  • Hey everyone, I weighed in at 167.8 this week. That's a loss of 1.6 for this past week. Only a loss of 2.6 for the month, but I'm going to be very strictly on plan for the next 2 weeks. In 2 weeks I have to get fitted for a bridesmaid dress.
  • Hey Everyone, This is a countdown post!!!! Theres only a week left to challenge. The last 3 weeks were really thought provoking. Not to mention kept me motivated. I loved coming here to read other posts and see I was actually loosing during my moments of discouragement. My original goal was 184lbs. But I think that was a bit exaggeraed for one month (13lbs is alot!). I am currently 189lbs... so i have a 3lb goal for this week. So May 31st I WILL be saying I weigh 186lbs!!!! Lets excerise this weight off in the last week of May. We can go this! Yay us!
  • Jacque, Way to rock, congrats on the great month so far!

    ZooChick, Great job this week. Fitting into a dress is great motivation. I'm leaving to get married at the end of next month so I definitely know.

    As for me I have been stuck the last couple of weeks and really not losing, it has been very frustrating. On Friday the scale said 137 this was up a couple of pounds from the days before (I'm sure it was water weight) but still UGH. Then today the scale magically said 133!!!!!!!!!! This was my monthly goal so I am very happy! Hope its not a fluke.
  • Whew, I'm glad everybody is back! So few posts this weekend I started to wonder! :-)

    I'm up a bit this morning, but I am sure it was the salty chips I had with salsa last night. I got my cup of ice water and I will see just how many I can get down today. With only 6 days left in May I am still gonna try to reach my goal, if I don't that's ok too cause I did better than I thought!

    Everybody have a great day on plan!!

  • Good morning everyone. I weighed in his morning at 181.

    SW 181
    GW 175
  • Hey everyone

    Hope everyone is finishing May strong and getting ready for a final weigh in on May 31st which is this Sunday!!!
  • Wow, only one week left! My month hasn't been going too well. Once again I gained this week (up 0.8 to 155.8). By all the calculations, I should be down a solid 1.2, but for some reason my body isn't following the rules. I totally pigged out on Monday, maybe that will shock my metabolism back into action.........
  • Boot Camp Day 3
    So woke up with a very sore neck and had a terrible night's sleep. But I got up, put the sweatshirt and shorts on went out the door..IN THE COLD, COLD RAIN and schlepped to boot camp. We did do some laps in a drizzle and wind but did strength training and more cardio under a pavilion. Here's the breakdown:

    • warm up - laps - 10 minutes
    • squat/shoulder press combo *
    • standing lunges with weights *
    • more laps - 5 minutes
    • jumping jacks *
    • step ups *
    • chest press *
    • There was one more set of something, can't remember what


    *We did 8 sets of each. Each set lasted anywhere from 45 - 60 seconds with about a 10 second rest in between
  • Heather- I would LOVE 2 pounds a week. I get 2 pounds a month.

    Jacque- Sounds like Bootcamp is kicking your butt. Wish I could join you.

    Zoo- that is a great loss.

    To the others who are GAINING, or not making much progress- I HEAR YA. Loud and clear. I am getting very frustrated. Haven't lost a thing this whole month. I have gone up and down a little, but no REAL progress.

    SO, I just keep working out and eating normally. I try to hit 1400 calories a day. I guess when I lose weight, I'll be the first to know. I can tell you this. I am sick of seeing 190 anything. I want to be in the 180's and never see a stinkin 9 again.
  • I went for a 40 minute walk with Cody(puppy) his afternoon. I am on my way.

    LLBeaner, Did you get the new EA Game for the Wii, I got it yesterday and love it. Completed day 2 of the 30 day challenge today. I love the interaction.
    I did get the new EA Game for the Wii. I received it on Thursday and went out of town Friday. I am looking forward to using it today. I did test it out a bit on Thursday. One thing I noticed was once you agree to do a 30 minute workout or whatever there really isn't any way out of it unless you just return to the Wii Menu. Haven't really looked into it much but I will. I wish they made the strap for the leg a bit larger. I have monster soccer thighs and it falls off a lot!!! But tonight I will be trying it out while still doing my Wii Fit too!


    Went WAAAAY off plan this weekend. We went away and I tried soooo hard to track my points while I was away but I was a bit higher then I should have been. We had cake like it was going out of style for my dad's birthday! I am at 180 right now (not sure where I was last but still not happy with this result). Will be busting my butt this week to make up for all the ice cream sundaes and cake that was consumed!!!!
  • mtiger- Im sorry. i guess i should be more grateful for any downward movement. I always tend to expect more. *slaps wrist* sorry. The good thing is we still have time, we can keep going!!!! I got pizza in my kitchen right now. I dont think the pizza will win, instead a nice big salad will. fingers crossed.
  • Up a little more today. I I am hoping it is my mid-cycle gain coming a little late. I really hope it doesn't stick around. I liked the 180's so much better than the 191.2 I saw today. I am begining to despise the number 9.

    Did BL Bootcamp tonight for the first time in ages. It was tough. What a workout I got tonight.
  • Hey everyone, I finally got the new wii game in today. I absolutely LOVE it, it's soo much better than the original wii game. I did the first day of the 30 day challenge today. Can't wait to see how much of a difference it will make adding this to my routine. Hope ya'll had a good day!
