  • Congratulations Red Team!

    Peanutt, Shan84 and SMSDreamer2007- You all had AWESOME losses.
  • Congrats on the the win Red Team! Let's do it again this week, ok?

    I have some happy news to report. My first mini-goal has been to lose 15 pounds by my daughter's first birthday. Her birthday is in a week and a half, and today I reached the goal!

    In some ways it is exciting and some ways not. I am happy to reach the goal, but still discouraged that I am one year post-partum and still have so much baby weight. It's also discouraging to think about working so hard to lose the weight when we want to have another baby in the next year or two, which means gaining weight again.

    I haven't decided what my next goal is going to be. I may just aim for one more pound by the end of the month and Kaitlyn's birthday, and then set a new goal for the month of August. Wow, I can't believe it's almost August!
  • Congratulations Red Team!!!
    Peanutt, Shan84 and SMSDreamer2007- You all had AWESOME loses.

    Way to take back the title

    Now lets do it again!

    I want to see another great week from you all, and myself included
  • Beth- Congrats on meeting your mini goal!

    Everyone- Thanks for the birthday comments.

    Susan- Your trip looks like it was so much fun! We are heading out now on a 4 hour hike here in Durango. Hope I survive!

    Hope everyone else is having a great day! Check in again later.
  • Beth - WTG on meeting that mini-goal! Remember to focus on the positive and the progress! And just think how healthy and strong your body will be for your next pregnancy after you lose the weight and become healthier. And if you do it once, you'll be able to do it again, right?
  • Well donr Beth!

    I just got back from my 30 minutes on the office treadmill. 1.5 miles.
  • wtg everyone on all your victories/losses! That is AMAZING!
  • Courtney- Good job getting in the treadmill.

    We just returned from our hike and it was wonderful. The weather was cool and with a light breeze it was perfect. It wasn't uphill hiking, but it was still very nice and I felt every bit of it. After my shower now, I feel even better.

    Hope everyone is having a great day.
  • Good Morning Red Team!

    Happy Hump Day to you all. I hope you are all having a good week and getting in your exercise! We need to keep that tittle

    Beth- Again, congratulations on your mini goal. Celebrate each step of your weightloss Remember, pregnancy is much easier when you are at a lower BMI. It will be heather for both you and your baby.

    Courtney- Great job getting your miles in. It's hard in the middle of the day.

    Shan- Enjoy your trip, I hope you are having great weather.
  • I'm back from the office gym. I split my time today between strength and cardio for a little something different.
  • I've stayed the same so far but I have been completely on plan :\ BUT I did ride my bike yest which I am not used to on a hard lvl. My muscles were tired yest not hurting, not sire, just tired plus I think drinking a diet soda didnt help :\ I guess time to drop the diet soda again. Amazing how 1 diet soda 2 days in a row can hinder that combined with "new" exercise regimens.
  • Good luck to everyone with weigh in this weekend. I'm leaving at 6am tomorrow morning to head camping for a week, followed by a road trip to Iowa for three weeks. I will try to stay in touch here on the threads.

    Say goodbye to the bf in one week. I am so glad he was able to come here for three weeks. We were supposed to meet up in Europe in Dec/Jan, but finances will be tight. Hopefully everything works out though.

    Food has not been 100% perfect, but exercise has been awesome with the bf here. Hope to get everything back on track soon.
  • Have fun shan! sorry he has to leave next week, hopefully you can still get together in europe!
  • Hi Everyone,
    Had to log in my weight early. I hope you all have an awesome weigh in tomorrow. I'll be checking in tomorrow night but I didn't want to be too late. Have a wonderful weekend
  • Good thinking being early K3LL3Y don't want to miss and have to use a freebie.

    I am really excited for the weigh in tommorrow. I think it will be my first good one in awhile
