Tina - I'm glad you're doing so well with your OA program. It really helps when you have something like that to give you hope. The Beck Solution did the same thing for me. I'm glad that you have some great ladies in your group, too! I hope your daughter loves her cookbook. I had one when I was a girl and loved it, too!
Laura - Just reading about your life makes me tired! ;) But I guess I worked crazy hours like that when I was young. I can't do it any more. I believe Jillian had Brittney running at that speed for 10 seconds. She stopped at 8 seconds so she made her do it for 15 seconds the next time. Jen - Your field trips sound like they were a lot of fun! It's nice to change up the work routine a bit. I'm glad you had a fun girls night out. Those are great! Melissa (Hun) - I'm glad your night out ended up being within your plan limits. Thanks for the recommit survey. The responses have some good information! |
Andi18: Good for you for wanting to start running. Have you looked at the C25K program?
Tina30: Congrats on making it through day 3. I am glad your son is feeling better. I may have to go out and find that cookbook for my boys. Maybe after I move this spring, I will have more time. I think they would love it. Thanks for the idea. Let me know how you like it. HuneB: Thanks for the reminder about the challenge. I know I only posted once, so I will try to be better. Quote:
Melissa73: You are awesome! 60 days on plan, WOW! Terapet: Hello! Good for you for writing everything down. I may need to start doing that. Cats: Wow! Awesome day of workout! SkinnyVibes: Good for you for getting your workout in! KSK: I hope you are in a better mood today. Have fun at Zumba class. I have never heard of that. Shymoment: Quote:
JLBake: It sounds like you had a lot of fun doing the field trips. One of my favorite things to do with the kids for homeschooling. The Zoo is one of our favorites. Countingdown: Have a great day at work. SceneStealer: I am sorry you are still not up to par. I have a feeling that if they put you in the hospital, you would ask them where the workout room was. You really are an inspiration. Have fun skiing (snow, right). I would love to do that one day. As for me. I have a monthly goal to loose 5 pounds a month. I need a miracle to make it this month, but I am going to give it my all this next 2 days. I’ll let you know how it goes. Here is a big hug to all you guys. |
Melissa 73 – I struggle with getting my veggies in also. I’m a bit veggie challenged but am working on it! Way to go on doing the last chance workouts. 103 squats is great!
Kari – Way to go on being able to get rid of some “fat” clothes! It’s so nice that you were able to give them to someone who will really use them. I usually garage sale mine and then give the rest to the good will, but I tend to get attached to a few items (silly, I know) and it’s great to know someone you care about will be using them! On your recommit survey you said one thing you struggle with is not being lazy. This cracked me up mostly because I can so relate! Here’s to not being lazy!! ;) Laura – I’m decided to go back further in the chat to do some personals so I’m going to hit you again! I really admire you for staying as on track as you have with the lifestyle that you have. You really do great and are an example of what I would like to be when I get to my maintaining stage. I know you are frustrated with not making it to goal yet. I think your maintaining is a great accomplishment! It has always seemed that losing weight is harder the closer you get to goal. I have heard many stories of people who decide to focus on maintaining instead of losing and somehow their bodies decide it’s time to let go of the extra weight. I really hope that happens for you! Muse – 10 months is an amazing accomplishment. You should be so proud! Emily – I’m curious, what is t-tapp? Way to go on accomplishing 7 weeks of C25K. I’m impressed! Counting – It’s tough to be happy with losing weight slowly, isn’t it? In my mind, I know it’s better to take it off slowly for many different reasons, but I like instant gratification! Rennie – Being a turtle instead of a rabbit is a great mentality to have! Yello –You sound like you feel miserable. I hope you get to feeling better soon. :hug: Mom23 – I’m working on snapping out of my funk, you’ll have to join me! :D Very cute story about your daughter. Thanks for sharing it. Andi – I’m glad you’re liking your classes with Marty and Amy! And it’s great that you’ve been able to find something new to enjoy as a result! Cathy – You’re doing great on the exercise. It almost March so hopefully the snow will be leaving soon! Don’t worry about not losing weight if you’re losing inches. The weight will come. |

Good morning ladies! I was perfectly on plan yesterday! DH wanted pizza for dinner last night, but I already had dinner in the crockpot. And we were good for dessert even though he wanted to pig out on junk! So I am very proud of myself for that one! :) Got laundry going and going to get on my tredmill here in a few minutes. Think I might take little man outside to play this afternoon, the snow is finally gone in the back yard. YAY!! I have to also go post my results for our vacation fund. :) Sorry I have been slacking at that one. Ok, time to get busy!!

Mom23BC, HA! I totally would ask where the gym is if I were in the hospital. And if I were bedridden with a broken leg, I'd either ask for dumbbells or MacGyver a workout out of whatever heavy objects I could find in my hospital room (tricep dips on a walker?) :) Now, let's just hope this plan does not get put into action after my skip trip!
Karen, thank you so much for the support. And woo hoo - I totally beat Brittany by doing two thirty second sets :) Emily, I don't know what t-tapp is either... let us know if it's something fun to try! You ladies make me smile so much and put me in a great mood for the day... THANK YOU! :) |
Good afternoon ladies,
Well I am hurtin' today. I did the cardio kickboxing class last night for the first time. It was, try it for free before you join. Well I HAVE to join because it was the best workout i've had in a very long time. OUCH!! I thought i might die...LOL. So today my muscles are aching and i'm up a little on the scale because my poor muscles are sore and healing. It's funny, when we were doing all these squats in class I was cursing Melissa's last chance workout of squats because my legs were already sore from the 103 squats I did the night before! YEOW!!! So needless to say all the kicking and knees and squats were really burning. I can't wait until Monday. I don't think i'm going to do such an intense strength workout on Friday nights before my weigh in, not until I get used to it. So I'll be sure to do the class on Monday and Wednesdays. After school yesterday, I also went to the bike shop by my house and put a nice green Raleigh Mt. Bike on layway. I'll be able to finish paying for it and pick it up in April. Now i REALLY can't wait for Spring. So I am focusing more on sitting while i'm eating and eating slowly and mindfully. I'm doing really well with it. Today my focus is making time, which I already do, so today i'm going to find the time to make a schedule on paper and put my workouts in so that I can stick to it. :D No time for personals because my lunch is almost over! I'll be back to post tonight after DS's soccer game! |
Hi Team!
Well, so far this week has been good, eating-wise. I am on plan, and the scale is moving back down from where it was on Monday (there is a reason I used my freebie LOL)..hopefully I'll have a loss to post on Monday. In other news, the sick people in my house are on the road to recovery, and I'm good besides my pre-TOM migraine. Ugh! Hope all are well! |
Hi everybody,
Thanks for the great support on the 3 lbs loss…unfortunately TOM will be here any day now and I have a feeling I won’t be so successful this week. Do you guys ever feel tiered of having to worry so much about weight? I mean I have so many things to be grateful for and I love my family to death, but sometimes I wonder how I would be different as a person if I didn’t always have to struggle with this weight issue, I mean it has been a constant battle all my life and I think its not only aged me but tier’s me too…I just want to be happy with me….okay enough said…can’t ball at work right now and I shouldn’t even be doing this. Well have a great day all! Recommit Survey 1. What is your eating plan of attack? LA Weight Loss (on my own) 2. What is your preferred method of exercise? I like to mix it up…elliptical, stat. bike, treadmill, walking outside (if it ever gets warmer) and exercise dvd (just received my first WATP…can’t wait to try it out) 3. What is something you excelled at over the past 6 weeks? I have gotten much better at dedicating myself to exercise. I am up to 4 days a week. 4. What is something you are still struggling with? I am finding it hard to find time to do things that mean a lot to me such as posting on this great support chat line and getting enough sleep. 5. What is your goal for the next 6 weeks? To be more involved on this chat thread, to push myself harder and stay dedicated to my exercise program and to challenge myself each time a little more, whether it is by doing a longer work out or intensify my workout. Also, to be true to myself and enjoy what is infront of me, as I have so much to be grateful for and sometimes I feel like this weight issue take everything from me and allows me not to be the person I want to be. 6. Say something positive about yourself! I love to help and give to others. I will and will always be the friend, mother, spouse, daughter that you can trust and count on. |
Good Afternoon everyone!! I've went and gotten myself behind on posting again. But I've been procrastinating homework so bad lately and I've GOT TO STOP! I've got to focus on getting this paper written before I can do fun stuff like personals. Although I have read through and you guys are just awesome!! We have such a great team! Keep up that awesome REAL red team support!

Hi team I don't really have time to read everyone's posts so I am going to give you update of how I am doing. I have pretty much stayed OP perfectly for the last week. I am back down to my weight from right after Valentines day so things are looking up! I went Cross country skiing this weekend! Boy was that interesting and good exercise! I have a temptation weekend coming up.... I need some tips. We will be in the car for about 4 hours tomorrow then as soon as we get there we are going to a concert. So I won't really have much time to eat.... I guess I will have to pack some stuff. Then Sat I am sure we will go out to eat and I am sure there will be plenty of drinking involved. That's what always gets me I can do really good on the food portion but when it comes to drinks I always go over. That is sooo frustrating. I may have to use my Freebie week this week. Does anyone know how I do that? Do I just let Chellez know? Well Ladies wish me luck! And hope fully I will be able to check in again tomorrow before I leave! I am sooooo excited!
Recommit Survey 1. What is your eating plan of attack? LA Weight Loss 2. What is your preferred method of exercise? Treadmill although I need to get a membership... My goal is to do that on the 4th. 3. What is something you excelled at over the past 6 weeks? Not getting discouraged when I gain. It's notmal it will come off again. There is a reason I gained and I know that. Ha! 4. What is something you are still struggling with? I do not exercise even though I need to, I feel like if I am losing with out exercising what is the point. I need to stop that attitude asap! 5. What is your goal for the next 6 weeks? To get a memebership at the gym and work hard to meet my goal of 50 lbs by 4/30! Omg! I don't feel like it's possible but I know it is! 6. Say something positive about yourself! I like to be positive and motivational for others it helps them and me! __________________ |

I am sure glad to hear my mentality is ok lol. I have never done anything quickly. Heck I didn't even have my first child until I was 24. Just wanted to check in and say HEY to everyone. Trying to get things finished up around here. Leaving in the morning to take care of a friend that just had a hysterectomy she gets out of the hospital Friday morning. Not sure if I will have time to get back to the computer or not. If you don't hear from me, I will be home Sunday sometime and I will post then. |
Hi gals -
Well I found a solution to my where to work out for training problem. The place I was going didn't have a pool and was kinda icky. I just went there because I had a free 2 month pass from the Discovery Channel Body Challenge. After pricing places that were as much as $45-80.00 a month I finally found out that the place I'm taking my swim classes offers community memberships for what runs around $20-$25 a month depending on what session it is (its a university) SCORE. I ran right down there and they pro-rated me for the Spring Term so it was $45 for the next 2 months. So Stupidly happy about this. It's close to home. Takes about a 25 minute walk to get there which will be nothing by bike when it gets warm. Also... I tried on some of my stashed away 14's I bought on clearance. I can get them all closed! A wee-bit too tight still on most of them but I'm wearing one pair right now. 14. 14! Holy crap!!! I started in 26/28s. (I didn't actually own any 28's but my 26's were tight at the time) Just a bit excited today! :) |
Muse~ WAY TO GO!! That is so awesome about the gym and the pants! How exciting! I am so happy for you!
