You are in. Just start talking.

Congratulation on the loss. I've been at or below my goal weight for about a year and a half. Now I'm struggling to gain that extra five pounds I lost.

Man, out and about with the family and we're all hungry so where do we stop? Mc Donalds! Haven't been in years and now they only have 2 salads? Grilled chicken and bacon wrap wasn't too bad taste wise but he'll calories!

Hi all, out of town for a work conference, the had B&B guests as soon as I arrived home. Am finally getting unpacked and the house back in order as we are leaving again on Thursday.

@beeps - gorgeous gift! Bracelets are my thing. Can never have too many.
@gam3rguy - that race looked like a blast!
@larrodarro - the stove / chimney looks pretty cool.
@3furballs - you certainly do some cool workouts.

Hate the early dark now that the time has gone back an hour. I do most of my workouts after work, so now it's back to wearing a headlamp.
It was a very rainy halloween in these parts, however, my granddaughter still had a blast. She was a beautiful little fairy.

"FOCUS T25 Alpha: Cardio"=Done! well...that's deceptive. looks "easy", but i'm soaked right now.

Beeps2011

allenpriest - i like travel....but lots of people don't like (work) travel.

Furballs - i quite like mcdonald's salads....and even chicken mcnuggets are decent (calorie-wise) in a pinch.

I lifted today. Happy Birthday to me!

Tonight = steak.

BOOM!

Hello everyone!!!! Lots of posts!!! Welcome to the new members!

Once again, I'm "injured". This is so frustrating!!! My lower right leg down to my foot is numb. I have a medical appt today, I'm guessing I will be getting the run around. I keep going though... I ended October with a 2-3lb gain that I need to address ASAP!!! I don't want to end the year with the usual 5-10lb Holiday gain.

Have a wonderful day!!!!!

Oh no alf, Hope your injury is quick to heal. I have been doing the same ole thing around here, nothing too exciting. Glad to hear most everyone is doing well.
I found a used weight bench and weights on craigs list, my hubby is bringing it home tonight as long as nothing is wrong with it. I am excited and nervous and trying to clean a spot in the cellar for it to go. I am checking into some lifting groups on here for info. I am hoping to tone up and loose the belly area. Hopefully be able to eat a little more and do less cardio. We will see how it goes. Keep up the good work everyone.

"FOCUS T25 Alpha: Speed 1.0"=Done! well, that one was kinda fun. bet I won't be saying that about "2.0". still soaked!!!

Hi! I'm new....43 yrs old....looking to drop maybe around 20 lbs and put on more muscle this winter...

my main goal is to scratch off my bucket list my very first figure competition (bodybuilding)....but between injuries, surgeries, divorce, loss of job, etc.....well, I allowed bad eating, lack of exercise and a lot of drinking to get in the way of my dream...so fat I am.

Now it's head down to the grind and plowing ahead....figure competition is what I want and I will stop at NOTHING till I achieve it...hoping to compete spring/summer of 2016.

for anyone interested: 43 yr old female, height 5'10"

Oct 3 = SW 195, size 12 jeans

Oct 31 = CW 187, still size 12 but now a very tight size 10 (haha suck it in and squeeeeeeze)

Good luck, dene! My husband's cousin competed in her first figure competition last weekend.

She is 49 and she placed 4th in an "all ages" category.

She looked awesome!

Hi there Everyone, Im new here, 44 yrs old, I've been on my journey for 30 days now, 5 pds down so far, but I'll take it ! I want to lose about 60pds, that would put me around 130, but I'll reevaluate as I get closer.... I work full time, and sit on my butt all day, then I go to school full time too, so I sit on my butt for that also. I have Spondy and some disk issues, About 2 months ago I got really really tired of the pain, so I worked with a PT for a while, and we made up a pretty good program to keep them in check, and now I am actually working on adding weight to my program, it's just sooooo slowww because keeping those core muscles engaged is HARD ! lol

"FOCUS T25 Alpha: Total Body Circuit"=DONE! that was HARD and I did NOT "nail it".

sdereski

Hi all,

New circuit training routine started yesterday. We used the medicine ball for the entire workout. It was tough, but really good. I asked for more strength and less cardio. At least one session of full weights and the other mixed. We'll see. My partner likes the mix, but I told her if we want to change our shape, we need WEIGHTS!

@beeps - your husband's cousin does look amazing. looks like she has almost 0% body fat.

@alf1163 - sorry to hear you are injured once again! Hope you get some answers.

@3furballs - I know McD's are starting to introduce "healthier" options, but you're right - still high in calories! I do enjoy their non fat lattes. Normally, I take my coffee black, so those are a real treat.

My heart tests all came back normal, so I don't require any follow up! However, the episodes I did have are puzzling. Haven't had any issues in a few weeks.

welcome newcomers!
