This my second challenge going forward. I am going to weigh in on Friday's for Monday's weigh in.
I don't know about you, but the weekends are a killer for me. Not saying that I will throw caution to wind on the
weekends, but I will watch. Monday's were so defeating for me when I got on the scale.
We shall see if this works on this challenge.
Good Luck next week everyone, we can do this. :bigsmile:0 -
BUMPity, bump---for later!!!
have a great day everyone..0 -
Good job to all of those who have posted so far! Whether weight lost, calories burned or effort put forth, it all counts towards the goal. Keep up the good work!
Tatyanne- happy birthday and I am gonna get myself the same gift for my birthday :laugh:0 -
Hi! I am new to this... is there a way that I can start reading where I left off instead of going through all the posts again? I really appreciate your help!0

Since this is a thread, all you can do is remember what page you left off on and read forward from there.

Wow! To those of you that have weighed in already...what fantastic losses! Sure helps give me the drive to stay on course this weekend so that come Monday I can do as well as all of you.
Thanks to Kirsten's water challenge I managed to get my water intake up to 8 cups a day for the past two days...that could become addicting actually. :laugh: Who would have thought I could get addicted to something other than Diet Coke! I am, however, getting up every hour during the night to visit the bathroom! I hope that goes away in time.
I'm off to my lung rehab clinic. I will be checking in later to see if there are any other great success postings.
Have a great day everyone!
p.s. Happy Birthday Andrela! :drinker:0 -

Hi All - I don't know if this is the fastest way to find our thread - but I go to the "Community Tab" then the "My Topics" menu & our thread is usually right at the top... if there is a faster way, I'd love to know - but that's what I do...
Another great day (yay!) I made a skinnytaste.com santa fe crock pot chicken. I put it all together last night, then threw it in the crockpot before work this AM. She recommends serving over rice - for the kiddos they put it in burrito wraps.
The weekends have typically been tricky for me (I usually lose M-F, then gain it back Sat & Sun - I am DETERMINED to break this cycle!!!) Hope you all have a great night! Hugs - Amy
Amy (tealight) - Sorry to hear about the stressful work changes! Hope it gets better soon
MrsGStone: I'm not sure what I am set to as far as weight loss (probably should check that). For the challenge I tried to set up a bigger initial loss (2.7#'s) then alternating 2#/1# weeks. I am 5'9" 205(ish) pounds... MFP has me set at 1200 calories, which on a non-workout day is not very realistic for me - I usually take in about 1400-1600 calories (when I'm on track).....
kvonjohn - can't wait for you to hit your 2# goal this week!
Kristen (KC) - totally agree about the sleep thing! If I'm not getting enough good rest, everthing else seems to fall apart. Mmmm love banana bread. I like to make w/whole wheat flour, homemade applesauce in place of oil & sometimes I add a cup of blueberries in there....
Kristinkt - so excited that you are closing in on your goal
crysbutcher3 - working nights sounds tough! are their any days you can get more sleep in? Yikes!
Emilie - congrats on the loss!!
Tatyanne - Happy Birthday!!!! Woo hoo - great way to celebrate with weight loss!
Cheesem - way to hit the 10# loss mark!
Tina - great work losing 3#'s
Yatta - great work maintaining thru the holidays!
Elle - great work on the loss this week! Enjoy the bike trip!
Christine - wishing a happy day to you too!

I'm going to do my best over the next couple of days, but I won't be surprised if I haven't lost any weight this week. But that's okay. Because from now on, I have...
A PLAN.
I know none of you actually know me, so you don't know how significant this is for me, but suffice to say, I am very much a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kinda gal. But that obviously hasn't been working for me. So, starting fresh on Monday, I have a meal plan all set up (if anyone is familiar with it, it's from the POP Pilates 90 Day Challenge), and a workout schedule.
Every morning before work, I'll be going to the gym before work for an hour. This is the part that is going to require the most discipline because I am SO not a morning person. I'm going to eat a CLIF bar before going (just discovered them today, oh man are they good!), and have a more complete breakfast with me for when I finish my workout and am heading to work (1/2 a cup of oatmeal, a small hard boiled egg, and 1/2 a banana). Luckily, I'm fat enough that when I go the gym for an hour of cardio, I burn around 1000 - 1100 calories.
When I get home, I'm going to to 40 - 50 minutes of target pilates. Each day targets a different area. I don't know about you guys, but I want a smokin' butt :P
In total, I'll be taking in about 1600 - 1800 calories a day, and burning 1200 - 1400. I'm excited about that! I'll do that workout schedule 5 - 6 times a week, and of course give myself a day off.
What do you guys think?0 -
You have great dedication!
When I get up in the morning I'm like screw it or in the evening I'm making excuses. But I like to try your plan though....I'm going to look it up. My weight has been stalling and TOM rolled in so it is going to be a hard weekend/weigh-in.

I think it sounds great! Sounds like you have it all mapped out...and only YOU know what you can and can't do and what your body can and can't tolerate...so this is great that you are so tuned into your body! I have total faith in you...and I will add you to my prayer list...a little help from God never hurt anyone. :flowerforyou:I'm going to do my best over the next couple of days, but I won't be surprised if I haven't lost any weight this week.

What do you guys think?
Btw....
I take my HRM to work and add my 12 hour workday into my exercise routine for the following day. (I work 7p-7:30a) So I usually walk about 8 miles at work on average and burn about 550 or more calories while I'm there. I don't exercise on the days I work...only because when I get home I'm totally exhausted!!!! Have you thought about doing the same thing? Taking an HRM to work and add that as part of your exercise? What do you do for a living? If you walk alot I would say go for it...take it and utilize that as a time to get in a good workout.
Good luck to you...and I can't wait to see how this works for you!!!!0 -

::Waving:: Hi Amy!
Working nights has been a way of life for me for many many years and I really wish I could sleep more...I guess my body is just used to getting up after 4 or 5 hours now. I work full time 12 hour shifts at a local hospital and I run my butt off from the time I get there til the time I go home...I rarely...and I do mean RARELY take my half hour lunch breaks...I just don't have time! I pick up a TON of overtime usually to buy my kids stuff they want...I'm the only income so I push myself sometimes too much but want to make sure we have things we need here at home.
On my nights off I will tell you that I DO play catch up and sleep a LOT. How much sleep do you get on average? Have you ever worked nights? Oh...and I will tell ya...I DO feel like a vampire sometimes....the sun hurts my head and I get headaches really easy on bright sunny days when I'm trying to sleep. I have black out curtains but I can still see the sun through the cracks lol. I'm an odd ball....0 -
Hey Alex...great weight loss!!!! :drinker:0

Wow--everyone is off to a good start--CONGRATS. Been doing pretty well with my exercise and water, so I am happy about that (actually hitting the Y this morning with the family), however, I haven't been watching as much as I should. While under calories MOST of the time, they've been empty calories (which may just show up on the scale--ugh).
We will see what Monday brings--good or bad, I am in this and will get to my goal! Also toying with the idea of Friday weigh-ins. . . I seem to do so much better during the week because of being at work and eating more on a schedule than I do on the weekends . . .
Have a GREAT week and let's hope to see "less" of all of you!

I burned 2807 claories so far this week through Jazzercise and walking. I added walking several times this week to up my exercise. My neighborhood loop is 1.54 miles, 15 floors, and 3636 steps ( thank you fitibt.)0 -
Looks like most people are having a great start to this challenge.
I hope next week goes well for everyone.
Dedication is the key. :flowerforyou:0 -
I have burned 2790 for the week, may be a bit more if I do Zumba this afternoon. Had a great workout with the trainer this morning and we talked about a new plan for when I'm off in the summer....I'm excited. Hope everyone is having a good week. My weight loss will probably be larger than normal because I gained bloat/water/salt weight while on vacation and that was reflected in my Monday weigh in. I have dropped most of that, thank goodness. Let's see what Monday morning brings.......0
