Lets start a 'biggest loser' thread

Why dont we all help each other get motivated and post our workout/weight loss goals and then each day write our accomplishments or downfalls. We can give advice, suggestions on workouts, and encouragement.

THOUGHTS???

Re: Lets start a 'biggest loser' thread

Sounds good to me! I am back on the bandwagon as of yesterday!

I lost 20lbs over the summer & have since gained back 10lbs (thanks to the holidays)!

Back to no processed sugars, low carbs & TONS of water!!!!

Re: Lets start a 'biggest loser' thread

I love this idea
I need to lose exactly 20lbs.
Wahoo!!!

Re: Lets start a 'biggest loser' thread

Goals:

-Drink more water
-Eliminate soda (SO HARD)
-Reduce # of caffeinated beverages
-Exercise 5 times per week for at least 50 min/day
-INcorporate strength training (I do cardio every day, but want to add in some weights to help tone)

Sadly the hardest one for me so far is the soda - I am a serious Diet Coke addict.

Side note - Anyone watch The Biggest Loser on Wednesday - that show is SO motivational!

Re: Lets start a 'biggest loser' thread

Im already a pretty big gym freak so my gym goals are:
- increase the weight im using at the gym
-add another day of strength
-burn AT LEAST 500 cals w/ each cardio w/o
-tone up my tummy

Other goals:
-limit to ONE glass of wine a week (this will be HARD)
-cut out sweets to a minimal

My biggest goal is too feel good on the HM. I think i will be fine on the wedding day bc my dress is so 'big' and only my upper body is exposed and that is in good shape.

But for HM i want to look amazing on the beach ad when we go out!!!

Re: Lets start a 'biggest loser' thread

This is a great idea.

Goal:

I want to lose at least 30 pounds B4 wedding

I will be on my treadmill everyday for the next 4 months

I will do weight training at least 3 times a week starting next month (don't want to overdue it right now)

I want to tone up my arms because my dress is strapless

Overall I want to be slimmer and healthier.

Re: Lets start a 'biggest loser' thread

My goal is to lose 20 pounds by my wedding. I started my healthy eating habits and working out again as of this past Tuesday. I have lost 1 full pound since Tuesday doing this. I am soooo happy.

Re: Lets start a 'biggest loser' thread

I'm so loving this idea. I'm in.


My Goal:
lose 15 lbs. and tone up

I started eating better on Monday 1/2 and started a wedding ready program at the gym Tuesday 1/3. I'm hoping on a 1-2 lb. weight lose by Monday 1/9.

I have a trainer twice a week and the other days I will go on the treadmill or elliptical for atleast 30 min.


I'm also going to try to cut my beer drinking down. It'll be hard, I love my beer on the weekends, but this is more important.

BUMP
Come people...........

Re: Lets start a 'biggest loser' thread

I LOVE this trhead!

My goals:
-Eliminate soda(eerrrggg....so hard)
-Not eat out so much
-exercise at least 3 times per week (also hard because I work so much)
-No snacking to fill me up at work
-lose 10 pounds and tone (lets start with baby steps)

Re: Lets start a 'biggest loser' thread

I need to lose about 20lbs...I want to tone up my arms and basically try to resume or somewhat resume my love of the gym that I had in college Those were the days of size 4 and eating what I wanted

Re: Lets start a 'biggest loser' thread

Count me in - My goal is to lose at least 20 pound before my wedding. I already started weaning myself off of sugar and processed carbs and trying to drink water with every meal.

So far I have been eating a lot of grilled chicken breast with different roasted vegetables. I went out and bought the South Beach Diet Cookbook to try and get more ideas.

Re: Lets start a 'biggest loser' thread

Me too! My goal is to lose 20 lbs before the wedding and tone up my entire body (especially my arms!). I started back on WW hardcore, and Monday I'm starting at the gym again. I go to a University gym, and I think in February I'm going to take a bellydancing class that is offered!!
