Good morning everyone welcome Kizzy and MayLan
It's funny Kizzy we have the s0me of the same goals and I too have been saying it for the last few seasons that at the finale I want to be at goal and hands down my plan is to make this my season as wellI want to be at goal for the finale this season for sure!! I am tired of saying it My highest weight was 186 back in 2005 and I so want to post the pic that got me and my hubby focused on losing this weight but for now I have to keep working to reach my goal first because it will not get posted til then!! :-)
This weekend has been rough I have been dealing with Sinus issues and a cold I still managed to get some energy to workout on Sunday but Saturday had me really down so much I went to the ER but everything is fine now taking the meds and trying to bounce back slowly!!0 -
I was going to skip my lunch workout b/c I was feeling upset about something, but talked myself into going and it definitely made me feel better. Funny thing is I forgot to bring a sports bra and socks, so I workout with a bra under my shirt and no socks- just sneakers. Go figure! I'm learning not to use food as a means when I feel upset or down- I mean there are other ways to de-stress like having a good workout.
Well, back to work for me. Have a great day all!0 -
Maylan: welcome back,
A lot of us would have just left without exerciseing when we found out we were missing items..WAY TO GO!! no excuses. I can learn alot from you. I'm an emotional eater. If I'm upset I tend to make excuses not to go workout.
Kizzy: welocme glad to have you. :flowerforyou:
Cnbethea: Hope your feeing better now. Except old age aches and pains the only illnesses I have are sinus problems. I hate it .It makes my whole face ache. Will ruin a good day for sure.
Sundinsgurl::flowerforyou: Hope you had a great day.
I've been doing fair. Enjoying this cool weather:bigsmile: I am going to my aqua class tonight. YEAH!!
That is a good start to the week. If nothing comes up I'm be going 4x this week.
I0 -
raindancer - 4x this week would be awesome!!!!
welcome MayLan - I completed the 30 day shred frm mid July to mid August. I had to take some break days (mostly on weekends) but I got through it!!! Great job on completing day #1! Thats awesome that you didnt let a small thing stop you from working out. And extra great job on deciding to work out instead of eating from being upset. Very smart choice!!!
cnbethea - sorry to hear about your sinus's! I am glad to hear that everything is ok - your kickin butt anyways - way to go on the loss this week
:)
Kizzy welcome!!!!!!!!!!
I too would love to be at my goal weight by the finale of Biggest Loser - these last 10--15 lbs wil be the toughest but I am NOT giving up!!!! Today was my first day of extra hours - so I woedk 7:15-9, hit the gym right away did Week 9 Day #1 of COuch to 5K - I am now up to 30 mins running non stop. Plus a 5 min warm up and cool down. Came home showered and had to be back at work for 11:30-2:30.. did a few errands than back to work 3-6! Did Ab Ripper X with the b.f soon as I got home and now dinner is cooking!! Sooo hungry!! Had horrible eating choices this weekend but I am not letting it interfere I am right back at it this week!!0 -
Did 35 minutes on the gym bike and feeling good today.0
-
Congrats MayLan that's awesome getting in 35min on the bike keep it up!!
I am feeling better I can breath YAY but I am rather sluggish about to go workout and see if that will help perk me up!!
Raindancer that's awesome 4x at aqua class!!
Sundinsgurl let's do it girl I have more than you to lose but I am going to push hard to make it happen!!0 -
Had a veryyyy long day today.. work, staff meeting, more work, work, gym for a total body conditioing than finally home 13 hrs later!!
The class was one hour, and I also did 10 mins of the eliptical before the class. Finally eating dinner - homemade mini pizzas and watching Biggest Loser!! So it means another week has passed and weve worked hard so lets hope to getting to our finale goal!!0 -
I didn't make it to aqua last night. Had a real pounding headache. I just went home, laid on the couch and watched the biggest loser. I liked most of last night show. I kept yelling for that one guy to wipe his nose.:laugh:0

SW: 178
CW: 183.2 :explode:0 -
Kizzy: <<HUG>> Just a little setback. Next weight in will be better. Just keep going.:flowerforyou:0

