BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!! :drinker:
Depending on the area it feels different. Parts of mine felt like a razorblade, and other parts did feel like a lot of (stinging) ants. Be very proud of yourself for enduring!0 -
Lol Thanks songbyrd, yea I kept thinking when are the endorphins or adrenaline going to kick in?!? lol But I stuck it out, just squeezed my leg pretty hard at times lol. Finally after it was done and I'd paid and was driving away in the car it hit me, I'd gotten a tattoo!!! And I had to let out a little yell of joy lol. I don't know if I'll get more, it took me years to decide on this one but we'll see!!0

LOVE the tattoo! Glad you were able to get through it...I can only imagine how it felt closest to your wrist...that's how it was with the one on my foot...the closer he got to the toes...the more painful it was! But like I said...I have 3 so...I'd agree with your hubby...they are addicting ;-)0 -
YEAH!!! I weigh myself every morning and this morning my weight was 135.2!!!!!!!!! I haven't seen 135 in about 2 years!!! For some of you I know that may not seem like a feat but....on average since high school (10 years ago) I've stayed around 128-130 and then in the last few years I've just let go and accepted 135 as ok for me and then 140 was ok (well no it wasn't but that's where I was) and then when I hit 146 last spring I freaked out! so...to see 135 was SO refreshing...my work is paying off...and it's SO motivating

That is huge and a hell of a way to start a Friday :drinker: I am going to weighing in my self here in a few:ohwell: I never do good on the scale but my clothes are all getting way loose so...I'll take it!! Congrats.0 -
Ok, so I didn't get much of a work out in yesterday...had a music program for the kids, but I did go up and down our stairs about 20 times so at least thats something. Today is my 200 sit-ups plus cardio from home, I am hoping ot make 3 miles on the treadmill, I have however been a rock star on my eating. Last night I did cave and had a soda, I had a migraine that my meds weren't touching and sometimes it helps to have caffeine!!! It worked so thats ok, didn't put me over on cals at least.
Hope everyone has a good morning0 -

Way to go!!! I'd kill to see 135, I'm so SICK of seeing 141.. I'm about to go weigh myself so we'll see, I'm hoping the first two numbers are 13... lol
Oh and yea I was already thinking about other tattoos as I was falling asleep last night lol they are addicting!! Its like once you've got one and know what it feels like its not so intimidating anymore.
Edit-
So I weighed myself and stil 141.8... However I started jillians 30 day shred and weighed myself on monday and was 144... ugh... but I'm sure it was some muscle and some water retention since I had a bad weekend. So I guess its good to be back down to 141 but I just want to be in the 130s already!!!! My fat percentage did go down a point but I don't really believe my scale because so many factors can affect it so I dunno. Its so discouraging to not see numbers dropping on the scale. I see a difference in my body but still ugh0 -
Yahoo! Just weighed in and lost another 2 pounds! That puts me on the cusp of no longer having a BMI in Obese catagory. Actually, it's 30.0, so I'm in both Overweight and Obese ranges. I'm so excited!

Haha I knew that would happen!! I already have the rest of my tatts planned out, I just need to money for them all now hehe. I'm planning on getting my next one in January. It will be the Adinkra symbol for Ananse the Spider on my left shoulder. What I have now is the Adinkra symbol that means 'he who does not know can know from learning.' Ananse symbolizes wisdom, creativity, and the complexities of life, and he is also a teacher, which is why I'm getting that when I start my TA position.
Well this morning I weighed myself after my cardio session (during which I drank water) and I was 132.2. Finally out of the darn 133's!0 -
I finally found something that works for me I guess!! I lost 2.6 lbs in the last week I have starting eating my exercise calories, guess I needed them!!!
Finally I feel like this all has a point!!!!0 -

So I went to go running yesterday but it was a very hard day for me...my hamstrings hurt and it was just hard. I may have overworked myself. Anyway so I pretty much walked the hour. Today I'm taking it off...although I am going shopping so there is my exercise for the day. This weekend I will again do some running.0

