I'm definitely in! CW: 145 GW: 138

is it too late to join

I want to lose five pounds by the end of April.

I had set it that low. But I never really stuck to it ... :( I just wanted to see if there wre any general group that anyone avoided completely at least initially to trigger additional weight loss.

Shubha: I think that is absolutely WONDERFUL news!! That's great! Sometimes the body changes in ways that a scale cannot measure. Bottom line: we really don't know what is going on with our bodies. We can feel different, we may even look different, and we definitely fit into our clothes differently than before. These are…

Happy Friday to all!! :flowerforyou: Today is usually my spin class at lunch and zumba in the evening day. But since I am still recovering from my root canal, I will only do zumba in the evening. I still have a mild headache, which is from the root canal I believe. I will try to make it through today without any Advil.…

Shubha, please don't give up. It is a hard journey at first but it does get easier along the way and then hard again .... and then easy again....... To make it to the end, we have to keep going. Keep your goal in mind! Set a do-able goal. Let's say it's a pair of jeans that is one size smaller than what you are now. Look…

Thanks! I am taking a break the next few days. I just had a root canal done yesterday. But otherwise, I work out usually 8-9 times weekly. I alternate between zumba, spin, P90x, TRX, & some free squat and weight exercises. I can't wait. But also, I am looking forward to the break and time off from the gym to catch up on…

Hi everyone ..... So nice to see that we have a regular group going!!! Feel free to add me ....

I'm in too!! Let's see how high I can go ...

Hi Prium!! Welcome!

Hi Satish, Tia, & Nina ...... WELCOME!!! How is everyone this week?

Hi Vik, Archana, & Vidya. Welcome to the group!! So Vidya, did the Jillian 30D come out of the closet? .... You know, I started watching Biggest loser this season. I didn't watch it last week. But, I will try to watch it the rerun on the web. I really like Jillian!! Is it the same one on the DVD? I have never watched…

Eight glasses of eight ounces per day on a normal day. Usually more if you are exercising...

Hi Ravi!! Where are you from?

Sonali, Where are you from? Great workout schedule planned!! Wish you the best of luck!! I agree ... losing so much weight in such a short of period is difficult. It can be stressful also. walk2120, Where are you from also? I was born in India, in Delhi. But moved to the US when I was young. I live in Jacksonville, FL

Hi Sonali & walk2120, WELCOME!!!

That's GREAT!! It's amazing what plain water can do for us!! It is a great detoxifier.

Have you ever tried drinking warm water? Just water warmed up. My mom drinks it all the time. You could get used to it by drinking half a cup at a time and it would warm you up also in the cold weather. Especially in the morning on an empty stomach, it can work wonders!!!

Hi Kali, Where are you from? Your meal plan looks really good. So what is a rough daily calorie total for the plan?

I'm in!!

Welcome Aditi! Where are you from?

Beeps - YAYYY on the 15 pound weight loss. And since September, that is is really great!! Have a fun date night with hubby. But don't fast!! Just eat light and drink lots of water. Thanks Ris for the advice. You know... some days are really good especially the ones that I don't spend with my husband. Those days I can…

I definitely agree! This is the place where I can come to get back on track, share thoughts, not feel too guilty about splurging on chocolate, beer or margaritas, or any kind of general overeating!! I think I had a horrible week last week. I went out Thursday night and had a couple of margaritas. BOOOOO! Then, I have been…

Ris - sorry about your news. My condolences. My goals for this week : 1. Work out. I did spinning yesterday. TRX and Zumba today. P90x and spinning hopefully tomorrow. Friday - Zumba and spinning. Saturday - Yoga, but it's pretty intense. Sunday - TRX again. 2. I have been eating crazy this week!! It seems as if I have no…

Those are some good ideas! I will definitely have to try some of them. I think my problem is that I don't plan my meals enough. I should take the time out to think and resarch the calories in what I will eat. I should prepare my meals more.

Good morning!! Happy Friday everyone!! Kids are still wheezing. But at least, the fevers are low low grade. I am hoping they go back to school next week. Even though it is their last week before their holidays. Finally made it to P90x yesterday. My back is so sore! Today, I am planning on spinning during my lunch hour and…

I wish I could find some high school pic of mine. And then I wish I could find a scanner! If these two are possible, then I definitely will post!! Thanks Chui for posting your pics!! Ya'll look awesome. And yes ... cheers to flat-chested women!! We definitely are at the winning end of the stick! No sagging! No aching…

Thanks everyone for welcoming me into the group! Welcome ShmoozyQ and Kuenzel also to the group. My goals for today and the rest of the week are as follows: 1. No cookies, candy, or sodas! No eating out! No drinking! 2. Get back into my workout routine. Hoping the kids get well soon; they still have low-grade fevers and…