I just order me a Fitbit. It's a cross between Pedometer and a sleepometer and much more.
Check it out at fitbit.com
What I read on the website I don't think I will be disappointed.0 -
Just got back from my lunch workout and did 30 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes on the treadmill for a 466 calorie burn. I'm still working on getting up early to do a workout and am happy to finally be back home from travelling and eating home cooked meals. Don't get me wrong I love eating out, but after a while all those calorie heavy meals get old on me. I look for salads and even they are packed with high calories. I know Unos lowest calorie salad has 800 calories. On the last day of my trip I was happy to stop by a Whole Foods and we picked up a meal for us in the hot meal section, and we just ate on the bed and watched tv- since we don't get to do that at home. Lovely night- and picked up my greek yogurt with honey.
I also realized that losing weight for me without a support system gets more difficult. I just get on here and I see how all motivated all of you are, and that's inspiring.
Oh yeah, feels great to be back on track!0 -
last week i did just 60 mins of walking daily...this week i'm doing both walking and workout vids0
-
Kizzy_me - dont worry about the gain.. your working out so you are probably gaining muscle. It could also be an increase in water retention? Either way dont give up!!! Your doing great - especially now adding those work out vids!
MayLan - welcome back from your traveling! I would have to agree with you that eating out can be fun - but after one or two times I am like Ok give me a home cooked meal!! The portions are so large and its easier said than done to pack up half right away lol Either way your back now and you'll do great
raindancer - I too watched Biggest Loser!! Love the twist at the end there of their being 8 ppl below the line and than the contestants having to fight to make it above the line. That guys nose was GROSS!!! I cant believe that one guy lost 41 pounds already!!
Got in a run today - 30 mins straight, than did Ab Ripper X when I got home from work this evening. It is a killer workout!!! I have to take many breaks lol but in time as I stick with it it should only get easier, it better and I better end up with wicked abs lol0 -
Sundinsgurl: Ab ripperX...WOW!! You go girl:bigsmile: Have you got hooked on running? Everyone I know that starts running loves it. I biked when i was young but never tried running.
Kizzy: good job with the walking..what dvds are you going to use?
Maylan: I can't do this without the support I receive here either.
Cnbethea: :flowerforyou: Hope your are well?
I made it to aqua last night, and plan to go tonight. I'm staying within my calories, so all is good with me.
I plan to weigh in Tuesday. Wish me luck!:happy:0 -
Hey all,
Had a staff meeting this morning with refreshments and breakfast. I didn't have breakfast at home and had room to have breakfast in the meeting. Then went to the gym at lunch time and did 35 minutes in the gym bike for a 300 calorie burn. I can already see all the bloating gone from the trip last week.0 -
i will be doing the 30 day slimdown program with jillian michaels starting tomorrow0
-
Hey I am here feeling better throat still a little scratchy but much better than before!! I am still on the mission of being an insanity grad and tomm I will start 30 day shred again trying to slim as possible before the Marine Corp ball a little mini goal and on to the big goal biggest loser finale which I was trying to get tickets too online but no luck Do anyone know how that works?
Kizzy I hear the 30day slim down program is good! One of my MFP friends is doing a challenge that involves all 4 of the biggest loser main videos I didn't get them all in my Wal-mart so I am just doing the shred
Awesomse MayLan getting back on the grind after your trip!
Raindancer you are on it great job!!0 -
Raindancer – yes I am addicted to running lol Its something that I will definetely keep up! Hopefully one day I’ll be able to run a marathon. Good luck with your weigh in on Tuesday – and way to go on getting to aquafit.
MayLan – that’s great news that you can already see the bloating gone from the last trip. I am feeling a bit bloated myself today from all the ju jubes I ate last nite
Kizzy_mus – is the slimdown program different than the 30 day shred?
Cnbethea – so your doing the shred again?> and insanity at the same time! U are INSANE :P jkkk I haven’t a clue how to get tix to the finale but if u find out please let us know. Congratz on your weight loss this week I knew you would see a smaller number on the scale because you have been doing so great.
I am waiting till next week to weigh in because I like to have 2 weeks between weigh ins. Plus my bday is Oct 11th and that is when I want to be at 135 so I will try Oct 8th and see where I am. Yesterday was a rest day and it was a killer!!! I hate resting lol but I know its important to have one of those in between working out. Today I went to the gym in between shifts (I only have 40-45 mins at the gym now because I have to shower and get to my other work. I was going to do my final run of C25K but than the instructor from the total body conditioning class saw me and I told him I wasn’t coming and he told me to come for half the class and he said believe me you will be tired after the first half. So I did, and Oh man, was he ever right!!! He worked us hard – I was drenched with sweat when I was done. So on the positive side I feel I burned a lot more calories in that class that my run would have been. So my run might have to wait till Monday if I cant get to it this weekend. Hoping to try one or 2 new classes with my roommate tomorrow at the gym – a step class or a cross training class.
Wishing everyone a successful and fun weekend!!!0 -
Just a quick flyby! Crazy here today. I'm leaving early today so I have to get a lot done.
Everyone have a great day.
Thank ya'll for all the love and support.
Love you guys

Sundinsgurl that insanity and shred together was short lived LOL I am only doing the shred and some cardio classes at the YMCA really want to see what the shred will do all alone I don't know if I am scared by people comments about the 2nd month of the shred or what but for some reason I keep getting stuck in the 1st mnth then stop I promise myself I will be a grad one day for sure I am going to start again on Nov. 1st yes I know but hey as long as I keep going I will never quit!! It will happen for sure that time around time to move on from here I will be finishing on Jan 2nd way to bring in the New Year New me!!!!
Kizzy I love the fact that you have your mnth all layed out look like a great month ahead make it happen woot woot!!

Hit the gym yesterday and did a 30 min run plus my 5 min warm up and cool down.. today I went and did 35 on the eliptical.

Time pending of course because I have to be out of the gym by 10 in order to get home shower and make it to work on time0 -

Checking in again today.. not feeling well....I am feeling a cold coming along.. stuffy nose, runny nose, my head has been hurting, ive been sneezing. I felt it this morning and its only gotten worse through out the day. My plan is to go to the gym tomorrow, hoping that it will make me feel better after I get moving. However if I am feeling really crappy and tired I will go home and get an extra hour of sleep.0

Sundinsgurl Insanity is a 63 day high intense cardio workout in month 1 the videos range anywhere from 31-45min and then you have a week of recovery then into month two and the videos then range from 51min - 70min it's a combo of abs strength and cardio with the main focus on cardio and a lot of plyometrics and things of that nature so your basically jumping, squatting, jogging and much much more you name you do it LOL
I think you are totally cut out for it and would do great!!! I don't know if you want one brand new or not but I know for sure when I finish mines on Jan 2nd I will be selling it or if you want to get one and start with me on Nov 1st that would be great also!!
I already calculated and if I start on the 1st of Nov once and for all it will be finish me on Jan 2nd really put me in the mindset New Year New Me like I have been saying all along and I actually think the biggest loser finale is the 4th if so that would be totally awesome timing anyway just a thought hope this help give you an idea of the program!!0 -
Wow. that sounds like a great idea!! Awesome how you calculated which day you would be done on - I like the idea of Jan 2nd for the new year, and even better if the finale of biggest loser is right after that. I think it is the challenge I need.. I was wondering what I could do next. Even though I am loving running - I will still try to find time to get it in - and I love my gym membership.
Hmm I wonder if I could still go to the gym after my morning shift for 30 mins.. than did the insanity at night. Insanity alone sounds insane lol I will have to think about it!
How many videos is it??
I hit the gym today - did a 30 min run - I watched the distance and got 2.63 miles and 5km is 3.1 miles. And that was after 31 mins.. It was 9:57 so I had to do a cool down and leave the gym by 10 so I couldnt go longer. I really want that 5K its just so hard to squeeze it in in such a short time0 -
today since it's my day off from work i'm going to catch up on some jillian michaels 30 day slim down i missed such as yesterday the no more trouble zones x 2 pretty much i want to make this day a last chance workout...ONE OF THEM...LOL0
