I'm in but I usually aim for 1.5 - 2 pounds per week so that is a little more than 12 pounds I hope this is OK. I don't always make my weekly goal so chances are I may not go over 12 pounds.
I am in! I'm going to try to be the first one to goal again The said thing is it would be a lot harder if I wasn't so fat to start with!
If you like pizza, I posted a recipe on my blog today with a lot of pics. The crust is made of cauliflower and I LOOOOOVE this pizza. I could eat it every day. It packs such a veggie punch, and it tastes great. If you want to check it out, the link to my blog is in my sig.
Thank you RoseRodent, for setting these challenges up!
I'm going to add an update once a week. Since I weigh in on Saturdays, I figured I would give an update right after I weight in. I did great this week. I lost 2 1/2 lbs. I only went over my calories one day this week and even then I only went over by 200 calories which is still in my calorie range since I eat the low end of my calories. Today, I'm going out to lunch at Red Lobster with my brother, pregnant SIL and parents. I already know what I'm having - Maple Grilled Chicken and a cheese biscuit. I'm going to have a high calorie day and will get back on track tomorrow. I'm hoping to lose another 1-2 lbs this week.
I saw the scale go down this week, and today I clocked in at 139.4. I'm digging the downward trend, but I'm still a bit up from my previous low. I've recently started to cycle calories during the week, and I love it so far! I shoot for an average of 1,400 daily, and I really like the freedom of having one or two higher days a week. I plan to have those higher days on Friday and Saturday, which may explain why I'm still up a bit when I was seeing numbers in the solid 138's during the week. Oh well, though - all in due time!
I've been training for a 5k, and have upped my mileage lately - up to two miles in 21 minutes! Now I've just gotta tack an extra 1.2 on there....
A day late for me, but I lost 1/2 lb! I'm sort of surprised because I started running again last week now that the weather is (a little) better and the exercise has made me absolutely ravenous. I feel like I'm eating my calories back (and then some). Congrats to everyone on a great first week!
It's been an off week for me, been really ill so been asked to try to eat more. I've only been able to keep down low fibre salty foods, so I'm up 1lb. Never mind, I'd been expecting it with everything that's gone on. Not sure if I am going to be able to really play this challenge, but I'll see how my check-ups go.
Similar to the valentines challenge, I've logged a gain this first week. 2lbs of fun over the weekend and of course TOM mean I'm the blue ribbon loser for now and not in the good way. I'm still in this to get my gold square, hopefully next week will look better.
