Congratulations to LeAnna Hamblin she won this week’s weigh in at 2.69% she gets two extra points for the week!
Sorry that this is posted so late I didn’t get a lot of weights on Wednesday they kinda trickled in through the weekend then I was embarrassed about my gigantic weight gain I am just losing my motivation and it is rubbing off on Ryan and I really need to get back to it! Would love some work out buddies or something!
Remember that you need to weigh in every week! You never know where you stand or if I am giving points for weighing in. It is random which weeks will be for points so don’t forget to weigh in EVERY single Wednesday! The winner of every weigh in will receive 2 extra points that week so don’t miss out! How is your protein challenge going? I haven’t gotten one point this week this one is very hard for me… Hope you guys are getting your miles in we only have 12 weeks left in our competition! Good Luck!
-Lyndsi
Also we have a few people who have not paid there fee! If you have not and still want to be a part of this challenge I need you to send it in so I can get a final number on what the winner will receive. If you haven’t paid by Friday I am taking you out of the competition! As of right now the winner will receive $220 and the winner of the points will get the $20 maybe you can get both! Who knows $240 is on the line! Think of what you will get with this money and remember that next time you are tempted to get a cookie or buy a cheese burger!

Here are the results of week 3! Congratulations to Jentry Larsen who lost 2.44%! Congratulations Jentry you get 2 extra points this week! I hope that the move more challenge was challenging enough for everyone! How is the No carbonation challenge going? Is it challenging enough? I sure hope so! Let me know if I can do anything to help or if you want to go on group runs with me!

I am issuing another challenge to walk or run 100 miles before our final weigh in if you would rather do a bike you will need to do 120 miles. Log your miles every week on your score card or on another sheet of paper. If you complete this 100 miles or 120 miles you get 10 more points! Remember the more points you get the more advantages you get at the final weigh in! If everyone is getting points and you are not then you will be behind everyone in the final weigh in... so get all the points you can. If you can get the most points you get a prize! So get out there run and walk or ride your bike! You will all do great!

I still need a lot of second week weights along with some starting weights! If you don’t give me your weights week by week… first of all you’re not being held accountable and second of all you won’t be able to track where you are with others in the competition and third you are going to be at a disadvantage starting late! The most important I need it starting weights! I still need them from #’s 032, 027, 022, 021, 018, 014 Please get them to me the moment you read this. Thank you!
Week 2 challenge…. Move more challenge… Basically you need to move more everyday! Example... Park as far away as possible or walk places, take the stairs instead of the elevater, sit on a stability ball at work or while watching TV, do squats, crunches, push ups, sit ups, planks, etc while watching TV, take your kids or pets on more walks and bike rides, JUST KEEP MOVING! At the end of the day if you have moved as much as you could've moved all day you get that point for the day. Make sense? Good luck let me know what you guys do so I can share with everyone more ideas... Any Ideas

Weight loss challenge


My starting weight is 254.8. I asked you all to send me a picture of your first weigh in I thought I would do the same by showing all of you... I don't have anypost for the challenge this week because in the future I will only be showing you percentage lost and of coarse you haven't lost anything yet!

Thank you for being a part of my weight loss challenge! I am so excited to get started! Each week I will be posting the results of the weeks challenge here on my blog at lyndsiloser.blogspot.com and everyones weight will not be posted just the percentage lost each week and they will be posted with each ID number. No one will know who is winning and who is falling behind because everyone will have an ID #. I hope that you will still update me one your weight each week as you embark on this journey.

Your first challenge is your water and 100% whole grain challenge. You get 1 point each day for drinking 64 ounces of water that day and 1 point for eating only 100% whole wheat or whole grains each day. Each day this week is worth 2 points.
For the water challenge get a mug or cup that has measurements on it and use it as a reference to see how many of those mugs/cups of water you need each day. Pretty simple right? If you don't drink your water you do not get points for the days you do not drink it!
For the 100% whole grains whole wheat part of the challenge you CANNOT eat white breads or rice or half and half. If you eat white or half and half you don't get that point for the day and you should try again for the next day! This is really simple just look in the ingredients for the bread as you buy it and it will tell you if it is made with any enriched flour or not! Nothing enriched! with rice use long grain brown rice!
Good Luck Challenge starts Now! You are going to do so well!

First Day with my New Trainer

This morning was my first day with my new trainer. I love her, I don't feel awkward with her like I did with Jake. She had a plan and took notes and I could tell that she really cared about my goals and my concerns. We didn't do a whole lot today just tested my strength so that she knew where to start with me. We did a little circket training, I felt like she made the most time we had left to good use. I asked her about my fit fusion class and 5k training and she thinks that that is great. I am very excited, I'm going to be one hot mamma!
I went to jamba juice today and got a juice, I love jamba juice! I never really liked them before. I am still sserching for the perfect drink there let me know what your favorites are. I have had the most stressful day with babies throwing up and drs appts I just wanted to buy a giant box of ding dongs and down them all... But I refrained and I am so proud... can't wait to train tomorrow.

Work outs 2 for 2

This week I have been 2 for 2 on workouts! I went running with my running partner Lindsay yesterday and this morning I went to yoga. First yesterday (Monday) we went running and we kicked butt on workout two of our 5k program. I am so excited that we have each other to push one another. I feel like I am holding her back a little though, I don't have a very long stride. It is hard to pull around all this extra weight! I think I will be much faster when I weigh less so I hope that I can lose 20-30 pounds before our 5k on July 16th. I am excited for Thursday so we can accomplish our first week of Training Then we will be on to the next week!
Second Yoga today was so good I went to a beginner class I felt more comfortable in a beginner class. I could do more things that they were doing. We did a hip stretch that felt so good (Running is really hard on my hips). I also did... Wait for it... A Head Stand! Last time I tried I couldn't grasp the concept, this time I did. I only got off the graound for two seconds and freaked out but I did IT!
I have a such a good week so far I could not get off this feeling even if I wanted to. I want to feel like this every single day! I am going to do morning workouts as much as possible so that I can feel good all day and not want to eat badly.
Lindsay and I are starting Thursday and we are going to make our meals for a whole week together so We not only have it planned out but have it all ready in the fridge for when we are ready to go. I always eat good when I have it on hand! I am just looking for something fast when I want something! You know that is the only reason I eat fast food hence the FAST part. I can't wait to see my results next week! It will be one for the books!
HERE WE GO!

Starting New and 5K!

Okay now that you all have seen fail misserably and shut everyone out... Here I go again! I am starting today with a new game plan. I am making more rules for myself
Rule 1: No Sugar
Rule 2: No White bread Whole grains only!
Rule 3: Exercise Every day but Sunday
I am terribly excited about it mostly because Ryan is doing it with me! We are going to train togetherish for a 5k, we can't really ever go at the same time seeing that we have taylor and taytum.
I am really excited to start new and start good. I feel like such a Failure I never want to do it again. I got so down when I hurt my ankle. I knew every diet I have ever tried without exercise has sadly failed. Once I hurt my ankle my mind went into this mode of lose and depression. I never want to get there again.
I want to go buy a really expensive pair of jeans in a size 14. I would love to be a 10 but I think realistically I am more likely to get into a size 14 then I will work into a size 10. I want to put this pair of jeans on my wall. I will look at this pair of jeans every day and see what I can be and how I spent all that money I should really work to be able to wear them down. What do you think of this motivation???
Sorry I have not been posting I feel like you don't really want to hear me whine every day! I am ready to get back on that scale and show you how badly I have messed up and never do that again here we go...

I only gained 5 pounds and I thought it would be much more! I am so disappointed in myself, but I have to get over it and move on. I am starting a 5k program its called the C25k program (Couch to 5K) I am super excited Ryan is going to train by himself well with his friends and I am going to train on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays with my friend Lindsay Bowers. I am excited to have a running buddy I have always done it on my own and have not succeeded. I have done this program before and I failed so misserably. I tried to run a 5k on New Years Eve I trained a ton in August and procrastinated and tried to do the program in just a few weeks. You can't skip steps in life and that is what I learned. I am on my way to being fit and sexy can't wait to meet me!

Waiting!

Waiting to feel better.... I am sick of the pain and I wish I have been better on my diet but the other day I ate a little container of cookies because I could reach them and I didn't have to ask Ryan to get them for me. I have snacked alot because what else could I do. I am scared to step on the scale I think I've gained all that I have lost. I feel so helpless! I can walk on it now but my boot is awkward and I only last about an hour standing. We went to r.c. Willey to buy our tv. I did really good but paid for it later! I foing to miss my fit fusion classes for a couple weeks but can't wait until I can get back. I feel better and do better on my diet when I work out before I start my day! I have done so aweful on my diet I have been telling myself I deserve this I am injured! I always do better when I have the endorphines from working out! I can't wait to get back and start training for my 5k.

Injured and upset

I went to fit fusion this morning! I love fit fusion today we did speed and agility. I was doing so good I was keeping up with the class but during our last lap on our last thing we were working on I came down on my ankle and heard a POP! I tore three ligaments in my ankle and one in my foot. I am stuck in a boot for two weeks and I have to stay off it for a couple days. I am so disappointed! I feel so helpless! I am going to be working on my diet in these next two weeks!

Aweful week two!

I have disappointed myself this week. I didn't lose a single pound. I set my goal really low so that I could achieve it and get past this dreadful second week of dieting that is the week that I always give up on! I am so sick of being in this body. I can't find cute clothes that fit. On top of thay I have giant size 11 feet and the only store I can find my size is payless and even then they don't make every shoe they carry in size 11! I can't control my feet and I avoid shoe shopping at all cost but I want to be sexy and I want people to think wow she can't be a mom!
So this week was hard to lose weight because my girls were sick the first of the week and I couldn't go to the gym. My trainer also didn't show up for my session because I had to reschedule to take the girls to the doctor and he put it down for wednesday when it was suppose to be thursday I am getting a new trainer he doesn't make me feel like I am worth anything to him when I am training with him he is staring at the clock he makes me feel like I am revolting to him or something.
I want to start going to the gym every morning at 5 to start my day off and it'll help me to eat all day and I won't have to worry about a babysitter and there will ne lots of classes that early. I lovd fit fusion but it is hard core. I throw up every single time I go Jake says that is something I get use to and don't throw up after a while.
This week I did yoga, Maile came with me and it kicked our butts. We even did head stands. I can't do one yet but I will someday. My butt was sore for two days after.

Wednesday and Thursday

The past two days have been so hard for me. I have been so so sore from my workout with jake on Tuesday. I went in yesterday to do some cardio, i worked on the eliptical for 45 minutes. Today I did 30 minutes on the eliptical before i worked out with jake. We did chest and back today to help improve my posture.
He gave me my calories I need to be eating per day and i need to be eating 2100 calories. I thought I needed like 1800 and i never really get more than 1500 jake thinks that could be part of the reason i haven't been successful in the past. I hope with a new calorie goal i can be very successful.
My goal tomorrow is to go to fit fusion class and eat 2100 calories. Hopefully my legs will have recooperated by morning.

First Day with a Trainer

I had my first training session today with a trainer. It felt really nice to know I was getting what I needed out of a workout. My Trainer and I don't mesh very well I might switch if I don't feel more comfortable with him after awhile. I guess I can't get a BOB from biggest loser but I should get who I want right? We worked out my legs, shoulders, and core. I learned that the reason my back always hurts when I do abdominal work outs is because I arch my back if I start arching is when I stop.
I did really well on my protein today for breakfast I had a glass of milk with my fruit and fiber one bar, I had a handful of peanuts later when I really wanted a Muffin. For lunch I had a Turkey Sandwich and my next snack I had another sandwich. For dinner I made Italian Chicken and Brown Rice with green beans. It was a really good day all in all. I loved the gym I wish my session was longer than 40 minutes but I had to get home so Ryan could get to work. It was a Stressful day and I really wanted to snack every time I finally got the girls to calm down. I felt I deserved it but I didn't give in all because of you guys.

