Unfortunately I can't join the Pound for Pound challenge. Apparently Canadians aren't allowed to partake?
200 calories a day I can do just walking up and down the stairs at home. These things are a MONSTER and normally once I'm up I stay up... or once I'm down I stay down but maybe this will be an excuse to go up and down. On the side I'm scared of stairs so it'll be a good exercise in more way than one.
Sorry I'm so late getting here. The last few days were kind of crazy. You should see me right now! Blackened eyes, pale skin... everyone keeps looking at me as if I'm diseased so I snort... which is followed by giggles and; "Swine flu?"
Anyway, it's not. It's just allergy season and stress. Sorry, probably shouldn't make jokes like that anyway!
And that's my story.0 -
Good morning. I think I might start my 30 day shred DVD today. I joined a challenge that begins next week, but I thought I might start it today just to see what it's like, and get my exercise in, as it's very nasty outside today.
Indeed-- do not put off till tomorrow that which you can do today-- excellent !!!!
Shred'll kick your butt, it's a good little workout.0 -
We are having us a black team par-tay when you hit 100, Roni! You are an amazing inspiration to us!
Party? Please tell me someone didnt say PARTY!:noway: Girly-Beans I been avoiding parties at all costs lately lol. Partys ALWAYS mean there will be CAKE:noway: :laugh: But I do have one coming up for my youngests' 8th grade graduation on the 28th. Im trying real hard to hit that 100 lbs gone mark before then so I can treat myself to just one little tiny sliver of his cake as a reward:blushing:
Thank you so much for your kind words Sara...you and Jeannie and Marla and a few others have been with me from "the start" it feels like and were always there and ready to give me words of encouragment and keep me moving on when I felt like I wasnt getting anywhere. I just wanted to say that and you ladies will never know how much its meant to me. Now, before I start a cry-fest I will end this subject with a simple I my Black Team!:flowerforyou: :drinker:
P.S. I could never forget the guy that keeps me moving on either...Andrew
Yes, Ma'am-- I remember you first coming on-- and started talking about your son--
We've been through a lot-- and you mean just as much to me-- all of you do-- I was thinking of you all while I was running. Knowing I couldn't stop because I wanted to be accountable to you all-- I wouldn't have made it this far without you-- thank God I found this site.0 -
Annaliza-- way to burn those calories, woman--
Beth-- TOM is one big, fat, pain in the fanny-- my cycle is totally screwed up. I got a premature visit two days after my surgery, which was two weeks early-- so now I'm totally confused when I'm due. But, judging by my demeanor, (de meaner, de better) I'm due. I've been ready to rip some heads off. :noway:
Sniffles-- don't sweat the pound for pound-- no worries-- hope you feel better-- allergies stink.
Morning Vanessa, Janie, Bobbi, Shuntae, Andrew, Jeannie, Shuntae, Amanda, Lynnie, Kati, Sam, Sara, Kristen, the lady the red hair :blushing: , leckl, the other new lady that posted today whose name I don't remember-- fudgesicles. :grumble: Heck-- all of you, good morning!!!
Getting too damn old :grumble: -- when y'all get a chance, throw your names in your signatures, please, if they're not in your screen name. Senior moments over here cause me to forget names these days--
Edit-- ha! Just noticed I greeted Shuntae twice-- well good morning again, Shuntae!0 -

You greeted me twice 'cause I'm your fave. Don't worry, I can keep a secret. :laugh:0 -
hey all!!!
Marla - Great job on finishing the 3 miles and pushing on when you wanted to quit. I bet you feel proud! You're such an inspiration and I can't wait until I can run 3 miles just like you!!!
Beans - 750 CALORIES!!!! Holy cow girl!! Great job!
Sniffles - (Sorry, I didn't catch your real name) I've never had allergies before, but I'm sure they suck. And on top of that being stressed? No good. I hope you start feeling better soon!!!
Miasmommy - (Sorry, didn't catch your name either) I've done 30 Day Shred before and it is KILLER. But before long it starts to get easier as you build up some strength in your thighs and arms. I love it, and I might start doing it again, but not everyday cuz i like to switch it up. But I bet after your first work you, you're going to be shocked at how hard it is!
Beth - I'm glad Andrew outed you! This team is so fun and the more the merrier!
Annalize - 700 Calories!! wow. Great job girl!!!!
My legs are CRAZY sore today, I don't know what to do about burning 200 calories. Any suggestions?
I forgot my Slimfast for breakfast :explode: :mad: . A girl here says she has Toaster Streudels (sp) in the freezer, so i'm going to check out how many calories they are and maybe have one of those. I stayed up WAY too late last night watching the Twin/Tigers 13 inning game, but went to bed smiling since we won with a walkoff grand slam (Go Crede!!)
Hope everyone is having a great day!!!!! 0 -
Hey Marla! Why is June 5 so special? It's special to me because it's my older daughter's birthday.0

'Morning Toni-- June 5 is my birthday, too !!-- and was the day I'd hoped to reach goal.

Don't be so hard on yourself. 40 lbs. lost is fantastic. I'm trying for 25 & I can't seem to lose 1.0 -
Hey team!!!!
I hope everyone is having a great morning!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:
Well my weight loss is at a stand still but I'm trying a few things that I hope will work. PLUS its TOM for me, but its been TOM for almost 2 weeks now!!:explode: :mad: I've got a call in to my doctor to see what's going on. THis happened last month to, so surely something's a little off. :huh:
I'm having trouble burning 200 calories a day...I am not allowed to do any exercise that have impact (i.e. walking, running, jumping) because I'm having problems with my feet :frown: :sick: ...but I do yoga and pilates and try to do some strength training. Due to illness among my household I can't get any workouts in consistently and frankly being able to pay for a gym membership is not an option right now. I just don't think that yoga and pilates is going to really burn 200 calories???
:ohwell: I need ideas, please??? 0 -
Mornin' Black Team!!! I've got a slow minute here at work, won't last though :laugh: I did take a walk with dh last night - 219 calories burned! Hubby's like "are you speed walking or what tonight?? Slow down!" Made him pant a little lol! Did water aerobics this a.m. for 278 calories burned - bs I say!! I know it was more than that - I need a HRM. Preferably one I can wear in water! Have a good day everyone - I'll check in as I can - can't keep up with this thread :drinker: You guys rock!0

You're famous, girl! 0 -
Good Morning Black Team !!
Marla...Glad you were able to push through and finish your run.
Sam...I pledged 10 pounds, that should get me to goal.
Getting ready to go for my run. Always an easy 200+ calorie burn. I can do 2.75 miles almost to that 5K mark. Not bad for a non runner:laugh:0 -

Evening all.
Still busy I see. Well hitting the gym actually made the achey back feel better. got 530 calories burned and feeling much better. Anyhoo I have another long day at work tommorow but at least I am not doing a rediculous amount of driving for a change. Have a great night friends!
:bigsmile: :drinker:
Im so glad your back is better Andrew, please be careful! NO INJURIES my friend And just so you feel "at home"...I only burned 518 calories yesterday. You got me my friend:laugh: :flowerforyou:
No such luck there Roni, I am thinking that this is officially in injury status as it is much worse today and I have taken half a day from work and am on the couch with a heating pad. Ugh...Not to mention that the metobolic mayhem that comes with quitting smoking is cathing up with me. I have been fighting to keep the scale from going up but it is starting to creep in that direction. Th good news is that even if I plataue or gain a bit it is still the best thing I can do for my health. I have been spot on with cals and excersise and I still cant seem to keep the weight gain at bay. Couple that with the back situation and the fact that it might be a bit before I start working out again and that spells trouble for the batman. Ah well, All I can do is do my best and keep making good desicions. One good thing I got going is that my pants are looser even though the scale is being difficult.
Anyway!
Have a great afternoon everyone!
If you need me I will be lying on the couch whining like a baby while I stalk the thread. lol

Figures the double disaster strikes when I am 4 pounds away from 100 and 2 days away from finishing couch to 5k. Yet for some reason I'm not even that bummed. I guess I am growing out of that "Race to the finish" mind set. lol0 -

So, I have gained about 13 lbs with pregnancy. I am coming up on 6 months. I guess that isn't horrible right?? I mean, if I keep as I am...and just be careful..the rest of the weight that comes on will mostly be the baby growing and gaining HIS weight.
I am not adding the weight gain to my ticker...because I don't think it counts...YET!! :laugh: :laugh:
When I give birth and get home from the hospital, I will change my ticker then to see what I really have to lose then! I mean, my last baby was 9 lbs at birth!!! :laugh: :laugh: Makes for a great "LOSS" once home!!! 0 -
Where'd the party go?0 -

Personally, I wouldn't post the weight until your six week checkup-- by then you'll have all the weight and gloop of the baby off and have a better indication of where you really stand.
13 pounds right now is super--0 -

There's too much to read right now that I missed this! I hope your back continues to feel better, Andrew! Don't push yourself too much & make sure you're doing your 7min.+ of stretching after your workouts!0
