I'm busy working on our chart but I just had to write that WE LOST 93.3 lbs as a group this week!!! Great going!!!
Kristen
WOW! WTG to all the great losers this week...that is fantastic! Very motivating!
Kristen, the chart looks terrific! Thanks for doing this again, I think it makes a huge difference in all our weight loss efforts...I know it does mine. It keeps me interested and it feels like I am having fun instead of some chore I don't like.
Cheers everyone, Carole

For a challenge for this week, how about making sure you are hitting 30 grams of fiber per day? I know it keeps me regular. :laugh:
kcthatsme will assign one or two of this weeks biggest losers to select the challenges for the week when she puts up the chart. Although, to be honest, I for one can use more fiber in my diet most days! LOL
May I get my fiber from carrot cake?
oooo carrot cake. I have a friend that makes the most wonderful carrot cake. We make her bring it to all parties. I had to stay outside at the last one so I won''t be tempted. I couldn't even kid myself with the 'carrots are vegetables' argument. I grew up with that one. My dad is the best at rationalizing pumpkin pie for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving.

Only if I can get mine from potato chips! (potatos are vegetables, right?). Can't be any worse than pizza being classed as a vegetable! LOL0 -
Great job everyone! Thanks again Kristin for all you do. Motivated to have a much better week this week!!0

Congratulations to the biggest losers. You are all amazing and will keep the rest of us in line this week.0
-
Congratulations to all of the biggest losers! Love, love, love being a part of this challenge.
Today was a tough day for various reasons. Fought against emotional eating, stayed under calorie goal, and completed I-Fit workout with Jillian Michaels yelling at me from my treadmill. LOL
I want to continue to see a loss each week. This is so much fun!0 -
Kristen - WoW! You are amazing! Another fabulous chart. Thank you for all you put into this group :0)
So, after reading all the posts, I decided I needed to get my booty moving! (@bcdpearce - I had to laugh about the TOM convention - my ticket arrived this afternoon! I had this happen with college roommates - but with an online group...LOL)
So, I digress - I was moving my booty, I believe - so I went for a walk at lunch @ work today, then 30 day shred before dinner... and my C25K app in the evening.
I apologize for the length of this upcoming post (I can't always do this, so I found some time tonight & thought I'd take advantage of it)...
To all the peeps who lost, triumphed over 4th of July parties & picnics - Congratulations!!! :(GMBrad, Cathyl3, cuddlebug12, ladytinkerbell, ksraider, kraz4fun, cmm7303, redbird99, vmahurin, adm88, rosiebug, darzinger, shamrockit, sweetiemimila, delondal, malsponseller, jknottage, milismalley, sallycc, poggy18, kasandrakristine, amcjunkin, mekosimba, salingsal, sharifan, jscjen, mandmommy3, mnomics, kathpearce, amazon75, 25danlow, tatyanne, tarnold2012, wallvr, dymondiva, 7bel0, maxylicious (and some below)... I'm talking to you!! THANK YOU for being so inspiring & showing that despite the temptations & crazy schedules.... it CAN be done!!!
"inch takers" - who are going to check their inches @ mini-goal time - great idea!
ALICIALUCAS - sorry you had a bad week! Love that C25K program! (it's my 2nd go at it since an ankle injury sidelined my last attempt).... We will be victorious!
ROCKYMTNJHAWK - prayers for your DD, condolences on the loss of your friend. I'm with you on the workload - it is tough! Hope all goes well tomorrow & that things head in a better direction here forward
BCDPEARCE - so glad your dad is home - great job this week!

DTERMINED - so this was not your week... but ... you are here, logging in where many have turned tail & given up. Yay for you for moving forward toward your goals!!
SHIRLEY - hope being back from vacation will help you get your focus back. It's so tricky when our schedule gets all goofed up & our "go to" safe food/exercise routines are not accessible
VIVIAN - hope the binges & sleep disruption stay left in last week
JEWCEYBABE - sounds like a tough week - but given your amazing track record, I know you've got this!!
SRPM - good work making better sushi choices!
PURPLE COOKIE sorry to hear your scale has lost it's mind! I had that happen & bought a new one at Target. I coudn't take the inconsistent numbers anymore.
TRIMFORMECMB - you are more than halfway to your goal! Great work!
AUDRINE - love your goal to get back to the gym!
JGUNN81 - not the best week, but sounds like you have regrouped & are moving forward toward Biggest Loser status!
GINAQUINN2, CAROLEMACK & KVONJOHN - for plateaus, I have upped my cardio - tried a completely new workout routine, tried to stick with "whole grain" choices for my carb intake & upped protein. Hope you can all bust thru these very frustrating numbers - keep on putting in the work, and the results will follow! you've got this!
THINMEFAST - I've had the same thing happen for weigh ins. Last challenge, I swear Monday AM was my highest weight of the entire week every time!
RAINAS25 - cheering you on for your quick bounce back!
REALLYALLY1 - hope that the return to the gym gets you the results you are looking for!
(TO BE CONTINUED - I have a bad habit of hitting some keys accidentally & wiping out entire posts - I think I would lose it if that happened!).....
Hugs, Amy0 -
So my husband didn't get home until after 7 tonight and of course by then I'm tired from the day and just not in the mood to go to the gym anymore, especially when I don't have a gym buddy to motivate me and keep me accountable. But luckily for me, I found a whole bunch of inspirational phrases in the forums this morning (my profile pic is one of them) and my former gym buddy is just a few hours North of me in Fort Sill so with her help, I talked myself into going to the gym because the only person I'm punishing by not going is myself. Nothing is going to change unless I MAKE it change. So I did W5 D2 of C25K today and did two separate 8 minute jogs and I feel damn good about it. Now I just fear the TWENTY MINUTE jog the program wants me to do on Wednesday. EEP! But I am strong and I will power through.0

