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:

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:

Yes ma'am. Sorry for not putting it

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!

mylissab - I look at the date & find my last post, then read from there...

carolemack - at least those xtra bathroom trips mean an extra burn!

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?

I did fine with the water this week but not so much with the exercise. Looks like my body is letting me know it too!
