Team Fit- April

Hey I am back! I would love to join again! My name is Joline. The last time I weighed myself I weighed 166. My weight loss goal is 145 for now.
My goals are as follow

-8+ glasses of water a day
-no soda even diet starting now
-watch my calories closer
-exercise 5 days a week 30 min a day to start
-lose 4 pounds a month (I want to stick to something low so I actually have a chance at hitting it)

I am currently really sick with bronchitis :sick: so I am doing my best at working out. I took the past two days off and today I am on and off the treadmill for short increments so I don't wear myself out to much. still getting my exercise, just in increments !

Happy Thursday

So Wednesday I finished up the day 100 calories over. But I drank my water and did my workout

Thursday - was up at 5:30 and did 45 min of Burn Intervals. I just calculated what I plan to eat today and I should be under. So I am doing good.

Hope everyone had a good Wednesday and a great Thursday.

Just weighed myself.:indifferent:
Since the end of last month (which was my last weigh in) I have lost 2 pounds!:happy:
And that was after eating breakfast!
HAPPY DANCE!! I am now 164

This is a great idea! I was looking for just this type of group.

I don't believe I ever posted before but I've been using myfitnesspal on and off for years now. I'm over 40 so weight loss is a little more difficult but if I can get things to 'click', I'll lose the weight easily. I've struggled with my weight on and off for years. A couple years ago we (me & hubby) did Jenny Craig. I got down to 125, my goal. Then it started to creep back up and up and up. Every time we went to JC for a weigh-in we were told to go back on the plan 100%. Finally we were running out of money! Then we quit and it hit me how I had forgotten even the smallest of things to prepare food in a healthy way. It's taken time and I gained every pound back besides a few so I'm a little down. I stress eat and am currently looking for work, have been for some months now. It's VERY stressful. So the pounds keep going on. ugh! I decided today that if I found a group just starting, I'd give it another try. So I'm really greatful to have found you all here!

Good luck to everyone!

Weekly goal (only one week left in April so this is my April goal as well):
-track all intake
-exercise 4 days, a minimum of 30 min (can have time to adjust if I get a job)
-8+ glasses water daily
-no diet soda UGH!!! LORD this will be hard but I need to do it!
-avoid gum and tic tacs as well
-lose 3-5 lbs this week to start

Good morning everyone

Welcome Candue. We are happy to have another memeber. We are here to support each other and we will give you the motivation to keep going.

Karen & Ariel - I am glad you are both back on track for the start of a new week. I know that you both will keep up this week.

Saturday: I drank my water and got in 40 min of workout. I did have ice cream, but only a little. I haven't input the weekend food, but I think I stayed within calories.

Sunday: Drank all my water and got in 35 min of workout, plus housework. Once again, I did not put in food, but I think I am good.

Monday: Got up at 5:10 (better than last week) and did my 35 min of Burn Circuit 1 and 20 min Turbo Jam - YEAH.

I plan to have a great week and hope you all do too. I will see you tomorrow morning.

Monday - ended the day under calories, 10 glasses of water, and 60 min of workout

Tuesday - was a rest day so I did not get up and workout. I did walk about 20 min in the wind this morning going to and from a meeting. On track with water and calories. Will check back tomorrow

Ariel - glad you go your workout in. It sounds like you had a good one. What did the personal trainer tell you?

Hope everyone has a good Tuesday

Tuesday: 10 glasses water, even on calories, 35 min of walking throughout the day

Wednesday: got up this morning and did Burn Circut 2 and 20 min Turbo Jam

I am considering a heart rate monitor. Anyone know anything about them?

Good morning

Yesterday I ended up going home because I did not feel well so I only got in 7 glasses of water, but I stayed within calories and workout for 50 min

This morning my workout was 45 min

Ariel - ease back in this week and then you can go for it next week.

Hope everyone is still hanging in since we haven't heard from the others. Where are you guys?

Happy Friday

So I could not get out of bed this morning, so no workout. I was suppose to do weights so I will do them tomorrow and take today as a rest day.

I was under calories yesterday and got in my water.

I will probably not be back until Monday. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Yep, that's my little kitty! - and that is last years photo so he's about... oh... 15 lbs now! We adopted him from a shelter last year and had no idea he would get SO BIG! We were told he's a siamese or ragdoll but he might be a showshoe mix. His personality is unlike any other. He sleeps on his back with all paws sprawled out in all directions -no shame. ; ) He zips through the house, kisses our collie on the face who has finally decided to just put up with him, and even the vet just smirked when he saw him. We really lucked out with this little guy.

Well, I didn't track. I was not good at all too. I stress eat and lately this is about as stressful as life can get. My daughter is gonig off to college and I don't want her saddled with huge loans but I can't get a job for the life of me and I've been trying on and off for months. I'm a graphic designer but decided I'd rather work in retail so I applied at Walmart. They called me in. It looked good and then nothing for over a week. I really thought I had the job! Also, I did my mother a favor and took down her wallpaper and patched up and painted her room to get ready to sell. We know it's a long shot, nothing is selling but she is too old to be on her own and she will be moving in with us.

I'm an emotional eater so this is prime time for gaining and I have been. I haven't even weighed myself yet.

So I didn't weigh in, track, or eat right. I'm off to a great start.... ugh But I wont give up. I will do it. With this new month starting, it will be a clean slate to begin again!

Congrats to everyone that did so well and for trying so hard too!!