It's day 25 of my challenge (burn at least 500 calories everyday for 30 days) and it is getting more and more difficult to see this challenge through BUT my workout is complete for today. It was actually completed by 8:30 am but couldn't post because I got real, real busy with work. I finally had a minute so decided to check on in. Well today was boot camp and our instructor had a little surprise for us. Instead of our usually grueling workout today we were treated to an hour of Yoga. While we clearly were strengthing our muscles my heart rate did not get very high so I knew I would have to head to the gym directly after class to ensure I burned at least 500 calories. I got to the gym and hopped right on the elliptical machine for 65 minutes and was able to burn a total of 637 calories.
Today was also our unit holiday luncheon and I am proud to announce that I DID NOT OVER INDULGE. I had some turkey (white meat), green beans, stuffing (1/2 cup) and toss salad. Despite there being peach cobbler, red velvet cake, apple and sweet potato pie to choose from I CHOSE NOTHING! I also chose not to eat the rolls, corn bread or baked macaroni & cheese. Today was definitely a good day.0 -

That's good to have someone check!! I made my public on here so that if I complain about no lbs coming off people can call me on my eating!!
I do a boot cap 3 days a week also, but it is coming to an end

I only have 3 more days left. Next Friday is our last weigh in, measurements and fit test. I'm really curious to see what kind of difference it's made. I'm considering taking the next session which begins January 4, 2010 but need to see where it will be located since our current site is officially closing it's doors our instructor has to find another spot. It's too cold (for me) to consider doing this outside, so, that's not a real option.
How long have you been participating in your boot camp?0 -
Hey all...I worked out really hard today...30 min fasted cardio in the AM, then an hour of lifting (full body) after work followed by 20 more minutes of cardio. Rough on 1500 cals. Tomorrow I'm getting my body fat tested in the AM, and then having a refeed day. It's my last day of G28K!0
-
So I haven't done any working out today, and i feel like crap... ugh... I'm at least going to do the 30 Day Shred before I go to bed because I'm committed to doing everyday of Dec except Christmas. Hopefully I keep going and do my other two workouts as well... we'll see. I hope everyone had a better day than me =(0

I'm still here. I have been staying within my nutrition goals and am making some progress on the scale. However, I still need to get back on track with exercise.0

I'm getting my body fat tested today!
Also, I weighed in and I am down to 132. So I lost 1.4 lbs this week. :noway:
Also lost 1/4 inch off my inner thigh!
Ha! Take THAT, you stupid plateau!

I am still working to get the last two columns to display (Total Change and Total % Lost), but this should get us started. If everyone posts their weight tomorrow, I will try to get the chart updated. I will also change the date to 12-13-09.

Hey! Just got back from the gym. I got my BF tested, then did 20 min. elliptical and a TON of stretching. I can barely walk today. I may have to postpone my run until tomorrow. :ohwell:
Anywho, I'm about to do some math....
In July I weighed 129.6 lbs and was at 31.4% body fat. I had 40.6 lbs of fat and 80 lbs of lean tissue (muscle, bone, organs, skin).
5 months later I have been through a higher calorie phase and I'm back to cutting now (these cycles usually last about 8 weeks each). I weight 132 lbs and am at 28.9 % body fat. I have 38.1 lbs of fat and 93.9 lbs of lean tissue.
Nifty! However, these aren't concrete. Does that mean I gained muscle and lost fat at the same time? No. Does that mean I gained 13.9 lbs of muscle in 5 months? Heck no. But it does give me a general indication that I have gained SOME muscle mass at some point in time, and then at a *different* point in time I lost some fat mass. But these are JUST numbers and I have to take them with a grain of salt to show me a general trend. If I had my BF taken yesterday when my weight said 133.4, I would've come up with something totally different. I'm still happy to see a change though! I can definitely see it in the mirror.0 -

Do you get your body fat tested with a. Caliper? I do, and they never ask for my weight. Just curious.0
