BRAND NEW TEAM RECRUITING... YELLOW TEAM!!

I started the 30 day shred.. I am feeling it this morning.. not sore but I am hyper aware of all the muscles I haven't felt in a year!! and my abs! i feel my abs!

where is everyone??

Kristen - I'm here, just haven't been posting since people have been so quiet on this group. Don't want to dominate the conversation!! Lol

Anyone know what's up with hurleycutie142 - the person who started this team?? Don't think I've seen her post on here in awhile...

laughingfox - congrats on your loss of both pounds and inches!! I haven't been measuring inches yet - waiting for my measuring tape to arrive that I ordered over the internet.

I'm doing okay - was reeeeeeeeealy craving some late-night snacks while working on homework late last night. I was already at my calorie limit for the day but I went ahead and had a 1/2 cup of no-sugar-added applesauce (only 50 cal.). It took the edge off and kept me from making a huge mistake.

We have SNOW here this morning! It was here about a week and a half ago, then last weekend was in the 70s... and now it's 30s again. Fall in Colorado for ya... I'm glad I went for a good walk outside last weekend - never really know when the 'last' nice weekend is going to be for the season until after it's gone.

Hope you're all having a good week. :flowerforyou:

Hi Dawn! Welcome! The groups been a little quite as of late but there's usually a few people on every day who will post if you have a question or need advice or motivation or anything. I weigh in on Mondays - people seem to have their own schedules. Feel free to post anytime for any reason (whether you're asking something, celebrating something or anything else you can think of!)

Congrats on joining and making a great start - 6 pounds is awesome.

I just finished day 4 of the 30 Day Shred! I am doing so much better!! It is an amazing and awesome workout!! woo hoo!! going to dallas this weekend.. probably wont get online but ill be back sunday night!

Hello yellow team! Good news and bad news for me.

Good news first: I lost 2 pounds last week. I've been sticking to my workout plan, and I also discovered that the exercise list includes calorie counts for throwing darts! Who knew? I compete in a league every Sunday, which is my day off from working out, so I get some calorie credit on my day off! I'm psyched! Probably would count more if I didn't drink beer while doing it, huh? :drinker: I also discovered calorie counts for gardening and hitting golf balls at the driving range.

Bad news: I think I broke my toe! I stubbed it on an 8-pound dumbbell and it's all swollen and purple and hurts when I put any weight on it. But I can bend it, so it's probably not really broken right? I'm supposed to walk today, but between the hurt toe and the heavy rain, I'm not feeling it .. maybe take today off instead of tomorrow.

So I have a nutrition challenge for everyone: let's eat all 5 of our fruit and vegetable servings every single day this week.

Everyone have a good week and stay safe out there -- meaning don't leave your dumbbells in the middle of the floor!!

hey everyone...
i know i havent been around in awhile but i have been in the hospital...
i had a severe case of acid reflex which was eating my insides...
so i was in there recovering...
...
but im back starting monday im starting my whole new life...

hurleycutie - So sorry to hear you've been in the hospital, but I'm glad you haven't let it get you down. Welcome back!

Hurley- WOW!!! Glad you are feeling better!
Karebear- Sorry you are sick! Seems like everyone is, right now.
Dartboard- I broke my toe this past summer and had to have a pin put in it. I was non-weight bearing for 6 weeks. It was absolutely awful! My baby was just 4 months then and taking care of her was very challenging! I kicked the couch accidentally! I really hope yours isn't broken and you heal quickly.

I have been doing reasonably well this week. I have bumped up my workout routine a little and I am really feeling the burn. I think we have too many challenges going on this week. Can we just do one of them, please??? Tomorrow is weigh-in day (WID) for me. I'm a little scared. There was pizza and brownies this week. GRRR...

I have .8 lbs to lose then I will be under 200 lbs!! Woo Hoo!! I am soooo flippin excited!

Ok.. my check in is Thurs but I'll check in now..

I'm at 200.8 and I will measure tomorrow

since starting the 30 Day Shred (I just finished day 6) I have lost 1.4 lbs!!

got back from Japan last night.
after 2 and a half weeks of not thinking about exercising or eating healthily, I was a bit worried that I might have gained some weight/inches.
BUT...
well, I didn't lose any weight, I am the same, 150lbs holding steady.
I lost a bit from my stomach and waist and thighs, not much, maybe only an inch total, but it's progress!

I guess it helps that in Japan, portion sizes aren't as mammoth as in the US, and I spent 8 days working on a research ship getting about zero rest/sleep time.

Taking today off to get over jetlag and get myself settled back home, then back to the gm tomorrow!

Hope you guys are all doing well!

ok, well this might be cheating, but...
i actually did lose a pound in Japan!

weighed myself this morning and I'm down to 148lbs.
that's the lowest I've been since this time last year. 11lbs to go til i reach my goal weight.

definitely feel some extra motivation to hit the gym this afternoon.

:happy:

I know I have been MIA but I haven't done very well eating this week. When I weighed in on Monday I was down 2 lbs. YAY! It will be TOM any time now and I have been having cravings and munchies all week. UGH!!! Stupid hormones! Today I did great calorie-wise and I have still been working out all week.

Kristen- Is the 30 Day Shred really hard? Are you real sore?
