Nana's 5th and 6th weeks

Life got a little hectic and I didn't post.  I seem to be on a plateau with weight but I am feeling better inside.  Week 5 was 52points(3 inches lost) and week 6 was 49 points.  That makes a running total of 307.  Trying harder this week:)  Marsha

Danna's Week 6

43 points. 3 lbs lost. I can't stay away from sugar. I've all but given up trying. Still not gonna quit the challenge, though. I need something to motivate me to not totally fall off the band wagon.

Laura's 6th week

Baggie pants this week, felt great.  I knew something has changed.  I lost 1 lb and 2 inches!!!! this week is 52 points with a total of 302.  I am so excited I did not even want ice cream when everyone else was having some.  I like the small changes but wish they were a little bigger.

Karin's week 6

I had a good week.  I did my Shakeology cleanse and lost 2 pounds and 1 inch so that is great!  We'll see if I can keep up my streak and continue to lose.  Every week I am getting closer to my goal!  Yay!  Can you believe we are half way through the challenge?!  That is awesome!  Points for the week 52 and total points 309.

Stacy's week 4, 5 and 6

I really need to get on and post every Monday!!!
I have been eating all sorts of treats B-day parties the fair... this, that...
that is the story of my life!!!
Nutrition!!! I loose it then gain it back...
So here we go again.
I was listening to a thing last night and it said SUGAR is your enemy!!! and anything that turns to sugar.
Week #4 48
week #5 44
week #6 42
grand total:  286

Heather, week 6

Well, this week I cheated more than ever.  I now have two weeks to really make a huge difference!  My husband and I are getting away for the 3rd time since we've had children.  Thanks, Gma Cyndee:o)  So I want to look super hot.  I almost pass the pencil test, but not quite.. COme on!!!  I am going to be doing the Barzilian  butt lift like crazy for the next two weeks!  46+221=267

Amy's Week Five

Every day this week I have thought, "I need to post!"  It just never happened, it wasn't that great of a week - no lbs. lost and 2 cheat days.  47 points.

Heather week 5

Last week was a bad cheat week.  Treats, go away!  But I still lost a pound.. for 46 points.  A total of 221. 

Laura Week 5

Well.... not much has changed. Doing everything right but not seeing results I need to up the exercise I think.  I ran yesterday and my back actually feels better today than it has in a few weeks.  I lost  1/2 inch which I can't count yet so only 49 points this week making my total 250.

Karin's week 5

This was a great week for me!  My plan to cut back to only 1 healthy carb per day let me break that stupid plateau and I lost 2 pounds and 1 inch!  Woo hoo!  My point total for the week is 52.  I am hoping that this next week will be a good one too since I am doing my 3 day Shakeology cleanse.  I am excited to see how it helps push me along.  I think, but might be wrong, that my total points are 257.  I am really proud of everyone this challenge!  It sounds like so many of you are really seeing results and paying attention to working out and eating more healthy!  Great job everyone.  Keep it up.

Karin

Danna's week 5

I only got 35 points this week. My grand total is: 218. I think sugar will be the death of me.

Christian Week 4

Really late on posting my basement has flooded 3 times this week so its been a crazy week.  Luckily only once bad but caught it the 2 other times before it flooded bad.  I lost 1.5 pounds and 1/2 inch so if I'm doing this correctly (sorry 1/2 through me off) my points would be 51.  Sorry don't have running total.  I'll total it up for the next post.

Dann's week 4

This last week flew by. I can't believe I forgot to post. My week 4 I lost 3 lbs so my total points are 49. That makes the grand total 183. I will post my point etc for week 5 tomorrow after I weigh in (and I don't think it will be good :(

Heather, Week 4

This has been a better week as far as control goes- only one cheat day, and a case of the stomach flu.  This is good for weight loss, but bad for getting my work-outs in... so I got 43 points, for a total of 175.  I am trying to keep my stomach size small, so far so good.......

Laura Week 3/4

Had a hard week 3 being at girls camp.  Did not have time to weigh before I left.  I did not lose any weight but did plenty of hiking and fun exercising and maintained!!  So week 3 total is 49.  Week 4 I did lose 1 lb. so total is 50, total of all 4 weeks is 201.  Kids started school so I am hoping with a tighter schedule I will be more focused on me.

Amy's Week Four

I am late posting this week!  I lost 2 lbs. and 2 inches - yea!  I lost lbs. despite my husband eating a cupcake, Skittles, Laffy Taffy, and chips as I used the treadmill!  I told him he should have joined this challenge - but he doesn't have any weight to lose (he obviously needs to eat better though!)  It's 52 points for me this week.

