Re: STAC Exercise and Weight Loss Challenge

Re: STAC Exercise and Weight Loss Challenge

I have been on Atkins a few times but this is my first challenge so I hope I am doing this right.

Here are my goals....

I will drink 100 oz of water each day.
I will do some form of cardio for an hour 4x a week and do some form of weight training 3x a week.

Also, every Saturday I am helping my Grandma with some form of exercise, mostly resistance bands, and very mild cardio. Not much of a workout but hey, it's better than sitting on the couch, right?

Last but not least I will do 100 crunches everyday!!!

I really need to have a big drop in weight because I am going on vacation in May.

Re: STAC Exercise and Weight Loss Challenge

Do my "full" and "week 1" goals listed in my post above work for you, Julie?

Re: STAC Exercise and Weight Loss Challenge

I would like to join in but I am not allowed to exercise (and I am missing it) as I had an operation on 7 Feb and have to wait six weeks.
I wish you all lots of success and look forward to STAC challenge #2! Zx

Re: STAC Exercise and Weight Loss Challenge

Oops...I forgot to put my weight loss goal, do you want it by week or a total?

Re: STAC Exercise and Weight Loss Challenge

Hello,

Not sure about the format. But here's the plan:

Re: EXERCISE
Weight training 3x/week with trainer, cardio walk-run 5x/week. When the cardio is after weights it will be for 40 min. When the cardio is 'alone' it will be for 1 hour. I am currently doing 3 min. walk, 2 min. run - in 5 minute segments. I hope to shift that ratio to 3.5 min. run, 1.5 min. walk by the end of the challenge.

Re: WEIGHT
Starting weight: 192
Goal: March 1: 190
Goal: March 8: 185 (high as this will be Day 14 of induction)
Goal: March 15: 183
Goal: March 22: 181
Goal: March 29: 179
Goal: April 5: 177
Final Goal: April 12: 175

Notes: I also must only weigh myself ONCE a week! On Sundays as indicated.

Re: WATER
No problem on this one.

Notes: The 3-day plan
Friday, Feb 27: 1 hour weight training - arms & abs; 40 min. walk-run
Saturday, Feb 28: 1 hour walk-run
Sunday, Mar 1: WEIGH-IN

I've added the weight goals to my signature and will put 'met' there when I've acheived them.

I'm so happy to be doing this with all of you. Let's work hard the next month and a bit - we will be so happy with ourselves for Spring. What a great way to start.

Re: STAC Exercise and Weight Loss Challenge

Horrible time for me to join a challenge as I am hosting a Mini Institute with LOTs of food, frolic and friends. Also will be in class about 10 hours a day. Saying that, I'm going to join anyway.
1 week goal
8 oz of water a day. (Im lucky if I drink 1/2 oz with my pill.
While I usually swim 3 times a week, they are closing the pool for maintenance, BUT Ill walk every lunch hour for 1/2 hour and chose the hill across the street.
I will lose 1 pound.
And my most important.... I will stay on my plan and ignore the donuts, homemade cookies and everything else folks are bringing to share.
(Sorry I can't add the egg, I have a MAC and it doesn't copy squat or I don't know how to copy squat.LOL)
Because of my horrid schedule next week, not sure I can post everyday either, but know I am thinking about you and cheering you on

Re: STAC Exercise and Weight Loss Challenge

Good Morning & Happy Friday .

Today is the first day of our challange. I will use Friday as my official weigh in day. My goal for the challenge will be to make it to onederland. As of today that will be 9 #.

I am committed to flood myself with water.... I will aim at 3 liters a day.

Exercise 4 days a week. I will make to the Gym today and I will walk on the tread mill for no less than 20 minutes (30 if my back feels good). I will also start back at my upper body stength training and will work on that for 15-25 minutes.

Julie- 9
SW208/CW/208/GW199 Total for challenge =0

___________________________________________

You can have your weigh-ins on what day you choose. I would like to see a total goal for the challenge and a weekly weigh in(so I can keep track). You can only report your loss on here 1X per week on your weigh in day.

You can have a weekly goal- I am not going to keep track of that- OK? You will have to.

I will log in later today and collect everyone's data and then place it all in one thread that I can edit/copy/paste with updates.

Have a super Friday.

Julie

Re: STAC Exercise and Weight Loss Challenge

ok, I'm trying not to weigh after my last weigh in (which I think was on tuesday?), so I'm starting at 209. I'm going to copy Julie's overall challenge goal: get in the 1's! so 10 lbs.

I will try for 20-30 minutes of exercise, 5 days per week. if I have a particularly long session though, I'll bank that time if I need to. can we do that? it IS flu season, after all.

water is never a problem for me, but to give it a number, I'll say 100 oz/day. I usually drink more than that, but let's go with it for now.

Re: STAC Exercise and Weight Loss Challenge

Hello everyone,

Today was an upper body day, no cardio seeing as how I have to double up on it tomorrow. I did arms, shoulders and back. I also did 150 crunches. I managed to get in about 130 oz of water. A slow first day but I think I may have had some sort of bug. I got home from work at 2 and slept until....sheesh. Feel better now. See ya tomorrow!!!
