Haven't been on lately. I have been experiencing some physical problems. I have a pinched nerve and have been in severe pain. I have been thinking about you all. Hope everyone is doing well. Not sure when I will be able to get back on it again, please keep me in your prayers. Good luck 200 Club!:heart:

Haven't heard from aman...do we have a new challenge as yet?

Of course! We all have our off times...the point is - pick yourself back up. Each day is a new start. Make the commitment to yourself to attain a specific goal this week and then DO it!:bigsmile: You will be so proud of yourself!:flowerforyou:

Weigh-in 219.5 so I am down 3 pounds this week:blushing: ! WOO HOO!!!!:bigsmile:

TOM is always hard for me because I just can't seem to motivate myself. However...you also need to realize that you need to MAKE you important in your life, not at the end of the list of all the little things we need to do in everyday life. Maybe talk to your hubby and ask if he can take over making dinner a couple of…

OK so I have to admit that I am an Aerosmith junkie...soooooo that being said I don't want to miss a thing (theme song from Armageddon) That is one of the reasons I am doing this...for ME...I don't want to miss one smile, one step in my hubby's or son's lives...nor my own! I will live a much more active, longer and…

I use 2 lb weights with mine. Jillian gives me a major butt kicking all by herself without the weights.:laugh: Remember not to overdo, that can result in injury and we want to be healthy!:flowerforyou:

Plan for rewarding yourself! Make it on a day when you have a good calorie burning workout and then you won't blow your calories out nor have any need to feel guilty! Yes I said REWARD...this is hard work and it is a new lifestyle and mindset...skinny people do make poor food choices occasionally, the difference is that it…

:flowerforyou: Welcome and good luck on your weight loss journey! No one will tell you it will be easy, but with MFP it ALMOST is!:laugh: You can do this!:bigsmile:

WTG Pink! The clothes not fitting anymore is such a great feeling!:drinker: Welcome Dani!

I did 35 minutes with light weights and the stability ball today. Not sure what that counts as!:laugh:

They wouldn't TBC us and then give us bad news on top of it would they???:grumble: So I have to believe the make the 77 lbs. As for Laura, she is playing the poor me pity card and playing along with her does her no favors. Jillian's motto is right there on the wall for everyone to see - Pity does you no favors! You know…

WTG PEG!!!!:drinker: I am so very proud of you!:flowerforyou: What a great testimonial about staying on track and taking care of yourself:flowerforyou: You GO GIRL!:bigsmile:

NAH, I am SURE that carrying all that home has to count for some kind of strength training!:laugh:

Well, here's to hoping ALL your birthday wishes come true!:drinker: I wish I could reach you and give you a great big hug, and maybe cry with you a little, then dry your eyes and take you out to get your mind off the "toad". Since can't do that, know that you will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers today and every…

Walked 2 miles today...not as much as the previous days, but hey Biggest Loser was on and I needed my fix!:laugh: WTG everyone! Keep up the great work!:drinker:

Yeah, making us wait a WHOLE week!:sad: SOOOO NOT RIGHT!:grumble: They should have it on at least 2x a week to feed my BL fix!:laugh:

I walked 5.5 miles yesterday for a total of 92 minutes and 4 miles today for a total of 70 minutes!:bigsmile: 3 miles yesterday (42 minutes) and 1.5 miles today (21 minutes) included some strength training moves added to the walking.:drinker:

My solution to the pizza problem... I LOVE pizza!!! and so does my family. It is staple food in our house...every Friday evening...it's my son's "treat" and he knows it is coming...soooo I let them eat the regular pizza and I make my own homemade version (2 or 4 mini pizzas depending upon how hungry I am and how many…

mya...you are truly amazing! 47 pounds since January 1st???? OMG you are my HERO!!!:smooched:

Thanks so much Peg!:love: I logged in another 42 minutes cardio tonight so I did really well today. Hopefully next week's weigh in will be better. I doubt I will meet my goal for 03/03, but that's o.k. the important part is that I am stll on track to being a better me!

Well I had a really rough week this week. It was TOM for me and between that and the weather my back was in agony. So I only did 88 minutes of cardio this week.:cry: . I gained 1/2 a pound:sad: , but that is probably water weight gain...so I am going to get back to it this week. I really fell off because I didn't even do…

This is great! Now with my new pedometer it tells me exactly how many aerobic steps/minutes I do each day! Can't wait to see how well I do at this one!:flowerforyou: Good luck everyone! Walking shoes in hand and heading out the door now!:laugh:

Well i didn't lose any this week:grumble: and I gained 1/2 a lb last week so Friday I totally went off on a tail spin:noway: Had horrible calories (actually scared to go log it in):laugh: I am back today to hopefully lose more this coming week. I got a new pedometer which I :heart: ! It was recommended by Jillian and now I…

MAN I AM BUMMED!!! I realized this morning that I had forgotten to log something yesterday :grumble: and when I did, I had gone over my calories!!!:sad: So correcting yesterday's numbers: Mon 2/16 1369/1360 Yeah, yeah, I know it's only 9 calories, but I blew the challenge on an accident!:noway: Pinkable Love, You might…

We also bake ours, spray pam on bottom of pan and then spritz them with lemon...tates GREAT! It is also a healthy way to make them. You can also do on the grill, but I recommend putting down tin foil first because flounder sometimes falls apart. We had flounder just last night for dinner, was YUMMMY! Good…

I believe we are doing a 4 week cycle...each week amann will give us a new challenge, but you should continue to try to keep the previous challenges as a personal goal. This weeks challenge is to stay within your calories and to make healthy food choices. I'll see if I can scroll back for that challenge and quote it. I…
