I have to agree. I have people telling me "Oh you're wasting away to nothing!" or "You better be careful or you'll get blown away by the wind." But they don't know for my height and age and activity level what my healthy weight is! I'm currently 7 pounds away from what is deemed my "ideal" weight. I intend to go a few…

Well it was a bad week, but my body has enjoyed the couple of days of rest. I did stay under my calories on the days I didn't exercise, so I'm hoping when I weigh in that I will have at least just stayed the same and not gained. That's all I ask :) Also will do a restart of week 7 of C25K starting tomorrow :D I have…

Well, I am taking an exercise break for the rest of the week. I need a few days to reboot my body. Hours at work have been bordering on the insane, and I allowed myself to put bad stuff in my body that hasn't been there for a long time. To compensate for the bad things I ate and drank, I did extra workouts and ended up…

Ok, didn't check in yesterday. Had a bit of a personal crisis. Work hours are getting overwhelming (I'm working 50-60 a week). When I'm home all I'm doing is either working out, cleaning, or making dinner. I overindulged this weekend and introduced toxins into my system that haven't been there for a long time. At work last…

Checking in. Like Azsuzi, I gave in to temptation today. I had a chocolate cake donut. It was good, but it tacked too many calories on for my taste. I'll think twice before doing it again!

I use the bellydance dvd's done by Neena and Veena. They are twin sisters who bellydance professionally. They are not high impact, but they will make you feel it in the midsection :)

Good morning Ravenclaws! Checking in! I am using the 30 Day Shred to work daily on my problem areas (it for sure covers arms AND abs; and some other areas lol). I am super sore but hoping it will be worth it!

Checking in. Had a very indulgent day yesterday, went way over on calories even with doing extra exercise to try and cover it. But it was a wedding and I knew it would happen. Not going to let it shake me though....I am still very committed to my diet and weight loss.

Just got done with day 3...even though my body is so sore I wanted to skip it. But I'm not a quitter! Maybe after a few days of immense soreness it gets better.

Ok so hopefully I can get this to post right. I went to a wedding exactly a year ago, and I went to one today. I made a wedding last year/wedding this year comparison pic that I wanted to post. I had had a few drinks in the more recent one (today) so just ignore that lol. :drinker:

This is quite possibly the best Breast Cancer saying I've seen!

Well I for sure won't earn my food OWL for today. I had a wedding to go to and I knew it was going to be a day of indulging. I tried to balance it out a little with extra exercise but still went over my calories. But I'm not going to beat myself up over it. It will take more than one day of alcohol (it was worth the…

Got my second day done as well. My legs feel like jello lol.

Ok ok, I'm weighing in! I am down exactly one pound since last week....from 140.3 to 139.3. Considering I am down to less than 10 pounds to lose total, I am satisfied with a pound :wink: This week's OWLs: Food:6 Exercise:7 (I always park in the back of the lot at work) Spirit:6 Total OWLs: 19 House Points: 238

I use some that I believe are a Best Buy brand called Rocketfish. I have very small ear canals and they are the only ones that work for me.

I work anywhere from 50-60 hours in a week. I make time for working out. If you want to do your midsection, try bellydance. It's fun and doesn't have to take long. Also, try to lower your carb intake and the carbs you do eat, try to eat before about 2 in the afternoon. It makes a difference.

Well I am down to only needing to lose 10 pounds until I reach my goal weight, and I know the last ten pounds can be the hardest. I'm thinking my weeks of 3-4 pound losses are pretty much over. I am however going to start the 30 Day Shred today so that I can start toning the areas I've lost.

Oh, I want in on this! I just got my 30 Day Shred in the mail today and intend to do my first workout tonight! I am down to only needing to lose about 10 pounds, but I figured this would be a great way to start firming up some of the places I've lost weight!

I do bellydance and I love it! I have a few dvd's I do at home, and I also use the moves I learn to just do some freestyle bellydance. I however am going to work my two tied problem areas (arms/abs) by starting the 30 Day Shred tonight. I will need it, for tomorrow I am wedding bound and see myself indulging in a small…

Both of these.....very amazing. I eat them both with unsweetened almond milk and a banana :wink:

I would think that popcorn balls could be done up healthy. There are probably tons of recipes that don't have to have a bunch of caramel or anything.

I think my trouble spot is also the lower belly, but it's a close tie with getting rid of my arm flags. So I will work on both a little each day to earn my exercise OWL lol.

Thanks for the advice! I will try it :) I do have very high arches, so arch support is key for me. Unfortunately I walk around almost constantly at work. But I just got a brand new pair of really good running shoes, and I will try the water bottle in the freezer thing. Thanks :flowerforyou:

I absolutely :heart: my new Saucony Kinvaras!

Julidav, sending good vibes your way in hopes everything goes ok for your mom! Well fellow Hubba Hubbers.....the first of the deadly eating holidays is upon us.....Halloween with all it's candy yumminess. Any tips for avoiding sugar cravings when your kiddos come thru the door packing tons of candy in their wake? (I'll…

Well, took my C25K training to the treadmill today....too wet and cold out to run in it. Have a sneaking suspicion that I maybe have plantar fasciitis. I've been getting immense pain in the back of my arch going into my heal. It's usually worse when I wake up, feels very tight and I have to limp a bit until it gets…

Ugh. Overtime at work is threatening to do me in. I am so far staying in my calorie range, but have found myself indulging in things I normally avoid (diet soda....sugarfree gum). We worked short handed last night which meant running my butt off all night and I felt like I needed the extra caffeine (hence the soda plus a…

Well, I parked at the very back of the parking lot last night. Too bad it was raining that really cold, drizzly rain when I got off this morning. I was soaked and chilly by the time I got to my van :ohwell:

Oh and also, grats to all of the losers this week!!! :drinker:
