    Thanks Tuscaroragirl


    It's funny that you hear that when your thinking about a donut but thats good it's keeping you from it.

    Don't be afraid to post, just do it. We are here for you no matter what girlfriend. We will work through this stuff together!

    How about I was watching P90x today. Key word watching I got it from a resale store the whole 12 disc thing. It looks pretty intense still trying to wrap my mind around it. I'm kinda limited to working out at home because I've got my baby here. It's to cold for me to walk with him outside.

    Does Anyone have any suggestions for fun but semi intense workout videos ?

    I've committed to 25 jumping jacks, 25 squats, 25 sit ups and 25 push ups a day
    At home. Trying to work up to a more than sedentary fitness level. It's rough ugh......!



    I've been interested in Piyo, not so intense more yoga and stretching, and a couple reviews I found show it to promising.

    Congratulations every one on your weight losses and commitments to exercise. I have recently started trying to ride 3 times per week on a recumbent bike. As you can all see I have actually put on 3.6 pounds in the last two weeks(Lots of bloating) I guess your unwanted fat has found me:). I am a great gainer but I want to be a great loser, I am trying to hang in there. Best wishes to everyone for next week

    Good morning, ladies,

    Hope you had a great weekend! No change on the scale for me (weighed Friday) but I'm not letting it get me down. Last week, I joined a weight watchers group at work. I'm excited about it because with this program they are sponsoring nutrition seminars as well as group workouts during lunch. We weigh in on Wednesday & I am kind of nervous but also hoping for a change, even a small one. Take care ladies & stay strong! This journey isn't easy but we will get there! Have a great week!

    Man I've been so busy running around with all my kids stuff the past couple weeks it's been exhausting. I was worried about how things were gonna go for me. I've been watching the biggest loser for extra motivation and envisioning myself as a smaller fit me( Jedi mind tricks) I think I've been to tired to overeat. Thank God for active kids

    Wk3 233.6, I didn't gain but also didn't loose any weight. It was a crazy week and I made some bad food choices. Oh well. It's a new week now.

    Good job everyone!!

    Hi ladies,

    I finally had some weight loss:

    SW: 250
    W1: 250
    W2: 250
    W3: 244

    We weighed in today for our weight watchers program at work & I lost six pounds! I reevaluated what I had been doing for the last few weeks but still remained within the same number of calories . Starting last Friday, I cut out coffee, diet soda, am more mindful of sodium & sugar content, cut down on carbs, and upped my protein & water. I realized that coffee & diet soda were just a habit & I don't actually have to have them. The day I found out I was pregnant last march, I quit coffee, soda, & caffiene. After my son was born, I fell back into that habit of coffee & soda but since giving it up again, I had forgotten how much better I feel without it & I am not so sluggish in the afternoons. My daily treat is now cup of earl grey tea from Tim Hortons with splenda and skim milk instead of the extra large coffee;-)

    Happy Friday eve & keep up the good work, ladies! We can do this!

    Fantastic news tuscaroragirl! Way to go.

    I am also celebrating today. I weighed in at the doctors office at 194.4. Yea I meet my February goal of 195.

    I was also able to complete a full 30 minutes on the elliptical. A month ago this would have not been possible. A friend challenged me to get out of my comfort zone and I pushed harder. I keep her in mind every time I hop on. Her motto is go until you get to a hundred calories then if you want to quit you can. Well today I burned 165 calories. I am so happy with that.

    I am hoping that this group with continue on with new monthly challenges and we can all celebrate together! Here's to a healthier tomorrow .
