Hi Everyone! Glad to see so many people check in last Monday - hope there are lots of us again this week - it's really great motivation to read about how everyone else is doing.

Food/Fitness goal for this week: Do 3 runs from the "Couch to 5k" running program. Show some restraint at dinner tonight (it's my birthday dinner but not my last meal ever, so 'enjoy but go easy'...) and make sensible choices for the rest of the week.

31/08: 150 (All my fault... might be a pound or two lower once yesterday's binge digests. Never happening again!) I have never been more disappointed in myself. I was on a great track until yesterday when I went CRAZY in the kitchen. All those cookies, licorise, and frozen yogurt made me feel no where close to as good as I felt on 8/24 weighing 145.
07/09: 146 - It's not 145, but I am back on track! I know I can loose those last 2 lbs this week to meet my 1st goal.

Goal weight: 130
Motivation: Loose the weight that I gained during pregnancy before my next birthday (10/13)!
Last week I did okay - No sweets goal was met but I didn't do my cardo as I wanted. I did however find a wonderfully challenging vinyasa yoga workout and did it three times last week.
Food/Fitness goal for this week: Still no sweets - Cardo on Wednesday and Saturday. Yoga on Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday.

Hi foxxymel7- your motivations sound just like me. I too am trying to fit, not squeeze, into my size 6s right now, and I too am wanting to look good for my Europe trip this November. I see you've been very disciplined this week. Keep it up and you'll hit your goal!

well, it happens to be THAT week of the month, so the weight reflection for some reason is no good. i hope it's just THAT time's fault. however, i have been working out very well. been running 3 days a week and started going back to spin class. PLUS, i learned some killer moves for my leg day weight lifting.
Goal weight: 120-115
Motivation: going back home after a year over seas (military.)
Food/Fitness goal for this week: in addition to running 3 days a week, do spin class at least 2x a week IF NOT 4x a week. oh, and ease up on the carb consumption!

Oh hi, cc members! New to calorie count and looking to start a weekly weigh in! I'm currently in the last leg of what has been a fairly long weight loss process. My starting weight was 165. I'm now at 128. I've been maintaining for about 2 months, though, and would like to kick back into gear and lose the last 13 pounds.
*I'm adding in waist/hip/thigh measurements for my own personal motivation. running sometimes means little weight loss but significant changes in measurements*
Goal weight: 115
Motivation: Hit the long-term goal of losing 50 lbs! Get ready for dress fitting for my sister's wedding!
Food/Fitness goal for this week: 5 runs, more dark greens, no processed food or diet pop.

Wow! I am so happy for you and glad to hear your progress.
I wonder if you can tell me how tall you are.
Thanks,
Hey thanks! I'm pretty short at 5'1. My original goal weight was something along the lines of 125-130, but I just feel a little sluggish when I'm running still, like I'm not quite at optimal weight. The basic plan is to be as healthy as possible and see where I end up!
Ooh I want to join! I need a weigh in group to keep me motivated.
Goal weight: 120 (starting weight: 138)
Motivation: Complete happiness for myself. Instead of complaining about my insecurities and paranoia, I want to do something about it.
Food/Fitness goal for this week: Eat more vegetables! Also, in addition to my regular workout routine, I want to do some calisthenics every night.

I would love to join you! I was doing really well until summer came along and I lost my routine (I am a teacher) I've pretty much been stagnant since then and I'm really trying to get back into my routine, it's been difficult and I know that once I get back into it, I'll be successful.
Goal Weight: 125
Current Weight: 131
Motivation: I am taking my first tutoring check and buying some new pants. I only have a few pairs of work pants that actually fit me right now. I am also running my second 5k at the end of November so I would love to get back into the shape that I was in last Spring. Also, just generally feeling better about myself. :)
Food Goals: I am vegan and have been really bad about checking ingrediants and eating cheese when I go out to eat (I'm really upset with myself about this) So, I really want to get back into the lifestyle and count my calories. I want to eat more veggies and cook better for myself.
Fitness Goals: Run at LEAST 4 days this week along with yoga on Tuesday. Along with my usual weight and ab routine. I would also love to get home early and take my dog for our half hour walk every day, but once again this depends on really getting back into that routine.

Good morning to everyone! This has been a highly stressful week for me (back to work with nasty teens!!)... I've kept up most of my training sessions but by the week-end I was really worn out and didn't work as effectively in the gym...
On another note, does anyone have good tips for shaping abs and arms (mine are still quite flabby!)? Please any suggestion is welcome!
Goal weight: 110 lbs
Motivation: Get to my pre-children weight by my birthday (10th November)
Food/Fitness goal for this week: Go running 5 times per week and run 5 km in 30 minutes by Sunday. Food goal: don't eat chocolate biscuits!!!

Hi everyone,
I saw your post and was interested in joining. My birthday is close to the end date so I thought it would be a good motivating factor.
--------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
Goal weight: 147
Motivation: Lose weight before my birthday!
Food/Fitness goal for this week: Run 4 times this week for at least 30 min. Start doing some weights - try for 2 times this week to begin a routine. Abstain from eating on the chocolate, sweets, and wine this week.

Juliette, I understand the issue with the arms. I never even used to concern myself with my arms until a couple of years ago. A good friend of mine has beautiful arms and keeps it really simple: Push-ups and tricep dips. Myself, I need to begin a strength training routine - cardio is a pleasure. Weights are still a bit of a chore.
Good luck everyone!
Finally something has gone right! I am not quite sure how I lost so much in one week. I suppose it might be that whilst I was on the plateau I was gaining muscle and that was stopping my weight from going down. Anyway, I am a very happy bunny this week!
Goal weight: 105
Motivation: Lose the weight that I put on over the 2 years I was at boarding school before I go travelling (on a gap year atm), and hopefully by my birthday (1st November)
Food/Fitness goal for this week: Keep drinking water. Continue running and the gym.

Well i'm struggling w/ frustration. i am working really hard over here. doing tons of cardio each day (spin class 4x a week, running 3x a week), weight lifting a good amount each week, and staying with in my calorie limit for sure. and my weight is just bouncing around the same 3 numbers. arg! i feel smaller and tighter (body tape says i've lost a 1/2 inch on my waist) but the scale stays the same. maybe i'm gaining more muscle and losing fat.... but i hate looking down and seeing the scale not go any lower. *sigh* i'm just gonna keep trying, tho. maybe tweak the TYPES of food i eat while staying in the same calorie limit. SOMETHING has got to work.
Goal weight: 120-115
Motivation: going back home after a year over seas (military).
Food/Fitness goal for this week: i am already doing spin class 4x a week and lifting weights 3 days a week. but now on lifting days, it will be circuit training. which means no pauses between sets. after i finish each set, i fall to the ground and pump out push ups while my buddy does her set... and vice versa. each day will end w/ almost 150 push ups ALONG w/ weights & cardio. Food goal will be to eat more veggies.
