Sisterhood HCP Week 5

I hope not! We have to stay together and stay strong! I am addicted to this site! It is the first thing I check in the morning and then I check it through out the whole evening cause that is when you all post.

i'm still around too. Just haven't posted a bunch this week. I too am addicted to this site - it's my homepage even! Been a very busy and important week in my house. My man took his ex-wife to court for child support that she was supposed to pay starting last January and hadn't paid a dime. Long story, but she's one of those rare women who never should have been a mom. I hope I can offer my stepson all the things she's lacked in his life. Anyway, to say the least, it's been emotional around here and tense. All is okay though -she made a scene in court and basically shot herself in the foot. Hopefully our lives can go on in peace.

Not expecting to have lost anything come Tuesday. Not that I've gone off the wagon, but my efforts have been less than normal. We're already planning on having homemade burgers for supper (I do make awesome ones if I say so myself) and going out for DAIRY QUEEN after! Trying to keep things in check in preparation for that splurge!

Happy weekend everyone! Take care! :flowerforyou:

I think it jus seems like a lot of people are gone. Maybe like you said they just are not posting much on here. It just seems like that first post, when we were voting on a name or the first week that we has a lot more people. I like our group, we all have great imput's.
PumpkinHeadsMomma- Are you keeping track of our weightloss each week? I didn't know since you said some people are sending you there weight directly. So many groups are run so differently. Some are keeping track of weight some are doing challenges. Thanks for being our ringleader.

If i remember right isn't pumpkin head one of those scary stories........I remember seeing a movie like that. Now granted it was a block buster or anything, but pumpkin head was no joke...I dang sure wouldn't want to meet the one that created that thing! :noway: :

I think I saw that movie!!! Definitely not even a "B" movie, but I'm such a chicken about horror films that I probably still lost sleep over it...:ohwell:

Poop Mister Sister and Missis Sister!!! I hope you all get some much needed rest, and make sure to drink a bunch of fluids!!! Feel better soon, and you two will be in my prayers!!!

Hello ladies and gents!

It's a new week, and I did horrible last week with both exercise and eating, so I am brushing off last week and starting a new!

Lets all make it a good one this week :flowerforyou:

Oh yea....my name is Meg, currently in Michigan (only for another 6 months, thank God! )

I realized my problem last week was eating out then I was so full at night I didn't want to work out :blushing: SO this morning I went to the grocery store and got lots of Yummy fresh food to motivate me not to go out and I am going to stick with the P90x workouts consistenly :drinker:

Hopefully everyone is having a relaxing Sunday (Im at work all day :grumble: ) and feeling better this week

iwanttostayhealthy- Sorry if you felt left out! We kind get in our own little land here. I didn't think you asked anything, if so sorry:( Seems to me like you and your daughter are doing well together. I wish I had someone to go through this journey with! I hate not haveing a workout buddy:( In NY I had a group of 4 friends and we would go and talk the whole time it was so nice. So are yo uall getting a new tredmil and time soon or sticking with the grat outdoors? If you like workout videos then you should try Leslie Samson Walk Slim or Walk Away the Pounds. They are in home walking from 1 mile to 5.

Tid- Yes there was a movie called Pumpkinhead! Was it with like a headless horseman or am I thinking of something else? Sorry you and the Misses don't feel well.

Pepamint83- Sorry we left your Mom out! Nothing intentional. Glad you were able to do the 30 day shred. I was thinking of ordering it cause everyone raves about it. I love my workout videos but am getting kinda burnt out. Also I dont mind sharing names. Not sure about everyone else. My name is Christine and I am from MD originally and we have moved alot due to Military which has put in in Germany for the time being. Which is why I am almost a day ahead all the time.

PumpkinHeadsMomma- I can't believe that you haven't gotten your 30 day shred yet. Who did you order it from so I make sure not to order from them? I am lucky enough to workout at the gym in the day while my oldest is at school. However I like to do some short cardio in the evening. I like the Walk Away the pounds videos cause there are not crunches or squats or lunges. All of which I hate. Also maybe for a challenge this week we could make it that you only weigh one time. I know a bunch of us weigh daily. Another one could be to try the push up or sit up challenge. Another could be to do an extra day of cardio. Another could be if working out in a gym to use a different machine than usual. Another could be to try and run. I could think of them all day. I just wandered about tracking cause I have seen a lot of threads do a spreadsheet in excel and post it with the updates. That was the only reason I was curious.

