    I didn't realize a new thread had started :-) I've been walking and started adding a little jog/run in with it. The little bit of running has upped my burn & I'm feeling it in my booty & thighs. Yay!! I still don't think my knees can handle Jillian again so I'm not attempting it. I have Zumba for the Kinect & Dance Central for Kinect that I'd like to start again.

    Amber: Sounds like a plan girlfriend, I think i have the grocery store in my plans for today as much as i hate it but i, too, am running out of food in my refrigerator. :sad:

    Meghan: Jump, Shake, Shimmy the bad mood out (not sure if your little guy watches Yo Gabba Gabba...lol) Even if you cant press play if your routine includes some TV time utilize the commercial time for crunches and such. I usually do that on Tuesdays while i watch biggest loser. :o) You got this Mama, just think about your big date :bigsmile:

    Latoya: So far my plan is my usual 6pm Zumba class, i might get into more but i have been having trouble eating my 1200 calories for the day and i dont want to kill a loss because im not eating enough. My goal is to be around 135 by the end of the challenge...i think the spreadsheet says 136ish which is a 5% loss for the month. I am so ready for the 130s!!!

    How is everyone else today? Lets make this a productive day shall we!! Lets burn more calories than we did yesterday!!! How bout it!!!!?? :o)

    Now go workout!!!!
    :heart: Meg

    I didnt workout yesterday so i will definitely make sure to burn more calories today than yesterday...im making myself accountable!!!

    Hey ladies :)

    Iv'e been shopping today too. Managed to scoop lots of reduced bargains so now my freezer is FULL!!!!

    Got a lovely walk in as well which was good.... Because I didn't have much weight loss with 30 day shred last month, I have decided to skip Jillian until after my big consultant appointment ( on TUESDAY EEEEEEKKKK!!). May take it up again on wednesday... maybe... lol

    My goal this month is just to get my scales moving DOWN!! I have been at a plateau for such a long time and I would love to reach my 100lbs by xmas - 19 lbs to go!!

    Have a great day xx

    Today I am treating myself to Subway for lunch! My girls have taken turns being sick for 2 weeks and my husband was out of town for a week so I have not been to the gym in 3 weeks :(. So tonight i'm super excited to get back to my zumba class. Tomorrow i'm getting my hair highlighted plus I have body pump and zumba class. On Saturday morning I do body pump and zumba again. I probably won't be able to move come Sunday.

    October was suppose to be the month I broke out of my 140's but with everything going on I did horrible. I ate really bad and couldn't make it to the gym as much. So my goal for November is to break out of my 150's and never ever go back.

    Good luck to the rest of you. You all are doing so good and have such motivation! You all ROCK!!!!
    Enjoy your day and have a great weekend!

    Just started Ripped in 30 today. I will be taking rest days this time around which I didn't do with 30DS.

    Also my goal for November is to break past the 130 barrier. 129.8, here I come!

    Sounds like everyone is doing great!! Just got back from the store and i realized i must have worked my *kitten* off yesterday because it hurts to walk. lol Must be doing something right. :o)

    I also had to pick up things for our Halloween Party on Sunday (it was originally planed as a going away party for my Hubb but since hes not leaving until January 10th now its now just a Halloween party :o)) Lets just say Sunday is not going to be a good day. hah I have some great ideas for themed food but they are not healthy...not even a little! hah so ill just taste test and hopefully not go over board. :o)

    Good Evening you all!

    How did today go for all of us?

    It's gone pretty okay for me. Got my exercise in, doing the laundry still (that's a never ending battle), dinner is cooked and waiting to be eaten. I'll wait until Daniel comes home because I like us eating together at the same time so we can talk about our days and what nots. The grocery list still needs made and the house still needs cleaned but there's always tomorrow for cleaning. The list I'll make it out tonight or tomorrow morning before I go grocery shopping.

    Just wanna say thank you all for the support and encouragement. Without you girls I dunno where I'd be. Lost in the land of MFP I'm sure but I can say you've all really brought a sense of feeling like I belong on this site. I've tried other sites before but never really felt at home so to speak so thanks you!

    Love you all bunches!

    Awp! :smooched: Thanks girlfriend! Like i have said before you are a huge part of the group and we just wouldn't be the same without ya!!

    As for me, Just got back from Zumba and it was one HECK of a class, i was sweating buckets after the 3rd song! My instructor is amazing! I hope i can be HALF the instructor she is when i start teaching!

    I think i have a small NSV....not sure if this counts but i started making some of the treats for Sundays party, the one i worked on today was cookie balls that will look like little pumpkins. So you crush OREOS and mix them with cream cheese roll it into balls coat with white chocolate and orange sugar and top with a pretzel stem....:noway: :noway: Yumm, Although, i wouldnt know if they were yumm, because i didnt eat any! Not even a taste! :drinker: If any of you seen Meghans post earlier, you know i REALLY like oreos...but somehow i had some self control, not sure where i found it but i did! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Well im going to go enjoy some coffee and some quality time with Huberoonie and will check in with everyone in the mornin'

    Soooooooooo, last night I had every freaking intention of shredding until it reached about 10:00 pm and my two year old was still awake and CLINGY. My neighbor had a really rough day yesterday so I let her two year old play at my house for almost 3 hours. That meant no shredding then. I cleaned some and cooked and was in a generally poor mood. I don't really know why because and this is really personal but I feel close to you ladies but I am on antidepressants and recently upped the dosage. I shouldn't be in a bad mood, that is contrary to what the pills should do. Ugh. My bad moods are not just feeling irritable, it is much worse. I never get violent or have rage problems, I just kind of shut down. The only person I can seem to really respond to is my son, so don't worry that I would ever ignore him.

    Anyway, I told myself that I would get up and shred and I DID!!!! The sucky part was that I tweaked my sciatic nerve during the last part and thought I was going to die. I actually was truly afraid that I couldn't get off the floor and my son would find me as a twitching mess in tears. lol I popped 3 tylenol and it feels better already. Stupid leftover pregnancy thing. Hmph. lol

    Hey Nonsensers! Just realized i can add sheets to our spread sheet instead of starting over every week! Woo! All the pages look the same so make sure the date is correct when inputting your info and if its on the wrong page click on the correct week tab in the bottom left corner of the page. :o) I will transfer weigh in info to the new pages so dont worry about putting it in 2 places. :o)

    I think my post above may come across wrong and I would edit it if allowed. I am afraid that it seems like I said that I have rage and violence problems and I absolutely do not. I rarely get angry but I do tend to shutdown a bit when I feel depressed. I wish I would have written that better. Now ya'll will think I am nuts.

    We're all nuts ;-) JK Your post was not written wrong/bad & it didn't come across to me that you're a violent, crazy *kitten*. lol As far as the meds - maybe you just need more time to get adjusted to the new dosage? I remember when being taken off of the meds they kept decreasing my dose and it hit me hard. It took my body a while to adjust. Hope whatever it is works itself out quickly & you start feeling better! Keep active, that's always helped me when I'm in a funk.

    Just got home from the gym and finished up D2W1 of C25K. I ate an awesome dinner, lol, so i knew i needed to burn some extra calories to come out a little closer to even. I was doing 3.5 walking for 90 sec and 6.5 or 7.0 for 60 sec running!! Phew!!!:yawn: Stats: 35 minutes, 2.45 miles, 215 calories. I can see improvement from day 1 already! :love:

    Alrighty kids, gonna go shower and go get some much needed sleep and hope to sleep past 6 am!!! Cross your fingers:ohwell: ! Usually on the weekends im out and about more since hubster is home with us so keep up your motivation and ill check in here and there. We are an awesome group and thankfully we pretty much motivate our selves but i know the extra kick in the pants is always helpful! :o) g'night!

    Night Night Meg and sweet dreams. I'll be going here myself in a little while.

    Did my grocery shopping early this morning and then did a lot of walking. My back calf was bugging me and I didn't feel like jumping around to Jillian today so we'll give her a go tomorrow.

    Found some awesome licorice at Aldi's. Strawberry flavored. Good snack it looks to be. Haven't had yet.

    Plan to make soup tomorrow for lunch. Told ya all the talk of potato soup I'd make some. :laugh:

    Loves to all..

    I was curious what you were doing. I wrote down my numbers from this morning. 3.5 walking and 4.5 for running. I burned 177 calories, 1.76 miles for 29 minutes. The first week is only 29 minutes, so are you doing some extra warm up or cool down?

    Morning!

    How's it going everyone? Are we all having a good Saturday so far? Mine's been pretty okay so far.

    I need to get the soup into the crockpot looks like it'll be tomorrow's lunch instead and having enchiladas for dinner from skinnytaste website, yum yum!

    Made a cheesecake for Daniel to take and he forgot it! I'll take it down there about 11:30 am or so.

    I'll be getting my shred on today. It'll be L3D4 since I didn't do it yesterday. My walking felt nice though yesterday!

    Allright well check in later.
