~JUNE~ BIGGEST LOSER HEALTH ATTACK .... Welcome everyone wel

sanifrey

Connie, I have the wii active & it's great! I haven't been able to enjoy it much though, my ankle just can't handle alot of the exercises. There's a lot of running in place, high knees & lunges which are just no good for tendonitis! But, I do like everything I've seen & can't wait to try it again when I'm feeling a bit better! There's one part that is inline skating, going down hill & jumping off of ramps!! It's super fun! The lower you squat, the faster you go & then you have to jump out of your squat once you hit the ramps! Really works your quads & it so much fun!! :bigsmile:

Now we are waiting till friday... The Dr. Wants another Neuro to look at the film so he has another opinion. Which I am happy with that as it is her brain they will be working with. Thank You all so much for your support!! You are a great group of people...

I gave it my all!! mowed the lawn, worked in the garden & dug some holes for fence post (one of these day I'll get this fence all up before I sale the house) I've only got 6 more to go. Then to the garage with more lifting and moving and sorting for the rest of the day.....I was thinking of putting on one of my DVD's or getting on the wii tonight....but I think I'm with you sandy I'm done, will maybe I'll go up and down the stairs a few more times tonight.....:yawn:

Crystal we'll pray for good new's for you tomorrow.
As well as a great weight-in in the morning for us all.

KZOsMommy

Hey there ladies!!!

Hope everyone is doing well! Sandy I see you are losing a good amount of weight this week!!! Well I am not sure I am going to weight in tomorrow. I will for sure in the next day or two just so I know but I ate dinner tonight and did not realize there was gluten in something I ate so now I am soooo bloated and in a lot of pain. I was going to work out tonight as I was very busy all day but now in so much pain I am not sure I can make it (maybe try some yoga with Bob?) . Anyway we will see how bad I feel tomorrow and go from there. I look forward to seeing all you ladies great weight loss this week!!!

Amanda

Good morning ladies!!

Crystal - thoughts & prayers for you & your family!

Connie - you superwoman you!! Still digging post holes!! That is going to be one awesome fence! I'd love to spend some time cleaning my garage, but it's all the husband's plumbing crap!! We'll never get our truck parked in there! Never!!

Amanda - so sorry to hear about your gluten issues! I have a few really good friends that struggle with it as well! I look forward to seeing your weigh in though! I know that you're doing great!!

Everyone - let's keep going & make everday count!

So, my weigh in this week.... ... 148!! That's down 5 lbs f rom last week!! Now, remember I was up 1 so I'm guessing that this is probably the results of 2 good weeks, but happy none the less!

Well, I gotta run! But, have a great day & I'll try to catch up with you all later!!

sanifrey

Where is everyone?? ..... ... :yawn:

Great job this week to all the losers!! :drinker:

Sandy your garage sound just like mine....I told Bob never again, When we move I want a garage I can park my car in...

Hope everyone has a good weekend!!!!

KZOsMommy

Thank you Sandy and Connie! I am feeling better today and I did weight myself yesterday and I am down 1.8lbs

Congratulations Sandy, Connie and Emile!!! Great job ladies!!!

I have a busy weekend so I will not be around but will check back with you all on tuesday when I get back up to Michigan!

Amanda

sanifrey

Amanda, I'm glad to hear that you're feeling a bit better & congrats on the loss this week! Enjoy your busy weekend! We'll look forward to checking in with you on Tuesday!

Connie, that's awesome about your inches!! That's where it really counts anyway!

I was able to get outside to do a brisk walk by myself this morning!! It was great! Sometimes, we Mom's just really need some alone time to concentrate on just oursleves for a little bit, even if it is only 45 minutes!

Have a great day & weekend!

Hey girls!

I'm back! I'm so sorry I was away for a while. There's been a lot going on. I had to go through a battery of medical tests and just got diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (found over a dozen cysts in each ovary), with a side order of Anemia and Hyperinsulinemia. It's treatable and I'm already on medication, but it explains so many of my symptoms - weight gain, hair loss, prolonged periods.

