TheJerilu · March 2016

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?

206.2 / 199.4

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?

Exercise at least 6/7 days this week.

Any challenges you're facing this week?

Wrestlemania is Sunday, so we're going to probably have some trashy food to go with our trashy programming.
How did you do with your goals last week?

I made 6/7! The one day I had actually just totally forgotten to work out. Whoops! There was one day that I wasn't feeling it at all, so I just did a short 20 minute session. Overall, though, I'm a little bummed - I was actually down to 204.6 on Thursday and had a very overboard weekend and undid all that. Ugh.

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
Telekinesis! I've always thought that was super coolio.

babymish · March 2016

Ok I joined this once...and never came back - now I'm here to stay!

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?

I will weigh myself at the gym tomorrow but when I weighed myself at the docs two weeks ago I was 141.4lbs

Goal weight = 120lbs

I feel ready to do this - I'm 5f2 so was shocked to realise that my weight classes me as obese. I also saw some vacation pics of me and wasnt overly impressed so it's time to dop some weight and in fairness I have been eating like food is going out of fashion....

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?

I will get to the gym at least twice this week (will increase this next week) and no more bad foods.

Any challenges you're facing this week?

My back is giving me a lot of pain and I cant get to the chiro until 15th April - so need to go easier at the gym

How did you do with your goals last week?

I was on vacation - although I did 30 mins excercise in that week which I think deserves a medal

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?

To be able to eat what I want and do no exersise and still have abs and a jawline to die for (and be able to fly)

picklesplease · March 2016

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? SW: 194.4/ CW: 194/ GW: 150

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? Get back on the wagon. I ate like a madwoman the last few days because I've been eating my feelings and Easter candy didn't help either. I just need to get back to My Fitness Pal and keeping track of what I'm eating. Also, I need to get back to the gym.

Any challenges you're facing this week? I'm just tired and lethargic anymore. I can't find the motivation to go to the gym at all...

How did you do with your goals last week? Bahahahahahahaha! We'll pretend last week doesn't exist.

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be? I would love the ability to fly. I think it would be nice to go anywhere I want, whenever I want and not have to pay. I think it would be nice to get away and go someplace quiet where I can gather my thoughts.

meilay · March 2016

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?
Don't have a goal weight anymore just goal habits (4 days of exercise and meeting all nutrition goals).

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?

It's spring break so no excuses. I want to get into the gym 5 days this week.\

Any challenges you're facing this week?

Not wanting to do anything because it's spring break. Hahahaha

How did you do with your goals last week?

Terrible. Although, I did spend awhile chopping all my veggies for the week and I'm prepping a big batch of rice today so cooking healthy will be a breeze.

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
Super healing probably. Not immortal or anything but just healing super quickly, Wolverine style.

ChaoticWolf · March 2016

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? SW: 240 CW: 246 GW: 175 then 150

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? No more junk food at all! Zip, zero, zilch!

Any challenges you're facing this week? I'm extremely bummed out because I've been eating a lot healthier lately yet I gained 6 lbs. I'm not sure if some of it's remaining bloating from AF or not, but I'm about to cry. I was completely forgoing my normal fast food runs (which used to be a lot because of DH's schedule) and eating more fruits and veggies, yet I gained weight. Wtf body?

How did you do with your goals last week? I met my goals and was feeling okay until I stepped on the scale. :-(

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be? Shapeshifting. I want to be able to live free in nature like animals while still retaining my human ability to understand it.

linzrunz · March 2016

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? I'm currently waiting for AF to show up any day so I'm in full "Eat All The Things" mode.

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? Not to eat all the things and to do all the workouts? But seriously, I need to meal plan and STICK TO IT! Also, I need to run at least twice this week.

Any challenges you're facing this week? Crazy schedules that make eating out WAY too easy.

How did you do with your goals last week? I worked out once and ate healthy maybe twice?

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be? Teleportation. No more driving or flying anywhere ever and I could visit family whenever I wanted to. Oh, and maybe go to Hawaii right now instead of being stuck in the cold and snow. It could also be beneficial fitness wise. When there's less than perfect weather here, I could teleport to whichever destination had the nicest running weather and get new pins on my running map!

furbabymom2007 · March 2016

alright, I am going to put this out there.. I've gained alotmof weight in the past year (40 lbs) for various reasons and that has to stop. I do not enjoy the way I look at the moment and I feel it limits me physically now. As someone who was always athletic growing up, that really effing sucks. Basically I've been sitting around trying to wish the weight away without actually making an effort. Shockingly, that didn't work.

