    Hey black team..

    I'm watching too - we are training with Jillian --- oh kick my toochas.... :smokin: :smokin:

    jb

    why do you think I picked black!! if it was just about colors we would be the pink team. But, now that the show is on we have to think like jillian is our trainer and if you need me to yell at you! I WILL!!!!:bigsmile: :laugh: :bigsmile:

    and now I cry :cry: :love: because I just looked at my ticker and realized I am only 8.5 pounds away from my half way point!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    Sam! You made me look at mine and see I am only 6 lbs from my half way goal. I've been so down on myself this last couple of weeks, that really picked me up. I tell you what, joining the team was the best most motivating thing EVER. :heart: Thank you so so so so much for letting me be on the Black team.
    I swear I am crying with you.

I am doing WW right now b/c counting calories just doesn't work for me. I look forward to this. I know taht the one thing that I need to work on is exercising, so can anyone give me advice on motivating myself to exercise.

    Hey everyone!

    The Bat is back! lol

    Sorry I havnt been around been on a bit of a business trip. Very excited about tommorows weight in. Worked out 5 out of 7 days this week and stuck to my calorie budget. I was out of town for work the last couple of days and while I had planned to work out the second I got to my destination I began feeling icky and within a couple of hours I was in the throws of a sever stomach virus I got from DW.:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: So while I didnt work out the last two days I didnt eat either. I just worked half a day, layed in a hotel room bed crying for my mommy for about 17 hours:sick: :sick: :sick: . Dragged my butt back to work for a day and drove home. Should be an interesting weight in. lol Managed to keep some food down today and through it all drank plenty of water to stay hydrated.

    *Spoiler alert*
    Wont mention details but pretty PO'd about the weight in thing on the biggest loser. That aint right.:explode: :angry:

    Anyway good luck teammates!

    Katie - you need to find something you really like to do. If you don't like TaeBo, you won't stick with it. If you don't like running, you won't stick with it. Try some stuff out. Personally, I really like Turbo Jam. It is the first program that I've been able to stay with & I've had really good results with it. Good luck & welcome!

    For me the simpiler the better. I have Leslie Sansome Walk 4 fast miles. It has simple steps, gets my HR up there, and uses all my muscles but in a simple movement. Can you see simple is my favorite word!?

    You can find her DVDs at Walmart for $10. the best 10 bucks I have invested in thus far!

    Good luck Katie....glad you joined!:flowerforyou: Jeannie

    Jeannie - did you weigh in? :indifferent: I'm having inner battles about posting mine right now. LOL

    The wind my ticker is going to generate going backwards might knock some people off the boards....

    I have been exercising every day. Lifting weights and eating all my calories.

    Good luck at weigh in today!!

    YAY, Jeannie! I'm so happy your p-word is gone! You even USED the p-word without cringing! *hugs* Progress, my friend. Perhaps today will be my REALLY big off day. You inspired me.

    Katie

    You have gotten some great advice so far...I agree,you kinda have to play around with different types of exercises to find the one that works best for you! I get bored very easy if i don't have a varity of workouts(workout at home). So I have some beginner,intermediate and advanced level workouts to keep me motivated. I love step aerobics and weight lifting circuits. My favorite workout is walking/running....its simple and free!

    Good luck and Welcome:flowerforyou:
