    This is why I like having an elliptical at home. I used for like, the third time ever today. What a workout!

    Third time on the elliptical...EVER? Really? Good for you!!! Keep it up! 13.gif How long have you had it? I wish I had one at home, but I wouldn't know where to put it. We live in a cramped townhouse right now. Besides, I'm not sure if I would have the willpower to actually get on it myself at home. When I go to the gym, I know what I'm there for and I can stay focused. At home...I'm not sure if I could stay focused long enough at home.

    My husband bought it before I even met him. It's been sitting in our den waiting to be used. Every now and then he uses it and I used it twice not long after I moved in, but elliptical training isn't something you can do when you're pregnant - we had an oopsie about a month after we got married. When I got the okay to exercise again I just never really considered the elliptical as a serious option.

    I was reading The Biggest Loser weight loss guide book the other day and I noticed that elliptical training was something that was listed as an option for cardio and it was like, "Oh, yeah! We have one of those!" :bigsmile:

    It's in our junk room which we mockingly call the "den." Our house is small, too, but we keep it relatively uncluttered (except for the den) and that gives us more space for the extras. If you don't have anywhere else to put it, a room-sized closet will do. :laugh: :laugh:

    Sorry for giving you the long version. I ramble sometimes.

    Well I had a rough week. Fay shut down the gym for two days, but that didn't matter because I ended up getting a nice sinus/cold thing that is finally going away. So I missed out on four days of gym time. The good thing is, I didn't gain any weight, but I didn't lose anything either. But I am feeling better and have been back to the gym since Monday.

    Hope all is well.

    Well, at least you didn't gain any. How is the weather holding up out there anyway?

    The weather here has been sunny, with a few scattered showers, but things are drying up very nicely. Although I see that we have many disturbances out at sea and unfortunatly it looks like another hurricane is going to hit the New Orleans area. We live in the jax, FL area and as much as I wanted to move here after I got out of the military, I am ready to move a little further north and experience the seasons again.

    But the good thing is, I have lost a few pounds already this week since Monday! Yeah!

    I think I read somewhere else that we were NOT to post them, just to email or message them to her.

    OomarianneoO ...lol :laugh: I'm anxious to change mine as well :flowerforyou:

    I decided earlier today, it is unfair to keep everyone hanging, so I'm gonna post them at 11pm.

    PeckSun8 - email them to me and I will post them every Wednesday night.

    Cre13 - Currently you only need to let me know what your measurements are...you can send them in a message or post them here. It's up to you :flowerforyou:

    Go Purple,

    Welcome to our new members :smile:

    in the quest for success I have just had my first session with the Gym instructor and have a new program both cardio and weights to work to.

    Yesterday I came home hungry and ate all my dinners worth of calories in my snack. :frown:

    Normally I would have gone "oh well" and had my normal tea but I kept thinking Nope your on a team, so I got up and went for a 1/2 hour run and ate very small tea.

    I know it sounds small but for me it felt like a big victory. Sounds silly even writing it but I really really want to lose weight and not let me or my team down. In 30 days I'm going on holiday for a week in the sun so that's a big motivator as well.

    Also I am trying to purchase Jillian Michaels 30 day shed DVD - but can't seem to find it anywhere in Australian shops. I will try and purchase on line. Any recommendations...?

    Go Purple Go Purple Go Purple!!!

    Cheers Moreeta

    All together we lost a total of 25lbs of fat!!! :bigsmile:

    You will find our teams stats in the "Biggest Weight Loser- Wk 2" thread.

    "Ticker" OomarianneoO - created the cool pic we use in our tickers, look for it in the other purple team thread in the 2nd page. Right click on image and save it to your computer, then simply update your ticker by going to the ticker tab and "personalizing it" it.

    I only lost 2, but that's ok with me :wink:

    Great Job everyone, Keep it up! :drinker:
