I'm in the same boat with my husband working a swing shift. I LOVE working out during my lunch break (I usually run at a local park). Not only does it give me extra energy to push through the afternoon... It gets me out of the office so I can avoid all the crappy food brought in by my co-workers. :smile:

IN!

We have the same stats-I REALLY want to break the 130 mark. It's so tough. I started at 148 back in October, and am now between 133-135. Of course I'm happy with the results, but I really want to be in my 120's again. I like to run (although I'm not very good at it). I signed up for my first 1/2 marathon in about 2 months…

You and I have the same stats... I'm struggling to get to 130!!

Hey! My name is Christina. I'm 29 years old, and I have a 20 month old daughter. I've been struggling since she was born to get the weight off. However, it's nobody's fault but mine. I'm tired of making excuses for myself, and I need to learn how to handle set-backs, gains, and struggles. Like many of you, I sit at a desk…

Great work! Enjoy your spa day, you more than deserve it!

P.S. I "went potty" this morning before the weigh -in!! Every little bit counts! :wink:

Thanks for the support everyone! I really needed it! Going into it, I tried convincing myself that the number on the scale doesn't matter. What matters ishow I feel about my body, how my jeans fit, and how i feel in my swim suit this summer. :smile: BUT... it's still a bit dissapointing when the number goes up. I'm not…

Congratulations! And no, they don't fit because you've stretched them out... they fit because you've worked your butt off! Literally! What a wonderful feeling! :happy:

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the support!

i noticed that... When i researched, it said that you could potentially burn up to 1,000 cals a class. I only log 550. I'de rather shoot low than assume i'm blasting more than I am realistically. I enjoy running myself. I've ran a couple of 5k's but that's about it. I'll be getting out as the weather progressively gets…

See... that's my problem. I can't just have one. I end up thinking, "well one won't kill me". Then once I'm finished with that piece, "whats one more piece". Not to mention, I find that there is something each day that tempts me to step off track. One day its my husband asking me to go out to dinner... or a friend asking…

Count me in too! Sounds like a great plan. Good luck everyone!

Sunday night, Monday night, Tuesday night... Yeah! Three nights in a row. Last night i planned on going to bed around ten. I couldn't get my head out of my book, and by the time i knew it, it was 2:00am. I was pretty hungry. I forced myself to go to sleep and looked forward to a nice breakfast! I plan to make tonight #4.…

I've made it through two days so far! Last night I forced myself to hit the sack at ten (when I started to get a bit hungry). When I woke up this morning I found the remains of a bag of chips and dip, as well as an empty pizza box. My husband and his friends must have really had a good time after I went to bed. I am soo…

I'm so proud of all of you! This is a pretty tough challenge. I've tried it before. I went weeks without eating past 6:00... and it most definately paid off. My husband doesn't get home until 6:45 most nights, so I am cutting off at 7:30. It's been 3 days for me so far. Last night a friend came over and ordered a late…

Great idea! I was just thinking about this earlier today. My cut off time will be 7:00. I did this once before and was pretty sucessful. Thanks for the challenge

God bless you, your father, and all of your family. You are in my prayers.

Watch calories Work out at least 5x this week Be brave and take a jog outside-even though it's freezing! Keep a positive attitude!

Congrats on getting out there! I don't like running either. I finished a 5K last year. I hated training for it, but once I crossed the finish line... I felt AMAZING! Keep it up, it will soon pay off!

I've never used the shot, but a couple of my girlfriends have. They both giained between 10-20 pounds. Granted, they aren't into exercize and probably don't keep a close eye on what they eat.

My birthday is this month. My husband has been bugging me about what I want. FINALLY a great gift that I really need! I take a kickboxing class. The calculator estimates I burn about 500 cals, and my instructor says we burn 800. I can't wait to see what I'm actually burning!

Does anyone have any tips on getting motivated to work out in the morning? I don't have to go to work until 9, so i have plenty of time to get a good thirty minutes in (at least). Thing of it is, I am NOT a morning person at all! If i know I can sleep until eight... I will. I would love to make a habbit out of working out…

i agree with you. My trainer has instructed me to do the same, and I think it's working out well.

veggie soup with grilled cheese! My favorite!

i yelled at a football player cuz that's how I roll.

I'm so glad i'm not the only one that feels like i'm ALWAYS starting over! Back to kickboxing and eating right!

Hello! I'm new here myself. Well, I started using this site about two weeks ago. I LOVE IT! If it helps... research shows that those who journalize their calorie intake and exercize are far more likely to reach their fitness/nutritional goals! Good luck!

Hello! I started logging into this FABULOUS website just last week. I fell in love with it. I'm 24, and wouldn't consider myself completely out of shape. However, i just got married 4 months ago, and i feel like i'm already starting to let myself go. I grew up as the "fat kid" and lost most of the extra weight a couple of…
