Another good week for everyone, Tammy and AMCMillan get biggest loser honors.
I gained a little this week but I did have an accomplishment. Today I bench pressed 195 pounds which is more than my weight, so for that I am excited. I have been real bad lately about getting my running in. Work has been crazy, and I have not been abiding by the theme of the forum. Tomorrow I run, hopefully I can get in all 5k.
So for anyone who wants to join...........1st off Welcome!!!!!!!
During your 1st week in the group, send me your starting weight, last Sunday's weight, and this week's Sunday weigh in. All information must be sent to me by noon Central on Monday. All subsequent week's you just have to give me your current weight from Sunday by noon on Monday.
This is an open group, and we love to have new people join. If you want to join, go ahead and start posting, tell us about yourself, and why you are wanting to lose wight, many of us have been doing this diet thing a while and may be able to answer a lot of our questions!!!!

Thanks for the chart Jack and congrats on your bench press accomplishment! Even though I can't do it anymore due to injury, bench has always been my favorite.
It's been a fairly good week thus far as I have been getting my workouts in each night and sticking to my calories for the most part. Like I have said many times before, I do GREAT during the week and then the weekends kill me. I am determined to get back down to where I was a few months ago by Christmas which is about 10 pounds lighter. Especially since I always gain 5 pounds during the holidays anyway.
Hope everyone has a great active week and weekend. Hawkeye0 -
Last week was good... this week is not going so well

TGIF Team,
I don't know about you, but I am ready for the weekend! The temp. is suppose to finally dip below 90 here and should be great weather for outdoor activities. Not sure what everyone else has planned, but be sure to get out there and do something active this weekend.
Hope everyone has a good one.

Good morning. Doing great. Staying within my cals, have a good exserise program set up on spark, have dropped 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks. Weighed in on sept 10 at 163.6 and this friday was 158.6.0

WOW....All I can say is I'm glad Homecoming week is over! GEEZ....what a crazy week. And it ended with a win for our boys Friday night. It was awesome. I am probably the only 49 year old woman that gets so excited over high school sports!!!! Once a Tiger Always a Tiger!!!!
Anyway...I did get to CURVES 3 times last week which I was pleased about. Now my goal for the coming week is to keep on keeping on!!!! I will weigh in in the morning since it has been so crazy I am hoping it won't be as bad as my previous weeks!!!
Have a great evening!0 -
Happy Monday... I am down another 2 pounds this week, yeah!! Things are finally moving. I am staying within cals and exercising 4 days a week. I'd like to add on a little something on my off days from boot cap but haven't yet. Maybe this week. Hope you all are doing well.0

Not logging a weigh in today... had a stressful/emotional week.... and def did not eat the way I should. I also started a little weight training Saturday (still sore) so I know that'll start to mess with the scale too! I need to keep reminding myself it's not always about the number on the scale... and I didn't gain this overnight I won't lose it overnight.0

You are right. I forget that a lot. It took me 2-1/2 years to gain this weight and it will take a while to lose it. You will have a better week next week:flowerforyou:0 -
I did the same thing about holding off on weighing in until I thought I was okay. NOT.....But you know what....It is okay! We all have days (or weeks) like that and believe me I am the Queen of them!!! The important thing is that you are back at it and are still here. Don't loose sight of your goal and it will all work out.
Even when I gained some back, i told myself that at least I knew I was feeling better because of the exercise and being conscious of what was going in my mouth even if it was the wrong stuff at times.
Here is to all of us having a better week!!!! 0 -
Happy hump day everyone!
I hope you are having a great active week thus far. I fell off track a bit over the past few weeks, but am back on track this week which is just what I needed. It's amazing how easy it is to fall back into the old routine of eating whatever and whenever. I recently got into the bad habit of not tracking my food in the evenings and weekends and what a huge mistake that was for me. I don't yet have the discipline to not keep track of everything I put into my mouth. I am proud of myself however that I have been diligently going to the gym.
Have a great rest of the week and weekend. Hawkeye0 -
Morning Team!
Here's to a happy Wednesday to everyone! This week is going better food wise for me, but I still haven't gotten back to all my walking I was doing! I agree Hawkeye......It is very easy to fall back into old routines! Now it seems Monday and Tuesday nights are consumed with TV....I am addicted to Dancing with the Stars and Castle!!! I think I am going to start exercising during commercials again. That always seems to help!
Was out of the office most of yesterday so better get back to it! Have a great day!!!

Happy Wednesday...I went to lunch yesterday with my aunts and sister. We went thrifting and did a lunch buffet. I had smaller portions but I'm sure it was way too much. We had a great time though. I found an antique dresser with mirror and I am trying to find out how old it is now. I did P90X yoga today for the first time in boot camp and it is very hard. I have never done yoga before and this was pretty advanced. I did the best I could. I feel like I got a good workout but MFP doesn't count very many cals for yoga. I was sweating puddles lol. Hope you all have a great week.0

Finished W1D2 of C25K today. Going to start a different workout plan on Monday. I am going to do C25K on MWF, and 30 day shred on TTHS, still keeping Sunday as a rest day. Will prob do at least 20min on treadmill on shred days. And I will still continue to my crunches, squats, and pushups. Will give this plan a go for the month of October and see how it goes.
Tammy - I as well love the new profile pic.
Hope everyone is doing well.0 -
Is a HRM really worth it? If so... what one is best... while being the cheapest? haha0

Renae.....This sounds like a great plan of attack. I too think I need to change things up. I have gotten off track a bit, so I think I am using you as an example!! HA HA HA !!!! Here is my commitment: MWF, CURVES, TTHS WII Fit, and doing 20-30 minutes of treadmill or outside walk everyday. I can do this!!!! Here we go!!!!0 -
I'm back on track with my diet now if I can just get my workouts back in. Hopefully I will get them back in soon.0

My husband got one from Costco for $30 but he hasn't really used it so I'm not sure how good it is.
Renae...Thanks! Sounds like you have a good plan.
Angela...Great job. I know you will get your workouts back in when you are ready.
Ann...You go girl. You can do it!0 -
I have one and love it. Mine is a Motiva Mio, with no chest trap. I am starting to wish I had one with a cheststrap, so it would track my heart rate constantly not just when I take it. And if I am jogging and treadmill and getting really sweaty, I find it hard to get a reading since My wrist are wet. Mine was around $60, my friend bought one with a chest trap from walmart for around the same price.
The reason I love them so much, is everybody is different, so this way you are getting an accurate reading of how many calories you are burning during a workout.

Hey everyone!!
See a lot of new names and faces and a few I remember...
So, I see everyone has been busy and seems to be doing well. I had my baby on August 26 and I am ready to rejoin the group! The baby is great. She was 8 pounds, 6 ounces and 22 inches long. Her name is Kenza Elise. I have one month left on maternity leave
and want to get busy on the weight loss.
I weighed 205 when I went in to have the baby and now I'm down to 178. I am hoping to reach my goal I set before pregnancy of 155. Hope to hear from some of you soon!

Hey Christy...Glad you are back and you and the baby are doing well.0 -
Hi all...I finished up week 3 of boot camp at my church this morning, 7 more to go. I am really having a good time. I have lost 5 pounds in the 3 weeks according to their scale. Mine is a little lighter but I weigh nude and before I eat breakfast. I asked if they would subtract about 5 pounds to account for my clothes and breakfast :laugh: We may go camping this weekend. We are waiting til the last minute to decide. I am a terrible procrastinator. I have nothing packed at all. Hope everyone has a great weekend. I will check back in on Monday.0

Way cool Christy!!! So glad to hear that all are doing well. Welcome back to the group.0 -
Send me those weigh ins.0

my weight had gone up last week after being sick to about 241ish. Today I am back to 239.8, though at one point this week I had been down to 237.7. Oh well... definitely plan on keeping it up except this week will be hard because I'm going to be away for Tuesday and Wednesday and I'm missing my favorite night of 2 1/2 hrs of classes at the gym. Oh well... gotta push through this STUPID plateau!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0
