Hair Growth and Weight Loss Challenge 2014

Im really looking forward to my next wash day. I may even do it tonight if the kids act right. Im ordering pizza. My new tradition is takeout fridays. I cook every other day. We even cook on weekends.

Im still not paying the scale any attention until aunt flo is gone. Im really loving this postpartum shaper. If only I could reduce these triple D breasts. Good Lord! My boobs weigh a good 10 lbs and thats just crazy. If they are still double or triple d once I lose 30lbs im getting a reduction
 
180.4 lbs today! That's a little over 3lbs in the last 7 days! Whoop whoop:yay:! So I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing until it stops working.

Not sure what the day holds in store for my hair. Maybe a co wash and DC. I'm itching to try my bentonite clay mixed with hisbiscus, but I just shampoo-ed two days ago. Why did I buy all these products? :lol:
 
I literally ate until I was sick yesterday. It must have been what I needed on some level because I popped up this morning and hit the treadmill for 30 minutes and I actually felt good afterwards. My gel bike seat came in so I tried to ride for a few minutes but could only do 1 minute before my thighs started screaming, but at least I tried. I don't know who this woman is but I hope she sticks around until I drop some lbs. I'm about to go under the steamer for a dc treatment.
 
I have been avoiding this thread too long. Although i've been taking good care of my hair, i suck in the weight department. My daughter is 3 years old, and i am still trying to lose the baby weight:nono:. SO i am joining you ladies this year. I need some inspiration. I cannot do this alone.

Hair length: SL
Goal length: APL
Current weight: 155lbs
Goal weight: 125-130lbs, although i will be happy with 135
I do not currently have a plan of action. I have terrible eating habits, but i do work out 2-3 times a week. That's what is keeping my head above water right now. I hope to figure out a meal plan by reading you all posts. Any recommendation will be welcome.

Next time your thighs start screaming, try resting 30 to 60 seconds, cycling 60 seconds, repeat. You will find that you will eventually build up your time and endurance.
 
Was on point yesterday with my eating and exercise. We had potluck at work and they tried to tempt me with brownies and pecan pie. Nope, it didn't work.

Got 30 minutes in on my bike last night. I am skipping today and will pick back up tomorrow.

Doing my hair now. Will see how it comes out.
 
Today is the last day of my vacation. We walked a lot, but I only worked out 3 time. But I just weighed myself at the hotel and I maintained my weight. I'm going to call that a win. :-)
 
2 pounds down. I knew I wasn't gong to get a great number since I missed a week of working out. But at least I had time to analyze my diet.

11 pounds total so far. I'm glad the scale is reflecting my hard work but I must stay consistant if I want to hit my 20 pound goal at the end of the month.
 
Work kicked my butt yesterday, but I made over $300 in tips. My calories were way under 2000 and I easily burned 1000 calories during my shift. Im not off again until wednesday so I have an elaborate wash day planned. The bone in my girdle popped during my shift so I threw it away. I got 2 years out of it and it was a gift from mommy so im happy. Hope yall r having a good weekend :)
 
So I'm 4lbs down so far. I know I can do better. Hubby got sick when we were supposed to go join the gym. Hopefully we get there soon bc I want him to see it b4 we make the big step in paying for it. I'm very excited on what's to come and the possibilities on my weight loss journey. Today was a wash day. So I prepood with KeraVada brahmi oil using steam (I love this darn Q-Redew), then dcd with SD vanilla. I cowashed with SSI blueberry cowash. Now I'm just sitting here with my turbi on my head. Going to apply soultanicals knot sauce as a LI and then SSI juicy berry buttercream, let my hair air dry so I can braid it up for my wig.
 
I just applied my dry DC (AOHSR + grapeseed oil). Tomorrow I will wash and condition with a strong protein in prep for my touchup. And tomorrow is an official weigh in so I can see if I really maintained my weight on my vacation.
 
30 mns on my stepper this morning while I prepoo with a mix of conditioner and oil. Will rinse it all out, cowash, and put my hair in twists.
I have to go grocery shopping for some fruits and healthy snacks. I do pretty well with my meals most days. Snacking is what usually get me. If there s nothing else in the house my idea of a snack is: peanut butter on a roll and a glass of juice (that's over 300 cals), or a noodle soup bowl (490 cals).
 
Got an early morning workout in yesterday (glutes and cardio). Yesterday I did an intense lower body/abs/hiit cardio routine. Had me beat.

ronie snacking is the devil for me :nono: I try to bring protein bars with lower than 15 carbs, trail mix, carrot sticks w/peanut butters, and rice cakes to work with me.
 
I convinced myself I could buy a keebler snack pak and take portion sizes to work for lunch to keep me away from the vending machine. Well I at the whole bag this weekend :ohwell: I won't be doing that again. But at least now, all temptation has been removed from my home.

I need to make some soups tonight for lunch this week.
 
I did my official weigh in this morning. Since my last official weigh in on 1-20-14 I've lost 2.4 pounds! And since the day I left on vacation ive lost 1.4. I'm sure I'm a bit artificially low today because I was traveling for almost 24 hours and the plane food was really bad so I didn't eat much. The bad thing is that my body fat % stayed the same so I lost some lean body weight. I've got to restart P90X3 ASAP, but I had bad jet lag this morning and didn't get up early enough to
do it.

I washed my hair and I am soooo ready for my touchup on Thursday. It will be 18 weeks, this is my longest stretch by 2 weeks. If it weren't getting difficult to bun, I would consider going natural.

I did the Daniel fast for 21 days and I started working out again..... Right now I did a 3 days cleanse and 21 days challenge which I will finish on the 24th of this month.
I'm on week 2 of insanity and t25 hybrid workout , kettle bells as a second workout 3 times a week and Callanetics 3 times a week as a second workout
 
My hair went from a tangled, matted mess to smooth and silky. I used some good products.

I'm feeling much better so I think i might workout tonight. Some light cardio and using my band for some strength exercises.
 
@Kerryann

23 lbs? That's amazing! Congrats! Did you find the diet energizing? I just checked it out and except for only drinking water (which I hate) it doesn't look too bad. Hmmmm.

Did a 20 min treadmill workout this a.m.

Thank u. Yes it was very energizing. The food choices was a lot easier than I thought. The drinking water came easy to me because I'm breast feeding still. I drink a gallon to 2 gallons of water everyday. Try it u will not be disappointed. For lent I will do it again (40 days) won't be no joke but I'm determined to be a size 4-6 again.

I realized to that I'm losing loads of inches thanks to the Kettlebells. I was reading doing it 3 times per week will cut down 1% body fat
 
My eating was on point today. I resisted the sweets. I don't feel like exercising though. Maybe I will do some stretching later.

My roller set turned into a fro so did a water rinse and will try a flat twist out for tomorrow.
 
Finally back!

Hair:
Still the same old crochet braids, they are 2.5 weeks old

Stats:
Start weight: 154.6 lbs
