Thanks Virginia, good to see you :) Here's to getting back on track :hug:

219.6 today! Back in the 2-teens by the skin of my teeth!!

merilung but you are there :yay: YOU :)

Starting Weight - 211.4
1:210.6 Sunday, no workout for me today.
2:210.4 Did a 5 mile WATP and then walked another mile outside.
3: 209.4 5 miles WATP and another walk outside with walking poles. getting the hang of them!!
4: 210.4 again... up down up down.... 3 miles on the treadmill and 2 miles outside with the poles. I worked today~
5:208.6 Our snow melted (it's coming back not going to get excited) so I walked outside, 5 miles very very hilly!
6: 208.4 It is snowing again, but it's light dare I go walking outside? We'll see nope... walked with Leslie Sansone
7 207.6 No walk today, bible quiz meet with my kids. If stress = exercise, yeah I don't think so
8 207.8 Walked on my funky treadmill. I have to bump up the incline to at least 1.5 and higher when I go faster or it completely shuts down requiring me to start over, so I did 4 miles... up hill, thankfully not through the snow.
9. 207.4 Walked 2 miles on the treadmill and then did a 4 mile walk with Leslie Sansone. Snow is coming down outside and I'm cold!!

So I just started today and I think I'll try weekly weigh ins but I'd like to drop in to report on my progress with workouts and stuff...sounds like a great way to stay accountable!

Dec.9 - weight 192.5 C25K-W1D1 Didn't do too great with my eating today but tomorrow is another day!

mnicole22 :welcome: to the thread. I record my workouts and stuff on my weigh in page. I'm on page one. So record away. Glad to have you join us. This is my first official day back on track and I did well, if I do say so myself :D

10. 206 this morning, not really trusting it though. 5 mile walk with Leslie, I'm freezing. Making acorn squash soup for me and potato cheese for the rest of the family.

I have finally passed through the incredible stress gauntlet of finals as both a student and a teacher, my husband's thesis and cars breaking down left and right. Now, I have an entire month to focus on myself and my fitness. :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

Donna potato cheese :drool: though I'm not allow potatoes right now :(. Nice weigh in Lady :high:, take it and run :) … the scale may surprise you in the morning with an even lower number :crossed:

PUPMOM5 sorry about the cars :hug: Glad you can now focus on YOU :D

Ok ladies...I am truly confused. I keep being told that I should be consuming more calories what with breastfeeding and such. I have a hard time getting in all my calories in a day :S So I wonder if I added a protein shake or a meal replacement of some kind if it would help me get in those last 300 calories I tend to be missing. Which seems bizarre to me because am I not supposed to be eating less calories? So confusing!

Virginia I don't think adding a protein shake is a good idea because of all of the extra stuff they have in them but you can get extra calories in just by adding two glasses of milk. If you like milk (I love it) just a thought. It's not heavy and it gives you and the baby some great nutrients.

my weight stayed the same 177.6. I really think it would have been lower had I got that extra hour of sleep that I should have. I need to learn to go to bed at a decent time. :)

So...I come in here with my head held low and my guilt on my sleeve. I have completely gone off the track....and maybe through the woods, up a hill, slammed into a house, turned over.....yada yada. I am scared to get on the scale on Friday morning (won't be back home until Thursday night). I know my Christmas goal is out of reach...but geez if I could just get back on track, that alone would be a holiday miracle! I am so ashamed at myself. I stopped working out AND started eating all kinds of holiday goodies, which led to eating every meal off plan :( Ugh, such a struggle. But either way, I'm back. Reading through these posts helps me to get my mentality back on board...just have to get the will power and motivation back as well.

akelly good to see you :hug: I think we all got off track over the holidays I am just getting back into the swing of things. I'm trying this eating 6 days low carb with no bread, no potatoes, no sweets, no starchy vegetables (I think that is it) and then on day 7 which is Saturday is a cheat day. I kind of have the cheat day planned out so it won't be as bad. I don't think I am going to over do it because the scale will be too discouraging on Sunday. I'm glad you're back :hug:

11 - still 206 today. maybe the scale is broken :p Did 6 miles of Leslie Sanson (4 mile walk with miles 2 and 3 repeated.)

Thanks love2b :) it's good to be back... Some positive silver lining for myself- at least it was only a 2 week hiatus, not a 2 year like before!!
