The Kickin' Christmas Crew! [Closed]

Thinking of you Kendra! :happy:

Aww Joni - You are so sweet :flowerforyou:

That is awesome! I haven't gotten on the scale this week. TOM is in town (ugh)...but I started 30 Day Shred on Tuesday, so I may try my luck next week...even though I haven't made the best choices with my sweets intake...darn TOM. Its the only time I crave stuff I shouldnt be having.

Hi Joni,
Glad to see you can breathe a little and that you staid determind to excersise even by just doing it in your hotel room...that's great!!!

I just notice that your chart indicate that my goal for Dec 25th is to be at 160...not sure that's good since I started at 266.5 and was thinking of losing 25lbs...losing 100lbs before Christmas is absolutly imposible LOL. My goal for Christmas is to be at 241.5

Here's some updates on my "heart" health...
My husband wanted to get a new car (since the car I make him use is soo old, we're never sure he'll get to work on 4 wheels or by foot) so we went and got him a car (had to co-sign since we're already co-signed on my car)...so we picked it up last night and it's great. My daughter loves it and thinks it looks like a mustang (it's a Dodge Avenger RT/AWD 2008, black) so anyway, he drives me to work this morning in the new car and we ussualy park in front of my work to waste time a bit so this morning he was playing with his new stereo system. when he was done I lean forward to kiss him and stopped half way to see if he's going to go the other half. He did and he kissed me, BUT I didn't...my lips did NOT move. All I wanted was to be connected and feel his energy, warmth, skin...just for a moment then kiss him. So he moved right away and told me to get the f**k out of the car. If I'm just going to sit there and not move, he wants me out of the car... What a HUGE mistake that was. I don't know why my body did not kiss him back... What the heck is wrong with me?

Those charts are looking great! Great job Joni. I'm on TOM this week, but it didnt stop me from starting Jillians 30DS on Tuesday. Today is Day 4 and let me just say this women in kicking my butt. I haven't made the best food choices this week, so I am just not sure what the scale will say on Monday. I always make poor decisions when TOM is in town, ugh! I start Level 2 on 30DS on Tuesday, its so amazing how we all can keep going when our bodies are so sore! I hope everyone has a great weekend. Can I just say I am tired, my kids have been running me ragged. :-/

Hey Joni just wanted to say thanks for making the chart. !!!! We love it. Hoping to see a change in the scale this week if I have the nerve to get on ;-)

Hi Everyone, hope you enjoyed your weekend. I will weigh in tomorrow...and let you know the results...

I weighed in at 183.6 this morning...but I saw 183.2 earlier, so I'm hoping next week is a bigger loss. Good luck to everyone who is weighing in!!!

1 pound down is what the scale said this morning... (tonight is Day 8 of 30DS - L1) I gotta get my behind in the gym, haven't been since I started 30DS. Need to get on that treadmill...may tomorrow night...Hope everyone else is doing great... these 1 pound losses are crazy...either I stay the same or lose a pound or 1/2 a pound...it sure would be nice to get on the scale and see like 2 or 3 pounds loss...I would do the SUPERHAPPY dance, but for now I better take what I can get!

154.4 this morning but I really can't complain because I haven't been doing anything lately...I have a LONG story to tell you lovely ladies later when I get a bit more time, but basically my life will be A LOT different a month from now and I should be able to get BACK ON TRACK for good then

Oh super excited to hear what is up - can't wait :happy:

Great job guys with the weight loss...

Mandie, I can't wait to read your story!!!

Well get it done then Celine! Your doing great! I love your positive vibes that are flowing...and getting up at 5:30am on a day off is pure dedication (I remember those days)... and hiking with your child is awesome. I am going to do that with my (lazy) kids they just dont know it yet. ;-) I want to tell you how proud I am of you and how you keep pressing on despite your personal life challenges, that is what it takes mamaz... And oh yeah I remember when I hit 250, it felt great. The biggest I let myself get was 283 pounds and believe me I never in a million years thought I would be that big you couldn't have told me in my teens or 20s that I'd be that big, but I have learned life happens and if you don't take care of yourself as we take care of others it works against you! Weighing in tomorrow, not expecting to see much of a difference because of 30DS, but I've been losing those inches and I am loving it!

I once again am not happy with the scale this week and will not be recording my weight...again. I will be changing my weigh ins to once a month instead of every week. I need to get my mind of off the numbers for awhile. I will still be around for support from and for everyone.

Congrats to everyone on their losses, you guys are all doing awesome :flowerforyou:

0.5 pound down...not really worth reporting :-/ (specially since I usually lose a pound, this 1/2 pound is like a slap in the face). But I guess I better be happy considering I've ate ice cream this week (something I dont normally eat because of my lactose intolerance), I also had chocolate chip cookies...thanks to Jillian Michael's 30DS at least I am not gaining...that is one trainer that gets results, her and Bob are off tha hook!

What's going on with you girl!? Is there something in your diet, exercise or personal that is going on...I totally understand been there before...I was plateaued for months maneuvering in my 220s I didnt think I would ever get out of them and people kept saying that maybe my body was happy with that size, I was like oh hell to the no, how can anybody's body especially a woman's body be happy with anything over 200, NOT! So I fluctuated and finally in taking some time off from working out and watching everything I ate for about 7-10 days I came back, got me an HRM and started pushing again and low and behold plateau dropped...my next goal is ONDERLAND baby! And I am less then 10 pounds away from that...time to get my booty back in gear! You can do it we are cheering you on!

Not sure what is going on right now, I have some ideas that I am going to start palying with and see what happens and hopefully things will straighten out soon for me.

Ugh girls I am so sorry I've been absolutely useless for the past few days. My ex sent me an e-mail (A FRIGGIN E-MAIL!) to tell me he's seeing someone else. This is the guy who said he didn't want to be in a relationship. I'm so sick of men sometimes. But anyway, Joni has been back to emotional eating for a few days and is really regretting it now. So need to use this anger and transform it into exercise again, to start I'm going to make my first attempt at running home after work today, let's see how that goes.

awww Joni...I'm so sorry. I know exactly how you feel. But why the hell did he tell you that he was seing someone else, if you two were broken up??? In french we call them "sans coeur"...just to rub it in??? does he know that you have a girlfriend support group that will support you in anything your going threw??? and we're ready to take a plane from Canada and go kick his *kitten*..... what an idiot, but I know there are still feeling in your heart for him, cause otherwise this would've not hurt you that bad. Get back on your feet, stop bingging and get your butt at the gym! But on the other hand, I'll be thinking about you, because I know that you are hurting.
Have a good run...you WILL feel beter after you've done it.

Well I started my day with a fight with the husband...over a freaken song he dowloaded last night and it just struck a nerve on my personal safe that I thought was locked up deep... And I did not feel like going to the gym either (because of how I feel over this fight issue), but I'm going anyways...I'm starving (because I don't want to eat before, or else, I'll be sick in the gym and I don't want that) and I have to wait for my collegue to be back from her lunch date to replace me at reception...only then will i be able to go down to the gym, workout, then come back up and eat my chickpeas and red kidney beans salad!!!
