    No, but pretty darn close. haha!

    Welcome
  • Woke up this morning with the scale saying 173.8 ...Hopefully tomorrow morning it will be even better
  • Hey guys!!

    Well I was lazy and didn't work out, but I am back on track and did pilates yesterday. It looks so easy but don't be fooled, my whole body is SORE!

    The scale read 145.8 Friday , but today it read 144.6

    I'm going to try to not weigh myself until Thanksgiving. I know I won't make my mini goal, but I at least want it to say 143.8....that's 10 lbs lost! Keeping my fingers crossed.

    Have a great Wednesday!
  • Thelittleflower: YEY for the weightloss & getting back to pilates. I was going to try that out after I got done with the 30DS. Do you do a video or go to a class?

    Welcome
    ALOHA!

    So nice to see other shorties hanging around.
  • JLNichols -- I just do a video on Netflix watch instantly. I don't have a car and did not feel like walking to the gym (snowing ) Netflix has a surprising variety of workout videos on their watch instantly as well as their mail dvds! I recommend it if you don't wanna buy the videos and need a good selection if you get bored by the same workouts!
  • Hey yhahmd........love your quote from Bon Jovi at your bottom

    I haven't been on in a while, but I've been doing pretty good. Still haven't weighed myself but I put a pair of jeans on this morning straight from the dryer and was able to zipper em up without laying on my bed lol
  • good morning from my side of the world!
    i lost 3 lbs when i weighed this morning... some progress finally!!! i am hoping to get out of 150's by this month (4 lbs to go...)

    i am on Day 12 of the 30 Day Shred... i see some ladies here are doing the same exercise. let's keep it up!!!
  • Got on the scale this morning and was down to 172.6, and can't wait to see 171 (I don't remember the last time I was 171). But hopefully I make it to my thanksgiving goal weight of 170!
  • brokengently -- high five on the 30 day shred. I got the dvd and absolutely hated it...it was just too much for me! I ended up selling it to Half Price Books lol!

    JLNichols -- woo hoo on the weight loss! It's always exciting when we see the scale moving in the direction we want. I'm rooting for ya to make it to your Thanksgiving mini goal!!

    I did well yesterday on my diet. I did not exercise yesterday because I went over to a friend's and by the time I got dropped off at home it was 9pm...gotta be in bed by 10pm to catch the bus in the morning and if I exercise right before bed I am pie-eyed awake BUT I am definitely going to do my Pilates video tonight (or go to the gym...haven't decided if I feel like walking there!)

    Ugh I knew I shouldn't have signed up for the gym. It's an 18 month commitment, only $25 a month, but when I signed up my boyfriend's car was fully functional and I thought I was going to be driving, not walking, when I wanted to go. Oh well, dem's da breaks. I can at least go on weekends if I don't feel like walking, but I feel like that's such a waste of $25 hehe. Why does Minnesota have to be so cold!??!?!?!?

    Have a good Thursday, shorties. It's almost FRIDAY!!!
  • ^I psych myself up everyday just to get through the Shred... just finished Day 13 (I did both levels 1 and 2 because I had the time...) I'm hoping it'll get me out of my 4-month plateau!!! I really want to get to 140s before this year ends! You better go to the gym and get your money's worth, girl! Walking in the cold burns 20% more calories (read that somewhere)!
  • thelittleflower-- I'm in a COLD location too, and my gym is about a 20 minute walk...it's not always pleasant, but you're burning extra calories on top of your workout. Go with it!!

    Jillian Michaels videos-- I've tried them before too, when I was in a slump, to mix things up a little. If you're in the right frame of mind, they can be really fun & effective. Keep it up girls!


    As for me... finally got my ticker/signature today 20 days on plan!!

    NSV this week: Went running with a serious runner-friend. I ran the longest distance I've ever gone in my WHOLE life: 7 miles! No walking!
    Working toward an 8k in Jan

    Have a fantastic day, shorties! Stay positive... we're gettin' there.
  • went to the gym last and asked if someone can measure me, but the girl who originally measured me wasn't there so the other girls didn't want to do it since each measures differently. I was a lil annoyed but understood. Woke up this morning to see that my TOM showed up so now i'm glad i didn't get measured last night lol, but my jeans feel great even tho TOM is here so thats a big plus.

    Question.......I stay at my boyfriends on the wkends and not close to my gym so was wondering your thoughts on a video I can do while i'm there

    TGIF SHORTIES!
