Hey Ladiesss!!!!
Gretchen, I'm so proud of you!! Way to go on the loss girly girl!! Keep up the great work!!
Tabitha, Thanks for the PM it's great knowing that there is someone out there who has SO MUCH in common with me. For those members that are familiar with my story you know what I'm talking about. I'm so glad you found us and that you have taken the positive steps to a new healthy you! I like Walk away the pounds as well! Get on your orbitrek girl and get that butt in motion. Something you may like by way of workout videos is the exotic dancing workouts orrrr perhaps some bellydancing videos. I have started using a gazelle now and also the playstation 2 game Dance Dance Revolution which is so fun!! I'm also going to buy the Yourself! Fitness game for Playstation 2 when it comes out next month!
Mel, I'm sorry your knees are hurting
I hope they get better soon!
Jeniqua, how you doin sweetheart?
Deana, you crafty woman how is the painting going? I'm painting our hallway on Monday and then I want to take some pictures of our house because I never showed you guys the before and afters since we remodeled.
I wanted to tell you guys about the gazelle a little, some people say not to even invest in the low end model that is carried in department stores but I ignored their advice and bought it anyway. It was only 89 bucks at shopko in my town that's not too much to spend even if it ended up being inadequate. BUT I love it! get this....I did a 30 minute work out on it today and 5 hours later my legs were still shaking!! I'm totally serious girls!! I also burned 275 calories in 30 minutes and I enjoyed it. Now the effect it has on me may not be the same for everyone because I'm a bit heavier and I'm sure it will lose effectiveness as my weight goes down but my thinking is that no matter whether it gives me a hardcore workout or a light workout it's still got my body in motion. The places I feel it the most are my arms and my calves, and after I finished my workout my leg muscles were twitching!! So I would recommend it, but that is my opinion!
ohhhh Tabitha, I was going to tell you that we have our Moms Losing weight MSN group if you would like to join. We run our Biggest loser challenge from that group since it involves prizes I don't want anyone to feel that 3fc endorses the challenge or has any hand in the running of the challenge. We are currently in week 6 of the eight week challenge and we will take a couple weeks off between challenges. Every day there is an exercise challenge except on wednesdays which is water drinking day 100 ounces to earn the points. We award points based on pounds lost and inches lost so if you work hard you can really clean up so to speak. The challenge we have right now is only the first run so the next one will be much better. There is a price to join the challenge since I can't afford to shell out the money for the prizes myself lol. There will be more information when we get closer to the next challenge.
okay enough rambling here is the link

Oh, Roxy, has your son figured out how to use Reflet? I absolutely love that program and it is so easy to use! Have him email me if he wants some great graphics sites.
Okay girls, time for me to get back to work! I hope you all had a great night!
I would love to join, but I wouldn't be able to do it until the end of the week, depending on the cost. Anyway, I am up later than I intended, so I am off to bed.