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?

CW: 240ish (scale battery died last week and I know Easter was not kind)
GW1: 200
GW2: 175 (where I was for our wedding and also more or less a technically "normal" BMI)

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?

DH and are following the 21 day fix eating plan and trying to make it work with Blue Apron. We followed it about 6 months ago for about 4 or 5 weeks and had results. It helped us to balance out intake and also get more fruits and veggies in. My goal this week is to stick to what I plan to eat and not cave and run to the cafeteria for lunch or a snack.

My other goal this week is to get all my water in. After even a few days of good water intake I just feel better all around. It really helps the whole deal.

Any challenges you're facing this week?

The week should be ok, work really actually helps with the plan because I can actually plan around it. This weekend will be tough because we are wedding dress shopping for my little sister. She plans to do a wine tasting for wedding wine as well.

How did you do with your goals last week?

I was actually pretty good through Friday and started feeing a little better. Then easter hit.

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?

faster than light travel.

Edited ti to try to fix formatting but then gave up because mobile.

furbabymom2007 · March 2016

As a side note, if anyone is interested in tracking weights (if that is what you are tracking) In sort of competition, let me know.

Ive done this in the past with my family and it helped us all to have motivation and accountability. We did it biggest loser style and based it on percentage loss. We had money at stake, but at the moment I am in a pure head to head wager wth my cousin for bragging rights. We are both outlander fans so the loser has to watch an episode on a 10 minute delay while the ther gets to text non spoiler containing taunting messages to the other (we don't get out much lol).

I have the spreadsheet set up already lol.

picklesplease · March 2016

@furbabymom2007- That would be awesome!

Anyone on here on My Fitness Pal? I'd love to do some kind of recipe swap on there. I love adapting recipes to make them healthier!

furbabymom2007 · March 2016

@BerkeBaby I've used my fitness pal in the past, but very much like my good reads account, I've kept it private so people don't know what read (or eat in this case) lol.

With the 21 day thing I made a tracking sheet for DH and I to plan our meals. It's just an 11x17 frame that we write on with dry erase markers. I made a super ghetto weekly planning sheet on it in PowerPoint and printed it out and put it in the frame.

AliciaGoose · March 2016

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?

CW: I actually don't know. I have been horrible for 3 weeks and haven't weighed myself! My last weight was 214ish (up from my lowest of 205)
SW: 255
GW: #1 is to break below 200!

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?

Get back on track! DH and I both recommitted today after 3 absolutely horrible weeks. So far so good. We have been living a much healthier lifestyle for the last year, and these three weeks were the worst we've done since we started. I think we're both over that binge now.

Any challenges you're facing this week?

Well today is CD1, so that's always a challenge food wise. But after how these last three weeks make me feel, I don't even want the bad food!

How did you do with your goals last week?

See above.

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
DH always says stopping time because then it's as if you can teleport and essentially mimics some other superpowers, so I'm going to steal that!

Marley629 · March 2016

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?

i didn't step on a scale this morning bc I ate all the food yesterday. And dessert. But overall I feel so much healthier

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? To continue eating healthy and run at least two days this week.

Any challenges you're facing this week? Going on a day trip to Washington, D.C. For work Wednesday so it's a 3 hour trip each way..I imagine we will only be able to grab a bite to eat and usually those quick places lack healthy options so I'll have to try to do healthier

How did you do with your goals last week? Eh I need to step it up with my steps. I get irrational during the TWW and am nervous to go hard which makes no sense because people who run marathons get knocked up so I'm just being silly..but yet I still do it .

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
Teleportation please.

@furbabymom2007
That sounds fun!! I would be interested

vintageandrea90 · March 2016

So great to read all of your goals and progress!

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?

SW: 231 CW: 214.9 GW: first goal 199..then we'll go from there

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?

Hot yoga 3x...jog 2x....actually track my food in the ww app

Any challenges you're facing this week!
Not really no.

How did you do with your goals last week?
Terrible. Fell off track and didn't track at all. I almost slipped off the wagon but held on by a thread and jumped back on today.

