I'm 5'3" - If only I was 3" taller - I wouldn't have a weight problem - Ha ha

I always say the same thing, if only I was a little taller lol, I'm 5'2 btw

5'1" (with shoes :laugh: ) and 150lbs

I'm down 5lbs since December - that was also boosted by 2 rounds of the flu... so hopefully I can maintain that and keep losing!

Yay, a group I can join! (yes?) I'm 5'3

Yay! I'm 5'3" and right at 150 pounds...Seriously...only 3 or 4 inches taller and I'd practically be a movie star! Ha ha! Not quite but I'd feel like one! lol! Anything special anyone is trying this month to loose weight?

Good morning all! Today is week 1 day 2 of the Insanity program and I completed the Plyometrics Cardio Circuit. This dvd totally kicked my butt. I started out pretty strong but by the time we were doing the suicide drill 2 (hop into plank position, complete 4 push ups, 8 mountain climbers, jump back up) I was about pooped. Then after the suicide drills to the ski abs and the in and out abs had my shoulders and abs burning. I can still feel the burn as I type this post but I'll be back at it tomorrow giving it my all.

Don't we all wish we were taller. Just think - no more hemming pants.

And no more trying to climb up grocery shelves to get that Can/Box/Bag that's waaaaaaaaaay up there.... :laugh:

Jzbaby: It's amazing how we measure our level of success, I'm glad u can see them feet again. Keep up the good work!

I did not buy, but I tried on and fit into size 12 jeans today. I didn't like them but just wanted to see if they'd fit and they do. It was so exciting. I am not going to buy any clothes until I am in the 140's (which is just a couple of pounds away).

I bought a Walk at Home workout DVD to bring with my on my trip. It kicked my ___! I will try to do it 2x's a week until we go and then every day at the hotel.

Both my daughter and I are bringing our laptops with us. I think we both better bring earphones too. lol

Have a great hump day evening.

Happy Thursday all! Today is week 1 day 4 of the Insanity program and it's considered recovery day, so, I completed the 32 minute Cardio Recovery dvd. I see now I will be looking forward to Thursdays for the next month since every Thursday in month 1 has been designated as recovery day. I really like this dvd b/c it incorporates a lot of stretching yet there is also some strengthening (squats, lunges, plank etc...). When I was doing the P90X program I couldn't stand the Yoga days ,which is why I substituted it out for Cardio X, b/c the duration was entirely too long for my liking. Cardio recovery is very different and I absolutely love the fact that it's only 30 minutes.

My exercise is complete for the day and once again I'm glad I climbed out the bed and got it done. I must admit I'm a bit anxious about tomorrow's workout b/c it's pure cardio and when I watched the dvd there were no allotted breaks throughout this dvd and the moves looked insane. I'm sure I'll be taking my own breaks all through this dvd but just thinking about how it's going to kick my butt has me sweating just a little bit....LOL. No pain, No gain right (I'm still convincing myself of that motto)!

Jam: Way to be dedicated to your workouts even when you're away from home and I agree w/Barbie your daughter will definitely appreciate you being by her side.

Barbie: Enjoy your trip to LA w/friends and of course DH.

I'm chugging along with C25K, alternating with Chalene Extreme - tomorrow is "weigh day", hoping to see some movement... BUT I did put on a more fitted style sweater this morning that I haven't been able to wear in over a year!!! :happy:

Congradulations! It's a great way to start the day off.

Choco & Barbie - Thanks for all the encouragement.

Barbie - have fun on your trip.

Choco - Enjoy your Thursday Recovery Day! You deserve it.

I'm having a hard time with motivation lately. I somehow gained 2.5 lbs, though I only went over on my calories one day (I think). I'm wondering if 1200 calories is not the right amount for me, I just don't get it. I'm frustrated because I can't work out very hard due to my surgery. I'm just frustrated all around. It's 'TOM' for me I think, which might be a reason I gained. I'm having a hard time, ugh!

TGIF girlies!!! :drinker:
