I know how you feel about falling off the wagon and finding it hard not to eat whatever you want to eat. I have done that several times. But you just have to pick yourself up and keep going. Maybe if you change your workout routine that will help to keep you motivated. I can get bored very easily by doing the same kind of…

Welcome and best wishes in your journey. I too need to lose about 20 lbs to get back to where I would like to be. This site gives you alot of support. You will enjoy it here!

Scarlet, I agree about it taking some time to just get into it. I hate that part as well. But I may try again this week to see if I can get back into it. I liked it the few times I did it. Thanks for your comments! I appreciate them!

LOL. That is too funny, because I am a white girl who has NO rhythm what so ever but my friends tell me it is fun none the less. I have been thinking about going but I hate to pay for the classes when I have already paid for the Kinect version. So I might try to get back into the Kinect game, along with my runs 3 times a…

No loss this week. I will keep trying though!!

I am down to 134.0! Finally a loss! Yay!

I want in. I did not do well last challenge but plan to on this one. I weighed in yesterday at 136.2 so my goal for this challenge is 131 Thank you!

Still at same weight, so no loss this week. Ready for the next challenge so maybe I can get back on track!

Ok I finally weighed in and am up! So here it is....135.2 I am going to get back at it hard this week to see if I can bring it back down but I guess I am sucking at this challenge! Maybe the next one will be better. :) I sure hope so anyway!

I am sucking at this challenge as well! Gonna try to make myself get back in gear this week with exercise. I have the eating part right, but no luck on weight loss. Maybe next week!

I have Zumba for the XBox Kinect and it is alot of fun! The game was like $49 I believe. It has all different levels you can work out at and keeps up with the amount of energy you are putting into it by advancing you to the next level if you fill the energy bar. I like it alot! Just need to do it more often!

I was just wondering the same thing! I am set at 1200 as well, and know many ppl set at the same and we all are at different weights. I need to lose 20lbs so I wonder if it is all set to what you want to lose not what you weigh. But I am not seeing alot of results from just my calorie intake.

Thank you for your support. I like the little wheat sandwich rounds that are 100 cal. I think I am just getting bored because I always seem to be eating the same things. I am glad Summer is almost here so there will be alot more fruits and veggies to choose from! I have noticed that ALOT of people on here are set at 1200…

Actually I do not sleep that well at night. I toss and turn alot. That might be part of my problem. The little bit of time I spend at home, I find myself cleaning house, laundry, helping with home work or just wanting to sit down! Maybe I need a check up with the dr. I hadn't thought about that. Thanks for the suggestion!

I actually have the 30 day shred and for a while was doing it religiously. I even got to level 2 but now I seem to not have time. Maybe I can get back into it this coming weekend. I also bought Zumba for the Kinect and it is alot of fun, but again that is at least 20 mins when I am worn out. I sometimes can make myself get…

Thank you! I hate counting calories to be honest, but it does let me know what I am really taking in.

I put this post out there not to be criticized but to hopefully find some compassion and advice. I have 2 active children who are in sports and have a mixed up work schedule so I have a very busy life. I am working to try to add more activity to my daily schedule, it is hard though. I did not think I would have someone…

My food diary is open to all my friends. I log most of what I eat but lately haven't been because I know I have been doing really bad at it. But I did log today. So check it out and see what you think, but you have to be a friend first. Thanks

I haven't lost anything since Feb either! I am stuck. I am not sure which way I need to go. Low carb, no carb? I feel like I am eating like a rabbit and nothing is happening. After 1.5 yrs of this and only loosing 11 lbs I am getting very frustrated. I am not a person who enjoys exercise, though I wish I was. I love love…

I hear ya on this one! I will be doing alot more Zumba and Dance Central this week! Might even get in a walk or 2 in the park since the weather will be so nice outside!

Ok so no loss this week. I am just checking in but am not going to post until I see a loss. Hope this is ok. Guess I gotta get ALOT more exercise in this week!!!

I just got it for Kinect as well, and it is fun! I have only just started it but it does work me out pretty hard. I sweat and constantly move! Have friends coming over this weekend to try it out also!

I did not log in my weight this week because it is my TOM so I do not want to log it when it is not my actual weight. I will weigh in again Monday morning and log in then. Gonna get the girls together for some Zumba on Kinect this weekend! Gonna be fun!

Margie I would like to join this challenge as well. Starting weight is 132.6 Goal for this challenge is 125.0 lbs. I will post in on Mondays. thanks!

Sorry I must have missed the post on April Fools Day challenge. I think that is a great idea. Do we need to sign up and put our weight in here for that one or when will it get started? I am eager to see if I can keep my momentum going. I doubt it but I am gonna try. :) thanks for all you do Margie!

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching. Have we thought of another challenge to go forward with once this one is over? Maybe an Easter Challenge? I am just ready for Spring to get here so I can get back out in the open air and walk/jog so I can get more exercise in a more fun environment. I get bored working out at home…

133.6! Today!

Weighed in today at 135.0, down .6 lbs. That is almost 9 lbs gone since we started our journey! Yay! I have fallen behind on the pushup/crunch challenge, and the water challenge as well. I will get back to it this coming week for sure. With moving and all the bad weather I have done good to get out of the house in tact!…

Weighed in at 135.6! Another pound loss! Yay! That makes 8 lbs since I started. On a roll. Gotta get more exercise in though. Need to get on that Kinect with the kids and keep dancing. That is a great aerobic workout. My heart rate stays up the entire time!

Weighed in today at 136.6! Yay! The weight I listed yesterday was when I weighed in last weekend, just haven't been able to log onto here and report while I was moving. No internet for a few days! just wanted to report in. Thanks!
