Kristen, Well shall I assume that is you name? Everyone as you can see has picked very differnt goals all for the same amount of time. It all depends on your body and how much you think you will or can lose. It also depends on how much you want to push yourself to reach that goal. It is 13 weeks till Turkey day. I picked…

Sorry I thought I posted it in my original thread but opps I forgot! Here is the link. http://www.lazymanandhealth.com/drinking-water-to-lose-weight/ BTW I did get all my water in yesterday.

Hey everyone I started a new thread. Still under movtivation and support. It is the one to post your start weight. If you posted it here already I can get it. Not a problem.

Glad to see some familiar faces and welcome to all the new faces! I have not done so good at the water challenge today. I still have some time though. Also for those of you who might wander why I am on at such odd times. I am in Germany and I am 6 hours ahead of eastern time. So I may not be on much in the evening my time…

Thanks we are glad to have anyone join in!

You were pretty close. It is Christine. Thanks for joining us!

I will probably do something basic like the water challenge first and then we can move into harder challenges. I can let you all pick a challenge everyweek or you all can just start naming some off and I will keep track of them.

ALso for anyone who might be interested I know we are planning on doing 30 day shred but I am in love with Jillian Michales No More Trouble Zone.

Not sure where you ordered yours from but I live overseas and ordered mine from Amazon and got it in like a week. Also not sure what you mean by injured wing but I am sure you can modify the routine to your needs. You usually use 3 lbs weights but can omit that if you need to or do not have them. AlsoIt is circuit training…

OK everyone I am hopping the support of a new group will get me motivated. If anyone wants to join it is under the motivation and support thread and it is called Trim for Turkey Day! Come join us!

Ok everyone thanks for joining in! Even though most of us have put our weight we will use our weight on Thursday as our start weight for this goal. I will put all our info in an excel spreadsheet to keep track of start weight, goal weight and total weight lost (during our group).

Well January 1st I was 220 and on April 14th I was 185. The last 5 lbs from 185-180 took me a little longer cause my husband had gotten home and I yoyo'd a lot back and forth. I officially was was 180 the first time on May 2. Then we went on leave on June18 weighing 180.8 and came back on July 13th weighing 188.4. Since…

Thank you! It is hearing people like you and knowing that I can do this! I have done it in the past and can do it again. There are road blocks in the journey of life and losing weight is no different.

I have done the video several times. It is pretty good especially for a short video. I only do it 3 days a week usually cause I get cardio at the gym 5 times a week and weights 3 times a week. I do not remember in the beginging when she talks if she tells you how many days to do it. I should look and see. I am all for…

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday Airel Happy Birthday to you! Yeah I know it seems like you the lone ranger! I have not found a group for Thanksgiving so I might go ahead and start one. You will be the first to know if I start it!

Hey it seems like we have lost are group. Has anyone joined a new group. I am looking for one with a set goal of Thanksgiving. Anyone want to start a new group and get some better accountability?

I would love to join. How many days are you going to be doing the video?

Hi everyone I am back! Is this the newest thread? I just got back Wednesday from three weeks of vacation in the states. I ate horibble and did not exercise. I am on my period right now but my weight today was 189.8 which is a 9 lb gain. So starting Monday I will get back on track. I need the weekend to recoupe from being…

Where has everyone gone this week?

Well I was cleaning cause I was supposed to fly home today but now I am on the verge of an emotional binge. The only thing stopping me is we threw out all our food since we will be gone over 3 weeks. I would kill for a donut or a pretzel or cookies right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what you mean. I try to watch my carbs but I do not cut them. There are carbs in everything and I am a bit of a carb addict. Hope things are better for you today!

Yes that is the point. I was not trying to be mean or anything. It just seems like you have been struggleing with this and there are many things that are high in calorie that you could add in to your diet to make you reach your calories. I just thought it seemed like you were wanting to eat certain foods and were not…

We have discussed this so many time over the last several months. You really need to eat your calories. I saw in one of your other post's that you wanted some pizza. Well eat the pizza it is not going to kill you unless you eat the whole thing. I am sure it is hard. For me it is hard to stay under my calories. Also I saw…

OK I am here. I am up one pound. I am blaming AF but most likely had to do with my LO's birthday bash and eating horrible all weekend cause I am craving something and can't figure out what. Kacee I am right there with you. I have been yo yoing for 6 weeks now. I have been going between 183 and 179. I get so frustrated. I…

I was down 1 lb this week. Not as much as I would like but hey it is better than nothing. I am so busy so probably wont be back on this week. Next week is my final and this weekend I have my lo's first birthday party with about 40 people and my girl scout troop end of year movie party. I am so busy. I also have some…

I am down 1 lb. I am a go for the water challege, especially with the heat we were having I need to keep up with my water intake! Hey guys or shall I say girls. I am super excited I will be in MD in 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However I am super scared of gaining weight.

Hey our Mister finnaly came back! So how did the challenge at work go? Did you win? How is your wife and your puppy? Pep- Weather in Germany is sunny and has in in the 80's. I am hoping to get a nice tan today! We are going to the Playmobil Fun park and it should be nice cause it is an American Holiday but not a German one…

Water intake really helps. I was slacking before I gave the water challenge. I had been drinking a lot of sweet tea and I was starting to feel different. Now that I have stopped of limit myself to one glass a day I feel much better and had no problem losing that 1 lb I had gained.

OK I am weighing in 1 lbs down. SO I am back where I was since last week I had gained 1 lb due to AF visiting. I like the fruit and veggie challenge. I usually eat more than my alloted but I think so many people do not get enough. It is great cause they fill you up and are pretty low in calories.

100 crunches, ouch I can feel the pain. I am up 1 lb from last week. AF was supposed to get here two days ago so I am guessing it was that and the fact we were out all weekend and didn't eat super healthy. All is well I am just hoping to move the other direction next week.
