j_g4ever

Alright everyone our family was in town today for my sons doctor appointment and he sprung on me lets go to applebees. :noway: And I can't say no. So we went. I did so good I made sure to have something off of the weight watchers menu :drinker: and I didn't have dessert :bigsmile: I had a couple of fries that were my sons because OMG they are so good at applebees. SO I did a great job. Im so proud of myself. O by the way I also only had water. :drinker: I have the biggest loser recording on my DVR and Im catching up now. Great job everyone.

hi everyone. Please keep up all this great work. Today, I tried doing 30 day shred, which is just half an hour, and I basically tanked after 10 minutes. I am so depressed that I honestly think there is something wrong with me! Everything hurt. I have been great with food, I lost a good amount for my first week, but what workout can I do that I can actually get through it? Just walk? Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi Blue Team!

I met all my goals for today except for taking the dog for a walk - cold + rainy here.

I went to the gym after work and did Jillian's Winning by Losing work out - my abs are sore already!!

Good luck to every one on their weigh-ins! :flowerforyou:

Don't give up! This is a process! It's going to take time to get yourself to working up to Jillian's standards!! I haven't done "the shred" but I hear it's tough!! You can & you will do this!!
If you're looking for something not so intense, I loved doing the Leslie Sansone walk away the pounds videos. You'll see & feel yourself getting stronger & stronger & you'll know when you're ready for something more challenging!

zahrab,

I, too, tried the 30 day shred yesterday and hated EVERY minute of it. If my spouse hadn't challenged me, I definitely would have quit within a few minutes. I am sore today and really don't care to do that again...even if the workout is only 27 minutes.

I had previously tried Taebo Cardio and intially had trouble with all the funky moves. First day, I quit after about 15 minutes. After doing it 3 or 4 days in a row, I was finally able to catch on and make it through with minimal rest breaks. I received a HRM for Christmas and I burned over 300 calories with this workout.

I was bummed to find out that I only burned about 200 doing Level 1 of 30 Day Shred AND I was miserable the whole way through! It was just too hard on my joints. I am not sure if I will try to push through it another day or two to see if it gets any easier.

I think there is a lot of trial and error in finding a workout that you enjoy and gives you the right amount of a challenge/calorie burn:)

Hey guys! We can do this! One thing I started doing that seemed to work was to work out in some way while I am watching the biggest loser. Like doing sit-ups orlifting weights or using the exercise ball in some way. It sure helped me to watch other people struggling WAY more than me. LETS DO THIS!

Well guys....tomorrow morning is weigh-in! You ready for week 2!?

I was happy with myself today too. I think the weigh in has me motivated! :happy: I went to the gym and did the cardio and the weight machines. I need to learn how to do the free weight stuff. I did two bottles of water and will try for more tomorrow. :ohwell:

I love applebees too. And I have learned that the Weight Watchers food on the menu is great and super guilt free.

I did get me a pretty good walk in today and I registered for class this morning...

We won't give up on you as long as you don't give up on us! :flowerforyou: We can do it.

THANKS! I''m not giving up on my team...and it is nice to know that you haven't given up on me

RainbowNtheWaterfall

Hey blah...we won't give up on you! :flowerforyou: You're back and that's what counts!

As for myself...I haven't done the greatest either. I was so afraid that I had gained over the weight I had reported...which was the day before Christmas! And I know I ate too much and wasn't tracking my food for over a week. Fortunately, I weighed this morning (since I am finally home to my scale and shed some water weight), and I'm back to about the same. I am planning on heading to the gym tonight and get back on the bandwagon!

Yesterday I went grocery shopping and there were tons of fresh fruits & veggies on sale!! And I did just like rachael ray says....I washed them all as soon as I got home! I even chopped the entire bunch of celery so I have plenty of celery sticks to snack on now. I also took the dog on 2 walks yesterday!

Oh, and who else is pumped for the BL premiere tomorrow?!

Thanks Shar! Keep up the good work!
