With the bit of gain from being sick last weekend it'll be nice to see that number back on track! Congrats to everyone who has made their goal and to those that are still working - KEEP IT UP, YOU ALL ARE AMAZING!

Only 20 minutes of workout so far, but I'm going to go do some yoga when I get off here.

I'm back and jumping into this week a little late, but I'm going for 250 min of exercise. I'm up to 100 min so far, but I need to jumpstart back into working out and eating well (which has gone surprisingly well so far lol).

Beth
Glad you're back and up to the challenge!!

Hope you had fun!!

missdeehere

I have met my goal: I am at 155/150 for exercise, and will go over for sure. I am going camping Friday through Tuesday, so you may not hear from me again before Wednesday. I am back in for next week, and will tell you my goal when I return. Have a great weekend, and happy St. Patrick's day!!

WOW MARY!! GOOD FOR YOU!! :drinker:

hAVE FUN CAMPING!! i AM VERY JEALOUS!!

missdeehere

There are a lot of Dee's here! LOL :laugh:

Waving HELLO to everyone!! Hope it's going good.

I am looking at a lot of your Food Diaries and am proud of you guys!! Keep it up!!



I am having a rough week getting my exercise in. I only have 70/120 minutes so far.
I CAN do it in two days but I can't be slacking!!


Been a rough work week and a lot of time working at the computer. sigh

Goodnight all...........

crazyquilter36

I still have the weekend so I am sure I will make my goal. Great job everyone!

newdaydawning79

I MADE MY GOAL!!! :laugh:

I'm a very happy girl today, and to celebrate, I'm going to treat myself to a night of relaxing and doing *nothing* that I don't want to do! I've been struggling with insomnia this week (I'll blame stress for now) so a night to do nothing but veg sounds like just what I need.

to all!

SuzMac1981

Laura - WAY TO GO!!!!
DeeH - You can do it!!!
MissDee - Awwww, thank you so much! I appreciate all of YOU too! :blushing:
Quilter (I don't know your name yet) - You can do it!!!!
Dawning (I don't know your name yet either) - I knew you could do it!!! Enjoy your night off! You deserve it!

Well, I went for an after dinner walk last night and lost my pedometer along the way. That was one of the tools in my work's competition/challenge and it was keeping me in check. I didn't find it this morning so I emailed the HR dept and sure enough, they have extras! Thank goodness! I like knowing how many steps I've walked in a day, lol.

I was up for some reason at 5:25 this morning and instead of just lying in bed til my alarm went off, I went downstairs and did Leslie Sansone's 1 mile Walk at Home program. There's 20 minutes added to the total! I will do some Wii dancing tonight for some more exercise and add to the total.

Have a great Friday!

It was so nice here in Missouri the kids wanted to play on playground so I got to spend most of the evenings daylight pushing them on the swings and watching them on the slides. They had a blast.

OK, so I have been watching sugar, watching it stay high. I'm more aware of how much I'm eating, and where I can try and cut back, so though I will fall short on my goal this week, I feel like this week will still be a success.
Hope everyone is doing well!

SuzMac1981

I added a 15 minute walk at lunch! It's gorgeous here in Boston!

KrisPage

Adding 35mins today walked/jogged 2 miles over lunch.
Not sure I am going to acheive goal again this week. I have plans out of town over the weekend not sure I can get another hour in we'll see.

Friday update:
71 mins for a total of 350/250. I know what I am setting my goals for next week.
Under cal goal.
Thats all the workout till sunday night. I work two 12hr shifts back to back and that leaves little to no time to work out. Thank God where I work i have LONG hallways to walk up and down. Too bad I don't count that as exercise though.

Have a good weekend all. Will check in on Sunday. Will try to tomorrow but no promises.

You know, I gained 20 pounds in like six weeks and why is it talking me 6 months to lose it????? grrrrrrrrr

BUT on a good note, it's working much better since I joined MFP!!


Thank you all for supporting each other!!

:drinker: YOU GUY's ROCK!!:drinker:

@Suzanne - my name is Angela, most people call me Ang.

Sounds like people are doing AMAZING this week! Woohoo! I think I might actually go out and go for a jog tomorrow. Me, jogging...I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS!!!!!

SuzMac1981

Grandee - YOU ARE ROCKING IT!!!! I'm with Dee, how long did it take you to lose the 65 lbs? I'd love to be able to walk 2 miles a day but I can barely get in 1 mile every other day. With time I will get there!

Ang - GREAT JOB! JOGGING!!! That will be phenomenal! Good luck! :happy:

SuzMac1981

Okay so I did a grand total of 55 minutes of exercise yesteday! Added to my 75 = 130.... only 20 minutes of exercise today to reach my goal (but since it's Saturday I might do a little more since I have more time!)

I can't wait to see everyone's numbers tomorrow!

deeharley

Friday check-in:

Under calorie goal - by a lot: was hoping to get closer to goal, but ran out of time to eat.

Exercise - 25 minutes 30 Day Shred, and an hour of housekeeping. I actually do about three hours worth at work, but I count an hour of it as exercise.


Checked out just this page on this challenge, GREAT JOB everyone!

newdaydawning79

Okay so I didn't get to the jog. I slept in way too much then had to run errands. Got a great deal on boneless center-cut pork chops and dug through them to find the ones with the least fat possible...the less trimming I have to do the better!! LOL

On the GREAT news front...I joined a gym today! They're not opening until the end of April or the beginning of May but this place is SO WORTH IT. It's called Planet Fitness and if you haven't heard of it, I seriously encourage you to look it up online. The whole place centers around a 'Judgment Free Zone' - meaning, people of all shapes and sizes are welcome and anyone that's doing anything to discourage other people will be asked to leave. We had one in Syracuse, NY, when we lived there and I absolutely loved it..and now we're getting one in Lansing! We were driving through the parking lot of a shopping center (going to Hobby Lobby) and there was a small sign outside the construction stating what was going in. We ended up signing up right then and there! I'm so excited, it's ridiculous. Free personal training, tanning and massage included, and they'll even have 2 circuits - one just for abs and one that's more like Curves.

This just made my day! Now to stay focused and keep working on the exercise at home for the next month! Woohoo!!

SuzMac1981

DeeH, great work!

Ang, excellent!!! I'd like to join a gym when I shed 50+ pounds. Even then I won't feel comfortable... plus gyms with babysitting services are expensive. I am a single mom and no one lives near me to help me out. So unfortunately my only option is a gym with babysitting! I'll just keep walking and playing my Wii and burning the calories that way... but I am so happy and excited for you!!! I've heard good things about Planet Fitness!!! My friends are members there!

I need some help - I HATE vegetables and I don't love the "good for you" fruits... but I've changed over to all multigrain or grain based carb products. I've chosen the no fat, low fat, reduced fat options for cheese, yogurts, milk, etc. I am trying to stay under my sodium intake and watching the sugar intake but if I stay under in sodium and sugar, I don't have nearly enough calories. If I take in enough calories, I'm over in sodium and sugar. UGH. I am hungry, too... I just REALLY hate vegetables and fruits, lol.
