I'm doing it outside. Unfortunately, no treadmill (right now), and no money for a gym. I'm thinking about asking my mom if she wants to go in together to get a treadmill. It might take 6 months for us to save up together, but it would be great!
I know what you mean about the jigglies. My girls are, luckily or not depending on perspective , smaller in comparison to the other parts, so any bra really does the trick in keeping them in line. But my butt and thighs absolutely drive me insane. I feel like I'm going to fall over sometimes because I get out of balance. All the more reason to keep running, though! I figure that if I can run even a little bit, that'll do a ton more good than the same amount of walking. The faster I can get the jigglies reduced, theh better!
HM, sorry you lost your pedo... you will have a brand new one to go with your new sneakers!!
LOL Lydia, I am the opposite. If my butt was my biggest problem I would be doing great! I have small legs, small butt... but my stomach is a mess and "ladies" as you call them... yikes! There is no bra built that can hold these things up!! I was actually seriously considering surgery with my doctor's approval but have decided to try to beat off the weight instead as I do lose there.
Lena, thanks for the info... I think I will have the thread locked as soon as HM gets the new one up.
Good morning everyone-
I've got to dash off to work, but I wanted to let you know the Coast to Coast challenge thread is up and going. have a great day, I'll check back tonight.
LENA, I am glad that "you can walk for days" We'll need those miles to make it to Seattle, LOL.
Hey, if you guys do the Million More March, I'd like to come in. I am going to try to remember to get a pedometer this weekend so that I can start counting steps in April. Are you going to start a new thread or keep this one?
Dance: My weight is pretty evenly distributed, which is pretty good for me. It makes it seem like I weigh less than I actually do! When I told some close family members and friends how much I weighed, they were shocked! Even at my highest weight (180) I still fit into a size 12 jean and a medium shirt (most of the time). Unfortunately for me, I think my "girls" have been the thing to shrink the most since I lost weight. I was afraid of that, but at least I was prepared. I'm sure that once I get down to my goal weight, I'm going to be like my second oldest sister: flat as a fritter It's all good, though. Quality, not quantity, eh?
I logged 5,038 steps yesterday. Not a bad day, considering I did almost nothing . That brings my total up to 157,759. Today is another C25K day. Wish me luck!
I'm another who's fairly well distributed, neck to ankles. Even my doctor said I don't look like I weigh as much as I do. I have an odd hourglass (bust and butt, so I stick out front and back, not side to side). Pregnancy permanently stretched out my waistline (but it was sooooo worth it, so no complaints!).
I'm hoping it will come off evenly.
Hi there, Lala! Glad you're going to be joining up! This is going to be fun!
Great job on the steps yesterday, folks! I didn't *quite* squeak out enough to pass the 300K mark yesterday, but I'll definitely get it today. I pulled in 10,507 (Wednesday, March 22), for a total of 297,939.
Will post more later... just checking in briefly as I have Mongolian Grill takeout for dinner and it is calling my name LOL. I am envious of you evenly distributed people LOL. But at least I don't have the big problem of butt and thighs that is common. Actually I am told my weight distribution is typical for hypothryoid.
Hey I was afraid my ped was giving too high a reading so I counted 1000 steps... it was exact! I really am getting all those steps LOL... today it was 12,609. Wow Lydia you sure got a lot for so early!
Way to go, everyone! We'll make that Coast to Coast in no time! Are we starting with Saturday's steps (which I won't post til Sunday)?
Anyway.....my week has been a little slow, which seems crazy when I'M the only parent since Wed morning. My steps SHOULD be higher. Heaven knows I'm running around more! But I think what's happened is that I'm sitting more at school. I'm grading papers, testing classes or listening to presentations from them. Monday is the end of the term, so this all HAS to be done ASAP. Starting Tuesday, it will start to go back to my being up and moving more. I guess I just need to get up every once in a while and take a walk just to be moving (especially during my prep).
Thursday's numbers: 9108 steps
March total: 242436 steps
Hoping to hit 300,000 by the end of the month. I'm at 860398 for the year. I don't know if I can hit a million by Easter, but that's my goal. Guess I better kick it up a notch!
Great job, Michele! Yes I think we should post Friday's here and then close the thread... I will post our totals for all our steps and then how about if we consider this our "warmup" session for the cross country challenge LOL. Tonight I will post a notice here with a link over there... and then after the weekend (so everyone has a chance to see the total) I will email the moderators to see about closing the thread. But in the meantime put a big STOP message and link.
My total for yesterday was 9,330! Not only did I make it up to 167,089 for the challenge, I completed my 50-mile walking goal for March! I'm so excited
Wow, Lydia, you did fantastic! Congrats on hitting the 50 mile mark! Do you realize that is enough to cover the entire State of Rhode Island, north to south, with a few miles into Connecticut? Go, Lydia, go!
Michele, do you teach elementary school? How many students do you have? Your numbers are great! You'll definitely hit 300K for March if you keep up at this rate!
Don't you love it when you do an audit and have it come out just right, Dance? That has to make you feel so good that you're really, really racking up those steps and it's not just the ped playing tricks on you! You have done so well, and I'm so proud of you!
As for me, I got in 12,261 yesterday, Thursday, March 23. That brings my personal total for March 2006 to 201,091! I'm thrilled to have passed 200K -- aiming for 250 for the month!
My total contribution for March of the Chicks = 310,200! I'm so happy to have hit 300 before we closed the thread!
I think we are 100% ready to hit the big time! Let's go!
, smaller in comparison to the other parts, so any bra really does the trick in keeping them in line. But my butt and thighs absolutely drive me insane.

It's up, It's up
It's all good, though. Quality, not quantity, eh?
