    Hi everyone! This is just what I need! I started a kettlebell bootcamp to begin this coming Tuesday, so I'm hoping to be able to kick start my metabolism and my weight loss. I'm a mom of two, my oldest is 5 and my little one is two. So I stay busy a lot. My husband is going to law school part-time while he works full-time, so hubby is not around much, but is very supportive. I tend to go the easy way out when it come to meals and this is my down fall. I just saw the TED.com winner for 2010 Jamie Oliver and he had such an amazing message about his food revolution...check it out! He has inspired me to reconsider the way I'm eating and the way I'm feeding my family. Nevertheless I still need help. Weekends are the most difficult for me.

    My starting weight is 164lbs.
    My mini goal for March 1st - 160lbs.
    My goal weight for Sept 11, 2010: 130 lbs

    We can do this!!!

    Don't beat yourself up.... Instead of thinking that you've blown it for today, make Healthy decisions for the rest of the day...2 krispy Kremes in moderation won't KILL your healthy lifestyle. Just tug at those boot straps, and jump back in feet first with healthy choices... and get in an excercise session... even if it's just walking briskly for 30 mins.... STAY STRONG, and POSITIVE...

    Hi, My name is Lisa. I have started my diet this past Dec 1st. I joined MFP Dec 25th I belive. I have lost a total of 19 pounds since then. I wish to return to my weight of 145 where I was before I had my last two children. I had a baby boy and girl back to back in March 2007 and March 2008. I started seeing my family doctor to aid me in my weight loss. He weighs me monthly, does labs, and gives me an appeite suppressant...which was a god send at the begining of my journey. Now that I have gotten started my ultimate goal would be 140lbs by the Fall. I hope to hit 145lbs by this summer. Look forward to taking this journey with you all.

    Most I ever weighed: 192
    Starting weight:192
    Mini Goal: 170 by March 1st, 2010
    Ending goal: 140 by September, 2010.

    Seeing everyone stressed about their Valentine's Day meals is making me a *little* bit better about being single this year. Just a little...*sigh*

    Last night I did a cardio/weight class ("24 Set" for 24 hour fitness members) and then 35 min on the elliptical. Then I had some leftover tuna sashimi w/spicy sauce (mm mayo) and rice.

    I have been working the C25K although I gave up on the actual program because I have a 60 min treadmill routine rather than 30 min..anyway...I'm in SoCal and it's finally warming up again (YES I consider 60 to be freezing cold now lol) so I really want to get outside, I found a 5k that's run near my house so today I'm going to walk the trail (my legs are dead from 100000 squats last night) and then tomorrow or Sunday I will do a run there. I'm so excited!

    Also I lost 2 pounds in 2 days..but I'm only logging 1 pound because I'm sure it was just that I wasn't feeling well & not eating/drinking enough and I'll see some of it coming back tomorrow. Is that wrong/cheating?

    Hi Everyone! I'd like to join too! My Name is Sheri and I'm gonna be 48 in 3 weeks. I'm 5'4 and I'm really trying to get to 150 punds again! I weighted 150 back in 1985,,,a long time ago! Too many medical problems, a thyroid condition and 3 births really have done a number on me. also, my love of soda, chocolate and carbs didn't help either! I started this journey in Novemember 2009 and I'm doing ok so far, but this group will be a great motivator!

    heaviest weight - 210
    present weight (2/12/10) 186
    goal weight - 150 by September!

    mini goals:
    March 7th, my birthday, 179 ( I just want to get out of the 180's for now!!)

    LOL not really 100000..just felt like that...but @30 minutes straight..regular squats, squats on step, squats off the side of the step, squats off the back of the step..I mean honestly we did at least 100 squats as a warmup! You know you're in for it when the class instructor has ironclad thighs the size of tree trunks ;)

    Just finished day 26 of Power90 (Sweat level 1-2 and Ab Ripper 100 -- did 80/100 again today). I had today off from work and was finding all kinds of excuses not to exercise -- including starting laundry, cleaning the kitchen, and trying on clothes from the back of my closet.

    Now I need a shower. :laugh: And lunch. Lunch would be very good.

    Good morning all!
    Today is going to be tough! I ate my normal high fiber breakfast so that is a plus. However, this is our annual shopping day with my mother-in-law. She takes us to lunch, then shopping all day, then dinner!!!! I haven't gotten ahold of her yet to find out where were going so that I can plan ahead and hopefully make some (at least) decent choices! For dinner you obviously can't go wrong with a chicken breast and steamed veggies, i'm a little more worried about lunch. She will probably just want to go to Arby's or something quick! I HATE QUICK RESTAURANTS!!! Oh well, I will make the best out of today and have a great time!
    Hope everyone has a wonderful day today!!!

    so can I babysit 2 boys for the next week, sitter backed out due to whatever....
    great, extra money which is awesome!

    I just finally got brave enough to go to spin last week, did spin x2 and zumba x2.... now i won't make it to ANY :sad: cuz obviously i can't leave these 2 kids behind..... ARG

    and i always find it hard to get back to something when you've stopped for a week.

    GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

    once i find out what time they have to be to school, and therefore whether i will be to work late or on time. . , I am going to look at the gym schedule, and poss take an early "lunch" and do the 10 am classes.for at least a couple of days so I don't feel like i've let myself down. Plus someone elses frige of food. a man's and 2 boys. great. gonna try to cook and prep as much lunch and snacks as i can tomorrow to bring with me so i dont eat their crap.

    I can make it through this week successfully ....right?

    Last night was a HUGE overindulgence. The hubby and I went to my in-laws, where we cooked steak, potatoes and veggies... doesn't sound so bad, right? Except that EVERYTHING was coated, covered, marinated, sauteed, roasted, baked or smeared with either olive oil or BUTTER. Yep, salted sweet cream butter. We sauteed onions and mushroom in an ENTIRE STICK of butter.

    Plus the champagne (which I only indulged in a _bit_, and was much better than the 3 or 4 beers I would have loved to drink) and the deserts (roasted marshmallows, mini cupcakes, and Russell Stover chocolates -- yes, I had some of EACH).

    I calculated out my calories and estimated that I went about 200 cals over my maintenance level. It's more than I had planned, but not by a lot -- and it's a heck of a lot better than it could have been.

    It was interesting to let myself have free reign over food (for one meal, knowing how it was cooked if not the exact numbers of cals, fat, etc.) -- to a point. I plated a bit of everything, but did not clear my plate -- I left about 1/3 of my food. And I wasn't stuffed when I stopped eating, but I knew I'd had enough (which turned out to be way MORE than enough).

    Today I feel bloated and icky, but a little wiser. And I'm happy to report that my scale did not go up, in spite of it all. I don't feel guilty about eating what I ate last night -- today I am going to drink lots of water and lovely herbal tea, eat a light breakfast and lunch, have my planned romantic (but still healthy) dinner with my husband, and get in my exercise. It's a beautiful day.

    Happy Valentines Day, everyone. Be good to yourselves today, as well as those that you love. :heart:
