Hair Growth and Weight Loss Challenge 2015

Went for a 2 mile run today. I went easy because I usually ramp up too fast and injure something. It was nice to get outside, even though there are still piles of snow.

I'm doing well on my new plan for lunches during the week. I make a big pot of some sort of veggie soup over the weekend, and bring that to work during the week. No going out to eat. Last week I had broccoli soup, this week I'll make lentil.

My hair seems good. I've been trimming my ends a bit more, even though I want to get to bsl. I hate when they look raggedy, lol.
 
I'M OUT OF THE 160s!!!!!! And I'm NEVER going back again!

:yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::dance7::bouncy:

Excuse me while I get my praise on!!!!

159.4 this morning for a total loss of 17.2 lbs!
This way of eating is so hard. I had some particularly rough cravings late last night and I just wanted to cry about how I would never get to lead a "normal" life again. I was ready to give up this morning. I got on the scale with my eyes closed in a stance of defeat. But so much grace and favor!!!

Yayyyyy. Praising and dancing with you on this victory. It feels so good to see these numbers go down.
HairPleezeGrow I sure see the difference in your belly and the sides.
I have to increase my calories today. When I counted my calories yesterday, they added up to 840. I accidentally went to sleep without dinner. And I worked out for over 600 calories at the gym. I don't want to send my body into starvation mode. Not ready for another plateau at all. The goal today is 1500 cals instead of 1200. I only worked out for about 45 minutes... Nothing crazy. I must have burned about 150 cals or less.
 
Yall are doing great!

I worked 2 double shifts in a row and probably burned 2000 calories each day. I do so much walking, lifting, twisting, shaking and squating (as a bartender). I ate really light today, because it was way too busy.

My plan is to go to the gym tomorrow and burn 500 calories doing intervals and some jogging. I am trying to have a 500 calorie defecit daily. That should be at least 1lb lost per week.
 
I did circuit training at the gym and then 45 minute intervals on the treadmill. Later tonight I will do abs and some zumba.

I just had an egg scrambler (egg beaters) for breakfast with turkey, onions, garlic, and chives cooked in coconut oil and an orange. I'm stuffed.
 
Today's lunch was about 3/4 of a turkey burger wrapped in a lettuce leaf with pickles, sautéed onions, and uncured bacon. SOOOOOOO good.
 
I am at work and craving some ice cream. I may go to baskin robin when it slows down. I want rum and raisin and almond, lolll. Or I may end up just making my instant oatmeal that I brought.
I burned all my leisure calories on Sunday and some.
Plan to go to the gym in the morning. I started running more. I have to say running is where it's at for me as long as I can keep my appetite under control.
 
Dh bought me a jar of Talenti Gelato. He can eat it. I gotta get fine :lol:

I just washed and deep conditioned my hair. Once it airdries a bit I will detangle and rebraid it. I may do a mini length check too. Come on Bsl
 
It got super busy at work so I couldn't go out for ice cream. I had my oatmeal earlier, and I am not at the gym.
 
Its been a crazy passed few days with my daughter sick. I still managed to do my workouts though. I wish weight came off as fast as you put it on

A little late. I've been traveling and I'm exhausted. Anyhow, I'm down to 147 I'm proud especially since I didn't workout for an entire week. When you're 5000+ above sea level you feel like your chest will cave in. I can't or should I say couldn't. Anyway I'm back to about 400 so I'm getting back into the groove. I did watch what I ate and tried to stay as close as possible to my nutrition plan. Waist is down another 1/2 inch Im at 30in and excited! Yall your girl is going to be fine this summer. (Wedding dress shopping coming soon) Now, if only I could grow my hair as fast as Im losing this weight :lol:
 
I've been MIA, but I'm maintaining my weight at 159. I have one week to reach my first mini goal of a 10 pound weight loss to put me at 155. I'm down 6 pounds, 4 more to go.
 
Prettymetty: you are a GOOD one, girl! That stuff is the nectar of the gawds! If I wasn't allergic, I would put that stuff in an IV.
HairPleezeGrow: your hair is so pretty! And I feel you. Because when I was eating carbs, I was one of the people that could gain 5 lbs overnight AND it would have the nerve to stick around! If I woke up tomorrow 5 lbs lighter? Chile... the amount of foolery I would act would be epic.
TwistedRoots: congrats, girl! And wedding dress shopping sounds so fun. If I was planning on getting married, I would probably spend the most time on that, especially now that this gut is getting flatter.
xu93texas: congrats on the 6 lbs and welcome back!

I am down 18.2 today and I have been secretly praying to hit 20 this weekend when my mom comes to visit. I want to surprise her since she is very skeptical of holistic practices and alternative medicine. My bloating has really diminished and indigestion is a fleeting memory. Diet heals, y'all!

As for my hair, it looks a HAM so I incorporated coconut oil back into my arsenal. It was doing really well before and now it's just blah. I think it has to do with the water here but none of the filters I've bought work and I'm just tired of doing my hair everyday. I started doing roller sets but they don't have as much staying power without coconut oil, so I am happy to include it back in. So no more water only, but I think only using rhassoul clay and coconut oil is still much better than 50-11 products taking up all the space in my little dorm studio.
 
I need suggestions for the best running shoes ladies. I am really enjoying running lately, but I fear my old sneakers are not safe. My feet start to hurt, and I feel that my knees are taking a beating which never happened when these shoes were brand new. I ve had them for at least 4 years. I want new ones, but I just don't know which to get.
I'm looking for something pretty, comfortable, and highest quality.
 
davisbr88 congrats to you too girlie! You're dropping weight so effectively even with your hardships! And girl as soon as this back crease is gone Im in those dresses.

Oh my goodness... you need new running shoes right now! Running on old shoes has always caused me injuries and setbacks. Not worth it at all. I just get what's comfortable, but I should probably get an analysis. I hate when I'm sidelined and can't run.
 
So, my workouts have been a little bit inconsistent since I started my new job, but my diet has been really good. I'll be brave and weigh myself after my time of month is over. Hopefully, I see results!
