Hello chicks Im up .2 from yesterday but thats not bad. I havent worked out in a week but ive been still losing. I plan to go back to the gym saturday, Ive been so busy and I really miss working out but I dont feel that bad because for me diet is more important.
Jennie- you are looking great Im a follower on youtube, you results have been amazing!
Peachykeen- nice work keep going it will get easier.....
I'm so happy... after that fluke weight of 312 on this past Monday, I've been staying consistently down in the 3-0's. I'm at 306.6 as of today. My 5% is at 303, so I'm excited about the possibility making it there by the time of my next WW meeting on this coming Monday.
I broke out my old Turbo Jam dvds on Tuesday (bought them back in '06 when the first came out, and I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've actually DONE it). I did a whole 45 mins of Turbo Jam (cardio party), and 20 mins of a kickboxing dvd, for a total of a tad over an hour... and I didn't die! LOL
I plan to do it again tonight, being motivated by the fact that the scale is actually moving in the right direction.
Singingmua - that's awesome! You'll be at your 5% in no time!
Matilda - I haven't been to the gym in almost two weeks - I was going to go yesterday right after work, but I forgot my gym bag at home, then had to pick up hubby and get to his hockey game! But I too need to get back into it ASAP.
Aimee - maybe you can try finding recipes for weight loss on a budget - I remember googling something like that once upon a time and surprised by the number of things I found.
Diana - glad Magnum is feeling much better. Yay for more sleep, although I didn't get quite enough yesterday either.
Jennie - I've really been thinking about getting into P90X as well. Hubby's best friend did it a few months ago and he was always a slim guy to begin with, but he lost quite a bit of inches and has serious definition now!
As for me - I hit a new low today! 197.1 down 1.0! Yay for me! TOM seems to be toying with me this time around... I've never really lost during TOM and don't know if this is real but I'm enjoying the little whooshes. But I am having some intense back pain this month, which I'm not enjoying! Just a couple more days to go.
I feel better today, except for that TOM thing, LOL. Hubby is at work today, too, with high is 101* with the index as high as 117*, yuck. I wouldn't be surprised if he came home melted on the inside and charred on the outside.
Mua, good job on all the exercise.
Swingirl, thanks for the support. I made Veggie Mac and Cheese from scratch last night and it didn't kill us so I won't give up the cooking. It was good too, and I don't even like mac and cheese.
Kukkie, good job on the new low.

August Goal Between 190-195
Onederland I am coming for you this time!!!!!
1. 205.8
2. 205.8
3. 203.4
4. 201.8
5. 202.0 (up .2 I weighed 2 1/2 hours before I normally do I had to leave for work early) could be why I am up a little.
Kukkie ~woo hoo on the new low! That always feels good.
singingmua ~ good job on the doing the turbo jam. I have those DVD's and probably have used them less than you have (which you said you could count on one hand). Isn't that sad? I need to get my butt moving again.
I'm in the midst of a 30 day challenge to myself It lasts up to Labor Day and our 2 week vacation. After vacation, I'm gonna get out the p90x and see what it's about. 30ds does get boring. I hate level 2 of it too. I may skip it right to level 3

That sounds really good . . . where did you find that recipe?
As for me, sitting at 188.2 this morning, moving back down since getting back on track with my metamucil, funny how much of a difference that really makes.
Hopefully will see the scale keep moving back down and below my low of 186
Penguin - I’m sorry you guys aren’t feeling well. No more chicken thighs for you!
Jennie - That is awesome that you had such good results with 30DS, I can’t stick to it, I get bored. I’m glad to hear how much you like the P90X though. My plan right now is to do Slim in 6, then P90X, then Insanity. I was starting on the Slim in 6 a few weeks back, but vacation derailed me. I have been told it is easier to keep up with the structure of those programs if you actually do start on a Monday, so my plan is for this coming Monday to be my first Slim in 6 day.
SwimGirl - I am having the money challenge and can’t eat exactly what I want issue as well right now because we spent more in Florida than we should have and hubby got a $200 ticket. It‘s tough
Diana - glad to hear the pup pup is doing better. It is so hard when they are sick because they can’t even talk to you about how they feel and you have to guess and I just hate it. Give Magnum some for me.
Singingmua - Good job! I have never tried turbo jam, but I have heard it’s good.
Kukkie - Congrats on the new low. I’m sorry about the back pain, that always sucks.
I am down .2 today to 165.8. I am going to have to really get on the ball. Some of you may have seen my post in general chatter - hubby and I are about to try to adopt 6 kids. One part of the process is that we have to pass physicals, so I want to get in the best shape I can before it is time to do that part. Not to mention that if they do let us have them, once there are 6 kiddos in the house (2, 4, 4, 5, 6, and 8) I won’t have much time to concentrate on weight loss (or anything else for that matter). I am now off to workout and then to the library to do some research on the adoption thing and multicultural families and kids’ nutrition and etc.
It lasts up to Labor Day and our 2 week vacation. After vacation, I'm gonna get out the p90x and see what it's about. 30ds does get boring. I hate level 2 of it too. I may skip it right to level 3
