Monday Accountability / Support

Carla1019

Good morning everyone!

How was your week? Did you meet your weight loss goal or have a set back? Learn anything new you would like to share or have any questions or concerns?

Me: I'm feeling really good lately. I'm focusing on losing inches not necessarily weight. My size 6 skinny jeans just slipped on with no problems! YAY!!! I did my happy dance while FI looked at me like I was crazy. They just don't understand!

Question: What are you looking forward to the most once you achieve your ultimate weight loss goal?

Hi!

Last week was really good. I am .5 pounds away from my goal weight but I still have some toning that I want to do. One thing that really works for me is keeping track of what I eat. I could tell a difference last week as opposed to the week before when I was acting a plumb fool and killing chips and eating else with salt on it.

I'm most looking forward to being confident in a two-piece on our honeymoon. Watch out now!

I lost 4 lbs since the last time that I weighed myself. So I am now 4 lbs away from my goal weight. I think when I reach my goal, I will start toning a little harder than I am attempting to do right now. Like PP said, I'm trying to look good in my bikini for my honeymoon.

Whoo hoo congrats Carla! I know what you mean when those jeans go on easy LOL Congrats to you as well Monet! Mrs.T you are almost there!!

I'm good on the weight loss I'm working on toning which I did NONE of last week. This week will be better I promise!

I'm looking forward to wearing my arms out all the time once I get them together. I always refer to myself as having "meaty arms" and I am self conscious about wearing tanks and dresses that may expose my upper arms. So I'll be glad when I can go sleeveless and wave my arms in the air without all the jiggling.

Thanks MrsBoss! I agree the arms are so hard to tone up and trying to work the bottom part of the arm is harder for me than the triceps (hopefully I'm using the right word)

I have naturally broad shoulders so this doesn't help my total appearance at all.

Great job everyone! I lost 3 lbs last week which puts me at 11lbs lost total! I started a new ab workout that I am excited about too. Hanging in the air while using stomach muscles to pull legs to chest and straight out in fron of me....I did this last Wednesday and I am still feeling it! I have no goals for this week....just hoping I can do something, just still watching what I eat and making sure I drink a lot of water!!

Ive been doing so bad since I started this new job...  All I do is sit on my fat arse all day long.  I have to figure out my cal change now.... shm

Woo hoo! To all of the goals met My King and I will start Insanity tonight! I am so excited!

This is my lunch for today...Chicken Caesar Salad (no cheese, no croutons) with cucumbers. The dressing is so light and tasty!

I look forward to checking in every Monday I  will weigh myself when I get home.

My overall goal until our wedding day? 30lbs

I have an office job too and I sit down all day behind a computer. What helps me is to take at least a 10 or 15 minute break and walk up and down the stairs. If you don't have stairs than around the building outside. If other employees can get away with 2 or 3 smoke breaks a day than they shouldn't mind if I do a few exercise breaks.

HardyLove222 - you have 11 months. You can lose the 30 pounds = 2.7 lbs a month.

You got this!!!

HardyLove222

Carla 1019- Thanks! I'm determined :)

That's a good idea! I just heated up my Healthy Choice (those have been helping keep me on track with my calories) and got caught doing leg raises in the breakroom. (oh well, get it tight, keep it right lol!)
