Oprah's 12wk Boot camp??

[r3ngels]

I looks like you are only eating 1000 calories a day....you can't keep that up for long, plus it is not enough for a body that is doing 8 workouts a week! I would add MORE veggies and some dairy (low fat yogurt, cottage cheese). After a month, you can add some whole grains a few times a week, so that helps. Have a sugarfree fudgsicle for dessert - Oprah does!

Love the sugarfree fudgsicles... They are getting me through.

and much luck being wished to you.

I see all the discussion about what were eating and how much. Personally I tried a few different programs and settled for 1200 calories a day and no more than 40 carbs. With most green salad and vegetables as free food. This lets in quite a bit of variety. Still no pasta, rice, potatoes or sugar.

So far so good. Its slow but its coming along.

Thinking of you guys and wishing you well this week!

Cool, I told DH I need more green veggies and I'm adding a protein shake to have after my workout

Monday weigh-in results:
Drumroll please.........







I'm down 2 1/2 pounds after only one week on boot camp

And geez was it a test. I mean I had a great support team with the people on the board and DH . But let me just tell you DD almost got the best of me when she offered to share her chocolate/vanilla sundae with me, but I managed to resist. Later on that same evening after I put DD to bed and I'm sitting at my computer alone since DH was at the firehouse, a Mr. Softy (ice cream truck) came by and stopped right outside my window. Then he gets on the loud speaker and says he's giving away free ice cream.

I mean that right there almost got me. Is there anything better in this world than free. I mean ice cream is great all by itself but free just gives it that extra goodness. Plus it was 10 at night so no kids were outside meaning I could get all the ice cream I wanted, uninteruppted. Well I discovered there was, the feeling of accomplishment after resisting enormous temptation.

Soo, I called DH and told him what was going on, he laughed and told me to close the window and turn up the radio. I did one better, I ignored it. When that truck finally drove away, I felt great!

I'm on my way.

Great job girls!! I actually FORGOT to weigh in today! I can hardly believe that - I used to be on the scale 2 times a day.....now I forget about the scale & focus on how I feel!
I will do my Monday morning weigh-in on Tuesday.......

Great Job Michelle, I thought I was the only one starting late, glad to know I'm not alone.

 

[Spoisal]

OK - here is my Monday morning weigh in on Tuesday
Another 1.5 pounds lost!!! I wasn't expecting that.....I feel great & everything, but I have been HUNGRY! I have raised my calorie level to 1500 (from 1300). I thought that might slow me down, but I am glad I listened to my body!! Honestly, I think the REAL KEY to all of my losses is the exercise. I have not worked out less than 8 times a week - it really makes all of the difference!! WOO HOO!!

I guess im late but it sure looks like it was a good week for us all! I lost another 2lbs this week! And another inch.

Since I started measuring inches Ive noticed the losses have all been in the waist. I really want to loose them else where too! Has anyone elso noticed a pattern like this? I was wondering if since thats where most of my extra fat is stored its the first place to loose. Also Ive only been measuring for 3wks now. Before then I dont know what happened.

Good luck all hope this is another great week for us ALL!!!

I have lost inches, they measure at the gym I go to and I have lost them all over. I wasn't thrilled to lose them, er, " up top". I hope that stops because they don't have a negative cup size do they????????????

I need to weigh myself but I am afraid to.... I haven't gotten back on track since our vacation. I am trying but I lost a little bit of motivation. I am still doing my excercises but the eating....

HHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPPP I need to motivate....

 

[Spoisal]

I was doing an internet search trying to come up with my ideal body weight & found this link....it is interesting & fun to play around with:

http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm

Just thought I would share!

 

[mshrm]

No I dont think they make negative cups but you might find yourself in the teen section buying a training bra!

I dont have that issue and I dont want to loose cup size either but I would sure like to lose the inches in that area not related to bust. I guess I wont be able to have my diet cake and eat it too!

Hope everyone is doing well. I got off track yesterday and had pizza and birthday cake. I went about 100 calories over my limit and a million or so carbs. Back on track today.

Good luck gang! Lori

Monday weigh-in on tuesday. 2lb lost

I'm especially happy cause I messed up over the weekend and had chocolate cake and chocolate milkshake so I just knew that I had gained or not lost anything. but I'm back on track this week.

 

[Spoisal]

I fell off the wagon BIG TIME Saturday night....when I fall off, I just binge - I am so ashamed! It is also my TOM, so i'm feeling extra icky...I was back on track by Sunday, but I don't want to weigh in this week. I know Oprah says to "own your number", but I don't want to! I might weigh in Friday - or wait until Monday, I haven't decided........

 

[FirstTimer]

Ok it's a new week. and I'm another 2lbs lighter oh yeah!

 

[Spoisal]

Great Job, Firsttimer!

 

[mshrm]

Im a little late... but thats cause work has me a little busier than usual.

I have stayed the same weight for the last 2 weeks. I really want to drop 5 more pounds before vacation in 3 weeks. On the good side I have lost another 1 inch on top and another .5 inch in the waist.

Good luck gang, hope your all still at it and doing well.
