Hey all - I posted my own little (need a buddy) thread but am not getting replies on it today... THen I saw this thread and looks like exactly what I was looking for!
Tomorrow (Monday Sept 29) is my DAY ONE! Anyone else just starting? I would like to get on here daily to converse with someone(s) on our next day goals and how we did today!

My starting weight is 165 and I REALLY want to be 140 by Jan 15. But I really need a buddy or two to push each other...and none of this, "Oh, it's okay if you slipped up today, tomorrow you will do better" crap - I need a drill SGT!

Tomorrow I want to walk on my breaks at work (two breaks, about 20 min each) and do Barry's Bootcamp DVD (lower body) in the evening. I also have planned out what I'm going to eat and would like to stick to it!

I want to be down to my goal of 140 by Oct 18/08 (going home for a wedding)..well approx that date..I started at 230lbs Oct 1/08..I'd love to have someone to kick me in the butt and keep me motivated....I find that I am slacking off food wise and not being so strict with myself......however I joined the gym yesterday so I am hoping that will help! Anyone out there who can keep me in line foodwise????

Blcarter84Men have moments just like us.. lol. I didn't do much today either.. after 2 nights back to back at Busch Gardens I was exhaused today. So I just stayed home and cleaned. I didn't do any exercise today but I tried my best to watch my eating. Tomorrow I am going to the gym in the morning and am going to try something new in the afternoon.. My job is 3.25 miles away from my house.. so for the first time I am going to walk home from work. my fiance thinks I will give up halfway and call him to pick me up.. but knowing me.. that weill make me want to do it no matter how tired i get.. just to prove him wrong! Hopefully if my walk goes good I will try it a few times a week. So wish me luck.

Angel - First of all, CONGRATS ON YOUR CRAZY WEIGHT LOSS! I can't even imagine being 140 again from my 165. I can't imagine how great you must feel about yourself right now!!

I'll help you stay in line with your food! I'll be the drill instructor! How do you want to do it? I've always found if I write down everything I eat all day long and have to tell and/or show someone my list at the end of the day, that I am more careful with what I put into my mouth that day? Want to do that?

So today I started off the week in a great mood.. and this morning I finally conquered the eliptical. I have never been able to do more than 5-10 min on it without feeling like I am dyingwell today I finally did 20 minutes and felt so great that I also did 30 min on the treadmill. I have set my self a goal to be 230 by halloween. Thats 14 pounds away.. but if I keep going at this pace I will do it!!!

How are you guys doing today?

I rode my bike to class again today- 6 miles- fitday says thats about 330 calories, not bad for just going to class. Walked the dog 2 miles and did abs on my stability ball. Finally finished that dang 12 page paper without jumping out my window! Haven't eaten a whole lot today I still have 700 calories to eat and I don't think I'm going to make it to 1200- I have no appetite for some reason. I weigh myself tomorrow, we'll see how it goes.

Keep it up girls it looks like you're all doing awesome!

Well I am off to the gym and then I am going to weigh myself before I go to work. Hopefully I have time to post it. I feel a little bloated though so we will see what the numbers say. My pants already fit better though so either way I am happy.

for a great weigh in today. I went to the gym this morning and actually did 25 min on the eliptical. Everyday I try to do a little more on the eliptical.. I am going back to the gym today after work to walk for at least 60 min.

Today will be a great day.. or at least thats what the voices in my head keep telling me...haha!!

depressing day...

didnt have class so no bike, maybe I'll ride it to the tanning salon. I'm about to eat some dinner and head to the gym around 7. I got my 30 Day Shred tape today so I'm going to go ahead and start that. My bf just informed me that I've gained some weight since we started dating and he'd appreciate if I lost it. Sweet.

Oh thats just AWESOME of him to say that! Do you want me to kick him? Anyways so I weighed today and I actually gained a pound so I am kind of bummed about that. But I know taht I have been working hard and maybe its muscle. My clothes do already fit alittle better. Anyways I only had time for 30 minutes today. and i had to go on the treadmill because all the ellipticals were taken. But I did an incline of 10 at 3.8 mph. I was sweating pretty good but I still like to run better. Let me know how the 30 day shread goes, I would be curious to try it in addition to wat I am doin already. Also do you need any weights or anything at home??
