    So glad to have this group for support because I am sooooo frustrated! I think I'm doing all the right things, but the scale just doesn't budge. Anyhow, enough moaning :-) Yesterday I ran 5 miles. Today, I ran 2 miles and plan to take my daughter swimming tonight after dinner/homework :-) I was introduced to TCBY by a friend and just had that as a snack. It was only 180 calories and very yummy :-)

    Thanks Selinee! I'm hoping your words come true. So far, other measurements have changed but not my weight.

    You read my mind... I was thinking of getting an exercise video to add to my exercise options. Currently I run or do Bikram "hot" yoga and that's pretty much it. Any recommendations?

    If it is not to late to join I would love to. This is my first time joining one of these challenges. I have never told anyone my weight so it is embarrassing to say it was 181 on Wed. Yuck.....How do we check back and forth and weigh in? Is there a link? Thanks

    hey jenn welcome :) no weight is bad so you shouldn`t feel like that :) we all shudder at our own weights but that just spurs us on i think pşus having a good support system :)

    well to be honest i just go into my profile and my last comment and trace the thred from there but i don`t personally now a quicker route but i`m sure other people do .

    how was everyone`s day ? hope that you all had the time and motivation to do your 30 mins. well i have had a back and front pain for more than 10 days and it keeps coming and going so didnt do the 30 mins( hypocrite i know ) :) but i think its my matress so will be sleeping on the guest bed to see if thats what the problem is.

    After the birthday over eating day I got back to normal and actually posted my lowest weight yet, 189.4! In fact, I've been keeping track of my weight for the last several years, and this is the lowest weight I've ever written down. Te highest was only 203. I shooting for 175.

    I've been doing two 30 minute sessions on my elliptical each day. One in the morning and one in the evening. I either listen to music or watch Star Trek: The Next Generation. I got the whole series on DVD for Christmas :smile: . I tend to work a bit harder when I listen to music.

    This whole MyFitnessPal thing started last year for me. I am recovering from ACL surgery last July 7. The surgeon recommended I not jog (I was never a jogger) so I settled on the elliptical. I also throw in a couple sets of crunches, push ups, and some scissor leg exercises for my knee.

    Hey Selinee - no you're not a hypocrite! Just human. Hope your pain vanishes quickly. I love my mattress so much I hate sleeping anywhere else!
    On another note, I just took my "before" pictures. Yikes. Never done that before. I am meeting with a friend tomorrow who is a Beachbody Coach so I can choose which workout routine would be best for me to add to my current routine. I do enough cardio and need to add weight training so I can burn more fat. I think (hope) that is what might be stalling my weight loss.
    As a check in note - yesterday I did a 90 minute Bikram yoga class. Today I ran 5 miles on the treadmill. Would have gone outside but its snowing here :-)

    My goal is to lose 5 more pounds...after that I'll reevaluate. This whole journey began a year ago for me and did not include weight loss. I trained for my first half marathon beginning in February of 2009 while raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I was inspired to do this because my Mom was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma (a form of blood cancer) the year prior. After that first half marathon last May, Ive just kept on going! I ran my second half marathon in October and my first full marathon this January.
    Glad your pain has decreased. I hope your new mattress has memory foam! I swear its heaven!
