heyhey
is it still possible to join this challenge? i need some motivation0 -
Hi there - we were out of town so I'm checking in late... even with going on a "Taco Tour of Texas" I still managed to lose two pounds. Yay!
SW: 195
CW: 191
GW: 1800 -
I am down another 1/2 pound---so happy, have been working hard and the scale has not moved for a month and a half, so a full pound this week
Week 4
- Eat in 6 out of the 7 days this week. Try to avoid EATING OUT!
will be easy as I pack a lunch to work and don't eat out much since we have had kids
- Add some WEIGHT TRAINING to your workout routine if you don't already!
honestly have to say that this won't happen. I REALLY DO NOT LIKE weights. The closest I come is yoga
- Pick one day and PAMPER yourself.
my pamper day is tomorrow which will be hot yin yoga--to me it's my version of a massage. Can't wait to go and destress!!!0 -
Congrats biggest losers! Wooh! That is some real motivation. Going to work out right now.
There are a bunch of marshmallow cookies that my family has been snacking on lately, and I'm trying my hardest to resist. I was going to eat some, but then I saw they were 120 calories per cookie!
Looking at the spreadsheet, it turns out we want to lose over 1000 pounds. How awesome would that be if we could accomplish that? I'm putting forth that challenge to the challenge (err, yeah), lose those 1000 pounds. We're already 188.3 pounds there0 -
I'm pretty creative in the kitchen and I love to try new things. I was surprised that I did not think of this myself! But... try using hummus rather than mayo in recipies. You can make tuna or chicken salad with it, you can make a 'taco dip' type salad with it... How could I not have thought of this on my own. DOH!!!0

Huge congrats to our biggest losers!!! I want to be on there one week!!! Determination is setting in!!!
Also have to say congrats to each and every one of us - do you realise we've lost 188lbs between us all in only 3 weeks?!?! Thats an amazing achievement!!! So well done everyone, keep up the great work!!
My challenges are going good so far, got my weights back out of the box for the first time in about a month the other night and it felt great!!
Off to stay with friends this weekend but will try to convince them to eat in tonight and only go out for dinner/lunch tomorrow.
Tomorrow I think I'll be pampering myself anyway with funtimes and drinks with the girlies!! Cant wait - it's just what I need!!!0 -

The sheet is updated0 -
I went over on my calories yesterday, but I was really hungry!! I don't know if it was the change in weather or what. The days before it was super hot and I didn't feel like eating, but made myself snack. So, I am thinking that might be it.
I didn't get my workout in yesterday either, which could be one of the reasons I was over. My recovering sprained ankle was aching all day and required alot of elevation and ice.
It is just one day, so I am not that concerned. I will just start today fresh and go on from there. So far, it has been a great day for eating and I am planning to keep it that way.0 -

Hi All. I am back from the weekend. Started to get back on track with eating yest, and even went for a jog. Did my eating out once yesturday and will be grabbing lunch out again today, but today I am getting a subway salad - so quite healthy. I am hoping my weight will be down from last week, but will still be up from the gain of last week. I need to get focused so I can get below that 150 mark.
Hope everyone is doing well.0 -
