    oh jeez... i'm heavier now than i was five weeks ago... not okay. :ohwell: I have five more weeks to turn it around!!
    .

    Vbos- I am right there with you. April has not been kind to my waistline. We can do it though!

    My goals for this weeks are pretty simple. Do my workouts and stay under my calories.

    Great job this week, ladies!!!

    My goals for this week:

    1. REFOCUS!!!! And maintain it! I do really, really well Mon - Thurs, and my weight drops about 3 lbs, but then on the weekends I throw it all out the window! I've got to stop doing that!!
    2. Water - all of it, every day
    3. Exercise - a little bit every day is better than 2-3 major workouts that wipe me out
    4. Stop ordering out and start cooking at home!!!

    Congrats Ladies for another great week. Even if you didn't lose we all stayed committed!

    Agirlfromminnesota - Woo Hoo! Great week!

    My goals for this week are to get in my lunch hour workouts and get in two strength training sessions.

    Thanks Rach for taking care of us.

    Rach--this has been the best topic ever..I have always tried to lose weight since I have ALWAYS been overweight..and knowing I have to lose weight because I have to post it every week, keeps me motivated. Yes, I might have weeks where I get bored with my food and my exercise, but in the end I know it's going to pay off..for example: I have been helping with our Confirmation class at Church, and last night was their ceremony, so I had to dress up. I put on a dress yesterday that did not fit me last November. It felt so good to be able to wear it. I got so many compliment last night. It made me feel so good!!! Down, 24.5 pounds and counting since November. I want to lose another 20 pounds and I know with all the support from this forum and this website, I will be able to do it!!! THANKS AGAIN!!! :-)

    Okay...seeing that I am up 2.2 lbs since starting this has gotten me fired up! I saw my doctor today and will be starting physical therapy soon so there may be a light at the end of the tunnel as far as my running is concerned. That has me feeling a bit better.

    In the meantime, I am going to get on the recumbent bike in the mornings (at least 3 each week) despite the fact that it bores me to tears. To help alleviate some of that boredom, I will be studying to get my motorcycle permit in the hopes of getting my motorcycle license this year!

    Additionally, I am going to (re)start the 100 PushUps Challenge beginning tomorrow morning since it has been a full week since I have done any at all.

    With any luck, I will actually see a loss come Monday!!

    Keep up the GREAT work, ladies!!!!

    Good job ladies :) Can't believe we are at the halfway mark.

    I'm feeling a little frustrated today. My FIL stayed the night with us Sunday night and last night (don't get me started on him). Since I do TurboFire at home in the mornings in the living room, I have been unable to do it for two days because he sleeps in the living room when he stays over. I'm really getting antsy. I hate for my routine to be messed with, and I was really in the groove of daily workouts. I'm praying he's gone when I get home so that I can workout tonight. Then tomorrow, which is my usual rest day, I will make up yesterday's workout and be back on track 100% I hope. Hate this feeling, though.

    Wow, I can't believe we've lost nearly 240lbs as a whole so far.

    Great job everyone. Would love to see a total loss of 500 at the end of the challenge.

    I completely understand you. Between a emotionally exhausting funeral and a physically exhuasting buisness trip I have been off of my exercise groove for 2 weeks! I takes a lot of oomph get up in the morning like that and to eventually like it! It's a super bummer to get thrown off your routine and I know for a fact I'm having a horrible time getting back on it. Two days of excuses! Let's hope we can get it back tomorrow!

    Great job, everybody!

    My goal for today, tomorrow & Thursday is to burn at least 500 calories each day. Friday AM I'm heading on a roadtrip, so my only goal starting then is to have fun! ;D

    Alright ladies. I blew away my goal of 30min exercise and at least 300 calories burned a day, today. After doing 3.3miles on the treadmill I burned almost 700cals!!! Looks like I get a bigger dinner tonight. :happy:

    Goals:

    -5 more workouts this week (min of 30min and 300cals)
    -At LEAST 64oz of water per day
    -Eat 1400+ cals EVERY day

    By next weigh-in......I WILL be 173.5lbs or less! :drinker:

    Love your enthusiasm Rach! I think you might have just gotten me to get off my butt and plan some exercise this week! :) BTW, love your new pic- I think your efforts are paying off! :smile:

    Another great week, ladies! And I'm so excited to get a yellow box!!

    My on-going goal is to be 175-177 by May 5. That's when I have my final fitting for my wedding dress, and my seamstress took in a little extra for me based on my reaching that weight. I'm at 181.8 right now, and I have a little over three weeks.

    You can do it!!!! At your rate, you'll blow it away! :) Do it of course for yourself, then for all of the brides out there (including myself)who never did lose those extra 5 or 10 lbs- you'll be so happy you did! Good luck to you- we're all behind you!! :drinker:
