Weight-Loss ACCOUNTABILITY CONTEST - The Green Team Thread

Weight-Loss
Ok so I haven't posted much this week. I have been soooo busy!! But I'm going to update all of my stuff tonight because tomorrow I wont be around to do it. Good news. I'm down another 2 lbs. I also managed to eat breakfast everyday and I accomplished 8 hours and 40 minutes of workout time this week!
 
Sorry guys- busy week, I will update stuff later today. My scale is up where I can't get to it since we have been doing house work. I have to make my brother come get it out of the attic. lmao. I will update my weight later.
 
so now our team is in last place :willy_nilly:

come on guys!!! we can still pull it back - just try to remember to post the weekly results!!!!
 
Back from my travels - sorry not to check in last week, but I was without scale, so it wouldn't have done a bit of good.

Not going to make any attempt to get points from this week's challenge, because I think it's dumb. If I happen to have nothing carbonated, that's fine, but I'm not going to go out of my way to avoid it for a week.
 
Isn't that kind of unfair to every else who is giving every challenge their best every week? I mean, it is the accountability contest. I'm not trying to cause any problems or anything, I just think we need to all put forth our best effort.
 
Eh. "Don't consume anything carbonated for a week" IMHO has no relevance to either weight loss or health. Particularly since the logic behind it was "Even diet soda [...] can add unnecessary calories to your daily intake." I'd feel the same way about an "eat a live goldfish because people who eat fish are less likely to be overweight" challenge.

I've got a bad attitude towards anything that makes my real life harder at the moment, so if you (or anyone else) would prefer I drop out of the challenge, I have no issue with that. I'm perfectly capable of keeping myself on track without it, and while I'd normally rise to even a stupid challenge as a way of keeping life interesting, I'm currently finding my life to be a lot more interesting than I prefer without artificial enhancement.
 
CHANGES TO BONUS CHALLENGE


Okay - since we have a few people who aren't too "fond" of the NO SODA Bonus Challenge - I am going to revise the Bonus Challenge for this week.

Since we have already lost a day - this challenge will run Monday 6/23 through Saturday 6/28.

I want everyone to have a fair chance at getting bonus points - and it wasn't my intention to have anyone say "I'm just not doing it". Don't want to cause any type of resentment on the teams.

So, this week's challenge will be to add CALCIUM to your diet.



Everyone will need to add 1000mg each day to achieve the bonus.

You can do this the good ole fashion way by eating or drinking more calcium - or you can take calcium supplements.

If anyone doesn't like this challenge - too bad! I tried! :sifone:

Have a great week!​
 
No way!! I just bought loads of water! LOL now I can have my diet coke and a million watery drinks too! Calcium isnt a prob as i take a multivit every day so i think i will stick with the drink no soda idea (even if its not worth any points!)

Food for today

Lunch - Chicken wrap with wedges 600 cals

Dinner - 3 small rolls with mayo and low fat crisps 650 cals (a god awful choice i know but i really wanted them!

Snacks - 1 pkt wotsits 95 cals, coffee 30 cals, 2 slices pineapple 160g 66 cals

Total cals - Well under 1500 cals today

Exercise

20 mins WII aerobics
10 mins WII yoga
45 mins body combat
20 mins walking dog (abt 1.5 miles)

Bonus - 1000mg calcium np probs :Angel_anim:

No one has asked you to resign from the team, but straight out saying that you wont do a challenge just because you dont like it isnt very team spirited! I wasnt a fan of the water challenge in week 1 but i did it for the points! Looks like the bonus has changed now and we might get some much needed points this week - altho there isnt much point if everyone doesnt do it.

Is there anyone still doing this????? Our team has hardly any posts for this week....come on green team!!!!
 
Ok so yesterday:

2 slices of whole wheat toast with a little dab of butter
1 chicken ceasar salad
20 triscuits with cheese
1000mg calcium supplements
Tons of water

Exercise was kind of ridiculous today!
Work had a challenge against another organization where we had tasks and a scavenger hunt at the end. We ended up running for pretty much an hour and a half. I'm Soooo sore today!

Today:
10 triscuits with cheese
2 taquitos and that's it so far.
Lots of water
Supplement taken yet again.
Update more later.

Exercise: Ran for half an hour
 
Sunday:
Food: hard boiled eggs, a giant bowl of lettuce from the garden with some ranch dressing, pork tenderloin, stir-fried green beans, raspberries and rice pudding, peanut butter on a tortilla.

If you eat 12 cups of baby lettuce that's grown up into big lettuce, despite its astonishingly bitter taste, you may find yourself with two days of bellyache and no ability to taste anything at all. Just a word of advice to anyone who might decide to do such a thing.

Exercise: 90 minutes of hard yardwork. I have no clue what I was doing that worked my inner thighs, but I felt them for the next two days.

Monday: a handful of almonds, Chinese buffet (work lunch), banana/flax/chocolate syrup smoothie, a kiwi, steak and corn, a beet (greens and all) from the garden, pork tenderloin, rice pudding, sugar snap peas with ranch. Calcium: 1158 + a 500mg supplement.

Tuesday: blackberries from the you-pick farm, blueberries, almonds, cottage cheese, more blackberries, more blueberries, more almonds, more cottage cheese, steamed tilapia, peanut butter tortilla, rice pudding, half a cherry tomato from the garden, deviled eggs, a frozen single-serve chocolate milk. Calcium: 944 + a 500mg supplement. I love cottage cheese, but it's utterly worthless for calcium.

Wednesday: peanut butter tortilla, the rest of the blackberries, a kiwi, cauliflower with cheese sauce, banana/flax/chocolate syrup smoothie, broccoli with cheese sauce, pork tenderloin, a spoon of peanut butter. Calcium: 1658 + a 500mg supplement.

Exercise: an hour of Wii-yoga and Wii-strength. I've finally figured out how to do a decent pushup, thanks to that cursed pushup-and-side-plank exercise. Too out of practice after ~2 weeks without it to do some of the ab-heavier stuff, or the one-legged yoga.

Family issues are managing to stay suppressed, so I'm actually sleeping (so not needing my caffeine fix), but I anticipate that will change tomorrow evening.
 
I'm not a big fan of fishy fish but after my mom telling me about it we've been eating tilapia at least once a week and it is so good! After reading your food diary though I want a berry smoothy so bad, lol. Good job on the healthy eating :)
 
Food for today

Lunch - Chicken salad sandwich 450 cals, pineapple 44 cals

Dinner - Quorn chilli with rice and yoghurt 700 cals

Thursday: almonds, a kiwi, chicken breast and leftover cauliflower with cheese sauce and half a kiwi, raspberries, more almonds, a banana-flax-chocolate syrup smoothie, stir-fried spinach with beef and a pork chop.
Calcium: 908 + 500 of supplement.

Got some potentially-good news tonight, so I ought to be able to sleep. Although I'm noticing that I don't want to eat, despite being at only about 1200 calories for the day, so we'll see how that goes.
