Good luck Karen! Keep the forum informed.

Good job on making it into the gym Hpyhikn! It's always awkward to see the tiny girls bending over the arm machine, as if that's really necessary

I always concentrate on the fact that no one notices the big girls, it's like we're invisible. Which to be honest doesn't really make me feel any better about it! Just think, at the end of the challenge you could be the girl flipping her hair while stretching by a treadmill

Count me in, too! This is my first goal/challenge here, and I am SO up for it! My weight loss will be very slow due to thyroid issues. I'll weigh in on Tuesdays and report back!

whoooo hoooo ! Lets go girls great group going here.
I got up today headed to the fitness center about 9:30 walked a mile on the treadmill then did some swimming exercises in the pool. finished off in the hot tub. which feels fantastic since i have to head back out in below zero temps. This winter has been so cold here.
I dont know if i told anyone but i am recovering from spinal fusion surgery and it feels so good to be able to walk again ! without Pain and numbness. !

Have a great day everyone ! Ladysheets

I'd like to join the challenge! I just joined the 4th of July challenge but I'd like to do this one to. I'd like to lose 25lbs.

Yay Tontus!

I have been Zumba-ing my butt off (I hope). This is a good motivator.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

hpyhkin - I agree about the gym though. Some gyms are less about working out and more about flaunting it. I actually haven't had the courage to step foot in a gym for 10 years (other than those small fitness rooms at hotels when traveling that no one is ever in lol). And even then I joined when I was already at my thinnest, go figure! I like to move my butt around in the comfort of my own home...until that butt gets a little smaller anyway But kudos to you and everyone else. It makes no difference where you workout, or how....but that you just do it and to the best of your ability.

Hope you all are having a great day and staying motivated. I am really stressed at work so far this week and the scale is showing it. I am going to try some Tai Chi tonight before Biggest Loser. Get my relax on.

I am not ready for the gym yet but would love to take a Zumba class in the near future! I have been Sweatin to the oldies. Richard is so fun and motivating. What's been working for me is to get up and put on my workout clothes, get the kids off to school and then I start sweatin'! It's so nice to have it done with and I don't have to worry about exercising the rest of the day. I think it helps keep my eating in check too. Don't want to be working out for nothing

Exercise does keep the eating in check! And it makes me happy!

Some gyms are terrible places re: flaunting and stuff. I love my YMCA. No one cares what anyone looks like. It is all about feeling better through moving a bit more. Have you tried a Y?

Good for you, Ladysheets! I hope your recovery goes well. Glad to hear you are without pain and numbness. Hot tub sounds soooooo nice right now!

I'm in! I love a good challenge!
