borac, hope you are feeling much better soon! I actually made it to the gym Firday and Saturday. It was a short workout Friday (40) minutes. I haven't done that in a long time but I am determined to show a weight loss this Wednesday!! Go Blue Team!! Be healthy. :heart:

Hello Blue team. I am sorry I have been MIA. :glasses: I had the flu for most of last week and no excuses for this week other than I have been in a funk. :frown: Well, I am happy to say I got my butt to the gym yesterday and it felt good! I spent an hour on the eliptical, did a little weights and finished with 30 minutes…

:flowerforyou: j_g I really hope that you are doing better soon. j_g's husband, thank you for being so considerate and updating us. Please let her know we are all sending her lots of positive energy and support! Nice job this week blue team. I really appreciate everyone who checks in and keeps us all motivated. (especially…

Hey team!! I am down one pound this week. :drinker: Let's go blue!!!! We have a snow day so I will either get some work done around the house or watch all the shows I recorded this week (and last) because I never seem to be able to watch anything when it is on. Right now I am hapy with catching up on MFP.

:flowerforyou: Congrats Rach!! About the overweight teen thing: The reason I have invited my 13 year old son to join me at the gym is because he is becoming overweight (more and more). I try really hard to walk the fine line of not making him overly worried about it and keeping him healthy. I feel bad because I know he is…

My boys are 13 and 17. So I guess I can stop blaming them for the pregnancy fat.:laugh: JK My 13 year old actually goes with me sometimes to the gym. My lucky 17 year old never had an ounce of fat on him. (guess he didn't take after mom!):tongue:

You are probably building muscle, so you won't see a weight loss right away, but as you said the clothes are getting loser. You must be toning up!! Way to go! Hang in there, the weight will start to go next.:flowerforyou:

I hear ya! What is worse, is that my son will do the homework (I can see him do it) and then he forgets to turn it in or can't find it when he gets to school, or he leaves it at home!!! argggg:noway:

:laugh: Yeah, I had to kick it to make it move.

You go Emma!!!!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Isn't it great when someone else notices?

At last!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: The scale has moved down. I'm down two pounds. Let's go blue team:flowerforyou:

:tongue: well I guess I don't know how to insert the emoticons. Other than the ones you get when you sign up. :angry:

Rach, I thought we were supposed to weigh in today. I did well on both food and excercise today, so I will wait…

I wasn't able to get to the gym yesterday. Settled for a little walk with my dog. I love the encouragement, so I will get there today. (as soon as I get the family settled and fed) :wink:

I appreciate this challenge. I made it to the gym 3 days in a row! :wink: My goodness, it has been so busy there lately. I guess it is good to see so many other motivated people!!:happy: Anyway I did a full 60 minutes of cardio. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: But, I confess I blew it at dinner, I kind of over justified the…

wow missyjane, That will keep you on track - weighing in two times a week,:wink: good for you :flowerforyou:

Rach, just sent you my weight. down 1 pound! :glasses: Let's go blue!!!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Still doing our fitness challenge :happy: :happy: Got to the Y again today and did 40 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes on the weight machines. I would like to learn how to do more exercises. I am just now feeling a little more comfortable a the Y and may ask for help. It may sound silly but all those people who look like…

I was happy with myself today too. I think the weigh in has me motivated! :happy: I went to the gym and did the cardio and the weight machines. I need to learn how to do the free weight stuff. I did two bottles of water and will try for more tomorrow. :ohwell:

:smile: :smile: Ok fitness buddies. I made it to the gym today. I managed to get in 30 minutes on the eliptical before they called me to get weighed in etc for a challenge they are doing at my YMCA. Anyone else go to a Y? I joined last year and have liked it a lot so far. Although today it was crazy with all the poeple who…

:drinker: I am working on the water, it's hard but I will try. I did put a half hour on the eliptical which was better than during the holidays! :wink:

I'm ready:drinker: :drinker: Go Blue!!:huh:

This is a great idea. I am on board too. Joined your Yahoo group too. Whatever it takes!!:laugh: :ohwell:

I joined a gym after the New Year last year and lost 20 pounds. :drinker: :drinker: Lately, I have slaked off with the excercise. :cry: I make more and more excuses not to go So my goal is to get to the gym at least three days a week and lose another twenty pounds. I would love to drop another clothing size. I gave away…

wow Fitness Chick! You are doing such a wonderful job with your weight loss. :flowerforyou: You are certainly an inspration to others.:drinker:

Thank you for the advise. I have been reading the messages and probably the best thing about the site is the really friendly messages. I like the idea of putting the food in before you eat it. It already made me change the quantity of what I was planning for lunch. I think my biggest downfall is not thinking about the…

I just got done talking to my sister and she told me about this site. We have both been encouraging each other to excersise and lose weight. I am glad I read through some of the messages. I was going to start "after the holidays" :tongue: but I can see there are plenty of brave people who are starting right away. It…
