Looks like some great goals! Hello to all the CC challenge "regulars" and a big welcome to the newbies!
I'm off to a good start this week--
Yesterday: 1050 calories, 20 minute walk (wasn't feeling too well...usually don't eat that low!)
Today: 1450 calories, 30 minute walk/jog
Welcome to all the newcomers, Hello to the regulars and welcome back to the ones that we haven't seen in a while.
So far so good. I'm eating lots of fruit and veggies. I do need to increase my water intake. This is day 3 of our Church Fast so I will not be counting the losses as I don't eat like this normally. The fast ends Sunday after church. I will eat and get back to my P90X workouts. I miss them...if you start it's addicting. If you push play you will be compelled to do the workout. So it will be my plan to make sure I push play everyday except Saturday which is rest day for me.
Well, I really, really need this challenge to get back on track. I'm not sure what happened well, yeah I do but..... here we go again. I am going to be realistic about this as Thanksgiving is only 3 weeks away so.
Goal 1 Loose 5 more pounds, and be down to 175.
Goal 2 Do walking videos at least 3 times per week.
Hello everyone!!! I'm ready for a new challenge!! Didn't do so well on the Halloween one, but I got my butt back in gear, so I can't complain. I initially said I wanted to lose 15 pounds on the Thanksgiving challenge, but I'm going to shoot for 20. I know it seems like a lot, but I need to really push myself this month in order to avoid setbacks.
I'm off to good start this week as well! Yesterday went well. Under 1500 cals for the day and 20 min of walk/jog and 35 min of hand weight exercises. Today is expected to be under 1500 calories as well with 30 min of pilates.
No wine so far! Hope everyone is having a good start!!
ETA: Ended up with under 1600 cals and no pilates. Too tired & will go to bed instead.

Off to a weird start for me, chicks. I had some Candy (Halloween just passed, give me a break!) .. but I didn't stuff myself with sweets, I was pretty controlled, which is a good thing. This challenge will be relatively short so I feel like I have a better chance at doing well & managing 4 weeks.. its my TOM so hopefully all this access waterweight will be dropping soon!
So far, so good. I ended the day at 1200 calories. Didn't do any exercise, but that's because I'm swamped with work that's due in less than a week. I'll have time for the treadmill eventually.
Good Morning Ladies!!!
I'm off to a great start today. I finally met my goal for last challenge (thanks to the fast). My plan is to slowly add foods back so I don't gain any weight and I continue to loose. So onward and downward. I like the short challenges because you really have to stay focused and no accidental or intentional cheating.
Sunday is the end of the fast so I can hop back on my P90X workouts. I talked to a coach at beach body and he told me not to workout during my fasting because it could do more harm than good. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is I may be sore when I get back on the plyometric workout.
Do you all want to have NSV Friday again this challenge?
Hey everyone!! Woke up a little late today, but still plan on getting my workout in before going to work. I'm really motivated on this particular challenge. Had some weak moments the last few weeks and thought I needed my ex boyfriend again, but found out something last night that re-affirms (the day after I talked to him and told him i still cared), that I'm too good for him and it was a good thing I got rid of him! Its funny where the mind pulls its motivation from! Especially funny the timing of things. They manage to work out perfectly I've come to realize. I'm ready to kick butt on this challenge! Had a little whoosh this morning, -3.2 pounds, so I'll take it!! Off to work out!
Have a good day everyone!!
Hey ladies!
I’m off to a pretty good start. I’ve been OP, staying in the low end of my calorie range and getting in my hour-long walks. I’ve also stuck to just 1 candy a day, which I’m pretty excited about. These challenges always help me so much, being able to write down my goals and have somewhere to be accountable
My TOM came yesterday so I feel blah today, but it did bring a nice 1.5 lb whoosh with it. That always happens to me – like my body will let me lose some extra weight cause it know I’ll be feeling gross for a few days. I’m not sure if I’ll be going to my BellyFit class tonight though (it’s a bellydancing fitness class, and focuses a lot on hip + tummy movements). I guess I’ll see if I feel a bit better in the next couple hours. Here’s hoping, since I was really looking forward to the class…
Oh, and I'm still up for NSV Fridays. It always makes me happy to read everyone's NSVs.
I seem to be doing quite well with my eating and exercising. With my heart condition I need to take it slow, but I know that in the end it will be so worth it. I must have had some fluid build up, because I have dropped 2#'s suddenly.
Wow, looks like everyone is doing well and like me, seem particularly motivated for this challenge! That's so awesome
Today I'm at about 1480 calories, and just got back from my 30 minute walk. I was really hungry this afternoon and when I got home I felt like I could have eaten a horse's hind end. But instead of going crazy, I had a piece of string cheese to tide me over until dinner. I'm pretty proud of that!
Yes, I'd like to continue with NSV's if everyone else would. Friday is also my regular weigh in day, so I really like being able to report/read NSV's, especially when WI doesn't go as I had hoped!
Hi all! I agree with Northern, everyone seems to be doing great!
I have fallen behind on my c25k because of my cold. But, I don't want to over do it until I'm healthy again. Eating has been going pretty good. This week I've kept it around 1500 calories. Today I will end with about 1600, which is just fine.
MIL ordered the Wii Zumba game. I tried it out tonight. I have to say that it is WELL worth the 26 bucks! It's quite addicting and just fun! I did that for about an hour tonight! Broke a nice sweat after about 10minutes of it! I will be doing that for some fun!
I weighed myself yesterday and today and I'm steady at 153!! The official is tomorrow so we will see!
As for mileage 4miles down, 56 to go!
Anyhow.. I'm off to bed. Later chickies! Keep up the awesome work!
Loose 5 more pounds, and be down to 175.
