    amylou- !! haha another amy hahaha ! :) happy to have you here too ! good luck with school ... and CHURCH was inspiring here yesterday too ! every week they seem to preach on topics I NEED ! its amazing how they touch you for the week ahead!

    It always amazes me how many times the sermon will speak to me. I'll never forget one Sunday many years ago when we were trying to have a baby but weren't successful, I went to church particularly upset about it. The statement that was made several times during church was that everything is in God's time and his time is perfect. I try to say that to myself whenever I'm starting to get impatient about something. And, of course, I got pregnant in God's time BOTH times! It took 1 1/2 yrs w/ my son, and not trying got pregnant w/ my daughter. His timing was perfect with her as well since I had so many problems with my pregnancies and had her before turning 30. I was told the problems increase in severity after 30.

    Well, no trim pieces on the floor yet. It was raining all day yesterday, so they couldn't get the trim pieces. They would need to be cut outside since our garage & our neighbor's garage were both too full to do the cutting inside. DH said he's going to see about getting them done tonight after work. I know his track record. It will be this weekend before he can work on them. :cry: So no treadmill or exercise DVD for me. I'm hoping the weather is nice the rest of this week so I can walk Tue, Thu & Fri to pick up the kids from school.

    Hello ladies,
    I would love to join this group, you all seem like such a supportive bunch & that is very hard to find. A little about me: I am 27, been married for almost 7 years (Feb. 26th :smile: ) I have a son who is almost 6 & a daughter who will turn 2 in April. I am a SAHM & I love it, it was a decision that my dh & I made together. On my wedding day I weighed an amazing 123.5 lbs, 2 pregnancies later I am at a terrible 200.6 lbs, I gained most of the weight if not all during my pregnancies. My husband & I would love to get pregnant this year, but I want to lose weight first, I NEED to lose weight first.
    I have PCOS & it's really hard to lose the weight alone so I go to a nutritionist every Sunday ( he has a family issue so he hasn't been working for the past 2 weeks) After my first week I lost 6 lbs, but I haven't seen him since so I'm not sure where I am at exactly, I think the same.
    I can't wait to get to know you all better & lose weight with you. I will do my best to stay focused on my goal & I will be as supportive to you as I can be. I will try to help you through your bad days & hope that you will help me through mine :flowerforyou:

    Hello beautiful ladies!

    Sorry I can't do personals today. So busy. Very crampy (almost two weeks now). Scared about going to GYN tomorrow as I hate being examined while having massive cramps, but maybe it's the perfect time to go so he can tell me what the HECK is going on. (Sorry, feeling a little frustrated and exhausted over here).

    You guys sounds like you are right on target with life. I'll keep peeking in. Hope life is treating you all well.

    Here's to hoping for lots of success for our weigh-in tomorrows (ali I'd bet money you are on target, you've been doing so great. What an awesome dedication and inspiration)

    Have a wonderful rest of the day!

    C25k Week 1 Day 3 done! Today I was feeling adventurous and decided to do my walk/jog in the neighborhood behind my apartment complex. I've walked back there a few times before, but I don't know the roads very well. It's hard to get lost because they all loop around back to the same place, but I somehow managed to do 2 miles almost completely uphill. I checked in my car after I got back home because I thought maybe I was just going crazy. But the good thing is, I did all of my jogs. I had to walk a little longer one time (because I had just jogged up a hill and then walked up a bigger one and thought I might fall over if I kept jogging up the big hill) but then I did an extra jog, but I got them all in. So, that means I need to get out of the house soon, or I will start eating like a crazy person. Does anyone else do this? What do you eat after a harder workout? I've tried lots of different things -- veggies, cheese, graham crackers and peanut butter, candy -- but none of it makes me feel satisfied and I end up eating twice the calories that I worked off. It doesn't last all day, just for about an hour or so after I get back from working out.

    B and Amy S -- did you do your C25k today? How did it go?

Will try to do even more on WEdnesday ! :) !!!!! its hard to push the stroller and jog hahahah never thought about that becuz ive NEVER jogged before hahah ! but it felt good !

    HEY GUYS! I AM AWAKE, REFRESHED, and ALERT!

    Okay

    Alison and Amy S, I did in fact do Week 1 Day 1 of my C25K today! I did all of the jogging sets, and surprisingly didnt get too out of breath, I ended up doing 1.88 miles, and I burned 250 Calories!!!! In the last jogging interval I kicked it up to 7.0 MPH, yay! Keep in mind I did this after an HOUR long Zumba class (which REALLY kicked my butt, I havent got all the steps down but I sure had a blast!!!) I have no clue how many calories I burned in Zumba, If I decide to keep doing the classes I am going to have to invest in a heart rate monitor and a pair of those hip hop dance shoes! haha.

    I had Mr. Pita chicken pita for lunch, and 2 tbsps of hummus and a greek pita for a snack. I am doing sooo great today! I have class from 6-9, then Im going to come home do a little homework and pass out again, I really am super tired! haha.

    Now time for Personals!!!!!!!

    Amy S.- haha They make these super awesome jogging stollers, if you decide that you are going to do a lot of jogging you could look into getting one! One of the families I used to nanny for had one for two infants (she had twins first then an third child that was unexpected). And I was VERY tired haha, I still didnt sleep very well though :yawn:

    Alison- I was EXTREMELY hungry after my work out this morning, but mainly because it had been over 8 hours since I had ate! haha I forgot to eat my banana before leaving the house. My mom gets that way though, normally I think she just eats a meal with all that she needs like, a protein, a veggy, and maybe one third thing. then goes and gets busy. Im not sure though, AND YOU GO GIRL!! Congrats on finishing WEEK 1!!!!!

    Lula- GOOD LUCK at the GYN tomorrow! I really hope he figures out whats going on with you!!!!!!!!!!!!! You deserve a break!!!!!!

    Tamm - What level of Step do you do!?!? I took a step class last semester and absolutely loved it!!!

    Kristin- You will find those abs!!! haha Glad to hear you had a pretty decent weekend!!

    Moonq8- Welcome!!!! You are going to love these women, They are Super supportive!!!

    amypyr - Boo to no Tredmill work out! I certainly hope he gets it done before the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if not I pray you have good weather!!!

    cathy - woohoo for you that your son went back home, and dont you hate severe storms! Sometimes I still feel like im a little kid and I want to crawl into my parents bed I get so freaked out!

    amylou- hey girlie! How is school? and blah to bad days, but yay for a new day!!!

    Kel- BOO to blisters! YAY for going out dancing! Did you go to a normal club, or what!??! I love going to the clubs with my friends, But I would REALLY love to learn how to do some type of ballroom dancing mainly one of the latin dances and then go out and dance haha!

    Crappers I have to go to class now, so if I missed anyone I am super sorries! You are in my mind, and btw Welcome all newbies!!!

    evening...

    welcome moon.

    under my cals, but, didn't eat good food. we shall see what the scale shows tomorrow. don't expect anything. won't be suprised if there is a gain. i wish the doc could figure out why. i burned over 4500 calories this week and only had one day over cals. and as of this morning i had a gain. he wanted me to lose 3#s in this month. i don't know if it's going to happen. maybe he will find out why. i have been writing everything done.

    well, it's shower and jammie time. remember tomorrow is weigh in day.
    look for the new thread with week 2.
    copy and paste list. move yourself to the upper section. put in your cw and your progress.
    the upper section is those who have checked in the lower is for those who haven't.

    night

    Hi Sixers, sorry for the short post but my head has been throbbing due to a sinus infection. You all are doing great at posting and it is inspiring, good job!! I am under cals for the first time in a week, got in a 40 minute elliptical interval workout then my head ache only allowed me 40 minutes of the P90X Yoga X workout! I will weigh sometime tom. but I am treating my self to a day at the salon whoo hooo!:happy: Going to get my hair trimmed, washing out the grey stuff, a manicure and a pedicure! I was scheduled for last week but I had to reschedule for tomorrow cuz that was the day of the funeral:cry: .I get up at 5a.m to do my workout then i need to stop at the school cafeteria where I relief cook and show them how to make Spanish Rice then I am off for my pampering, so I do not know when I will be back. At least they opened the roads today after our weekend of blizzards! Talk tomorrow and best wishes girls! Whoops forgot to say "WELCOME to the SIXERS" newbies, we are glad to have ya!

