Hair Growth and Weight Loss Challenge 2015

[HairPleezeGrow]

Since I haven't been able to do my normal exercise routine I've been doing slow walks on treadmill and depending on how my leg feels nothing at all. Still wearing my wigs. I did go ahead and hendigo my hair this morning and took a lc pic. My hair is slowly growing and my back rolls are slowly disappearing lol! The pic on left was taken in Feb and the other one today.

Didn't lose the 2, but I lost 1.6, which still puts me about 0.6 lbs ahead of the projections I made on the 15th since I lost more than 2 last week. Now, I am set up to meet goal at the end of October if I continue to lose 2 per week from this point on. I am going to try to eat a lot more raw food this week since that's what I have in my fridge, and I need to get rid of it before I head to China. I didn't get to this morning, but I will be making lots of green smoothies.

@ClassyJSP: Did you do any of the 10-minute workouts? How were they? 10 minutes sounds more up my alley. I can do hours of lifting but cardio and I are just not friends.

I did one 10 min Tae bo tape I found yesterday for a quick workout. I plan to do a quick 10 min Pilates dvd in the morning

 

[ClassyJSP]

Skipped Tae bo tonight to switch things up I did 30 day shred level 1. I plan on getting my hair blown out at the salon Thursday so I can do a length check. I hope my hair has grown since my trim a few months ago.

Between now and August I want to drop these last 11-12 lbs

 

[ClassyJSP]

Scale says I'm 151.4

Did a quick 10 min workout this morning. Plan to do yoga after work

Doing absolutely nothing Seem to be getting fatter each day. Not motivated to do anything about it. Just looking forward to the weekend and the holiday.

 

[GettingKinky]

@faithVA I'm looking forward to the long weekend too. I'm trying to eat well all week so I can enjoy the BBQ.

@faithVA: hang in there, girl! We all get to that point but it's how we respond that will determine our success! Take some time to take care of yourself and then get back into it. We'll be here for you

 

[ClassyJSP]

Pilates bun & thigh and 10 mins of taebo after work

My mom came over today and she was like "You are getting so skinny". That made me feel good, because my weight has been at a standstill for 3 weeks. Apparently I have been losing inches though

That's so nice. I need you to come lay hands on me though I need an intervention.

 

[ClassyJSP]

Doing 2a days today and tomorrow stomach starting to go down must be due to the Pilates.

No update with my hair i'll just wait until I stop in the salon for a wash and blowdry.

 

[Prettymetty]

I need another short term challenge to focus on. After 8 weeks I tend to get bored. I should start a 30 day ab/squat/leg lift challenge

 

[Prettymetty]

I can't stop eating today. I don't know what's wrong with me

 

[Lovely_Lady82]

Happy Independence Day!!! I hope all of you enjoy the holiday!!

I've been MIA, but I'm trying to make losing weight a priority. I haven't worked out hard in months

7/3 workout: Zumba: (20min) and Cardio Fix

 

[Prettymetty]

I need to start going to the gym again. I bought an ab roller to strengthen my core. I plan to use it every other day for a month and see if it helps

 

[Prettymetty]

I am maintaining my weight at 150 which is an accomplishment considering that I haven't been counting calories or exercising.

I wish this was easier. I wish that I wanted to eat better... Unfortunately I don't always have discipline and self control when it comes to food

Hello, I've been M.I.A. after my episode in the shower scare and working a lot. I went to the doctor's this Wednesday and found out that my blood pressure is 138/90. weigh now 197, and that my uterus is englarged. So, please send prayers my way.

Praying for you @Leo24Rule

Losing weight is so hard for me... I'm hovering at 167lb.. Been exercising to try to drop 10 pounds by Labor Day... My hair has slow progress but it is about 2 inches longer compared to last July.

 

[Prettymetty]

I up a few lbs, but I'm sure it's water retention from working 2 double shifts this week

 

[Leo24Rule]

Been M.I.A
Update: After multiple examinations (x-ray, urine sample, ultrasound, & MRI) it has been concluded I have multiple fibroids. The largest 13 cm & the smallest 3.6 cm.

 

[Prettymetty]

I'm feeling under the weather today and it sucks, because I have a full work week ahead of me and I am coming on this weekend It feels like the start of a respiratory infection...

I got in a quick 30 minute workout yesterday, but I'm sure it was no match for the pizza and wings I ate for lunch. On the brights side I am taking Alli again so at least 1/4 of the fat I eat is being blocked. If I just cut back calories slightly and get in more exercise I should be able to lose 1/2 to 1lb a week for the remainder of the year.

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

Sorry I've been Mia...I've been so down bc I'm not able to workout and I gained like 6lbs in two and half months I feel like crap and my eating hasn't been as good as before. Anyway I went back to neurology Wednesday and they're referring me to Ortho for my leg to see if its my hip. Hope they get this figured out bc I really want to continue working out and loose this weight. Hubby and I are renewing our vowels in May so I gotta get more than half off of me. Were going to have a wedding bc we didn't have one before so this is exciting.

 

[faithVA]

I'm back on FMD. It's the only think that has enabled me to consistently lose weight. I'm nearing then end of my second week and feeling strong in my commitment. I lose 3.5 last week. I was expecting a drop today but so far just holding steady. I have through Sunday so hope to drop at least 2 or 3 by then.

For the last two weeks have been water rinsing every other day and using emu oil almost every day. My growth is steady and I'm retaining better. Making progress but not sure how much or how fast. I need 4 inches for my sides to reach SL. My nape is SL and the area below my crown is just reaching NL.

Just going to keep doing what I'm doing and hope it pays off.

Congratulations @HairPleezeGrow - your weight loss progress is evident and inspiring.

 

[ilong]

Scale says I'm 151.4

Did a quick 10 min workout this morning. Plan to do yoga after work

@ClassyJSP - you still have one of those things^^^^ <lol>??? Mine met with a sudden death last year after reporting false numbers.

Congratulations and good luck on your challenge. You all are going to motivate me to either get on this friggin' elliptical machine that keeps staring at me or use the fitness center membership card that flashes me when I open my wallet.

 

[Leo24Rule]

@davisbr88 what's in Asia?

 

[Prettymetty]

Hey ladies. I'm still trying to maintain my weight loss. I want to drop another 10lbs before the end of the year.
