    Just for fun: What new fitness exercise or event are you going to do this month?
    I'm going to start back with my C25k training. There is a fundraiser race at the school of nursing that I graduated from that I'd like to participate in on 4/6, and then the school's alumni race is 4/20. I'd also going to try and start doing more weights and strength based activities. I am ok with cardio but want to be building muscle too and I like the good burn I feel in the days after a good session.

    CW: (Current weight) 168.8
    GW: (Goal weight for the month) -5lbs; 163.8

    3/28
    End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use)

    Total weight lost: -2.4 lbs this week; -3.4 lbs so far this month; -7.4 lbs lost total since February 20. 15.4-20.4lbs to go to hit my main goal loss. We'll go from there and see what I like best.

    Keep it up everyone!

    I'm in! I am also participating in a "biggest loser" competition at my place of employment which is a good motivator.

    SW: 178 lbs
    CW: 169 lbs
    GW: 150 lbs

    3/1/13: 169

    Now that the weather is warmer, I plan to do alot more outdoor exercise: this will include daily walks with my dog on weeknights and trips to the state park trails on the weekends. I find being outside is much easier to continue to walk/exercise vs. being inside the gym.

    Does anyone have any ideas to help control appetite? I have notice over this last week I find myself feeling hungry more and more often.

    Good luck to everyone!

    This is in response to someone who asked about curbing appetite.


    While there are good and bad about many things we put in our body, I have as part of my lifestyle change started drinking Yerba Mate - for its positive aspects which includes appetite suppression. Some studies say that it could be carcinogenic, but I'm sorry, that is probably due to Big Pharma putting in its two cents once again. If they can't make money off of something that is natural because they can't patent it, they will always put it down.

    Here are a few links:

    I hope this is informative.

    My husband and I just started taking up Argentine tango again. We're hoping to add it to our weekly dance routine (which is mostly modern, ballet, and bellydance).

    Also, since I didn't meet my goal in Feb, if I do this month, I will still treat myself to a massage.
