my week in weight loss


Its been a week since my friends and I started this Biggest Loser Challenge.  Its meant to go strong for 8 weeks and who ever has lost the highest percentage of their body weight gets the pot.  We all put in $10 and right now there is 20 ladies.  So its a nice incentive!  


Anyways, this last week was pretty neat. I am wanting to lose 12-15 lbs.  I am 5'3'' (small frame) and weighed in at 140 at the start of this challenge.  This morning I stepped on the scale and noticed that I had lost 3lbs.  That's a great start, I think.  I thought I did particularly good in the exercise category.  I spent at least 20 minutes on the elliptical 4x and I did my sit ups and body conditioning.  Which is pretty good for me.  I tried to do the calorie counting but failed a bit.  Each night I would end up going over my recommended allowance.  Oh well...at least it wasn't by a whole lot.

I am taking my multi vitamin and drinking lots of water daily.
Any other suggestions for me?

One of my favorite tips is whenever I'm watching tv, I get up during the commercials and just walk in place or do some light weight lifting! Or something like that. I also suggest hula hoop! It's a GREAT way to tone your stomach.

good job! i suck at working out, but my tip would be walking. go outside, walk. go to a mall, walk (excuse to shop, right?) also try small challenges like... do as many push ups as you can. the next day, try 1 extra and so on. you'll find that it builds your stamina and you'll say "whoa, i never thought i'd be able to do 50 push ups in 1 months time" or whatever.

the little things really add up. that goes for food, as well (at least for me, it does) when i go over my calories, i can tell. i'm bloated and the scale yells at me every time i try to sneak something in!

Eat lots of protein, good carbs, healthy fats and a small amount of a moderate amount, and the vitamins, minerals and many foods containing antioxidants. The proper ratio of nutrients is the foundation of a successful diet too much.
