CC 4 Week Challenge - Page 3 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

These are my goals and how it's going:

My goals for this challenge are:

1. Eat no more than 1800 calories daily. Yes done great with this usually 1400.
2. Do my Walk DVD at least 5 times a week - 45 minutes. Yes! For the first time in 23 years I've been exercising! Doing the Leslie Sansome DvDs
3. Fit into a certain pair of pants in my closet. I can get them on and button them now but couldn't possibly wear them out. I wore them on Friday to work!

NSV: Avoid all goodies in the teacher's lounge (starting back next week). Been good here as well.

I have lost 19 since July 7. This is very fast I know, but I gained about 20 from Jan to June. I think my nick name should be yo yo.

I'm going to be pushing through this week. I'm 1/2 inch from goal...I checked today even though I said I would wait until the 8th.

Just checking on everyone. How's it going? I was thinking we could do a Halloween Challenge after this one ends on Friday...What do you all think?

Sure, I'm up for whatever. I'm already involved in a Halloween challenge and it seems like it's a motivating holiday!

I've avoided actually counting my calories the past couple days (I'll add it up at the end of the day or will pack a bunch of stuff and list what it is on a piece of paper so that if I want to go back and figure out calories on what I ate I can).....and I've eaten less than i usually do (I haven't been thinking about food as much. Like today, I ate 780 calories from 7am-5pm instead of my usual 1,000-1,100) and losing the same, if not a little more weight. I love the freedom (although I know it can get me into BIG trouble) so thought I'd do this off and on as long as I know it's not causing me to eat more or the weightloss to stall.

4)don't let negative self-talk influence my thoughts ( getting better)

NSV-focus on my work pants getting loose and more comfortable

Good Morning,

I've been MIA from this challenge so far. Lots of things going on here but life has slowed down considerable this past week so I shouldn't have a hard time at all checking in now

I too wouldn't mind a Halloween Challenge, sounds great. Congratulations on everyone's weight loss so far. thats awesome

Great! Is this four weeks over already? Time flies.

jigglefree · 09-09-2013, 05:26 AM

This has been a great four weeks. Now it's time to head into the fall. This challenge is officially closed. I missed my goal by a fourth an inch. But I made some progress.
