"10 Pounds At A Time Challenge"

I weighed in this morning and was pleasantly surprised that it had not moved. We spent the weekend camping and I didn't get to go hiking like I had hoped and didn't drink nearly enough water, so I was sure it would work negatively for me. And maybe it did... maybe I lost a pound or two earlier in the week and gained it back. I'm not fretting over it

I weighed myself Saturday morning instead of Sunday because I knew the food at the wedding reception would do me in. I had lost 4 pounds last week! Woo hoo!
But, yep, Saturday's reception ruined it. They had great food!:mad:
I ate enough brushetta to fill myself up before dinner even came!
And, the family went out to eat for lunch after church yesterday and went to a movie.
So, this morning I weighed in to find out the damage. 2 lbs.
But, that means I lost 2 pounds last week, total. Not too bad. I'll have to work hard the next 2 weeks, though, to get in my 10 for November. I can do it. I can do it.
Thanks, ladies, for all your support!0 -
Hey everyone! Sooooo glad to be back home, hectic weekend but we had a great time in Louisville. Tyler placed 2nd for class at the Show. We are so happy with that, he was ecstatic! My husband had show for years there and never placed that high.
We did some shopping while we were there, good Christmas deals! My wallet is hurting a little bit.
I also weighed myself Friday morning to see what damaged I would do to myself in Louisville, weight 219. I am very proud :bigsmile: to say that I weighed myself this morning, 218 - WOO HOO. What help I think was the walking we did, we had tie-outs for the cows a mile from the barn, and when we were at the trade show that was a LOT of walking. I did the treadmill at the hotel too, 45 minutes Friday night and 30 Saturday. I ate so-so, tried to really make good choices while there, chicken instead of steak (we are at a beef show and I ate chicken :blushing: ). It was worth it! 3 pounds to go for my December goal which worries me, TOM will be that week!
Congrats to everyone that loss, those who didn't hang in there it will happen, Welcome Newbies, and Hope everyone has a Wonderful Day! :flowerforyou:0 -
Good morning, everyone,
So this weekend I was a bit naughty again. I had bowling and beers with a group of gals I hadn't seen in a while...it was a blast! Then, I had dinner with another friend I hadn't seen in a while last night and we had beer and pizza. Oops.
But, I am back down to 203.8, which means I lost the 3.2 pounds I had gained back. Now, I'm ready to get to that 200 mark this week! But, TOM may try to stop me....
I just have to focus on exercising more and eating less.
Have a great day!

Falhaone: I'm sorry for your loss and it's completely understandable that you were "not on track." I have a feeling you'll do great this week. We're here if you need motivation, support or just to vent.
I propose that the group has a mini-challenge of trying to get exercise in at least five days this week for a minimum of 30 minutes each of those days. Anyone with me??

I'm up for the challenge. I've been a slacker for almost a week now and need to get back to sweating. Thursdays and Fridays are tough for me, but I will have to do one of them to make it 5 by Sunday. I can do it :bigsmile:0 -

Woo hoo for Tyler!!! Did better than Dad ever did! That's awesome!
I'm up for the challenge. 5 times a week, at least 30 minutes. I can do that, I think. Company comes in Friday to spend a week. I'm in big trouble then, because they LOVE LOVE LOVE to eat. I'm guaranteed at least one night of take-out pizza with them before Thanksgiving. And, well, you know, pies pies pies. :happy: Not to mention, even though it's not due to come, I feel like TOM already. I've heard of women who live with each other tend to begin to cycle together, but, could it be that everyone on the message board is coming together?? :laugh:
Maybe I should shoot for 5 times this week, but longer than 30 minutes!0 -
OK, I don't know how this ended up in the quote box up there, I'm such a dufus! :ohwell:

Thanks Heather, she is in a better place.
I would love to join the mini challenge...Monday i did 30 minutes on the treadmill, 2 miles done! Tuesday i also finished my 2 mile workout on the treadmill...for 30 minutes...
I think this challenge is doable for me...
small question for all:
when working out, do you eat your exercise calories? I find if i eat my exercise calories i gain weight. AGh!:sad:0 -
Thanks for the well wishes for Tyler.
I'm up for the challenge. I didn't get to exercise last night we had 4H meeting and Sunday night I was just physical exhausted from getting up that morning at 3:15 am for the show, plus I walked my booty off all over that place, so I did do a lot of walking. So that leaves me having to workout for the rest of the week. I might have to double up one night., my side of the family is coming for Thanksgiving on Saturday - I'm going to be strong! NO SNACKING WHILE COOKING!!!! Of course after eating I might just need to walk, we'll see how it goes.
Have a good day :drinker:0 -

Yeah, I do! I figured it was about time.
I'm glad to hear so many of you are up for the challenge this week. I need to get busy and continue with my Couch to 5K program. I'm also trying to talk my boyfriend into doing it, but he's so anti-cardio.
Last night was another naughty eating night with fajitas. I WILL get better, I promise. I'm meeting up with a friend for lunch on Saturday and she's going to outline for me how she lost 45 lbs. in four months. If she has any good tips, I'll be sure to share them with everyone!! Until then, I have to behave myself. At least Biggest Loser tonight and that always helps with the motivation.
Hope you're all off to a good start for the day!

I'm super bad with water and am a Diet Coke junky. I need to stop, I know. So, if there were a water challenge, what would it be? I'd need something feasible. (Like replacing ONE Diet Coke with a glass of water! Heck, what do you want? I'm addicted! :ohwell: )0

hi, i just joined today, is it too late to join??

LOL! I understand! I was thinking maybe just adding 2 glasses of water to the 8 we are already getting. Personally all I drink is coffee and water so this would not be too tough for me...but for you what you proposed might work best! I would say start off replacing one a day then increase with each week...YOU CAN DO IT!!!:smokin:0 -

I actually do need to work on my water... I haven't been doing so well the past few days. Normally it's not a big deal, but if I have a day or two where I don't do well it is tough for me to pick it back up. And it's not like I'm drinking soda or anything... I'm just not drinking.
I did workout last night... the original Biggest Loser workout video. Holy burning quads, Batman! Could they put any more squats and lunges in one workout? Wow. There are several different workouts on the DVD, so it may keep me entertained for a while.... assuming my TV doesn't give out on me. It's acting like it wants to die. 0 -

Good morning, everyone!
Last night after Biggest Loser, I completed Week 3, Day 3 of the Couch to 5K program. It was pretty easy and I even added two minutes of running at the end before my cool down. Yay. Tomorrow, I start the Week 4 workouts.
I also stayed within my calories last night, which I've been struggling with for the past few days. Weekends are terrible for my eating! Last night, my boyfriend started on his Men's Health eating plan again, so we're both moving toward eating better. It's unreal how delicious the meals are on his plan!! But, I still don't have him talked into doing cardio...he told me to stop swearing at him (to him, cardio is THE "S" swear word!).
This morning started with a protein shake for breakfast, so I'm off to a good start. The scale was up 1/2 lb. this morning, but I'm blaming TOM.
Have a great day!
