    Because we've grown so much I am looking for a Team Captain for each team. This person should be someone that is 100% committed to not only their own success but each and every team member on the team. This must be someone that logs in DAILY.

    I still feel blah and am working on getting back into a routine after the holiday. I did really well to stay away from the sweets and stay active dispite the 8+ hours spent in the car.

    In other news, I am out for c25k for the next 4 weeks while I deal with my bad hip. Dr says walking and low impact are OK as long as I don't have any discomfort. I will need to up my nutrition game to offset the restricted exercise.

    Oh nooooo! I hope you get well soon, :) congrats on staying away from the sweets. If you have any of a message pad that might help your back! My husband but me one a couple years ago, I use mine all the time. My fits on my recliner so it's perfect at night when I watch TV

    @SweeteeBri, @Serendipity0913 Thank you so much for the advice about C25K, I'm definitely not doing great when it comes to pacing myself and it definitely needs more work, it probably doesn't help that the manual treadmill I'm using to complete the program has pretty much a permanent incline lol. That being said, as long as there is progress, I don't mind taking longer to complete the program.

    As for my last couple of workouts, yesterday I did 45 min on the elliptical and today was gym day with a full body strength training program. Tomorrow is my swimming day and C25K W1D1 version 2.0 lol

    @GrandmaJackie I weigh in on Sundays Australia time, aka Saturdays US time

    I'm trying to get back into pt. Waiting on insurance to see what they will cover. I am 5ft and my 9lb son sat so low during my pregnancy he almost completely separated my hip and I couldn't walk for 3 months. Fun stuff. He's 3.5 and I'm still having issues.

    Hello all!
    My name is Amy, I'm 40 years old. Married and mom of 3 kids. I'm at my highest weight ever. ..not counting pregnancy. I'm 190 lbs. My ultimate goal is to lose 40ĺbs and build muscle. I want the strength. I had a personal trainer for a while and was seeing results, but my 11yr old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia at the end of summer 2015...I packed on the weight.
    So looking for support, food ideas, workout ideas. If I could lose 10 lbs in this challenge it would be a great start! !
    Hello everybody! !

    Hi Amy!! Please forgive the late reply. Hope all is going well with your daughter. Looking forward to having you in our group. I too am looking for food ideas. I love to experiment with food. Hopefully we can challenge of posting recipes or picts of meals we've prepared :) Were you able to start the C25K? How is it going?

    Morning,

    Since the scale has stopped going down, I'm doing BOTH this week! Next week I'll have my grand son for 4 days so I'm really going to work HARD on both AGAIN.

    Goals for today:
    1 Aqua Fit class
    2. Run / Elliptical
    3. No late night eating
    4. Hit fiber and protein goals

    Log term goals

    1. Get to my maintence weight
    2. Consistently with my diet
    3. Consistently with strength training
    4. ONCE I enter my maintence weight STAY within 5 pounds!
