The "Question of the Week" this week is being replaced by
"Share Your Success!"
Whether it's pounds or inches lost or improvement on the FIT test...brag, brag, brag!!
After all, YOU are the one doing the hard work, let us all give a pat on the back.
I improved on every one of the fit tests (and I even beat my mom!) even though I was sick
ReplyDeleteIt pays to have thighs like a linebacker. I totally killed it on the air squats from fit test #1. I did better in every area except the wall sit. I think my legs were fried after air squats. Lovin this challenge.
ReplyDeleteI got Rx on Pistols :0)!
ReplyDeleteI have been RXing more on my WOD's.
With my shoulder being out of whack for about 3 months, that makes me want to practice more now and perfect moves, so I am strong in The Open coming in March.
I was able to do a OHS at 65# and not 45# :0). Snatches were way stronger and I have better form.
I am enjoying all the individual challenges. I feel stronger, with all the reps we have been assigned to do.
My Fit test is on Saturday so I can brag more when I see the results.
I think I am seeing a 2 pack :0).
And...Since Buffy already showed her Booty in the Plank Pics. I hope my Booty will look just at good at the 10 weeks :0).
Yeah! 2.3% down on the BF and 7.6 lbs. down and inches down also. FIT test was ok. Plank and Wall sits hurt in the end but got further than week 1. Just want to give a Shout Out to my team for doing so Great and to say I am proud of all that you are learning and accomplishing. Bring on Week 6 Boys :0)! Team W.T.F. aka WIN THE FIT Rocks (because you are winners)!
DeleteI improved on all skills of the FIT test (and I even beat Keagan!). I just want to encourage people that we all start from different places and to some, losing 50 lbs may be a huge success and for others, just being able to see mild loses in circumference is just as rewarding. It all makes for healthier and happier people! I'm so inspired every day at the box! Good job to you all!
ReplyDeleteHalfway WHOOO!! I improved On everything except KB swings (which might have been miscounted the first time..??) lost a couple pounds and a percent or so body fat. It's so fun to hear about everyones progress.. Keep it
ReplyDeleteUp!!!
I was actually able to lose pounds, inches and body fat! I also had incredible results on the FIT test! I attribute my success to staying strict to the challenge and having such an awesome and inspiring team (Warner included!) We talk constantly and it keeps me on track! I love the Mean Girls!
ReplyDeleteI improved on everything except the wall sits...that one just kills me! I'll get it by week 10 for sure! Feels great to finally see some lbs come off and down 3% body fat! Can't wait to see what's next!
ReplyDeleteI got my very first RX on Monday when we did man makers, bur-pees and lunges. I was very exhausted and was one of the last ones to finish but I got it done (thanks for the help Devon).
ReplyDeleteI also am more conscious on eating better, drinking more water (while having a soda once every few days instead of every day). I get to bed earlier (so I can wake up earlier for the workouts) and generally feel better overall, except for all my sore muscles!
And my back is killing me from the 2 man dead lift!
DeleteVery impressive everyone! You are all so inspiring! I lost 2 inches in my waist and 1% body fat. I am most excited about improvements in my fit test though. It's such a great feeling to be able to do something you never thought you could! I feel so much stronger and healthier. I no longer want to snack late at night or eat sweets - I NEVER thought I'd say that!!!
ReplyDeleteLet's me just start by saying... If I knew being a "Mean Girl" had such great benefits I may have been mean sooner! I gained a couple of pounds in the last 5 weeks, I also lost body fat, which means more muscles for me. Hurray! My teammates have been amazing! I love this challenge. Can't wait to see what the next few weeks bring...
ReplyDeleteI haven't had my measurements done yet but I know I've lost 5 pounds during this challenge. I've been able to RX more and more WOD's and recover after because of things I've learned during this challenge.
ReplyDeleteI just want to finish. I haven't started anything and finished it, when it comes to working out.... As far as the fit test I have lost 14lbs and dropped 4.6% body fat. I will keep going and know that the next 5 weeks will get better. Its nice to say hi to everyone at the box, I feel that this is one happy family... Talk to you all soon
ReplyDeleteSlim
Great job!!!
DeleteI had my first Rx!!! Yay I thought that would never happen and ever since then I might not be able to do some of the movements but I try and to the weight.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Girl! Keep pushing and I hope to WOD with you again done day :0)!
DeleteI was very impressed when I rode Saturday & Sunday. It been a hard winter to ride outside and I've chosen xfit over my spin cycle most days, however, I've been very strong with my rides and even set PR's over last years time. I've lost inches & pounds and feel a core strength that I thought I'd never see again. I know this challenge has launched me into a successful cycling season & I love it!
ReplyDeleteI improved on my fit test, lost inches and down 1% body fat. Half way through, just need to keep the momentum going!
