    I made it back to GA safely. Since I worked out w/my family yesterday and it is usually a rest day I decided to use today as my designated rest day. As a result, I kept today's workout very light. Instead of taking the train from my concourse to baggage claim I opted to walk. As I stated in previous posts, Atlanta's airport is really big so to walk from a concourse to baggage claim is about a mile. In addition to walking I was pulling my 20 lb suitcase and carrying a shoulder bag. My back has really been bothering me all weekend so once I get settled I'm going to do some stretching to see if that will help.


    Lisa: I'm glad you started another thread. I've been with you almost a year and will continue. Although I've been maintaining my weight pretty well over the last few months I think I've recently began re-gaining so i'm using this thread as a means to re-focused. I won't be able to weigh in til later in the week or beginning of next week but i'm definitely looking forward to the challenge.

    I am so in too! Just joined today. Lost 43lbs a couples years back and went back to school and gained 20 of it back. I'm on a roll to take that 20lbs off! I'll weigh myself tomorrow morning and plan to exercsie atleast 6 days a week. Anyone interested in posting daily exercise? I know if I post it I will be more determined and dedicated to exercise everyday! Today I did 20 min on the elliptical and some weights.

    This sounds like fun! I'm in! I'm about 15 pounds away from my wall.... the one I couldn't break through last year before I fell off the wagon. I hope this challenge will give me some extra motivation to bust the wall when I get to it!

    Good morning and happy Tuesday! A quick post because I have to get on my work grind. As I stated in a previous post we are under a very tight deadline. I decided to workout at the gym today instead of w/a dvd. I completed 20 min on the treadmill and 20 min on the elliptical. It's amazing how you can lose things if you've not done it in a while. Running on the treadmill was very difficult today so I know it's going to take a minute to rebuild my endurance.

    Hello Hello all :) I finally got my batteries repaced in my scale, I'm inching closer and closer to 'ONEderland', I'm getting a little anxious since I haven't been there for at least 5-7years. Anyway, my workout plans for the next few weeks is to train for my 1st 5k (2weeks away), I started by running a 13min mile last night which is flippin awesome since I was running a 16.5min mile. Hoping today I can run 1.5 straight since I haven't really ran after graduating C25k. I also bought 30 day shred last week and plan on starting Friday after I weigh in(I gotta get back on my Fri schedule) and measure. I'm also part of the CRUNK N PLANK challenge doing 90min of planks and 2000 situps/crunches for the month of Sept. I just want to stay active as the months begin to cool off. Anyway, here's my opening stats :)

    Wow congrats, Bru! You are SO SO SO close to ONE-derland! :bigsmile: I'm sure you will hit it WAY before month is out! I'm gonna start getting back at doing my Jillian Shred as well. I'm still working on C25K & will finish it this time! I am currently in week 5 & should finish the week I leave for my cruise! :happy: I'm actually enjoying my runs! It was great doing it every morning when I was camping! I actually LOVED it! :love:

    Well here's my countdown to the New Year! Good luck to everyone! I know this is an awesome thread & we can all do it together! :drinker: (H2O of course)

    Yep, yep! I'm in too! I saw someone else on here who's close to me in weight and they wanted to be under 200 by New Years. Holy crap! For the first time it made me realize that I could be close to that number by New Years too! O.O 200 has never been in my sights, it's just amazing how close it is now!

    Sept 5th: 248 lbs

    Jan 3rd: 220 (ahh!! It's insane to for myself to even have a goal of 220 that soon!!!)


    Lose: 28 lbs in 4 months (soooo doable :D) That would mean I've lost 117 pounds since my heaviest weight in 2006!

    Good morning and happy hump day! Back is still bothering me but not nearly as bad as it has been. I got up at 5 am and completed Cardio Power and Resistance from the Insanity program. I know my workouts are all over the place this last week and a half but my mini vacay has thrown me off plus I think I've regained some weight so I'm wanting to incorporate more cardio workouts into my routine to try and take it off as quickly as possible. I haven't weighed in yet b/c I'm wanting all the reminants of TOM to disappear before stepping on the scale. Overall my clothes are still fitting but something just doesn't feel right which makes me think it's the regaining of some unwanted weight......I guess all those dangs Tostitos has really caught up with me.