Here is my dinner recipe

Italian Chicken 236 Calories per serving
20 ounces Chicken raw Chicken Breast
1 package Fat Free Cream Cheese
1 14 ounce can Low sodium Cream of Mushroom soup
1 Package Italian Seasoning dressing mix


Mix cream cheese, soup, and seasoning together, pour over chicken in a crock pot. Cook on low for 5 hours or high for 3 hours

4 ounce chicken and 1/2 cup sauce 236 Calories
1/2 cup Long grain brown rice 108 Calories
1 cup green beans 40 Calories
Total 384 Calories


Tomorrow Wednesday
Goals
Exercise: 45 Minutes Cardio and 15 Minutes core
Tomorrow I don't have a session with my trainer so I have to push myself and make myself work hard.
Diet: Log all my food and get all my calories in
My biggest problem is trying to get enough calories for the day and still eat the right things.

:ONE DAY AT A TIME!

Incentive and Motivation

Today was a good day I met my two goals. I met with a personal trainer today I am starting a program tomorrow. I am suppose to be at my goal weight of 160 pounds and 20% body fat in one year. Ryan promised me that we would go on a cruise once I get to my goal weight. I am excited for that cruise next year. Lol! I also promised myself I couldn't have another baby until I ran a marathon but that'll be next summer sometime.
Ryan and I are also starting a bet between eachother. Who ever goes without fast food the longest gets 50 dollars to spend on whatever we want. Im going to use it to buy my fancy dress for my cruise!
My goal for tomorrow is to have my protein every three hours and to step it up at the gym. Every day I will be setting a nutrition goal and an exercise goal. Wish me luck

Manipulation and Chocolate

Sunday March 20, 2011

I have decided that Sunday will be my day off from exercise, goals, and logging food. Not a CHEAT day, but a day of rest like Sunday should be. In the past I have had a hard time with cheat days, I always make excuses for myself. "I can have treats today too because I cheated yesterday why not do it for today too and start over tomorrow?" My diets up to this point have been a giant excuse to myself. I am my worst manipulator! Not anymore, I am giving myself a day (Sundays) to not worry about my calories. But I will still be eating good foods. No Sugar even on Sundays! This morning I did have a muffin for breakfast which is a big NO NO! I didn't even think about it until I was throwing my wrapper in the trash I was making breakfast for the girls and just started snacking. I feel that I should be completely honest with this blog and I will have no way to manipulate myself. Thinking "Just eat it! You don't have to blog about it!"

Today in relief society we were talking about the word of wisdom. When you think about the word of wisdom you think of drugs and alcohol right? Today we talk about keeping our bodies healthy and how that related to the word of wisdom. We talked about our diet and harming ourselves but putting bad stuff into our bodies. How when we've gotten to a point that we don't just want something, we NEED it like Chocolate or Soda! Also how we should stay active to keep our mind and bodies healthy.
I really think that this lesson was for me today. In thinking about it, I know I have not been doing the right things for myself. I have an addiction to Chocolate! Whenever I bought chocolate to bring home I would do one of two things with it. I would either hide so I can eat it all myself over time or I would Eat it all before Ryan got home so I could eat it ALL! Then I would drive to the store just for a box of ding dongs or a bag of reeses. I would think about it all morning and plan out how I would get there. I feel like Chocolate controls my life. Well NO MORE!

In the past I have always done better on diets if I also exercise! I love the gym environment and going to classes like spinning, yoga, fit fusion, zumba, etc. Exercise also makes me a happier person. I love the endorphins I get while at the gym. Tomorrow I am going to do my first free training session with a personal trainer. I am excited but scared to see what kind of physical shape I am in. I think I kind of know with how sedentary I have been until recently.

Mondays goals:
I am going eat all 1800 calories my body needs
I am going to hit my calorie burn of 3500 calories

One of the tools I am using to count the calories I burn is The Bodybugg that they use on The Biggest Loser. I was really excited when I got it for christmas thinking it would do all the work for me but it still is alot of work to log all the food into the system so it can tell you your calorie deficient so you can estimate how much you will lose. 3500= 1 pound so if I burn 1000 calories more per day than I eat I will lose 2 pounds a week. It is really cool tool that will help me alot if I use it right.

