Oh good! I kind of cheated with the 28 pound loss--had a baby, LOL! Most of it was fluid and baby, I think. I'm hypothyroid too, I take Levoxyl. My last TSH was 0.94 so I think I am doing ok! I'm hoping that after I lose more weight my thyroid function will improve on its own. Does that ever happen?

I'm going to the library this weekend to see if they have a different Leslie S. dvd to try.

Hi Ladies!!

Nice to meet ya, Liane!

I did the 2 mile Fat Burning Walk today -- those weights get me every time!

Here's to a healthier October!!!

ZetaMD2Be · 10-04-2008, 02:16 AM

Only 1 mile today -- I used the 15 min DVD that came with Leslie's WATP book. I went to see Josh Hoge in concert tonight (it's his CD release party) and it threw off my exercise schedule. It was AWESOME though.

Hope everyone had a good day! TGIF!

I tried a new dvd from the library--it was fun! I did the 3 mile but didn't use the waist belt thing. It was pretty tough without it.

How depressing about the thyroid. I don't like taking the pill in the morning, especially since it needs to be on an empty stomach, at the same time every day, and 1 hour before eating. I've been doing this for 2 years and it is a chore. Bleh. My dose was reduced by half a few months ago and it gave me hope that my thyroid function could possibly improve even more.

Eh, we'll see I guess.

Oh, I have a question. Are you all engaging your ab muscles when doing these dvds? I try to but I get pretty tired. Do you think these dvds strengthen the core pretty well?

kamesennin · 10-06-2008, 01:14 PM

I did the 2-mile yesterday! I'll have to fit in some walking today too since my husband took the car and our stroller is in the trunk. Oops.

ZetaMD2Be · 10-07-2008, 02:14 AM

I did the 4 Big miles DVD with the Firm band for the first time today. It's a great work out -- I didn't realize that it included a little jogging in it. WHOOSH! LOL.

Liane - I've only been using the videos for about a week, so I'm not sure how well it strengthens the core. I figure we need to give it a few weeks to decide that. I'll let you know what I think by the end of this month.

cathyxxx · 10-07-2008, 11:04 AM

good morning gang

I did 2 miles this morning. I used the new 5 Day Slim Down and did the first and last miles.

Zeta - CONGRATS on doing the whole 4 miles! awesome!

Liane - CONGRATS on the 2 miles! I engage the core muscles and I think it strengthens mine. Actually, for my size I think my core looks alright. I know that whenever I engage my arms with the walking I can feel it in my core.

hope everybody has a great

day
hugs
cathy

whoooohooo the mail just came and Leslie's new "Way Away your Hips & Thighs" with Fit Cuff is here!!!!

Did anybody else order it? Michele, did you?
For sure I'm gonna do the 2 mile walk tomorrow. Maybe I'll find time for the 21 minute lower body toning with fit cuff sometime this week.

ZetaMD2Be · 10-07-2008, 08:17 PM

Cathy -- let me know what you think of it! I just bought some of her older DVDs -- the Express ones, I think -- on ebay. I can't wait until they get here. I like to have some variety in my workouts.

I did the 3 mi Walk Away Your Waistline DVD with the belt. It was much easier this time than it was the first couple times. Gotta love that.

Hope everyone had a great day!

kamesennin · 10-08-2008, 12:21 AM

I did the 3-mile today! I'm going for a walk around the block to walk off dinner.