Melanie

So, I'm back on the map. I've maintained my weight after my schedule got screwy-gaining a few then losing them again.  I am over an inch smaller everywhere which is encouraging. I'm happy that my head is still in the game and I keep picking myself up. My total points are 149. I'm keepin' on! 

Nana

Week 4: points for me is 50 for a total of 206.  I'm going to try and not have a cheat day this next week:)
My weight is basically staying around the same but I managed to loose a couple of inches.  Marsha

Karin's week 4

I've officially hit a plateau with weight loss.  I have stayed exactly the same for 3 weeks now but my inches continue to drop so that is good.  I have a plan for this week and then next week since it is my rest week in work outs (but not really a rest week just not as intense working out) I will be doing a 3 day cleanse - where I even get to eat all my fruits and veggies.  No starvation cleanses for me!!  Anyway I think by doing these two things I will overcome this plateau and move down on the scale.  My points this week are 51, I lost 2 inches.  My point total is 205.  Keep it up ladies and Eric!!
Karin

Shanna's end of week 3/4

Hi! This is Shanna. Things are going ok so far with this challenge for me. The really ridiculus thing is that I struggle with the fruits and vegetables. It really shouldn't be so hard, but it apparrently is for me. I have decided to adopt another vice, one even more challenging for me at the recommendation of my trainer. I will not be having unhealthy sugars for this challenge (yep, I'm right there with you, Danna, even if it kills me!). I haven't been very good at posting, but here is what the first few weeks have looked like:

Week 1: 39 points; no bonus points- I had a weight gain :(
Week 2: 44 points; I got 3 additional points for a weight loss :)
Week 3: 36 points; no bonus points- weight gain
Week 4 (still in progress): 38 points so far; I will calculate in today's points later- I had a 5 pound weight loss this week! :)
That brings my total so far to 157 points with today's to be added in later.

Christian, Week 3

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over
and over again and expecting different results".
– Albert Einstein

This week was harder for me but I still got everything in.  I think I need to make my workouts harder and have more intervals.  That's why I like this quote.  It helps to remind me that I can't do the same workout over and over and expect to get results.  I need to change it up.  I still got my minutes in. I only lost 1.5 pounds and 2 inches.  I definetely took my cheat day since we had a family reunion over the weekend but didn't over indulge and stayed away from it on Friday.  I don't have as much will power as Trish ;)   My points for the week are 52 I need to double check with the points but I'm pretty sure I got everything.

Christian

Eric 3rd week

Didn't lose anything but got all my points.  49 points.  102+49=151.

Amy's Week Three

My total was 101.  This week I lost 1.5 lbs. and 2 in., yeah!  However, with going to 2 baby showers, Park City (Harry and David's Mondo Mint Malt Balls - YUM!), and making a really pretty layered ice cream dessert for our Sunday dinner with guests, I had 2 cheat days - again.  My point total is now 152.

Heather, week 3

This was a hard week for me.  I am hoping for a rebound this week.  95 + 37= 132

Trish week 3 Aug. 1

Well this week was good, I lost 3 lbs and I even went to a family reunion where there was tons of junk and I didn't eat any of it.  I hope everyone is having fun taking better care of themselves to stay healthy.  Later,Trish

Karin's week 3

I had a really great week this week.  My mother in law was in town and although we did lots of fun stuff and there was always unhealthy stuff around I did not cheat until my cheat day so good job me!!  I finally, finally lost 1 in off my butt!  Woo Hoo!!!!  I lost a total of 3 in but I am most proud and happy about the one off my behind!  No pounds though.  Oh well, as long as the inches keep coming off I am doing good.  My total for the week is 52.  Running total is 154.  Keep it up ladies.  You can do it! 
Karin

Nana's week 3

So we took a trip to Yellowstone and I thought I was really going to  be in trouble but I was surprized at the way I could find menu items that were compatible with my food restrictions.  So while my family enjoyed their fatty and sugary cusine, I was delightedly keeping with salads and fish and grilled chicken and cool refreshing H 2 O.  Hiking around and climbing steep trails I was able to loose one pound and 2 inches.  My running total for this week is 156:)           Marsha

