    Good morning everyone. Today is my weigh in for my husband and I bet. Ugh stressfull. I know he is going to win because he just started to loose weight so he has lost a lot. But he told me that we can do another challenge. It keeps both of us on track that is for sure. I did it for his first 8 weeks because I wanted him to get healthy and he did to however would fall down and just not really care but this realy got him hooked and he has a hard time with missing a day. If I don't feel motivated he makes me motiveated and I do the same for him. He is doing wonderful I think he said he has lost about 13lbs thus far. We took before and after pictures and you can really see it.

    Picture post! Picture post! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    (I love before-and-after's)

    I'd love to see pictures to - I wish I had before pictures that were better - my hubby has lost 44 pounds now and with my 58 that's over 100 pounds!!

    Checked out a new gym yesterday did a body pump class-loved it. This one costs more but so much closer to home (by like 30 minutes) and it offers more with the pool and classes.

    Still hanging in there - hope to have some good news with some weight down by wednesday but nothing so far. It's been a very slow month for me. I feel like it's due to weights - I've been doing weights twice a week but my measurements are down so I am ok with that - it will all catch up and get going again. I'd just really like to see a loss this week.....

    Hey guys-well so much for the big loss. Up 3 pounds. Ughhh. SLOWLY back on the treadmill. I miss doing all the stuff you guys are talking about:cry: -you can do sprinting anyway you want. I was going at 9.3 on the treadmill for 20 sec, getting my HR up over 85%, then walking till I brought it down to 75%. About 45 sec. Loved it, felt so invigorated. Did it about 12 times, but started a lot slower. And now, my body is mush and I have a flat *kitten*.:sad: Eating is soso too. Ughh, to be healthy again. Have a good week guys.:flowerforyou:

    I ordered Jillian's new book after listening to her radio shows now. I'd really like to go pretty much completely organic, but I guess it's that worry of 'cost' that has me hesitant. Though I know that if I can afford McD's and Sheetz, I can afford organic and healthy. I'm also worried about my bf eating it all too! Haha. He has no concept of portions and will just eat for no reason.....I just watch the money get eaten. :laugh: I guess I should just browse a local health food store and see what I think.

    I really want to go organic also but my husband is a "farm" man and will having nothing to do with it. I wanted to buy free range chicken eggs and he wouldn't even let me do that. I also wanted to start taking out processed foods and he asked me what wasn't processed these days. :grumble: If I had balls he would be busting me in them all the time.

    I finally had one of those problems that was a good one. The weather turned nice here last weekend so I pulled out a pair of capris from last summer. AND they were too big. I need the next size! Love it! I am giving them all to my sister who has lost 30 pounds so far.

    So, we all want to know, how was your show Rach. You were so nervous before.

    I sang okay, could've been better, but it was a lot of fun!

    Chrissyh - Congrats on joining a gym! I'd love to, but I'm one of those who doesn't want to go alone. I end up feeling so self-concious. :blushing:

    alright so today I ran 2 miles and burned over 800 calories. we went on a walk with some friends after supper and thought I would turn on the HRM and we played around at the playground and then went for more of a walk and total I burned 1203 calories. I couldn't believe how many calories I burned just having fun at the playground messing around. Tomorrow we are going grocery shopping that should be fun. Im going to stock up on fruits and veggies. :bigsmile:

    Smile :smile: Rach - we love you!:heart:

    It's really not bad there's so many "normal" people - yeah there's some real hotties but I've not felt out of place. I look at it this way - I am there for me not them and if they don't like what they are looking at they need to go home! Probably going to try the Kickboxing class tonight too - I've got to get something happening this pokey loss is driving me crazy. I am not giving up but I have to try something new to get something happening again. this month has been my slowest in loss yet-I realize it gets harder as you get closer to your goal but I am still over 30 pounds away and my goal is 149 so it's not unreasonable I don't think.

    jess - WOW I hope you enjoyed eating some of that extra food for all those calories.

    GOOD MORNING!!!!

    I felt that way too but did it anyway. It took me a year to work up the courage to go to a class. Now I go to only one. The people in it are nice to me even though I can only do a fraction of what they do!

    So since the car I was driving is my mom's, she's getting tires put on it now while I'm at work and she'll pick me up on my lunch break so I can drive it back to work. Yay! I missed breakfast this morning, because I zoned out on the couch and next thing I knew I had to leave...whoops! :laugh:

    I'm GOING to do Plyo tonight and then get to work on my finals! :grumble:

    Oh yea and I JUST started drinking my water again! I haven't been drinking ANY....ZERO!!! NADDA!!! :noway: :blushing:

    Aww thanks! :smooched:

    I guess I'm more worried that if I can't even stick to working out at home than I'd be wasting my money paying for a membership. Just another reason I need to work on persistence and follow through. :wink:

    I can't blame you there about the money - but the first place I joined was only $20 for a single for the month with no registration and no yearly commitment - it was a great way to get started....maybe you could call around and get a two week trial to see if you like it and if you'll go....I do other things too but it helps to have the machines in there to keep things changing so I don't get bored.

    BTW Rach - no loss this week still the same for me

    Yay for Moms! My Mom ALWAYS helps us out to. And I love helping my kids out-feels good. I just put $1000.00 of my dh bonus on my oldest credit card. he works so hard, is doing so well in school and loves his Mama so much. Sad part is, he's not spending his money foolishly either. Life is just so costly.
    I'm rooting for j to bring it all in this week. I'm up too. I deserve it though. Last night, I ate so much chocolate I thought I would never sleep. I was grieving. My all time FAVORITE "cookie cup" that i take with me EVERYWHERE to drink my water in-I'm known for that cup, was left at Walmart and it's gone. I seriously wanted to cry. I have 1 left and they don't make them anymore.....I'm gonna take a pic of my cup and put on my profile one of this days. I have a serious warped attachment. Guess that's what happened cause my Mom took my soother away back in the day!:laugh:
