Halloween weekend got to me! But I'm still happy with my loss. I didn't skip a work out this weekend so I'm glad that I'm keeping the habit of exercising. Also, I'm having a side competition with a friend to see who can lose the most weight in 2 weeks, which I hope will give me some extra motivation!
Quick question: What is the best way to start running again? I absolutely dread running especially on the treadmill, but I want to change up my work out. Any ideas? I ran 2 miles outside last week at a very slow pace and I was exhausted.
Great job this week everyone! Keep it up
About the running, I have heard LOTS of people having success with the Couch to 5K program. You can google it. It's basically walk, for so long, jog for so long, etc. It's a great way to still get a work out, burn calories, and still push yourself without burning out quickly!
Hope this helps!0 -

Loss this week: 0
Total loss: 5.4
So I did'nt have the best week, I am happy to have stayed the same and not gained! and I can't even blame Halloween because we don't even really do that here in Aus :grumble: its just having a really busy week with not so much time for exercise and I think the big thing was not getting to drink the water.
Oh well this is a new week and I too have joined the 50 push up challenge, girly ones at this stage - I tried to do the real ones and made it to about 4 before I felt like I was going to die :laugh:
Congrats everyone who has lost weight this week, you are all doing so well Really gives me so much motivation. Thanks! 0 -

Well this last week was actually a kind of disappointing week for me. I made some bad choices with what i ate and actually put on 2 pounds, but no biggie i need to work extra this week to take off those two pounds plus another like 2 or 3 pounds to get back on track for my goal. So this weeks weight is 273.5.0

So, I had a bad news/good news day. Weight stayed the same: 180lbs, no loss, no gain. The better news is that I was able to wear a pair of really cute pants that haven't fit right in a long time :happy: I can definitely tell things are shifting, now just gotta get the numbers to keep moving down.
Great work, everybody!0 -

My goodness YOU ALL ROCK!!!!!! Woo hooo to the girlie who lost like 17 POUNDS!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!! wow... what did you do? I need to do that! haha.... I guess if you keep it up you will lose your 30 pounds before Christmas!
I'm soo very proud of all of you! Thank you for everyone sticking in there with me! You make me proud and motivated. Hey, I also joined a 50 pushups a day thread for the month of November.
Having said that, I cannot yet do 50 pushups, but the poster said we could start with wall push ups or even girly pushups. So, if anyone wants to join me in that challenge I would love to know. It's embarrasing to me that I can't even do 1 real push up anymore! Come on!!!
lol.. I used to play sports and do hundreds weekly....sheesh...now I'm the stay puffed marshmallow queen! haha... Ok...so off to stare at a wall for 50 times! lol... Wish me luck... I may even have to break it into 5 sets of 10 at a time!! hahaha...
BUT...I want to be able to do 20 REAL ones by the end of the month!!! Who's with me?? We can do it...it will probably only take like 5 minutes to do the wall ones!!!
I joined that push up challenge last night. I saw you were on there too! Yeah, I definitely have to do the wall ones!0 -
