Considering I had a bad start to the week I ate all around me from Fri - Mon as was pissed off with the gain :blushing: it's not too bad .. Worked my butt off but obviously had a lot of cals to burn off :grumble:

checking in

sw-260
cw-254
gw-8/09-240
gw-145-150

gained 1lb this week. With all that I ate and no execrise thought it would have been more. Lucky me I'm back on track now.

LOL- How profound Nikky- but yeah, I do get what your saying and I shall light a candle to the Goddess of weight and use these words as my healing mantra for the week. :flowerforyou:
PS- those shoes are to die for....

ChellieIrish- you making the switch gives me hope that the group will also make a successful transition to this board. Congrats on your loss!!! So going in the right direction.

LOL I am here a while just thought the other thread was where we posted :blushing: I posted a link back to here so people should be coming along soon :flowerforyou:

ok i'm getting a late start..but i'm in!!! I need a challenge!

Happy Friday all

A huge shout out to Pip and Ocean91- huge losses this week.

I am horrified and so disgusted to report a weigh in of 186 lbs this a.m.
I actually worked out 4 days however I blew it on my food and bloody snacking. This was my week to break the 180's- right! Now I'm closer to the 90's :noway: :noway:
Lord above- this is such a head game.

Am really proud of you out there, keep it up. You inspire me to stay with this. It's not over till it's over right?
Kytngirl and Nikkitoo-You both ROCK

I definately need words to kick me in the A## and get back on track!!!

Thanks! :flowerforyou:

Don't feel bad! Make this week a fresh start! I myself do so well during the day while I'm at work, but it's when I get home, and sit in front of the TV that I have the hardest time! I pig out like there's no tomorrow! So, this week, I put little stickies ALL over my house that say "Remember what you want", "No snacking past 8PM", "Drink Water", and "You can doooo iiiiiiiitttt!!" haha, I even hung my swim suit right by my TV... It looks a little weird, but it really helps me out! When I get that feeling, I look at my suit, and remember that me being healthy is way more important than the bowl of cereal I was heading for....

Hope that helps love! YOU CAN DO IT! Be strong! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Hey Bettame

Great to see your still in the challenge- and you know what? I can beat that measly pound gain by FOUR!!!!! I cannot let this go guys. I am having such a crappy week and the person who starts this challenge is failing. I really fell like I'm letting the group down and if so... I am so sorry and promise that this week I will throw myself into it body and soul :sad: :sad: :sad:

:flowerforyou: StJohn! You have done so much to inspire us in this challenge! We are all here to help eachother... You can do this girl!

I want to join I have a party to go to on aug.29 and I want to drop 20lbs, any advice besides the counting calories???

Take it slow. It's better to lose weight slowly bc you won't gain all the weight back...at least that's what I've experienced. Watch your cals, carbs, sodium, etc etc..eat your exercise cals (or at least some of them as long as you're staying above 1200 cals a day). Exercise exercise exercise! (interval training and circuit training are great!) Keep you're body active make sure you give yourself a rest day and def always stretch before and after working out. Ooo and don't forget to drink your water and eat healthy foods (balanced diet)

I'm in for the Summer Challenge!!! I desperately need motivation and accountability. When should we check in and how do we find one another???:bigsmile:
