While I am happy about my weight today, I am very sad. I am being laid off. Today is probably my last day here at this office. I love this company and soooooo do not want to leave. On a positive note, at least I didn't binge last night. I am usually a stress eater, but I kept it under contrl. Imagine that!
Have a good day everyone! Love ya guys!

Awe Memaw ... I'm sorry to hear you'll be laid off of a job you enjoy ... here's to better things on the horizon. Best wishes are sent your way.

Hang in there, you will get there. Maybe you need a jump start. Switch up your workouts a little. Zigzag your calories too, that will help. Keep up the great work. :bigsmile:

Iffer75

jjtonic- OMG girl those pic of you are AWSOME! GREAT job:flowerforyou: Did you do Power90 first or just start with P90x? What do you need to do these dvd's, just weights? If you don't mind me asking what size weights do you use and how many days a week do you workout? Thanks I am ready to place my order

I just started out with P90X. It might have been better if I started with Power 90, but I did get through it. I feel great. You will need a pullup bar (or you can use their resistance bands with a door jam attachment), free weights, mat and a heart rate monitor. My free weights are 3, 5 and 10 pounds. During Phase 3 I really needed to up my weight on quite a few different workouts, but stuck it out with these. For the next round I will get 7.5, 12.5 and 15 pound weights also. You will workout 6 days a week and on your 7th day you can use it as your rest day or you can do the X Stretch. I highly recommend doing the Stretch, because it is amazing. I love the program and am really excited about starting another round. Let me know what you decide then we can talk more about it and I would like to see how you like it.
Are you currently on a workout routine? Do you consider yourself to be in decent shape? Then P90X might be the place to start. If not then I would definetly suggest starting with Power 90. I have not done that one, but I hear it is a great pre-requisite to P90X. Let me know.
Have a fantastic week. :bigsmile:

Here's a big hug for you, meemaw.

Awe Memaw ... what a nice little token from your boss ... I bet you'll be missed there.

So ... for an update ... today hasn't been too bad so far ... and I have a chilli in the crock pot for supper tonight. Yesterday was a bad day for eating ... I just couldn't get full ... I hate those days. Went over by a good 500+ calories. Oh well ... what's done is done. I'm going to try and have better control tonight. I have so much to do at home that I find myself eating to avoid it ... there ... now I've confessed it ... now it's behind me. I wish you all healthy and happy days.
