I have been loving going to the gym. Was ill Tues and Wed of this week so didn't go but planning on going today after work.
I have been exercising daily usually 2 miles walked in 20 minutes at 5:30am, walking a mile or more in 20 minutes on my lunch hour at work and then going to the gym 3 days a week and one or two times during the weekends.0 -

GOOOAAAALLL!!!!! - Met my weight goal!!! 159.6 this morning...and I can do a few regular pushups - nothing too exciting :ohwell: ....next goal is 154 (my trainers goal weight for me) - but I am perfectly satisfied where I am - if I can keep my self in the 155 - 160 range that will work!!! Maybe build some more muscle and lose some body fat %.

I'm in! I am currently 179.4 and would like to be 170 before Valentine's Day. I will continue my meal plan, but make better, healthier choices and add more fresh fruits and vegetables. I will be more diligent with my exercise. I will remember to use my weights!
Update: I am now 175.8 and am now shooting for 165 before Valentine's Day. I am still concentrating on my healthy eating and going to try each day to walk at least 5 minutes longer than I did the day before. So long as it doesn't reach 3 hours a day, I'm good. lol
Well I am at 168, and don't think I will make that 165 mark in three days either. My exercise has slacked off some because of problems with my left hip/leg and all the cold, rainy, windy days we have had. I could have popped in a DVD, but I got lazy. At any rate, I am still eating right and had a fabulous visit with my surgeon and dietitian last week. I was told I have accomplished more in 4 months than most do in a year. (I started at 246, but was 218 the morning of my surgery--since my rny four months ago I have lost 50 pounds.) Will try harder with my exercise in the future!0 -
Not gonna hit my goal cause I am in a stall... Current weight 201.20

Didn't make the goal I wanted to. I am so close! Personal weight goal is between 130-140 but seems like these last few pounds aren't going away. I wonder how much my loose skin is weighing and if this is why and my body has found it's set point weight for my 5'4" height?
Been sick with strep throat and missed work on Mon and Tues of this week but did get to the gym on Sunday but haven't been back since. I hope I can get there this weekend once I get over this sickness.
Congrats to those that did make their V Day goals!0 -
Made goal weight - 160+ lbs - can do 5 real pushups and lost 3 BMI points - and running my 2nd 1/2 marathon this Sunday!!! Great job everyone!!! Very proud of all you have accomplished!0

Well I didn't make it to goal but I did loose 10lbs and I am feeling pretty good about that! :-)0
