Okay i just had my boyfiend to add me to his gym membership and it's a pretty basic gym. They have treadmills, stationary bikes, eliptical machines, free weights, ab and leg machines, various other machines that i'm not quite sure what they do and they also offer free classes like ab attack, cardio and core, core stretch, sculpt and burn, strength and tone, kick boxing, cardio blast, abs & back...

Basically I have no clue what i should start out doing... would you guys recommend i go to any of those classes at first. All i've ever done is walk/jog. I have never really worked out any other way...

What do ya'll do when you go to the gym?

I have a great workout that I could send you or post here for everyone that my trainer gave me. It is a 4 day work out and really burn the calories too!!

I would love for you to post that! I welcome any and all suggestions!

Okay so I had a horrible week and it really shows in my weigh in. I ate completely off diet and due to my sister being in the hospital for surgery mon and tues I was unable to work out and by wed i was too tired. I did do 2 miles yesterday but the great thing about losing weight is that you can start new everyday. This is a lifestyle change so I'm not going to let this week get down.

Hi Lauryn,
Sorry for what you are going through this week.
You definitely have the right attitude though. You can't quit this because there is nothing to quit. It's not a diet it's just your life now.
Keep your head up girl. You'll see 199.9 before you know it :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Hi all
last week 208
today 205
goal 150


Think I will be no exercise for several weeks I can barely walk. after hurting myself last night. I have a phone call into one of my orthopedic surgons friends to check out my x-rays. the amount of pain I am having and not being able to walk much there must be some damage.
better note I had increased my water intake 5-6 glasses per day to about 12. maybe that is why I saw a big weight loss this week have a great day ladies I will check back often since I can only sit and be on computer, read or watch tv.

Well I've got good news and bad news.
I'll start with the bad news...I didn't lose anything this week
But the good news is that I DIDN'T GAIN.
Sooo
I am the same.... at 172.2

I am confused. On saturday and sunday I was down to 170.3...How possible is it for me to gain 2 lbs thru the week and then the weekends are my best???? I just don't get it. Oh well. Starting fresh this weekend and next week.
DEFINITELY gotta get more exercise in and better food choices I am heading out of town this weekend with my roomie. We're heading to her home town (also where my parents live)...Wish me luck with healthy eating choices this weekend! I know I won't be getting any exercise in

Mornin' everyone!

It's Friday... I was hoping to have lost all the extra weight I had gained last week but didn't. However, I'm feeling much better and have been active all week so I'm happy :happy: I have been doing pretty good with the water challenge. Getting 60-80oz a day and that's much better than before.

CW: 170.2

pmortlip: I hope you're okay and nothing major is wrong. Heal fast and I hope you feel better soon!

I'm not sure why this happens but last time I lost a lot of weight (before I gained it all back... let's not go there) I would weigh everyday. I noticed that Mon and Tue I would gain weight and then by Thur I would loose 1-3 lbs. It's strange but I ended up making Thursdays be my weigh in day. Of course, before I was doing Body-for-Life and Sat. was usually my cheat day. So maybe you do good through the week and it shows on the weekend. Not sure if that helped at all but at least you know you're not alone.

No weight loss for me this week. Still at 126.

Week 3 4/30 194.6 -1

This week sucked so big time for me (and from your posts, sounds like I wasn't the only one).
I have no-one to blame but ME! I could post a thousand excuses as to the why's of my failures, but I'm not going there.
Bottom line, I ate too much and didn't workout to my usual degree of days or intensity.
Still...I did shake a pound off of last weeks number so I'll take it.
Tomorrow is May 1st and the beginning of a new month and goals for me.
I want to lose 10 lbs by May 31st.
I need to sit down today and really take a hard look at what my strategy will be.
I'm a planner by nature, you know the type...we make lists upon lists of our goals. I want to check some of the off in May.
pmortlip....take it easy with that injury, sounds really painful. I do hope you feel better soon :flowerforyou:
Halloweenmom....so awesome to see that huge chunk you lost this week. I think you're in the lead....way to go.
Cris...I'm not doing great on the water challenge. It's the only liquids I drink...no sodas, ever....but I can't choke down that much water in a day. I am pleased that I am way more aware of the benefits due to your post, and although I have upped my intake, I can't see myself drinking 12 cups a day.
Great to see so many losers this week.
It's only week 3 on our thread...anything can happen in the coming weeks. Let's keep the focus up and take the intensity up a notch for May!!!

I didnt start my diet until Monday and that's when I first weighed myself, however I have lost 3lbs since then, so I hope next week it will be a better result, as I will have 2 additional days to lose to catch up to the group.

