LADIESSSSSSSSSSSS! ive missed you all soooo much!


i am sooo sorry i dropped off the face of the planet i had good reason but i am back now and down to business! soooo i will post two challenges for the remainder of this week and looks like its our final challenge next week!!!

Assorted Chocolates Tardy Challenge Weeks 4 and 5

So we all know we have to eat right, drink lots of water and exercise to be fit. But what about our brains?!? we definitely need to shrink our bodies but along with that it seems the hardest thing to shrink is our minds. we can hear ppl tell us how great we look and still see an obese person in the mirror! so the remainder of this week's challenge is twofold!

everyday i want u to share 5 different positive things about yourself with us!
2 have to be physical and body specific whether its i have a pretty face or i have a sexy a** whatever but 2 things everyday have to be about yr physical appearance the other 3 can be about your brain or your booty! whatever u choose!
also, i want everyone to think of a non-food rewards system for when u meet your goals! i know we all have goals so what do we do when we meet them??? whether its a new book or new workout gear or a massage whatever! figure out some things that u can reward yrself with that wont effect yr waistline!

this week negative thoughts and comments are not allowed in order for weight loss to stick we have to change not only the outside but the inside! let's do it chicas!

Assorted Chocolates Final Challenge
Planning, Exercise, Diet, Mindset and Rewards

In the final week of this challenge it's time to balance the things we learned during weeks 1-5 and make this our best week yet! If you know u need to work on planning refer back to week 1, exercise week 2 etc. You know better than anyone what you need to improve on. Maybe you have a bad habit of rewarding your weight loss with food and putting yrself back at square 1. this week make sure u set a goal and reward yrself.

whatever yr struggle even if its something different than what is listed make a plan for correcting or dealing with it and come here and share with us. you may be able to help someone or vice versa!!! dont forget to weigh in and i will announce the winner next week!!

hey ladies - sorry for not updating lately, i've been down with the flu ..not so sure about working out this week..my weight has been all over the place this past week but i feel a bit better now. i can't wait to start on another challenge - i just signed up for biggest loser - are any of u ladies signing up?

[Matilda08]

caliyah Im sorry to hear that your sick I hope you feel better.
Im in so many challenges I cant even name them all! LOL I think I really love the five lb challenges the most they really seem to get me going. I havent weighed in hopefully I will see a loss this friday this month I am going concentrate on doing a cycling class every friday morning its only a half hour but its still tough. I also think Ill stick more to jogging/running this month as well. I like to switch up my routine a little

[CakeBatter]

WI day. Just hoping to be the same. I was the same on Monday but then I went to dinner on Monday evening for my Bday so we shall see......

[caliyah]

Hey ladies..

...so I weighed in today and I unfortunately gained 2 pounds and I'm up to 199 = ( I've been updating my weigh ins for the challenge on the first page and I started off at 206 in the beginning of August when we started the challenge and it taken me all this time to lose 7 lbs and keep it off. (Not like the 2 lbs per week I hoped for...) I've noticed I lose weight in chunks and it just yo yos. Anybody else go through that? t has been a struggle from the start. I'm re-evaluating my eating and my workouts...i just signed up for a gym..i have been running from time to time on a treadmill at home but i think i'm going to kick it up a notch now because I haven't been consistent

[beaka]

Just looked at my original post. I'm up 4 lbs this month. Can we say REALITY CHECK?!?!? I need to get it together.

[caliyah]

you've come a long way Beaka~ it could just be fluctuating before going down again. i'm just focusing now on just staying on plan and i think that helps. are we going to start another challenge ladies?
