    I would love to join this group. I just started counting my calories again. I have had major back pain and my doc said if I don't lose abdominal weight I will always have pain. With that said I am now really focusing on my weight. I really need motivation to stay on track and this seems like a great group to help me succeed.

    welcome aboard

    to motivate you more my back first went when i was 16 im 32 now at my heaviest it was painful all the time felt like bones grating together now it only hurts when the weather is really cold so its a great idea to keep at it

    im here all the time on on and off here more than im on fb now its my new obsession ill post all acheivments on fridays and just gather them thruout the week not just weight loss acheivments it can be inches starting a new exercise or even just staying under calories whatever is acheivment fo you will be recorded

    happy monday! i am determined to lose at least .5 lbs or more this week - this is the week to get to my next number. before I had babies and turned 30 losing 5-10lbs was a breeze. Now I really get that it is much harder as you age - which is a great motivator to get it off now so all we have to do is maintain for the rest of our lives.

    I have a couple of cookie orders this week...but luckily it is not going to mess with my going to the gym. So my goal(s) for this week
    -no cookies
    -workout 6 days this week (burn at least 450+ each time)
    -eat healthy
    -entertain my mother-in-law (so she doesn't think about her diagnosis)

    it is going to be a great week!! get your hearts pumping girls and drop some lbs (we only have1.5 weeks left of July)

    Im right there with you. Allergies suck :( My Fiance wants a cat really bad and a dog but I'm just to allergic.

    Goodluck monkeysmum!

    Sidenote: I am a bit worried that I am losing weight to fast. This week I weigh in as 243.1. Its about another 5. something to 6 lb lost. Im worried that the weight may rebound.

    Goal: Drink a lot of water and finish level 1 of 30 day shred.

    I just said to my boyfriend today how much harder it is now then when you are in your early twenties! I love what you said, to get the weight down now and then just maintain. I will keep thinking of that! :smile:

    Ok - Tuesday Morning and after a killer gym session last night I'm ready to repeat it again!
    I have a bit of a mini goal that I need help with. There's an important family wedding next Saturday and I'd like to lose 4lbs for it. I think that it's not too stupid a goal & if I don't meet that mini goal I won't cry or give up as I'll know i've tried as hard as I can.
    If anyone has any hints or tips that might help me out that would be great!

    cut out alcohol, breads/pasta/carbs after 2pm, no fruit after 2pm, no sugar
    ...i am going to start doing this monday-fridays (starting next week) to see if it helps me out some. But this is a great way to get rid of some extra lbs/bloat along with losing weight.

    so i kicked butt yesterday and it felt great - did total conditioning in the morning (burned 600 calories) and then my neighbor wanted to go walk/run with our double strollers in the evening (she also has twins) so we hit the pavement for another 400 calories. Of course my scale is not showing me the love this morning but that is fine. I know I did a great job and that I ate the proper food. Will just go by measurements if I have to come Friday morning.

    Heading to the gym this morning to do a long run - hopefully 5-7 miles and goal today is to not have any food after dinner. I had a bowl of cereal after dinner and think that might be why the scales were not nice...and it was fiber cereal to boot :)
