    I would like to join! I need the support and to be able to talk to someone that has been where I am now. I would like to lose at least 100lbs but, I really don't know how to diet without being hungry All the time. And the sweet cravings are out of this world!!!

    Thank you,
    Lisa

    Hey Lisa,

    Welcome to the team Lisa! 100 lbs may seem like an immense task but by taking it one pound at a time you can and will reach your goal. Lets get going and start getting you their!

    I would love to join in, if you will have me? I'm excited about the new year and making tons of changes to this aging body of mine.


    Hey Retrobaby,

    Welcome to the black team! I love the 80's myself. Accept that I was a little guy in the 80's so it less about flock of seagulls and more about thundercats for me. lol Anyhoo, Welcome to the team. Lets make this decade your new favorite by making the the decade that changed your life. We're glad to have ya!

    OOohhhhhh I am gonna load up on sodium for 3 days and weigh in so next week I WIN I WIN I WIN....BWAHAHAHAHA

    Oh wait! That is NOT what this is about???

    Hrmph.......Ok, I will go have my eggs and toast and water.......

    :laugh:

    I have been loading up on sodium for something like 11 days, so I will win.....bwahahahaha! (Truly, the only thing I will win is a hideous number on the scale that may make me gasp.)

    I wish I could have toast and eggs. I still have't gotten groceries since we got home. No eggs or bread in the house. I can have milk... and protein powder.... mmmm, breakfast. A banana would be nice, but don't have any of them either. I went to the commmissary yesterday and it was closed, couldn't make myself do Walmart, called the commissary again and it's still not open, Walmart may have to do!

    Oh that truly stinks. It is hard with nothing in the house. I realized this week that that is my downfall...........I MUST have healthy choices!! Now I want a smoothie........but thank God I do have the ingreds for that.

    Lori, you know you always gain during vaca..........and it comes right back off once you eat and drink clean. You will be fine. One week and you will be down 5-6 pounds, you know it!

    As for the working out earlier mentioned..........a trainer told me they work out 3 hrs a week, but to get those arms and abs she eats lots of protien and complex carbs. She also lifts VERY heavy.....I LOL when she did the sled machine with ALL the plates on it. This chick is 50, 5'2", 110 pounds and lifted prob 600 pounds with her legs...........freakish :laugh:

    Also she said the stuff we do with our body weight...........like push ups, squats and lunges are the key to beautiful sculpted arms.

    Oh and BTW............you are HOT just the way you are!!!!!!!!

    Jeannie! Are you throwing a temper tantrum?

    I donewannnnaaaa change my ticker either. Mine says FIFTY. I had been hovering there before Christmas, maybe only 49.... but I never changed it cause 50 was so purdy.

    I am going to change it. Weekly. Whether I like what it says or not. I will update on our first weigh in. It might make me want to cry, but it will be a good kick in the pants.

    I am so glad we are back and in full force. I need this. Even if it means I have to tell the 'truth' on my ticker. So be it.

    I won't make you change your tickers. I can't make any woman do anything. DW will tell you that. lol But I admire you guys for being honest with yourselves. I think adjusting the ticker for gains is just as important. Believe me, I wish mine still said 125 lbs lost. lol

    Or 56 and the 4 that takes four months to lose? Well, at least you'll probably drop some inches in those 4 months. :flowerforyou:

    Jeannie called me hot! Thank you sweetie! Yes, I take enough 'vacations' to know the drill, I'm not stressing this time.

    Oooohhh, I want a smoothie. Wish I had yogurt. :laugh: It is really hard to eat well when the food is not around.

    As for the training thing with Jillian- guess if I had less body fat my arms and abs would pop more too. I'm trying, can't get rid of the stuff!

    I don't lift sissy weights, but I don't leg press 600 pounds either. My knees couldn't take that. I am going to work my legs more and harder, it's a goal. I avoid legs. As for my arms and chest, I usually chest press between 50-65 pounds, do curls with 30-40 pounds. I never pick up a dumbbell less than 15 pounds for any exercise I do out in the gym. In classes when the instructor says heavy and light weights, most women get 5's and 8's. I get 10's and 15's.

    See, I'm not twirling around those 3 and 5 pound q-tip weights...... LOL! For the record, No, I'm not making fun of light weights, they are beneficial too, but I want ripped arms so I work for them!

    For me changing my ticker is going to have to be part of it. Weekly accountability. Even though I weigh almost daily, I only change my ticker once a week on oficial weigh in day.

    I have gotten much better with doing heavier weights on my upper body along with the push-ups, but I don't use nearly as much weight as I can (or probably should) for my legs. I am too afraid to get injured and mess up my running. :cry:

    Need to fly for now-- later team!
