New Bonus Challenge starting this Saturday (Tomorrow).


Week 5: Bonus Challenge 7/12/08-7/18/08
-Each day that you stretch for a minimum of 15 minutes, give yourself 1 point. Try to include all the major body parts.

How can stretching increase your likelihood of losing weight?

"It's actually a simple concept that is completely overlooked by most people. I think everyone just seems to be so busy and trying to get in and out of their workout so quickly, that they just opt for a couple of big exercises, or hop on a piece of cardio equipment for a few minutes."

"The simple fact is that if you can stretch deeper into a movement you will fire more muscle fibers. That increase in stimulation to the new muscle fibers being worked will likely yield greater lean body mass development. Getting deeper into an exercise will also force your body to work harder, and thus pumping up your heart rate to new levels. The effect is immediate and you will feel your body laboring to keep up."


Safety First!
*Always warm up before doing any stretching exercises.
*Stretching should never cause pain
*Never bounce into a stretch
*Do not lock your joints when you stretch
*Never hold your breath while stretching
*Take your time
*Do not compare yourself with others

Hey Ladies, if I get the fiber into today I'll round off w/15 points this week. I woke up and weighed myself and I was happy to see I'm at an all time low of 153.4lbs!! I'm hoping and praying that I don't blow my diet today as I want to keep this weight loss for tomorrow's weigh in.

I'm meeting Alta tonight in SF and I'll try to keep up both on track :)

Week 4: Cardio + Weight Training + Weekly Bonus = Total Daily Points

Wednesday (1) + (0) +(1) = (2)
Thursday (1) + (1) + (1) = (3)

I can not believe that after an entire month of doing all of this that I have not even lost half an ounce!

I am going to go hardcore this week on the exercise and change up the diet a little bit and see what happens.. This is a big plateau for me so I think once I break through it I might get somewhere! * Fingers Crossed*

Anyone have any tips on plateau busting?!

Biggest tip is simply DON'T GIVE UP OR GET DISCOURAGED. The pounds will come off as long as you keep up the hard work. However here are a few other things you might wanna try to speed up the results.... (of course they are rather general seeing how I really have no clue as to where exactly you are with working out/watching what you're eating currently)

-Food, Food, Food--- I'm not sure how much you're watching what you're eating but try to keep a dairy for a couple weeks. Maybe even record what you're eating on here. (not only will that make you more accountable but then others can try to give you tips on tweaking things) It's really easy to think you're eating 400 cal. daily less then what you really are.

-Change up the work outs--- Your muscles get use to doing the same thing over and over. Try doing something different. If you're use to running for cardo try jumping on a bike or rowing machine (assuming you have access to them) Also try switching up what you are doing for resistance training. There are 100s of different lifts for every muscle group. Searching online or just asking in here can give you new excerises if needed.

-Also if you haven't tried doing interval training it seems to be a great way to switch up your cardo. Instead of doing 30 minutes on a treadmill or eliptical at the same pace/resistance, try keeping a slow jog for 50 seconds then all out sprint for 10 seconds and repeat. I couldn't tell you the exact reason behind it but it causes your muscles to burn calories differently and is suppose to be great for getting over those plateaus.

Keep up the work and you'll be looking :sifone: by vegas

Thanks for the tips.. I think I have the exercise under control.. I have great variety in my workouts yet they are all still intense! It is the food that I need to work on and being more consistent with the exercise that I do....

I have tried journaling the food and it is so hard! I always forget to do it and then give up after like 3 days. I am going to try to do it all this week along with my exercise and see if I get results..

Thanks again!

Everyone be sure to visit my diary and keep me accountable! I love pointers bc what I am doing doesn't seem to work!

Take some time to look into healthier snack options. If you love snack foods you can't completely take it out of your diet. If you try you might be able to for a little bit but then you're going to go overboard with them later.

Also keep in mind there are results that don't show on the scale. Just because the scale hasn't changed doesn't mean you are not healthier, in better shape and looking better.