    Hey ladies!!

    Everyone ready for weigh-in tomorrow?? I'm hoping I am!! I need to get back on my workout schedule. So impressed with those of you doing C25K, I have started it a couple times but just haven't stuck with it, maybe I need to get back on that track!!!

    Okay...tackling personals!!!!

    Verda - ugh, i have such bad sinus problems so I totally know where you're coming from! And yay for a salon day!! That is my absolute favorite indulgence!!

    Amy (ls) - Yes all of us Amys have to stick together!! haha! And look at you, pushing the stroller with C25K?? Nice work girl!!

    Kel - nice job with the Shred!!! That continues to be one of my favorite DVDs!!

    Cathy - I hope you get something figured out with your doctor and whatever may be going on there. And of course you always keep up on the boy don't you?! Not much has changed there, so we'll see, a lot up in there air right now with me still job searching. I'll be sure to keep you posted!

    B - School is good, just busy and i'm SOOOOO ready to be done! Your gym sounds AMAZING!!!! I've always wanted to play more tennis, sounds like so much fun!!

    Alison - my absolute favorite after workout snack is raw almonds and raisins. I have to be really careful with the portion sizes though because they are pretty high calorie snacks. But usually it doesn't take much to quench that workout hunger.

    Lulabelle - ugh, cramps are the worst!! I hope you get to feeling better!!

    Tiff - Hey girl! Your lunch sounds wonderful!! Way to avoid the cookies!!!

    Kristin - sounds like a super busy work day!! Way to keep at it!!! Love seeing the pics of your little one on FB, she is such a doll!!!

    Emily - Hey girl!! Just wanted to say hi and see how you are doing!

    First off... Thank you all for the warm welcome, you all are awesome :bigsmile:

    Amy (ls) My name is Muna, my nickname is moon. Your son is BEAUTIFUL :flowerforyou:

    Well I guess I am the first to weigh-in 2day. I am the same 200.6 lbs.
    I would love your advice on something, as I mentioned in my last post I see a nutritonist every week. I have been at it for 3 weeks & only lost during the first week, as you can imagine that really made me sad. I have been eating the same food for lunch everyday for over 3 weeks & I don't think I can do that anymore, it makes me want to cheat because there is no variaty. My mom tells me that I should stop going to the dr. & just do it on my own, EAT LESS & MOVE MORE, how hard is that?? Why can't I do it?? I pay the guy alot of money every week, if I was seeing results I wouldn't mind the money but to pay & see nothing change & eat the same food?? What do you guys think? Should I stop going to him or would that mean that I quit AGAIN?? Should I keep going, maybe give him another 2 weeks? I don't want to fail this time, I have failed so many times before. You are my support now & your advice means alot to me.
    I hope you all have better luck with the weigh-ins today :smile:

    Give him more of a chance! I quit seeing a specialist after two weeks because the second week I didnt show any weightloss, and what really happened was that I lost Inches!!!! If nothing happens after those two or three weeks, including not losing inches then maybe consider quitting. Ive beenn told thought that you will usually have an attitude change or gain more energy from seeing a nutritionist.

    Well, Ladies, sorry for not checking in lately. My husband has been sick for 3 days and I have been taking care of him. yesterday I had to wake him up at 9 am, 10, 12, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 for pills. He was not a happy camper.

    Starting Weight - Dec 1 - 215

    Current Weight - 201.5.

    My mini goal is be under 200 lbs by Feb 1. 5 days to do this.

    I have not exercised on Sat, Sun or Monday unless you count all the cooking, cleaning and errands running that I normally do not do. I hate when he is sick and I have to do it myself. I have not had a chance to really watch what i was eating but of course I went over calories for all 3 days because I was just grabbing quick food while i was taking care of him. I have no idea on my water because I was just drinking from a glass. i just kept filling it up from my gallon of crystal light premade mix stuff. I think i drank it all because i have remake the gallon again and it was full on saturday night. I think i did good on the water dept on Sunday/Monday.
