Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? SW:140 CW: 129.5 GW: 110

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? Keep in my calories and have a moderate but satisfying cheat day. Get on the treadmill more than once this week.

Any challenges you're facing this week? Motivation. I'm feeling kind of blah today. I have what I call "skinny days" and "fat days" and today is a "fat day" I know I was good yesterday but idk I just feel kind of bloated I guess.

How did you do with your goals last week? Really good with nutrition, got back on track and lost 2.2lbs! I reached 10 lbs lost so that's pretty good. The sad thing is I still don't fit in my shorts that I used to barely fit in last October... Hopefully a few more pounds down and I will.

GTKY: Do you have any strange sounding food combinations that are actually delicious? Spaghetti (plain) and Cottage Cheese. I was a really picky kid and refused to eat anything with tomato which included marinara sauce so one day for some reason my mom put cottage cheese (one of my favorite foods) on my plain spaghetti and I ate it and loved it. Even DH likes it now, he usually requests it when I say I'm making spaghetti. Sadly I haven't had it in a while since I'm cutting back on carbs.

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?

Eat healthy, work out daily even if it's 20 mins; finish week 3 of C25K ; drink 100oz water daily

Any challenges you're facing this week?

Appt with RE tomo..I'm worried it will be bad news and I'll resort to emotional eating..Need to stay focused

How did you do with your goals last week?

Eh it was a tough week

GTKY: Do you have any strange sounding food combinations that are actually delicious?

Mac and cheese with spicy mustard! Don't knock it until you try it haha

@furbabymom2007 how is C25k going for you?

linzrunz · June 2016

Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? SW: 140 GW: 130 CW: 139

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? STOP EATING JUNK! Really, how hard is it? Very, apparently. Also, hit all my scheduled runs. Week 3 of 12 for my half training.

Any challenges you're facing this week? Stress. We will be moving back into our old house soon and all I want to do is eat ice cream and fast food.

How did you do with your goals last week? Not too bad. Ran 10.7 of my 16 scheduled miles. Cut one run short due to weather (not sweating in 90* heat is actually a BAD thing) and skipped one. Food sucked, but not as bad as it could have.

GTKY: Do you have any strange sounding food combinations that are actually delicious? Hmm... not that I can think of off the top of my head.

@marriedhamstermom I'm not going to lie...that sounds gross... but have you tried spaghetti squash and cottage cheese? Not sure if it'd be the same but spaghetti squash tastes surprisingly like pasta (more so than I though it would) Might be a way to get your weird combo without the carbs.

AliciaGoose · June 2016

Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?

SW: 255 CW: 214 GW: 150

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?

Have three healthy meals each day. Drink lots of water. Even on the weekend when I usually do a bad job of drinking enough.

Any challenges you're facing this week?

First week 'back on track' is always tough. Especially when it's finals week at work and literally everyday there's a breakfast or a lunch or an ice cream bar planned. But I actually set myself up for success this week by making sure I had all of the food I needed. Now I just need to eat it.

How did you do with your goals last week?

Well I lost weight. But I really can't call it a success because I was being bad and not trying. I think it was just my body letting go of water weight. But I'm finally ready to stop eating my feelings and move on in a productive way.

GTKY: Do you have any strange sounding food combinations that are actually delicious?

Hm. None that I can think of now but I know I have a couple!

furbabymom2007 · June 2016

@Marley629 its.... Going lol. I decided to redo week one. Again.

I wanted to run. tonight, but I didn't even get home from work until 730. Now it's 9 and we just finished dinner and dishes. And it's bedtime...

and all weekend the stupid letrozole made AF a real bitch.

all excuses I know and it has to stop. Now I am going to go to bed early, so I can get to work on time and not have to get home at 730. I have done some of the prep for dinner tomorrow so I can get on the treadmill when I get home before dinner.

Thats the goal for tomorrow. I'll figure out Wednesday, tomorrow.

NYTino24 · June 2016

Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? Feeling not great. I was in a wedding on Saturday and it was really tough to zip up the dress. My own wedding is in 39 days and I'm racing against the clock to lose a few pounds so I can fit in my gown. It was tight a few weeks ago!

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? No weight gain

Any challenges you're facing this week? End of school year party

How did you do with your goals last week? The wedding kinda threw off the whole don't gain weight thing!

GTKY: Do you have any strange sounding food combinations that are actually delicious? I like frozen fruit in my yogurt...is that weird?

GrabberBlue2010 · June 2016

@marriedhamstermom - Way to go with the loss! 10 pounds is awesome!
@Marley629 - Good luck at your appt today! FX all goes well

@linzrunz - I hear ya with the junk food. Sorry for all the stress! Moving is no fun. On the bright side, you DID get in over half of your runs last week. Way to go!!
@AliciaGoose - Meal prep is the way to go! It helps SO much!!
@NYTino24 - You can do it!!! Frozen fruit in yogurt is totally delish!!

Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week?

Well, I am slightly discouraged. I weighed myself last night before getting in the shower (terrible I know, and I know better to do it in the morning) And of course it was a gain. Duh. But in all reality, I feel that I really actually am the same weight I was last week. No loss, but hell it is not a gain so I am not entirely complaining.

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week?

Dust off from the weekend and move forward. I have been doing really well with food, so I will just continue that. And not stop at Starbucks anymore for their summer S'mores frap. My sister introduced me to that delightful cup of Satan over the weekend. At 550 cals for a Venti. I decided after DH letting me down last night (unintentionally) I deserved one this morning. I got it with all the non-fat/low fat versions. Just as delish. Still a ton of cals *lesigh

Any challenges you're facing this week?

Not really. Still gearing up to start working out. Lacking major motivation in that area.

How did you do with your goals last week?

I did really good until the weekend. I did manage to stay under my calorie goal Saturday, but went just over on Sunday. I am also very.... "irregular", so I took some aloe on Friday to move things along. Well it decided to move things along enough for 2 people on Sunday afternoon. And somehow, with all of my insides no longer in me, I had a gain. Whatevs.

GTKY: Do you have any strange sounding food combinations that are actually delicious?

PB&J, with a drizzle of ranch dressing. Oh em gee.

ETA - Words

varimama · June 2016

@linzrunz Awesome job getting in most of your runs! I just have to not be around junk food or I eat it all. I have tried the spaghetti squash with it but honestly I didn't like it. I do like spaghetti squash with sauce though so I try to do that or zucchini noodles sometimes to reduce the carbs!

@Marley629 FX you get good news on your appt!!!

@AliciaGoose Congrats on your weight loss, even if it is water weight that's still weight that had to come off! For me I need a drop in weight to start getting motivated so it sounds like you found your motivation too!

@furbabymom2007 I have the same excuses when I get home late, good luck getting your run in tonight! I'm hoping to hop on the treadmill tonight too, I also missed yesterday b/c I got home too late...

@NYTino24 congrats on your wedding coming up!! I specifically bought a corset back for my dress so I could tighten it when I lost weight but ended up being happy b/c I gained some and it still fit. You've got plenty of time I'm sure you'll get there!

@GrabberBlue2010 thank you and weekends are the hardest for me too! I think it's because we either have events where we're hanging out with people and that always involves food or I'm home and have a full fridge and pantry and I eat... I haven't quite gotten the exercise motivation yet either but I've tried to loose weight before where I have an intense workout plan and restricted diet and then I get so frustrated I fail so I'm focusing on diet and bringing in exercise slowly! Good luck to finding your motivation!!

[Deleted User] · June 2016

Not going to lie, I almost didn't want to update this week since last week was so rough. But here I am...

<div>
Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? Feeling pretty miserable. I was doing so well first week, and then I don't know if I can legit blame it on ovulation hormones (for sure not all of it), but then I just get derailed and it's hard to snap back into it. Haven't weighed yet, but I'm sure I've regained those 5 lbs from last week...
Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? Uhm, make sure I get back to my 30 pushups challenge, cos I may have missed a day or two, but I did them again when I remembered. Get back on my daily dog walks, too, even if they are not long, the sunshine does me good, logging my food again, and keep taking my vitamins. That's one thing at least I have managed to stay consistent with. Taking my vitamins is just such a habit and part of our routine now!
Any challenges you're facing this week? Just emotions I guess. I started this Creighton tracking method, so all these feelings are popping up and I'm just back to feeling depressed and wanting more to be pregnant than to be wearing skinny clothes.
How did you do with your goals last week? Got derailed.
GTKY: Do you have any strange sounding food combinations that are actually delicious? </div>I don't usually do French Fries or mayo, but if I'm doing fries, that is what they get dipped in. Mayo. Bam.

thj101 · June 2016

I'm jumping in here, because I really need some motivation!

Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? SW: 170 GW: 140 I have not weighed myself I'm trying to overcome the complex I have with seeing my weight.

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? I started weight watchers 2 weeks ago. And right now, my main goal is to stay within my daily allowance, and track all my food! I'm terrible about writing it all down.

Any challenges you're facing this week? I'm going out of town this weekend, and that always seems to be a challenge for me because I feel like, whew! I'm on a mini vacay, eat all I want!

How did you do with your goals last week? Not good... I'm off to a good start this week though!

GTKY: Do you have any strange sounding food combinations that are actually delicious? A mini ice cream sandwich with strawberry preserves is to die for. Also, very high in sugar, and not good for you diet wise haha

GrabberBlue2010 · June 2016

@BusinessWife - sorry for the rough patch

I completely feel where you are coming from. I totally felt like that over the weekend, and honestly as the day goes on I am feeling it today. But you got this my friend!!! Just pick yourself up and press on. I have full faith in you that you can do it! And if you slip up at all, that is OK. Recognize it, and then do better on your next meal/snack

And can I just add....
tyler perry hallelujah madea hallelujer loretta divine

YYYASSSSS to fries and mayo!!! SO GOOD!! Now I want some :-P

[Deleted User] · June 2016

Thanks, @GrabberBlue2010 ..as I crunch up my fun-size mnm wrapper lol Every day i look forward to my big lunch salads... is it 12 o clock yet? 1130? lol Let's see if I can manage to get out with these puppies, too and it will be a good day :)

PurpleRains · June 2016

I can always count on @GrabberBlue2010 for the gif that makes me snort

@BusinessWife I'm sorry you're feeling down...but I totally understand. Chin up, buttercup!

Schumerator · June 2016

Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? GW is 140 eventually. Still have a long ways to go. I feel alright, I try. I just know I haven't been balls deep committed and I don't know how to get myself back to that. It's the only way I lose weight. Blah.

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? Not eat out so much. Working out more, went on a hike yesterday but I literally have something planned for every day after work this week. I don't even know how this happens!

Any challenges you're facing this week? Wedding Saturday. Going to try to not drink. I have a feeling I will fail at this...

How did you do with your goals last week? Not horrible, could have been better.

GTKY: Do you have any strange sounding food combinations that are actually delicious?

Not that I can think of. My mom always made butter noodles with parmesan cheese but I don't know if that's weird. I also like sweet pickles which it seems no one else on earth does but my mom says she ate them constantly when she was pregnant with me.

GrabberBlue2010 · June 2016

@Schumerator - ooooo sweet pickles are SO good!!!

Schumerator · June 2016

@GrabberBlue2010 HA! Another person! I'm so glad I'm not alone

furbabymom2007 · June 2016

TTGP week 10 results....

I am forgoing the normal gifs for the weekly winners (though y'all did great so pat yourselves on the back) in favor of giving everyone a massive high five.

In week 10 of TTGP biggest loser, we have lost over 100 lbs!!! You guys are all amazing!

The numbers don't lie, every little bit you have lost has added up!

Image: https://media2.giphy.com/media/98Nrl3nj3FaJG/giphy.gif

Keep up the good work ladies!

Here are the full results:

GrabberBlue2010 · June 2016

Ddaayyyuummmm!! Can I just toot everyone's horn and say, we the best!!!

