    I am interested in this group. I have been reading for a few weeks but not posting. I hope to come back with all my info but first I have to admit it to myself before I can post it here. (How sad is it to be embarassed around a bunch of ladies who are dealing with the same stuff I am) I will get my stats together and be back later to post!

    I really enjoy reading and I hope to stay motivated enough to come back daily!

    TIna you are always welcome :) Newme was gone and Svey and I notice there wasn't a posting that week so we took it upon ourselves to help her out and post. PSB will always be Newme's group but it gets to be much for one person when they have a life out side of MFP as shocking as that is. She has decided to take a break and between the three of us we will keep it going. Weigh in is still the same as before it was just off last week due to the late posting. We thought it would be fun and keep it more interesting if we included two types of challenges (one fitness and one food/nutrition/health) each week and you can do both or just one of them or none it is up to you. It was just a thought since we saw a drop off of participation and thought we would spicy it up a little. PSB will always be Newme's group but it gets to be much for one person when they have a life out side of MFP as shocking as that is. I hope that explains things.

    Jaime, you do not HAVE TO do anything that makes you uncomfortable. You are welcome to post your weight if you feel it will be motivaltional to watch your progress in this tread every week. We aren't going to ask you to leave if you don't want to do that. Feel free to drop in for any reason (weigh in, join our challenges, or just chat). The thread is supposed to be supportive and motivational. No one will force anything out of you.

    Except for Tina. I demand that she gets her azz in gear and posts more often. :laugh:

    Svey - Sorry I didn't mean to sound as if I would be pressured into doing anything - that isn't what I meant. What I meant was I know I am overweight and have been for awhile. I started a weightloss journey last year and in the first 3 months, I lost about 25lbs - well life got in the way and I let the excuses pile up next thing I know I am back here reading my old posts thinking I should be at me target weight, or at least VERY close, by now. I am embarassed only by my own actions - I am trying to pull my self back up and get on the wagon again. I appreciate this group and the mini challenges you set up for yourselves.

    I will post my stats in the morning as I just got home from a walk - TOTALS: 51 min; in zone (124-140) 16.22 min; 293 cal burn


    Tell you what it was kinda aggravating - I set out knowing I would walk at a brisk pace, so I did. I done this so I would get my hr up and burn more calories, at the end of the walk my husband says that was a nice leisure walk. I thought "you have got to be kidding me - I left you walking behind me so I could kick it up a notch and I was sweating and u tell me this was leisure." I don't even think he broke a sweat! UGH!!! (My husband, Mike, wasn't being mean or rude we actually stared the journey together last year and fell off together too. He started back about 4 weeks ago. He is working out right now as I type this post) The part that is so aggravating is how we can both pretty much walk the same pace and same distance and I am "working out" while to him it is "leisure". When we used to work out together I feel it was easier for him and so when he pushed it seemed he pushed harded than me and therefore had a much higher cal burn. I know men do that but still give a girl a break will ya :-) OK - I am off to read a book. I'll be back in the morning with my stats.

    BTW - Thanks for listening to me ramble on and on! :laugh:

    Jamie,
    I am right there with you. When I was just starting out I would go for a walk with a co-worker probably at about a 3mph rate and she would ***** that I was walking too slow. Ummmm excuse me but I am not miss marathoner like she is. When I would tell her that she would be like that isn't an excuse. Yes it is when I am 240 5'5 and she is 140 5'9 there is a slight difference in how fast we can walk and get our heart rates up. I also didn't feel like going back into the office all sweaty. We are now too busy at work to do our walks and its also to freaking hot at 3pm which is when we used to do it. Some people just don't get it.
