  • Alright y'all--so this is the temptation challenge week! I know all of us have at some point or another gone off plan and indulged in something we shouldn't while trying to lose weight only to see the scale go up because of too much sodium, too many calories, etc. Then we have to deal with the inevitable feelings of guilt and "was it worth its?". But think how amazing it'll feel to step on the scale knowing you're going to do AWESOME!! So this week, the challenge is to stay PERFECTLY on plan--not a bite or drink of anything you're not supposed to have--and to drink your recommended amount of water EVERY SINGLE DAY! Let's watch the numbers on those scales drop as we are conscience of what we eat and drink this week (planning ahead when necessary ) so we don't sabotage our own selves!! : I know we can do it!! Here's to huge numbers of weight loss this week for the Blue Team!!!
  • I will be out of town this week, but my plan is to stick to the South Beach Diet Phase 1--lots and lots of salads!, and to drink at least 64 ounces of water every day. Good luck everyone!
  • I definitely need this challenge!! I've been within my calories and having at least 800 calories deficit each day, but the scale went up 2.2!!! I didn't make the best food choices last week (even though in my calories), but this week I'm back on track. I'm going to load up on veggies and lean meats. I have been swearing to start SBD, but maybe I'll join Bigsexy and finally do it this week.

    We can do it girls!
  • I am definitely in for this week's challenge!!
  • This is an AWESOME challenge Bigsey!!! I love it!!! thanks so much bigsexy!! ps you look super hot in your avator picture!!

    My plan is to stay below my BMR (basal metabolic rate) of 1800 calories.

    On the days i exercise, I can eat between 1600-1800 calories.

    on the days i am resting. my calorie intake should be 1200-1500 calories.

    I want to lose at least 1 lb this week, so thats a calorie deficient of about 600 calories per day. so either need to burn 600 calories and eat 1800 calories, or eat 600 calories less.

    i'm not well this week. so need a couple of day of rest, so will be careful with my food intake.

    my aim is to drink 2.4 litres of water.

    -------------------------------------
    = means POP
    = when i have a calorie deficient.
    when i drink 2.4 litres.

    water intake and calorie deficient log:

    mon: :

    water intake = 2,040 ml (~2 litres of water)

    calories eaten = 1320 calories.
    calories burned = 342 calories
    calorie deficient = -822 calories
    predicted loss = 0.23 lbs

    tues:

    water intake = 1.8 litres
    calories eaten = 891 calories
    calories burned = 215 calories
    calorie deficient = - 1124 calories
    predicted loss = 0.32 lbs

    weds:

    water intake = 3.7 litres
    calories eaten = 1564
    calories burned = 700
    calorie deficient = -936
    predicted loss = 0.26 lbs

    thurs:

    water intake = 2.1 litres
    calories eaten = 1604
    calories burned = 708
    calorie deficient = -904

    water intake = 2.2 litres
    calories eaten = 1401
    calories burned = 807
    calorie deficient = 1206
    predicted loss = 0.34

    total calorie deficient this week (6 days) = - 6619 calories = predicted loss of 1.89 lbs loss

  • ooo! This is good - I'm going to have to use my Bikram Yoga quote to get through this one; Use your English Bulldog determination and your Bengal Tiger strength.

    I don't have a intense diet plan - I just avoid added sugar, pay attention to amount of sodium, make sure to eat lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, veggies, no fat dairy, etc. I drink mainly water, tea, and coffee! This week's challenge will be good because last week, I had a few too many "junky" snacks... so back to being POP!
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Monday: did not cheat My water intake could have been much better tho...
    Tuesday: no cheating! Drank a bit more water but still could improve...
    Wednesday: ate with no cheating - water not so good today
    Thursday: Ate beautifully - but still struggling on getting that water down but had more than I did Wednesday
    Friday: POP
    Saturday: POP during the day but on my night shift indulged in some snacking... not bad stuff but not particularly good
    Sunday: Thanksgiving! I allowed myself to have some pie
  • Well I already screwed up before I saw this.
  • Well Diva you and I are together to start on plan tomorrow and make it through the rest of the week. I didn't plan my lunch well enough and overate in hunger when I got home...

    Tomorrow is another day!!