ReplyDeleteI improved on my fit test, especially on the wall sits. My first test I dropped right after the first leg lift! This time I made it through the whole sequence and past the cutoff. I was totally surprised.
ReplyDeleteI lost an inch on my waist and almost 1 percent body fat. The increased strength and continued leaning-down gives me more determination to finish strong in the last five weeks.
I improved in all areas of my fit test but still have room for much more and look forward to seeing even more improvements in 5 weeks. I lost 8lbs and 3% body fat. I am loving this challenge! Even though at times I curse it, thank you Miki for this amazing experience. Here's to another 5 weeks of results! By the way, I was so impressed by everyone there this morning. You all did amazing and I love the way we all support each other and cheer each other on. Love CFSV!
ReplyDeleteYou will accomplish your goal :0). Great job man!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sonnet Everyone is doing so Awesome! Keep up the Good Work. Bring on the next 5 weeks :0).
ReplyDeleteI was happy to see improvement in all areas!! And I love the positive energy this morning at the Fit Test. I have to say, I was impressed and motivated by everyone and I was kind of proud of myself!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tania for partnering with someone from another team and cheering me on. You're pretty awesome!
My pleasure :9). You did Awesome! If needs to I'll be there for you in 5 weeks :0)!
DeleteAfter 4 months of Crossfit I can now do kipping pull-ups and double unders!
ReplyDeleteI am loving this challenge and hoping I will do this forever. I am down 10 pounds and 4 percent body fat. I improved in all areas of fit test. Except plank. Hate plank. Thanks Miki you have helped me so much. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done my FIT test yet but I was really happy with my results. Lost 2 lbs, 3% body fat and a couple inches off my waist. It just goes to show that commitment to the right things will help you get results.
ReplyDeleteI am inspired by those around me. I see others working extra hard which of course makes me want to work extra hard. Then when I get my results I am happy w/ what I have accomplished so far. Can't wait to see where I am in 5 more weeks. Down a few pounds and 3% body fat ( who knew I was so fatty?) =]
ReplyDeleteSara
I am feeling good as I work out and shedding the body fat. Didn't think I had 5% body fat to lose but glad it's gone. Another 5% to go and I will look like Devan and Taylor.
Mike
Sara I didn't think you could lose anymore either :0)! Mike I have had to do a double take when walking into the gym :0). Great job to you both!
DeleteHand me another green smoothie, those seems to be helping A LOT!!!! Tania, you are sweet! I always have room for improvement. =] You look amazing BTW.
DeleteI cant believe how much I have loved this challenge so far!! Love my team (Mean Girls), and love how much support they give me. I lost 2% body fat, and although it doesnt come off as fast as I would like, it is consistent and that is what matters. Cant wait for the next 5 weeks, but can wait for the no caffeine week!!
ReplyDeleteSo this fat kid weighed in 10lbs. less and 4" smaller in the waist and 5% less body fat. This challenge was the push I needed to get in gear and start eating right. I would also like to thank everyone for the encouraging words and for pushing me to do better everyday!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst---it's so great to read everyone's successes above!!! Very inspirational!! Keep up the great work everybody!!!
ReplyDeleteSecond--The bad news...I gained 2 pounds over the last 5 weeks. The good news, it's lean muscle mass, baby! :) I've lost about 5 lbs. of fat and added 6 lbs. of lean muscle mass. Almost 3 inches down in the gut and added a little mass every where else. I increased a bit in all areas of the FIT test, especially the planking and wall sit. I've learned alot over the last 5 weeks, especially where I can improve!! Look out! Captain A is looking forward to Week 10!!
I beat Karen on plank and wallsit! My plank was for 5 minutes. && my wall sit was 6 minutes and 5 seconds just so I could beat Mel Hansen. because im that competitive... OH. and I improved on every single one of the fit tests. WELL. im done bragging. lol.
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome Maya! :)
DeleteI didn't really do much. 58 air squats in a minute is pretty good I guess!
ReplyDeleteOr how about winning a CrossFit Kids Challenge? That deserves some serious bragging!!
DeleteI improved on my fit test, lost 1.6% body fat, lost a couple of pounds, and gained some muscle. I can't wait to see the results at the end of the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI did better on all my fit testing except the wall sits. Those are nasty little buggers. Lost lots of weight and body fat. Hope the next 5 week is the same! Great team support from the Lunachicks!
ReplyDeleteI did better over all but more than anything I just felt stronger. Gained 2 pounds but lost body fat and inches so I guess that's good.
ReplyDeleteLost about 5% body fat mostly from my gut which was fat from giving myself the go ahead to eat what ever I wanted through the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI lost 7 pounds and 3% body fat!!! WAHOO!
