Busted on my Challenge!

I was 1 lb. short of the 2 lb. challenge; but there were some good losses this time. I am so happy that everyone is buzzing with more motivation. I am going to give a little more this week; I think I am going to try the water aerobics again. I also plan to keep my Monday date with the Library Lapper's in the MP room...... I am going to personally challenge myself to lose at least 2 lbs. this week. Oh and I will bring gum for those 2lb. losers, Great Job!

I Escaped the Valentine's Day Dreaded Weight Gain

Just barely got by with a 1.4 loss. I think we all struggled this week; so I issued a challenge to our weight loss group that if you don't lose at least 2 lbs. you would have to bring some healthy item such as a bottle of water, an apple or sugar free gum to the ones that do lose 2 lbs. or more.
It is important to keep motivated and stay focused. I think if we set reasonable goals we will be able to reach them. Choose a personal goal that you want to attain and go for it.

A New Challenge

Yesterday was the beginning of a new challenge; I managed to lose 2.5 pounds this past week, which I am so happy to have lost. But the big Losers this week, Lilli, Amanda, and Kim, they have set the bar really high. They have inspired me to push it harder this week. The workout in the MP room is so fun, plus we really do get to "Sweating to the Oldies"; Richard Simmons is great to work with. Even though it is a small group, it is just nice to work together for a common goal of getting healthier and physically fit; and BTW Glenda is a spunky little dancer, I think she could show us all a few new moves.

Today's the Day

I am so glad to start back weighing in again; I really need this weigh in, it makes me so aware of what I am putting into my mouth, and that in one week I will be held accountable for the results of how responsible I have been with my healthy eating. I am also looking forward to working out on Monday after work in the MP room. This will be a time for us girls to share and laugh and have some fun. I will share results next Monday; hopefully there will be a little less of me.

A Great Finish to my 12 Week Journey

I reached my goal of losing 30 pounds, WHOOPIE! I placed 2nd in the overall challenge and will be receiving a check for $170.00, YAHOO! Now that was a really nice incentive, but what really matters is that I am more fit and healthy; I plan to lose another 25 pounds, a personal goal that I am striving to reach by summer. No bikinis for me, just a nice size 12. The library Challenge will give me the accountability that I need. Don't put it off; if you want to start losing some weight and get healthy, sign up today. I promise you will feel so much better all over.

Coming to the end as a big loser

Well I was able to pull off a 3 pound loss this week, I had hoped for more. I need to lose 4 more pounds to reach my goal of 30 pounds, so I will be working out extra hard to make this happen. I am excited about the possibility of keeping this going here at the library. I so need the accountability. Me and Richard will be working out everyday, it is such a fun way to work out and you really do sweat to the oldies.

Missed the Scales!

As some of you know, I became deathly ill from swimming in the Artic TSU swimming pool, I truly think I went into shock from the frigid water and then what was I thinking, taking a hot as I could stand it shower; I truly got so sick. I will not do that again. Well there is always next week, as a matter of fact, 2 more weeks. I will be working out with Richard Simmons this week; no swimming for me in the icy water.
