"10 Pounds At A Time Challenge"

Good morning!

I'm struggling a little this week... it's that lovely cranky and tired :yawn: time of the month for me, so I'm having to avoid the pantry more than usual and forcing myself to workout. I might not have another stellar week, but I'll be happy to not gain. I should be much better in a few days though. :glasses:

u cannnnn do it!!!!!!........im in the same boat as u lol......but the last few months i found the more fruits and veggies i eat along with the more water i drink ....I get less cramps less bloating and for some reason the period time is cut in almost half!!!....YOU CANNNNNNNN FIGHT THE URGE!! (Even if u havvvve to kill someone along the way)....although I wouldnt advise it lol...I dont think jail can be much fun :ohwell: :laugh:

Happy Wednesday, only 10 more days for our first weigh in :flowerforyou:

I started working out on the Wii Fit last night. I forgot how much fun I had playing it and what a workout it can be. I started on it after the kids went to bed, it's easier because I always give in when they want to try. I was only going to do it for 30 minutes, well ended up working on it for 1:40. Woo hoo, had fun and worked out.

Hope everyone has a great day. :drinker:

Thats awesome!! haha its great when u can workout and have fun while losing track of the time... that atleast means youre enjoyin yourself ^5's!!!

question about the weigh in....were we sposed to lose 10lbs this month?? :ohwell: i started midway through the month with this group so if i lose 5 is that ok? lmao :laugh: :laugh:

Because we started in the middle of the month we set the 1st goal for 5 lbs! :happy:

oooooooo so i didnt start late !! yay........:bigsmile: .....Im only 1 lbs away from 5 pounds lost wooooohoooooooooo

Congrats on the below 200 mark!!! :-)

i actually went for a walk tonight.......the first time in over a month and a half maybe 2 months :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

sorry your having a BLAH day .... things will get better ..... as for me i am terrrrrrrrific since my scale was so kind to me this morning ... out of the 200's WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO

That is AWESOME!!! :bigsmile:

I think I'm over my crankiness, but I am battling a cold, so I'm still kind of tired. I have a very full evening planned and may or may not get to work out. I have no idea when I could fit it in, but I need to try.

I'm on day 34 of Power 90 and I am bored to death with it. Part of me really wants to stick out the 90 days, but it's the same thing over and over and over. No variety. It doesn't even change when you go up to the Level 3-4 DVD... same workout, just more of it. I don't want to burn myself out, so maybe I'll have to switch to another video for a while. I promised myself I'd commit to 90 days but if it's making me not even want to work out, I guess it's worth breaking that promise to myself as long as I'm still working out. Right?

One more day till weekend,

Feeling pretty good for the most part. Kids begged me to make those YUMMY meatballs, those things are going to be the death of me. My boys were popping them in like popcorn, I finally had to put them in the freezer. Out of sight out of mind! Off to the treadmill for 30 minutes.

I also think I am obsessed with the Tennis on the Wii, I played last night after the kids went to bed at 8:30 and played till 10:15, whoa. Proud to say that I am ranked as a Pro now, :laugh:. I have tennis arm this morning.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day and 10 more until weigh in :flowerforyou: .
We can do this!

Well back to work today. Kids all had the flu. yucky. I ate pretty good while I was off work.
I am not weighing myself til my TOM is over though

haley4tn: You like the Wii huh? I was thinking of getting it for Christmas for my boys of course so I could use it too, so many people say its a good workout and good family activity.

We all love it, my youngest LOVES boardgames and we don't always have the time to play, there is a Wii game with boardgames. My hubby like the bowling and the oldest has a hunting game. I bought the Wii Fit, comes with a balance board that you can also use for a Ski game. You play games and work out, what can be better. Be cautious I have had to scoot the coffee table close to the TV, keeps that from getting close, lol. But overall I think it's great, it's more action than the other play systems and the results are from your movement, not button pushing.
Glad the kids are feeling better!

Good morning!

I LOVE boxing on the Wii, but am not home enough to do it. Now that we're heading into winter, I might have more time. I've been tempted to buy WiiFit and the Jillian game to go with it, but it seems like a lot of money for a game....

Yesterday went well with the new calorie calculation and I was down the two lbs. that I gained from TOM, so that's a plus. Hopefully this means when the week is over, the scale might be down even further (fingers crossed!) I'm going to get passed this plateau!!

This weekend I'm moving my horse to a boarding stable with an indoor arena, so I'm hoping to add in lots of riding time for workouts this winter. My horse is a bit chubby and needs the exercise, too!

Have a great day and happy exercising!

Sure I think I can handle 10 lbs per month so count me in too will keep trying:mad:

Am I too late to join? I just found MFP a few days ago.

nope your not too late ............welcome aboard and good luck on your weight loss journey . Please tell us a lil bit about you ... and your goals .... since we started in the middle of Oct. we are only doing a 5 pound loss and then 10 after that ... again good luck

I have just been watching my calories and exerrcising. I only drink water and occasionally milk. I have been doing the Leslie Sansone Big Burn @ mile intervals (jogging and running) and also the Biggest Loser Boot Camp. I started my weight loss on April 30th and have really been slacking the last 4-6 weeks!!

I took looked the the Julilian Michaels game, all the ones I read for the reviews for the Jillian Games for Wii and all were pretty bad. The 2010 has some better reviews, but for most still have some iffy reviews. I actually have been looking at the Biggest Loser Wii, very HIGH reviews and I have a bid on a copy at Ebay... my name is Angela and I am a Ebay junkie, there I said it..... I feel better :laugh: I'm saving about $12 plus it has free ship, wish me luck :happy: . I've been wanting a workout video and thought I'd give this a try.
