Excercise Check In week of Jan 12th
Okay first and foremost, if anyone thinks I should name this something different, please speak now! LOL I have no idea!
So, the plan is, this is where we can all post our exercise mins so we can feel like super stars for our hard work, and be challenged/motivated by those around us. Weekly we'll start a new thread, so this doesn't get like 80000 pages long, but I think from week to week one thread will simplify it. I was thinking, all we have to do is basically update this thread with our work out times, and what ever other info we wanna track. Maybe here's how well do it: In my first post of the week, I'll post my name my starting weight, my weigh in for this week, and then my excercise mins for the day. Quote:
So my post a few days later might look like this: Quote:
Oh also, I had about 14 of us interested in our first thread, so that is AWESOME... but anyone who wants to put their stuff in here, feel totally free, this is basically just encouragement for all of us  The more consistent you are though, well the more proud I'm going to be  (and you just may get raked for it for too...)There you have it... Ok I hope you guys will get into this with me! I'm going to post my first check in and... we'll see how this goes EDITING TO ADD: Doing the whole start weight goal weight thing is really really really totally optional... this is totally NOT about making you post stuff you don't wanna, or making you torture yourself with a scale when you don't work well that way! I just encourage everyone to participate how ever they feel most comfortable, because in the end I just want a positive place for us to feel a little more accountable and to feel encouraged to get moving!!

LOL! I like Annie's way of thinking. I'm *really* not comfortable posting exact numbers right now, so we'll go this way:
Starting weight: let's just say my size 14 jeans that I'm wearing right now are a little snug Goal weight: ultimately my goal is about 140. I've learned that for my body, that's where I feel the best. When I weigh less than that, I look WAY too top-heavy. Sunday - 45 min Wii Fit Monday - 45 min Wii Fit Tues - 30 min Wii Fit (had to cut it short for a dentist appt this morning). And I realize the Wii Fit may not be as hardcore as what you guys are doing, but it's the most I've gotten up off my butt and MOVED in years. So, I'm just gonna celebrate my accomplishments. LOL!

ITA! I think that is what it should always be about, celebrating your accomplishments and doing something to make a change.
Be proud libsters! thats awesome!!! Also the no weight thing is FINE i totally meant to post that at the beginging, i'm gonna go edit for that right now, I'd hate to exclude people based on that they don't feel like doing the number thing!

Here I go....
Starting weight: 276 lbs Goal weight: Short-term, 255 lbs (I've been promised a new pair of jeans if I drop another size which I'm about 10 pounds away from doing); long-term I hope to get to 166 pounds (I'm 5'10"), but I figure that will take about a year so I'm focusing on short-term goals. Sunday - 1 hour mixed yoga (i.e., Ashtanga, Power, etc.) Monday - 41 minutes on the treadmill at 3.2 mph average Tuesday - nothing Wednesday - 10 minutes of Spin class (before I dropped out), 35 minutes on treadmill @3.0 mph average Thursday - nothing - too much work on my plate Friday - too flipping cold to go to the gym!! But I know I'm going tomorrow.... gonna take a Zumba class! Saturday - nothing - the gym had absolutely no parking available due to a gymnastics meet so I missed the Zumba class  Sunday - 1 1/2 hours of scraping caulk off of the tub and recaulking it - ouch Other goal - drink more water!

What I loved with the Skinny Jeans Experiment was how you took weekly photos to hold yourself accountable. I can see changes in those weekly photos for sure and two weekends ago I wore the skirt that I was trying to fit into and it is loose on me now. So really short-term goals make it easier on yourself because it's a shorter track to accomplishment and let's face it, when it comes to weight loss we all want fast results. So setting goals that you CAN reach is a kick start because after that it's so addicting that you keep going with it because you see and feel the results!

After careful consideration, I've decided to join. I hate to be left out!!! I'm going to be taking it real easy for the first month. My goal is 10 min of light walking every other day. Like I've said before. I'm on a very strict meal plan and only consume between 800-1000 calories per day. Once I start my second month, my exercise will be more rigorous.
Starting: ummm...totally NOT posting that here!!! Goal: I'm doing mini goals. I have a boat load of weight to lose. My first goal is 25 lbs. My "real" goal is to be able to shop OUT of the plus sizes. Sunday: 120 oz. water Monday: 96 oz. water Tuesday:10 min (2 mph) on treadmill, Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: Saturday: Last edited by SamaraGugler; 01-13-2009 at 04:59 PM.

