Week 1 Total for Christian

My internet has been having problems all week so I haven't been able to post but its working today, Yeah!  I lost 2 lbs and 1 inch so I think if I did it correctly I got 52 points.  This week has been great and I have one more workout to go.

Clarify points

Hey everyone, It looks like the points system is a little confusing.  The easiest way to keep track is to start the week with the total 49 points and then subtract when you don't do something or you cheat.  Then at the end of the week weight and measure and if you get any of the 3 bonus points then add that on to what you have left over. 

For example if I do all of the rules I have all 49 of my points at the end of the week.  Then I lose 1 pound and 1 in.  That means I get 2 bonus points and so my total for the week would be 51 points.  I hope that makes sense.  Please email me if you still have questions.

Keep up all the great work!!

Week 1 for Stacy

Was great! Love the accountability. It is amazing how it gets me on track!!! I released 3 lbs and I think I earned 59 points?? I survived my B-day and still released!!!

Focus on myself!!!

Hello!  I am Laura, one of Christian's long time friends.  I am excited to start this challenge - I hope it is the incentive I need to final start lossing not gaining.  I have 3 girls, the youngest is 7, so the baby thing is not my excuse it is the old thing.  My vice will be desserts and watching my in between meal snacks.  My goal is 7-10 pounds.  I did well this week and lost 1 pound - so my 1st week points are 50 - I am really surprised with myself and looking forward at this next week!
Hey everyone sounds like the first week has been really good overall!  Please make sure to  let us know who you are when you post so we can keep  track of how awesome everyone is doing! 
Thanks, Karin

Nana

First week went very well.  I stayed on track and lost 3 lbs.  My total points was 52.  I hope I can keep the momentum going:)

Amy's First Week

I am so excited!  I really did not eat any treats or desserts this past week (except for on my cheat day)!  I really didn't know if I could do it - I guess it really does help to have someone (or a lot of someones) to be accountable to each week.  The exercise was hard for me to find the time to do but I hurried and fed my sweet baby and finished up my last bit of exercise just before midnight!  Ha, ha!  Thank heavens for my treadmill and my patient husband.  I lost 2 lbs. so I have 51 points!  Yahoo!

Danna's end of week one

Overall the week went very well. I lost 4 lbs, ate well and DEFINITELY met my exercise requirement. My total for this week is 50 points! (dang 3 veggies a day is gonna take some discipline) This has been good for me. I am stopping to think about what I am putting into my body. Thanks Ladys

week 2 July 25

I had a good week I lost 2 lbs and a few inches on butt and waist, so my total for the week is 52.  Hope this week was as good as the first.

Later,Trish

Karin's week one

I had a good first week!  I got all my points, woohoo, and lost 4 pounds, 1.5 in on my waist and .5 on my thigh.  (Nothing on my butt this week but there is plenty of time, right??)  My total is 52!  Hope you all are doing great too and seeing some results.  Keep up the good work.

So far, so good

This is great!  I'm feeling and seeing changes already. I even had a little surgery this week and lost 5 pounds (no, I didn't get it cut off! lol!). I wasn't able to exercise a few days, but I was dilligent with everything else. I earned 45 points.  Saying affirmations have encouraged me. We are going on vacation this week, so a little tricky. I figure this is a lifestye change and I'm certainly not cutting out my vacations. I will need to plan a little more with my food and work more to fit exercise in. Here goes week two!

Hi I am Stacy

Karin's neighbor. I am soooo excited about this adventure. I so needed something to get my nutrition and exercise back on track! A year ago I did an amazing 90 day program. It was life changing. I learned so much and released 30 lbs and 33 inches. A year latter I am doing great! However the past 2 months we have had company, been out of town... And my nutrition stunk and getting back to the gym was a challenge.
Then I got the email from Karin. YEA!!!
This first week has been awesome. My nutrition A++. I feel great when I eat things that are good for me.
My vice is processed carbs ie(bread, pasta, crackers..) except for corn chips with salsa!!! No candy, desserts...

Heather's week 1

Okay, end of the first week- Just to double check my counting:  I lost 1 lb, so 1 point,  exercised 150 min, so 7, drank and ate right for 5 days, (oops, 2 cheat days;o) so 12 points,  7 for a free cheat day...for a total of 27.  Is this right?  Hmmmm it seems small.  help me out...

Let's Get Ready to Roll!!

Lose those rolls that is ;) Hi, I'm Christian, Trish's sister-in-law.  My goal is to lose 7-10 pounds.  After 3 kids I need to lose that last baby weight (I have 5 but we won't count the first and last since the first one was 19 years ago and the last one was adopted)  My vice is sugar, basically desserts and candy.  I'm excited!

Thursday, July 21, 2011

Hi, this is Heather...

Okay, thanks to Eric(you weren't home, Kari) I finally figured out how to post!  Yay for me.  I am NOT a blogger- so this is my first ever post.  So I am a mother of 4, and would like to get my body back to where it once was, as much as possible.  I always told myself that when I was done having babies I would be more proactive, and that day has arrived!  My goal is to lose 7-10 lbs and pass the pencil test.  (your butt and inner thigh not able to hold a pencil between the two of them.)  Lofty, I know, but I'm shooting for the moon.  My vice is all things junk.  Sweets, saltys, everything.  Good luck to all!

