    Ugh. I gained .5 lb. I knew it was coming after yesterday's big meal, but still disappointing. However, I've lost 1.5" in my waist and 1" in my chest, so yay!

    25th July FIRST DAY : 169 lbs
    1st August : 167.8 lbs
    8th August : 167.4 lbs
    15th August
    22nd August FINAL DAY

    So mad at myself. I was at 165.8 on friday... then this weekend was a bomb. I was back over 170 as of yesterday. So I will take 167.4 this am... half gone, now to get the other half to go away. Why oh why do we do this to ourselves. That Arby's beef & cheddar with curly fries & cheese sticks didn't taste THAT good. Now to just remember this feeling NEXT time I want to stray. Nothing tastes as good as fit feels.

    Oh - got my 60 minutes in today. They changed up our class to a Circuit training. Boy did that kick my butt. I really needed that. I did not do anything yesterday. Well, I went shopping all day, but didn't measure or count as a workout. I am certain I walked at least an hour, but it really doesn't count

    July 25: 156.6 lbs
    Aug 1: 157.8 lbs
    Aug. 8: 155.8

    I hit 155!! Yay!! And lost that extra pound from last week which is really nice. I've been doing my hour everyday! Though I took it easier over the weekend and skipped the strength training. Not feeling so great this morning but I'm hoping to feel better so I can go to the gym later this afternoon!

    Good luck to everyone this week!

    Hello everyone! After a bad weekend, short workouts and eating terribly, I avoided the scale on Monday and to make matters worse didn't workout because I wasn't feeling well. So today started my day with a good workout (which will give me motivation for the rest of the day to eat right and get the rest of my workouts in!).

    Week 1: 162
    Week 2: 161
    Week 3: 160 (disappointing because I had made it to 159 last week so I've got some ground to make up this week)

    Todays workouts include 30 minute cardio mix of walking, jogging, and biking this morning, 40 minutes walk at lunch, and 45 minute rowing class after work.

    Have a good day everyone!

    OMG! Under 150! Today I weighed in at 148.5! I've been doing two workouts a day: running and zumba; tennis and yoga. Together they come out to about 1.5-2 hours. I do think that I'm going to take it easy today, though, and let me muscles rest a bit.

    Keep going, everyone!

    did my 60 minute plyo class last night & 60 minute kickboxing class this morning. I have been doing great with water as well. I was able to re-lose my weight I gained this weekend, so I am back down under my low. I thought it would take all week so this is good news. Now to keep it off

    Hello everyone!
    I am doing quite well with the exercising. I am doing about 90 mins a day of Turbofire, swimming and walking.
    Today I have decided I will cut down on sugar, biscuits, bread and chocolate, I want to see if I binge less if I don't crave those foods.

    Keep it up everyone!

    Hi everyone! I havent been checking in because i've been in the moving process, so my eating habits have been horrible but at least moving boxes counts as exercise :)

    Anyway, I'm settled back in at school and am visiting my family at home this week so hopefully i'll be able to get exercise in again (even if my eating habits still aren't quite right yet :( )

    Good morning everyone!!!

    since i've been lousy about checking in, here's what i've been up to since i've been home:
    wednesday - ran 4 miles with my brother, walked with a friend at the park, and walked with another friend to go get a beer (total: 5 miles, and still under calorie goal)
    thursday - met up with a friend at the gym she works at (she's a personal trainer and is so proud of me for losing weight). we worked out for an hour (more worked out our jaws than our bodies from all the talking lol). was a smidge over my calorie goal but thats ok with me
    today - just finished another four mile run. Felt fabulous, it was SUCH nice weather outside and it felt really good to go running through my hometown

    Hope everyone is having a great week!!!

    Hello everyone!
    Well, I have been doing Turbofire, swimming and walking everyday, as usual.

    The only thing is that my knees are starting to hurt, I think it is the Turbofire workout, so I won't do any jumping for the next few days.

    Everything else is good.
    I hope you are all having a great weekend, keep it up, and don't forget to check in on Monday :)

    Aug. 8: 155.8
    Aug. 14: 157.2

    So... I knew that I did awful this week... not with exercising but with eating so I decided to weigh in a day early instead of a day late to see the damage and kick my butt into gear. I'm up two lbs. :(. So back to work today ... I need to kick those two pounds this week to go back to school. Good luck with weigh ins tomorrow everyone!!