Chris - Water challenge has been ok, I have definately upped my intake of actual water although like Shredder I am also struggling to consume 12 cups...but your challenge has helped me see that I need to drink more.

I look forward to the next challenge

So you know how they say women all sync in their cycles... It's pretty amazing that so many of us from so far away are on the same track... So my week was pretty good actually... It's my TOM as well... but for some reason I seem to loose during these times.. EVEN though I've cheated many times this week.. *tisk tisk* ex. I had some smartie icecream along with my morning snack one morning... Yesterday I had 2 timbits... OMG did you know those little things pack 60cals each! But even with all my wants to eat and eat and eat some more, I was pretty good and finally I've seen some movement in my weight. I have gone down for FOUR.... count'em 4 days in a row!

WEEK 3 WEIGH IN

SW 190
HH&F SW 165
CW 161.6!!! (which I think is almost 2lbs!)
GW 130...but I'd probably be happy with 140

GOALS
I think I'm rocking in the water challenge, I have a water bottle that I drink 3 times, and it has 28oz for a total of 84oz. Then on top of that I have a glass during dinner which is another 16oz aprox.

Almost every day this week, I have ellipticaled, min of 10min up to 30min per day. Plus I have a dvd I've been using that does belly, buns and thighs for a total of 30min and before that I pop in another dvd for warm-up dance for 10min.

So over all... I'm pretty happy with myself. I start my new old job on Monday, 8-4:30 so I'm excited to have a more consistent schedule.

Have a great weekend everyone! Work hard and live well!

ComfortFoodAddict

Okay... I am am ubber excited to tell my weight today! I do believe that my major gain last week was due in part to the fact that I weighed after lunch last week.... So this week's weight:

CW: 171!!! loss of 4lbs from last week!

I hope that next week that second digit can be a 6 ....

JU5t4u- I was going to say the same thing... I am in sync with everyone too! Even though this is my 2nd-count it 2nd- TOM for April ughh!

I rocked the water challenge! No suprise though cause I typically only drink water. My boyfriend calls me his beautiful fish lmao!

I wanted to share something that happened to me last night at the gym... One, I got there early so I went to the outside track and ran/walked laps.... while doing this, the back of my workout pants kept slipping down!!!! Same thing was happening in my Aerobics class... Great news! Except for the fact that I just ordered a new pair of workout pants in the same size.

Another positive, I had a really cute, muscle bound, guy at the gym say "Damn, that *kitten* is fine!" I acted offended-cause I like to be talked to like a lady- but inside I was tickled pink!!!!! My boyfriend will not hear about this though haha...

Sorry for those having a bad week... I know it sucks! I had mine last week. Good luck to everyone for next week!

Shredder- I am a planner as well! I am making a goal of 10lbs for May 31st (my birthday!) Since I didnt make my April goal Starting on the workout/food schedule right now!

CW - I am not really sure what my CW is, and that is because the scale said yesterday that I was 152.2. Then this morning when I stepped on the scale it said 151.6, I was totaly excited. So to check it I kept stepping on it and it said that same thing. Then I walked to the bath room to get something and back to my bedroom. And I decided to check one more time, just to be sure and it said 153.2. So I really don't know what my wight is. I am going to mark is at 153 this week, I would really love it to be 151.6 because my mini goal is to be under 150 by next my trip which is next Thur.

Week 3 Weigh-in

I'm back sorry I missed last week, but I'm back from my vacation and good to go. I didn't quite meet my mini goal that I set two weeks ago but I am still very proud of myself. While on vacation I went to the gym and worked out 5 of the 7 days that I was gone. Yay me! And I was able to lose a little, so still very happy with my progress. I started the 200 sit-up challenge yesterday. I downloaded the iPhone app and it's pretty awesome. Thanks for the challenge Anyway I'll stop babbling and give you my stats:

No change for me =(

Still 142.

It's TOM for me, too! I'm bummed because I just know I'm not going to be in the shape I want to be in for summer. I'm not being as consistant with my P90X workouts as I should (school, work, family, buying house....), I need to stop with the excuses and get on it! If I had more money, I would just go and get it sucked out of me!!!!!:ohwell:

Happy Friday everyone! A word of inspiration.... (I hope) and something I tell myself when I get tempted....my new favorite saying:
"Tomorrow begins today". At the very least, it makes me stop and think before I over-indulge and/or it gets me back on track when I do. I am a classic yo-yo and was actually 30 lbs lighter last summer. I loved the feeling of not carrying around the extra weight, (even though I had much more to lose). Well I am down 3 lbs for the week.... and tomorrow begins today. So good luck this week ladies!
