~DISappearing PEEPS~Vol. IV Come Play With Us!!!!!

Forgot something else! For those who count calories...
Is my goal to hit right at my net with 0 left, or is my goal to stay under my net in order to lose weight?
I'm going to take for example today. My goal was 1340, my food came to 1623 (estimating dinner), exercise was 357, and my net is 1266 now. Am I wanting to get my net at 1340 or trying to get it lower? This is probably really simple and obvious, but I'd rather be certain.

Thanks, I hope you are all having a good day!

Your minimum is to take in 1340. If you burn off some of that with exercise, that's fine to hit below it, just as long as you take in at least that much. That's to make sure you get the minimum of nutrients you need for good health.

Ugh I gained 0.4 pounds I did a mini weigh in today I am hoping by friday for some miracle.

My goal is to lose 5 pounds a month and right now I lost 4. We shall see

- 1.8 this week. So since I started 3 weeks ago I am down a total of 5.5. I can live with that...there is just so far to go. Sigh!

I am a samer this week.... At least I did not gain anything.

Awesome! You can do it!!!

Weight can change so much in a day, though. I lost 1 pound between yesterday afternoon and this morning. Of course I always weigh less in the mornings but still...

I am a samer this week.... At least I did not gain anything.

That's awesome considering you're not able to exercise right now!

I lost -1 pound today. I'm happy with that, especially considering that means I broke 150 pounds (now weighing 149.4). Last week was only -.4 pound and this week I wasn't able to use the gym b/c they're installing new floors. I did do Zumba on Wednesday but that's been it this week. I got 2 new workout DVDs in the mail yesterday - a 30-minute ab workout (15 minutes of floor work and 15 minutes of standing ab work...you can break it into 2 workouts if you want) and 3 30-minute butt/thigh workouts by Jillian Michaels.

Lauren - I filled out the questions on the Tracy Anderson website but I never got an email from the site about the program. I may try to do it again....I wonder if it went to junk mail?

Good luck everyone!

I am down -0.2 pounds not alot at all. I am super super sore all week. I started level 7 on tracy anderson program and it's super tough and I feel it. Some levels are harder than others.

Dawn - I would check your spam. and maybe take the quiz again. I currently do omnicentric based on the results of the quiz I do not tend to gain weigh in a specific region. If you are looking for more lower body I would think you are hipcentric based on the areas you said you would like to work out more. Regardless of the centric you pick it still works the entire body. It's usually about 5 mins of arms, 5 mins of abs and then 20 minutes of lower body (10 minutes per leg) for a full half hour.

I'm -5.2 lbs! That's the good news. The bad news is most of it probably came from the fact that I think I got food poisoning. I got Chipotle for dinner last night and almost immediately felt nauseous and have been up sick pretty much all night. I have a fever and my body aches but I've luckily stopped throwing up. I don't foresee any solid food in my near future and I'm just now starting to keep water and diet coke down (all I have). Hoping to keep feeling a little better so I can go get some Gatorade and coke or sprite. My boss is ticked tame because we are so busy right now...like I did it on purpose. I felt so bad last night I thought I might need to go to the hospital.

Anyway, congrats to all the losers!

Well it sounds like you are working hard, and losing some weight so I think it is great.

Remember that that soreness means your muscles have more lactic acid in them right now, which is sort of like water weight.

I think I was glutecentric, which makes sense - my butt and thighs are the first things that gain weight! My stomach is actually the last thing that acquires weight but it's just not as firm as it used to be b/c of having Seth. Don't get me wrong - I'm VERY thankful for no stretch marks and not having a ton of work to do in that area. But my tummy was something I never worried about before and now it's just not firm - I want to get it that way again!

Thanks for the link - I'll take the quiz again and then check my spam.

Even if you get glucentric its still an overall body workout. The moves are different than lunges etc. It's more pulses etc. and the arms and standing abs are a littel confusing at first they really make a difference.
you can you tube tracy anderson and a bunch of videos come up you can even try some before you buy

Feel better Shannon!

 

[dwheatl]

Shannon - So sorry to hear about the food poisoning. I got that last year at Maggiano's, and it was brutal. Hope you feel better soon.

I'm Down .6 this week. Slow but steady again. I was doing well with exercise early in the week, but have a cold now, so I'm taking it easy. Congrats to all the losers and samers, and good losing to all in the coming week.

I hope you feel better food poisoning is the worst

 

[Wonders10]

Thanks everybody! I'm finally feeling among the living again. I was able to keep some toast down so I took some Advil for my fever and body aches and I slept for like 10 hours! My chest hurts, I think from heaving (sorry, tmi) and I'm worried I aspirated some of it because now I have a bronchitis sounding cough. I just can't seem to catch a break and my job isn't conducive to dr visits and time off, so frustrating.

 

[LittleBoPeep]

Dropping in quickly to report in. I'm down .8 this week. Not as well as I hoped, but still in the right direction.

Wonders10 - hope your feeling better soon!

Hope you are all having a good weekend. I just joined the biggest loser challenge so I have started weighing Friday's now. However, I had lost .4lbs since Monday when I weighed yesterday!

Very proud of myself tonight. 3rd day of running for my half-marathon training. I ran for a total of 1.7 miles! I got 2 miles in at 26:40!! And tonight I was really dreading it because I felt like I was so heavy. However, I think I take too big of steps and bounce too much. Tonight, I ran in shorter strides and kind of...glided my way through it and was able to run almost the entire 2 miles. I also felt like I could breathe a lot easier this way too.

And now tomorrow, I must get up and do it all over again! I have been crosstraining as well, mostly boxing and weight lifting. I am pretty excited for my rest day on Monday!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