AliciaGoose · June 2016

Killin it in week ten ladies!!

@Schumerator I'm having the same issue with commitment. Normally when I go in, I go all in and I kill it. But when I lose that it's so hard to pick it back up again!

@thj101 I do WW too and it has always been amazing for me. But just like any other diet plan it's only successful when you want it to be (and are willing to put in the work) and it's the want part that's been missing for me lately!

@marriedhamstermom Weight loss is my biggest motivator too. I've always felt ass backwards in the sense that when I am up I am like "oh well I gained weight, might as well keep eating" but when I'm down I'm like "Hell yeah, I need to keep going!".

@BusinessWife I know that wanting to be pregnant more than wearing smaller clothes feeling as well. It makes it tough to find the motivation when the emotions are all over.

@GrabberBlue2010 If I miss meal prep I'm basically doomed to fail! It's so important to have what you need readily available otherwise the faster option will always win.

furbabymom2007 · June 2016

Woo Hoo!

Goal tomorrow is to do it again!

TravelingCouple · June 2016

Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? SW:132 CW: 131 GW: 115

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? Continue with the 21 Day Fix! I finished my 60 day schedule of Piyo, which I did love, but I was ready to change it up again. I started the 21 Day Fix originally last summer and did really well with it. So I started it up again yesterday and am on Day 2 now! I just love Autumn and always come back to the 21dfx. I've done really well on the eating plan so far yesterday and today; no junk! I haven't touched the ice cream in my freezer since Saturday which is huge for me. Ice cream is my weakness. But I already feel better and totally feel you on the "skinny" and "fat" days @marriedhamstermom!

Any challenges you're facing this week? It will be a daily challenge to continue eating well and avoiding junk. I go out a lot and it's when I'm out of the house that's my biggest challenge. Saying no to treats at friend's houses or at my MK meetings is tough. But I know snacking here and there adds up so I have to say no to it all!

How did you do with your goals last week? I finished my last week of Piyo and I do love how it lengthens me out and strengthens my core. I can tell that it's helped now with restarting the 21dfx compared to last year when I did it with no prior training.

GTKY: Do you have any strange sounding food combinations that are actually delicious? Halve a pear, put it in the toaster oven to warm and soften, take it out and put a scoop of cottage cheese on each side and sprinkle with cinnamon. Oddly delicious!!

I tried to c25k because I really wanted to be a runner. Alas, I lasted 3 weeks and fell back into my routine of any other fitness. But I did love working out outside and it's an especially nice time of the year for it (at least, it is in the NE of the US where I am ) @Marley629

I feel you on junk @linzrunz, that is definitely my weakness too! Sweets in particular. I've gathered a few healthy sweet recipes to make this week so I have something on hand. My friend swears by black bean brownies. I've had hers and they are actually really good and only sweetened by coconut sugar which has a lower glycemic index than most other sweeteners. I'll have to let you know when I make them!

@GrabberBlue2010 I may have threw up in my mouth a little reading your GTKY I'm all for Pb&J and ranch, separately!

And congrats on hitting 100lbs lost ladies!! I'm new to this thread so I'm not included yet but I'm happy to have others keeping me accountable

Schumerator · June 2016

@furbabymom2007 way to go!!

dpjennifer · June 2016

Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? SW: 195 CW: 187.0 GW: 150s

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? Get back to eating smaller dinners, since I fell off that bandwagon the past few weeks. Also, last week I barely exercised so I’m 2 days in a row of getting it in and hoping for more yet this week!

Any challenges you're facing this week? Not really. Just stop eating as much sugary junk.

How did you do with your goals last week? Ugh. Not so great. Last Monday was my birthday and I ate a lot of things I shouldn’t have last week, and way too much of it all! Sorry for not checking in, but between the birthday and the family visiting and my work computer suddenly blocking TB for a few days, it was just too hectic!

GTKY: Do you have any strange sounding food combinations that are actually delicious? Not a healthy one, but I love French fries in ice cream (or Wendy’s frosties)

mrsstuessy · June 2016

Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? GW: 150 I am still somewhere around 175. I don't think I lost anything this week.

