Biggest Loser Season 8 Challenge

Re: Biggest Loser Season 8 Challenge


Hey hey now! So glad to see you guys get those stats up.....hopefully we will see more pics and stats posted this week...I may have to get into PM mode, to see what's up with that?????

Unless I have a serious whoosh overnight (literally), I probably won't be making this week's goal. I have been fluctuating like crazy all week long, and it's not lookin too good over here. I can tell the inches are melting off though, and if it weren't for that I'd be really upset. I also have to consider that fact that I attend a weight training class 3-4 times a week. Originally, I'd planned on setting my weekly weigh-in goals at 5lbs, but I may have to drop that down to 3, if the scale doesn't start moving pretty soon. I hate going backwards, but I would be setting myself up for failure, if I kept my weekly goal at 5lbs, knowing that I'm just not losing that fast right now. Normally, around this time, I'd be ready to throw in the towel.. but I am really pleased with my inches lost and the definition I'm starting to see in my abs, legs and arms. I'm seriously thinking about dropping down to 2-3 weight training classes a week and focus more on cardio, to help get me losing!

Can't wait for tomorrow's show, although I won't be watching it until Wednesday after my meeting......Good Luck Losers!

LET'S GET THE REST OF THOSE PICS/STATS UP LADIES!

Re: Biggest Loser Season 8 Challenge

I am so frustrated! This is my first time in 15 weeks of this WOE to not lose a single pound. In fact, I gained 3!! I'm dropping back down to induction this week and I'm going to keep exercising twice a day. At least my clothes don't feel tight, so I'm pretty sure I'm not gaining any fat. Can't figure out what I did different (besides more exercise) and why I would be gaining instead of losing. Obviously I didn't work hard enough! Next week my goal is 5 pounds again--the 3 that I put on this week and then 2 more.

I just saw this thread! I'm a bit late, but will cheer everyone on!
I love watching the show, it really shows what you can do. Even though they have trainers and thats really their job for the time they are there, they still have to do it!

I've been struggling with unexplained gains myself...I also workout a lot and I'm beginning to thing that I'm not getting enough calories in each day...that's the only other thing I can think of

Hello Missy!

You are more than welcome to join, there is no time limit on joining this challenge...we all need to lose. If you're up for measurements and pics, get em posted, and you're in!

=====================================
I lost .4lbs this week, and that was it. I'll take that over a gain though...so I'm .4lbs down so far. I honestly do believe I havent been getting enough calories in.. I'm gonna test that theory this week, and see if the scale gets moving again.

Re: Biggest Loser Season 8 Challenge

I gained half a pound. This morning I weigh 159 lbs. I did get all my water in yesterday so maybe its water weight. Anyway, I will keep trying. Congratulations to all those who met their goal and for the rest of us, better luck next week! Hang in there everybody!

P.S.
Put me down for 2 pounds next week.

Re: Biggest Loser Season 8 Challenge

I weigh myself this morning because you weigh less in the morning than at night, according to the scale this morning I lost 1 pound, not good for someone who was only trying to lose 2 pounds, but I must remind myself that I just had major surgery 21 days ago and I am still not able to really exercise. I have 2-3 more weeks before my doctor will clear me to do anythin other than walk and I can't even walk on a treadmill or elliptial so I guess I will be okay with one pound, however that means that my goal for next week is 3 pounds. Maybe if I can follow the atkins eating plan better I will be able to lose the pounds. I am also posting my pics and stats, this is something I really DO NOT WANT to do, I HATE the way I look but hopefully by the end of the challenge I will like my looks a little better.
Here are my starting stats:

Under arms, around chest = 42
-Fullest part of chest = 45
-Ribcage = 39
-Waist = 43
-Hips = 45
-Upper arm x 2 = (15 x 2) = 30
-Thigh x 2 = (27 x 2) = 54

Re: Biggest Loser Season 8 Challenge

I can watch this show online - couldn't access it from the UK last yr. Yay! I watched the first half of the first episode today. Wow! Is so much better than the UK version which was pretty dull and all the people were annoying.

I cannot believe how mean that Jillian (sp?) is! Also the bits from last year's show - wow! Those people go from pretty big to fit and toned like there was never a problem! Amazing. I do wonder, though, if they maintain it because they work out as someone here said all day and that's not sustainable for everyone.

Anyway good motivation

I'm so glad you got a chance to catch the show! It is true, that they workout a lot more than someone that is not on the ranch would be able...especially if they are holding down a full-time job, but I still find it amazing that they dedicate so much time to workout and weight loss--and it's voluntary! True the trainers kick their butts, while they are there...but they wouldn't be there, if they hadn't made the decision to take that huge step towards bettering themselves physically and mentally....I admire them all...with that said, I'm sure that not all of them actually keep the weight off, once they leave the ranch or the show is over! Look how hard it is here for all of us, and we are each other's support system

Try using photobucket to upload them....that's all I've ever used... you can even size them there before you post them here...just use the [img] tag, ti copy them to your post here....hope this helps!

Re: Biggest Loser Season 8 Challenge

Good morning everybody. I hope you are all hanging in there and getting your exercise in. I can't wait to see if I redeemed myself this week on the scale. Hope you all have a great weigh in on Tuesday.