Danna's Week 3

Three or four cheat days a week is going to have to stop. The most lame thing is I do great during the day but lose it at like 7 pm. I can workout like a crazed maniac, but I have always struggled with my diet. And for anyone that had any doubt... I am living proof that diet is 80% of how you look. Anyway. I have 41 points for this week. If I add righ,t that makes my total is 134!?
Good luck to everyone still in this fight. I'm glad to see there are women staying much stronger than me. You are all amazing.
Danna

Stacy's week 2 and week 3

Week 2   I got 52 points.
Week 3   I am going to change my weigh in day to Sat. Monday mornings are not as good!!!
this week I got 48. I did not release any weight. And had desseret last night.  
So my total so far is 52,52, & 48= 152

Heather, Week 2

49 + 46 = 95

Laura's Week 2

Very surprised that I have seen any results, yeah!!!  I always knew if I was determined enough I might loss some of the weight.  I lost 1 lb and little over 2 inches, so.... I have 52 points this week=102 so far.  The future looks brighter.

Trish week 2 july 25

Well I did good this week, I actually did have a cheat day I made some cookies and I ate some.  My first really in months.I lost 2 lbs so 51pts.  Go me.

later, Trish

Christian Week 2

This week I thought it would be hard with two family parties but luckily there weren't a lot of desserts only one at each so I didn't have any at one family party (didn't look so good to me to even think about it) and the other I took my cheat day on one little brownie. :)  I lost 3 pounds and 1 inch.  So my total is 52 points.  Grand total 104.   This week I think I'll have to push my workouts harder the one today didn't seem to kill me like it did last week.  I could actually get up off the ground and move unlike last week where I was crawling for a drink of water lol.

Amy's Second Week

I say "amen" to what Danna said, this week was a lot harder!  I ate a treat with my family for Family Home Evening after we went mini golfing, so I was going to use that for my cheat day.  However, we then went to Lagoon a few days later and I wanted to try funnel cake . . . I have NEVER tried it before and it was calling my name: Amy, Amy, I am delicious, come and taste me.  Curse you funnel cake and curse you Lagoon!  I  had two cheat days, I didn't lose any pounds, but I did lose an inch on my thighs and an inch on my waist.  So is that one point or two?  Anyway, I have either 49 or 50 points this week.

Nana's week 2

I used my cheat day this week for my birthday party==ate all the food offered at my family's Surprize Birthday Party for me, including jello, dutch oven potato and BBQ chicken, pasta pasta dish, and I even ate some of my birthday cake with ice-cream.(only one serving of each!)  My family was happy for me but secretly I wondered how my points were going to be.  Another big surprize==I lost a pound and 2 inches.  Maybe it will show up on my 3rd week since my party was the very last day of week 2.  Oh well, my points were 52 so I am at 104.  Keep going, everyone:)  Marsha

Danna's Week 2

This week has been a lot harder. I always seem to feel all my cravings come back with a vengeance after a week or so of eating well. I kinda fell apart over the weekend, indulging in my vice 4 days this week. :-(  Somehow, I still managed to lose 2 lbs (I don't measure inches) so that gave me a little boost. My total for the week is only 43 points. My clothes are fitting more loose though, so I know my body is still changing. Hopefully I can improve this week. Kinda frustrating that even with the large variety of fresh vegetables I have access to, I'm still having such a hard time getting my 3 a day. I still have much work to do. I am not giving up.

Eric and point totals

Hi I'm Eric, My wife (Karin) is writing this because I am too busy to do it and also because I don't want to.  I work from home right now promoting a new Joseph Smith film that will be released in Utah in the fall.  You should all come see it when it is released!  Ok, enough of the commercial. 

I am a Beachbody Coach and have done P90X and other beachbody programs multiple times.  I am redoing P90X right now.  I love it!  I has definitely changed my life in many ways.  (By the way, if Eric was actually writing this it would be much more funny and witty, so sorry.) 

My goals for this challenge are to lose 15 pounds of body fat.  My vice is talking crappy about myself or negatively about myself and my talents.  The first week I lost 2 pounds and 2 inches and had all the points so my total was 52.  This week I didn't lose any weight but lost 1 inch so my total is 50.  Grand total 102. 
This has been good for me to get back into healthy eating.  Good luck everyone!
Eric

Karin's week two

So pretty good week.  I am doing really good with all the points.  My only difficult day was Monday because I wanted to eat everything in site but I stuck to only healthy things in site instead of the crap that I wanted. :-)  I didn't lose any weight this week, just stayed the same but I lost 1 in.  Still nothing around  my big bahuda but I will be patient.  Still 10 weeks to go!!  Hope you all had a great second week too.  My point total is 50.  Grand total 102.
Karin
