Hi everyone, I hope I am not too late to join! My goal is to lose 10 pounds by Valentines Day, might be a big goal but I will try my best to reach it!

It was my first day back to normal and for once I wasn't starving all day long, which is amazing for me! :lol:

And back to my workouts today also and my body is feeling it already, that is what I get for being lazy for a couple of months! :o

Good luck everyone with their Valentines Day goals! :)

Stacey

I'd like to join this challenge too.

My goals:
To lose 6 pounds
To drink more water - at least 6 glasses a day
To exercise at least 4 times a week.

These goals may seem small, but I think I have been... biting off more than I can chew... I feel like I have been trying to do everything right and everything at once, and I just continue to fail. So small goals from now on. I can do this!

well because I started ccing and dieting on the first I feel comfy joining this challenge if you dont mind!!
My goal is to lose 10 lbs by then I think for that being the first weight to come of the may be very doable! So there it is!! now I am excited for V day lol!

Those muffins sound great - i will probably try the lazy way so I will let you know if it works. :)

What did you call them on the Daily Plate so I can look them up? I use TDP too!

rodeogirl, I actually added the muffin as a meal instead of as a recipe. It seemed easier. Sorry.:(

Sooooo tired tonight, but wanted to say HI! :wave: I was back at work today for the first time in over 2 weeks, then had a training session and tucked in my little boys after some playtime. Now I need to tuck myself in even though I want to watch the Ohio State game. Sleep wins out. :)

Another POP day for me. Hoping to see the scale start moving again.

Have a FAB night my friends!

:cloud9:

P.S. - FB, has the espresso worn off yet? Hope you get some sleep. I know that munchy feeling...thankfully mine was gone today.

Monday, January 4th... GREAT SUCCESS!!:jig::bravo::broc::cheer::yes::goodvibes: :dancer::encore:

So I stuck with the game plan all day today, and did really well both with cals and carbs (I'm doing a CC/Atkins hybrid).

The pre-prepared meals that I did last night really made things go smoothly. I think its really going to help me stay on track so that I can do this challenge.

I also exercised today... I was supposed to go to the gym at 6:45am for a spinning class, but that did NOT happen :nono:. Instead I ended up going to my apartment gym in the afternoon... not the caliber of workout that I get when I go to spin class, but better than nothing!

So I'm pretty much happy with today. I would say its a four-star day.

I hope things went well for everyone :grouphug:

And of course, some will power dust to get us through tomorrow (it never hurts!):
:dust:

By Valentine's day :val2:,

Hi I'm new herethis would be my first challenge - My goal is to 1- drink my 8 glasses of water a day! (been really bad about that) and 2- I'm currently 291.1 I'd love to be 280.00 by then!

Welcome everyone! So nice to have so many people participating. We're going to be some fine hot mamas on Valentine's Day!

Barb - the espresso NEVER wears off. I mainline it. :lol: You reminded me to brew another pot! I asked the hubby for a nice professional espresso machine for Valentine's Day. He better put in some overtime. Baby needs her caffeine faster.

The muchies yesterday were awful! I don't know what my deal was. I haven't had one of those days in so long. I gave it my all with weights yesterday - that may have been the culprit. I loaded up on protein, which usually does the trick - but no help.

Yesterday I had a very good day.I kept myself busy moving all day,I even stayed under my limit of 1800.

You can do it, Stacey!

My exercise wagon lost a wheel. I missed my cardio Sunday, then yesterday was just one of those days where it was good I don't own a gun. Miraculously, I've stayed OP with the food AND the water, but the workouts just did not happen the last 2 days. Of course, I went up a pound each day, after not working out. :dizzy:

It's just the usual struggle with getting back to normal after a holiday, which always throws me for a loop. Priorities, that's what I have to focus on, I know. So, I will just keep on till I get back in the groove.

:welcome: to all the new challengers! I'm about 3 pages behind, so I'm not even going to try and catch up post-by-post. I did read them all, though, and it seems like everybody is really putting their all into each day. :grouphug:

:wave: to all my buds. I'd better finish up my 3FC posting and get this day going, so I can check in later!

Must go put all the Christmas decorations and tree away. This could be a month-long job as it's not the kind of thing I want or like to do. :D DH took everything off the tree and I'm sitting in the middle of the mess along with 3 baskets of laundry that needs to be folded. Do you think putting the Christmas stuff away will qualify as a workout???? NO, I didn't think so. Ha, ha.

I'm feeling thinner already since I've been on plan the last 4 or 5 days.

Ok, I really must go and put things away. I'll be back to report on my cleaning "accomplishments" and hopefully workout regime.