The Night Before

Tonight I am saying goodbye to my chocolate, my sweet rolls, and my white bread. Why you ask? I am starting yet again another weight loss journey. Now I know your thinking oh my goodness Lyndsi is this ever going to actually happen? You've done this a thousand times before and you always fail or make an excuse to give up. Not this time! I have to answer to this blog. I hope that I can have followers that can make me answer for my actions. Now I am not going to post my weight or anything tonight I am blogging it all in tomorrow. I needed to just start this so I had to answer to you all tomorrow!

My Long term goal is to lose 100 Pounds by the year 2012.

Now I truely believe that long term goals are not possible without short term goals!
My long term goal being so big i need alot of really good short term goals to help make me feel as if I have accomplished things!

My goal this week is to lose 4 pounds.

My goal for tommorow (Saturday) is to log all my food "Diet is 80% of weigh loss"

I want to tell you all a little about my history in weight loss. I have been a heavy girl my entire life. I think the last time I wore a size 12 pant was in 7th grade. Every year I got new clothes for school not because it was a new school year, it was because I had gained so much weight. I never really understood why I couldn't eat the entire box of donuts, Or why i needed to go outside and be active, When every sport I tried I was the worst on the team and during games I would sit on the side. Then I found track thinking this was no envoronment where I would be compared to anyone. My coach was also a football coach. He made fun of me for sticking my tongue out at the end of a sprint.... I never went back.
My best friend Ashley helped me start to understand that I didn't have to be in a compititive environment to be active. She would wake me up every day in the summer early and we would run around the block and stop at her house and do pilates. I loved that I wasn't being compared to another person or team. I wasn't so great at running. I could barely make it up the street. I felt so dumb most days but Ashley made me feel like I could do anything.
Then school started 9th grade, new school. I was so excited to try sports now that i was more active. Still I was not picked for the team I was a Manager. I would go to every practice and eat my candy bar while I watched everyone ELSE. At the end of 9th grade my cousin from salem had lost 90 pounds. I concidered her and I to be one in the same. I was so excited for her. Her mom Tami had lost all her weight and had chosen a career in Personal Fitness training. She starting telling us to watch what we ate and how much we ate. So I wrote everything down. It felt so good. That summer I spent 2 weeks with my Aunt Tami and my Cousin Tiffani. I lost twenty pounds. It was like being on the biggest loser then had healthy meals for me and took me to the gym every morning and pushed me. I was feeling so good. I was going to start school eating right and staying active. We got me a gym pass to Stroops Fitness and a buddy pass so I could bring with me whoever I wanted.
High School then started and on the very first day your being rushed during lunch and I had my snacks for between meals. I got a salad at Mcdonalds for lunch. Mcdonalds was were my ride chose to go for lunch I sat down to eat and some senior boy said to me "Your going to eat a salad.. Good luck with that" he said with a chuckle. I was so embarrased I had no time to eat it. I had to throw half my salad away. I ate cheese burgers the rest of the year. I started a job at Tinseltown and got free popcorn and soda everytime I worked. I ate popcorn for dinner most nights and got addicted to DR. Pepper. Junior year went pretty much the same way. I stayed active and went to the gym and took a body building class which I loved. So i never really gained much after I gained all those twenty pounds I had worked so hard for.
My senior year was when it went further down the hill for me. I was happy and was fine with my body even though I could've lost twenty or thirty pounds I was still happy until I was date raped. I was so down I created a relationship with him and was verbally abused and manipulated and my only comfort was food. After gaining thirty more pounds I found a way out. I felt I deserved to be treated better after I met someone who showed me I was worth more.
I later met my husband ryan and was so happy, but wanted to be Mrs. Housewife and made lots of fatty homecooked meals and still couldn'tbring myself to the gym.
After having twin girls and getting to my all time high of 284 pounds I decided to start my weight loss journey yet again. I stopped drinking soda in August 2010 and have not had any since. I did really well and lost 20 pounds and here I am again ready to change my life and be healthy and happy for my wonderful husband Ryan and my two beautiful girls Taylor and Taytum!
Wish me luck!
