Oh Dear can you take it back Jess? he-he

[mocha74]

Hee Hee, I wish that everytime the scale said that I gained weight that I could take it back and make them give me a new one that would read my goal weight when I stood on it That would be pretty cool. I can just imagine how the convo would go:

Walking into Costco and approaching returns line~

Me: Excuse me but I would like to return this scale.

Costco Employee: Why?

Me: It say's that I weigh 166 pounds!

Costco Employee: So?

Me: Well I don't weigh 166 pounds. I would like a scale that reads 145 pounds when I stand on it.

Costco employee: Sure no problem. We'll get you your new scale right away.

Hee hee Yeah right!!!! It was fun to fantisize though

Everyone is doing so great!

Barb!

Don't worry Cathy today is a new day so you can start being OP as of today! I also was off plan this week. I only exercised once but hoping to go hiking this weekend so I can burn some calories.

Keep up the good work everyone

Congrats on losing the 1.5lbs Jess i only just spotted that this morning i've got to get back at the exercising too, strangely enough i miss it

[barbmarie]

I didn't do too well this week either Cat, better from the flu, and TOM. But, this is a new week. Just got done walking for 30, and actually JOURNALED for the first time in a while.
Great Job this week Mocha, your posts crack me up!
Sammy, you're an inspiration!

Hi Girls..i'm all gung-ho again walked/jogged 1 mile yesterday would have been more but i forget my water then i worked in the garden for 5 hours. I'm determined to be good for the remainder of the week

[mocha74]

Thanks for the congrats Cat. Hopefully I will lose more this week Good job on getting back on the wagon

Barb - I'm glad I can provide some laughter for you Sometimes I'm a little too sarcastic but hey I gues that's just how I am.

Don't worry about the half a pound. You're still doing really great. Look at the difference between the 5th and the 19th. That's an awesome loss

I bought a new pedometer off Ebay about a week ago and it is wayyyy off so I bought a new one from Kmart. Hopefully this one works well. I will test it when I do my 3 mile Walk Away the pounds video today.

Hope everyone is hanging in there and meeting there May goals!!!

[cat90]

how many miles was the pedometer you got from Ebay clocking up? Jess so, you are another WATP's user are you? two ladies on TPAAT are doing that too i have a treadmill so can't really justify buying the tapes plus i've got a batch of Pilates ones that i've got to break in

[mocha74]

Well the walk around the park that I go to is is about 2.8 Miles. When I went walking with my crappy Ebay pedometer it read .113 of a mile . At first I thought I put it on the wrong part of my pants or something, but then I did my WATP 3-mile walk and when the tape said that I had completed .5 mile of a walk I checked my pedometer and it read .012 of a mile. Then I put my mom's pedometer on for the rest of the tape and it was close because it said 2.7 instead of the 2.5 miles, which is about right because I alway's work at a higher intensity then the tape. So I tried my new KMART pedometer that is a lot cooler then the Ebay one because I program my weight and age in it and it tells you how many calories you burn, steps you've taken, and miles you've walked. It also has the time of day and a stop watch. NEWAY's I tried that one with the WATP and it was pretty much on target.

I like the WATP tapes, but they get kind of annoying after awhile. Usually I'll just have the tape running and do the steps to the music without watching it. There are only 4 steps so its not hard at all. I have the one with the 2 pound weights. Overall I think they are great tapes to lose weight to no matter what size you are. Especially since it has a 1, 2, and 3 mile tape and uses weights. I only use the 3 mile tape because the other ones don't feel like I'm doing anything. I recommend them to anyone who needs a push to lose weight. I'm thinking of buying the WATP with the resistance bands. I may check them out on EBAY, Half.com, or Craigslist.org (hopefully I won't get screwed over like my pedometer Actually I've alway's had good luck with Ebay until now ) .

I've never tried Pilates. Let me know what you think of the tapes and then maybe I will incorporate Pilates into my workout.

Hope everyone is doing well. I will weigh-in tomorrow!!! Hope there is a loss from last week.

[cat90]

Hi Ladies
Good Luck with the weigh-in Jess if i were to use the WATP's tapes it would be the one with the resistance bands too..i need to push myself a little harder to see results..a brisk walk won't do it i keep meaning to try the pilates tapes but i'm a TVholic when i'm working out i like to watch tv and i feel like the tapes are taking my tv time away from me

[cat90]

Congrats on the weightloss Jess i did the Pilates 20 minute tape yesterday and i really like it..the first time i was "hmm..don't know if i like this" because i could'nt keep up but yesterday i kept up and was able to do everything except the last exercise where i lost my balance i'm going to do it again this morning
