I so wanted to go for another walk today but it's 90 something degrees and humid so not worth that pain of sweat... i'll sweat it off on the tredmill in the basement

Today I am feeling the workout from the elliptical. I bought that machine in January and really did not use it much because I really could not do more than 5 minutes on it. Well the last couple of days I realize it helps to have music to workout to instead of the TV. then I dont watch the clock so much. So I have gotten up to 15 minutes. So I have been trying to do that twice a day. I am hoping using the ellipitcal will help in the inches I want to lose in my bottom area.
Girl, I feel ya about the elliptical. I am very heavy and the treadmill and bike are good, but the elliptical kicks my butt. Last week I decided I would get on it for 5 minutes. I surprised myself because it wasn't too bad. My goal is to add 2 or 3 minutes a week to the elliptical trainer. 15 minutes, here I come!

So I got crabby last Sunday because I ride motorcycle on the weekend and it's hard to find decent food. I stopped working out (I used to hike 5 times a week for 1 to 3 hours everyday) 6 months ago. When I saw the first posts of people working out for hours and burning 500+ just with one workout I thought, I guess this is not for me.
So I unfriended the 3 only persons that asked me to be their MFP friends and just called it a quit.
But them Maxy sent me another friend request, and I realized that really it is kinda cool not to be the only one trying to be healthier.
So here I am, 1 week after everybody else, FINALLY COMMITTED. Thanks Maxy for not giving up on me. Please see above my "not so committed number" for week 1.0 -

Oh hon was worried about you! glad to see you're back and stronger than ever! Let me tell you its not easy, anyone who tells you that is a LIAR. But thats why we have MFP and why we have friends, because even on days we feel down and frustrated, there are lots of people here to tell you can do it! Don't be afraid to as for help. Good to have you back! :flowerforyou:
Everyone be sure to send a friend request to melane71 and support each other when you can!0 -
Glad you came back Melane71!
For me, I am going to forget that yesterday happened. Not beat myself up. Just move on and do my best! School is now out for my kids so getting exercise and eating well is only going to be more of a challenge. But also more important that I role model positive choices for them. I will think of my kids as motivation and not as an excuse! Going to force myself to get to the gym today for Day 6 of C25K so they can play in the child center.
Happy Thursday everyone!0 -
hows everyone doing today? we are halfway through the week before our next weigh in so work hard to make it through the weekend temptations!
Today i thought that since ive been so good all week i deserved a treat. My roommate knows ive been working to lose weight, so when i asked her to bring me something sweet and yummy from her trip to the store, i was expecting ice cream, candy or at least some freakin gum!
Instead my roomie got me a bunch of banans and 2 apples! Seriously???! :mad: lol
This is exactly how i felt when i saw the "goodies" she brought back"
there goes my cheat day...:grumble:0 -
LMAO @ Maxy! You crack me up!!!!!!.....
Just remember that cookies are a sometimes fooooood:)..If you have ever seen that episode of Sesame Street!
Anyways, Just checking in. TOM is here with a vengence. That beatch.
She is lucky my weight already went down before she came!!!!!!:) 0 -
Things went well for me! Did an hour at a Zumba class! it was amazing! =]
Thinking about doing it tomorrow, but I need a off day...
Idk... can't decide.. at least something maybe...
had a bad food day today, but since I worked out was still pretty well under my calories.. =]
---oh and sugar was a horrible day today0 -
LOL! Love Cookie Monster! Great that you have such a supportive friend though!
I did really well yesterday too. Did my very first 25 min run. Felt great! But weekends are my weakness...actually I think any entire day spent with my husband is my weakness. He's not a fan of healthy eating just yet. I'm working on him. Plus kid #4 was up at all hours last night (really bad teething) so energy for exercise is going to be rough. And, yeah, TOM here too. Bleh. But will try my best today. Hope everyone has a great weekend!0 -
So I'm trying to burn 3,500 calories and I was thinking it was friday today argggg... so now i have 700 more to burn in 48 hours plus work! Oh the joys of summer vacation and losing track of time :P0
-
Hello everyone!
Wow - very bad day yesterday. An argument with a friend led to emotional eating and now that TOM is here I am doubly discouraged. To make it even better, I thought it would be good to weigh myself this morning. After I stopped crying I headed to the gym. Lol. Much better food choices today and with a very early morning walk (2:30 am), I am hopeful I might also get some swimming time in tonight.
Hope all of you are having a great day!

Hey just checking in today, I bought my 3 hrm this month. I sent the other two back for various reasons. So I am not able to track my expenditures more accurately. I am confident that this tool is going to be a great asset to me. Now that I have finally found one that fits my needs.
Have a great weekend! See you at the weigh in on monday!0 -
Hey Ladies!
Seems a few of us are having a bad case of "the weekend slump". Hang in there!. That's 1 of the reasons i had weigh in set to monday. so we can push through the weekend temptations. Its hard, and i myself fail almost every weekend, but then i get back up and give it another shot!
@yankeefamily05: ya girl! kick aunt flo's butt and let her know who's boss! lol.
@ bethanyfromm: great work with zumba! i haven't gone to a proper class in weeks so im very jealous! lol. Its a great workout, and its so much fun!
@toadiejones: haha partners can be a bit tricky, but try encouraging him to get on board the healthy bandwagon, he may actually like it!
@bethabeeg: losing track of time probably means your'e having fun, so enjoy it! 700 seems like alot, but i'm sure you can do it!
@ vrags2: Sorry to here bout your day hon! Tom and arguments aren't a great combination, you probably had hormones flying all over the place. But you pulled yourself together and got to the gym, so great work! hope you feel better soon!
@ Laura: i hear thrid times the charm! hopefully this hrm work like a dream for you. good luck!
HOPE EVERYONE HAS AN AWESOME WEEKEND!!!!0 -
Thanks for the great support Maxylicious!
Was sick yesterday and only had some toast with peanut butter, an apple, and a bit of the kids macaroni and cheese at dinner...and I was STILL over on sugar!!! *sigh* Feeling better today. Hope husband is too and we can go for our Sunday family bike ride! Want to make sure it is a good day for Mondays weigh-in! Good luck everyone!0 -
I have a question for everyone
What do you prefer the Digital scale or the old fashioned ring around the weight scale?
I have a Digital scale but right now she is reading everybody weights as different each time you step on even if it's a few seconds later.... She doesn't need a new battery so I'm not really sure what is going on she may just be on the fritz. However I'm thinking of replacing her with an old fashioned ring around the weight scale. At least then I have some sort of way of fixing it if things go wery.
Thoughts or suggestion would be devine!!0 -
Alright sorry I haven't posted.. had to work 16 hours saturday (CNA) and then yesterday after work I went to a reception for my cousins wedding.. busy busy! cant wait for monday!!!!0
-
Well I made it to 22 minutes on the elliptical today! Yay! I also got a walk in and did the recumbent bike. I also bought zumba for my wii. I am not sure if I will get to try it out or not today but I know I will sometime next week. I also have some other videos that I had bought and have never used so I am hoping I am on a roll! Thanks Max for having this challenge it was just the right thing to get me moving!0

Keep the scale in the same place every time you use it. I have a digital one and I have a board I put under it so it is level all the time. It makes a huge difference!0 -
Oh yea Hrm update...It works like a charm, but I was not burning as many calories as I thought. Which makes sense why when I was not counting my exercise with my calories I was losing more weight here. So it is a little disappointing that I dont burn 300 some odd calories doing 15 minutes on the elliptical but as least now I know where I stand and can work with the numbers I have. Because it is all about energy in and energy out.0

@ LauraLLee Well I made it to 22 minutes on the elliptical today!
That is amazing!!! I cannot use one of those machines to save my life... I'm not built right or something for them...0 -
Hellllooooo Girls!:).....Just wanted to check in:)....I just FINALLY ordered myself an HRM. I am so excited for it to come in. I am sure I haven't been burning as many calories on the elliptical as I thought, but I have still been losing weight. Isn't that weird?
Anyway, It is my TOM (grr) But one thing I have noticed *CAUTION TMI ALERT* Is it completely CLEANS me out. Normally, I only go number 2 every other day. But during TOM its like 3 times a day. Please tell me I am not the only one....
I am posting my weight now, Because it is almost tomorrow:)....Goal for this week is to eat better, bump up my elliptical time from 32 minutes to 35 minutes...And to be happy as usual:)!:-D GOod luck this week!

Please don't forget to post your current weight. Remember, i need all the weigh ins in by TONIGHT. No more waiting on people, coz the longer i wait, the longer it takes for me to plug in the numbers and get the chart up for everyone.
Hope you all had an amazing week!
Have an awesome Monday!0 -

Well, once again I will take a lb considering I didn't exercise all weekend and totally messed up eating (was sick & didn't eat Saturday and then totally splurged on Sunday). But that leaves me needing to lose 5.2 lbs in the next 3 weeks. If focussed, I think it can still be done! This weeks goals:
1. To get my husband on board. Need his support for these last 13 or so lbs!
2. Exercise everyday (c25k 3x, elliptical 3x, zumba, + walks&bike rides with kids)
3. Increase water intake.
Good luck everyone!0 -
