[dabute]

I'm down 3.4 pounds. Putting me at 7.6/21

 

[DreamBeliever]

I lost 1 more pound ~ I'm now at 3/20. I better get more serious about my weight loss if I expect to reach my goal

 

[luvmy2sams]

I've been up and down since the beginning of this challenge and ended up practically throwing in the towel. I'm back where I started at 0/25, but I plan on reporting a loss this time next week!

Keep up the good work everyone!

 

[Jaime]

Hi...I have 1.5/14.5 gone now! slow going but going!

Best wishes and lots of pixie dust to everyone!

 

[mikamah]

I am down 2.4 this week, bringing me to 5.4/12 for this challenge. (I don't think my loss got changed last week) I've finally been sticking to ww the past 2 weeks, and hope to continue. I hadn't made a challenge goal in months, so maybe this will be the one.

Congrats Dabut, Jaime and Dreambeliever!!!!!

luvmy2sams- Awesome attitude!!! You can do this, we all can so long as we don't stop trying.

kamgen- Today is a new day, and you will do great on nutrisystem!!!! Good luck!!

Have a wonderful week.

 

[tiggerlover]

Weighed in tonight and lost 1.8 of what I gained at Disney. I think my calculations were off for the last time because at my current weight tonight I am now 0/2.2 for this challenge. Since I skipped posting a weigh in my figures were off, so now I am back to my starting point.

Kamy! I think you missed my last update on the week 2 thread as I need to have mine changed to 0/2.2. After weigh in this Thursday I hope to post on the positive side. Sorry to hear you didn't have a good week, hoping this weeks is a better one for you.

dabute, WOW, that is a great one week loss. Congrats!

DreamBeliever, Mikamah and Jamie.....great work! Keep it up (or should I say down....lol).

luvmy2sams, we are in the same boat, hopefully we both have something good to report soon.

Onward and downward we go! Keep on moving forward!

 

[denecarter]

Lost track of which weeks I posted and didn't post... so getting me up to date, I've lost a total of 16/25 on the challenge

 

[catherine]

I lost 2lbs thia week. That now puts me at 15/20 for this challenge.

Hope that everyone has a good week! ***** Onward and downward!

 

[donac]

I haven't weigh in for the last couple of weeks so I got on the scale this morning.

I have lost 5 pounds since this challenge started.

Good luck to everyone else.

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

ACKKK, I actually gained a pound! So I am up .2 from the start. I decided to try something new and I am doing the Core plan from WW. I will think positive and KNOW that I will report a loss for next week!

 

[tiggerlover]

{{{{VIJA}}}} I hate it when the scale goes up. Here's hoping that core works for you. I have to admit I am curious about core, you will have to let us know how it goes.

dene, catherine and donac, congrats on your losses to date.

Thanks for the fix, Kamy!

Hey everyone,
So last week wasn't good either. Not sure why I'm having such a hard time getting going. So far I've been doing wonderful since Monday.

Here are my commitments for the week.

1. I went to WW's on Tuesday and WI. I will go each week, no excuses to WI. I will show a loss next Tuesday.

2. I will drink at least 6 glasses of water each day.

3. I will plan my day's food each day. I will journal each day. I will stick to my plan.

4. I will check in with this thread daily!

5. I will do some kind of exercise each day (whether it's walking or doing yoga). I will work on getting my weight lifting back into control.

6. I will do 5 big girl push ups each day.


Have a happy healthy Thursday everyone.

well melanie, i'm copy-catting your numbers 2 - 5

i had a quick overnighter trip Tues-Wed with Mom, our annual trip for the Vera Bradley outlet sale. does sorting purses and accessories count as exercise? i guess technically yesterday was my day off

sitting in the car in my jeans was a big wake-up call for me -- i didn't WI after the cruise but i'm sure i have more like 12 - 15 lbs to lose overall. it won't happen in this challenge and i'll still with my 7 lbs to go, but i gotta WI someday! i'm DREADING the WI b/c i know the number is high!

GREAT JOB to everyone that has lost in the challenge --- i need to hear your motivation and mojo -- puhleaze i need to hear it!!

today my goal is water, stay on food plan and keep moving all day getting my house/life back in order!

 

[MelanieC]

Today I'm going strong - I will do this, I have no choice. I'm down to the wire before my summer trips. If I don't do this, I won't have any clothes to wear. Even my baggy shorts are tight, lol! I also refuse to buy bigger clothes.

My goals for the day -
#1 Water - working on cup 3 now.
#2 -Plan - Smoothie for breakfast (5.5 pts), dry kashi cereal for snack split between lunch & dinner(2 pts), Lean Cuisine (7pts), Kashi Go Lean Crunch for dinner - DS has baseball & guitar tonight (4.5), Starbucks Popcicle (2 pts) = 21 for day
#3- Thread check in - DONE will check in tonight too!
#4- Walking at lunch for 45 min - 1 hour
#5 - 5 Big Girl Push ups - Did 5 last night will do my 5 for today tonight.

 

[MelanieC]

#3- Thread check in - Check , Check
#4- 40 minutes walking at lunch -Check

[crystalcml]

Tonight's check in

#1 - 6 glasses of water (and I'm still thirsty -so I'll have another one in a bit)

#2- Food plan - dipped into my flex points, but that's good. I totally believe you should eat as many points as you can!! Breakfast - Kashi Go Lean Cruch Almond Flax, milk (4.5 points), lunch Lean Cusine (6 points), snack crackers (4 points), hummus (1point), Yogurt (3.5 points), Dinner - 2 slices mushroom/spinach pizza (14 points), Snack - Starbucks Frappucino popcicle (2pts) = 36 points!
Sounds like a lot, but I still have 13.5 flex points left for the week and my week ends Sunday.

#3- Thread Check in - Check

#4- Didn't get to walk today. Today will be considered a rest day. Went to Whole foods for lunch, this does help my diet though because it gets healthy foods into the house.

#5- Push ups - 2 sets of 10, sit ups 50, side leg lifts (standing) 30 each leg



I hope everyone is having a good week. Overall my day went really well. I would have liked to eat 1 less pizza and not have the popcicle since I wasn't really "that hungry" at that point.

Also I walked 3 bags of groceries from the parking lot at work across the campus and up 4 flights of stairs and the same at the end of the day.

I'm really trying to work on getting as much unintentional exercise. I park on the 3rd floor of the parking garage (we do have 4 floors, but since that is on the roof the car stays cooler on the 3rd floor. I've been making sure I don't walk in a path that would take me by the elevators (and even when I have I have been choosing the stair) and trying to find reasons to walk the stairs.
