    Yayyyy, great challenge that.

    I'm doing OK with my calories, but I have to confess to being a real beginner at exercise.

    I work full time and its still dark and cold in the mornings/evenings here,so I do a brisk walk at lunchtime and that's about it so far.

    I'm way too self conscious to go to class, has anyone any suggestions where I can begin? Go easy on me, I really need to start gently!

    Luv Flois
    Being to self conscious I totally understand. But one day I just decided to go for it and I walked my 320 pound butt into a low-impact aerobic class filled with skinny-minys! And, you know what!? Everyone was so nice, I got a great work-out, and felt good about myself! Don't let your weight or your shyness stop you from achieving greatness!!!

    OK soooooo, I am a little bummed, but not really majorly bummed...I gained :sad: .5 lbs this week. :noway: I know what I changed...I listened to all the posts about doing your BMR and making sure you at least ate that many calories each day to have your body reach its potential for weight loss..OBVIOUSLY my body doesn't agree with the wisdom for everyone else:grumble: ! Should have known, it's so abnormal everywhere else why did I think it would be different with weight loss????:embarassed: I even worked out MORE this week, that's why it bums me. But hey, it's a bump a blip no big deal...I'll do better next week and I can say I tried the "normal" route!:laugh:

    So, it's back down to the 1200 calories a day and eating my exercise calories again. Should have remembered that old adage, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    I'll report my total cardio for the week later. Yesterday I did 45 minutes.:bigsmile:

    Hope everyone else did great! Thanks for the prayers, will keep you updated. I believe God is opening a HUGE window, we just have to look for it so we don't miss it!:wink:

    Okay, so I only lost .8 lbs this week, but I'll take it! I think I've got some added water weight that kicked in since I weighed a whole 1.4 lbs less yesterday morning and I've really been sticking to my calories and excercise. I even turned away decadent chocolate cake yesterday at a birthday party. Hopefully next week will show a decrease in the water weight, plus!

    Okay so I weighed myself this morning and either my scale is broken or i'm doing something right lol. According to my scale i'm down almost 18 lbs from about a week and a half ago, but to me that just doesn't seem possible. But the scale I am using is also old, so i'm going to invest in a new one and update it.

    Down 3 more pounds this week! :bigsmile: :blushing: :bigsmile:

    Unfortunately, I haven't done well on the cardio challenge this week because I've been laid up in bed suffering gallstone attacks. :grumble: :mad: :cry: Quite possibly the most painful consistent pain ever. I'm about to go get some sleep as I just got home from work and didn't sleep a wink last night. :sick:

    Keep up the great work ladies. I'm looking forward to another challenge as soon as I'm feeling better. :flowerforyou:

    kge8580 - was looking through the pages and your scripture quote caught my eye. Yes, I have been praying but I realize I didn't commit this whole process to the Lord. THANK YOU so very much for being bold and brave to have that scripture there.....I needed it!!

    Yours in Him - in Him I can do ALL things!!!:flowerforyou:

    Hi all

    Weigh in is 249, down 1lb.

    Cardio is still brisk walking but I did 30 minutes a day and you've all inspired me to get on and do some more next week. The mornings are lighter now and I feel more inclined to spend an extra 15 minutes on somehting before I go to work.
    Still not ready to do it in public (!) but I have no excuse not to skip and jump to music in the spare room have I!!
