@Ophelia - my $.02 is don't let weight loss become the "be all end all" you know that exercise is healthy so don't worry about the stall. Just keep getting healthier, even if you don't lose weight for a month, who cares? If you're getting healthier overall that's the real ticket! The weight will come off.

I am trying to remember if I ever stalled with JM's 30 Day Shred alone. I was doing that along with 30 min to 1 hour on the elliptical trainer, I didn't stall much. But I am with Rodeogirl- even if you don't see much on the scale, your body will!!! I need to get back to doing that ASAP, it really helps with your body. If you haven't been working out regularly, you MAY see a gain on the scale but that is usually water because the muscle (fibers?) break up to be repaired or something like that, lol so just give it a week or two, just stick with it and it will come off! :)

PS Congrats on your loss!!

Hi guys! Down a couple for this weeks weigh in... Did six miles walking/jogging last weekend on top of my usual 1.25 a day. Need to get into a routine with that since I signed up for a 5k in July!

Hope everyone is doing well! :)

Great job you guys! Keep up the good work. :cheer2:

I'm down only by a pound this week. Which is negligible given that it can be due to water weight or general fluctuations. -_-

I'll just have to make more of an effort. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to fit in exercise?

I work as an Auxiliary Nurse at a Geriatric Care Center. 8 hours a day 5 days a week. When I get home I'm terribly exhausted so I find it difficult to work out.

I walk to and from work a few times a week, whenever I can't find someone to give me a lift. I don't know how far away from work I am in terms of distance; I do know that it takes me about an hour to get home at a steady pace.

Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. :)

Way to go, PinkPeachPie, Beewidget and Astoria!

Astoria- Honestly, your walking already sounds like a great thing right now for few times a week! You can use google maps to enter your address, click on directions then enter the address of your work to calculate the distance. As for more exercise, there are many free videos online that go for up to 30 minutes so you can look and see what you would like to try. HTH!

Would love to join!
 

Am I too late to join? Sorry I just saw this and have been looking for something exactly like this. Thanks for starting it Brandibooxoxo! I have my back info from the 20th so I'll use that in the template. (I write it down on paper too)
So here's my stats, good luck everyone!

6/21/13 196.0

So, didn't get to 190, but had a great time camping and maintaining 196 for a couple of weeks. Yes, I did have some treats and dinners out! But now it is the first day of summer and time to get back in gear!

Nah, you are not too late, Kayin. Welcome!!

Hoping for even a small loss for week #2 - Official weigh in on Sunday morning!

Welcome Kayin

Thank you Amandie. :hug:

I calculated the distance and it comes out to 1.819 miles one way. So it's a little over 3 miles whenever I do walk to and from work. That's always good. :D

I've already found a few workouts I like. I'll be giving them a try.

Again, thank you!

Remember to update your original posts!

I love going through and seeing how everyone is doing. Don't give up!

I've been stalled a few days, but seeing here that I actually lost 4.5 this week really made me realize my body is just trying to catch up! :dizzy:

Broke my stall! Maybe I'm done building muscle from my new workout and ready to burn FAT!

Way to go, people who lost!

Keep pushing through if you gained/maintained! It will and has to COME OFF.

:carrot: NSV- fit in my sz 14 mini-goal skinny jeans!! I am also out of the obese and into the overweight category now, it's been nearly 10 years! So happy because that's all I've ever thought about since I was 230 and now I'm here?! Onwards to "normal"/healthy weight range! :carrot:

Way to go Amandie!!

Thanks, Ophelia and Rodeogirl!!!

I am still 166 today, same as last week. I know I did not eat or drink enough to maintain so I have a feeling this may be some sort of water weight, at least I hope! LOL.

Don't forget to edit your posts for your WIs and I hope everyone had a good weekend!

I posted in another thread/support group that I frequent to and decided I will share this here too since I really need the accountability! I am doing fine on the food part, I just want to start working out again because I knew I felt GOOD. When I first started, I would not miss a workout for any reason, even tell my friends/family that I cannot meet up with them unless I do my workout first, etcetc. I stopped working out regularly over a year ago due to an injury and have been using that excuse ever since so it's time to start up again! Tonight, I did 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer. Yay! :carrot:

So here is my plan for this week- Sun/Mon/Tues- elliptical trainer, Wed/Friday- lifting and have Thurs/Sat off. If any of you happen to be around, please ask me if I worked out that day. (edited workout days according to my schedule.)

Have a great evening, everyone!

Welcome, Syckgirlsfv!!

Way to go, Opheliaphoenix and Thnknthin1!!

Ophelia- I have not lifted today since I was so busy all day but I am about to do it right now though! Thanks for asking. :)

Did it!!! Man, I am sore, I can feel it when I type right now, lol. Glad I'm only doing this twice a week, haha.

I am still plugging away, working out and enjoying the weather (well, now it's cold, haha!!) I have worked out Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday with the elliptical trainers and Wednesday was lifting- man, that was horrible, LOL. I am still sore from the squats and I honestly don't think I had proper form for some of them. I think I may do the 30 Day Shred for a long while in place of lifting/strength training, this way I'll be more "prepared" when I go back to lifting.

Ok, so I think I may have figured out why I have not been losing for a while now. I am on Weight Watchers (on my own with a free phone app, no meetings, e-tools nor online, etc) and apparently I was eating 2 points over my daily points allowance along with most of my weeklies. Oops!!! The phone and I forgot that your DPA changes as you lose and for some reason, the app did not reflect that going from 180 to 166! Grr. At least I figured it out NOW and can move forward because I was going a little crazy, wondering why I wasn't losing when I thought I was doing everything right. I should see some losses happening in the next week or two now that I'm working out consistently.

Have a great OP weekend, y'all!!!

I posted in a couple other threads but want to mark here as well that I broke out of the 300's today and am even more energized to make 275 by the end of June. Gotta get crackin on that goal and not slack off!

Way to go, Rodeogirl!!!! :bravo: So happy for you! :carrot:

Awesome Rodeogirl!

Trying to gear up for hiking - I went on a good long walk tonight. Next step is to incorporate more hills.

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.
