CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Thanks for the inspiration and the pat on the back. We all need that!!!! Sometimes it's the reading about your running that gets me moving. The old "if she can do it I can do it" thing!

Physical limitations are a PIA! I have trouble with the lining of my spinal cord becoming inflamed and many years of ignoring numbness from disc troubles has caused permanent nerve damage in my left leg. So... balance is a big issue as is pain and I have to be careful what I do. Swimming is good but I get more of a workout in less time on an elliptical trainer so that's what I do. About 30 minutes will cover four miles and then I do some weight training to help strengthen my back - mostly ab work with arms thrown in for good measure. All totaled it's about an hour. Sometimes all I can do is the elliptical.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

I know I'm a day late with my weigh in but I'm down to 238 lbs. I just finished my 6 week exercise challenge and lost 8 lbs. along with ~ 18.5 inches. I was really proud of myself as I only had 2 rest days the entire time and no slugs. I looked on fitday to see how my goal for Christmas is coming to be down to 210 and I am right on target. I really would like to get a little ahead of goal, but I guess target is okay. I've joined the #20 exercise challenge. Everyone here ought to join as well. It will help you with this challenge as well. You just make a committment to exercise so many days out of 7 each week and post each day what you do whether it is exercise, rest day, etc. You also measure yourself at the beginning and at the end. If you go below your committment in one week you get a slug for the days you didn't exercise. The winners are the ones with the most inches lost first, then the most lbs. They have first, second and third places. Give it some thought. If you want to join, go to exercise challenge and sign up under 6 WEC #20.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

I am so proud of all of us, we are all doing fantastic. I also joined the 6 WEC, I wonder how many of us are on there?

I did a lot of excercise today, I'm actually surprised about it:
WATP 3 miles, played with abi for 2 hours, sweeping/mopping for 1 hour. all of this totals 1258 calories lost for the day. I'm not sure if that is right, kinda sceptical.

I hope everyone is doing great and enjoying their weekend.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

EVERYBODY IS DOING SO-O-O GOOD!

My weight doesn't seem to be lowering, but I am losing inches lately - and the recent posts regarding less than linear weight loss were just what I needed. Thanks.

I will be out of town for 2+ weeks (my daughter's wedding and a mini cruise). I plan to stay legal and come back with a weight loss!

See ya in a few weeks.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

I'm actually going on a cruise to alaska on september 10. Im excited, but VERY nervous about what i'm going to eat on the cruise! I plan on staying on atkins, but you never know how they cook they're meat! even when i ask, they never really know for sure, they're just the waiters, ya know. Maybe I'll tell them I'm diabetic or something.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

That's a good idea I have actually done that before and it works like a charm. You can also tell your booking agent and they can give you contact numbers or sometimes you can talk to someone in charge so you know what you're getting.

How is everyone today I am doing pretty well I have to do my run today 3 miles then it's 5 I think tomorrow EEEKK I sure hope I don't have too many kids or I might have to break it up which I don't like to do cause then I don't wanna do it LOL.

Well I better go take care.
