Anyone interested in a "Those Last Pesky 20 Pounds" Group?

Good for still doing it even though you weren't up to par yesterday. Glad today was better, that you pushed it out and feel awesome. That's what it's all about, right?

I popped in here for motivation after a horrible start today. I had christmas candy for breakfast and warm apple pie ala mode for lunch. Ew. I mean, there's definitely a time and a place for each of those things -but this was not it. Trying to psych up for a good, hard workout so I can let it go and move on.:grumble:

I've had days like that. Tomorrow's a new day. Ya just start fresh. You can do it!!

Thanks to both you and Amy, I did reign it in a bit! I did 80 mins of zumba and then made sure to get some nutrients in (spring mix salad, cauliflower, all that good stuff). There's room for improvement, but I think I managed to salvage the day.

Well I made it out last night for my hike...It was a ncie steep climb to the top and my dog made it too! Today, since it is raining and I can not run outside, I signed up for a Spin class, but feel a little apprehensive about it. The last time and only time I took a spin class was in 2001.

I kept within my calories too yesterday, so that was a huge plus. I have dropped two of the 4 I gained, so I am hoping to zero out the gain soon and start losing the 20 I want off!

Hi there!!! Glad to hear you've gottten yourself this far - you must be proud!! Would it help to revisit whatever was your initial motivation to start with? Why not share with us what were the main factors that led you into this journey of change?

Well done everyone for not pigging out between xmas and new year

In the past i've seen it as a free week but not anymore, on boxing day i went for a 5 mile run, 27th the same, 28th and 29th I did 2 sessions of 30DS, today just 1 30DS and a run later after taking my girls for a long walk.

Really excited for next week, i should be getting my new BFBM and 6W6P dvds to try out, has anyone tried these?

Awesome, Sas! I am not sure if I mentioned this already, but I am also starting the hybrid on the third. Can't wait!

I was thinking of making a goal for my 30rd birthday, which is 1/28...to get down to 147. Do you think even though I"ve been plateaued for a year that I can lose 5 pounds in a month? LOL

Let me know how it goes on the 3rd? I'm still interested in seeing the schedule you have, if you don't mind?

I'm thinking that 5lbs is do-able too, by the way!!

Amy, I just wanna say good luck with hitting your goal for your B-day! You can do it!

Jeannie, thumbs up. Thinking about your food and logging every bite - it all ads up. I"m working on improving in this area as well.

I gained a little weight over the xmas break/vacation. I am going to have this be a starting point and I am going to lost 5 pounds this month no matter what!

My last weigh-in of 2010. Since Thanksgiving I've been up and down with the same 2 pounds. Today I was up 2 pounds. I really hate the scale. I'm only weighing in 2 times a month - it just drives me crazy!! Not going to worry about it. I will get to where I want to be. Going to try to start paying more attention to hunger or cravings!!

Happy New Year everyone!!

Okay, I did it. The prospect of coming back here, shame-faced and saying I couldn't do it was enough to motivate me. I did the 6w6p dvd and then a cardio kickbox. Feel pretty good, if I ignore my aching muscles!

Happy New Year all! You are an inspiration.

Hello to all the newbies to the thread!

Great job on all those workouts!

Smiles--We're here to help keep you accountable. That's the stuff I post about.


Well, I finished the Turbo Fire 5 Day Inferno yesterday...down 2.6 pounds and 4.25 inches! I lost 2 whole inches off my waist!!! I am taking a rest day today (and eating too much but will correct that tomorrow), and I am planning to do a Bob Harper dvd I got for Christmas tomorrow. Rest day on Sunday, then let the TF/CLX hybrid start on Monday. I'm so excited!!!

Yeah, hello everyone! Welcome!

Thanks, Amy. It really does help. Great job with TF - that's amazing that you've whittled 2.5 off your waist. Very encouraging. Good for you for incorporating rest days.

Out of curiosity - do you have a specific "weigh in" day that you change your stats on MFP? Do you weigh daily but just report the number once a week? I'm thinking I should start a routine. I tend to be all over the map in terms of how often I weigh and update.

Happy New Years Eve to all. I had a GREAT day! I ate out EVERY meal today BUT I stayed with in calorie range. I also got in a great workout.

There is so many people here and it's GREAT for the support and encouragement we need to lose "those last pesky 20 pounds"!

Skinny vibes to all! Have a safe night!

Happy New Year to all. Does this tread restart daily or do we just keep posting here. Just wondering.

I went for a great workout. I met with a trainer today. OUCH! I'll be sore tomorrow (but a good sore). Plus I walked for 45 mins on the treadmill. I feel so better,

Teresa- You will get motivated to start exercising regularly! Just think about how much better you'll feel and help you get closer to your goals.:happy:

We are heading to a family members house for cards and games. I'm taking my D2 game for the Wii. I hope to get more exercise in so I can have a class or two of wine.

Skinny vibes to all!
