    Sorry I've missed a few days checking in with you guys. Well that's the weekend over with, back to work in the morning - boo hoo.

    Goals today
    Finished under on cals with a nice large deficit
    Worked out like crazy today, my motivation being that I had no weight loss to report this week
    C25k, just finished week 6, wow that was tough.

    Mini challenge of 2 miles, that's a good one Penny, think I will walk part way home after work, that will be about 2.5 miles. Wonder what everyone else will do...

    Can't believe its almost march, doesn't time fly when you're having fun!

    Hi gals:

    I am really struggling and feel like I am just tanking lately (actually most of this month). I keep trying to out exercise my bad diet and it is not working. I would hate to see where I would be at were it not for all of my obsessive exercising. I was actually going to take a break today but ate such crap that I felt guilty and went and did a day of c25k. Feel like all I do is complain on here....sorry about that!

    I know several of you are doing the C25K training....curious do you stick to a certain time or distance. I went a full 5 k today and it took me 40 minutes. Not sure if I should be sticking to the guides 20 minutes or covering the full distance.

    Our group seems to be MIA so I hope that everyone is doing well and sticking to their goals. Seeing everyone making it works, makes me want to keep trying! Thanks!!
  • Good evening ladies! I feel the same Hawkeye we need to vamp up this group. None of the newbies stayed ;0(.

    This is a challenge and its called never going to give up! So lets NOT GIVE UP and challenge ourselves all the more!

    Life brings obstacles but we need to learn how to overcome them and make good choices no matter what is going on.

    THAT BEING SAID WE ARE GOING TO TACKLE MARCH!

    WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?

    1. 100 MILES ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM IN THE MONTH!
    2. A MONTH WORTH OF STAYING WITHIN OUR CALORIES
    3. MINI CHALLENGES M/W/F
    4. CHECK IN EVERYDAY GOOD OR BAD TO MAKE US ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR CHOICES

    WHO IS IN?

    TAKE NOTE OF HOW MUCH YOU WEIGHT TOMORROW, SO WE CAN WEIGH IN AT THE END OUR MONTH AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE. MEASUREMENTS ARE WONDERFUL FOR THOSE OF YOU CLOSER TO YOUR GOALS!
  • Hi there,
    I'm not new to this site but am definitely new to this group. I've seen a lot of posting from the members who are being so supportive of each other and I wish to join in. Can I? I have been in this site trying to loose weight and I managed to in the first few months. However, I have been lacking on the weight lost due to the long holidays and celebrations which got me to add on 2 kg. I would love to loose to my target level and really need the support.

    I would love to join. For the first time ever I weighed in this morning and didn't get discouraged that the scale went up a little. I expected it after the long bad week last week but am ready to move forward with this week and make the numbers go the other way.

    My Goals

    1) workout everyday M-F for at least 30 minutes
    2) drink more water. I get stuck at 6 cups a day
    3) stay under calories
    4) make better food choices

    Good Luck everyone :laugh:

    I'm in....I think I did much better when I was actually checking every day with everyone! Kept me much more accountable.

    1-Miles--12 miles for the day with spin class and my walk to work. Guess that covered the mini challenge too.

    2-calories-well so far so good. I have logged everything I brought to work but it is the night times that get me.

    Starting weight--160.4 (went up a couple of pounds from the start of last week-told ya I had a rotten week!)

    Good luck everyone!!!
  • Good Morning All! Welcome Scythswife!

    Boy oh Boy am I off track!! I need to stay a part of this challenge and I tend to go Coo Coo when life puts me in fast forward!

    Goals are this week are to
    Stay at calorie goal
    Burn 1000 calories most days
    Focus more on me/house/procrastination list

    Today I am going to stay focused. I have reset my calorie goal as I don't have an immediate goal in mind. We are in this for life, right? I will burn the maximum calories and be okay with the number and I will focus on my list.

    Happy Monday all, I will check back in tonight!!

    Good morning, and welcome to the new people. Keep coming back.

    Penny, glad you are giving us a kick in the pants. I am up a couple pounds, and need to make more effort. Also, I got the results from my cholesterol test last week and those darn LDLs have popped up again. I can't take statins because of the muscular side effects, but I've been controlling it mostly with diet and exercise for a couple years. I took my eye off the ball. I'm dissapointed in myself for letting that go. On my December test my LDLs (the bad fat) was 108; last week it was 142. I'm trying to get it below 100. So, I will be getting tested again at the end of March, and I will report that to you. Sorry about the rant, but this is related to my weight loss and management goals and my health.

    So...
    CW 145 (I don't like my number either. I want to get to 130) I'm only 5'3

    Have to admit I cringed a little at the thought of 100 miles in a month, but on thinking about it, I have been wearing my pedometer, with a daily goal of 10,000 steps, which is 5 miles. If I were to get 10,000 every day, I'd have the 100 miles in 20 days. I can do this! I have written down the exercise schedule so I won't have to get online and waste 45 minutes "quickly" checking what to do next.

    Will check in later.
  • We are here for the good, the bad and the ugly days! We are all human but I find making myself accountable makes a HUGE difference! We are in this all together and that is a fact! One of my favorite quotes, " Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, BUT anyone can start today and make a new ending ". I think of it as ending the unhealthy life I was leading and making a lifestyle change to start a new chapter of success and healthy habits!

    100 miles is overwhelming when you look at it, but it really isnt that bad! I know we all can do it!

    Well I'm off for now, my in-laws are coming for dinner and I need to make my house spit spot!


    Hugs!

    Work out 5-6 days a week (training for a 5k run)
    Stay within my daily calorie allowance and eat healthy foods (not processed)

    I have 13 more pounds to go until I reach my healthy weight range!!!! But I still would like to be 10 pounds lower then that, 145, but I'll take just being in my healthy range for now, haha
