    I have lost 3.1 lbs this week. I am down 40 lbs since I started late september. I am so happy! I don't think I have ever lost that much weight ever! I'm still not committed at 100%. I hope next week will be it! I need to focus and get my butt in gear and move more.

    We can do this together! Thanks to you ladies for being there!

    OOO I got the EA active 2 game for xmas, its still in the box though :blushing:

    Is it any good, how are the fun levels? how are the getting sweaty feeling like you are going to die levels?
    Seriously, TAKE IT OUT THE BOX!! LOL

    I think it's good to get you moving. I'm on the medium intensity level since it's been some months since I've regularly worked out. I think that the medium is enough for now! With the 9 Week Challenge, the program will actually up how many reps and how intense the workout is as it's going off the fact that your endurance and strength should be building throughout the program. I'm only on workout 4 but I have felt the burn during the exercises and you do work up quite a bit of sweat! The HRM is also great because it more accurately measures how many calories you're burning.

    You can create groups on there as well. I'm part of a group of people from here as well as a group with my friends. I think it's good to see everyone's progress. It keeps me motivated.

    I will defo start this tomorrow, love the fact it has a HRM, half my exercise time on mfp because i'm scared its lying and will make me eat calories I don't have to spare lol

    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!!

    for those needing help with the meditation piece......I found a great podcast that you can download for free. its called themeditationpodcast.com I has a number of different guided meditations. I still haven't mastered staying awake for the whole thing but I am only able to do this at night. I've listened to 4 of the meditations and they are great!! Hope this helps, it did for me.

    I LOVE reading all your posts and all the progress that's being made, stick with it guys!

    This week I didn't lose a whole lot (only 0.4lb), BUT I got my eating back on track. I got waaayyy off with the holidays, so I am happy that I'm feeling the difference in my body again with eating better.

    As for my challenges...

    I got my mediation in, but not as much as I should have.

    I haven't had a soda all week!! Yay me! Normally I get the diet ones, so they don't have calories... but they still aren't great for your body. I haven't even been tempted. Hmm... I might have to think of another bad habit to cut out while it's going good... Along with this, I also had two days where I hit 6 glasses of water. That's a HUGE accomplishment for me. I'm normally at 3 or less... I guess I just don't have very much thirst or something... hmm.

    I didn't do my 30 day shred video, but I did start to get back on track with using my exercise bike. Every little bit counts I guess.

    This next week I'm going to try and make myself get started with that video, and see if I can go another week kickin' the bad habit... and working on improving my bad snacking habits.

    I shall try this too. I used to work in mental health and help a lady teach a meditation class, I never once stayed awake through the whole thing, and I was supposed to be helping teach loooool Apparently it really does take practice to do it right and not fall asleep.

    My challenges have gone ok, I ate breakfast most days and I never normally have it. I did a full week of just dance and met my target, it is just the meditation left, I only have any peace at night when my kids are in bed, I am bound to end up asleep, but will give it a go tonight.

    Told ya you would like it! I always start at medium intensity. I believe you can move it back if you want (just don't ask me how). Because the exercises are supposed to increase in intensity as you go, I knew better than to start on hard. And I haven't worked out in months prior so better to be safe than sorry. There is a group I'm a member of online (name is MFPPals; can't remember the PW though). I'll get it to you once I look at my messages.
