One Week Challenge
Ok I have fallen off the wagon, hard! I know calorie counting works, its the only thing that has but if I stop counting for a while then I have the hardest time bringing myself back in line.
I wanted to know if anyone would be willing to just do a challenge for this week, checking in everyday with yesterday's calories and any exercise done. I have the summer to get myself in line before I start an intense program at my college in the fall (I am a mom going back to school). Also I will be in front of people often since my job is in the public eye so I really want to get myself into good shape as well as healthy. So for this week my challenge to myself is simply to count the calories and write down my exercise, if you specifically have a goal you wish to meet for amount of calories eaten then feel free to put that down too. My Goal: Track Calories (amount doesn't matter) and exercise at least 3 times this week. Feel free to post your calories here and help keep me accountable so I can build up my habit again! |
I'd love to! I'm hoping to lose 2lb this week (no change for the last week cause of "that time") so I could use some encouragement too! :)

Awesome!

I'd like to give this a shot, I was totally good yesterday and consumed 1210 calories.
I've been 3 pounds from my goal weight since the end of May, and I would love to knock off another pound (or 2) before June is over. I wish I could say that I'm on a plateau, but I can't because I have not been staying on plan very well on the weekends. Basically I've been wiping out all my weekday hard work by over doing it on Sunday....gurrr. I guess you could say I've been in maintaince mode before I've reached my goal. I think if I could make it an entire week by staying 100% on plan. (1200 weekdays/ 1500 weekends) I could put a small dent in the final 3... :) ( I really want to lose 8...but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it!) Monday: 1210 Tuesday: 1205 Wednesday: 1300 Thursday: 1190 Friday: 2500 (oops) Saturday: 1190 Sunday: 1180 Average calories for the week = approx. 1400/day Going to try it again. Monday: 1190 Tuesday: 1210 Wednesday: 1220 Thursday: 1210 |
I just figured we could set it up to be Monday thru Monday or Tuesday thru Monday.
Its just a place to come and be accountable every day or every other day for each day this week. I have to get someone to hold the whip over my head since the carrot (weight loss) isn't working right now. Thanks for everyone joining to help keep accountable this week. |

Tuesday:
I did my 30 minutes on the treadmill, and ate 1431 calories! I'm under..yay... Although I got on the scale this morning and it said 214.5. I thought "that can't be right" so I got off then back on...and landed at 216. Bummer! |
I would love to join in. My challenge will be Wednesday-Wednesday since I love on vacation next Wed. I weigh 168 I believe.
Wed- exercise- CLX lean 1 43 minutes plus 20 minute turbo jam. calories- 1473 |
Woot well my calorie count was horrible and I didn't get any exercise in but I did count all my calories yesterday (that was my goal).
My calories were 2500 (hubby took me out to dinner at thai :) I mean :P ) Thanks for checking in everyone. Great Job Lori Bell! In the scheme of things those last 3 pounds aren't really that important, I look at what you have achieved and have hope! |
I lost 2lbs!! Yay me!!!! That puts me in the 140's!! Do excited! *blush*
|
Joining in and I'll run mine Wed to Wed! Current weight 256.
1500 calorie a day goal Already today: breakfast: fresh fruit, cheese and crackers 331 lunch: Sandwhich and french onio soup 465. Leaves 700 calories for dinner and it'll be tough. Had to fast this morning for bloodwork so packed my breakfast for afterwards and was starving 20 minutes after I ate it! Now I just had lunch and I'm still hungry! :( Might have some oatmeal later as a snack... Excercise: 5k walk with some jogging This Saturday's going to be the worst as I'm going to a family wedding shower and my aunts are all amazing cooks. Be strong. Be strong. |
I'm in and will start mine Thursday-Thursdays. Just got out of the hospital with my son, so today is pretty much shot!
|
Happy Thursday everyone.
Exercise- 55 minutes of cardio calories- I did really well on my calories yesterday so hopefully I can keep it up. This is crunch time right before my vacation. Bev |
I am now *just* below 140 - 139.8 this morning! So excited! I've been tracking using SparkPeople. They recommend my calories be between 1200 and 1500; I am always just below 1300.

Well another day under my belt, its already easier to remember to log my calories. That is the hardest part for me getting back in the habit!
Calories 2100 Walked 2 miles fast paced did some situp and plank/downdog for arms Determined hope everything is ok, glad everyone has a place to come check in for whatever they want. |
Dinner last night put me up to 1480. Did 5k yesterday walking. Aiming for 1500 each day.
Right now I'm at 421 for the day. Of course I didn't weigh my grilled onions on my salad I just put them at 20 calories so there is some guesswork on this. :P Bad Angela. I've really got to get back in the habit of weighing and measuring everything. Might or might not take a short walk tonight if I get home before dark. Been putting in a couple of hours of overtime a day everyday this week. |
My goals this week:
Lose 2lbs-still no movement on the scale Stay under or at my alloted calories of 1455 per day-so far so good Do my strength/ab training 3 times this week -once this week so far and my abs HURRRTTT |
Today is my weigh in day. Did not loose anything! :( I will definitly be working harder this coming week!!
|
Well failed miserably at keeping calories in control but kept count as was my ultimate goal, I know from the past once I get into the habit I soon feel so shamed at the amount I eat that I naturally cut back.
Its awfully hard to face the truth sometimes :) Calories 2400 Exercise - none :( Funny enough though I lost some weight, I have been at 193 and this morning I weighed 191 so I really must have been blowing it before I was counting :P |
My goals this week:
Lose 2lbs-only 1/2 a pound to meet that goal!!! Come on, tomorrow! Stay under or at my alloted calories of 1455 per day-so far so good Do my strength/ab training 3 times this week-two times...again tomorrow so I figure that'll get me in for three times this week...... |
I did great this week too.. Worked out 5x, stayed under cals all week (actually had to snack to eat up to my cals) and have lost 2lbs this week so far... Official weigh in is Monday, so we'll see where I'm at then! ;)
|
Scale this morning gave me that .5lbs back!! Since I started this one week goal thingee on Tuesday, I'm giving myself a couple of days but COME ON!!!