I'll join
I just had a baby. Pre baby I was around 145-150 and ended up with Gestational diabetes this pregnancy. i lost weight.. gained a bit back, and somehow, ended up weighing a heck of a lot LESS than before I was pregnant. I'm 5'3 and my little cheapie scale tells me that I'm 135 lbs :O How did THAT happen?? I've been more conscious of what I'm eating, but there's some things that I want to stay on top of such as drinking plenty of water, and doing a bit of exercise, which I never.. never did. This was baby #3 and I'll never be back to pre-baby #1 LOL. So for now, my goal is to just lose 5lbs. Claudia Starting Weight 135 lbs Goal Weight 130 lbs Exercise Mins Monday: Nothing Tuesday:

I just want to tell you ladies who are participating.....
(you who aren't and are reading this, don't look! LOL) I did put my weight in my original post with my exercise tracking. Figure if I have to look at it everyday, it'll help keep me motivated. think how cool it will look when I make it to 150#!!!! And I've decided that Sundays start my week (cause that's when I started this mad ride) so that will be weigh in day too! I'll get too frustrated if I weigh myself daily

i NEED to to this. for myself. i have always been tall and thin. underweight in my teen/early 20's. i'm around 5'10" or so and i used to weigh around 125. thats about 10-15 underweight, and i kept that weight for the longest time. even with my first pregnancy i only gained in my belly. then i got preggo with emma. gained more weight than with chloe. then when she was 3 months old, i got preggo with Aidan. still hadn't lost all the weight from having Emma. but, i'm one of those lucky people that seems to lose weight with no effort (you can hate me, lol). i lost pretty much most of it within a year. but, as i am now 30, i see that my metabolism is WAY slower now. i'm starting to gain in my tummy, hips, butt and thighs. eww. so, while the weight number isn't as important to me as the toning itself, i'll post it and keep track. i think i'm actually on the higher end of the weight class for my height, but i'd like to get it a tad bit lower, lol. i just bought a ball. need to use it! oh, and i don't have a scale. so i may not keep up with that real well. my MIL has one, and i weigh myself when i go there. i may just have to get one, lol.
okay. start: 145 Goal: 135, but mostly just tone up the yuckyness Monday: nada Tuesday: nada  extra goal: drink more water. i never drink it, atleast not during the winter. also, just stay motivated! i can do this!

I'm so embarrassed that I refuse to give my original AND current weight. Let's just say I still need to lose 80 pnds for my goal weight. I would be happy with 40, darn those charts LOL! My total loss for last year was 29 pnds. I haven't weighed yet this year.
Walking the dog a mile a day. Today was horribly cold and I felt like dirt so we skipped it. But I'm gonna jump in here tomorrow! Thanks for starting this little topic!

I totally need a kick in the butt to get started, so I'm hoping you ladies will give it to me!
Start: Weighed in at the doctors this morning, fully clothed at 129. Goal: 120, but my real goal is to tone up and lose the flab, I don't really care about the number. Monday: does sitting around all day count? Knitting? Quilting? Guess not. Tuesday: more sitting around.

awesome job, girls! I just got finished for today. I'm stinky and sweaty (drinking water at the moment), and I feel GREAT!
Starting weight: let's just say my size 14 jeans that I'm wearing right now are a little snug Goal weight: ultimately my goal is about 140. I've learned that for my body, that's where I feel the best. When I weigh less than that, I look WAY too top-heavy. Sunday - 45 min Wii Fit Monday - 45 min Wii Fit Tues - 30 min Wii Fit (had to cut it short for a dentist appt this morning). Wednesday - 50 min Wii Fit (20 yoga, 20 aerobic, 5 strength, 5 balance) Other goal: Drink more water (I'm averaging 60oz right now... I want to do 80)
