Summer 2008 Bikini body Group -- Group closed, sorry

I fell off the wagon for a good three months and I have gained some weight. I am motivated to form or join a group so we can support each other to lose those extra pounds.

my plan is

1- weigh-in each Monday.

2- We will announce a winner each week. Whoever will earn the highest score.

3- Every day, you have 10 points total of 70 by the end of the week. 5 points if you stick to your healthy eating plan, the other 5 points if you managed to complete your workout.

3- post your stats and goals.

4- we will start tomorrow Jan 28, 2008. please post your stats either today or tomorrow.

5- we will follow CC guidelines so the challenge will be moving to the GAMES section.

6- we will end the challenge on May 1st. Hopefully by that time, everyone will be ready for a NEW BIKINI:)

Hope to hear from you soon. Good luck.

Today's weight: 128 (so far so good! :) )

I  have kept to my diet all week: 35 points

I exercised from Friday to Sunday AND I walked all day: 15 points

AND the elevator was broken at my godparents (where I was staying all week end): 7th floor by stairs 5 to 6 times a day! 

i had a bad week binging. i'm only at 60 pts.

hopefully this week will go better.

I am at 182 this week that is 3 lbs down

exercised 3x this week:15

ate good everday:35

Okay, let's see...

Starting weight= 145

Today's Weight= 142.6 (sweet!)

Diet: 30... Went over a bit on Friday, drinking with the buddies (although I didn't eat anything too awful, just a lot of popcorn!)

Excersize: 35 (I'm telling you, this is the easy part for me! I did an hour every day.)

 So, 65 points? Although I probably didn't drink enough water and I know I didn't get to the gym early any of those days, haha... I'm still pretty happy with that!

CW: 198 (2/4/08)

Exercise: 30

Calories:  30

Total: 60 pts 

I didn't go totally crazy eating Sunday, but boy did I want to.  I think Sunday is always my worst day.  I better be careful with the weigh ins being on Monday.  Hope that was the reason for only one pound loss.

So here's my update

SW: 158 lbs. CW: 157 lbs.

although I only lost a pound, I'll take it considering I wasn't too good this week

Food: 20pts

Exercise: 25pts.

Total 45pts.

I am glad to hear from everyone. I am sure that the second week will be better. :)

Starting:194

Now: 186...groovy! Most of it is water weight, I suppose.

Workout: 30 points
Food: 25 points.

Total: 55 points

safina, i feel your pain. if i'm going to slip up, it's almost always on the weekend. my problem is that i get bored. during the week, i'm running around doing errands and getting to class while fitting in workouts, but during the weekends i have time to sit around and think about food, ha. so i try to keep really busy by doing stuff during the day (going to the museum, putting on a movie and FOCUSING on it instead of food, going for a long walk, going on a trip somewhere, whatever.. or even if i know i'm going to have to be sitting around doing nothing, like when i have a lot of homework, i'll go to the library so i can't be eating. at least that way if and when i drink, which is another one of my problems, i haven't been noshing all day and then feel guilty, you know?) whoa- long parenthetical addon there. anyway, hope that helps!

so i went to try and buy my "goal bikini" this weekend, and the only place where i found any i liked, target, wouldn't let you take bikini bottoms into the dressing room! only the tops! which is like... why would i buy this if i cant try it on? and also, i thought the rule was just to keep your undies on underneath? that's what i've always done when trying on bathing suits!

so, still motivated... but still bikini-less :(

Yeah! Congrats to everyone this week! :) 

Emily: pity for the bikini... But, there's always a way if this is THE bikini you want (need? ;)). You can order it online (I know, it is a bit more of a hassle than to buy it off the rack). You can try it at home, take the pic, and if you're not satisfied, just return it. Or you can try a different store if there are many in your area: not all store employees are that picky.

I will post my picture as soon as I get one done (today probably). Who's with me on that?

Hey petite_chicago, I posted my picture today.  Eek!  I'm glad it's January and there's time to change some really bad habits and actually find a bikini that works for my figure.  But you've got to start somewhere, right? :-)

Ingrid you're gorgeous!

I am posting my picture today (I took yesterday with my webcam and now, I have to extract it from the movie... I SHOULD get a digital cam, shouldn't I? :D)

I have problems finding bikinis that fit me too, as most don't make tops in my size...

 

Edited to add: Photos are up. Thank you for posting yours too Ingrid. This is very motivating for me :) As you -and the world!- can see, I need some serious toning ...  

Okay sorry off the topic, but where did you guys get the models that show your weight.  That is really neat

OK Nevermind I figured it out after a little looking around

thanks anyway

I forgot to post my weight/points on Monday...sorry for the delay:

SW: 135

CW: 132

Food Points: 25

Exercise Points: 25

This wasn't a good week, mostly due to the weekend being Mardi Gras and Superbowl.  However, when I DID exercise and eat right, it felt great :) I'm already doing better this week!

hello everyone.

great to hear from you. let us do better this week. I believe it is going to be better than the first week. the beginning is always hard but once we started, we should be ok:)

keep me updated.....

ok everyone. please get ready to post your results on Monday. how was your week so far?

Thanks for the motivation Safina. I sure need it this week. I have felt like I needed chocolate and cookies these past few day :( But I am slowly starting to do better on exercise. How about everyone else?
