I walked 4.75 hours today...started at 10am. I did stop about 4 times for a short break ((my shins were starting to hurt)) and to catch my breath...but other than that I was a walking nut! :laugh: I walked a total of 11.54 miles, and burned 1,078 calories today from that walk. I also work my 12 hour shift tonight...and I'm going in with no nap. :ohwell: But I can't help that...I had to cook dinner for the kids and now I have to run my daughter to my mothers. That happens like that sometimes...I will sleep real good for sure when I get off from work.

Holy moley that is quite the walk. I applaud you for being able to just keep going and going. I think I would eventually get bored and head home, unless I had something really pretty to look at it.

LOL! I had my Ipod on and it is LOADED with all of my Christian music that I love so much. I do a LOT of meditation/praying when I walk, and it really helps me clear my mind. Actually...to be honest I had NO idea I was walking so much, I was just preoccupied with meditating and "talking to God" that I kinda lost track of time at one point. The kids wanted to play on the playground and the park has a trail that is 1 mile around each time...so...the kids kept telling me they wanted to play each time I came around to that point in the park so I just kept going. lol.

Walking is so very peaceful for me. And the park I go to is very pretty! It has like an "enchanted" forest part that you go through and it is sooooo pretty! It has benches you can sit at and relax too. It's all covered in camera's also..so I feel safe.

I think that is the most important thing....to keep going even when you just don't feel like it. Results are proof. Thanks!

I'm getting really tired of seeing 166 on the scale. =/ I am very happy its 166 and not 172 which was the last weight i was stuck at for months and months and months before I gave up and just ate whatever I wanted. I have stopped working out and wont be starting again until May 15th (I have a million and one things to do and its just kinda all getting to me now) and after that I will be doing the Turbo Fire program the whole way thru, I'm so looking forward to it!!!

I have been very frustrated because the scale has barely moved, I am not giving up.!!! But darn I wanted to see the 160s!
I did get weighed and measured at the gym, and my LBM has increased, and my fat has decreased by over 5 lbs. So sometimes it isn't all about the scale!
I am trying the Olivia method, and will keep trying it for another week or two.

Congrats to those who lost!
Good job to those who are sticking it out!
And thanks to all those who have been so supportive!
You people are awesome!

This was a sad weigh in, the scale was flickering between 184 and 185 but settled on 185 (how I wish I had more accurate scales). I was so good this week until Friday night when the bf and I went out for drinks with a few friends, it just shows how much alcohol can affect you. I spent all of Saturday drinking water and now I feel like a bloated cow. Instead of feeling sad and discouraged I'm going to look at my comparison photos from 40lbs ago (I did a collage to help me think positively for this weeks challenge) and be encouraged by how far I've come Good luck guys!

I'm seeing some great losses this week and wow @Crysbutcher3 that is one great walk, I bet you feel amazing for it
@Tatyanne I upped my calories from 1200 to 1800 and I dropped 3lbs, maybe try eating more again, you're probably holding onto water weight which the body can sometimes do at first. I also gain during TOM I just weigh a few days before to avoid the scales in that time

A little bummed that I did not make the 180s this week. Not sure what happened. I did just start doing Zumba on a regular basis and have been sore just about every day... so maybe it's water weight? Hopefully it's coming of next week because I'm tired of the 190s! :noway:

I weight is coming off much slower than I would've liked but at least it's going in the right direction with the Olivia method. I adjusted my mini goals but left my challenge goal the same. Hopefully I can still get there. Good luck all. Happy weigh ins.
