Operation Weight Loss!!

[Meredith]

Operation Weight Loss will officially begin on Oct. 1, 2009! I am going to be trying to lose 30lbs while Mike is deployed. I'm inviting you guys to join me in the challenge!

So what kind of things can I do to help you guys set a goal and meet it?

I know they say doing it with someone is a plus, so we'll have each other right here!

How do you think we can make this a successful mission?! Are there any tools, info, anything I can find or make to help you guys?! Would you be interested in doing a weekly weigh in...things like that??

[KristiMarie]

Um... maybe a playlist someone could create... and burn the songs onto a CD and mail them to anyone interested in losing weight that can't download the playlist cause of messed up internet... then that person can upload the songs onto whatever they have (i pod or anything) then wheen you do workout you can listen to that playlist and it will keep you motivated knowing the other MTMH girls are listening to the SAME music?

[Meredith]

sounds like a great idea!!

So girls....everyone pick your absolute favorite favorite song to work out with and I'll make an MTMH Fave Workout Songs CD

[ReginaCherie]

hmm im down i have trouble loseing weight. ive been trying for months. maybe it will work this time.

ill have to think about my all time favorite song.

[Erin]

ooh fun!! I am so in and i already know my song!

Accidentally in Love by Counting Crows

[Jamie]

haha i'll only listen to country or like heavy rock [not to be confused with heavy metal. yuck]

but i'm in! wish it would have started like two weeks ago. i've already dropped 7 pounds due to stres whoo hoo! but i'm acutally starting work outs this week...

why wait until october!?

[Spahr]

I'm down! Def. wanna loose some baby weight! Before I got pregnant a friend of mine wanted me to join sparkpeople.com with her which is like a weight loss forum. I didn't really check into it much but I'm thinking I might now!

[snwalways41903]

ive been doing situps, im up to 50 a day again, i used to do 100 a day in sets of 25 4x a day, tommorrow im hoping to do 2 sets of 25 in the morning, then 2 sets of 25 in the afternoon!! i think this sounds great, and like jamie said why wait till october??

ive also been having a grilled chicken breast cut up on a salad & a yogurt for lunch everyday. eating dinner by 6 every night is helping too cause im not just eating and falling into bed! i also keep a gallon pitcher of water in the fridge at all times so im not tempted to drink something full of sugar when im really hot and want something cold!!!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

lol 2 reasons...

1. I figured it would give everyone a heads up

2. I'm not starting till I get home till NJ. I'm not bothering with a diet right before Mike leaves or while driving cross country when all there is to eat is McDonalds....seriously...

haha so if you want to start go ahead!! I won't stop ya ;)

And I want everyone's favorite workout song even if you don't think anyone else will like it!! It's so we can remind each other that we're not doing it alone!!

[snwalways41903]

i dont know, what song to give haha, i only listen to upbeat stuff, country is too slow for me, i have to have upbeat stuff!!

[Meredith]

ok well here's the deal...if you don't give me a name of a song, I'm not sending you a CD lol... you have to give to get ;)

I'm not trying to be a jerk! I just want everyone to contribute!!

[Jamie]

[ReginaCherie]

oh chicken fried, by zac brown band

i love that song. even though it drives scotts nuts.

[ReginaCherie]

oh yea i think i need to start soon cause i went to put on scotts bored shorts and they were to small on me. i thought i was going to cry.

[Meredith]

don't worry regina! only my wide leg jeans fit right now....and I only own one pair of those lol.

[ReginaCherie]

yea thats me. my dad said i let myself go.

[Meredith]

awe :( That's ok my mom tells me i eat too much all the time!

[Meredith]

ps you guys aren't getting these cds till I'm back in Jersey...just an FYI. I'm sorry but I just can't right this moment. I'll hop to it once I'm settled in tho!

[ReginaCherie]

parents are so supportive arent they.

[paul's_princess]

[paul's_princess]

he's in the infantry

[Alyssa]

Oh I am SO in on this one. I figure I could lose 5-10 lbs a month and by the time the husband gets home, I would be smaller than our wedding day... so my huge goal is 50 lbs, but I will settle for 30....

My 2 songs I really like to listen to are:

Shocking Silence - Benny Benassi
I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas

I know BEP is so over played but I LOVEEE it!

[KristiMarie]

Dont laugh.... Right now IM addicted to

I know you want me by pitbull anddd
She's got legs by ZZ top!

[Spahr]

lol kristi I love the pit bull song too!

[asoldierssweetie]

i am game. i am starting weight watchers with my parents tomorrow. i wanted to lose like 20lbs before r&r, which is 2 months away. but i would love more support than just my parents :)

[kelamarie]

I really enjoy "goodbye" by Kristinia Debarge -- when i listen to it as im running, it makes me think of telling my old self goodbye, like i won't settle anymore and it allows me to mentally push myself.

I also keep on my workout playlist
stronger - kanye west
Loose Yourself - eminem .. yes im so hardcore ladies
Boom Boom Pow - BEP
girl fight (remix) - brooke valentine..

[Katie]

Hmm I need to lose 30-40 lbs that I gained with these steroids.

Last time I lost alot of weight after my divorce I went from 185 to 121. All I did was Everynight after dinner I would leave the dishes in the sink and push the kids in a stroller (they were alot younger then) and walk 2 miles. Then I would come home and do the dishes, I tried to park far away when I went to stores, and take the stairs instead of elevators. I use to eat baked chicken, tuna, eggs(anyway I wanted to cook them) grapefruit, cottage cheese, yogart, carrot sticks, brocolli, LOTS of water

Some good work out songs:

Breaking Benjamins: Diary of Jane
Breakdown
Buckcherry: Crazy Bitch
Chris Brown: Kiss Kiss
Drake: Best I Ever Had
Everlast : White trash beautiful
Fly leaf: All around me
Jordan Sparks: Battlefield
Kayne: Love Lockdown
Kate Perry: I kissed a girl
Mike Jones: Next to you
Nickleback" Next contestant & fight for all the wrong reasons
Papa Roach : She loves me not
TI: Whatever you like & live your life
Three Days Grace: Home & Pain & Just like you
All american rejects : Gives you Hell
POD: Click Click Boom
Gym Class Hero's : Cupids Choke hold :
Paramore: Misery Buisness
Halestorm: I get off

OK I got lots more but that is all I can think of right now of the top of my head.

[snwalways41903]

katie i like listening to last resort by papa roach! i havent heard it in a really long time. im all about listening to fast upbeat music...it has to stay loud and upbeat i cant listen to slow music!

[KristiMarie]
