    Hi there
    wow I'm tired so short and sweet from me. Finally had a little movement on the scale so I'm a happy bunny again.

    Under cals again today, workout done this morning, C25k W6D2 only half done as just so tired will repeat that session in a couple of days.

    Squats were done yesterday and will do tri-dips tomorrow. Well done Hawkeye on being so close to your goal.

    Hello Everyone! I'm a week ahead schedule with my goal for February ....I hit 30 pounds this morning! Come on 40!
    My husband hit 16 and we both are starting to see it. You'd think at 30 pounds you'd be like WOW but I only see it in places. I think my belly is what makes it seem like I haven't lost as much as I have post baby #3 but its slowly getting there. Of course having a little over 100 pounds to lose I guess the next 20 pounds I will really see it. That is when I will post a new picture!

    Also, a quick thank you to all of you for the well wishes I'm finally able to breath. Now just a little cheat cough bit nothing like it was! Thanks again!

    My goals....are all great and only time and commitment will make the difference going forward!

    Did my dips! Such a great exercise!!!!

    Where is Deebear? :sad:

    Morning Gang!

    One day closer to the weekend.....this week is just dragging in my opinion. Work has me pissed and stressed-so tired of all of the hoops that we have to jump through. Isn't it stressful enough that I am dealing with people with chronic mental illness and then you have to throw in so many paperwork expectations that I can't keep up without working free hours :angry:

    Outside of work, I bombed on my calories yesterday. Got bored last night and grabbed a box of cereal. So have to try and do better today. I have been on the road so much that the gas station has been my lunch time stop which probably doesn't help.

    I did another day of C25K last night. I ran to my office as I had forgot my touch and need that for the intervals and then did the training run after that so I got in about 35 miles of run/walk last night. Needless to say, my legs are a bit sore after spin class this morning.

    I got 60 dips in between my 2 challenges last night. Need to step it up on the other challenges--stairs again!

    For Friday, how about some mountain climbers?

    Have a great day everyone!

    congratulations penny on hitting your 30lb goal, that is awesome. Missed my morning workout today as I had to start work early, just so busy at the mo hope it starts to slow down soon, it gets me stressed when its like this.

    Finished under cals and c25k done. Will do crunches soon. Not sure about mountain climbers tomorrow, may substitute for something else as I can't do them.

    Hope this posts ok, got a gorgeous new windows phone and still learning how to use it

    Sorry I've missed a few days checking in with you guys. Well that's the weekend over with, back to work in the morning - boo hoo.

    Goals today
    Finished under on cals with a nice large deficit
    Worked out like crazy today, my motivation being that I had no weight loss to report this week
    C25k, just finished week 6, wow that was tough.

    Mini challenge of 2 miles, that's a good one Penny, think I will walk part way home after work, that will be about 2.5 miles. Wonder what everyone else will do...

    Can't believe its almost march, doesn't time fly when you're having fun!

    Hi gals:

    I am really struggling and feel like I am just tanking lately (actually most of this month). I keep trying to out exercise my bad diet and it is not working. I would hate to see where I would be at were it not for all of my obsessive exercising. I was actually going to take a break today but ate such crap that I felt guilty and went and did a day of c25k. Feel like all I do is complain on here....sorry about that!

    I know several of you are doing the C25K training....curious do you stick to a certain time or distance. I went a full 5 k today and it took me 40 minutes. Not sure if I should be sticking to the guides 20 minutes or covering the full distance.

    Our group seems to be MIA so I hope that everyone is doing well and sticking to their goals. Seeing everyone making it works, makes me want to keep trying! Thanks!!

    Good evening ladies! I feel the same Hawkeye we need to vamp up this group. None of the newbies stayed ;0(.

    This is a challenge and its called never going to give up! So lets NOT GIVE UP and challenge ourselves all the more!

    Life brings obstacles but we need to learn how to overcome them and make good choices no matter what is going on.

    THAT BEING SAID WE ARE GOING TO TACKLE MARCH!

    WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?

    1. 100 MILES ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM IN THE MONTH!
    2. A MONTH WORTH OF STAYING WITHIN OUR CALORIES
    3. MINI CHALLENGES M/W/F
    4. CHECK IN EVERYDAY GOOD OR BAD TO MAKE US ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR CHOICES

    WHO IS IN?

    TAKE NOTE OF HOW MUCH YOU WEIGHT TOMORROW, SO WE CAN WEIGH IN AT THE END OUR MONTH AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE. MEASUREMENTS ARE WONDERFUL FOR THOSE OF YOU CLOSER TO YOUR GOALS!

    Hi there,
    I'm not new to this site but am definitely new to this group. I've seen a lot of posting from the members who are being so supportive of each other and I wish to join in. Can I? I have been in this site trying to loose weight and I managed to in the first few months. However, I have been lacking on the weight lost due to the long holidays and celebrations which got me to add on 2 kg. I would love to loose to my target level and really need the support.

    Hello of course you can join carenechan welcome :flowerforyou:

    I love the revamp I think its a great idea penny. our new ones see that we are all so encouraging of each other, but then they just dont come back, revamping might help I rally dont want our group to dispearse so lets work extra hard this month girls .

    Im in !!!!!!! I have been eating good so I am very happy about that I need more excersize I dont like counting my cleaning jobs as my workout so trying to get 100 miles is an awesome idea.

    WI tommorow see you then :bigsmile:
