I do running races, 5k's, 10 k's and I did my first half marathon in November. I am training for my second triathlon and I really need to figure out how to get this weight off! I train 6 days a week but for me it is the food and drinking. I can't wait for the holidays to end so I can get on the healthy wagon again. I am still starting now but I know it will be hard to get a lot of weight off until after December is over.

Did my TF workout this morning. I workout around 5:30am every morning. Only time I can get my workout in. Did 55EZ & Fire 30. Burned 756 cals! Been pushing myself the last 3-4 weeks cuz I've been doing the burn 3500 calorie challenge. It's motivated me to step up my workouts at least.

Great job! I have a silly question about TF. The numbers on the end are the times of the workouts, right?

Thanks! And, yes, you are correct.

I am really in the same position of just maintaining the 150 forever. For me it is the food! I work out enough, but food just calls me...and not the good stuff either. I am trying, but man oh man....yeah.

Yesterday for working out I ran 2 miles on the treadmill (killing time waiting for the class to start) and then took a 24 lift class, which was boring as all heck. Funny, when I got onto the treadmill (which I hate running on) the guy next to me was running an okay pace but when I hopped on mine I thought "might as well go full metal" and then he started hauling *kitten* too, but sloppy...just funny when you notice it. Like he was thinking can not let this girl show me up. Right after I stopped, he did too...

Anyway at lunch today, i am taking a boot camp class. I will try to make better food choices....at least for today

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hey everyone! I just saw this post and I was thinking of starting a similar type group (last 15 lbs or whatever), I'd love to join you guys!

I have a pretty big variety for exercises. I've done the Chalean Extreme and Turbo Fire hybrid for the past few months. That's winding down and I just joined a gym for the first time. I'm super excited about that (I want to work on my running and strength training) and I signed up for a personal trainer 3 times a month. Can't wait to get started! Hopefully that guidance will really help with reaching my goal by the summer. Then I can focus in the second half of the year on toning everything up.

Hello just dropping in to say I did my 20 minutes on break this morning of walking around the bldg. It comes down to about 1 mile or bit more. I felt energized when I returned to my desk. Also been drinking my water faithfully.

Think I found the secret...........diet and exercise, who knew??? :laugh:

I am learning over the past month that my body is reactive to certain foods, maybe all of us are.

I was down yesterday morniing after 3 days no sugar.

Yesterday we had dessert contest at work. I am in this for life so I am going to enjoy things like this, but smartly. The point is I did have sugar and today my hands are swollen to the point of needing soap to remove my rings. yesterday mornign they were swinging around my fingers!

Amazing! Our bodies are simply amazing.

I did my walking and water yesterday and will do so today also !:flowerforyou:

No personals today, but welcome to the new members! I have a stomach flu, and I am trying to lay in bed as much as possible. :frown:

Yuck!! Hope you feel better soon!

I work out at least 3 times a week, mostly more. I don't go to a gym. I do everything in my livingroom.

Good luck with the Turbo Plan! My strategy to overcome this plateau is to really focus on calories as well as adding strength training (push ups and sit ups primarily). I do the treadmill for exercise because it works out well. My kids can play in the basement with me while I work out. I alternate between walking fast and jogging.

A B&B sounds nice!

Hope everyone has a great start to the week
My goal is to get to 139 this week. That would be AMAZING as it has not happened since 2003.

Got on the scale and to my surprise...I maintained. Didn't lose anything, but wasn't expecting to the way I've eaten the last 2-3 days. But I didn't gain...so I'm happy about that!
