I'm confused, was today weigh day? What are the days to weigh in? I'll post tomorrow morning.

Ate 1200 cals today! Nice start to my winning this competition!! LOL! I'm hoping I've been eating terrible enough the past few weeks that I'll have that amazing first drop in weight. When I started at 171 I dropped the first 10 easily! Wouldn't that be just fabulous!

Now tomorrow is the challenge, I have bible study in the PM and they always bring BAD snacks...not even the gluten holds me back. This competition better be enough to hold me steadfast!

I wanna be SEXY!

I know I'm late to join but may I? I just googled the DVD and saw the preview snapshot..I am completely intrigued. I then saw the posting that I can You Tube the workout..Another fabulous idea!!! I'd like to give this a shot.

Hello Everyone!

I was reading the first few posts and started thinking about words that I use-I've noticed that I don't use "diet" unless I'm talking to someone that is also counting calories with me. If I'm talking to anyone else I talk about  "new Lifestyle" I think its because I constantly feel like I'm being watched or judged by those I see every day. I see the looks at work from the girls stuffing their faces with crap, I see them eye me up and down when they reach for a bagel and I reach from an orange. Its disgust I see in their faces, and sometimes I can tell they are hoping to see me fail. What they do not know is that the more they give me "that look" the more I feel driven to keep the weight off and tone this body up. They inspire me not to fail! So, To the mean girls at work waiting for me to become a fat ass again...keep that attitude coming because I find it more inspirational than the skinny girl pic I have stuck in my mind.

MIA! Sorry ladies! I haven't had the time to sit and write lengthy journals or posts. I've been suffering from allergies and NOTHING is taking it away. By the time I'm off work and get finished playing "mom-taxi" to the girls activities I'm exhausted. I'm still trying to find a "schedule" to continue my healthy life style. I've got a new plan, here it is:

Friday 140lbs. I want to lose 1-2 pounds a week for a total loss of 5lbs. Then I'll be assessing this bod of mine. 140 was my initial goal and I've lost 31 in the last year. I thought 140 was going to take me back to my pre-children body but it still has that loose baby pudge of grossness!!!

I plan to stop forcing my girls to stay out with me at the gym until 7pm. They aren't getting dinner or showers down until 8:30, they are exhausted and a pain in my ass. Our new schedule:

Mon: 5:30-6:30pm while they are at dance I will be at the gym

Tuesday-Thursday: 5:30-6:30am while they sleep in I'll be at the gym

Friday: rest

Saturday or Sunday: One of these days I'll work out

Mon-Friday I will walk 30 minutes at lunch.

If this schedule doesn't work out I am considering taking an hour lunch and working out then staying 30 mins over to make up the time.

I'm still pounding the water. Avoiding booze during the week. Increasing my fruit and veggie intake. Eating under 1700 cals. Eating 1400 on days that I can't get to the gym.

I am going to stop the excuses and get this binging and laziness under control.

Thanks everyone! I was having this issue and thought it to be a normal eliptical challenge. Now I know how to combat the tingles! YEA!

I'm sorry I'm having a bad night. I'll have to post more tomorrow., Good luck to everyone!

30 lbs lost in a year a half. Not bad since I only really started trying six months ago. I weighed 141 this morning and I'm super happy! ILEFT THE HOUSE FEELING SUPER SKINNY. What I really want to do these next 12 weeks is tone this body up. I talked to the doc this morning and she wants me to lay off the weights and the any tummy exercises for TWO MORE WEEKS, these stiches have really screwed my on exercise. I get so bored with cardio and love to lift, this had let me to be pretty unmotivated to go to the gym. I bailed last night and shopped instead. Since my hubby is coming home tomorrow after 2 weeks of being a "wild hog" and riding from SF Cali to Sturgis South Dakota I plan to get all my cardio in bed this weekend. (sorry TMI..LOL) then back to the gym on Monday and hopefully he will join me. I'm thinking about buying a new swimsuit, my hella cute one I got in the begining of summer now falls off my butt when I swim...its a good thing but I love the pirate suit and I'm kinda bummed about it not fitting.

So for the rest of this week my goals are:

 To pound the water atleast 64 oz.

To eat under 1600 cals.

To buy two new sexy lingeries for Friday and Saturday (I need them for cardio..LOL)

walk on lunch breaks....**** even just TAKE A LUNCH BREAK!!

Next week and the week after:

Gym Monday, Wednesday and Friday

64 oz of water a day

Below 1600 cals.

3 weeks from now:

Gym 4 days a week WELCOME BACK WEIGHTS,

64 oz water

Below 1800 on gym days, below 1600 on lazy days

4 weeks from now:

Reassess!

I can use all your help to please keep me on track. We're going to Las Vegas in October for Bike Week and I really want my hubby to enjoy my body is some super hot biker chick gear rather than my daily jeans and t-shirt!

I hear ya! When I met my hubby I was 20 lbs overweight. I've since been losing and have 5 more to go but my twins have shrunk to a B. I am now working on my man for some fakeys!!!

What was the salt content of the food you did eat? Try to flush with lots of water over the next couple days, I'm sure its just retention! Keep up the great work, it will pay off!

I am trying to get back on track, its been so hard. After my vacay I seem to have gotten so lazy!!! Can't seem to relax after coming home from work and cooking dinner with out sitting down with a cold frosty beer....150+ cals...ugh! Finally went to the gym after almost 3 weeks of being lazy. I thought I'd feel better but instead I left feeling grubby and EWWWW! Felt good about it this morning though when I put on clothes that made me feel tiny. Got a party weekend ahead and then I'll put down the beer!

Will you please add me I am currently experiencing some accountability issues!

When you work out you muscles want to retain even more water. I had the same issue. SPent too much time at the low calorie. So I bumped up my cals to under 1800 and worked out 3-4 days instead of my 5-6. I was able to break my plateau. I think my body just needed to be shook up.

you better believe it!!! Oh and any of those diet chocolate bars that are half the sizes of a real candy bar with 1/4 of the flavor...why bother! I just stay away, not going to feed the craving with something that doesn't even come close

A while back I did a five day fast. It was not to lose weight and it certainly was not to punish myself for what I had eaten. You see I work with the homeless and I found myself sitting in the office one day and I said "damn I'm starving" well I had not eaten for 3 hours and I felt a bit of a hunger pain but you see I don't know what "starving" meant. I needed to really understand hunger pains. So I went on a five day fast using the lemon water with the syrup. I was advised by an African woman who has bee conducting this same fast twice a year since she was a small child in Africa. The first day I thought I would die, the hunger was so intense and the caffeine withdrawal was making my body hurt all over. By the morning of day three I felt amazing and so much more aware of my body and my personal strength. It takes mind over matter to control the urge to cave in and eat. It was hard work to be hungry. Be aware that you will lose weight but it is not lasting, and start back slow. I recommend 4 or 5 days if you want a cleanse, your body is addicted to foods so you need time to rid it, what it does not know it does not want, such as caffeine once I kicked the withdrawal I was able to not crave the coffee and went a month with out having any until my hubby brought me home a delicious bag of starbucks and I was like a junkie sucking it up, but you can do that with breads or chocolate.

Anyway I'm rambling, just be sure you're doingthis for the right reasons, you will immediately lose weight, you will also immediately put it back on. It does not last.

Good luck
