- Eat in 6 out of the 7 days this week. Try to avoid EATING OUT!
I didn't do so well this week. I did not make this.
- Add some WEIGHT TRAINING to your workout routine if you don't already!
I weight train at least 2x a week, however this week I did 3x.
- Pick one day and PAMPER yourself.

Just started this challenge yesterday by weighing in.
Yesterday was my first day getting back on track with my weight loss and my goals.
Starting weight (Monday June 25th): 149.6 pounds
Today's weight (Tuesday June 26th): 148.9 pounds
Lost 0.7 pounds
so forcing myself back on track yesterday was worth it!
This Week's Challenges
-fell hard roller skating last month & really injured my knees & wrists & pulled all the muscles from my finger tips to my shoulders & still haven't recovered fully so at the moment I won't be attempting regular push ups or the ones on my knees which is what I am usually capable of doing but I did just do 2 sets of 25 wall push ups & I surprisingly felt the burn in my forearms during the second set so much that I had to force myself to complete the last few
-since today is only my 2nd day attempting to get back on track my biggest focus is measuring & logging all my food accurately as well as working to stay under my calories as until this week I had been eating what I want when I want & lots of it but sugar is something I was almost always over the past so I will keep an eye on that this week & I am happy to say that yesterday my sugar at the end of the day was 0 so that is not over!
-as for sharing some time with someone, I love I will likely be spending a few days with my parents on the weekend0 -
Ok. Did really great with the challenges this week BUT no weight loss. This always seems to happen to me. I start losing and quickly plateau. I even added in 30 day shred (5 days last week). I didn't do as much walking since my knee has been a bit swollen. I had surgery in April and sometimes I need to pull back when the swelling won't go down. I feel good but I want the scale to change and my clothes from last summer to fit. I was down to 135 and was so happy - bought lots of clothes for my honeymoon and now most don't fit
Off to take a walk.... 0 -
136
136 lbs today, so down another .5lbs. But as I get closer to my goal weight I am finding the loss way harder, and more effort. I am aiming for 125, not sure if that is realistic, but definitely want to get to 130. so getting close.
Chanllenges-did not eat out, that is easy for me
No weights, don't like them, I will stick with my yoga as I found that has toned my body and am happy with the reuslts
My pamper day was a hot yoga yin class
hoping for a great week of staying on track!0 -
I Lost a pound. Boy was that hard to do. I'm tried to meet all the physical challenges. I don't make them every day but I'm trying and that keeps me honest, or least aware of what I'm doing or not doing. I didn't have a problem eating out. Not into it these days.

Have to look for the next challenge. I didn't see it posted, I probably missed it. I'll check again.
Found it. New Challenges:
- Challenge yourself to 50 PUSH-UPS for the week (if 50 is too easy for you or isn't practical, pick a more achievable but still challenging goal)
- Pick one of your NUTRIENTS that you track and have difficulty with (besides carbs - so protein, carbs, sodium, etc.) and work at getting better at hitting goals/staying under maximums
- Share some time with SOMEONE YOU LOVE0 -
sw 2/1/12 160 ish
tw 6/26/12 151.8
gw 8/1/12 145
I am 5' 7" and have been between 147-155 for the past 4 years. i look much better at 147
I am getting married the end of august and have been trying to loose weight for that. my dress fits, but i want to look better in it!
I just finished the jm 90 day shred and loved it! so I started over again. I have noticed inches lost and muscle tone, but still do not fit into my "goal" pants so I have been adding fruit and veggies, hard to cut out carbs since I am also training for my 2nd half marathon and need the fuel.
I drink a lot of water in a day, but do not keep good track of how much, I have a water bottle I am always filling so I will try and keep track.0 -

I am 24 years old, 4'11" and weight 121 lbs, I am wanting to lose 10lbs. I recently changed my diet to include vegetables, fruits, and lots of protein. I eat whole grains every now and then. I eliminated all pop, sweets, and fast food. I drink only water. I was doing the advocare products for 24 days without much results. It is too expensive for me to stay on the product; however, I really liked the meal replacement shakes in the morning. Are the OTC Whey Protein Shakes good for weight loss? And is there anything else I could do to increase weight loss. I lost approximately 5lbs in 24 days with the Advocare and diet change. I work nights and have a baby so it is hard for me to find a lot of time to workout or sleep at that. Thanks for any feedback0

I personally don't like meal replacement shakes because I feel like they don't really help you permanently change your diet. I feel like the biggest part of weight loss is the ability to maintain when you're done (which I recently really screwed up due to stress in my life.) But part of that is teaching yourself to eat right so you can keep doing that forever.
I think it'd be better to eat real, fresh food than something in shake form.
But that's just me.0 -

Will do... I'm tracking fiber, but I don't pay any attention to it, so now I will. I noticed on your spreadsheet that my total pounds lost column doesn't add up. Not a real problem though since the pounds to goal still works. Also, thanks so much for all you are doing for us! Off to try some push ups with the kiddies.....0

Weighed in at 160.0.
I knew this was going to be a bad week though because I've hardly worked out and it was my brother's birthday. They dragged me to olive garden right after work, so the hunger made me shove down bread sticks. ive also had cake and ice cream. for a couple days last week I was very discouraged, so I could hardly bring myself to work out. I mindlessly went on a bike ride if I had any free time. I'm starting to get motivated again, went on a short run tonight. not a good week at all, but surprisingly ny body fat went down.
ps sorry about typos. I'm on my phone, and this is difficult.0 -

I had a good week in regards to consistently seeing my weight go down. I didn't make it to the gym as much as I wanted to over the last week and I'm leaving for Cancun on Friday. I won't be working out much while on vacation, but I will try and make good food choices. 0
