Thermometer Jeans Challenge?
Replies

OK! Week 1 day 1 - I am pumped. My skirt is a size 4 and i normally am between a 6-8 and carry my weight and size in my lower half.
So excited to see everyone's results, especially come week 3 and 4!0 -
Ha ha mamareese I always think clothing in juniors is way cuter than the rest of it. We're not old ladies yet!0

I'm not even trying my thermometer jeans ON, yet!! Sheesh!!!!
I know they won't go up past my thighs....so, why bother??
Signed,
No hope in sight (yet!) - ask me in 4 weeks...0 -
You'll get there Beeps!0

Can I jump in a day late? I already have the jeans AND a skirt hanging on my door knob for motivation. This will make me work harder.0

Ditto, it was a big step for me just to try on my jeans, but I like the idea of having them out in plain sight to keep me motivated!
And welcome to the challenge Crystal!0 -
good gawd, I'm not hanging those damn jeans where I can see them, lol!!!
I'm hoping and praying I can fit into them in a couple months. Believe me, the inches are NOT coming off in leaps and bounds (on me)....0 -
Soooooooooooooo, I tried on my thermometer jeans.
G-A-W-D.
I *could* get them over my thighs. And then it was FULL STOP. I could not even get them over ANY part of my bum/hips.
Sheesh. I'm starting to think this challenge is a little AGRESSIVE for what I can accomplish!! (And these jeans are only ONE size down from where I am right now....because I have these jeans in one size up, and they fit me right now.)
Although I am dedicated to heavy-lifting, I'm also realizing the results just aren't FAST-COMING for me. It's not like I'm going to lose 3" on my butt and hips in (now) 7 weeks.
I am staying IN the challenge, to give it the good ol' college try. But, I'm 100% FREAKED OUT at what "one size smaller" looks like.
(And here I was hoping for, like 2 or 3 sizes smaller.....sheesh!! My imagination is NOT in line with REALITY, me thinks.)0 -
You'll get there Beeps. You are dedicated and you are awesome at setting manageable goals. Plus you stick with them once you set them up. Love that!!
I haven't attempted mine since I know the problem is my thighs, even if I could potentially button the waist, I couldn't fit my thighs in them without feeling like a squished sausage! :laugh:
I know I've got to pick up my running days, the idea of getting up at 5am brushing the car off to go to the gym just hasn't been there yet. I've got all my TF workouts in. But my expectation of hitting the treadmill 2x a week (which I know would help with these darn thighs!) just hasn't been met yet.0 -
you're so sweet, mama!
Well, it's not like me to give up on a good challenge....so, I'm not throwing in the towel, yet.
With my new and improved focus on LESS protein bars, I'm hopeful that some weight and some bloat might just LEAVE MY BODY (for good!).0 -

Can i hang mine on my refrigerator?! hahaha. I am the same way though, i hand them on my bathroom rack where I get ready. Serious motivation.
Honestly, i feel like my first week hasn't been great. I've had a hard time getting off my couch lately. BUT I am still super excited and plan to start doing some interval running today.
I can't remember if I already posted this link, so I apologize if so, but its got a TON of good cardio routines in here - something for everyone.

I think the key is just to keep in mind that these are long term goals, so we just need to take things one day at a time. Just think how great it will be down the road when we get to look back at these days and see how far we've come? If we could fit into those jeans/skirts at one point there's no reason we can't fit into them again eventually with a little hard work and some time.0

Great thoughts Ris. Love your attitude!! Absolutely right! Just keep plugging away. Every day is a day closer to those thermometer jeans!0

You are all AWESOME!! Happy V-Day! I am wearing red. alas, I am *still* not wearing my thermometer jeans, lol.0

I know it's already been 2 weeks since this started, but can I join in anyway??? I'm not losing any weight at all even though I have gone back to seriously working out as I did before having kids. I feel so much better and think I look a little bit better, but I have actually GAINED 2 pounds. 8-( I have 2 pairs of jeans that I've kept from just before my first pregnancy (only 5 years ago) that I would love to get back into. I'll pick one pair and hang them on my closet door. Are we taking before/after or progress pictures? I'm not much for posting photos of myself, but I will if it will help with the challenge.0

I was wondering what had happened to this thread....anybody try on their jeans this week?
What happened??
I'm doing my measurements and photos this weekend for "end-of-month-2" in my challenges, so I'll try on my thermometer jeans at the same time.0 -

I am trying mine on this upcoming Wed - week three, I believe. I don't feel like there is too much of a difference, but hopefully next week i'll notice some.0 -
I will try them on this weekend for the sake of the challenge. But...no hope. I am still exactly where I was and have been so terrible at staying anywhere near the wagon that I know the jeans are still a long shot. This weekend I should be able to work out, so hopefully that will help me get back on track.0

No change for me. Despite relatively decent eating. And workouts. Just have to keep pushing forward!!0
