Okay, I'm posting a photo....why am I so neverous about doing this?? I wear this damn bikini to the waterpark, so this should be easy. I have to say the lighting makes me look worse.
This is from this morning, I have one from when I started at 152, just have to find it in all the other photos on my computer.
darn photos....second attempt to post photo coming soon!
second attempt, success!! (almost, now there is a white box around the photo, oh well)
Okay now the photo I posted is a small box and you can't see the full shot??? Anyone know how to fix this??0 -

I dont have a clue how to fix that Im not really good at doing this stuff, trying to post my before pic right now, you look AMAZING btw! Great job!0 -
Did my normal workout today, and added steps back in 20 minutes of them. Did some crunches and pushups too just for fun! Attempting to post a before pic...its the best one I could find that Im not wearing a baggy black t-shirt and you can actually tell how big I am/was here goes nothing!
Sorry if its HUGE idk how to fix that!0 -
You ladies are cracking me up with these pictures.. to post them that is! Maybe it's just me but they all seem fine and large enough?
This before picture is going to be tricky! I haven't taken a pic of myself in YEARS and have only allowed a few to take a pic of me! *sigh* So, I'm going to have to find someone to take a pic for me or send it... I REALLY hate pictures of myself. *sigh*0 -

Just use your phone and a mirror, that's what I did. And I swear the pics keep changing every time I pull up the thread, first it was the way I posted it, but it had a white box around it. Then it was only showing the left top corner. Now it's the whole pic, not the cropped pic I had posted, and the one I posted had text on it, todays date and weight. How it's changing itself I don't know???0 -
Oh my goodness, im EXHAUSTED! Just logged 870 calories burned, did the arm exercises too! Plus some house cleaning that I had to to also. Havent been able to get my calcium intake up yet this week, im trying though!0

Happy Friday Team Black!
Thursday I was over on Calcium! I did not exercise though ... I was in the ER for a good chunk of the day with my son. He smashed his finger in the door of my car right before the bus pulled up for school. Sooooo ... I had to take him to be seen by someone before sending him to school. Long story short .. we ended up at the ER for too long to find out that nothing was damaged. Thank God! No broken bones and all his muscles and ligaments are okay. Yay! But that kinda messed up my day and thus no work out.
Today I did got back on track and did the arm exercises and the stairs! Boy those stairs are a true workout! LOL! I was also over on my calcium!
Hope everyone had a great Friday!0 -

Didnt do a whole lot today, managed to get in 10 minutes of steps and some other small things. Just over 400 calories burned but im on a good pace to complete my goal for the week. Hopefully I can stay motivated over this long weekend to get up and get things done. Even if it is just a little at a time. Hope yall are having a GREAT weekend!!0

Saturday check in!
Arms double work out today! Not only did I do some shoveling but I did the arm work out! The workout really helped my achy muscles believe it or not! Stairs done too!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! 0 -
Did not get a cardio workout in today, I am just too sore from yesterday. I increased my weights yesterday, it was only a 5 lb increase but I can barely walk today!!
I'll get back into it tomorrow, hopefully I won't hurt so much!!0 -

Make sure that you stretch adequately after your workout and even before you go to bed; if you're still sore in the AM, stretch again (gently)... have you ever used a foam roller? I use one & it helps a lot!0 -

Hello everyone!
I'm exhausted as well and kinda had a rough past two days. I'm trying to shake it so it doesn't discourage me. I'm doing well on my calories and keeping up with my workouts so that is good news I suppose. Hope everyone continues to enjoy their Labor Day Weekend! Stay safe!0 -

Thanks everyone for the kinda words on my photo! Isn't it funny how we always see something in the mirrir that others don't see. I still see a tummy and jiggly thighs, even though I know how far I've come. Thanks again for all the support!0

Sunday Check-in!
I got in the calcium today with the help of a multi-vitamin!
I did not do the strength or stairs today.
It was a busy day today with tiling the floor. I had a hard time calculating all that I did with the tiling project but I think I got it as close as possible. Tomorrow I really need to push it on the cals burned to make up for 2 days of no exercise! O.o
Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend! 0
