Good morning and happy Monday, ladies! We have a few new additions I'd like to welcome: queendeej, QDB1 (our resident spin coach

Also, congrats are in order to Kathy for her loss of 1.6 and Yummy who just made it into "one"derland! Good going, ladies!0 -
I'm taking a personal day from work today to take care of some errands that I didn't do over the weekend, which includes preparing my meals up to Wednesday. Fortunately, that also means that I got to get in a workout (Slim in Six Start it Up) and a nice balance ball stretch routine.0

My weigh in days are Fridays.
I walk and do Sweating in the Spirit and Body Gospel aerobic DVD's for exercise.
My NSV's:
1. To decrease more or eliminate high blood pressure and cholesterol pills. [I'm almost at the lowest dose for the hbp's already so I want to get off of them completely, and with the cholesterol I would like to lower as much as I can or eliminate that too.
2. To do some form of exercise twice a day 6 days a week.
3. To be more consistent with my diet, and convince my diabetic husband to do the same.0 -

Hello ladies how is everyone's week so far?
Many of you won't know this but I am a compulsive weigher, i'm always stepping on the scales as I like to know my fluctuations silly I know but I only log my loss once a week. Thought I'd share as today I am happy that my blips over the weekend and my cave in to a lamb pattie last night didn't do any damage and the scale went in the right direction.
I'm getting over a cold and lost a little enthusiasm for exercise but seeing that has motivated me more to kick my big butt back into gear.
Have a brill day and atay strong your on the right path. :flowerforyou:0 -

Good Morning Serene ! I would say I am doing great so far this week, I accomplish my weekly goal of trying a new work out, I pushed through 30 Day Shred Level 1 for the first time and I am looking forward to addign that to my rotation, I was scared I couldn't get through it, but I did better than I thought ! I say if checking the scale helps keep your mind right then go for it ! Whatever makes things easier for you to stay focused sis.0 -

Welcome JoJo ! I love how simple and consise your NSV are, KISS Right !0 -
Any Natural hair Chica's in the challenge, if so how are ya'll maintiaing your kinky, coily, curly tresses with your regimen? It is taking alot of time to stay focused and just as much time on my hair, I love it but it's def time consuming...0
-
I have been at a loss with my hair from day 1 my problem is my scalp sweats and then my roots go kinky and I don't like to press it with heat every time so most days at work I look a mess lol but I wear it with pride as it's the messy head of hard work.
I like to put it in braids and then do a light wash much easier to manage besides that would love some help with this too.0 -

So your natural but maintain it with a straight look ? I usually wear twist or twist outs, or a high bun or low bun in between twist sets, but I think I need to do some kinky twist braid extensions, I usually get them during the fall and winter months to protect my hair. Only problem my stylist/ niece went away to college lol I"m use to low cost stylist !0 -
Yeah I straighten it basically when I can be bothered but don't like to often due to heat damage so most times it is up in a bun with a headband to hide/hold down the front kinks. My hair is breaking and I don't know why I think it's partly due to my PCOS so I am now going to keep it in single braids throughout the year giving it a break for 2 weeks in between. I don't know if sweat is bad for our hair or what but I am getting desperate trying to get my length back. I want to look like the American girls on the relaxer kits :laugh:
Import some products to me quick!!
I hear you with reg the cost effective stylist my aunt does mine and I pay £30 for her time which is approx 5-8hrs and I buy the hair, never had twists thinking cornrow into a ponytail next round.0 -
