Bahama Mamas Bikini Challenge

[alove4candles]

zraik Jeep took my idea... I use the Majic eraser as well.

Jeep sounds like your having fun with your deep fryer!! Keep us posted on your recipes. glad your back OP!

[zraikmom]

jeep i'm so happy that you checked in. i was getting worried about you. we all have those bad days, or couple of days, or even a week sometimes....but the good news is you got back on track yesterday.. and good for you. we can't always have every day be a great day...cuz then we wouldn't know what a really good day was..
don't even weigh yourself at all for a couple of days. just walk right past that stupid scale and don't even think about it. your OP now and thats all that matters.

btw ladies...thanks for all the advice about the wall and all. i need to stop at the store on the way home from working out and buy a magic eraser. if that doesn't work than i will just have to paint it. i wanted to change the color of my kitchen anyway. i just didn't want to change to highlighter green.

Thanks. I do tend to melt down and hide when I've been cheating. I get so darn mad at myself, cuz I know better and I feel like total crapola for days afterward. Like last night and this morning, a migraine from hell. Coming down off of sugar/carbs. Duh. Ouch!

hmmm, neon greenmight be a little bright in the morning, but on the bright side...no coffee needed
Magic erasers are the best!!!

Don't get upset Beach. That's what I was doing. Thinking I wasn't losing anyway, may as well go off lan or whatever. Just keep sticking with it, it will start to reverse directions!

I know, but I feel like I've been wasting time and I would be at goal if I didn't get frustrated and cheat. I keep going back in my mind to remember how I did things the first time, and I think I eat cleaner for the most part now...I'm just WAY older now The first time, I lost the weight really quick, like 20 pounds in 3 months. I've not lost but a few pounds now. I am really getting to a point that I'm getting fired up and wanting to kick butt...hope it's not a fleeting moment!

[Amity228]

Beach,

Daughter and I are wondering is your avatar a crab?

[beachagain]

It better be, or my DD is in troubleShe is 15 and getting to be a pain

I got this from pic's she downloaded. I couldn't find any good beach pic's and I felt kinda crabby

Me too! I hope mine isn't fleeting, either. Ever since I polished off the last of that damn cake , I've been so ready to get down to business. I've exercised every day for the last 5 days, which might seriously be coming close to a record for me! I was getting bored with my food, and so now I've decided to give myself a little more leniancy in making Linda Sue recipes. So many of them are so high in calories and fat, not to mention have tons of cheese- I'd stopped making them altogether. But this week I'm back to eating them.
As much as I hate Fitday, I have been faithfully inputting all my food and activities. I'm also really trying hard to start upping the carbs a little, but it's SO hard. When I see myself hit 20 on Fitday, I have a hard time adding anything else.

[FatFatnomore]

Yeah, seriously Riot. Not only have you been exercising consistantly, you've been exercising A LOT every day. I fully expect you to be past your bewitching weight next week.

[RiotGirl08]

Ugh, I hope so. I'd hate to think I was doing all this extra work just to see 156... AGAIN! Now, if you keep your ass on plan for another 7 days, and don't wimp out on me with the exercise challenge, then you'll finally see the 180's next weigh in!!

[RiotGirl08]

and BTW, you're confusing the hell outta me. Your stats say 191.4, your sig says 192,and neither of those were your weight today
Get wit (that's right, WIT) da program homey!!!
See, what would you do without me to remind you to update????

[FatFatnomore]

Yeah seriously, if I'm not in the 180's by next weigh in then I'm a total loser. I still plan to do the exercising, I'm just going to be short one day since yesterday I screwed it up.

[FatFatnomore]

Hahahaha! I know. I don't think I changed my profile weight at all since this challenge started. How sad is that? This whole challenge I've been struggling to get back to where I was BEFORE this challenge started!

[RiotGirl08]

Whatever, I'm still struggling to get back to what I weighed on 2/15!! Seriously, at the end of red hot mamas, I was at 158! That was the last challenge that I didn't screw around. All through Spring and so far this challenge I've been screwing around, eating off plan way too much, not exercising. Hopefully I can end this challenge below 156

[FatFatnomore]

You will. You still have two more weigh-ins. It's impossible for you to not be below 156 by then. Who knows, maybe you'll have a whoosh and actually be in the 140's by the end of this challenge!

[FatFatnomore]

Oh, and at least we know how to maintain our weight now, even eating off plan here and there. So really, we haven't failed these last few months, we've just been practicing our maintenance skills so that when we get to our ideal weight we won't have to worry about gaining it all back.

SO true. I've been thinking this myself, but it's totally true. I'm perfectly content to make LC a way of life for me. However, I know that the reality of my life is that me never eating HC again is so not gonna happen. Birthdays, holidays, the occasional craving.... I'm now confident that I'll be able to enjoy some favorite HC foods, but without going totally overboard and getting back up to 200 pounds.

[RiotGirl08]

OMG, I have been RAVENOUS the last few days. I'm not sure if it's from all the exercise, or what??!! No problem upping my carbs today, I'm currently wolfing down a second helping of the Taco Bake. I'm afraid to check my calories in Fitday now!!

ETA: O M F G..... 1900 CALORIES!!!!!

[hellsbelles]

I finished 3 miles earlier this evening and used the weights again. I don't know if I plan to do the 3 mile video every day but hopefully I'll get that in 4 days this week and then maybe do a mile or something else the other days. I don't know how on earth I will work out everyday until June 2nd but I'll give it the college effort!!

[beachagain]

I'm hungry
I haven't planned dinner
I don't have time to exercisebecause I have to turn in a paper that I haven't written

[zraikmom]

I got my 28 minutes of running in today. It almost killed me but i did it.
I'm super thirsty tonight.
dh and I are going to try to do 25 sit ups tonight. we are going to try and increase 5 every
night till vacation.

hope everyone has a good night.

[jeepifer]

I didn't get my running in today. I spent the night coming up with deep fried artichokes and batter. Will try to upload pics soon. Came out ok, using a combo of almond flour and Carbquik. Will try Parmesan again when I get some in again.

Now to check the carb damage

[Snickerdoolers]

Evening ladies, just wanna say the concert was 2 hours and 15 minutes long. That is a bit ridiculous and i'm gonna complain in the morning. Every year it gets longer. My girls are an hour and 15 min. late to bed! Anyhoo, did one mile on tread and i have officially decided i hate my treadmill! Rather be outside!
Cya in the morning all!

[RiotGirl08]
