    I just really feel like I'm slacking when I look at what my start weight was in September! It sucks that I had the gain from the cruise, but I really wish I was closer to hitting ONEderland! I worked out every single night at the gym last week & Sat morning too...I helped CJ clean the garage Sat night and helped him move for 14 hours yesterday. I know I had way to much sodium & not enough water yesterday (plus 2 beers Sat night) so hopefully if I flush it out today & tomorrow I will have a better weigh in. I'm just really wanting to get out of the 200s. :ohwell:

    CONGRATS MARIE ON HITTING 30 LBS LOST! :bigsmile:

    Good afternoon everyone! My arthritis continues to bother my lower back and right knee so I will be taking it easy this week. Today I completed the Burn It Off dvd from the Chalean Extreme program.


    Congratulations to all who continue to lose weight. Keep up the great work!

    Good afternoon everyone the long weekend is about to begin. Since the arthritis was still bothering me I kept the workout light. Today I completed the Cardio X dvd from the P90X program.

    Remember what you are thankful for, be it family or health or the new lifestyle. Indulging a bit or even a lot for one holiday dinner is not the end of the world. So please don't stress about the small things and remember to think of what you are thankful for!! Celebrate and enjoy your family and friends and your healthy life!!

    Happy Thanksgiving my MFP pals. Today has been a great day. It began with me completing the Fat Blaster dvd from the Turbo Jam series and then eating a nice hardy bowl of oatmeal with a banana. I then got dressed and headed to the volunteer program. I was assigned to the clothing center which is set up like a little department store and I was responsible for escorting clients in and helping them select items of clothing. I also assisted with folding and hanging up clothes. Everyone was in great spirits and I am so glad I decided to spend my Thanksgiving day giving back. It was very rewarding.

    Marie: Thank you very much for the well wishes. I don't know why my arthritis has been bothering me so much but I hope it improves soon. Hope you're having better success with your arthritis and back problems than I am.

    Good morning all! I hope this post finds my MFP friends in good health and spirits. My previous boot camp instructor is offering a free, Saturday, boot camp session until the end of the year so I decided to partake in it today.

    Today's circuit consisted of twisting mountain climbers, squat & overhead press, burpees w/a jump, pulsating squats while holding 20 lb weight, jumping rope, push ups, jumping squats w/a step, pulsating lunges, high knees, inchworms, jumping jacks and bicycles. We did each circuit until the trainer blew the whistle and then we moved on to the next. I believe each circuit was a minute. We did this twice and then we competed in team relays that consisted of walking side squats, jumping jacks, skiers and high knees.

    I had a great time and it made me realize how much I like and miss the group boot camps. I'm really considering joining for at least a month in order to jump start my workouts again

    I am sooo psyched that I was able to maintain during the holiday. I ate things I shouldn't have but did get some exercise in during the week because I am still doing the Burn 3,500 Calorie Challenge. It was certainly a motivator to keep up the exercise. I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving!

    To those of you who are in the hospital, recovering from surgery or suffering with pain - Much love to you and I admire you so much for continuing to fight this battle! Hang in there and feel better soon!!

    Today was a very busy day so I was only able to get in a quick workout. I completed one mile of the Fat Burning Walk dvd by Leslie Sansone.

    Jan 3: Goal- 160

    I apologize for being MIA. I'm not really sure where November has gone. Last I knew I had several weeks until my daughter's birthday, and now it's come and gone! In short: work has been crazy, life has been crazy, family has been crazy. A few pertinent details:
    My older sister is due to have baby #2 in less than 2 weeks. A couple weeks ago her MIL passed away (she had been undergoing chemo for lung and bone cancer). My younger sister and I went down to her place to watch her son and help get some things ready for the baby since nothing had been done due to the illness of her MIL.
    My DD just turned 6 last week. We went to an indoor waterpark to celebrate. Following Thanksgiving dinner we ate out for the rest of the weekend because of this. (My DH referred to the weekend as a "nutritional disaster" and that is MORE than correct!)
    My younger sister got engaged over the weekend. He's a great guy, but he has 3 kids from 2 previous marriages, and some custody issues from the last one still haven't been resolved.

    That's about it besides all the stuff I've been doing with work. Christmas season always gets crazy in the music department between pep band at basketball games, Holiday parades, concerts, parties, dinners, extra performances for civic groups, etc etc etc. Even with all of that, I WILL get back on the wagon and start eating better. My first step is today. Feel free to check my log, and if I haven't enterred any food shoot me a harrassing message. It's ok, I'll appreciate it eventually!:wink:

    I am glad to read that so many have continued to lose. For the ones who are "stuck" my advice is to change up one thing, be it eating or exercise, but change up one thing for several weeks and see what happens.
