Good Monday morning!
Thanks for the new thread, Ariel! You're doing good - don't get discouraged. Get out those 'before' and 'now' pics....see the difference? Stay focused on how healthy you look and feel.

I did good this weekend. I bought a scale and it shows I've lost 8 lbs since early March. I tried on a smaller size of jeans this weekend and they fit!!! I can tell I'm losing inches. yippee! I've been pretty stressed out with personal stuff and my appetite has decreased, so I'm guessing that's the explanation for the loss. I did some walking this weekend, but nothing big, so I've got to hit it hard this week to make up for the weekend. I want to buy a bike to ride and went and looked this weekend but didn't buy anything. I'm pretty sure I'll get one for Mother's Day.

Welcome, Shineshine! Happy to have you with us. You will enjoy the group - lots of motivating people who are eager to help you reach your goal! :happy:

Weekly goal: stay focused!!! Eat healthy, drink all my water - and exercise! oh yeah....and LOG daily! :laugh:

Hope everyone has a good day! :happy:

Good Morning,

Can I join this thread also?

My goal for May is to be under 200 by the end of it! I haven't been there in years, possibly 10, and I really want to get there. It is 7 pounds away. Might prove to be challenging since I am on vacation for a week the 16th, but I hope I can do it!

I was ok over the weekend, didn't do great on SAturday, but did really well yesterday and was down today. I know I will go over my calories today since I am really sore and will not be working out like crazy, which I normally do so I can eat what I want.

Hope Monday is going well for everyone!

WOW look at all of our new people. We are happy to have you here.

Ariel - do not get down on yourself. Be strong and keep up all of the work that you have been doing for the past few months. Everyone has a rough patch, just brush it off and move on. Don't worry about your pants size, look at how far you have some and how well they fit you.

Karen - I am so proud of your new jean size. YEAH

I was pretty good this weekend. I stayed with my calories (barely). I did 55 min (burn 3 and 20 min jam) on Saturday and I only got in 25 min of punch kick jam on Sunday because my son would not leave me alone. I did eat a blizzard on Saturday but I stayed within my calories and my husband wanted brownies last night, so I caved and made some, but I only had one serving. I made him take the rest to work so that I am not tempted this week. I also drank all of my water which is normally a challenge on the weekend.

I ordered me the Polar FT7 so that I can start keeping track of my calorie burn. It should be in on Wednesday so I can start seeing how much I have been off.

Overall I lost .5 pounds last week so not bad.

This morning I did Burn 1 and 20 min TJ for a total of 55 min. I have all of my food planned for the day and I should be under my calories.

Hope everyone has a good dat.

Keep up the great work and let me know how you like the Polar HRM!
Thanks, Kim. I had to check the size tag twice after pulling them up and zipping them without any problem...lol. It felt great!

Hello,
I'm new to the group! Hope its okay to join late. But I really want to kick my weight loss to next gear in the month of May. I've had a lot of personal things happnen the last few weeks. So I've gained about 5 lbs. But today is a new day and I'm ready to start losing again.
I'm going to start the Brazil But Lift program from BeachBody today, so I hope that will be good. I'm stuck in a hotel b/c there was a fire in my building (long story) so I think this will be perfect to be able to work out in the hotel room. I'll have to keep you guys posted on my progress.
The eating situation is going to be tought as I don't have a kitchen in the hotel. But I do have a mini fridge and microway, so I'll have to manage and do my best.
My goal for this month is to lose 10 lbs, to eat healthy, drink a gallon of water a day, and work-out 6 times per week.

jolinemariem

Hey i'v been gone for a while :ohwell: sorry. As far as food I am doing fine. Not so great on water:ohwell: and fine with exercise. I have lost an additional 2 pounds . So 175 starting weight:embarassed: , and i am at 162 now . 13 pounds down:bigsmile: . I'v come to the conclusion I can not log on everyday. But I will let you all know how i'm doing weekley.

Shineshine

I have a question...

