Official weight loss/toning up progress thread...

glitterhips · 2010-03-02T15:25:45+00:00

Oooookay, so for quite some time now I've been wanting to get into better shape but I've been super lazy about doing it...however I finally went out and bought a pair of jeans a size too small so I actually have some motivation to lose some flabbiness! But it might be easier for me if I keep everyone posted on my progress and I'm hoping some of you ladies (and gentlemen) in the SV community might be trying to do this too, so I figured maybe if I start a thread we can all post our progress and keep each other motivated. I thought about posting all of this in my blog but it seems like it's easier for other people to join in if it's a thread on here. What do you guys think? I probably won't post every single detail about what I ate today blah blah blah but I will post pictures of my progress and probably some details about what workout I did and for how long etc. I'm not going to weigh myself because I know the word "scale" is a naughty word in the SV community but I do need something to measure my progress so I got the jeans. I'm also seriously considering taping my bikini to the fridge 😀 Anyway...does anyone else want to do this with me? I'm going to post pictures in a few hours so I have something to go by....I know I don't want to see it but it has to be done so I can make it look better!

How is everyone doing?! I have to say that I have fallen off the wagon a bit....I have a ton of stuff going on and I also have been having some tummy problems that have been making me not able to go to the gym and not eat properly, its very frustrating! We are going on vacation the second week of July to Disneyworld and I know we will be at the beach so I really need to step it up, no excuses! Someone come light a match under my butt please 😀 How are you other ladies doing???

Hey ladies! Glitter, I need motivation as well. 😂 but just get on top of it. When you start to tell yourself, I will do it tomorrow, just get up and do it then. I am the worst when it comes to wanting to do cardio. I either have my bf rag on me until I do it. 😕 Probably shouldn't cause I get mad at him but then he pulls the guilt card. Saying how he just wants to help me and so forth. That really just helps me get back on. I am the only one holding me back so if I want it so bad then why can't I do it for myself. Plus I always remember I feel so much better after and I will see the results I want. One main thing, losing weight is a lifestyle change. You have to want it and do something about it for it to work. You just need to keep yourself moving forward. 🥂 I will help you stay motivated. You can so do it. My updates Do cardio everyday for 30 mins- Ok this is the same, but I have been super busy with pole classes before my pass runs out. I will be getting back to this, I really should do it even when I get home and its super late. FINE! I will do it tonight after class. UGH! But I really think this is the key to losing my stupid belly. 😢 It won’t go away no matter what I try. Keep up strength workouts- Doing great! My pole classes have help. I am now working on inverting with my legs straight. I have got down without momentum but I can’t just lift them up. Working still, I have noticed that I am not as strong as I feel but then again I am doing new upside down stuff so I think the strength part will come with the new feeling of being upside down. Not sure if that made sense but do you know what I mean. Be able to invert before April 1- DONE! Not sure if it was by April 1st but I can invert do the butterfly and crucifx. I also did the butterfly to flatline Scorpio. Not bad! I am learning how to kick up into the butterfly. For me not easier. 😂 Be down to 127-130 by summer – This is looking good but I want to change my goal to 125 by the end of summer. I will be happy at that final weight. I am 131 now. Quit soda all together- I have gotten so much better and I drink water all the time now. I feel full and not as tired when I am full of it. Ha ha So there's a little bit about how I am doing. I hope you all are doing awesome. We are all doing so well.

Jorshi you are doing awesome! I need to follow your lead obviously especially with the soda drinking thing...I was raised on it and it's sooo hard to give it up. But yesterday I did good and only had one cup of coffee and water for the rest of the day...I know I can't give up all caffeinated beverages 😕 and coffee is a better choice than pop. I was reading my fitness magazine yesterday and someone had a quote that said "No one has ever said they wish they hadn't gone to the gym" so true! I need to get that tattooed on my face so I see it every day 😀 I'm going to need to post here when I need you guys to light a match under my butt to get myself going again!

Glitter, this is a GREAT, GREAT idea because so many of us don't have a support team or just don't have the willpower to make ourselves accountable! I'm in 🫡 ! My goals weight-wise are to tone up, particularly my abs, legs, & arms. I hope I don't lose too much weight doing this but I won't cry if I lose 5-10 lbs as long as the boobs don't go away 😂! So, here's my plan: 1. Eat at least 4-6 small meals a day. 2. Eat some form of breakfast even if it's only yogurt & juice. 3. Exercise at least 30-60 minutes per day including cardio, weights, strengthening, & flexibility. 4. Drink at least 4-6 cups of water daily. 5. No eating too late. If I eat later than 8:00 pm I will eat something like a protein bar, yogurt, fruit, etc. Gotta be good for me 🤸 . As for the pole, my goals are to get all the spins & inverts I was able to do before I stopped poling: 1. Basic Invert & Inverted V 2. Gemini & Scorpio 3. Corkscrew, Boomerang, Chair 4. Basic Butterfly 5. Cradle Good luck everyone! ☀️

this is great! 🙂 i need to set up specific goals and stick to them for once actually so i'l do it w/ u guys 🙂 *my goals r to build up my strength(be able to do inverts, and hold myself up on the pole for at least 15 seconds lol) *to tone up my whole body and lose inches (not sure exactly how many cuz i dont wana be like i wana lose 3 inches and realize thats an unrealistic goal so im just guna stick to saying i just wana tone up, the less jiggle the better) ok so my starting plan for my workout is *run 30 min every day *strength train 30-60min every other day *pole 1 hr at least every other day my eating plan *at least 8c water every day *smaller portions *2c green tea *eat 5 servings of fruits and 5 servings of veggies *increase protein and iron *cut way down on junk foods (sweets, salty stuff, fattening junk, frozen foods, etc) i cant find a measuring tape so il put up my inches and everything as soon as i find one. and il keep updating 🙂

Perfect my gemini, scorpio, butterfly, CKR, CAR, and plank Video and post progress weekly Other workout goals strength train and abs 3-4 days a week Will try and post a video this weekend with all my chunky glory so I can track my progress.

I am In! I officially commit to this: Goals: -Lose 15lbs (more later, but that's just starting out) -Increase flexibility (Split Diary/yoga) -Toning arms. Having visible muscle/definition. -Improving strength (in my wrists, and arms) -Trimming waistline (losing that obnoxious jiggle) -Improving posture (by using my Wii Fit Yoga) (*Mastering the pole sit- maybe if I'm lighter, I'll have less pain) The Plan -Working out 5 out of 7 days during the week (in the gym, or home) -Use the poles in my house! Have fun...Dance. UTILIZE MY SV LESSONS!! -Holding myself accountable (by recording calories- I have a great app "Shape-Up" on my iPhone) -Replacing "Sweets" with fruits (Sweets are my weakness) -Avoid the "daily scale visit". (Im not sure on how often I shall record progress) -Drink plenty of water So that's my plan, and I'm stickin' to it! Do we have a (weekly/bi-weekly) check-in day?? I think we need to be each other's support! Good luck everyone... May your inner "pole hottie" surface! 🤸 Tara
