~St. Patrick's Day Challenge~ - Page 8 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Had a crappy weekend, and a TERRIBLE weigh in(thanks to the Day of Pie and it being my TOM--UCK!) but am still pushing through.

We can do this!

Oh boy, my weekend did not go well. I went out on Friday night and calories were way too high, but probably not more than 2500 hopefully. I got sick over the weekend and didn't eat much on Sat. and Sun, but working out was not happening. Of course TOM is this week too. Ugh

Bumps in the road, but that's life! Tomorrow is a new day.

I hope everyone is doing well

In spite of being on the road a few days ago (and eating Chipotle not once, but TWICE), I had a great weigh in today! Down 3.3 lbs since Wed! This not a typical rate of weight loss for me (usually don't lose this fast), but I'll take it

SW: 257
CW: 252.4
GW: 249 (25 total lbs lost)

Only 3.4 lbs to go! Oh yeah, and I get to change my avatar today!!

Today is our day to stay on task and get to goal. We have 23 days to go and we can do this.

Yesterday I worked out and had to push because I'm still tired from moving the bed this weekend. But I think I will have a better workout today. I have stayed on plan so I should have no problem getting to my goal.

Hey Ladies!

Well, Yesterday ended on a FINE note(Can anyone say 1300 calories--ON TARGET! YAY!!!

). Got on the scale this morning---and there was ANOTHER WIN! 206.4... which brings me just 2 pounds away from being HALFWAY to goal!

Did Shred this morning(ouchie) and had a healthy breakfast.

Onward!

Just wanted to do a little check in to say I'm still here...which is my goal...to keep on keeping on. I'm doing great and am well pleased with my progress.

NorthernExposure · 02-23-2010, 06:47 PM

Keep up all the positive energy...we can do this!!

fruitlady · 02-23-2010, 08:10 PM

I lost 1/2, so small, a little disappointed

gr82bmom · 02-23-2010, 09:41 PM

I am going to do this challenge too. I'm never good at these but I am really giving it my hardest this time around. So, by March 17th I want to be 10 pounds lighter or be wearing my size 20 jeans that are sitting in my closet that I wore in the fall (I've been in sweatpants every day this winter...thank god I'm a SAHM). Whichever comes first...I'll take it! Anyway, wish me luck and I'm wishing it all to you too.

Welcome, gr82bmom! Good luck on your goal!

Fruitlady, hang in there. You'll have a drop. Remember, you're a 1/2 lb lighter -- even THAT is an accomplishment and you never know when it'll be followed up by a whoosh.

I was feeling very bloated and just blah Monday and Tuesday and my weight has been, basically, as a standstill since last Thursday but this morning I woke up to a whoosh. Had to step on the scale a couple times just to make sure.

Since I *am* feeling less bloated now, I'm hoping it'll stick (all of my whooshes thus far have so there IS hope. Hehe.)

That whoosh put me at 194.5 which is 5.5 lbs from my goal of being in the 180's. 5.5 lbs in 21 days. SO do-able.

jamleigh78 · 02-24-2010, 09:46 AM

Had my first weigh in today!
SW 219.4
CW 215.2
GW 209.4

ShylahEQ · 02-24-2010, 10:53 AM

I'm new here and joining in a bit behind, but why the heck not!?

I'm hoping to hit 259 by St Patty's Day. That only gives me 7 lbs to lose, but I don't want to stress myself out in my first challenge.

Slow and steady and maybe, just maybe, I"ll be even lower. I'd be happy to see the 250's on my scale!!

parkedout · 02-24-2010, 11:41 AM

WTG Evoo and jamleigh! Nice work, ladies!

I did another Shred today, and have the typical second day soreness--which basically translates to not being able to move certain parts of my body... like my legs...

(kidding! I can move them, just not very fast!)

Feeling good about where I am today. On plan, exercise is done and nothing but sunshine for the rest of the day.

We can do this!

evoo · 02-24-2010, 11:43 AM

Hmmm... where's jigglefree? I miss her cheery morning update! She's a breath of fresh air and I don't know if it's just me but her inspiration is just contagious.

Blairsey · 02-24-2010, 12:57 PM

Hey Chickies!

I had a nice little drop this morning. I upped my calories for the past couple of days and I'm feeling amazed by how much good food I can eat and still lose. I was eating too few calories for my weight, but I'm trying to get the whole "dieting means starving" mentality behind me. The scale is convincing me that I'm doing the right thing!

Keep up the good work, Ladies!
