well done sarahliz i find tracking all calories hardest part its so easy to think oh its only a tic tac or a glass of juice and then before i notice id have gone over0 -
Good morning all! I am also incredibly happy its Friday! I'm a pre-k teacher so I spend my days chasing around 4-year-olds, which gives me tons of exercise! We're supposed to have thunderstorms all day, which means no running for me, but I'll definitely find something else to do to burn more calories!
After all that, I am treating myself to a movie and an evening on the couch after all the hard work I've put in this week! Anyone else have fun plans for tonight?0 -

good morning all and happy saturday i just love the weekend
today i need slow a little pulled a muscle in my calf not happy and my headache is still there migraine tablets havent fully worked yet so need another dose but im determined its not going to stop me just slow me down alittle
hope everyone has a great saturday0 -
I would love to join as well...my sisters wedding is October 1st and I would LOVE to be back in my pre-baby favorite jeans. I have decided to stop looking at the scale because I have put on a lot of muscle so I do not think the numbers will be as accurate. I am just going to go by inches (and maybe a once a week scale session) to see if I am having progress...but mainly the way my pants fit.
I know this sounds terrible but have some terrific meals planned for this evening and tomorrow morning breakfast...but after that it is ON...I will measure/weigh on Monday for my "start" weight and then do it I guess every weekend?
I am really good on working out but I have been terrible lately on my eating so that will be my biggest challenge - and some good motivation will probably go a long way.

i like the way my clothes are starting to fit its alot more motivating than what my scales are saying not got up the courage for my jeans just yet but i will i may wait for my birthday july 2nd and then get them out and pray they fit so i can look good on my bday
let me know your target when you weigh or even just the target jeans size/inch loss whichever you prefer its mostly about motivating each other to reach where we want to be and celebrating our victories good luck all of us0 -

Good morning! I totally agree, weekends go way too fast! I'm about to do my workout for the day. Then I'm doing some homework (I'm in grad school), and going over to my parents' house for a Father's Day cookout. Enjoy what's left of the weekend!!0 -
i have done nothing so far my calf is throbbing still so im trying just take it easy keep having a slow walk around my house but avoiding trampoline and jogging for today its kinda frustrating as i was just in the routine of exerciseing daily hoping it wont affect my weigh in tomorrow i only lost 0.2lbs last week wa shoping for abit more this week but i will be happy to just maintain if not
hope you have a great fathers day cook out save me somthing healthy and veggie lol0 -
aarrgh the batteries in my balance board are dead lol but never mind spent an hour shifting furniture round today in bedrooms, and have done 20 mins on zumba not walked today cos kids are shattered after yesterdays walk and just want to play with friends so going to do another 20 mins zumba and a free jog when they in bed0

im hoping for the scale sto at least stay the same this week a loss is a major bonus seen as i havent bene able to exercise properly with my calf0 -
good morning id say happy monday but lets face it its the least favourite day of the week lol its that start of early up school run come home mad clean school run home more tidying school run again and then the ttime rush of feed the kids sort there stuff for tomorrow and get babies bathed and ready for bed and in between try to fit in exercise and meal planning lol i love my kids but they make dieting hard work
this week well i maintained my weight id have loved a loss but seen as i havent been able exercise for 3 days with my calf ill take it the plus side is its only twinging alittle now so hopefully i can get back on track today and tomorrow.

hiimshadoe 30lbs loss sounds great and hopefully we can all reach our goals im fed up of being in the overweight catagory and my kids running rings round me when we go out
cdpm birthdays are a great motivater no one likes looking tubby on a special day hence my starting to diet again my bday is july 2nd and i didnt want to be in a size 16 ive dropped to a 12 but id love to lose the excess weight and tone up how much do you want to lose or is it just a dress size or 2 and the weight is a bonus0 -
I'm in if it's still open. I start my third year at university in october and it will be a few weeks before my birthday so i want to get into shape and look good in my birthday dress. Count me in0
-
yes i want to get fit for halloween0

getting fit for october is starting today (for me)
todays weight/measurements:
weight = 148.2
waist = 27"
hips = 37"
rthigh = 22"
lthigh = 22"
my goal weight/measurements...OR if I fit into my favorite pre-pregnancy jeans before I hit my goal
weight = 138
waist = 26"
hips = (i don't care)
rthigh = 20"
lthigh = 20"
i am hoping with some good eating along with my excercise that i will finally be able to do this. My twins just turned 2 and i still can't fit into half of my jeans and my engagement ring is too small (at least i can wear the wedding band) so here we go
-mabry0 -
