    Hi guys!

    Well, my son decided he was going to play with my scale... (as he often does)... and he broke it! : ( While I know weighing yourself everyday isn't necessarily a good thing, I am going to have to get a new scale and I'm a little worried that maybe my old scale was lying to me and I didn't really lose all that weight! : ) HA!

    I don't think I'll have one by weigh in on Monday, but I know I was down a pound earlier this week...

    As far as training goes, I've done all of my training runs for the C25K Program as well as 3 days of circuit training (2 with Jillian Michaels).... kickin' my Butt! ~ I even signed my son up for an obstacle course this fall that finishes with crawling through a giant mud pit! WOOHOO! Should be fun!

    : )

    Chocolickkyss, you kick butt!

    Welcome to those who are joining us! The more the merrier!

    I haven't done so hot with my challenge this week, but my concert is over! Yea! (I'm a middle school and high school music teacher.) The kids did fantastic. Everyone enjoyed it. So now I SHOULD :laugh: have some more free time. :tongue:

    Just a reminder, if you don't weigh in on Monday's, don't do a special one just for us! Just report your weight on your regular weigh in day. We'll still love you!

    Keep making those good decisions! (I pulled an "epic fail" on that today, but I'll be good this weekend!)

    I'm real late but I would like to join this challenge. I started MFP on 4/29 at 205 and when I first weighed in on 5/4 I was 203. I was so excited to lose 2 lbs. But I weighed today and I put a lb back on so now I'm 204. I'm working with a dietician and I speak to her on Monday. So I hope to lose that lb back this weekend. My goal weight is 150. Labor Day is a good day to reach for! My challenge this week is to exercise 5 times a week. I started off good with walking, but I haven't walked in 3 days. Not good.

    Hi everyone! I would like to join this challenge with you :)

    I've lost 25 pounds with MFP so far, and would like to to continue losing, as well as start to tone up. I just ordered JM 30 Day Shred, and am patiently waiting for it to arrive. This week I plan on walking 2-3 miles each night wearing my 20-month old daughter in our ergo baby carrier. The extra weight really makes the walk a lot more challenging, which I enjoy.

    Good luck to everyone!

    Happy mother's day to all the mom's out there. I hope your children are allowing you to enjoy your day however you desire. My post will be quick today b/c I am about to head out for a little bit and then plan on preparing my clothes and things for the upcoming work week. Today is week 3 day 7 of the P90X program so I completed 30 minutes of stretching.

    I had a great Mother's day! My son took everyone out to lunch at great steak house. I ate half of my shrimp and scallop, boxed the rest. But I did splurged on tiramisu :tongue: It was my big splurge for the week. I did prepare for the day by going to the gym in the morning - over 1300 calories! So I ended up being under my calories intake for the day! :happy: My weigh in is on Wednesdays, so I don't know if I gain any weight over the weekend, but I will have few days to work on it... Today was my 26th day making to the gym!! I am trying to go 30 days straight! I finally signed up for triathlon over the weekend, June 20th. I hope everyone had a great Mother's day!

    Good morning all! It's another beautiful day to the beginning of the work week. Today is week 4 day 1 of the P90X program which means it's RECOVERY WEEK, WooHoo!!!! According to the calendar I was suppose to complete the Yoga workout but switched it out w/the Core Cardio and Balance dvd of the Insanity program. I hadn't completed an Insanity workout in over 4 weeks so it felt good rock out to it this morning. This particular workout is one of my favorites since it doesn't move at such an extreme pace. I'm actually able to complete every last exercise w/no stopping until I get to balance portion. The hip flexor and arm burners are killer moves and I usually have to break a couple of times. I also like this workout b/c it's pretty short. I mean I rocked it out and 37 minutes later it was over.

    I just finished eating a nice hearty bowl of oatmeal w/strawberries and a little added protein powder and it was delicious.

    I'm running a tad behind schedule so I only had a chance to skim the posts. I will try to read everyone's in detail a little later.

    Have a great day everyone!

    September 6: Goal- maintain weight btwn 120-125 lbs

    I'm not worried about the 2 lb gain b/c I know it's b/c I ate dinner late last nite and weighed in early this morning. I know I should be back to normal by the end of the week plus it still within my goal weight range.

    Good Morning! Just wanted to check in. I don't have a scale this morning. So I will post next week as my first weigh in. I think I have done pretty well jumping back on the wagon with only a few days of screwing up. I'm traveling home today! going to try to eat healthy and stay within my calories.

    Happy Weigh In to Everyone!

    September 6: Goal - 230

    My goal was to stay below my calories every day. I was doing good, but Saturday I blew it! I will continue with this goal because I keep giving in to cravings, and need to learn some self-control!
