Another vote for Panache! I bought one a while ago and the friend I was shopping with said it looked like I was wearing a regular bra when I put a shirt on over it. It's very comfortable and I love that you can make it a racerback. I switched to using it that way once I lost enough weight that it wasn't fitting as well. I…

Ordering a custom pair of jeans! http://www.indicustom.com/custom-jeans-indiDenim I've already got the options picked out and saved. We'll see how close I am to the measurements I put in when I reach my goal.

I thought of another one! It was huge for me. lol You can watch the Biggest Loser without feeling guilty because you're actually working on yourself too.

I finished the program last month and did my first official 5K race on Memorial Day. I started out doing my jogs at 6 mph and walking at 3.5 mph. I finished my race in 29:59, which put me at a pace of 9:40/mile. In the 9 weeks of doing C25K I lost 18 pounds, about 6" off my hips, 6" off my waist, and 2" off my neck. It's…

Just what I needed today! It was nice to be reminded of how far I really have come. You catch a glance of yourself before jumping in the shower and your back and butt are both smooth :noway: You keep pulling at the skin under your chin because you can't believe it's gone down so much. It's not an acrobatic feat to put…

I can't believe it has been 6 weeks already!! I have wasted the past two weeks and gained 0.4 pounds overall. Not horrible, but still the wrong direction! Okay, I'm back on track. This morning I ran a 5K and it was awesome! I was so not prepared for the difficulty of the hills and running on pavement compared to the…

I was VERY lucky to lose weight this week...I don't know why I've had such a hard time watching my calories this week! But the weight loss is slowing down so I have got to get back to it.

Nice going, Bobbi! I am right there with you...finished on Friday and want to work on speed. How are you going to do it? I was thinking of using the C25K format and increasing the speed on the faster intervals but am not sure.

Wow, we have more people! Welcome :flowerforyou: I'm pretty excited. I'm hoping by next week to hit 137, which would put me at my prepregnancy weight and where I had to stop losing weight 2 years ago. It's taken me WAY too long to get back here, but I'm happy that it's so close again! What does everyone have planned for…

Since I officially weigh in on Sundays, I'm changing the dates on my chart. I always count my Sunday weight anyway!

First, I finished C25K today. Wooohooo!! I think I'm ready to work on my speed now and I'm thrilled! Second, this is a really strange one. LOL I noticed the other day that my armpits are not flat anymore...they actually go in so they live up to their name. I told you this was a strange one! :laugh:

You can do it! Welcome :flowerforyou:

Happy birthday, Brandiann! I am doing measurements once a month. The last time I took them was actually March 23 and I'll be taking them again on May 1. I'm pretty excited to see how much I've shrunk in that time. Turtle, yay on the Polar F6! Highly jealous here :tongue:

Posting on Sunday again while I'm thinking about it! If I continue on this pace I'll end up at about 121 pounds by our ending date. My 30 pound goal would put me at 115, but either way I'll be thrilled! Starting weight 04/13/09: 145.0 90 day goal: 115.0 04/20/09: 143.2 (-1.8) 04/27/09: 141.4 (-1.8) 05/04/09: 05/11/09:…

How has the weekend been for everyone? Mine is winding down now and I'll be relaxing the rest of the day, ahhhhh. I had a great moment this morning though...while I was getting ready for church I tried on a shirt that I haven't worn in some time and it was baggy all over. So I tried on a medium and it fit very nicely! I…

Hi! Mind if I join? I'm a SAHM to 3 boys, who are 9, 6 and 16 months. I weigh in on Sundays so will update my stats then. My starting point is 143.2 pounds. For a while I struggled with getting my exercise in each day. But a couple weeks ago I decided I'd at least do my cardio before my husband left for work, so he started…

Cool, I'll check those out! I haven't had a week so far in the past 7 weeks that I haven't lost over a pound so I guess I figure it's got to slow down sooner or later. Maybe mentally preparing myself so when it does happen I won't get too frustrated? I started slowing down my last time when I hit 18 pounds lost and I'm…

It's going! I made brownies last night and was all excited about being able to have a serving for only 71 calories. Then I look at the number of servings for a 9x13 pan and it was 48. LOL Talk about small squares! Oh well, at least my kids can enjoy them. I've been doing pretty well exercise wise and food wise. I'm pretty…

Me too! Once again I was amazed at being able to do it. :laugh: I was also thrilled to see the number of calories burned in that time...392 according to my treadmill!! Strictly walking on varying inclines for the same amount of time I'd be lucky to hit 200. Loving this!

Woohoo for all the losses so far! 83 days to go. Can't believe it's been a week already. Well, this morning started out really nicely! I actually got all of my exercise done before heading to the bus stop with the kids. It was very hard but it's nice knowing I've got the whole rest of the morning to get caught up on the…

Wow, you look awesome!! What an inspiration :flowerforyou:

Since Sunday is my official weigh in day I'll just do it now and count it as tomorrow. lol Starting weight 04/13/09: 145.0 90 day goal: 115.0 04/20/09: 143.2 (-1.8) 04/27/09: 05/04/09: 05/11/09: 05/18/09: 05/25/09: 06/01/09: 06/08/09: 06/15/09: 06/22/09: 06/29/09: 07/06/09: Final weigh in 07/12/09: Total loss to date: 1.8…

Thanks! As far as gadgets like that go, I think they're good for helping you find proper form but you don't get as good of results as if you did it on your own using weights or resistance bands. Does that make any sense? I know other people have had great success using it, though. One review I saw of it says that you'll…

I don't use any machines, but they are GREAT for shaping your thighs and hips. Lie on your side and lift your leg with your toes facing forward (top for abduction, lower for adduction). Try doing it so that each repetition takes 4 seconds total, you'll feel the burn big time. With the ball, you'll really feel it in your…

How about pelvic tilts? Those are killer! I agree with troyjill, lunges are also really good. Let's see...leg extensions and raises are good, as are side abductions/adductions. If you like step aerobics that's also a great way to get your butt looking better. Do you have a balance ball? Those are awesome for strength…

Happy Sunday, everyone! Today is my official weigh in day and I'm going to stay off the scale until the next one. I was down 1.8 pounds this morning, a total shock! I was sure it would be less than a pound since I really didn't track much. But I'm back with it today so hopefully I can keep this pace for a while! Today is…

Ahhh, Saturday! We enjoyed the Pirates game last night and I refrained from eating the goodies there. The root beer float sounded soooo good. This has been a great week! While I didn't track things as much as I should have (okay, or at all) I still stuck to my portions and did my exercise. This morning after my strength…
