Yvonne - congrats on the 2lbs

Kim - I just got my stationary bike yesterday and used it for the first time...I did 20mins and 4.1 miles...i love it ..It has 4 differant built-in progarms but i do have to say that its alittle hard on the rear-end...What does kms stand for and how long have you been using your bike

hope everyone is doing great.

Good for you on using your bike.

KMS are kilometers....we use metric.

Hope you all have a great day

Thanks Kim & DG, I'm hoping to behave myself this weekend too and put my elliptical machine to good use.
DH and I are going for a hike through the woods if the weather stays nice. So that will be a nice change from working out inside.
Hope you all have a great weekend,I won't be back until Mon.

Hi everyone,

Well today is my weigh-in (i do it myself so I'm not sure how accurate it is) scales says I'm down 10 pounds. So excited but I'll believe it next week if it still agrees, as I'm joining Curves and I know they have a good scale there.

Donna - good luck on your weigh-in today
Have a great day everyone

Dawn

well today I weighed in and only lost 1lb...not where I wanted to be....I just started exercising this week by riding my stationary bike so maybe it's also cause I'm building muscle in my legs...i can only hope..I do feel like my clothes are not as tight...

Dawn great job on the 10lbs....you are almost at your jan goal..no doubt you will hit it before end of the month..

what is everyone's goals this week...mine are
1.keep drinking 60+oz of water
2.eat between 1200-1400 caolries
3.eat more fruit, vegies & protein
4.exercise at least 6 days this week
5.add a little weights toning..

DG, It was great but, a little cooler than I had hoped for. We're planning on going again this weekend.
I'm having the same problem with the scale not moving that much,I think you're right that it's just muscle building up because my clothes are getting loose too.
Keep up the good work ladies talk to you soon.

Goals for the week:

Keep drinking my water
Keep on with the exercise..walking 2 miles per day
Try not to eat after 8pm at night
Actually stick to my points and not overeat

Hi Everyone,

I know I'm a little late, but would you mind if I joined you?

Had my parents staying for a whole month, since 12 Dec, and they went home yesterday, which was when I started my new life! I weighed in and was pleased to discover that I was 2.5lbs down since when they arrived, so can't complain about that ... although I have absolutely no idea how I managed it!

A bit about myself ... I've been lurking on this site for ... well, let's just say quite some time!! I've yo-yo'd for many years and I'm sick and tired of looking and feeling the way I do ... it's time to take some serious action. I'm 43, married with two teenagers aged 17 (boy) & 13 (girl). I'm counting calories ... writing EVERYTHING down! And plan to start walking regularly ... I haven't exercised for a long time and really need to get into shape! My husband is very fit and goes on regular long strenuous hikes, and I would love to be able to join him, but right now our fitness levels are so far apart that I simply can't keep up with him ... he's in training right now for a 50k charity hike at the end of February, but once he's finished training we'll be able to go on easier hikes together, which I'm looking forward to. Until then I plan to start walking by myself more regularly (with the dog!) to get a head start.

Hope you don't mind me joining in ... I look forward to being a part of your group

Welcome to the group Nichola.

Good morning Ladies, Sorry I haven't been around much..My son started daycare this week and it's been a little rough on me.
I weighed in last night and I'm a little confused on how much I've lost because I tried the scale at my house and my parents house and they read diffrent. I checked both to make sure they were accurate (with a 8 pound weight) and they were. One said 6 pounds the other said one (kinda weird huh) so I'm sticking with the low number for now..Down one pound woo-hoo!
Got to go jogging on the beach last night. Didn't make it very far but(half mile), DH went with me so it was nice.
How are you girls doing with your week? Anyone have good news to report?

Well, I only started on Monday, but I'm pleased to say that I've had a pretty good week Managed to stay well within my daily calorie allowance and even have a quite a few saved up for the weekend ahead. I wouldn't be able to keep going if I felt deprived, but if I can have a few glasses of wine and something nice to eat over the weekend (within reason of course!), then hopefully I'll manage to succeed this time.
