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.

by the way... still emily, just changed the username.

irothell, maybe mandee's? i remember seeing that store in the mall and they always had all sorts of bathing suits. at least if i'm thinking of the right place!

Original Post by irothell:

Does anyone know of some good places to look for bikinis that would fit someone who doesn't have a flat chest? I just got off Target's website and all the models were really thin and flat chested. I can't get away with that! I also checked Penneys, Khols, Lands End, Chadwicks, and Victoria Secret. Any ideas?

I have that exact problem: I need a 32F bra!!!

I bought my two piece (the one from the pic) from Figleaves. The prices are good and the choice -considering how hard it is to find this size- is good.

Hope this helps.

 

Didn't do so well last week, but I did have a number of forces working against me (took very stressful exam, had period, went on vacation). 

I'm happy to say that this was the first week that I met my exercise goals!! So there are 35 points.

I ate fine until Friday -- the weekend was bad. 20 points for poor eating on vacation.

Starting weight (Jan 28): 126.4
Last week:    125
Today: 126

I hope that's a temporary bump - it seems ridiculous that I would gain a pound after 3 days of unhealthy eating (especially since I exercised each of those days).

 

I did loose lots of weight this week (more than 3 lbs), but it was caused by a nasty stomach bug I caught Tuesday. So I have been eating really little (O cal on Wednesday, about 300 on Thursday, etc.) I am just not going to count any points this week.

 

Edited to add: Congrats Sakhmet on the exercise!!! :D  At your weight, I wouldn't worry too much about the fluctuation from week to week, probably due to you putting on some lean muscle!

Thanks petite_chicago. Hope you get well soon!

I'm not weighing today due to weird medical stuff going on.  I catch up next week. :-)

Exercise points for the week: 35

Eating points: 27

Total: 62 points for the week

Yay! Despite some minor setbacks I had a really really good week!

Starting weight= 145

Last week= 142.6

Today= 138!! Whooa! (Thank you TOTM for finally leaving me in peace, and taking all that bloat with you.)

Diet: 25... Er, yeah. Eating's the hard part for me. I just... love... food. So. Much.

Excersize: 35! Whoop whoop.

60 points. Not great, but I'm pretty excited over my weight, so I'll take it :)

So I did a little better this week in terms of eating, only over eat on 2 days, but exercise was another issue, I only got 3 days done of six.  I think I need to re-think my plan and come up with something that is more integrated with my everyday activities.  All in all I’m at 45 points, which at least is an improvement on last week and I also managed to maintain my current weight of 157 lbs.  I have to say I’ve was stuck at 160 lbs. for so long that I’m pretty thrilled to be at 157; I have to double check just to believe it.

I’ll be traveling for the next week and a half, so I wont be able to report in next Monday.  I know that my diet is going to get missed up, but I will at least try not to over eat too much.  I just hope to come back at the same weight as I am now.  If I manage that I will be happy.

Starting: 178

Last week: 173

Today: 170 (Woo!)

My eating was great this week but I can only count about 15 points for exercizing. So that puts me at 50 for the week. 

themachine (cool username, by the by...)- your pictures are so freaking inspiring! you look amazing, really. and by the way, i love the tattoo on your arm. the colors are really pretty :)

 

I can't seem to get motivated to exercise. I did great this week with my food goals (I averaged 1363 cals for the week), but I only managed to exercise 1 day (out of a goal of 4 days/week). It's frustrating. So my score for last week is the lowest yet: 44 points.

Starting weight (1/28): 126.4
Last week (2/18): 126
Current weight: 124.2

S O O O O    S L L O O O W  . . . . .  

 

I'm 131.8 today.  I haven't lost weight really, but I feel very solid and I'm liking my body right now, especially since it got me through a 4.8 mile race tomorrow in 37.5 minutes! 

Exercise points: 35

Food: 30

Total: 65 The best I've done so far!

Some of my deficits haven't been that big, but I need to eat more when I'm running an event, so I'm fine with that.  I only binged once!

sorry ladies. I am doing very bad these days.

will report later. I hope you continue doing this. Keep it up.

Hey safina, I know it can get really discouraging some weeks for me too.  I know that you can do it though!

Thanks irothell. I appreciate the support. Yesterday was a very bad day because the scale read 180. I was actually between 170-175. my clothes get tighter and the bikini has become a dream.

do you know that I have never had a bikini before :)

I want everybody in this challenge to succeed. Hopefully, we will hear from the others soon.

Safina, I feel your pain. I binged really badly both Saturday and Sunday. I think going home, seeing my mom, and being put through the emotional ringer (gotta love those guilt trips!) just totally did me in. Sorry guys, I couldn't even bring myself to step on the scale on Monday. Like, seriously, Sunday was possibly one of the worst I've ever had. I ate so much I honestly thought I was going to vomit and I gave myself a raging headache. I also passed out without doing any homework. So, anyway... not good. I'm just starting to debloat now, after two days of serious workin' out and seriously clean eating. I'll weigh in again next week when I'm feeling a little more human sized.

 Although... I did buy a bikini! I'm going to post a pic soon, it's so unbelievably cute! Target did me right after all, I just had to go to a non-Brooklyn store haha

edit: er, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, that is. I am shamed. Sigh.

woman_king: Hurray on finding a bikini!  Can't wait to see a picture of it.

I won't be weighing in or posting on Monday because Hubby and I are flying to Michigan tonight and won't be back until Monday evening.  I imagine it will be somewhat disorrienting to fly someplace where it's 30 degrees.  It's been very summer-ish here.

Anyway, good luck to all of you over the weekend.  You can do it!  And I'm right there with you... binged last night and felt horrible.  Definitely trying to get myself back together today! :-P

I feel like this group may have died :/
