~May~ The Biggest Loser DVD/ Health Attack ( Newbies always

Last chance workouts before tomorrow's weigh in!!!

I'm thinking.... Tae BO!! What about you guys??

Hey Gorgeous Gals!

Thanks for all the low carb tips. I'll be sure to watch out and listen to my body. I'm just sooooo annoyed my weight hasn't budged in MONTHS. I mean yeah one or two pound down, then one or two pounds up. I know I'm not doing something right even if I log all my calories and work out like mad. Oh well.

So I shall experimento.

I'm in the midst of my LAST CHANCE WORKOUT. I dragged my girlfriend to the gym so I could burn some extra calories on the treadmill. And now I'm going to do my P90X Day 11 - Yoga X!!! Yoga really kicks my butt but I'm slog through it. Yuck.

Thanks for being my diet buddies girls!!!

Love,
Mina

Well I went to the dr. and he said there is nothing wrong with me. So I am going to get a second opinion. I told I was in pain when he was messing with my knee and he said it is ok. I will just stick to my walking. Hopefully I can lose weight with only walking.

Tabby - Walking is a great place to start! Any movement is great place to start. It will clear your head! Just keep moving. And let us know how your doing. Take care!

Hey ladies!

I did not lose this week but hey I did not gain either!! I am kind of in a low right now. Being here at my parents is HARD. They do not eat the greatest (snacks all over the house) and the things we do not eat at home that I LOVE. I have been snacking like CRAZY!!! HELP me please! How do I stop?! We are here until June 1st about and I can't keep doing this. Maybe I can do what I do when at home as soon as my husband is here tomorrow. Usually I will exercise when I get that urge to snack and then I am not hungry after so I have a 50 to 80 calorie snack and then I am good but being her alone it is hard to do that as my parents are not always around or willing to watch the kids while I work out.

This next week I am going to make things different and I can't wait for friday

Great job to all you ladies for working hard this week! Seems like a few of us had a tough time and there is always this week to kick some butt! To all the ladies that lost weight this week keep up the great work and CONGRATS!

Hope you are all well! Oh and after being unemployed since christmas my husband got the job we have been praying for since then.....we found out two days ago he got the IRS agent job!!!!!

Well today I start my walking diet( as i call it). I miss exercising for the way I was at the beginning. I didn't think I would ever say that. But I do. Thank you to everyone that gave me advice and/or support I really appreciate it. I did end up losing 1.2 lbs. Hopefully I can lose more this week.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and week. Let's try not to eat alot. I say that and I have 3 cookouts to go to this weekend. Good Luck!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Hey AMANDA! Walk away from the snacks! Just say no! Haha. I think you're on the right track. Try to distract yourself. In this book I'm reading it suggests that when you get an URGE try doing five different things to keep yourself busy and your mind off the snacking: exercise, chores, visit this forum, etc... And usually before you hit the fifth activity, your craving would have disappeared. It seems to work with me.

And I also pre-empt my hunger. I eat on a schedule: 6AM brekkie, 9AM snack, 12NN lunch, 4PM snack, 7PM dinner. I find haven't really been having cravings lately since I've stayed away from sugar. Like when I stopped eating my McDonald's Hot Fudge Sundaes... I stopped wanting more. Kind of Chicken-and-egg situation I guess...

Good luck!

Keep up your spirits girls. It's a new week! We're going to do AWESOME!

i am stil alive I promise not too much time to write. It looks like we are going to move soon will share later about that.....only problem is that we won't be able to have the net for a while.....:sad: talklater LOVESSs jenny

Well this weekend was not good for me. I ate way too much at the cookouts that I went to. I'll just have to get back on track tomorrow. How was everyone's long weekend?

I am so happy that weekend is over. I ate way too much and the scale shows it. I gained 1.8 lbs. I am back on track today. I already logged my meals for the day. Now when I get home I can exercise.

Hi girls!

I just posted the challenge in the google doc:

20 jump squats
20 plank jacks
20 walking lunges
1 min plank

I'm sure y'all can do it! I hope everyone had a great weekend is having a better week. Last chance workout tom for me! I'm going to be doing an hour and a half of yoga and hopefully 30 min to an hour of cardio/circuit training of some form. Haha. I may even run up and down the stairs at work during my lunchtime. I'm really really dying to hit 175! Wish me luck!

(But I really need to up my calories. I think it's just bad planning. I've been having salads mostly and omelets for breakfast. I think I need to invest in some low carb protein shakes to make it easier. Or protein bars. Any other suggestions?)

Hi everone, :flowerforyou:

I just got in from pushing a lawn mower for an hr. :sick: and expected to set and relax the rest of the evening until I got on here to log in and relized I have a challange to still do. thanks mina!!!!!!!!
So i made myself do it.....Really I do enjoy the challanges.......I really need them this week.....But I'm not sure if I want to weight in on friday.... TOM is here and I'm sure feeling fat and I noticed the scale is up this morning too.......So we'll see after tomorrow......I think I'll go over to the school and run on the track....they just finished putting in a new one......See if I can do that mile again?????
Mina you need to keep your calorie intake above 1200/day... I carry protein or granola bars with me for snacks... I also keep lots of nuts (peanuts & almonds etc.) around along with yogart in the fridge...witch arn't too bad on carbs. but I don't worry much about them I useally stay just below my aloted amount.

Welcome back guntherma nice to meet you,,,, staying motivated use to be my biggest problem with weight loss but this great group of ladies has really helped me out in that area.... Knowing that I have to be accountable to someone has work on keeping me going.

Well I gained 2 lbs this week.:sad: I couldn't do anything because of my knees. Next week will be different. I am going to exercise through the pain. How was everyone's weight this week? I hope it is better than mine.

Way to go Mina on the 4 lbs weight loss. Keep up the hard work!!!!!!!