Doc says now I really need to lose weight, not just for vanity's sake but for my health! The medicatioin should help with my insulin resistance and a low carb diet and exercise will help speed things along.

Oh I need your support more than ever girls!

I missed you all! Can wait to hear from you again.

(((HUGS))) to you Mina & welcome back! I'm so sorry to hear about your sicknesses, but I'm glad to hear that you're under a DR's care & will be getting better! We're all here for you & ready to give you that much needed support!

It's a new week girls!! Let's do it!!

mammakisses

So far my day is going well, I am following my diet plan and I did spend lots of time outside playing with the kids. Walked for 25 minutes. Now we're cooling down inthe basement cause it's too hot outside. I think this is going to be a good week for me.

Congrats Sanifrey on the 5 pounds.

Hey Ladies !!! Hope all is well.....

Update... My mom now has to get an angiogram to find out the exact status on her aneurysm. Then we get to decide what to to... I guess the coil surgery wont work on hers as it doesnt have a narrow bottom. Also it is in the middle of a y brnch of arteries.......... Figures she wouldnt get the easy way !!

But I am doing good !! I got my job I had my physical today!!!

constancemwj

Hi everyone,
I hope you all had a great weekend...
Mina, so glad to hear you are back with us....We are here for you. We can all do this together....:flowerforyou:

Crystal, prays for your mom... Hang in there.... and congradulations on the new job, I'm really glad you got it....

keep moving ladies lets make this a great week....

sanifrey

Hey Ladies!

It'd be really great to see some more activity around here! Let's try to get some encouraging topics going!! What is everyone doing for workouts & how is everyone beating this summer heat??

I'm planning to take the girls out & letting them run around in the sprinkler a bit!! Good times!!

I've been using a great upper body workout dvd by the FIRM. The exercise combinations are really great!! I really do feel it the next day!!

Hang in there girls & keep goiing!!

mammakisses

I haven't been doing much workouts these days. I take walks with the kids, go for a swim with the kids and I do some sculpting about every 3 days. If I do to much and push myself I end up qutting. So I try to just keep myself active all day long. Sorry that wasn't very motivating. haha

mammakisses

Oh and yeah I do agree it's too quiet these days around here.

sanifrey

No, I think that's perfect!!

I think that making "exercise" part of our everyday routine is the key!! What better way to be active then spending time with your/our kids??!! I really do enjoy pushing the girls in the stroller, I get a great workout pushing a double stroller + 50 lbs of kids & we get to spend time together, talking about the weather, the animals, the people we see & meet, etc! Then we always round out the walk with a trip to our garden for some weeding & then playing on the swing set for a bit! Good times!! :drinker:

Keep up the good work MammaK!! :flowerforyou:

mammakisses

Okay so I just pushed myself a little bit more. I did a great sculpting workout of 40 minutes. Now I'm all sweaty and of course I feel great. Woohoo this is going to be such a good week for me.

constancemwj

Hi ladies,,,,

It's been a besy week...Getting ready for a yard sale this week end....
That has been my exercise this week.... Moving lifting & cleaning.....Yesterday we worked on the basement and made a zillion trips up and down the stairs...... I should have a good weightin this week that is if I don't blow it tomorrow. My home is a total mess with piles everywhere.....I can't wait for this weekend to be over. last night we had a big storm hit here with high winds that took out a whole section of my beautful fence..... I wanted to cry.:sad: :sad: ....7 panals in pices...So that will be my next week projects..... ( at lest I don't have to dig more whoIes)

For exercise, I'm sort of like you both...I'm not a big motavated exerciser. I just try to stay busy and keep moving all day......And then several day a week try to fight in some extra workouts, I like getting on the wii fit a couple times a week........ I love working in my garden, whick is now being over run with weeds because my house need my attachen right now. Tonight I tryed to get my daughter to go for a walk with me.....I ended up walking alone......I kind of miss those days when my kids always wanted to go with me...Enjoy it while it last!!!!!

who knows what I'll deside to do tomorrow????????:bigsmile:

sanifrey

Great job girls!! It's looking like it's just a few of us left keeping this thread going! I know there are many that have alot going on right now, but I sure do miss everyone! Thoughts & prayers for all of you that are struggling!

