Hi All,

I would love to do a 5lb challenge. How does it work? and can I join this group or do I need to start another group? How long do we have to loose it? Tell me everything.:^:

join now, mercer mom

post your starting weight (SW)
current weight (CW)
and goal weight (GW - which should be 5 lbs less than your SW)

first person to reach their GW gets to start the new thread

good luck!

Congrats Vikki, you're doing awesome!!!

SW:157
CW:157
GW:152

I'm in absolute shock this morning. I was NOT expecting to see 157, this is amazing for me, I feel like I'm dreaming. I am 3/4 of a pound away from being the weight of the average American woman, and 10 pounds away from reaching my lowest adult weight:dance:

Good luck everyone!! we can do this:woohoo::D

Congrats, Vikki! 2 in a row, that's fantastic!

SW: 156
CW: 156

Congrats again Vikki!!!

GW 133

Wow Raia!!! Good for you. I can't wait to get into my 150s!

.

Miriam pretty much covered it...its pretty simple!! You can log on daily and report your weight (I think that is what most of us do) or just whenever...

You just watch people's weights go down down down and see who hits -5 first!!!

And if you have any questions or problems you can ask and we all try to help!!

:welcome3:

Welcome Jessica! I was in your exact same place last month. Leaving the 170s felt soooooo good. :)

.

Just got on the scale:

SW: 172 (down a whole 1.5lbs from my weighin on Sunday)
GW: 167

Yay - welcome to all our new members!!

Congrats to vikki - TWO in a row - wow!!

Well, last Saturday I saw 148.6 - but the next day I went up to 149.2 and I have stayed there ever since!!

So, hoping to see a nice little whoosh soon. Good thing though - this challenge brings me to within 0.2 of my pre-pg weight, so bring it on! And I think it's the first challenge I have started with a weight in the 140s!

SW: 149.2
CW: 149.2

Good morning all you losers!!

start 137
current 136.5
goal 132

have a terrific wednesday!! My Mom is coming to visit and I told her not to bother getting this insanely yummy fried chicken (and she'll bring 2 of them) that I will eat and eat and eat until it's gone. I couched this request in, "oh, don't worry about dinner Mom, the kids and I want to see you. You'll get here faster if you don't stop..." ;0

Congrats again Vikki!!!

Finally dropped a wee bitty bit from 159, thankfully.

Start Weight: 159
Current Weight: 158.8
Goal Weight: 154

God morning and Welcome to all the new losers!!
Down one pound this morning, as a result of 30 day shred and 4 mile WATP yesterday evening.

SW 138
CW 137
GW 133

I love the way "30 Day Shred" sounds. I have no idea what the workout consists of, but it does have the coolest name around!

I don't know is either, but its Jillian Micheals so I know its good! She is a tough cookie! Kitty - I love fried chicked!!! Tell your mom that rather than her picking up or making some to come on and you guys can make it together when she gets there so you can spend more time together....there are lots of good "fried" chicken recipies where you really bake the chicken....there is one on www.shape.com recipies that is the bomb.... so you can have a new tradition!!

I'm up a pound this morning....back to 254....stupid TOM finally came yesterday. I'm okay right now....better than I thought I would be with a gain. I worked so hard yesterday. I only had like 1400 of my 1500 calories, I did 45 minutes of cadio DVD, 30 minutes strength training (had to make it up from Monday), and walked 2 miles.....so it is rather hard to work so hard and see a gain....BUT maybe if I work that hard all week I will only see a slow gain of a pound or two and ...I have to keep in mind those lbs will leave with TOM and maybe even some extra ones....

GOTTA KEEP POSITIVE....

I had a little whoosh, which was exciting.

SW-214
CW-212.5
GW-209

Hang in there, everyone!

all hail the whoosh!

I really love the 30 Day Shred.. It doesn't take so long to do, so I add some extra workout sometimes.. I started level 2 yesterday,, it's a killer..
Anyway, if someone is interested, I did a spreadsheet of our challenge..http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?k...vVrP1zS4eyJBNA I guess I'm a freak when it's about numbers :).. Here you can see it.. (I apologize if there's something wrong..) I'll try to update it every day.

Hey kitty....here is the recipe I was talking about...

You and your mom can make healthy fried chicken together and enjoy a new tradition!!!

Here is the link...its good I've had it!

theresia - are you doing the 30 day shred challenge the same one with Jillian Michaels from the biggest loser????

Yes, that's the one I'm doing.. I will do day 12 today.. But I'm not doing it for 30 days in a row.. Maybe 5 days/week.. My muscles needs a break between :)

SW: 166.2
CW: 164.8 (-1.4)
GW: 161.2

Whew. I'm so glad to be going the *right* way on the scale. :)

:( I want that soooo bad :( I don't work. I'm a stay at home mommy on a tight budget, so I'm forced to stick with my old VHS work out tapes :rofl:. They are sooo old. It is hard to stay motivated enough to do them....I wish I could afford to buy the 30 day shred workout and let Jillian kick my but into shape :kickbutt: !!!! Oh well, a small price to pay for being able to have this time with my baby girl!! :D

How long are the work outs....I'm looking for a good 45 minute bootcamp type DVD.....I've been looking at yard sales and on e-bay

:(Guess I thought this was the 5lb gaining challenge.

I am back up to 155 this morning:(

Not a good motivator when I am feeling so unmotivated.

Poo...I know what you mean. What do you think the problem is??? Mine is TOM....:mad: stupid TOM :mad:.....do you think yours is gettin' close....or is it salt intake or water gain....or even muscle gain.....do you think you stuck to your calories/points pretty well and got all your exercise in???

Not trying to kill you with questions....just want to be supportive....maybe we can figure out together why you gained 2#'s and then figure out how to get rid of it :hug:

I went to a BBQ last night, and while I didn't gorge myself, I also don't want to become disappointed because I've gained a bit by not sticking strictly to my calorie allowance. It could have been worse - normally I do just pig out at these things, but as it is I say congratulations to everyone who's down today, and I'll weigh in tomorrow.

I really don't know. I've only been on this site for almost a week. I guess I am still in that can't get going stage. Hard habits, but saying all that.. according to Dailyplate with the exercise I did yesterday, I didn't go over my cals. I have been lifting a few weights but only since last Friday. I wouldn't think I would have muscle gain already would I?

I am a ways a way from TOM. I just don't know:(

I do feel like I am eating too much fat, according to Dailyplate.

I do feel like I need help finding some low fat low cal high protein foods to eat.

Some posters on dailyplate seem to think the fitness calories burned aren't accurate. If that's the case then I have been going way over cal allotment.

Anyone have any experience with this.
