OVER 200 CLUB PUMP IT UP (OPEN GROUP) WEEK 12

Okay,

Water, good
calories, great
proud, that I have done so good this week With my calories, water, and exercise.(although I had taco bell for lunch :embarassed: I know, I know, but I am making up for it at dinner and I will still be within my calories)

Can't wait to see who loses the largest percentage of weight loss tomorrow

►trikstar, it sounds like it was probably a good thing that you let him go. Imagine that could have been your mother in law. Be glad, smile, and ignore all the babies.

►lstpaul, I am so proud of you. Only 1/2 your dinner. I do not know that I could have the strength:noway:

►ready2bff, remember that walking around and shopping is moving not sitting so you did keep that butt moving.:laugh: Good Job.

►andreasoulcastle, you get better girl!!!:flowerforyou:

►Jenn, good job on the cardio. 1.5hr. That is great. You are really burning those cals this week.:glasses:

►awestfall, we are going to miss you, come back with a great weight loss. See ya in a week(hopefully, sooner):flowerforyou:


►Hey Girls, just wanted to let you know that I will not be on the computer at all tomorrow. I will post my weight loss on Sat. Good Luck to everyone. Be planning what you want for a physical challenge next week. (you know just in case your the biggest loser this week )

Hi, I'm new to this. :flowerforyou: I am a 36 year old female and I weight 240. I started exercising at the local YMCA about two weeks ago. I weighed 232 then. :mad: I don't know why I have gained 8 lbs. I just started the food journal so I am hoping that will help. It's great though because a good friend of mine is my exercise buddy and even if one of us can't go we encourage the other go. It's just aggravating though because my husband has been working out the same amount of time as me and he has lost 10 lbs and I have gained 8. :explode:

Welcome:flowerforyou: I really think the food journal will help a great deal

Yesterday
Calories: not good
Water: Good
Exercise: Really good, making up for all the extra calories I ate. 30 minutes on elliptical, 40 pushups 100 crunches 25 squats and 40 lunges. Also road bikes with son for 15 minutes
Proud: that I kicked my butt working out.

Weigh in
Last week: 245
This week: 246 :noway: , but to be expected with how I ate


'Cjordan1072, Welcome and hope you like our group, I am really enjoying it and it does help to have a food journal. Even though sometimes I am not very good, when I enter all the food in my journal it helps me to see how bad it really is.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!

yesterday:
water: pretty good
calories: good
proud: stayed after my morning step class to get my lunges in

weekly weigh in ... not so hot - I'm up 1.2 pounds :explode: and I thought I had a pretty good week... I know where I didn't do well (potato chips & margarita), I think I may have to not eat as many of my exercise calories as I have been. I really need to add fruits and veggies to my diet more too, and have less of the high fat foods - I always seem to be over on fat and under on protein.
It's disheartening ... I've been losing and gaining this same 1.5 pounds for the last month. I need to really push to get past it. I'm not going to officially record my weight until tomorrow :ohwell: - I have hope that maybe some of this week's weight gain is water retention because I had a lot of salt yesterday. I'll weigh again in the morning at the Y and hope the scale is nicer to me tomorrow!

cjordan1072: welcome! Try not to let the scale discourage you (although I had to give myself the same pep talk this morning!) You should take your measurements because I would bet you are tightening everything up and losing inches - even if the scale isn't showing you a loss yet ... and you will see the scale numbers go down eventually if you keep up with working out at the Y and start tracking your food here! Good for you! :flowerforyou:

lstpaul - I am right there with you, up a pound , with me it was the calories didn't do very well, but am really going to try and eat a lot better this next week. I think my biggest issue is I do bad and fall off the wagon, I need to tell myself if I do bad I just need to turn it around again. I heard someone say once "comfortable is not comfortable any more" this is soooo true for me.

Hope you have a great weekend!!!

Great Job Trikstar!!!!! and just think of how much you would lose if you put a little exercise in with that. Congrats!!

Yeah. I know. *facepalm* I need to get a schedule together that I can work with and not wear myself down on. Thanks for the friending!

Wow, great workouts!!!!

lstpaul, thanks for that info. That is something we should be thinking about as we are losing weight to update our goals and make sure that they are for our current weight. I hope you see a big change on friday.

Glad to see everyone is doing so well. Great job on the exercise

ready2bff drink your water.

I know, I really need to work on making sure I drink all of my water on the weekends, it is so hard for me, because I am always on the go all weekend. I will really try and work on it this weekend, we are going to the lake for a long weekend so it will really put me to the test.

That sounds like a great challenge. Thanks for coming up with 20-40 pushups a day.