If you have set that as a goal, it's never too ambitious. Just do it.Thinking that my 'goal' weight is slightly ambitious! Have been doing all the right things and my body shape is definitely changing but the scale didn't change as much as I expected. Hey ho You are doing awesome. So many people say my body shape is looking so different, but the scale is teetering. Just keep it up, don't pay attention to the numbers just yet. 0 -

Great job reaching out for support & wonderful attitude!!!0 -
What an impressive start as a group. Congrats to those with lower weights and to those who've maintained. For those in the group with me who've had a slight setback let's keep motivated and know that one weigh in won't break us. One week at a time!:bigsmile:0
-
Congrats everybody ... you all did a great job ... I am so surprised that I didn't gain as was my birthday and so was over indulging for a couple of days ... although I did do a 6km mud run so that probably helped make up for it ... back into the hard slog this week though.
Have a good week everybody
:flowerforyou:0 -
I am so proud of everyone. Let's stay motivated and supporting one another. 93.3 lbs lost as a group is amazing. I took my water up from around 12 glasses a day to 18-20 glasses a day. I didn't get as much exercise as I wanted this past week, but this 2nd week will definitely be better. Once again so proud of us, and let's keep it up. 0

I guess if I was going to have a bad eating day, today was the day to do it. UGH!! I seem to do just great until dinner time.. then I feel like I want to eat all night long. If only I could go to bed at 5:00 PM!
Trying to keep a positive attitude and tell myself that if I do well Tuesday through Sunday, I WILL be rewarded come Monday morning! Yes, that's what I'm going to repeat to myself all week long. This challenge is going to be a great one, I can just tell. So many participants, so many talkers, and such an awesome chart! Thanks, Kristen!
Hoping everyone has a terrific Tuesday!! And to my fellow challenge participants that might have blown it today, let's get on the program tomorrow and make it a great day!0 -
Just want to say congratulations to the entire group on the 93lbs lost altogether. a big shout out to this weeks biggest losers... Well deserved. You are all doing amazing!! To the ones who have gained weight, ONE day at a time. We got this and we are all here for you. Thanks to Kristen for her amazing work with the challenge and the great chart!!
Keep up the great work everyone!!
Hugs to everyone.. Double hugs to everyone who is dealing with so much additional stress... Sorry I couldn't find a pen to write down your names!!0 -

Congrats Shamrockit and Ladytinkerbell99!!!! Great job being the biggest losers, throw up a good challenge, we are ready for it 0

Hope everyone has a great week. I appreciate this group and all who are participating in it.
Last week, I prelogged my meals (just one at a time), and this really helped me to know when to make adjustments _before_ I ate rather than being surprised or bummed _after_ my meal. Does anyone else find this helpful?
I'd love to hear about your little and big strategies that help keep you on track and resilient, everyone. I'm sure I have a lot to learn.
p.s. Thanks, Kristen, for organizing all the data for us. 0 -
Thanks for the chart. Love the huge weight losses from the biggest losers, well done and so motivating.0

What a great idea! I am a natural planner so it shocks me that I haven't actually done this yet. Will give a try and see how it works for me.
Thanks for the tip!0 -
I wanted to say a big CONGRATS to all that had a loss this week and to all those still pushing through and sticking with the challenge with a great attitude. Almost 100lbs lost in a week is amazing, we will surely exceed the amount we lost in the last challenge if we keep up this pace.
This week is my first week of Level 3 of 30 Day Shred, I skipped my last 2 days of level 2 last week. I am going to finish this program out strong. I've already gotten stronger as I started doing the traveling push ups yesterday on my toes and not my knees, without even realizing it.
Good luck to everyone this week!0 -
Have a great day everybody drink up on water : )0

This is awesome! Way to go everyoneI'm busy working on our chart but I just had to write that WE LOST 93.3 lbs as a group this week!!! Great going!!!

@mandamommy3-
I finished level 2 before I went on vacation last week and can't decide if I should go for level 3 or start over again. Good job pushing through. So many people say how amazing they feel once they finish. I have to get there!0 -
Great job everyone! Let's keep up the hard work!0
-
I am impressed with the group's loss of almost 94 pounds! I know we will keep it up. I finally lost more than just a fraction of a pound in a week! I plan on increasing my exercise this week to hopefully see this trend continue!
Congratulations to everyone who lost, stayed the same, or kept a positive attitude even if the scale went up a little. Just remember - every day is a new beginning - really! Keep strong, remain positive, keep reaching for your goals! We can do it!0 -
CONGRATULATIONS !! to all the losers and soon to be losers. :bigsmile:
AmyByExample:
Thanks for the kind words, I just have to start saying no or keeping my
fingers out of the appetizers. Our regular meals are pretty healthy but the snacks are
the killer. Its a long summer for me to try and lose weight. I will make some changes
again. I started Pilates classes this month so I hope that helps.
Good Luck everyone on your next week's weigh in.
