    Hey ladies!!!!

    I joined a gym yestereday!!!! It's not a big fancy gym, but it has a track, treadmills, bikes, and weights. What's better is the price, it is only $40/year for my whole family!!!!! The gym is a part of a church and their indiv membership is $5 a month. So I was able to get a workout in yesterday, yeah me!!!! I won't get a good one in today because I have a late meeting at work today, but hopefully I can get in something. My calories were great yesterday!! I'm hoping to lose 1 dress size by Oct. 17th for my best friend's wedding so I'll keep you posted on my progress.

    I hope everyone has a great week!!!!

    Checking in, down 1/2 pound from last week, yeah! Slowly but surely:tongue:

    Guess I never gave my history. I am 36 years old and have 3 boys, 9, 5 and 3. I work p/t as a medical transcriptionist so am on my seat for awhile everyday. This gives me motivation to get up and moving!
    I want to lose about 10 pounds and doing it real slow so I don't crash and burn, want to lose about 1/2 pound a week.

    Way to go everyone this week!!

    I've noticed the same thing with me. I tend to drop weight every two weeks. I'll go for days and either be up a little, or stay the same, then after two weeks I'll be down 2 pounds. It is crazy - but as I've come to realize it it is easier to keep on track through the slow times.

    Good morning ladies!!!

    I didn't get to the gym after all yesterday but that's okay I don't think I was really expecting it. But my last night was exciting. I had to take my auntie to the ER because it turns out she broke 4 out of the 5 bones in her foot last night (she was trying to catch her dogs before they ran away and she tripped in a hole). Subsequently I didn't get home until 2am and I'm really tired today. But maybe that can work to my advantage and I can take 5 to 10 min a couple times today to walk around and wake up a bit.

    I hope everyone has a great day today. :happy:

I didn't think I would make it through but I did so yeah me!!!!!

    Morning Ladies :smile:

    leshawnturner: So sorry to hear about your Aunt, hope she heals quickly. That is a great workout! Do you have No More Trouble Zones too? I really like all the workouts that Jillian has been putting out lately.

    Ladies, If you have Exercise TV, try out Less is More Cardio with Cindy Whitmarsh! :love: WOW is all I can say. 30 min of intense cardio. Reminded me of a shorter version of Jillians Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. :love: At the end of this workout I was drenched with sweat!

    ok, so I have a confession to make. When I shared my story a couple weeks ago, I left out a part...

    Like I said before, I have two babies who I love with all my heart. My oldest turned four yesterday and my baby girl was 2 on july 9. That being said, I have been having baby fever for several months, and my DH and I decided that, when I was ready, we would try for another.

    Well, part of me being ready was to lose down to below 200 lbs before trying. So I have an amazing motivator, but the weight is not coming off at all!! grrr...at least not how I would like it to.

    I suspect part of the problem to be my IUD, which has a small amount of hormone in it. So I made an appointment for Sept 9 to get it removed and we'll see if that helps with the weightloss. I'll use a nonhormonal method in the meantime.....so there it is....my confession....we are going to try for another baby soon.....YEAH!! I am so excited, but I really want to lose more first......it feels like it will take FOREVER though.......grrr....