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? Losing a pound or two would be nice. And keep up the working out. Need to work more on eating healthy. I didn't do really bad. But, having family in town, things all revolve around food. Looking forward to a more normal eating routine.

Any challenges you're facing this week? Not losing anything after working out for a week was a bit of a downer. So, staying motivated is tough.

How did you do with your goals last week? I worked out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday. We will get our pool membership this week so hopefully swim workouts can start soon.

GTKY: Do you have any strange sounding food combinations that are actually delicious? @dpjennifer That is my favorite. It is something I used to do with my dad. French fries in a Wendy's frosty. I can't really think of anything else right now.

mtmama2 · June 2016

Goal Weight OR how are you feeling this week? GW: 160ish I am still somewhere around 200, I don't think I lost anything this week

Fitness and Nutrition Goals for the week? Getting all my runs in and not eating out so much

Any challenges you're facing this week? Going out of town for my cousin's HS graduation this weekend, I'm sure there will be A LOT of tasty bad-for-you treats

How did you do with your goals last week? Fail. Failfailfail.

GTKY: Do you have any strange sounding food combinations that are actually delicious?

1. Ranch on pizza!! I didn't think this was a weird thing until a relative from out of town saw me doing it and flipped out. TRY IT! You will never be able to eat pizza without ranch again.

2. Ketchup and/or hot sauce in mac & cheese

@dpjennifer I love french fries in frosties! DH introduced me to that when we were dating!

@Schumerator Sweet pickles are awesome! I would eat a whole jar by myself

@TravelingCouple I love the 21Day Fix! Autumn is awesome and I like that they make the videos so that any fitness level can do them. I always love the way I feel the first week of doing the meal planning because I have so much more energy and the organization of the container system makes it pretty easy.

KirstinH88 · June 2016

@sienac I eat pizza with ranch on occasion and don't think it's strange at all. Also, I love hot sauce on Mac n cheese! Yum!!! You have good taste!

GrabberBlue2010 · June 2016

@SienaC - Ranch on/with pizza is AMAZEBALLS!!!!!!!

[Deleted User] · June 2016

You guys, I am happy to report, that after basically regaining almost everything I lost the first week (Wednesday was my weigh-in day), I'm already back down another pound! We'll see if by next weigh day I can get back to where I was last week, but at least for today, I am moving in the right diection! Yay!

SW: 165.0; CW: 163.2; GW: 135.0

@GrabberBlue2010 @SienaC
...to the ranch+pizza? Yassssss. I have to have something to dip my crust into, but I will say, marinara is pretty awesome for that, too! (And less calories lol)

@dpjennifer @SienaC some of my favourite family memories are going out to the Wendy's! (Is that bad?) Good times. Frosties and that bangin' SALAD BAR they don't have anymore! #whatistheworldcomingto

*E bc typos*

HHEEELLLLLLLLLSSSS YYYEEESSSSS!!! Get it girl!!! Way to go! So proud of you

AliciaGoose · June 2016

Remember how I said my challenge was to not eat all of the free food provided to me in the last week (and in the coming week)? Yeah, I've failed so far. I'm so far down the rabbit hole of cheating that I don't even think you can call it cheating anymore. I'm pretty sure it's just my normal.

I keep saying 'I'll start for real tomorrow!' and then not doing it. Today I actually said to my DH "I think I need to go out and have ice cream one more time so I can be reallllly sure I don't want to eat it anymore"

Womp Womp!

Schumerator · June 2016

@AliciaGoose that is so me all the time! I really have to attempt and not throw away a whole week if I've been bad a few days, which I tend to do! I have to remind myself that each day is a new day for new choices. Even your next meal is a new choice! You can do it!!

That is literally my exact problem! Not only throwing a whole day down the drain but a whole week! Even right now I'm thinking 'well if I start tomorrow we have a staff lunch, and then there's a picnic Saturday, and it's Father's Day Sunday, so I guess I can't start until Monday' instead of saying 'learn some self control and start with dinner'!
