Actually, we are supposed to have a monthly progress thread...gee I am really slacking off this week aren't I? :lol:

I will go and start it now :lol:

Something yummy this way comes
 

Hey everyone

I found something that might help some of you with our summer challenge. :cheer:

My sister found a 1 point (WW) cheesecake. It's called Waist Watchers and comes in a small individual container (portion control :cbg: ). It comes in all kinds of flavours like blueberry, lemon, key-lime, strawberry, choco and not sure what else. These yummy little desserts are availabe at Market Fresh (for us Canadians - or MF exclusive to Ottawa?).

Anyway, check them out. Oh soooo good.

mmmmm...sounds delish :T

Okay summer challenge huh?

Well I said I wanted to jump in with both feet so here is goes.

Current weight: 160.5
Goal by June: 140= ~5pounds per month

Diet= Modified Atkins: I have been completely sugar free for the past 3 weeks. That include chocolate and no starches. I am watching most carbs and attempting to increase my H2O intake upto 64 ounces a day. Trying to cut out diet soda but that is almost as inpossible as coffee.

Exercise= Walking twice a week, situps and some free weights for the upper body. (this is a must be inforced thing-hasn't actually happened yet)

Need to measure but too scared to. :(

Ok so I never did report my intentions, so here they are:

Your current weight: I was somewhere around 181 at the beginning of Jan. Currently 177ish
Your June 5th goal: going to go with not a huge change, just so I don't set myself up for blowing it - 169
Plan that you are following: The don't eat everything not nailed down plan. I just have to learn to eat only when I am hungry. About the only good thing that is coming for my current mental state is I haven't felt like eating much. :lol:
What you will do to reach that goal: See above plan. Try and do some sort of activity at night. From actual yoga or tai chi tapes, to clean the house, or just keep busy with a project so I don't eaat while watching TV.
What you will do when you get to your goal: New clothes, and maybe my tattoo.

Whoo hoo! I have officially lost 4lbs for the summer challenge :cb:

WAY TO GO MAUVROUX! :bravo: I'm still at 192, which is still darn good for me. I went up but got back down again. I'm happily back in to my exercise routine and bought a few healthy food items for the week. Good luck everyone!

had to come poke my head around here to remind myself that i am working torwards something!! lol.. back on track...i can i will do this!!

noodles. glad you are feeling better.

Noodles -it's a tough way to lose weight, but maybe it'll stay off. (Especially if you stop eating the M&Ms now that you are better. :lol: )

I'm trying really hard, trying to walk more and use the stairs. But it's so hard at night since I get home so late. Also, I counted the points wrong on some cookies which I have been chowing down on. Ooopsie on those. Hopefully they wont' show up on the scale next week. :?:

I suck at this challenge! I am basically the same....does anybody have any good video suggestions? I am not losing weight with Taobo. Not enough time, I think. I am moving up to a harder, longer workout, but I think it may be a while before I am able to stick it out all the way, which means even longer until I burn some fat. I need something to do daily, while I work on mastering a more intense Taebo video. Maybe a 4 mile WATP video.

I bought two bellydancing videos if you want to borrow one. Or two. So far I've just watched them while lying in bed eating Bridge Mixture.

Hehe. Glad to see that I'm not alone. I pigged out all weekend and only exercised 3 days last week (my doc said months ago I need to do a minimum of 5 days a week :o ). Argh. I feel like I've gained a ton but if the scales are right I've only gained 1. Gotta step it up this week girls. I'm tired of being out of breath when I bend over to tie my shoes. :dz: I'm tired of my belly jiggling as much as my boobs when I exercise! :lol: And I'm tired of feeling tired! :faint: This week I vow to exercise at least 4 days and to try desperately to cut out sodas (again) and sugar (again). Good luck to everyone. Have a good week. We can do it! ;)
