From Debbie to Dynamite

Quick note since I need to go to the bank:

Thx Trhvn!!! Had a great b-day and I'm so glad you're looking for clothes that fit you differently so you can see the diff!!! It's exciting!

2 things: 1. Had the personal training session today and was very interesting. I will let you know all the details as soon as I have time. and 2. I got an email from a trainer at Beachbody with a promo for $30 off ChaLEAN extreme. I'm not going to get it, but if any of you are interested, I could email it to you guys... Let me know!

Hello Slim in Sixers! How is everyone doing on Slim in Six? I just finished start it up and will start ramp it up tomorrow - is it super hard? Hopefully I can make it through. I would love to hear what kind of results you are all having

AHHH! Yes Abtropix I think we are all experiencing the busyness that comes with LIFE!!!!

I will be the first to admit that I haven't done much exercise at all lately. I've been on the mindset of maintenance, which I've done well I think. I'm at a point where I don't even want to look at Debbie...not because I don't like her, I LOVE HER, but man I'm SO ready for some upbeat dance music and jumping around, I need the CARDIO!!! So I'm gonna order Turbo Jam (or Turbo FIRE, I still can't decide) come the first of FEB. I've still managed to lose a few lbs by eating my calories and have even been able to curb weight gain on those indulgences I have been allowing myself. I think that means I have boosted my metabolism a bit, which is great!!! I AM excited to increase my exercise again as I am almost half way to my weight loss goal and almost under 160!!! I am fitting my 14s just fine (minus the muffin top I experience from wearing them, which leads me to stick to my 16s bc they cover my belly!) and people have been noticing left and right that I've been losing! It's so nice to be able to say..."I've lost over 20 lbs" when someone asks and even better to say " eating better and exercising" when they ask how.

A few people I know, some of them close girlfriends, have been hankering to try HCG drops to help them with weight loss, which one my coworkers has been using. It's not that it isn't effective, my coworker has lost 14 lbs so far in about 2-3 weeks, but pretty much it's just starving yourself, and I'm not up for a quick fix. I'm worried that if I don't figure out how to do it on my own then it WONT stick afterwards! I mean how can you avoid putting the weight back on it you don't change any habits that put them there in the first place?! So I might sound snobby to my gf's when they ask if I'm gonna do it cuz I just tell them I'd rather do it the healthy old fashioned way!

Hope everyone is doing well and keep posting those updates!

im still waiting on the doctor so i can get my next appointment set up for my hips the meds he gave me ddnt rly help so im hoping he will do a mri

Hey crew,
Hope you all are doing well. I haven't had much time to catch up on the posts yet.
It looks like folks have been pretty busy.

I'm back form Holidays.
Running to work but had to report
I LOST WEIGHT
4.2 pounds since my last weigh in.
I'm super stoked and have definitely cruised past the 210 mark.
Weight 204.2 pounds.

Yay!

Hey all,

Just finishing up my welcome home cold/flu.
No exercise as yet.
Not much appetite either though.
Just started logging my food again and I joined a 3500 cal a week challenge.
So I'm on my way.

I weighed in at 202.4 on Saturday.
waist 36.5
hips 42.5
arms 12.5

Catching up on Your posts it looks like folks are super busy

Daisy- Good to see you back. I have a copy of P90X I'm gonna check out next week-end when I've built u some energy.

Smartypants 64- Welcome. I'm repeating slim in 6 as a default till I pick up a new program. It's the only program I've used so far and I keep losing 1-2 pounds a week. (When I'm consistent)

abtropix- Your design project sounds interesting. Good luck working on it and getting in some healthy living. It's so hard to get it all in.

Truhvn- I see you logging in on my home page. Very encouraging. Congrats on the weight loss.

RLAL 09- Good luck with the meds. So good your taking care of yourself.

MTDork + Landry look forward to hearing from you when you get a chance.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!

Hi there,

Pretty quiet these days. I know how things can get crazy somtimes. Look forward to seeing folks back on-line soon.

Daisy - Good to see you too. My flu is on the way out. Yay!

I got in a workout late last night which is good cause this North American food is not helping.
Since home I've had hamburgers, pastry and chocolate all which are hard to get or not very tasty (or super expensive ) in Jamaica.
Gone are my fresh grilled fish and ripe papaya lunches.

I'l wait till next week to weigh in again but I'm gonna nedd to get organized around good eats and exercise if I want to hit my April 1st goal of 199 pounds.

I'm trying to stay motivated.
Joined a March challenge with a weekly weigh in and next week I'm going to go for the burn 3500 calorie a week challenge.

Still havent checked out P90X but the week-end looks promising.

Best to you all.

April

Hey great to see you back!

I am really missing my support here too. It just makes a different if you check in and chat about how it's going! Well as I am back online now I will be here to post.

Great about Turbo Jam. I am doing Turbo Fire and I REALLY love it! It is great. I have just completed my first week and I am looking forward to working out. The workouts are fun. I am also doing Brazil Butt Lift at the same time. Which is good to. It is a bit more basic than TF but it works. Today my muscle in my bum and legs are sore...Good feeling though.

I have noticed to that Mtdork deleted her account..probably to buy to post here....

Where you not thinking of getting TF? I can recommend it!

Great to see people are coming back...