Hopetobeinshape- Or shall I say Meg. I know what you mean about not wanting to workout after being full. What is p90X like? It seems so expensive and very intence. There are a couple of you doing that video on this thread.

Ok as for me! I had a good weekend, and am down to 196!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited, I want to scream on the roof top. I have also had like 4 people tell me that I have lost weight and look good. Not to mention that my hubby is noticing when we get on the webcams. He is wishing he was home to enjoy! I actually took a day off of working out yesterday. I have not taken a day off since I started. Most days I do cardio two times a day. I was just feeling really lazy. I thought I deserved it also. So today I did a video but then had a birthday party to go to. I didn't know she would have snacks out and I ate more than I should have. Not too much but it was basically and early dinner. Which is ok cause I am still not hungry. I have a real weakness for buffets and party's. Well I have to get my lo to bed. Hope you all have a great Sunday! Only two more days till weigh in!

YogaX is my most hated enemy... I work my way through it, but by the end of it I feel an intense dislike towards Tony Horton for being able to do all the poses:laugh: . I am finishing up my phase 2 recovery week in the Lean program, and I have decided to switch to the Classic program starting on Tuesday... I am really looking forward to making the change, because I love the weight training aspect of this program. I'm NOT loking forward to Plyo, from all that I've read about it... Which one are you on?

Yea I hear that yoga is horrible thats maybe why I am holding off on buying it :laugh: I just do the alternating schedule of the cardio dvd's and the strength trainging. I sort of follow the classic in the sense that I still do legs, arms, chest on alternating days so there is still the muscle confusion. But I do a cardio day instead of the yogax, so I do the full 6 days just alternating between those then I do xstretch on my rest day.

Today I made a vow to myself to not miss any days for four wks straight now matter how early or how late I must stay up at night to do it

first off congrats on the 25 pounds christine thats amazing and for people telling you they notice wow. thanks for being so nice about my mother who i will let introduce herself. Kacee i got my 30 day shred from amazon 9 bucks but i hope you get yours soon but like i said be careful i am more positive than ever that it is ment to be its own workout.

so since i brought it up :blushing: the names Ariella and like many of you know i am from the big apple NYC (New York City) born and raised no place i rather be. but when you guys talk about the outdoors i get it cause my dad takes us camping every summer for two days and we do canooing its amazing (great cardio) today i am soaking wet as i write this because i did my 2 1/2 + walk outside uphill in the rain (which decided to get worse the longer i was outside):bigsmile: and i feel great i did 50 minutes and went the extra path cause my mother had to work and i heard her voice in my head. i am worried about weigh in on tues not cause i did anything wrong (ive actually never excercised this much in my life and my dad told my mother hes so proud) but because of what happend the last two weeks but af is gone and ive been eating a little more like u guys said so we shall see.

so thats my story name Ariella living in NYC and im coming to the end of my first year of grad school and summer cant come any faster (biking hiking swimming hopefully and camping canooing can not wait)


hope everyone is enjoying this fine sun :drinker:

Hello Angie from AZ here. I'm still around but never have a lot of time to post (though I love reading about everyone is doing). I am doing well. After a couple of rough weeks I seem to be back on track. I generally weigh-in on Saturdays and yesterday I was very happy to see that I have finally hit 140 - that means I am down 18 lbs since I started Jan 6.

Glad to see that everyone is sticking with it and doing so well! Go team!!

I'm doing the P90X Program. I know there are a couple of us on here that are doing it. It is pretty intense, if you are not looking for something that tough, which it really isn't too bad once you get into the routine of it, it can mostly be done with 25 lb weights and below. You might want to look into the Power 90. I did one week of that and I realized it was just too light for my taste. I needed something with a little more grit to keep me interested. The Power 90 program is also done by Tony Horton and is a great way to get used to the principals used in the P90X workouts. As of right now I am on phase 2 the second week. I haven't followed the diet at all on the first round. I do however plan on following it the second round. Because we just booked our annual beach trip with the friends on Friday and I have to be in good shape by the second week of May!!!


By the way, my name is Jeremy from Alabama!

I just bought a HRM, too!!! I'm getting it in the mail by Tuesday... I really need to know how much I'm burning, so I'm really excited that my hubby let me get it!!! It's a pain to guess how many calories that we burn, and I think that's why some people don't eat all their exercise calories listed by MPF-they might not be that accurate, so you might not see any weight loss. My hubby made out, though. He gets to buy an Ipod since I get my HRM...:bigsmile:
