    Happy Friday all.
    I did not have a succesful weight loss week, actually gained a little over a pound. I'm not surprised because I went to a charity tasting event on Monday night and my uncle was in town so out to dinner on Wed night. I did exercise the last couple days so I'm just going to keep that going. I just tried out Jillian Michael's 6 Week 6 Pack on OnDemand and I think I'm going to try to stick with that a few times a week. A couple of the moves are pretty rough though!
    Have a good weekend everyone.

    nelski i think doing any jillian michaels workout is an acheivment shes brutal good but brutal it will def be on chart as this weeks acheivment

    well done cherrydietcoke1 2lbs is better than my 0.8lbs we are off to a good start lets hope we can keep it up

    now does spraining my foot count as acheivment or just bad luck?? cos i need a postive outlook on this i had pulled calf last weekend and now this

    I will start my weigh ins on friday as well...I have lost 1.2lbs this week (since monday). I fear it is only water weight but it is lbs. My goal is to lose at least half a lb or more in the next week. I have sort of hit a plateau and so it is hard for me to lose weight in bigger numbers. I am going to try my hardest though this time around since I have reasons to get into those jeans (sisters bachelorette party, my 5 year wedding anniversary, and my sisters wedding)

    -mabry

    ...goal for this week = no cookies and no eating after 7pm!! I bake cookies and sell them for a living so I do need to taste test; however, one bite and then I need to just throw them away

    well done you and if all else fails and like me the weight is hard to shift look at the other acheivments like not eating all the cookies you make or just sticking to the no eating aft 7pm they are all achivments and when the weight wont shift any achievment is motivational for me

    I'd love to join myself!!

    Just today I realized I hit 170 and my goal is to be 150 by my birthday which is Sept. 27th. That gives me 13 weeks to lose just 20lbs and that voice in the back of my mind keeps laughing at me! I so want to do this and be out of the double digit pants!

    This made me laugh!
    My goal for the next week is to do this workout every other day, and some kind of cardio and pushups the days in between. I'm really hoping to make this a 4-6 week goal, but 1 week at a time!

    good morning happy saturday all

    today looks like a dull miserable day outside not exactly the most motivating weather but at least its not raining yet
    i am hoping to do alittle more walking around my house today not great exercise but as much as i can handle at minute altho walking should really become hobbling im not quite as sore on my foot today but still painful but short little 5mins hobbles around my downstairs thruout the day soon add up and every hobbling step makes me remember wear the right shoes for rain not the easiest to grab

    hope you all have a great day

    Today I am going to the Taste of Philadelphia. Uh oh! lol
    I will not be counting calories, I'm going to enjoy every bite. I will make sure to get a workout in before we go( I think I'm going to have Jillian kick my butt), plus we will do a good amount of walking so it all helps.

    Enjoy your day everyone!

    Good morning all! I feel like I've been missing this week. I just started my first online grad class and it is a LOT of work! I haven't really thought about much else. We've also had some rotten weather here - thunderstorms and terrible humidity - so I haven't been able to get out for a run. But, the humidity finally left yesterday afternoon and it looks gorgeous outside so going to go for a nice long run this morning. Have a wonderful Saturday!!

    Happy Saturday everybody....

    so I am proud of myself this week on the exercise standpoint....I worked out everday monday-sat (today) and burned at least 500 calories at each one...which means I have burned over 3000 calories this week!! My goal is to do the same this next week...but take tomorrow off...this mama needs a day of rest for sure

    Good luck to everyone this week on getting your exercise in...it is what makes us more efficient calorie burners and what helps you looks good in tiny costumes :)

    Today is my weigh in day. I wasn't sure what to expect as I've had a bit of a bumpy week with food, on Thursday a magic packet of biscuits appeared in my hand and the biscuits forced me to eat them- and I was having a bad day! On the exercise front I've been on form, 4 intense 45 min sessions at the gym.
    Though a success. Almost 2lb lost since last week! I can't quite believe it. This weeks result is a big motivation for me for next week. Just git to keep on at it, one week at a time!