Week 1 July 18, 2011

Hello everyone I'm Trish.  Kari's sister.  My vice this time around is still every kind of junk food.  i.e.  No salty chips, crackers, preztels, cheetos, no chocolate, candy dessert, basically nothing that is bad for you.  Again I am giving myself no cheat day, it worked well for me last time so I am doing it that way again.  My goal is to lose a little more and also maintain.  I just want to look Super HOT when my husband gets home for leave and home home too.  Good luck everyone, Later, Trish

Have a Great First Week!

Hello everyone, I am Karin or Kari (I go by both).  I too, like many of you have already posted struggle with my weight and love candy, treats, desserts, etc.  I like to work out and have been doing so consistently for years but I tend to go through phases where my eating is great and I look great and then my eating is crap and I gain 25 pounds.  I am a Beachbody Coach for about a year and a half now and I really enjoy trying to help people reach their health and fitness goals.  My long term goal is to be a great example to my children about living a healthy life. 

Trish and I just finished a 90 day challenge and I was able to lose 15 pounds and I am very happy with those results.  We decided to do another challenge because we liked being accountable for what we put in our mouths!!  My goal over this 90 days is to lose 15 pounds and lose at least 3 inches off my butt.  My vice is going to be candy, treats, desserts.  I'm excited for everyone involved and I know we can do anything we put our minds to!  Have a great first week.

Karin

Cyndee's post

Hi all,  My name is Cyndee and I am Karin and Tricia's mom.  My vice is eating junk when I read and I read a lot, so consequently I need to not eat when I read.  My goal is to get looking better so I can buy a swim suit.  We will be going to the Texas gulf on a convention in October and I want to be able to wear a swim suit instead of knee shorts on the beach.

Lifestyle Change

Hi, I'm Melanie. This is a wonderful opportunity!  I think this accountability will serve me well. This is a head game for me. I want to conquer my emotions. The emotions I feel from my extra weight are just not healthy. However, I continue to emotionally eat. At 40, I am recognizing this is not just about my pants size anymore. I want to live long, be healthy and strong, be a good example to my children, and spiritually free myself from this food addiction so I can grow. In my head I know change is possible, but in my heart I fear I will fail...again. I am implementing positive affirmations, an exercise schedule, and planning my meals. My vice is negative self talk. I am losing 20 pounds over 90 days. I have a beautiful hope filled book about becoming. One page states, She went out on a limb, it broke, and she learned she could fly. Let's fly girls!

OK...Here I go!!!

Hi, everybody! I'm Shanna! Quite a bit like Danna, I too am an addict.... an addict of sugar and anything delicious. I am also an emotional eater, which has been a very big struggle for me. A little about myself.... I have struggled with weight since second grade. My weight has been on a consistent rollercoaster, and I have consequently been diagnosed with some early stages of different health problems. I started my weight loss journey 18 months ago, losing 104 lbs, but I still have 21 to go. These last pounds are a huge struggle for me. Thank you for letting me be part of this challenge! This is, I hope, what I need to finish out my journey.
OK...I have several vices: sugar, grazing/binge eating, etc.  The one I chose to focus on here is my problem with grazing/binge eating. My goal is to not eat anything I do not account for. I will, however, also be setting a goal to limit my sweets to no more than 200 calories on a regular day, and one regular dessert on cheat day. My weight loss goal is to lose at least ten pounds during this challenge.

Nana

This is a new experience for me and I am so excited to have some motivation to stay on track.  Since I went through menopause I have gained lbs. that I definitely do not want to entertain anymore!  I would like to loose a couple dozen of them.  My grandkids call me Nana and I tend half of them everyday so their parents can work without the expence of daycare.  I enjoy them but I would like to have more energy to keep up with them, that is why I have picked up on this challenge.  I am looking forward to happier, healthier days to share with my little kiddos.  My addiction is also SUGAR:) I even think the word is beautiful!  So, that is what I am going to battle against.  My hubby likes to bring home doughnuts every Friday and all my kids and grandkids come--I just need them to finish them off!  There always seems to be just a few left at the end of the day and I am the one who cleans up at the end of the day.  But now I will find another way to "clean up" the doughnuts!  I wish you all the best.  I will confess that I am not doing this for the kitty pot--I am doing it so I can have the energy and health to enjoy my grandkiddos!  Kudos to you all for your efforts, Marsha:)

At dawn... A new day begins... One without sugar :(

So it begins... I'm Danna, and I'm an addict... oh wait, is this a meeting?? Nevermind. Seems to me like Amy and I are going to have a lot in common. I too just had a baby, and he was also my fourth (though I have two boys and two girls) and if you had seen me eat during my pregnancy you'd know that my TRUE vice is food. But, since I can't starve, I'll tackle the most challanging for me, and that is sugar. At the end of my pregnancy I was 75 lbs over my "normal" weight. YEAH. I've got some work to do. So far I have lost about half of what I would like to lose and my goal for this challage is to lose another 15 lbs. It's going to be an adventure. Thanks, Karin, for the challange. It's gonna be on heck of a ride!