Don't forget .... LAST CHANCE WORKOUTS!!! Before tomorrow's weigh in!!

I'm on my TOM & I'm hoping to have things back to normal by the weigh in. I was up almost 5 lbs just the other day & today it was almost back to last week's weight. So, I'm hoping that I can behave & keep my sodium down that hopefully I'll show a loss this week.

Connie, you sure have been busy with your house!! That yard sale is going to be great! I was so sorry to hear about your fence though!! You've been working so hard on that thing! There's always something to do!! I really need to trim my hedges & pull out a stump from a bush we cut down last fall. By the time I get things cleaned up, it's fall & it's time to rake leaves again!

MammaK, good for you on making time for the sculpt video! Which one do you use? Are you feeling it today?? I love being sore (just a little) the next day! Let's me know it's working!!

Amanda, are you still on vacation?? We miss you!

Crystal, hugs & prayers!

Jenny, we miss you so much!! Hugs!!

Mina, are you feeling better yet?? We miss you!!

Everyone, come back! :bigsmile:
Have a great day girls! & Keep up the great work!! :drinker:

mammakisses

Oh it's wasn't a video I just joined the ab challenge, so I did the few ab exersices and a few for my arms and legs. I just pushed myself as much as I could.

Today is so hot outside it's hard to breath let alone do anything else. I will try to do some power cleaning in the basement where it's cooler and later tonight I really should weed my garden and then do my ab challenge. Maybe I'll fit in some cardio if I feel up to it.

sanifrey

WEIGH IN DAY!!

- I managed to stay the same - 148 - but I can't complain with it being my TOM this week! Hopefully next week will be better!! :drinker:

mammakisses

I'm smiling all the way to my ears, I lost 4.5 pounds. I beleive skipping my coffee helped me lose soo much. It was hard not getting my coffee in the morning but it is worth it now. I will continue and see if next week is as good for me. Oh and my BMI is now 29.7 so that means that I am no longer obese. Yippie!:happy:

Hay ladies,,,:flowerforyou:

I' m so exhausted,,,,,what a last couple of days.....Today was day one of my garage sale... and I was up early and running to get everything setup.. Sorry I forgot to weighin...So I just did it a couple minuts ago, right after I ate dinner and I think 'll wait until tomorrow morning instead.... never weight after dinner.

Great job Emilie.. 4.5lbs is wonderful....I know I didn't do that good this week but I should be down a couple of lbs, atleast I was when I stepped on the scale Wed.

Sandy don't worry next week will be better... It seems we have a good week and then a bad one and then a good one and then a bad one and so forth.....but we are getting there!!!!

Well I'm going to bed. tomorrow is another busy day and then clean up and then next week we go on vacation for a week....Yaaaaahhhhhhhoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

keep on moving!!

queenmina

Hi girls!

It's so wonderful to see the progress here... Mamakisses! YOU GO GIRL!

I haven't been working out this week because I've been adjusting to the meds... But I sure will shake my tailfeather this week. I miss my P90X.

You girls rock!

Mina

KZOsMommy

Hello Ladies!!!

Mina and Crystal great BIG HUGS to you both!!! Mina I hope that the meds get you feeling better!!! Crystal Congrats on the job and you and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers!

Sandy- I am still on vacation but back from camping so time to catch up I too am in my TOM and plus with camping there was no weight in for me this week. I did a lot of exercise while camping (walking, pulling kids in a wagon, swimming in the lake). Anyway back to my work out videos now!!

Connie- Have a great time on vacation going some where fun?

Mammakisses- Congrats on the great weight loss this week!

Ok time for me to start back on watching what I eat and working out twice a day!!! I am slipping and it is killing my beat I now only have until September 15th or so to lose the weight. And sadly I think I might be up a couple of pounds (which I am sure some is my TOM) and the fact that I have been slacking on my food intake. But NO MORE it WILL change RIGHT NOW!!!

Have a great night girls and keep kicking butt!!!
