Chicks up for a Challenge - 5 pound challenge #84

hey ladies, dont go to the 5 pound challenge in the 20 somethings thread.

I am new to this so I wasn't sure. Thank You jasonslea.

I was at at 178lbs and came down to 171 today.

I am starting another challenge. I want to lose another 5 pounds yeah!

So please someone correct me if I am wrong-- my challenge will be to lose 5 lbs from 171 or since I lost 7 lbs from 178 -- my challenge is to be 5lbs less than 173.

Which is it??

I will definitely try to challenge myself to do 5 lbs from 171. But just making sure.

When you weighed in day, it was 171, right? Then your challenge is to lose 5 lbs from that, 166.

Hi All
165 cw
160 gw:dizzy:

Hello ladies... I would love to join the 5 lb challenge. I weighed in at 136 this morning so my goal will be 131.

Current weight: 226
Mini-goal : 221

goal: 155

& will start exercising this week.

Sure, I'll join this!

I weighed in at 144 yesterday so my new goal will be... 139.

Is there a specific timeframe people aim to lose 5 pounds in? I'm new to these "5 pound challenge" threads.

I wanna join too!

Well, to those who are new, we post our current weight when a new challenge starts as our starting weight (not our weight at the start of our weight loss journey) (Starting Weight=SW), then we post along the way to update how we're doing (Current Weight=CW), and we post our mini-goal weight which would be 5 pounds less than your weight at the start of this specific 5# challenge (Goal weight=GW). Good luck and have fun!

My post-TOM week is almost always my best shot at a quick loss (in order to win one of these 5# challenges). To be honest, I plan on making it to GOAL sometime in mid-November and then trying to hold there through Thanksgiving and the end of November. (Then decide if that's where I want to stay.) So, like others have said before, I just love seeing my challenge goal weight going down, down, down even if I never win one.

Hey everyone, I'd like to join too, 5 lbs would put me close to being back in the 150's where I desperately want to be!

CW: 140.0
GW: 135.6

I've managed to stay the exact same which I'm hoping is because I did extra strength training yesterday. So, tomorrow should show a drop since I've been POP. Now cooperate, body!!

Hey there MsP. I gotta question.....why does my weight stay the same even though I am almost POP and working out with 500+ cal cardio burns at the gym? Could it be all the weights and my body holding fluid and trying to figure out what to do? It is very frustrating not to see any movement in the scale for days on end.....except in the up direction at times. The better the workout the higher the scale.

Congrats on almost goal. Like I said before, it is so close for you even I can taste it. :)

Love to the peeps!!!

jellofer-Check your cal intake. It may be too LOW or too HIGH. Either way can really slow you down. Also, water is a biggie. Are you drinking at least 1/2 your weight in oz. of water? (Ex: I weigh 140, I should drink AT LEAST 70 oz water daily.) Our bodies are complicated things, so I can't say with certaintly, but there seem to always be a few main things. Are your calories mostly coming from fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean protein? Are you taking in a lot of sodium? Or sometimes the body just wants a change...different exercises or routines. Hope I've helped a little, but if not just experiment with stuff. I know I've done that a bunch when I've hit plateaus or progress has really slowed. I'm not a fast loser to start with, so I don't need anything slowing me down! LOL Enjoy the journey!

Jumping in a little late. I got distracted and haven't been weighing myself and it shows.

Already on page 3 ladies :lol: My weight has just been bouncing around everywhere...So out of the three times I stepped on the scale today I will go with the highest and just hope for the best tomorrow.....I will only weigh in once though :eek:

SW 213
GW 208 I just want to get into a new decade

Thanks MsP. I drink about 4 liters of water per day. Which is about 128 oz. of water. I also don't count what I take in during my workouts. I have been doing low carb, high pro and so only been counting protein grams and carbs. Most of my calories come from protein.

As far as the workouts go, I have dramatically increased the intensity and the duration. So am wondering if that is not helping. I know that muscle wieghs more than fat.....but it dawned on me in class that as we increase our physical activity we are also increasing the weight of our bones. I had a small bit of whole grain pita bread with my salad today. It was tasty. We shall see. I can really start to see muscle definition in my body....so that is good. I am sleeping better, and my clothes are continuing to get bigger. I really shouldn't complain, but It would be nice for the scale to cooperate once in a while.

No true workout scheduled for today. I have my first therapy session for my hip and back today. So That will give my body time to relax and readjust. Maybe that will help. I will try to increase the water abit and see if that helps. Thanks for the support.

I'm curious...what does drinking water do to help with weight loss? I know it's good to drink water, and healthy. But are there other reasons?

Oh, I'm going to jump in this challenge.

saramommy-The water is to help your body work properly. Since every organ in your body passes things in and out through fluid, it allows those organs to work properly/more efficiently. Along that same line, you need it to stay regular so your waste (solid and liquid) can pass through your digestive system and be expelled properly. Also, dehydration/not enough water makes your body think you have lack of water supply, so it'll hold on to what you have and you'll have water retention. It's the perfect fluid for the body for those and other reasons. Hope that sheds some light (and wasn't too gross...I come from a medical family ;))!

every little bit helps.

For those asking, whoever reaches their 5# loss mini-goal first (from their start weight for this challenge) wins! No time constraints, just the first to reach 5# loss from the beginning of this challenge. We re-post a new start weight each time we join a new 5# challenge, so there's usually a different winner every time which is fun. Hope you enjoy!

Well, no big drop today. In fact, I went up a touch. I almost certainly won't weigh-in tomorrow due to today's meal choices. Lori, you are so right! Homemade pizza is yummy! (How do you make yours?) The pizza at the pizza place wasn't that special, but they have some other yummy stuff that I enjoy. To tell you the truth, it's the fried shrimp and desserts! Shhhh...that's my little secret. It's a very rare treat, but you can't admit to eating that stuff on the weight loss message boards! LOL

The last couple days have been really rejuvenating for me. I just feel refocused and ready to finish this thing. I bought myself some more time on here though since I bounced up a couple pounds, but some of it is certainly water since my rings are tighter and I did a really nice ST'ing session yesterday. I plan to be back to my previous low in 2 days. If not, my body will regret messing with me! LOL

Back down to where I was last week. Happy to get those Halloween cheats off. Blech, sure the cookies tasted great at the time....but getting on the scale and seeing the numbers move in the wrong direction was horrible. Still hoping to be 200 by Thanksgiving.

Lori-By "regular dough" do you mean like baking mix or do you actually use pizza dough mix? I've taken a liking to making pita pizzas (using a non-pocket pita as the crust). They're super yummy and easy and can definitely fit into your cals for the day! Thanks for the info. We have a save-a-lot here too!

Still up from halloween & my dd's b-day.....Not sure on weigh though didn't get a chance to step on the scale. Gives me another day to be on plan.

Msp- We have a awesome pizza place here ...They make it like homemade but it's super high in calories. So yummmy... If the world didn't have pizza and chocolate staying on plan would never be a problem for me:lol:

Lori- Guess what????... I found a save a lot close to Dh's work today by accident. I took a different way home and there it was. Way easier to get into then the one closer to the house. Now your homemade pizza will so be on our family's menu :D

When i buy The giovanna's For my family we usually order 2 Large and its about 35.00 Or so And 2 of the homemade near the same size cost about About 6.50 And you have plenty left to make a couple of more!!!
I always use non stick spray on my pan too.(I figure most people do that ~but just incase not I wanted to mention it)

Here is my today's weigh in. I am not sure how many often you all weigh, but I have been recording everyday at same time (first thing in morning). And I have noticed it fluctuates a lot. For example: I was 143 one day, next day 144, then 141 and then back to 143. But still thinking as long as I see lower digits more often - I am good to go.

Does this happen to any of you???

By the way, how do you add Signature (the ticker) to your posts. I tried setting, I dont see where I can paste the code for ticker.

Hi Everyone! :wave:
I'm back! I faced the scale today and adjusted my ticker up a lil over 4 pounds. It's been a rough few months. I'm ready to get my groove back and I know this is a great place to do it!

Looking forward to catching up with all you lovelies! ;)

MsP OOOHHH!!!! so close to goal. I am so excited to be able to share this with you. You have been so supportive of me and all of my things! I know you can do it sister peep!!!! What a sense of accomplishment you most be feeling.

BarbPA Nice to see you again.

Lori259 All I have to say is this, TOM sucks!!! He is messing with me big time. Wanted me to eat chicken mcnuggets tonight. I told him NO!!! That saved me about 1000mg of sodium! Hurrah!!! He is driving me crazy. HOping for a big whoosh tomorrow..... 244????? Is it in my future???

Just an update, the scale moved a little this morning, but I am pretty sure it will be back up tomorrow. Doing Low Carb (kinda modified) and went to Chiptole (splurge cause I was in the city, doesnt happen very often) and got a bol, was trying to stay away from the tortilla when I bit into it realized they put rice in the bol too. So kinda messed up there. BUT will be back on track tomorrow morning.

Good Luck Ladies I think some people are getting close!!! :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

Yesterday was a bad day for me. I had to be out for almost 4 hrs...i made sure I had lunch at home so I wouldn't get hungry, but I guess it was light lunch or so. I stopped at a mexican place with my DH. Ate lots of chips & Salsa...also had rice...loved it but later regreted it. Oh well...just have to get up again & get running.

I have a medical treatment coming up in Feb - need to get back to 125 by then...125 seems unreachable.

Scale stayed the same for me today. I'm OP and feeling great, but my muscles are still achy from Thursday's workout, so I'm guessing my muscles are holding on to some water or something. No worries..should be down tomorrow.

Hmm up a bit today from Friday. Think I've not walked enough, and the japanese takeaway on Friday night was probably saltier and more calorific than I thought. Oh well, it's nice and not rainy today so great day to go for a nice long walk to burn those extra calories :)

Haven't posted in a bit. I got off track and gained 7 pounds in water weight (I'm sure it was water weight because once I started eating healthy again it all came off in a matter of days). Got on the scale this morning and thank GOD it is gone!! No more getting off track for me!! Need to update my tickers.....

Your doing super Ms. perception!!!

I didn't weigh in today ~So I will report in tommorrow...Hopefully with some good results.LOL

Wow, Ms. Perception!

This was the first time in months that I was happy with the results of the scale. Four lbs since yesterday! I've been finding it very hard to get started so I told myself to "just" get through the one day and don't worry about the next.

I am 1 lb up from yesterday. I know why - had bad food & no exercise. I was so lazy yesterday - didn't move much. But needed it to start the busy week. Hopefully, this week, i will get to 140 :).
