    Well, i asked my husband if he would match my weight loss goal, and then after his last semester for civil engineering (thank goodness), we would go away for a weekend and celebrate. So this morning we went jogging for an hour through trails. Bless his heart, he is just getting over from a respiratory infection, so it was extra hard on him, but he did it and was supportive. And we were both surprised that I was able to do it because last year after 5 minutes I was laying on the ground crying in between trying to breath.

    Anyway, we're on a roll. Hope everyone did well.

    Losing_It, great job on TWO videos. Wowzer. Keep it up!!!

    HELLO BLACK TEAM

    I am so excited to be part of this team. I hope I don't let everyone down too much this week. I am a bridesmaid in a wedding this Saturday so I have been just trying to basically maintain my weight for the last two weeks as my alterations are done on my dress. As well we are having a huge Belguim style meal at the wedding on Saturday and all bets are off for the day as we have all worked so hard on this wedding so Saturday is my day no counting cals, no guilt!
    On Sunday I will Weigh in first thing in the morning see what the damage is and kick start my butt back into gear. I hope you all have a great weekend and I hope to chat with you all come Sunday!

    TEAM BLACK ROCKS

    Weddings are so my guilt free days! Mmm CAKE! hehe :laugh: I had a question i thought i would try and ask here.. but im sure its the wrong spot. If you're doing a video how do you know how many calories your burn? Or something like digging a ditch?... :laugh: (im digging a huge dirt mound out of my back yard for a month now)

    Thanks losing it for picking up my slack!

    Talked to canelitas and her idea is that when you guys weigh in send me a message by Wednesday morning and then I can make one post for all of us and our team total.

    As for me, 3 miles on the treadmill this morning and body pump this afternoon.

    GO BLACK TEAM!!!:glasses:

    Hey black team! Good job today everyone. I made myself go running/walking with the dog tonight and much to my surprise I did more running than walking! Shellybee don't worry about your free day you deserve it girl! Just get back on board the next day. I allow myself to eat something "bad" on Sundays or I think I would go crazy! Keep up the good work everyone.

    WE CAN DO IT!!

    Hi there, thanks for letting me join the team. I did work out today for 48 minutes. I am in a weight loss class at the gym and we are in week 9 of 12. we are continuing to work in zone 3 for over 80% of the 60 minutes. I went to the dr on tuesday and she told me to lay off the weights for a couple of weeks until my body finishes getting used to all the fiber i've added to my diet. KWIM? w/out getting too gross i just have to take it easy, that is why i wasn't able to complete my full hour of exercise. I'm starting to feel better so i should be able to get more cardio in as the week progresses. I'm definitely on my way towards my goal. my hardest thing is keeping motivated. so when my Team Weight Loss class is over the end of August I'll need to keep accountable to someone or some team. I've worked out my cardio schedule for when the class is over and I'm going to do a spin class at the gym in the morning after i drop my daughter at school. weights will come in during the strictly strength class that the gym offers in the morning too. i didn't get measured today because i'm way too bloated so the trainer for the class said she'd wait until i was better. we'll see how i feel tomorrow at class. hope everyone has a happy and healthy day!

    good morning black team!

    i am somewhat confused because last week i started using this site and i thought i did real well with it. stayed under my my calorie goal, not by much, and worked out 4 times for at least 30 minutes on the treadmill. so i was a little upset when i got on the scale and saw that i was still 180.5!!! i was hoping to lose at LEAST a pound. but today is another day and i am going at it again. this will be a good week!

    good luck to everyone!

    i was a memeber of curves. its a great place to START, when you have no endurance, but once y ou pick it up you will find that it becomes more of a maintence program and there really isnt much room for improvement. that is how i feel about curves. are you thinking of joining? like i said, its great for a beginner....
