    Good evening everyone! What a difference a couple of days makes b/c I feel 10x better than I did yesterday and Saturday. I'm still not a 100% but did not have to spend the day in the bed some i'm grateful. A friend of mine let me borrow her Hip Hop Abs dvds because I was considering purchasing them so today I completed the Total Body Burn dvd. I'm going to check out a few more dvd before I make a decision.

    Jan 3: Goal- 160

    Well, it's a big loss. However, I pretty sure that the stomach flu is NOT the recommended way to lose weight! I started feeling sick Friday evening, and I'm still not quite up to par. All I ate Saturday and Sunday was chicken noodle soup. Today I had soup for lunch, and a regular dinner. So far so good! Hopefully I can keep at least half of my loss.

    I am so glad every is doing so well. I am having some issues. I'm working through most of them, I think. Stress is not my friend and weekends have been killing me. Too much sodium and not enough veggies. I know most people dread the holiday season, but that is when my schedule actually starts to slow down a bit (until February anyway!).

    Here's to good choices!:drinker:

    Ok...I am beginning to get discouraged and extremely frustrated. Four weeks on this plateau is really starting to take it's toll. I am thankful that I haven't gained anything back but GRRRRRRR! I have changed my routine, I have eaten my calories, I have not eaten all my calories, I have exercised in the morning and I have exercised at night. I'm truly at a loss as to what to do next. Patience was never one of my strong suits but I am REALLY trying to not get discouraged. At this rate I won't make my mini goal for the New Year.

    Good afternoon everyone! I'm am almost back to my normal self so I was able to rock out today's workout. Today I completed the Billy Blank's Cardio Bootcamp dvd from the Taebo series. I really like this workout because Billy has you using resistance bands while performing the kicks and punches and it gives you a great burn. We also did a lot of jumping rope, jumping jacks, push ups, sit ups, tricep kickbacks and dips. I may have to check out a few more of his dvds to see if he'll be my new trainer.

I am still however feeling GREAT! :bigsmile: Today I'm rockin the size 14 skinny jeans & a cute, cute, cute wrap around satin blouse that I bought about 3 years ago & couldn't even fit over my head! Its VERY fitted to my waist & everyone here at work has complimented me on it! YAY ME! My boss even said "Good morning Skinny Lady" to me! He SO made my morning first thing! :bigsmile: :blushing:

    Good afternoon all and Happy hump day! Today I completed another Billy Blank's workout. It's called Billy Blank's boot camp. It's similar to yesterday workout except it's longer and resistance bands are not used. I really worked up a sweat on that one.


    Kintegra: Way to rock those skinny jeans and wrap blouse.....sounds really nice. Compliments are definitely the best....they keep me motivated....lol.....Great job and please keep it up.

    No offense meant to you at all, but I don't understand the sizing of jeans!! I'm in the 150s and I'm in a size 14. I think it must be due to my belly which I'm not happy with at all. I've started doing some sit-ups but I seriously need to tone that area. It's so cool when people start to notice!! Good luck to you!!

    Hi, my DD had hip surgery last spring and her rehab exercises took her from a size 14 to a size 8 all while she gained 2 pounds. They are really easy core/ab exercises. If you want me to sent them to you, pm me. We call them GutNBut and many here have had success with them including me. Since they are for post surgery patients they are designed to be done slowly and no impact.

    I think its bone size. I was in a size 14 all thru college & weighed between 160-165. I'm pretty sure that I won't get in a smaller size jeans, even after I lose to my goal - another 50 lbs. My mother weighs around 165 now & is in a size 16 jeans. :ohwell:

    I hear ya! Of course, everyone is built differently and stores fat in different spots.. but still, it's a pain! You may want to get 30 day shred a shot, it's a dvd at Walmart for $9. I'm not trying to gloat or force anyone to get it and I know everyone's resuls will vary, but I did it for 16day straight and I lost 9in in total. That's measuring neck, arms, chest, waist, belly button, belly 'pooch', hips, thighs and calves. I measured the day I started, and the day 15. I've since slacked on it due to real life problems, but I plan to pick it back up soon and finish off my last 2weeks and measure again.

    Jan 3: Goal- 140

    Hi Everyone!

    Haven't been around much due to technical problems for the past week and a half. Monday I decided to just close my account and start over. So I have a new name now. I've been busy re-entering all my foods and exercises. :grumble:

    Im happy to see a loss. I haven't had a food diary and I've been very frustrated and discouraged lately.

    Hang in there everyone. It gets tough for all of us once in awhile. Its nice to know you can come to this site for support isn't it?
    Stay strong this weekend with the Halloween candy bowls sitting in front of you.

    See you all next week!
