Samantha - that's got be frustrating - maybe you should "drop" her as an exercise/diet buddy and keep her on as a regular friend instead - especially if what she does affects you.
My weigh in was this morning...down to 262...only 2 more pounds to go before my goal...will probably modify it to 250. That means I have to lose about 2 lbs a week until then, still a great goal for me, I think!!!
HI everyone! I'm new to the 3FC website, in fact this is the first message I am posting. It seems like a really motivational place. I just love all the support you give one another.
I would like to join the Super Spooky challenge if I can my goal is going to be getting below 170 lbs. It's not much, but Halloween is pretty close.
Today was pretty good. I did 40 minutes of circuit training and 60 mintes of taebo. Wish I would have went for a walk too but don'thave the energy right now. I am pleased with what I did accomplish today though. Have a nice night and will try to check in again tomorrow... Thursday is my weigh in day and want to get a bit more exercise in before stepping on that scale. Kind of nervous since I want atleast 2 lbs down but if not then I will be happy with what is gone since it will be gone.
sj that is very good. Did you do it all without stopping? I have to pace myself and can't do even 2 miles without stopping to catch my breath a bit but I am working on it
Yeah I did it all without stopping. But believe me it took a long time (several months) to get that far. I started out by walking 5 minutes and running 1 and I would repeat this three to five times. I tried to run 2-3 times per week. Every week I would add a minute of running or substract a minute of walking until I could run for about 20 minutes. It was very encouraging to do it this way because then I didn't feel like I was cheating when I walked.
But believe me there is no way I could do 60 minutes of Taebo like you did. I have to get better about doing other types of excercise. Right now I am just happy to be doing it though!
SJ - awesome job on the jogging - I was running for awhile before the wedding (I was up to 5K!) but I just haven't been motivated to start that up again. I know that when I do I won't be able to start off where I left off, but neither will I have to start off at the very beginning I guess.
Way to go, SJ!!! : cheer:
I KNOW I couldn't run that far! I bet I couldn't run a block! Maybe I should work on running, but I read somewhere that running when you are overweight is bad for your knees....any comments on that?
well good news is I am halfway to my mini goal of 145. I lost 3 more lbs and 1.5 inches (an entire inch off of my waist!) I am so excited. I did get a little exercise in today... I did my circuit training and will do a couple of miles walking. We went walking in town today and walked about a mile so far.
Sam- not sure about it being bad for your knees.
Sam - I'm pretty sure it's got to be at least HARD on your knee joints, because every extra overweight pound on your body weighs almost 5 times as much because of the downward pressure. I wouldn't do it if you have a propencity for bad knees.
