Recruiting new members, all welcome (PSB week 11)

Never to late to join, Tillytotiny63. Welcome. :happy:

Good morning everyone! I think I've finally plateaued. :frown: Wasn't able to weigh in while in Allentown. This morning the scale says I've only dropped .2 lbs in 6 days. Ouch. My official weigh in day is tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Trust me, it can always surprise you. I weighed the day before my weigh in day and I was 4 pounds heavier. When I actually weighed in the next day, I nearly fell off the scale. TRUST AND BELIEVE!

Well I blew away my 3500 calories this week with 3854. Back on the treadmill it keeps me going more then the ellitpical since I create challenges each time I get on it.

I wanna join!! My name is Tausha and I'm a mommy to an 8 month old gorgeous baby boy Eli. I've been married to my husband Evan for almost 6 years. I have gained around 70 pounds since we got married! AHGGGHHH!! haha. Oh well cause now I get to make friends with all y'all while we take the weight off. I want to lose around 90 pounds altogether.

Heaviest weight ever: 245 while pregnant
Weight when starting MFP: 232
Current weight: 226.5 ( I lost 5.5 pounds my first week! woo hoo!)
My goals are posted in my siggy

Svey that happened to me the last couple weeks. It started when I got sick and then was preparing for friends to visit. It took everything in my power to get in a decent work out. I think I broke through it today. Went back to the treadmill from the eliptical and set a challenge for myself. I decided to do what I call the mountain climber on the treadmill raising it up 0.5 incline ever 30 second up to 12 incline at 3.5 mph and then head back down "hill" and it actually almost felt like I was going down hill so I upped my speed to 4.0 and then 4.5 and ended up maintaining 4.5 at incline of 10 with some 5 mph intervals. It felt so good to get back to jogging on the treadmill that I am now wanting to go back for even more. I was only doing the eliptical since I tend to burn more on it but it is sooo uninteresting to me that I think that also hindered my motivation.

I am sure you will break through it soon.

The treadmill is easy to come up with a challenge for yourself. I have done speed, time, and incline intervals to keep it interesting. Also if you have a yoga mat bring it along and you can do core in your room.

Congratulations to ican♥and♥iwill on the loss. Keep up the good work.

Welcome to the group Tausha, it's nice to meet you.

On a personal note, when did I become so lazy? I used to go to work in the morning and think all day about going to the gym. While I was at the gym I'd be thinking about what video or Wii game I'd do when I got home. I was loving every minute of it! I can't remember the last time I even logged exercise. Seriously can't figure out where my motivation went. Anyone else go through a phase like this? Really hoping that it is short lived.

Thank you!

And I'm going through the same thing! I use to wake up at about 5am, workout for at least an hour. Do another 30 minutes on my lunch break mid-day and then a little more before bed. Now I'm good if I get 30 in on my lunch break and then another 30 minute walk with the kiddo after dinner.
