    Thanks for the welcome :smile: I weigh in on wednesdays, so when I post em on Fridays they'll be a couple days old, lol.
    I did great cal wise today, and in the gym (as previously mentioned) I am just wondering if anyone has a successful routine in the gym. Although I am enjoying being there much more now, I still feel like a lost puppy. I try to do 10-15 min on the stair climbing thing (which KILLS me) and then at least 1-2 miles on the treadmill. Then I kind of piddle around in the weight area and do 2 different machines that work thighs and quads and 3-5 different machines that work the arms, chest, and back. Then I walk/jog in intervals around the track 3-5 times and then if I go w/ my SIL we usually end off the work out by playing ping pong (sounds silly but it actually burns cals.)

    This is what I do EVERY day (except Wed. and Sun.) The gym is in the university I attend so there are no trainers or anyone knowledgeable there. I joined a new gym a couple weeks ago that is opening around the corner, but not until the 1st of June, so until then I am stuck with the university gym.

    Anyway, any suggestions are all welcome, I need to spice it up! :laugh:

    I just found a seemingly simple recipe for flat bread. They can double as pizza crusts and are only 110 cals each. I haven't tried it out yet, I was thinking of making some homemade flatbread sandwiches and fruit for dinner tomorrow night. I'll let you know how they turn out...

    The recipe is 1 cup bread flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/3 cup warm water, 1tsp ev olive oil
    It says to mix the flour and salt. Mix water & oil separately and then pour over flour and salt mix. Process to form a ball. (if ball is hard *kitten* more warm water). Cut into quarters and work 1 quarter at a time, roll into a 12" by 4" rectangle. Place all 4 on a cookie sheet.

    Adjust oven rack to lowest position and preheat at 500 degrees. Top with ingredients of choice and bake for 10-12 minutes. It says if cheese is a topping, to bake 1st w/ other ingredients and then top with cheese and return to oven for 1-2 minutes.

    I weighed in this morning and the scale has not budged.:grumble: I have stayed within my calories and I have exercised every day.:grumble: I am NOT going to be discouraged. I know that I have been retaining water. I am just going to try to kick it up a notch and see results next week.

    Ok, life is getting back to normal now and I have been pulling my hair out the last month and a half, I would enjoy very much getting back into the swing of things. I am not down much more then I think my last weigh in...sorta been sitting between 232-234 for the last week and was between 234 and 236 FOREVER before that. I started working out hard again after a 2 week break and have been watching my intake.

    Will ya'll have me back...in my defense.....I am a non smoker over a month now....after 22 years of smoking.........:flowerforyou:
    Congrats on being smoke free.

    Friday got away from me. Weigh in was 197 and did 90 mins. on the treadmill. I am going to keep up the cardio this next week and try to alternate that with 30 day shred. I've been wanting to do that and I think I need to change my routine up a little bit.
    **waving flabby arm... maybe an arm toning challenge in the near future?***

    Have a super weekend everyone!

    Is it okay if I count 30 day shred as cardio also? If not, I will just count minutes on the elliptical and treadmill but man, if you don't have 30 day shred... you should get it!

    Ok, sorry I was not able to get my weigh in yesterday, I had my 2nd and 3rd hypnosis appointment yesterday for weight, we focused on motivation for working out. I am getting married on July 25th in Vegas, and I need to be down at least 30 pounds if not more to actually look half way decent in the sun dress I bought.....the hypnotist thinks I could be down 50 by then with his program......and as I talk about it now I feel like heading out for a workout.................

    I weigh 232 today

    Does anyone know how many calories burned walking on the beach? I can't find anything and I know you burn more walking in the sand. I went to the coast today and walked down the beach and I want my full calories burned , not the calories burned from a regular walk.:laugh:

    I would imagine you burn more walking in the snow because you sink and have to pull your leg out and you burn more calories in the cold.:laugh:

    Just wondering, if it's not too personal... how's the hypnosis going? How much does it cost? I have been interested in finding out more about hypnosis for a while now. Just wondering what you thought about it...
