Kimber's Weigh in

Alright, so I was shocked at my weight this morning. I lost a lb. I was 119 this morning. Actually yesterday I was excited because I was 118.6 and today I was actually 118.9. I don't know how I did it. On Thanksgiving I had a slimfast for breakfast and pigged out the rest of the day. The next few days I ate quite a bit and didn't work out, but I guess it might have helped that all the food was kept at my in-laws so I wasn't too exposed. I know we can do this girls. Lets reach our goals.

Lisa's new goal and weigh-in

Hi everyone. How was Thanksgiving? I ate SOOOO much! I told myself I would only eat whatever I wanted on Thanksgiving day. That, however, did not happen. I ate all weekend long! I gained 3 pounds, but I'm not too upset about it. I got to eat lots of good food and yummy treats. Now it's back to the grind. My new goal is to get down to 120lbs. in the next eight weeks. It's not going to be easy, but I know I can do it. Especially knowing that you guys are out there working hard too.

My weigh-in for today is 133...

Here we go! We all reached our goals and I know we can do it again :)

Lisa

Congratulations girls! We all met our goals! Doesn't it feel good. Way to go Brindy, you look great, and Lisa you did awesome, you inspire me and look amazing. It was fun last night. Alright, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy your eating. Than it is time to get back to working hard.
I just wanted to write my new goal down: I would like to get to 115 (or less) in the next 8 weeks. I think 115 is a good weight for me though and after I get there I am going to maintain my weight and not let it get over 120. I feel like that is a good range for me. Although for the next 8 weeks I am going to work hard and see how much I can lose.

hmmmm...

I weighed myself around 8:40am or so and I weighed myself tonight and my scale said the same thing as this morning, 124 lbs. WOW! I should feel excited, but I don't think I have done very well this week. Well, maybe I have. My running workouts have been pretty good, but I have not been doing my video everyday like I planned. I don't know. Also, I do not feel like I look the same as when I use to weigh 124ish. I guess I do not remember. I am just not feeling very motivated lately, so maybe that is why I am feeling fat. I saw Lisa tonight and you look great Lisa!

Since we are moving this week I need to have some goals to keep me exercising. I guess moving boxes around counts. I will try to walk to and from our house and the apt. (which I did a few times today) for whatever reason.

Okay, I will think of any other goals I might want to make and post them later. I do not want the power to go out again while I am on the computer.

Lisa's weigh-in

I weigh 134 this morning. I feel good about it. I think, if I work REALLY hard this week, I can get to 130 next week. I just have to stay focused.

So, for next week... let's all weigh in on Tuesday, but don't post it. Let's meet at my place Tuesday night (between 6 and 7 maybe?) and figure out who the winner is and then go out and celebrate. I don't care what we do... anything will be fun.

Let me know if this will work for everyone. Good luck this week, I know we can meet our goals!

Kimber's Weigh in

So I weighed in at 121 this morning, just one more pound to meet the goal weight for me! I feel good about all of us. We have done great. Work hard this week! I am dieting, using slimfast until next week. One thing that will be challenging this week for me is I have bunco two nights this week as I am subbing for a friend in another group so I will have to have self control with the food there this time. Last month I did well and am writing this here so I will feel even guiltier if I cave. I am going to really really stick to my diet this week, until Tuesday. It is working well.

What is the plan for next week? I guess I would prefer the evening and having a night out. I was even thinking we could go see New Moon or we could just go shopping or just to Jamba Juice or eat or something. What do you girls what to do? Just let me know.

Also how are we going to figure the winner? Are we doing percentage or just pounds lost? If we do percentage do you just divide the lbs lost by the initial weight or what?

Brindy's weigh in

I weighed in at 126 1/2 today. Not too bad I guess, however, I really want to fit in my old pants like I use to. I am having a little bit of a hard time staying focused and really working hard while I am exercising. I am 1/2 a pound off of my goal weight, but I am guessing that even if I do weigh in at 125, my pants still won't fit, so I am going to try for 120-122. Wish me luck. And good job to you girls, I am so happy that we are doing this, it is such a good thing.

Also, I am not sure if Jen is still going to participate. She has had quite a stressful few weeks. I am okay if she wants to back out at this time. I am not saying she should, but if this can be one thing that can relieve some stress right now, then I am totally okay with that. What do you guys think? What are you thinking Jen? I totally think you can still loose quite a bit a weight in 2 weeks, especially because you just had a baby. Mainly, you will need to make sure you exersice about everyday, at least 25min. (doesn't have to be all in one clump). Take Saturday and Sunday off if you want. I believe you can do it. It will make you feel better too. It is going to be hard though.

I'm having a cheat day

I want everyone to know that today I'm having a cheat day. I'm eating whatever I want for today only. Tomorrow, it's back to the grind. I felt like if I didn't tell you, I might be tempted to get back into some bad habits.

Lisa's weigh-in

I weigh 137, only one pound down from last week. A little disappointing. Two weeks left, I can do this. I REALLY want to get down to 130 by Thanksgiving!

Kimber's Weigh in

I weighed 123 this morning! 8 lbs lost so far. 2-3 lbs to go to reach my goal. Two weeks left. We can all do it girls. Good luck this week girls.

Final weigh in

I think it is a great idea to do our own weigh ins then get together and go to Jamba Juice.

Lisa, so sorry. Ice a lot and try to stay off your feet. Hope it heals soon.

Brindy

Brindy I totally feel you. Since it is colder I am having a hard time exercising, becuase I keep thinking I will go out running/jogging when it warms up, but then I get busy with other stuff and don't get around to it. I decided today that I need to just do a video in the morning no matter what and then in the afternoon I can take the kids out for a jog or at least a walk so Eliana can get out and ride her bike if it is nice. That way I don't miss my exercise if we don't get around to it in the afternoon. I wish I lived closer to you guys so I could exercise with you. I thought about joining a gym but it seems like it would just be a lot of work and time to get the kids ready and go but am still considering it. Also the gym closest to me is pretty expensive. There is a new community center but it is still like 10-15 minutes away.

Lisa, I am sooooo sorry about your ankle. I hope it gets better fast. Let me know if I can help you if you need anything.

I think we should get together just for fun and to give the money to the winner. Unless people are too busy getting ready for Thanksgiving. I am available though.

Good luck girls!

I rolled my ankle!

I went running last night and totally rolled my ankle! It hurts so bad. I've rolled ankles before, but never this bad. It's all swollen and I can't walk right. I'm mad. I don't think I'll be able to work out for a while. I'm hoping that by Friday or Saturday it'll be okay.

Okay, let's all do our own final weigh-in, but do you still want to get together?

I don't know what's up with Jen...

Jen

Is Jen still participating? Come on Jen, you can do it! Get Melody to walk with you.

Weigh in

I agree with Kimber. Scales might vary a little. Also, my weight varies. My first weigh in was in the afternoon, so I go by my weight in the afternoon. I would have prefered to use my weight in the morning, but at the time I did not have a scale and I don't think anyone would let me come weigh myself at 7 in the morning. (I am barrowing my friends scale until we are done with the competition.)

Anyway, I weighed myself on Monday and was 128 lbs. I am having a hard time with exercising this week. I am feeling extra tired for several reasons, but am hoping to get with it tomorrow. Also, my running partner hasn't been able to run lately, so it is even harder for me to be in the exercising mood if no one is there to push me out the door.

Reply to Final Weigh In

Sounds fine with me Lisa. The only thing is to be truly accurate I have been weighing myself at the same time of day, which for me has been first thing in the morning, before anything and have used the same scale. I know for me my weight varies during the day. We can still meet for the final weigh in though. Either day or night works for me so whatever you guys prefer. The only thing I have that day is Eliana might have dance at 4:00. I don't know if they might cancel it for Thanksgiving or not, but I can find out if necessary. Just let me know what works for everyone. Good luck everyone!

Kimber's Weigh in

This morning I weighed the exact same as last week, so no progress.

For the final weigh-in

I know this is still 3 weeks away, but if we're going to do it, we should get it on the calander. So, I was thinking that on Tuesday, November 24 we could all meet at my place to do our final weigh-in and have a little celebration. Everyone could bring their $20 to give the winner and then we could go out and get a smoothie at Jamba Juice or something of the sort to celebrate all our hard work. What do you think? We could meet during the day with all the kids or at night and do a girls night out.



Also, I am going to try to keep losing weight, even if I reach 130 lbs. If anyone wants to keep going, I'd love the support. We can keep blogging and maybe set a new reward, like if we reach our next goal weight, we could all go jean shopping together or something.



Let me know your thoughts.



Have a good week girls, we can do this!

Lisa's weigh-in

I'm down to 138! I am so pleased with myself, it feels great! Eight pounds to go... I feel like I did really good over the weekend. I had a few pieces of candy, but that's it. On Sunday, I dumped all the candy on the table, let everyone eat it until they felt sick, then threw all the rest in the garbage. So now I don't have to worry about eating all the left-over Halloween candy, it's gone. I plan on doing the same things this week as last: slim fast in the morning, fruits and veggies for lunch, light dinner.
