The Final Meltdown 7.7.09

Hi all. My goals for this challenge will be a 7 pound loss (current weight 192 to 185) and to drink my water every day - WHY I have a problem with this, I don't know! So far, since May, I've lost 15 and know that the accountability of this website and the good motivation and challenges have been a big part of helping me to make a real lifestyle change. Good luck to everyone!

59 days left?

Hi! Just checking in briefly from a motel in Grand Island, Nebraska. I'll set my goals when I get home. Chrissy, I'm pulling for you - 75 this week for sure! Anthrochix - welcome, and don't feel alone on the water thing. It's a constant struggle for me. Few people know my dirty little not drinking water secret, but I am overcoming it! Smadag - hope your cousin got home okay, time to get back at it. Better go get on the road for my next stop! Here's to smart choices! Mary

ok, I am doing P90X, so one of my goals is continue with this, I will be on week 10 of the program by Sept. I am 194 right now and would like to be 180 by then, but that may be a bit steep so I will set my goal at 185 and maybe hope for more. I also need to eat more veggies.

Ok I think my list is long enough now.

Have a great day everyone!!

Way to go on the water memaw!

Good Morning All! :flowerforyou:

Just got back from my morning walk with hubby......

No # goal.......it's really hard to make it come off after 50yrs!!

I'll stick with Chrissy's exercise 45/59......exercise seems to
be the hardest for me. It's easier to sit on the couch and
think about it than to do it!!

Water isn't an issue for me......drink 6-8 bottles daily which contain 16oz each......
YES! I'm floating by the time I can get back to the station for a potty break!!

Thanks for this great motivational thread!!

Confession time...Have not been online in a while. Last log weight was 158 but I got down to 153...now have gained back to 160. All this in over a month but I have lost about 25lbs total since Jan.

Time to commit again.

Goal: Lose 10lbs
Goal: Excercise(I have not exercised at all---nada)
Goal: Stick to my supplements

If I do all three..10lbs is obtainable. Since I have changed my lifestyle(way of eating) in Jan I have not excercised at all and still lost 25lbs so with the push I can do it.

Ok...time to get Serious again!

I workout 5 days a week doing Chalean Extreme
My real goal is to log my eating everyday! That is where i have trouble

Yep for me more veggies too!

you guys know whats great and an easy way to get in your veggies...those steam bags of frozen veggies.....they're yummy, crisp and cheap....(stop & shop brand anyway...lol) but after watching the biggest loser I dont' feel bad about not making fresh all the time....they said actually frozen can be just as good if not better because they are frozen at the peak of freshness, while some of our veggies travel a long time before we get em

not so sure how healthy microwaving them in the bag is....but that's a story for another thread:ohwell: :flowerforyou:

Hi everyone,

i drink coffee in the morning and a diet coke for lunch, but, since I hardly ever feel thirsty, I just don't get the water in that I need during the day. I know it sounds gross, but sometimes when I go pee at the end of the day it's real dark brown and I know it is because I'm dehydrated. I want to satrt giving my kidneys some LURVE!

Good Wednesday morning to you all!!

Ok, so the delio is that yesterday, I went to the gym after work, rode the bike for 40 minutes, then spend 20 mins on the free weight area, working triceps. Ran home, prepped a salad and stored it for later, jumped in my car and raced back to work where I met up with a coworker (doctor) who is doing track workouts with a whole buch of teenagers who are overweight. We split up into teams which lined up in a row, started walking and passing a beach ball overhead. when the last one got the ball, he/she had to speed walk to the front of the line and start over. We had most of the kids (and many of their parents) stick with it for a full mile (this is a great accomplishment for many of these kids!). I jogged around the track an extra half mile, handing out water. Yay cardio Tuesdays!

This morning (3am), I got up and walked my dog for 2 miles. No jogging, which is a goal... my hips were feeling wobly this morning after the biking and jogging yesterday~ I will hit the gym after work again for 45 mins of cardio and 20 mins of weights (hamstrings).

Good luck in your goals today!

Good morning all! :drinker:

My goals for this challenge is to refocus on working out 5-6 days a week (I've been slacking big time since the summer came). Stop snacking so much and get up earlier to go to the gym and get it out of the way in the morning so I have the rest of the day to do whatever is needed. I would like to be out of the 170's by 9/4.

:glasses: C/W: 178.4

We can make this happen so let's stay strong, positive and focused for each other! :drinker: Have a wonderful day....:flowerforyou:

......Off to the gym now.....
