This challenge is PERFECT timing! I am a bridesmaid in february and the weightloss from this challenge will help me look better in that dress. I am going to set a lofty goal of 30 lbs in two months. That's 3 lbs a week since this is a 10 week challenge. Y ou know what I just realized I missed. shrinking out of clothes. I haven't gotten too skinny for any clothes in while and I totall miss it! let's hope it happens again soon.
oh and CONGRATS NEESY!!!! You did freakin awesome!
Im so ready for the new challenge, my bday is January 20th, so the challenge will fall just shy of my bday and I have decided, my bday goal is 130, so lets say my goal for this challenge is 30 pounds, right there with Tiff. I am going to train hard too. I met a guy at the Halloween party I went to and he is personal trainer, well, were not getting serious but he has agreed to help me train (starting today) for free! Were going to go to the park and do some interval training, in the mean time, were going to get to know each other so its a double bonus! Im so excited.
Welcome to all the new girls!
Neesy- CONGRATULATIONS GIRL!!! You look smokin hot and get a gift. Send me a PM with your email so I get to it with your gift card, so excited.
On a separate note, everyone did such an amazing job, Im so proud of all of you! Im sorry Back2Basics has disappeared but who knows, maybe she will find us again.
Today is going to be a great day, I have decided that I need to get back to my normal sleep schedule because that is what is sabotaging my gym time. I am trying to get my mom to do the 30DS but she was cursing me this morning after we did it, so lets hope I can stick with it. With the training from my new boy, I doubt Ill need to do both. Im really happy with how I handled Halloween also, I mean...I ate candy but not too bad, and I made my daughter stop at a certain point so me and her didnt overdose on candy, lol, next challenge is Thanksgiving, which is not a big deal for me because I really dislike most of the food served, now Christmas---thats another story, lol.
Ok, got to get to work, Ill talk to you girls later.
haha...you girls wanna hear something funny? I have found my new motivation. my ex-fiance has gotten married and through facebook stalking it is obvious that she has recently lost quite a bit of weight over the last year. she is my motivation. I want to look better than her. if she can lose the weight so can I. if he can run 5k's...so can I. everytime I want to stuff my face or get out of going to the gym. I will look at her picture. you girls better watch out in the challenge! it's sooo on. I know how long I have to go and I am on a mission to get there.
p.s. sorry for the typos and grammar...any posting during the workday I do will be from my palm.
TIff- I CAN SO RELATE!!! My motivation is somewhat for another person at this point too. Not another female but for a guy and not because I want the guy but to prove to him that I am more successful than what he gave me credit for. We have the same weight loss goal in pounds, so BRING IT! Haha. :P
lindy - too funny - I think thanksgiving food is boring and not my favorite too - I thought I was the only one! And winning this challenge would be a nice b-day present for you, don't ya think? The timing is great for me too as we go on our beach vacation in mid-jan. I'm shooting for losing about 15 by the end of the challenge.
tifftiff - hey - no one ever said we had to have "pure and saintly" motives to lose weight. A big part of what got me started in May was knowing I needed to wear a strapless bridesmaid's dress in front of a bunch of my friends and I didn't want to be the chubby one.
I kind of gave myself a cheat day yesterday - ate pasta, some cookies, basically NOT ON PLAN. So I'm back on the wagon and am going to be tracking religiously this week. My boss is in town so I won't have as much control as usual over my schedule but am shooting for a reasonable amount of exercise.
Okay, ladies - what are you all doing today that is going to get you to your goals?
dancer: today I am ignoring the halloween leftovers in the kitchen so that I can get to my goal. after work I am going to the gym and running my a** off (literally).
Dance- yeah, my ex was really unsupportive when I was losing weight. He didnt want me to at first, then when he saw I was, he would say thing like "well, you'll just change your mind and slack down the road", whatever.
My plan is to stay on point. Im shooting for a 1300 calorie day, 12 glasses of water and I am seriously cutting back on any sugar for the next 2 months. That means no Pepsi AT ALL, no sweets, no low-fat/fat-free, nothing. Ill indulge occasionally but in other ways, not with sugar loaded items. I have the same drive I did 4-5 months ago and am sooo ready to kill it.
tifftiff and lindy - sounds like you girls are ready to do this! I'm going to try to cut back on carbs this week - still have fruits and veggies but minimal whole grains and try to up the protein a bunch.
Hello all.Thanks so much for letting me join this challenge.Well I have a weight of 267.2 this morning.After a Halloween full of nothing but junk I am ready to start fresh and be accountable for my actions.I need to do this there is no question about it.I am getting forward to getting to know all of you.
Tiff- I understand! My husbands ex is a pretty skinny mini and I always feel like I want to do better than her. She is so not in the picture but in my head she is. lol.
Lindy- New guy!!! Woooowoooo. I am excited to hear about him kicking your butt. You are obviously looking sexy if you are pulling hot trainers!
Dance- Good job getting back on board. I wish I rebounded that fast in the past!
luvmy3- We love to have more voices! And I am excited to leave this last weekend behind me too. Makes me wonder how I will really handle the holidays....
I am going to the vet. Then to the store to get my plan stuff for the first 3 days. Its 80+oz of water. Any meats and unlimited green veggies. 1 orange a day 1/2 with eggs in the am and 1/2 with dinner. Hard and I was STARVING after 3 days last time but it breaks plateaus and gets things moving.
Hey girls! Thanks so much. I can't even believe I lost that much. I remember thinking at the beginning of the challenge that there was no way I would lose much. I sent a pm to AJ with my email. Though I feel bad taking anything cuz you all did so well. Well.. here's to meeting our goals for this next challenge. We can do this! Oh.. and Lindy, I can't wait for our cruise. We're all gonna be looking hot by the time it comes.
hehe
