Ok so I'm hanging my head in shame... my measurements are still the same from two weeks ago and I have only lost 1 lb 9 ozs
But my hubby said he can see a difference so maybe it's toning that I've been doing because I did drop a pants size... This is weird!

That's great news!!!!
I'm not losing pounds like I want. I am shedding some inches though but I need that scale to move!!!
I'll probably only have lost 1-2 pounds by the end of this challenge but at least I'm still doing the workouts regularly and haven't given up so I'm very proud of myself... Even my hubby said to keep up whatever I'm doing!

Great Day to all!!!

I had a wonderful 2 hour workout session. Today focus was arms and abs. I weighed in at 191.4, getting closer to the 180's mark. I just have to remember I didn't put this weight on overnight, so I can't expect it to come off overnight.

Be blessed and make it happen for you.

Just reflect on why you joined this site in the first place and what made you decide to change your lifestyle? Why is it important to you? Why have you suddenly stopped? Remember this is about you and you have the ultimate choice. You are worth it Queen! I know if you put your heart into it, the rest will follow. So you didn't exactly follow a specific regimen last week, so now you can pick up where you left off. If you want to. I wish you the best....

Question about measurements??

When it comes to waist do you measure above the belly button or below? I was not sure so I did both.

Neck= 14"
Hips= 42"
Arms= 14"
Chest= 36"
Waist above belly button= 31.8" (I like this one better lol)
Waist below 38"

I'm in. I didn't weigh myself b/c I let my brother borrow my scale and he will give it to me Sunday. So I guess I'll weigh in once I have it. Or wait till next Friday? I am planning on doing 1 hour cardio today. Tae Bo to be precise since its raining out and I can't go out to the park. Thanks for this. I know this can be that extra umph to kick some inches and pounds out!
I'll be back with my measurements at least. Got to find that tape measure... hmmmmm.....

Good afternoon ladies!

I'm excited. I lost 2.6 lbs going from 209-206.4 this week and loss a combined 1" Although the inches are taking so long to come off, I actually see the difference so I don't know what's going on there.

Had a good day, did 55 min cardio and about 15 min strength training.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Good morning,

Day was pretty good yesterday, spent 70 min cardio and about 20 min. strength training. My caloric intake wasn't bad either, still not under my weekly goal, but not over my set goal, so I guess I'm not complaining.

This is my check in for yesterday, I'll check in again this evening.

Have a wonderful day everyone

I had a really great day! I did 70 min of cardio and 20 min of strength training. I also did well with my caloric intake and had a little over 80 calories to spare. I think the way I rationed the food helped me with that today and I hope I can keep this up

I'm struggling right now. My calories are fine, although not what I wanted for today (I'm trying to do 900 calories a day for this week and did 177 over today) and didn't go to the gym due to my heavy AF. I feel horrible, and am tempted to work out for 4 hours tomorrow, but don't want any accident!

Anyways, I'm still motivated and determined and looking forward to a satisfying number on Friday!
