Exercise! - All Air Walkers/Gliders/Ellipticals/Treadmills/Regular Walkers #28

At NASCAR Woman's request here's a new thread in case it goes to more then one page over the weekend. And I also wanted to say thank you to all of you still posting here and giving such great support and motivation. I really appreciate all of you:D! You are a great bunch!

And win big ~ then you can share the wealth with all of us. :D

Sorry...I put my last post on the wrong thread...:?: Must not be paying attention...:lol: Must be too much to do with points & exercise..:lol:
Debbie ~ I know exactly what you mean about the plateaus....I can't even count how many I have been on..:rolleyes:
More tomorrow...Nite all...

Hi!

Well, Judy how did you do with your weigh in? I gained 1/2 lbs. YUCK! I'm not very happy about that but what can I do?? Just keep going & hope next week the scale cooperates :)

Nascar hope you are feeling better after your fall...

Rose here's wishing you a safe trip. Hope you have fun :)

Emmy, Nona...hope you both are doing good....

Take care :wave:
Debbie

:D: Whooppee....I feel good...down 1.6....The SubWay diet must be helping, although we are not on it every day...but you know, those subs are really good and filling! :) Sorry Debbie :cry: that you didn't have a loss this week, but maybe you will next week. I rode my bike to my meeting (about 3. 5 miles) and then rode on to the gym after and walked on the treadmill for 1/2 hour. Needed to walk longer but I have a few things I need to do this afternoon. Do you keep your journal? It really works! I never bank or count extra points for exercise. If I do, I do not lose. Anyhow I am back for FREE again...It has been a long hard road. I am going to have to hide from those pounds this week so they can't find me..:lol: It is so easy for me to gain...just not fair is it? I don't have any little ones, so I won't have to worry with Easter candy! :rolleyes: Thank goodness that won't be a challenge.....Hang in there Deb, it will move eventually and don't forget to journal. Later...

WooHoooo! Judy..Congrats on your 1.6 lb loss. That is great!!! You go girl!! :D You've done great with getting moving today too. Good for you....

I do keep a journal. I plan an entire week in advance and write everything down as I eat it (when I snack). I don't use my banked points either. This week was the 2nd time I did since I started. My birthday was last saturday & my hubby took me out to eat. I rarely ever eat out either. Who knows why these things happen. Like Denise told me, this is all chemistry...Just have to keep going & change things up a bit and see if that helps....

Thanks for the encouragement :)

Talk to you later :wave:
Debbie

Hello All!!

Judy ~ way to go on your loss. That is awesome. And with a bike ride before, even better.

Debbie ~ you said you never bank and never count exercise points, maybe you are under eating. I know I platued when I was exercising and not counting the points. That's why WW incorporated exercise points in the new Winning Points instead of making you wait for your 10%. Maybe you could try it for a week and see what happens.

I'm even more sore today than yesterday. Which is very weird to me, but I guess it's not uncommon. My leg hurts really bad today so no gliding for me. I'm lucky I can walk today, and my foot is killing me. May 1 and that insurance can't get here soon enough for me, that's for sure!

Well, you all have a good day. Rose says Hi! and keep the thread alive while she's gone.

Nascar, I tell you I have tried eating at my low range, the last few weeks I have been eating at the top of my range. I have tried some days low, some days high & I'm still stuck. It is frustrating. I do get in at least 2 servings of fat a day, I get my milk in and even take calcium supplements. Guess I have to play around with it some more. Now that I have gotten to my last 13 lbs the weight loss has slowed dramatically. Before I was losing 1-2 lb a week without even trying.

Sorry to hear you feel so beat up today. I'm sure you are looking forward to May 1st. Soon enough the day will be here. Just take care of yourself.

Tell Rose I said Hi! if you speak to her :)

Talk to you later ....
Debbie

:wave:
Debbie ~ I can truly sympathize with you...I have been there the last 4 months! You just can't figure where you are going wrong. I think maybe I was eating too many carbs....And they do say maybe you are not eating enough but that is so hard for me to accept...I am always afraid to try more afraid I will put on more and won't be able to get rid of it :spin: You are young too and that should be easier...Here I am at 62 and past menopause and that old fat just wants to hang on! :lol: That really sucks! We may have to email the Duchess for pointers :lol: Those last pounds are the tough ones! I am lifetime but want to go another 15 for my personal goal...we'll have to see if I have any success.....Have yoga tapes ordered....I hear it really makes you lose inches...
Nascar...so sorry you are still sore and having so much pain with your foot....You must have really done a number to your body..:( You might try soaking in a bathtub with vinegar...My hubby swears by it for sore muscles (about 1 cup in bathtub). He soaks when he has sore muscles from golfing...says it works! Won't hurt anything :) Hope Rose is having a great time in Vegas and winning lots of money...I can almost hear those slots jingling..:lol: I just love slots :) Hang in there....Later :wave:

I just saw an infomerical for leslie sansones walk away the pounds, i was wondering if anyone has
this and what they think of the tapes.

Sorry it took me so long to check in. Man, what a week! I have been helping out at my boys' school, then had unexpected company show up... then it's time for T-Ball practice/games! sheesh.... it's nice to have things back to normal & have you guys here:D

Judy, congrats on your loss!

Nascar, sure hope your foot is feeling better. Let us know if you try Judy's "vinegar bath";)

WW Gal, I haven't tried the Sansone tapes, but have seen lots of chat about them. I wouldn't mind getting one the tapes since the weather will be warming up here soon. Walking indoors sounds better than walking out when it's in the 100's! lol!

Whats that noise??? ching, ching, ching... could it be Rose at the slots? Good Luck, Rose!:)

Guess what I got last nite?!? A friend of mine went to WW and called me letting me know that they had JUST put out (finally) the WW Journals that I have been waiting for. I zoomed on over and bought 4! Two are for my sister in Florida... they were sold out there. LOL! I really like the weight-loss graph, ect at the beginning of the journal. Looks great.

Sorry this is sooo long this time - I don't usually write so much. I'll be short next time!

Hi Everyone,

Just back from WW. I didn't weigh in today cuz I'm lifetime. As of last week I had lost about 13 pounds. I've been to the Y usually 2x a week. Walking at home (outside) with the improving weather.

So, what did I do? Came home and had 2 slices of choc. cake. I eat when I'm stressed. This is a good stress - we have just (this afternoon) started to try to sell our house. The idea is "simplify" which won't be understood by some of our friends, but who cares! Anyway, we're telling friends and neighbors who might be interested because the market is really cooking here....

I'll be checking in to help me stay away from the cake. This afternoon, the sun is breaking thru and I'll go for a walk - hopefully by my prospective new home...if it's meant to be.

I had no one to talk to at the moment and had to vent and get away from the cake. It's great to see all the new names. I've been away from the site for at least one month. But I've been reading it all along. It's a very busy site. I'll be back. Thanks for listening!

Pogo

Welcome to the group. Yes, being here is better for you than eating the cake. I know how stress can be and the need for venting. Yesterday was my day for needing to do that and I was not so fortunate to have a computer when it happened. Come in, hang out, vent all you like. We have a bunch of sympathetic ears here.

Debbie ~ I understand the frustration. Believe me. I wish I had some sage advise to offer.

Nona ~ good to see you. We were wondering what had happened to you. Glad to see it was just the daily ins and outs of the real world.

Judy ~ I may have to try that. I'm still soar, but not as bad as before. I wonder if throwing some vinegar in my foot massager would help the foot. Knowing exactly what is wrong with it would probably help too.

Okay, the weekend is almost here and it's going to be a busy one. Coloring eggs, hiding eggs, buying presents. We've decided to pass on the candy this year. I don't need it around and my daughter still had peeps in October from last Easter, so I'm getting her something that is supposed to be lasting rather than something she makes last. Busy, busy, busy. Hopefully the running around won't be too hard. Hopefully I'll get time on my air walker this weekend.

The rest of you, have a wonderful Easter and enjoy your families.

Hi everyone!! I hope everyone is having a great Easter Weekend!!

I am still doing great staying within my points and exercising. I have lost 8 pounds so far and it will only be 3 weeks on Monday!! Hooray, I love seeing that number come down!!

wwgal, I do not have that particular tape but I do use Leslie Sansone tapes and I absolutely love working out with her. She keeps it simple, but yet you get a good workout.

Everyone have a happy and safe Easter!!

I should be getting the 2 mile walking tape hopefully this week. I can;t wait to get it and
then i can join you guys on the board.

:wave:
Hi all,
Sounds like everyone is having a busy weekend! Ours is pretty quiet. We went out to dinner with friends last night so we are just staying home tomorrow. I would rather dine out when the restaurants are not so busy! :) You know it is still Spring Break here in Florida :rolleyes: One more week and it will all be over! I went for a 4 1/2 mile walk this morn and it was so hot. Sweat gallons! :lol: I am planning on walking the beach tomorrow. Maybe there will be a breeze...that always helps!
Nascar ~ Sounds like you are covered up with Easter preparations..hope the foot is better. :)
Emmy ~ Congrats on the loss...that always pumps you up! I know it does me. Keep up the good work :)
Nona ~ I won one of those journals at my WW meeting in a drawing (I never win anything!) They are nice. I haven't used mine yet but I will. I am still using the ones they hand out every week. Glad you were able to get yours.
Pogo ~ Welcome ~ Chocolate cake :eek: just kidding...Dottie says "One day at a time, No guilt, and move on" I believe that....not all days are perfect....so come on in and vent here. :)
WWGal ~ You can join us without the tape. If your weather is getting better, take a little stroll outside. 20 or 30 minutes is a good place to start. When I started I walked 2 miles and now I am up to 5 and sometime 6 or 7. It gets easier all the time. ;)
Everyone have a Happy Easter and beware of that candy :lol:

Happy Easter everybody!:D

Well I'm back and I didn't win a thing. I can't believe how expensive Vegas has gotten:dizzy:! I did get in a ton of walking and it's a good thing because my eating was really bad. Too much junk food in the car. I ate too many candy bars and chips. Bad bad bad. Anyway, I'm back and ready to get moving again. I'm so glad to see this thread rolling right along. You are all so great!

NASCAR Woman-I can't wait for your insurance to kick in! You need to get the foot taken care of. Hey NASCAR isn't too far away. It was so nice talking to you the other night. Oh and I didn't get a chance to go to the NASCAR Cafe due to a slight problem I had after eating some shrimp and not being able to leave the bathroom for any length of time:mad:! I thought I was going to die! Thanks for posting while I was gone!

Judy-Way to go on the weight loss! You must be so happy:)!

WWGal-I have a few of Leslie's tapes and they are great! I'm sure you will love them and I hope you can post with us often:)! You will get so much support here!

Pogo-Hey I'm glad to see you are still hanging in there:)! I was happy to see your post! If I would have been at your place I would have helped you eat the cake! Don't worry we all do it at one time or the other. Hang in there.

emmy-You are doing great with the weight loss! You must be so happy:). Keep up the great job.

Nona-No I didn't win any money but I had a pretty good time anyway. Just missed all of you! It's good to be back although with a little more money it would have been so much better!:)

Debbie-The closer you get to your goal the harder it is to lose the weight! So that's a good sign in a way. You must be almost there. The last few will come off as soon as your body does some adjusting. Way to go on doing such and awesome job losing weight:)!

Okay this was a little long but I just got back and had to say hi to everyone! I hope you all have a great Easter and stay away from that darn bunny that brings all those candies! I might post more later. Take care everyone!

Hi Rose ~ Sorry to hear you didn't win :( I never win in Vegas but have pretty good luck on the River Boats sometimes....We have River Boat gambling in Indiana so we will be making a trip to them when we go North :) Now you can get back on track...that just happens sometimes...One day at a time, no guilt and move on..(from Dottis Weight Loss Zone) Too bad about the shrimp problem. That is miserable! Have a Happy Easter.

Sorry to hear you didn't win-big in Vegas, Rose. There's always next time!:D Welcome Back.

My WW leader passed on some information about candy... yummy! Anyway, I don't like spending all my points on the sweets and she said maybe we'd like a low point Tootsie Roll Pop. They have all flavors, including chocolate and they are only 50 or 60 calories = 1 point! And yes, that includes the tootsie roll in the middle, LOL! Thought I'd pass it on....

Have a wonderful Easter everyone. Catch up w/you tomorrow.

Good Morning All:D

Where is everyone? Usually I'm one of the last to post! ha! Hope your all having a wonderful Monday. I'm off to help in my sons kindergarten class and will check in later..... I'm sure to get lots of exercise w/a bunch of 5-6 year olds. ;)lol

Later ~~~ Nona

Hi Everyone!!

Hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend.

I am doing good. Finally got the VCR. WOOHOO! Haven't done the tape yet but today I will. Yesterday was just so busy with the cooking and all. I was very good with my points yesterday and even had room for some lite dessert. I did clock 3 miles yesterday which is good. I'm trying to mix up my points everyday to see if that helps :)

Talk to you later.... :wave:
Debbie

Hi Rose ~ okay, I have to ask.....where did you eat the shrimp? If it was at the Mirage, I'm going to feel terrible. I recommended it. Or did you do what I did one time and eat too much. That'll do it too. That's okay about NASCAR Cafe....I totally understand. It was good talking to you to.

Okay ~ Easter was quiet. I cooked a full on dinner. Corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, and beef ribs. It was great. I didn't do a lot of exercising, but I did clean a lot and counted that as exercise. Took the long way to the trash every time I went out there. Every little bit counts.

I work for a CPA so I'm only here about 2 hours today and then off all day tomorrow. Hope you all have a good couple of days. Hope everyone's Easter was wonderful. Sorry I can't write more. Deadlines, you know. Take care and keep those legs moving!

Hi, It is good to be back and get some extra encouragement. Easter was fine. There are some extra desserts in the fridge - but I think I'll steer clear of them.

