  • Way to go, Thnknthin1 and opheliaphoenix!

    Still maintaining 166 so far. I am more proud of myself for being consistent with the workouts and on the eating/drinking part too (well, mostly! thank goodness for weekly points, lol.) I have decided to hold off on the lifting for now because I play in 2 dart leagues currently (less than a month to finish for both) and could barely throw! My game was totally off, lol.
  • I'm not doing so great right now, weighed 171. Buckling down now, I really want to make goal! Hope everyone else is doing better than I am!
  • April has been pretty slow. I just hope I'm down 5lbs for the month by the last day! I might be lucky to break even, lol.
  • Summer Hiking!
    Rodeogirl: I'm gearing up for summer hiking too. Doing some long walks the past few weeks, and found a gravel road trail in the forest to practice on. Not quite a mountainous trail, but it has a small hill at the end.
  • Had a gain to deal with from a festival this weekend, but came back down a little. Weigh-in for the week is 251.0, so that is just barely 2 lbs down. Little bummed that I seem to be slowing down, so I'll be hitting the gym again this week, I think. But, at least it's a loss! Trying to keep that in mind. Slow and steady wins the race, right? Ha.

  • Weigh-in this week is 248.0, so 3 lbs down exactly. Much happier with my loss this week overall. I'd gotten a nice whoosh in the first day or two, but have been pretty much stalling out ever since, so I think my body is just playing catch-up. But, it's all about balance too, I guess! Lol. Also, on a side note, this pushed me over my halfway mark to my total goal for the challenge, so I'm pretty happy about that, as well.

    thnkthin1: Haha, thanks! I need to write that on my mirror somewhere, I think...lol. Also, you are doing great, too!

    foreverfaye: Welcome, and congrats on the 6 lbs!

    amandie: Thank you! How's the lifting going? I want to start doing some myself, but I'm just so intimidated by the super busy weights section at the gym...especially since it's on a military post with a bunch of buff soldiers. Eep! I wish I had my own equipment, lol.

    HeidiNicole: Welcome to the challenge! You are doing an awesome job, wow!

  • Heidi, Ophelia and Thnknthin1- you guys are doing awesome!!! Way to go, y'all!

    I finally saw 165.4! So happy! I took a break from working out for about a week now. I did not continue with the lifting (to answer your question, Ophelia ), it totally wiped me out. I had an old routine on paper along with the dumbbells but somehow they got lost in the move and I did not save it on the computer, grr!! So I compiled a new beginners' routine and it was way too much for me, lol. I was/am still in dart league and didn't want to be too sore to play (2 more games then I'm done!) At least that was/is my excuse for not keeping up with lifting, lol.

    However, I will be restarting the 30 Day Shred (after a year) for sure tonight with 3lbers to start with and keeping up with the 30-60 min on the elliptical trainer. Wish me luck with 30DS, ahh.
  • I was feeling a little sick this morning, so my numbers for today might not be completely accurate, since it is 1.4 lbs less than yesterday, but I'll be logging it for the week anyhow. That being said, my weigh-in was 243.2...hoping that my body will be nice to me and let me keep this loss. Overall, it would make for a 4.8 loss for the week! However, even without the ickies from this morning, I would still be around 4 lbs down, so I'm still happy about my progress for the week either way.

    thnkthin1: Nice loss! Also, is that a new avatar or am I just really unobservant? Haha. Either way, you're looking great! Definitely an inspiration, since we have similar starting weights.

    amandie: Totally understandable...there'd be no point in doing one thing, if it took away your ability to do all the other things you want to do! Also, congrats on seeing 165! That's awesome. Oh, and best of luck on the 30DS, too...I did level 1 and a couple days of level 2, but everyone I was doing it with quit, so I ended up stopping it for now, too -- I'll go back to it when I'm under 200 lbs, I think. I bet you will tear right through it, though! Have fun.
