    I want to see 155 on the scale. My birthday is right at the end of the 10weeks and I refuse to be at the same weight I was last year. I'm actually 2lbs above that weight right now.

    I'm going to stick with my stronglifts and sprints and make sure I'm eating enough!

    My goals for the next 10 weeks:

    8 glasses of water a day (not including tea or whatever else)
    exercise at least 3x a week
    stay within calorie goals (right now set to 1250, but I allow anything under 1600... 1250 is just the goal)

    So I guess we're about halfway through week one. My main struggle right now is eating ENOUGH! Crazy.

    Without a schedule at all really, I'll find that it's 3 or 4 in the afternoon before I realize I haven't eaten so I average one, maybe two meals a day. I really need to make sure I'm eating enough!!

    My goal is to lose 10 lbs in 10 weeks.

    I'm struggling with staying within 1200 calories on days I don't work out so trying to get some kind of workout in everyday, even if it's just a quick walk! Eating healthy is so expensive so practicing portion control is a big thing for me, I also need to watch my carb intake because I can easily consume all of my allowed carbs for the day before lunch.

    I also want to be able to run for 5 minutes straight so I need to get my inhaler and get this asthma in check!

    Lastly, I want to be able to do 1 more burpee each week. I can currently do about 4 before my HR is at 80% and I'm struggling to breathe. PATHETIC!

    I am not going to focus so much on what the scale says and let it discourage me and focus more on building muscle so I can burn fat easier.

    Thanks Rach for all of your support and hard work, can't wait to see how everyone does over the next 10 weeks!! :happy:

    Sorry I'm super late posting. I thought we were starting next week. I'm up a little from the end of last round, 182.2.

    I'm having real difficulty getting in 3 meals and two snacks a day. It's so hot that I don't want to eat. I'm finding that I'm not getting in all 80 oz of water either. I've had my 7 year-old stepson this week and it's been crazy with running around that we've been eating out a lot. McDonald's, fried shrimp, Burger King. I don't like eating that stuff and I really don't want him eating it either but I haven't been able to plan meals this week so we aren't left with a lot of choices.

    So my goals are
    plan out lunches and dinners
    make sure to get all my calories in every day
    drink my 80 oz of water daily
    get back into TurboFire and jogging in the evening
    get back to my 2lbs a week loss - 20 pounds this round :)

    Good luck ladies!!

    I think that is why the weekends are so hard for me. Maybe we should make a schedule so we are still treating our bodies good!

    We're in the same boat with starting off on TOM. :sick: Hoping that seeing that water weight fall off will be a motivator in the end!

    I'm hoping to get down another 10 lbs. The weight moved faster when I was higher up there, and I'm hoping that the activity from the new job (always standing or walking around now) will help to make up for being a bit too tired to work out on some days. I'm also a bit limited on what I can do, only in terms of how it will hurt the next day. I did squats a few days ago, and the following day was almost unable to pick things up off the ground. :laugh: Kind of weird having to set a limit when I feel great at the moment just so that I don't cripple myself for the next day at work!

    Not sure where we are weighing in for the end of this week, so I'm doing it here!!

    As of this morning, I am 180.4 - down one pound from last week!!! :bigsmile:

    As for my goals (since I've not had a minute to post here all week), they have changed a bit in the last week. I originally thought that I was gonna get back to doing StrongLifts, but have rethought that decision. Instead, I am starting my half marathon training using a program designed by Runner's World magazine. The BF and I are both doing it in preparation for a half that we will be doing at the end of September! Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday will be running days. All of the others will be rest and/or cross training. So, the BF and I will be doing some circuit training stuff in the mornings on M, W, F and I will also be doing yoga a few nights a week. Additionally, I will continue to take the bootcamp class at my gym on Saturday mornings.

    As for weight loss, I have my calories set to lose 1/2 lb per week so I will be happy if I lose at least 5 lbs this round.

    Well, goal for the next ten weeks: figure out what the #&%@*^ I'm doing wrong that I gained back 10 of the 40lbs I lost and change it so I can lose those 10 and hopefully continue losing beyond that. I did up my cals since I wasn't losing at the 1470 MFP recommended and I was constantly hungry. I checked out the eat more to weigh less group and am hoping the 3 I gained was because of upping the cals (I went up to 1800, not the 2106 that was recommended as my TDEE-15%,) have noticed that I'm not feeling like I am constantly hungry at least. Since I have a part time 2nd job, I may see how much it costs for me to work with a personal trainer at the gym once a week for a few weeks and maybe that will help get me on track too. Open to suggestions if anyone has some

    I've recommitted and been back on the wagon for close to 30 days.

    My goals are:
    To eat clean everyday.
    Limit myself to one Diet Pepsi at work a day...ultimately weaning myself off again.
    Walk as much as possible.
    Cut my fat intake to half of my daily allowance everyday...which means really committing to making my own lunches.
    Be active daily within my MFP community
    Post my weight every week and be more active with the Pin-Ups!!

    I really find that it helps to keep up on the conversation :flowerforyou:
