Enygirl, I am so happy for you. The fact that you accomplished that in mid-winter is something to be so proud of. Where was the race at?

Anyway:

Enygirl- Soooo cool. Great pix

The scale still has 169. Have a great day.

Enygirl--Congrats again since I did that on the other thread. The ladies here are right...in the cold. Amazing! The cold always affects my breathing when walking or running.

Hi everyone! I'm Renee and I'm the shortest person in my family. =0( I cannot exercise for medical reasons but I goal is to get to 140.

Good luck to all!

Enygirl - you did great. Love the pic. You look so alive and proud.

Welcome crbowles!

cr- We're a fun bunch w/ lots of support!

Speaking of which - girls is anyone else really really struggling to stick with this? I'm down *almost* #20 and I feel myself slipping. This is the longest that I've stuck with anything - but right now it's so easy for me to talk myself out of a workout - or to go and endulge on something... I'm having a really hard time this last 2 weeks. I'm recognizing it - and trying to fix it. I did the 5K on Saturday - and Sunday i was WAY too tired to work out. I did a 20 min cardio last night. I need to get back to 1200-1500 cals a day, and 6 work outs a week. I guess that if I use Sunday as my rest day - and write of what I ate (didn't even calculate because I know it's tha tbad!) then I can start over as of yesterday.

I REALLY want to start hitting my goals - but it seems that I sabotage myself. Last week I was less then a pound away from my Super bowl goal - then i binged the rest of the week - didn't workout and now I'm #4+ away... it's stupid!!! GIRLS HELP ME FOCUS!!!!

Enygirl-
I feel your pain. It's gets hard, tonight I was trying to talk the DB into pizza
But I'm eating on plan with a big salad. It's hard but you're doing so great. I can't even imagine doing a 5k. Just keep moving ahead, baby steps.

Enygirl--I'm coming on the other side of it. I've been there when I've lost a ton of weight (130) and I slipped hard. Please do not pressure yourself to the point that you regain all of your weight. All of us need to slow down. I understand that we want to be healthy. Hello I need to lose 81 pounds to even be considered overweight. But slow and steady wins the race. I'm not saying give up, because never do that but give yourself a break. How about 5 days a week of exercise vs 6. 5 is okay, 4 is fine, and 3 is alright. You're doing it that's the point. Maintaining is okay. Sometimes I think we put so much pressure on ourselves that we make the situation worse. Slow down, take a breath, its okay. If you lose it fast you won't keep it off.

Regarding the bingeing. That's an issue I have myself. I'm currently working on a binge free challenge. Yesterday was my first binge free day. I'm working on my 2nd day now. The Shay Plan is actually working for me. I may only lose 1lb a week but as long as I'm losing. I'm not in a hurry.

Hello ladies,
Boy, it's so cold here. I've done okay this week with food but I still need to step up the exercise time.

Hey all,
Today is a snow day No school!!!!

Any exciting plans, Teacher1?

I will start a new thread in the morning for the month of February so be on the lookout for it.

No fun plans, I did turbo sculpt this morning. I want to run errands but I'm a big baby when it comes to driving in the snow.

Hi Ladies, I was watching a news show the other night and they were saying that here if you are a child under 4'9" then you have to ride in a booster seat in the car---- Does that mean if I lose another 2 inches that I will need a booster seat to Drive???

Hope everyone is doing fine. Just thought that I would pop in for a minute.
