    Sorry guys no time for a myth today.

    Just got in a 6 mile run and need to get the kids fed, then get ready to get my daughter to her swim meet.

    I weighed in this morning and it is the same as last Saturday. No loss but have made gains physically this week.

    Hopefully sitting on my but all day today is not too bad since I got in a good run this morning, though my legs will probably be very stiff when I get up to leave from the meet.

    Have a great day!

    With the help of you guys, I have created my "mini-goals." Here they are...

    Starting weight, 1/1-- 157 lbs
    2/1 goal weight-- 152 lbs (reward: mani/pedi)
    3/1 goal weight-- 147 lbs (reward: new top)
    4/1 goal weight-- 142 lbs (reward: new "little black dress" to wear at my birthday party)
    5/1 goal weight-- 137 lbs (reward: swimsuit)
    6/1 goal weight-- 132 lbs, and then I will have to reassess my goals

    I set them up to lose 5 lbs/month like 55tolose said but realize that I will lose more some months and less other months. I am also rewarding myself with a weekend trip to visit friends in San Marcos (near Austin, I live in Houston) once I reach 150 lbs.

    My fitness goals are to exercise 3x a week. I will work my way through New Rules of Lifting for Women. I will also move around more throughout the week and get some good walking in on my off days.

    I posted my goals in a facebook note (you guys can add me if you want--- http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/amanda.s.butler) but without the numbers. My boyfriend's opinion on that was, "You better be careful with that. Now you HAVE to do it." ..... yep! That's the whole point!

    I hate when that happens. So frustrating! Whatever you do, don't let it kill your roll. You are doing great! Keep up the hard work, and I bet you see a huge loss next week.

    I'm in. I want to reach my goal weight of 140 by Mother's Day,

    My starting weight is:

    1-1-11 -- 162.

    Good luck everyone. :flowerforyou:

    1-8-11 -- 161.4

    1-15-11 --

    1-22-11 --

    1-29-11 --

    Well I did lose a few ounces so that counts. I'm at 161 now instead of 162. I'll take it. :happy: Great to see you all doing such a great job. Keep up the good work. Next week I plan to be at 160 at the most.

    WOOHOO!! I just noticed that few ounces lost made my ticker go down a pound. YAAAAY!!!:happy: :happy:

    Wow, you guys are making great progress! Keep it up!

    I hope I'm back to where I was at the end of November. I weighed in at a weird time and on a brand new scale, so I'm not sure how the latest number really relates to the previous numbers. I'm a little worried I'm losing muscle mass, since I haven't been doing anything but walking lately. However, this week I accidentally slid my size 8 jeans off without unbuttoning them. So I measured and found out that I lost another inch off my hips. :drinker:

    My new scale measures body fat %, muscle %, and hydration. I've never had my own scale before, let alone one that does all of that. It feels fancy.

    So, my '5k' turned into a 1.5miles walk/run..:frown: . appearently only those who signed up for the competitive run get to do the whole 5k, everyone else does the 1.5...I didn't find out until after reaching the 1.5mile marker when they said 'all walkers you are done, please go inside, all runners, men to the right, women to the left' :grumble: Gee thanks for being clear about this on the flyer that I got.. and let's face, everyone looks forward to those race day tee's..a trophy tee if you will..You guessed it, again, only the 'runners' get one. :grumble: Everyone else gets a reusable shopping bag promoting the place and has nothing to do with the 5k on it, not that I won't use it, but still. A little annoyed but it will pass. Just wished they were better organized. Now, cappuccino, cheese potatoes, and a fire for the night.:ohwell: I'm really looking forward to the 5k in March, because I KNOW it's an actual 5k :drinker: Enjoy your weekend all!!

    Sure sounds fancy! I want one! :laugh: Where and how much?

    Bru-
    Sorry to hear that your race was a let down, but I am so proud of you that you went and did that. I hope to cross that off my list one day and would enjoy hearing all about the next one. Cheers to the REAL 5k :drinker:

    My day was nice. Walked over to my mom's house with the kids for lunch and ended up making yummy fresh veggie, turkey, and noddle soup. We made a lot so I will have a ton for leftover meals next week and so will she. Plus it was nice to get the walk in, she is about 30 mins from my house walking but by pushing the 96 lb double stroller I get a good calorie burn. My brother (who lives a little over an hour away) dropped by her place also and that was a nice surprise to hang out together for the day. I had more soup for dinner and then walked home while the sun went down. It is only a bit after 8 and both my kids are clean fed and asleep. I might just get to bed early tonight and get the amount of sleep I should. :bigsmile: Wouldn't that be nice. I should drink some water due to all the sodium in the soup, but other than that I feel I did well today. Might just be a good weekend eating wise.

    Bru>> Boooooo! A bag is not as nice as a tee-shirt. I want a shirt too.

    Jenn>> I got it at Big K-Mart for $32. I had to ask the sales clerk because it was stashed in a weird location at the back of the store--not with the bathroom stuff at all but with baskets! Once I got it home, it took me 30 minutes to figure out how to program it and work it. But after trying it out a few times, I really like it. It has a glass top and feels sturdy. There was also a WeightWatchers one for $34 that I considered. But the WW one tells BMI, not muscle % along with the hydration and body fat. I want to track my muscle % too, so I got this other one.

    WOOHOO......I see the numbers going down! I'm learning, eating right, exercising what I am physically able to manage and the scale is beginning to move in the right direction.