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
Flying! That would be so cool.

furbabymom2007 · March 2016

@BerkeBaby @Marley629 ok, below is what I propose for our TTC biggest loser (please let me know your thoughts)

@vintageandrea90 @aliciabhen @linzrunz @TotororyInLove @meilay @babymish @TheJerilu --- if you'd like to participate, please chime in! I've tagged you because I saw your name in this thread. Anyone else is also welcome to chime in and participate.

Details:
Starting wednesday, inbox me your current weights. On Thursday, I'll put out a results chart. I will only post the results in the form of percentage weight loss ((current weight - starting weight)/ starting weight). Also, if you like, send me your goal and I can track your progress against that goal. (I like spreadsheets)

Thoughts?
-Is Wednesday a good weigh in day or would you prefer something else? I've used Wednesday in the past because it seems to be the day that I am most likely around and available to update the spreadsheet. Also... People bitch when they have to weigh in on Monday after a weekend of drinking (or maybe that is just my family).

-Should results just be posted in this weekly thread or should there be a TTC biggest loser thread.

-I have not specified a time frame because this is more of a "hold yourself accountable" sort of thing... And obviously it somewhat of a transient community as people leave when they get their BFPs (though if anyone still wants to track after they get a BFP, to help maintain I don't have an issue).

-Each week I'll post that weeks winner as well as the overall leader. There are no prizes, but I can promise a congratulatory gif.

MrsR130 · March 2016

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?
SW 198.9, CW 192.9

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?

Crossfit 3x, 10K steps/day; stay at my calories all week. Easter was a bit of a splurge!

Any challenges you're facing this week?

Road trip to NY to see my little sister play LAX - always end up hungry and eating junk. This time I will be more prepared with packed snacks and a run before we leave!

How did you do with your goals last week?

Pretty darn good - getting much more consistant with workouts and my daily step goal, still working on getting my nutrition on point. There is a large competition at the gym starting up next week for fitness/weight loss and I am pretty pumped to get that going.

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
Flying!

izza2 · March 2016

@furbabymom2007 - I'd be up for that as well! I don't think we need a new thread for it, though. Keeping it in this thread should suffice.

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? 200+ / 150

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? Keep working out and cut back on the Dunkin Donuts coffee... again...

Any challenges you're facing this week? Nope. Good week for me.
How did you do with your goals last week? Decent
GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be? Flying. I would love to be able to fly everywhere. It would save me so much gas money... plus it would be beautiful.

sldp123 · March 2016

@furbabymom2007 I would be interested! I have not been participating in this thread because I have totally fallen off the wagon, but really want to get back on track. I have participated in challenge groups on MFP before, and they usually do a shared Google spreadsheet so you can see everyone's progress there. Just a thought.

HLD3194 · March 2016

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?

CW: 151.8 GW: 145 - Feeling extremely bloated and exhausted from AF.

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?

Eat good food and not splurge on candy, also to workout 6 days.

Any challenges you're facing this week?

Keeping energy up and not letting AF hinder my workouts. I am currently doing the Jillian Michaels Body Shred series and am on week 3 day 2. Holy cow it is hard.

How did you do with your goals last week?

Very good working out wise, but should of laid off the Easter candy more.

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
I would love to be a shape shifter like Mystique from X-Men.

picklesplease · March 2016

@furbabymom2007 - I prefer to check my weight on Fridays. It gives me the whole week to stay on track and a little bit a leeway, should I need to redirect after a rough weekend.

I don't know if anyone else would be okay with that, though. Just an idea.

I love that there is someone who loves spreadsheets as much as I do. Have you heard of Wunderlist? It's an app that lets you put your lists/to-dos together and assign people to carry out tasks. It's amazing. I use it when I head up different committees so that I can keep everything organized. I am addicted to it.

I have participated in challenge groups on MFP before, and they usually do a shared Google spreadsheet so you can see everyone's progress there. Just a thought.

I looked on MFP and I can't figure out how to create a challenge. Is it just something in the forums? I shy away from a Google spreadsheet... Just because I don't want my real contact information shared just yet lol. Though I am not super familiar with Google spreadsheets.. Do you have to be logged in?

There is is also a website called thintopia that could work. I created one as a test but now I can't edit it... So it isn't the most user friendly site. If you want to check it out the competition is called "TTC biggest loser" and the password is tcoyf. I'd paste the link here but I am bumping on my phone and searching website on my work computer... It's lunchtime I swear!

@BerkeBaby

I don't particularly care what day we weigh in, I just shy away from Friday because I have every other Friday off from work and tend to travel on those days. If I am not keeping up with a spreadsheet and we use an online service, I don't know how it handles missed entries. If I am tracking the spreadsheet it just means that updates don't get sent out until Monday. And in all honesty, if that is the case... Just inbox me on whatever day you weigh in and I will just "snap the line" at the start of each week to report on the previous weeks progress.

furbabymom2007 · March 2016

@BerkeBaby I haven't heard of wunderlist... I'll have to check it out! For now my Dh and I use a grocery list app that we can both see. It's great when I know he is going to the store, I can just add things for him to get. We also just use it for simple checklists when needed. It's stupid simple and not pretty but it's free and gets the job done!

picklesplease · March 2016

I don't want make things more difficult.

I'll just check in on Mondays and use my Friday weight.

No big deal. I love Wunderlist. We're doing a bunch of home renovations, so I just start a new project and divide things up between DH and me. It's so awesome.

It's actually probably easier just to let people choose their day... It's not like there is money at stake. With my family we all paid in $50 and the 1st and 2nd place got money. 3rd got their money back. We had like 14 ppl so it was significant money. Because of this... I had to be particular about the rules. But this is just for fun and a good way to be held accountable.

KristoKekerooni · March 2016

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?

245 lb (OMG)/145 lb
Feeling like that's a lot!

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?

Trying to not eat sweets. It's really hard for me because I get my sweet tooth right after O... which is about now... When candy is on sale from Easter. Ugh.

Any challenges you're facing this week?

Besides that I don't want to do anything... we moved to a different area outside of town, so our gym is much, much further away. ( we used to live about two blocks away). I hate having to come into town, drive all the way through it just to get to the gym. And I am a big baby and I hate going outside to walk/run because weather.

How did you do with your goals last week?

I've had a goal of losing weight for a while, but I haven't really gone for it. So I am counting today as "GO day"

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
I would love to have the laser vision stuff. Just so I can heat my tea back up without a microwave. Or my bathwater when it gets cold.

@furbabymom2007 - I'd be interested too!

dpjennifer · March 2016

@furbabymom2007 I like the TTC Biggest Loser idea!

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? SW: 195 CW: 193 GW: 150ish

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? Focusing on not overeating in the evening. Also, trying to get good sleep. I missed working out yesterday, but am hoping to get it in every day the rest of the week!

Any challenges you're facing this week? Week of O, so trying not to eat everything I see! Also, trying to not eat ALL the Easter Candy…

How did you do with your goals last week? Surprisingly well. Was able to exercise every day after work as planned, and didn’t overeat or anything when home for Easter which was good.

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be? I’ve always wished that I could fly! (and by the looks of other responses, I'm not alone in that wish!)

ChaoticWolf · March 2016

@furbabymom2007 I would definitely be interested! I think it would be easier to let people choose their own day to weigh in, but make the week end on a certain day for the contest for the gif, so that if you don't weigh in by so-and-so day for the week, you can't be named the winner.

furbabymom2007 · March 2016

Ok, so here is how I think it would work (and would be easiest for me )

scroll to end for TL;DR

Week 0 ( starting weight week) retroactively starts this week. Weigh in at any time, but I have to receive your weight in my inbox by midnight Sunday (Eastern standard time because that is where I live so deal with it

)

Each Monday I will gather the data and put out a results spreadsheet (in this weekly thread). This Monday will not have a results sheet because I am only gathering starting weights.

I plugged in some random test data into my spreadsheet just as an example. The numbers may not make a whole lot of sense because but this is what the sheet looks like (I need to fix a few things to keep some sign conventions because otherwise they will bother me... But you get the idea) :

As you can see, "test 4" has lofty goals and is not making alot of progress lol. Naturally, I am winning in this game if made up numbers.

if any of the participants get a BFP (I don't typically catch them all) please message me and let me know so I can take you out of the spreadsheet (or if you still want to be tracked... I don't have an issue with it). Anyone can join at any point.

Simple enough? The spreadsheet is set up so all I have to do is plug in your name, overall goal, and weekly weight. It does the rest.

TL;DR

if you are playing, inbox me your starting weight and overall goal weight this week (by midnight Sunday, EST time). Then send me your weight each week by the same cutoff time. I'll post results Monday (Tuesday when I am lazy) in this weekly thread.