The tentative house sale thing is still tentative, but I figured a few hours in the basement would be a big accomplishment. I'm being ruthless! Maybe a big yard sale in a couple of weeks!

I walked this morning, and could fit one in tonight. The weather is pretty good here. I'm in Boston, so it's all Marathon today! But I'm listening to the Sox while I clean. Be back later.

Pogo

Hello all! Sorry I haven't checked in for a while. It's just been crazy here. Orbitrek broke down, and they're shipping another one to me. Won't be for about 5 more weeks......I was doing so good, but I'm doing Gilad while I wait for the machine. Weight's coming off VERY slowly, but at least it's coming off. Do you know that it took me about a week and a half just to realize that I hadn't posted anything in a while. My brain is fizzing out. Going to bed now....tomorrow's another day. Hope everyone is doing fine and it was great to see new names and the old ones still posting. I promise I'll get back into the swing of things real soon.:love:

:wave:
Did good today...went to gym this morn on my bike, walked 4.5 miles on the beach this afternoon...It was very hot and windy....thought I would never get back:lol: anyhow, my legs sure were tired trudging through the sand to get back...:lol: We are supposed to get a cool front tomorrow. I know all of you would like some of this warm air, but it is a little too warm here right now! I know, we can never be pleased :lol: One more holiday down and all of those temptations! Bye all...

Hi everyone!

Pogo and Phillym-I'm so glad you're back with us:D! I know how it is to get side tracked. That's what's been happening to me. I need a kick in the butt to get back in gear. I'm hoping to do at least 20 minutes on the Orbitrek tonight. I have good intentions but you know how that goes:eek:! I hope you both will post often.

Judy-You sure are doing great:)! I'm jealous! But you are motivating me which I really need after all the junk food I consumed over the weekend! I get so mad at myself for having such low will power sometimes. Well it's another day so I will exercise tonight. I love to bike ride. It would be great to have a friend to bike ride with. Too bad you live so far away. Keep up the great exercise.

NASCAR Woman-It was at the Mirage! I had one shrimp cocktail and that's all it took! It so bummed me out because who feels like walking around with pains and having to run to the bathroom every five minutes. UGH! I wish I could have made it to the NASCAR Cafe! I'm so sorry! I didn't even make it to work yesterday. Still recovering. I'll try to email you tonight.:)

Debbie-You are doing great! Three miles! WOW! I'm tired just thinking about it. I did clock some miles before I ate the shrimp so I know you are getting a great workout. Keep up the great job:)!

Nona-Thanks for the welcome back! Yes I was kind of disappointed about not winning but oh well! I did eat candy over Easter which I'm paying for now! Time do exercise:D!

It's great to be back with all of you. I'm going to exercise tonight for sure.

Good Morning everyone!

Where did you all go? Well I'm happy to report that I did 20 full minutes on my Orbitrek last night:)! It was difficult at first but I did it. To be honest after the first 10 minutes I wasn't sure if I would make it but I did. Now if I can only do it again tonight:D! Hey I hope you all get time to post today.

Good Morning!! :)

I'm still here :) I did do my tape yesterday for the 2nd day in a row. It is great to really get my heart pumping during that 30min tape. I am anxiously waiting for my 2nd tape to arrive. It's a 3 mile with upper body work. I'm still here doing my WW hoping for some good results at tomorrow's weigh in. Wish me luck :)

Hope everyone has a great day!
Debbie

Still here! Not in the mood AT ALL to post, but still here. You know, if stress burned calories, I'd be a size 2. Waiting for phone calls is just the worst and when that phone call affects your future, it's even worse than worse. Stress!

Sorry you got sick Rose. Glad it's better now.

Everyone else, sorry, the heart just isn't into it today. Hopefully things will be better tomorrow. Take care.

Good Afternoon!

Rose & Deb, good job on getting that exercise in. After awhile I think we actually look forward to it... or so I have heard;) LOL!

Rose ~ So glad to hear your feeling better. Maybe you'll walk away a millionaire on your next trip to Vegas.... or maybe I will in Reno this July! I can hope!

Got my walk in today. I can't believe how much water I have drank already today. It must be the heat here this week that is making me "crave" the water more. We have had quite an increase in our temps. The temp is supposed to drop over the next few days - I'm hoping to keep my water intake up though.

Tomorrow is weigh-in day. Wish me luck. I'm really enjoying my new spiral bound journal. I realize it's not too different - just a bit. I enjoy the added features though.

Take Care - Have a good one! Nona :)

Nascar ~
We must have been posting at the same time! Sorry to hear your not your usual self:( Hope all is well and you hear nothing but good news from your caller. I know what you mean about stress though - we have (unfortunately) all been there. Just Stay Out of the kitchen & come talk to us instead;)

Take Care ~~
Nona :)
