    I'd like to join! But can I just aim for 7% loss?

    Any for real snow bunnies out there? I ask because I am a skiier and a skater. While I am toning up, I am also getting huge thighs. Does anyone know of a good way to slim them down without loosing strength?

    I'm a downhill skier and skater as well. Skated all my life and I have huge thigh muscles. Would love to know how to slim them down, but still stay strong!

    Well, I started a thread for skiiers/skaters. Maybe we can post something there since we are both curious about this!

    Starting Weight: 159.8
    Week 1 Weight: 159.8
    Week 2 Weight: 158.6
    Week 3 Weight: 157.6
    Week 4 Weight: 158.2

    So, that's a gain of 0.6 this week. I'm not so happy about that. :mad: So, that means I am only down 1.6 lbs in 4 weeks. I am also not very happy about that. Grrr... However, like I posted last week, I had a kidney stone :sick: and couldn't exercise and didn't eat so well. Plus, my daughter is having surgery on Monday and I am really scared. :frown: Being that I am a stress eater, I should probably just be happy that given my complete lack of willpower over the last week I didn't gain more weight. :grumble: It is also TOM for me so maybe that has something to do with it (fingers crossed). Since I will be off most of next week with my daughter (which is also causing me stress since I know I'll be behind), I hope to get in some extra exercise while she is resting. Maybe I can even burn some calories catching up on my house cleaning. On the other hand, her surgery is out of town and we will be gone for two days so I'll have to do some eating out. Hopefully, I can at least stay strong enough to eat sensibly. I really need to get back on track if I'm going to be in the best shape of my adult life before I turn 29 (that means I have to be below 154 before March 13th).

    To all of you posting losses this week - Congratulations!
    To all the new faces on this thread - :flowerforyou: Welcome! I wish I could get in on the ski discussion, but its been years and hubby won't go with me...maybe I can get back into it again soon :)



    Also, I know I overused the smileys, but I am really trying hard to procrastinate my way through the rest of the day when I should be working...:embarassed:

    I took a peek at your thread - I'm a Derby skater (though it looks like fun!). I was a figure skater, and then went on to teach figure skating and power skating. Now I just "leisurely" skater with my kids. Is that okay???
