I was pre-hypertensive after graduating college and the doctor told me to lose weight and exercise. I got engaged and had the motivation to lose weight for my wedding. I lost 45 lbs or so and didn't have any troubles with BP even though I went up and down in weight a couple times over the next few years. Then I got…

I am from MN and definitely feel your frustration! This summer I had been able to get out a lot for walks after work and really enjoyed it. I have a 18 month old son that I take with me but now that it is so cold I don't really want to take him out (he started freezing when it was 65-70 out, I can't imagine him staying…

I got in my workout this morning yay! Baby slept the whole time until I was in the shower! It was a sweat dripping down my face kind of workout again, I notice it most when I'm doing some of the lifting reps, they really keep your heart rate up! 2 weeks left of my 9 week program after Thursday! I will be going to a…

LisaM... The exciting Fitness stuff will only work with the NEW Xbox One that will come out on November 22nd. But it may be a good investment anyway!

Rest day here but the scale moved this morning! TOM totally throws me off for at least a week. I will probably end up going to the park with the little man again tonight. He LOVES to be outside and it keeps me moving at least rather than sitting at the computer or on the couch. He has a new found love for climbing around…

Since it is meatloaf you could separate the meatloaf into muffin tins and you have perfect portions as leftovers also! We used 1 1/2 lb turkey last time and that made 12 flat topped "muffins" It also cooks a little quicker!

This morning didn't go as I'd hoped but I got my workout in and was only 10 minutes late to work. Xander did not go back to sleep after I got him up at 5:30 :( and I had no idea on the time but my husband finally came and took him at 6:15 (we had agreed on 6:00) So I didn't get started until 6:30 but I really wanted to get…

Rest day today... Good thing with ECFE class after work from 4:30-6pm. I'm not sure if we will go today though because Xander was coughing a lot this morning like he has a cold or virus and we don't want to pass the germs. We might get a walk in if we don't go to class. Trying to get to bed early tonight so I can get up…

Just finished my EA Sports Active II workout on the Xbox. Sweat pouring down my face tonight! I increased my weights to make it more of a challenge and I could definitely tell! They don't do more than 1-2 sets of something so I figured I can try to lift heavy for the few reps they do. Sometimes it's just 1 set of 10 reps…

I have the older Polar F6 coral colored heart rate monitor... I had to replace the battery in the watch this year but I've had it a long time!

I started my exercise program before this challenge started but I was impressed with myself Sunday night that I've stuck with it this long... I'm in the middle of week 6 and then have 3 more weeks to go. I workout tonight and it has been fairly easy.. not the workouts themselves but actually keeping to the schedule. I've…

Did my EA Sports Active II workout last night. I was so tired and didn't want to do it but I DID. yay for me. my tom is coming and it is reflecting on the scale :( I really didn't gain 2lbs in 1 day. I may have eaten over my calories but not 7000 calories over ;) Hopefully I can get through without going too crazy as…

Today is a rest day woot! Monday we got a walk in, hubby had the day off of work so we went as a family, and last night I was sweating so bad during my EA Sports Active 2 workout on the Xbox. I hate the split jump squat repeats and they had them in the workout 3 times ugh. I can't even do them jumping but even doing them…

I am envious! My husband supports me to a point. He doesn't have much weight to lose but he could definitely lose some body fat (the beer belly that he got without ever drinking) and show some muscle definition again! Hubby would rather play video games or watch football than workout with me :(

I am doing the Xbox 360 EA Sports Active 2 - 9 week program(today will be my 8th workout). It's 4 days a week and my workout days are T, TH, Sat & Sun. During the week I am trying to get out walking or biking with my son but it has been WAY TOO HOT this week for us to get out. His little body can't handle the heat. Looking…

I have had the Kinect EA Sports Active 2 for awhile and just started up again about a week and a half ago. The workouts kick my butt... it's a lot of variations squats! They do upper body lifts as well but it is really great for lower body endurance. Anyway I missed a workout so I did two in a row on Sunday and my HRM said…

Wow... seriously! You have done some great work! Nice job on losing it slowly. You can definitely see major progress and I hope that inspires you to keep going as much as it will inspire others!

Hi I'm Jody, Also from the Twin Cities MN Metro area. I'm 30, married and have a 16month old little boy who was born 12 weeks premature at 1lb 5oz. I was trying to lose more weight before I got pregnant and was back to my pre pregnancy weight within days of him being born, but the stress from the 3 month NICU stay and…

I haven't logged since the end of May :( a weekend without internet was all it took to tumble downhill. I've logged today after some encouragement by my health nurse at work. I haven't weighed myself yet to see where that's at, probably not too good. I can do it, just not very motivated right now. I miss having a gym…