Edited for words and clarity

vintageandrea90 · March 2016

@furbabymom2007 Interested!! I would prefer a Monday weigh in because that's when I weigh in for my weight watchers.

AMGreely · March 2016

I'm in!

Great! All that means is that your results won't show up in the chart until the following week because Monday morning I will be gathering the weights that have been received throughout the previous week. Go ahead and inbox me your weight from this past Monday to serve as your starting point.

KristoKekerooni · March 2016

So... newbie to the boards. how do I inbox instead of post to a thread? Sorry for my stupidity. I read the newbie stuff for the most important stuff, but I don't want to have to dig through all the info to see if this is addressed in there.

On mobile, you can click on my name and then click send private message.

Not sure about in the actual site lol

KristoKekerooni · March 2016

@furbabymom2007Thanks!!

mrsdee15 · March 2016

Oh gosh, I love the idea of accountability! Great idea! I'll have to weigh myself tomorrow... erg..

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? After doing so well working out, I fell off the bandwagon for wayyyyy longer than I'd like to admit. I haven't gained all the weight back, but didn't stay at my new weight either. $:\$

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? Eating better and consistently working out. I've gone to the gym the last 2 days and plan to go this evening, even though I'm exhausted.

Any challenges you're facing this week? This weekend I'm going up to SF to see my college friends, I have a feeling we won't be eating very healthily.

How did you do with your goals last week? Terrible, didn't even try.

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be? Telekinesis! Mostly just so I wouldn't have to get up to get the t.v. remote (and this, folks, is why I need this thread as accountability to do anything active).

AliciaGoose · March 2016

@furbabymom2007 Yes! I'm late to the party, but I'm so in for this! Love the idea. I also like that we can use our own weigh on days retroactively! So excited to have people to be accountable to again!

juliebeannn · March 2016

Oh! I wanna join!!! Love the idea of TTC Biggest Loser @furbabymom2007!!

Intro: I was super fitness freak a few years back and lost close to 35lbs. Through job stress, living through a home renovation (no kitchen for 4 months) and just lack of motivation, I gained close to 30lbs in 2015. I need to go back to square one and start again.

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?
SW: 170 / GW: 135

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?
Fitness goal for this week: Run 2x and Crossfit 2x
Nutrition goal for this week - no cheat days, I had too many of those last week

Any challenges you're facing this week?
Just as I got comfortable with running again, the temperature is supposed to drop into the 40s again. WHY?! My asthmatic lungs really don't like cold air.

How did you do with your goals last week?
Started running, that's something, right?

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
To be able to pick which calories count and which don't (ie. grilled chicken and veggies do, chinese take out and ice cream don't)

furbabymom2007 · March 2016

Just a little reminder, if you want to play TTC biggest loser, send me your starting weight and your overall goal before the end of Sunday (Est). You can weigh in any day of these, just send me your weight when you do. I will compile data first thing Monday morning and send it out!

Megs7911 · April 2016

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?
SW: 217; CW: 197? I haven't weighed myself in a few days, GW: 150

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?

I'd mainly just like to get back on track. The last few weeks have been rough and I have been eating my feelings and stress eating.

Any challenges you're facing this week?

Going out of town this weekend and it is my birthday on saturday, and those two things usually does not fair well for the waistline.

How did you do with your goals last week?

Just okay. Not too terrible, but I can do better.

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
Probably super speed. I would really love to fly, but with speed I could come pretty close. Speed would just come in handy so often. Need to clean the house, take a shower, blow-dry my hair, do 17 loads of laundry, and make dinner? Poof, done! Yes, I need that.

vintageandrea90 · April 2016

Current Weight/Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?
Feeling pretty good. Not perfect with my eating but been going to hot yoga almost every day. I dont even know if hot yoga really contributes to weight loss....it's super hard..and i sweat like 50 buckets..but i read somewhere that it doesnt really help with weight loss because your heart rate doesnt go up enough...but i wear my fitbit and it goes up between 125-140 at some points

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?
I've already gotten my 3 hot yoga classes in...hoping to go one more day and try to start my couch to 5k now that it's warm out

Any challenges you're facing this week?
Not really...feeling pretty happy...and confident

How did you do with your goals last week?
Not very good....didn't track. My eating is the hard part

GTKY: If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
flight!

mrsdee15 · April 2016

@furbabymom2007 I tried to message you but I'm on mobile and not sure what I'm doing.
