ok so four days in a row of the walking now all i need to do is start getting up with my alarm (4:30 AM) in the morning and start to do the toning that i want to do. i am drinking more water then i was a month ago. i do plan to take measurements tonight sometime.

I'm having a F*&$ this week... I'm still down from Tuesday - which is good - but I know that could easily creep back up. I need to get my poop in a group and do this.. but honestly this week - I DON'T WANT TO!! Motivation is gone. :(

Bring me back girls! Help me find it again!!! I know I need to get off my butt and exercise.. and to eat better and all that... UGH.

Count me in too..would love to be a size 5 by June 21st! I'm currently a size 7.

So far this week, I've done 4 days of doing both the TBL Cardio Max and Power Scuplt DvDs as well as walking 3 miles on both Sunday and Monday. I took today off to give my muscles a rest. I'm definitely seeing changes but I know its going to be tough to stay focused as this challenge goes on.

Hi all,

I am aiming to get 32 oz of watre in today and still taking stairs. I need to get a 14 min ab workout in again.

Baby gal I don't have an ab tape. My cable company called Comcast has an OnDemand option where I can go the the Fitness menu and watch a video on just about any subject. It changes monthly so hopefully I wont get bored.

Hey Shari, I'm hopeful you got the job. Sometimes interviews can seem misleading. For my current job all my boss talked about was how hot the computer guy was and how on Fridays they all liked to have a beer at work. . .and she's the owner of the company. I thought she was just passing time with me.

Hi Eny-:grouphug: we are here for you.

Sexybroke chick - WTG!!!!:cb:
Well at least it's Friday . . .:carrot:time for a drink.

Hey Ladies,
It sounds like everyone is doing great!

Hang in there Enygirl. Just remember Summer is coming and you want to look HOT! And you will! Just keep up with the exercise and eating right.

Shari-love the top! What a great idea to have a specific item of clothing you want to get into! I'm going to need to dig through my closet. I'm sure there's something adorable in there to motivate me.

Sexybrokechick-Way to go on the exercise! Stay motivated; it'll be worth it!

mrsaugie-how did your measurements go? It's gotta be tough getting up that early!

Babygal-nice job on the exercise! Keep it up!

Lumefan-you are always motivating!

MissJanel-14 minutes of abs? That's tough!

I've actually dropped 4 lbs. this week. I went to lunch at P.F. Changs with my sister today and had an appetizer as my meal, so I don't think I did too much damage. Sometimes the sodium gets me, though. I'm not really hungry, so maybe I'll skip dinner, or have some fruit later.

I am feeling good again, so I'll be back on the treadmill tomorrow!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Ooh, I want to join! Now that my size 12's (misses, 15 juniors) are fitting comfortably again, I would LOVE to be a size 10 (13 juniors) by summer. I literally do not remember the last time I was a 10. I usually buy my jeans at Old Navy and Gap, so I guess I'll go by their sizes.

My plan is to stick to my current eating and exercise plan, but drive less and walk more now that the weather is lovely and gas is $3.60 a gallon...

come on back eny! we are here for you.:hug:

just stopping in... hoping to stay half decently on track over the weekend! keep strong ladies!

Wow what a nice group developing here
 

Eny, Eny, Eny I rocked out LOUD at the workshop. Some of my evaluation scores were perfect. I recieved a lot of praise afterwards. Yes, they were a lil snoody, but I got through it. I wish you were doing better. I have always found you to be an encouragement. I hope you are treating yourself nicely while you go throuh this season.

Whisper: :wave:


:wave: Darby, thanks for your words of encouragement

Lady J: What ya drinking with your water :drool:

Sexy, Sexy: You go girl :carrot: Cardio MAX


Mrsaugie: 4:30 a.m. is darn early. Here's to you :dust:

S88: Were you always a size 7 ?

Today I went to the store and as I was walking in a lady was walking out. Her stomach was so huge, and it drooped down toward her knees, she was an elder lady. She had those pants pulled up and that shirt tucked in, jacket open, I thought to myself you might be hungry (and I was), but I bet you better not go in there today and go crazy on sweets. Ladies I sware I didn't even eat a piece of bulk candy. I didn't buy candy, chips or pop after seeing that woman, God bless her because she helped me today.

For about two weeks now I have been having a problem with my selection of food choices and binge eating. I am more conscious and in control of my food selection than my binge eating. Sometime when I realize I am binge eating I am still unable to stop. It's like I be talking to myself in my brain trying to stop over doing it but I say "it taste so good" " oh you might as well finish it" " you'll be hungry later" etc. I hate it. I wish it would stop. I hate overeating especially when I am aware I am doing it. It is totally embarrassing even when I'm alone, I feel uncomfortable and ashamed of myself.
Thanks for letting me share. Maybe I will have better control now that it is out there.

Chicks enjoy your weekend. :df:

Ok girls - My attitude is better - I'm working on the motivation. I had a good do-nothing day yesterday... but that mean no exercise ALL WEEKEND either! AHHH!!! It's chilly again today so it's videos for me. I WILL DO IT TONIGHT!!!

Shari - I'm now planning the trip! As soon as I hit an 8 comfortably I get to hug you for real! :hug:

baby - Great job at the conference!

Darby - great loss! (although I know where the fat flew off to... MY HIPS! :()

Sexy - Stick with it.. I know the troubles of perseverence.. I'm living it now! But remember - you can start over and over again... just keep starting over EVERYDAY!

Just- Welcome! Sounds like a great goal!

Thank you all for uplifting my spirits... I just need to get going again! I need to dedicate an hour of my day - EVERY DAY to working out.. doing SOMETHING to get my fat cells burning and shrinking! I need to make better food choices. I'm doing ok (not good) on the portions and amount going in... but I need to make better food choices.

I NEED TO BE A SIZE 12 IN 7 WEEKS!!!AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN STUFFING MY FACE AND SITTING ON MY BUM!

OK here's the quote for today: "Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person's physical, emotional, and mental states." ~Carol Welch .... Learn it...love it... live it!!!

:grouphug: & :dust: to all!

well i have been out of town all weekend. my measurement are as follows waist: 39 inches and hips: 41 inches.

just wait if i ever hit ten hours then i get up at 2:30 so i really do not complain at 4:30 just that lately i have not wanted to get out of bed.

babygal, i completely know what you mean with binge eating/overeating... i have a problem with that and it is miserable and embarrassing even when no one but you knows you've done it. i hope writing about it helps you get control. we're here for you!

a big hello to everyone! i need to try to get on here and check in and keep up with y'all more often. i've been working a lot which is good for the $ but killing me otherwise.

Hope everyone is doing great

Whisper thanks for your understanding. Since I wrote that so far I have not overate, I really believe it was related to the stress. Nevertheless it is something that I have to always be aware of because it happens so fast.

Last week I had to travel to two different workshops within one week. So now I have ten days off. My goal is to clean my whole house before I go back to work, wash walls, scrub floors, shampoo rugs, the works. So I must go put my motivational music on so I can get busy cause I sho don't feel like it today.

Plus I want to walk a 5k today. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Chickies be good to yourselves
