WSChick, I agree with Echo, focus on yourself and your goals. Who knows what's driving your friend to say things like that to you. She could be jealous of your success, unmotivated or competitive, hence, trying to sabotage your efforts. You've done well so far...lost 9lbs!! Soon it will become 19lbs lost, then 29lbs and so on. Keep up the good work and make sure you stay away from her for the time being if she's hurting your efforts rather than helping you move forward. There comes a time in life where you decide what is important to you? Your health or her toxic friendship? She can take the backseat for now. And, that pizza will catch up with her...it always does.

Have a wonderful OP day everyone :)

Way to go, pintobean! :cheer3:

30 minutes Elliptical
5 min's on the Stationary Bike. I don't like that much....
sit-ups

Awesome Roni :cb::cheer:

I could have sworn that I posted this morning. How strange :dizzy:

Anyway, my plan for today is do a step workout and some floorwork for my legs.

Wschick, I think you have gotten some great advice. Try to remind yourself that you are losing the weight in a safe and healthy way. When you reach your goal, think of how fit and toned you will be! Your friend won't be if she keeps eating pizza and not working out.

:cheer: Keep up the great work everyone. The minutes are really adding up! :cheer:

:cheer3:You all are doing great today, way to go !

Pinto and Narnia, thank you very much for the words of advice and motivation. I'm so happy that I found this awesome site with such wonderful people. You all truly are what motivates me ! I plan on talking to her a lot less for right now, I still want to be nice to her of course, so I can't totally ignore her (although sometimes I want to....lol) But I'll keep our conversations shorter in hopes that I don't have to hear the bragging lies. I don't get why she feels the need to do that, I definitely don't do that when I talk to her. In fact I don't even feel the need to tell her about every pound that I lose so why does she think she needs to tell me about all the ones she supposedly lost. Just trying to make herself feel better I suppose....LOL

Thank you gals so much, you're a great group of motivators !

Going to start my first session right now :)

Been doing average hour and a half of cardio every day since sept 7th.... tried picking up the pace on a challenging program on my treadmill but i hurt my one leg two days ago. Yesterday I continued doing it, but I decided I need to let it heal. I'm half limping around, it sucks. :(

today i did 2 sessions on the exercise bike.

:ebike: total minutes clocked in at 33 minutes.

also whilst on the bike i was listening to jillians podcast, and she was saying how when you are on a diet, calorie deficit and all that, a way to combat your body from slowing down your metabolism, is to exercise! as exercise releases fat burning hormones!

Just finished a Walk at Home DVD.
Did 3.1 miles :)

petfresh I hope you get to feeling better quickly ! Just make sure to relax and heal !

And Echo, glad you like the ticker. It was a great suggestion and it definitely motivates me, I may have to up my goal next week.

And hey Onederchic, hope you're having a great day !