Is there any easy way to check the messages on this board? I usually go to Cummunity->Motivation and Support-> find Team Fit-May. But it's hard to find this group. I am sure by the end of this week I will have to go to page 5-6 to find you.

I could do Search too. Any other ways?

ComfortFoodAddict

I just go to "community" then "my topics"

Candue

aabelein,
We are so close in what we weigh and what we want to lose. I think I'm a little older than you though (in my 40's). When I have this weight on, I feel my age. When I've lost it, I feel at least 20 years younger!

Keep trying, keep going!

Candue

Shineshine,
I was looking for one of those 'track this discussion' buttons but I don't think there is one. I use Explorer but all these browers have some sort of 'favorites' or 'bookmarks' button. The only problem is that it will take you to the page you bookmarked on and not the lates BUT at least you can find the thread easily.

Candue

I have to 'check in' on fitnesspal because I'm a few pounds more now and next week I'll probably lose! I was good yesterday, very good! Actually it was my second day of following a healthy diet and walking. I'd normally burn 700 calories in one workout easily but it's been so long that I'm lucky to walk. For us older gals, when you stop working out, you lose what you gained much faster.

So I'm checking in to say that I will follow a 1200-1300 cal plan with high protein; exercise 5 x a week; purchase good healthy foods, cook 2 times (doubling meals for later) this week; and set up an emergency plan when I feel like eating something bad.

Good luck to everyone!

aabelein

WOW! :bigsmile: I'm not used to all of these people! Welcome everyone! I'm glad you all want to be part of our little group! :drinker:

I'm kinda busy right now at work so I cant talk to everyone induvidualy but again welcome and I hope you find the motivation and support you need to get to your goals!!! :flowerforyou: :glasses: just let me know if you need any words of encouragment or support!!!

I wasn't able to exercise yesterday like I wanted because I had an interview to go to at 5 and when I was done I started dinner!! but it went very good so I'm excited! If I get it I will be making about 6k more a year!!!!! :glasses: :flowerforyou: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Let me get the job! hahaha but today I will be exercising and eating good.

today: 60 mins of exercise and 8 glasses of water. And I am going to get it all in. Not that my pants are fitting tighter or anything but I feel like I look like I've gained weight 9even though its only 3 pounds) So I gotta be good. if I want to look good in my bikinis this summer I have to! Because I look like crap still hahaha :laugh:

Anyone know any good exercise moves to help make your thighs not look so big?! Mine will be big no matter what because they are pretty much all muscle but I dont like it. They looks really wide. Theyre skinny from the side but wide from the front and hate it!!!!!

lmr9

Hi everyone! kholmes, DownSizin, and aabelein - I'm SO PROUD of your for sticking with this for so long!!! I've been off this wagon since the beginning of the year, but I'm going to do my best to get back on. It feels good to be back. See ya around! :flowerforyou:

gabyp0716

Hello All,

Monday - stayed under my calories, drank a lot of water but didn't get a work-out in like I had planned.

Tueday - started the morning with day 1 of the Slimdown program for the Brazil But Lift. Will be doing this 6 days straight and then I start the 4 week program on Monday. Looking forward to the results. I made sure to take my before pictures and did all my measurements so I can keep record on my improvement.

Keeping focus with my calories. The office is always full of yummy stuff, but I do my best to bring breakfast and snacks from home.

aabelein

gaby- what is the brazil butt lift!? it sounds like something i might wanna try :bigsmile: anything to make my butt better! haha

oh and i just had a 32 oz iced mocha :ohwell: my b. lol. good thing im going to the gym tonight! i am going to use the cross trainer for an hour! you burn sooooo many calories on that thing its insane! :glasses:

gabyp0716

Hey Aabelein,
The Brazil But Lift is a BeachBody work out program, I got it thru my BB coach who I met on MFP !
I recommend you check it out. Its only day one for me out of the whole thing, but so far it looks like fun. And doing two DVD workouts a day its still under one hour, so I do plan to hit the gym as well.
The best part is that it comes with a "booty blue-print" so you can use the workout calendar that better fits your needs.
If you are interested I'll keep you posted of how I'm doing.
