velvet, I so relate to wanting to call mom and appologize. I actually did that when my daughter was 10 and it felt so good. It put our relationship on a whole new level. I say, if you feel you need to do it then do it. You won't be sorry:flowerforyou:

Great job greenies:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I would love to respond to each of you specifically but there are so many of us (yay team:tongue: ) that I can't keep up with everyone. But, I do feel the same way kellya does so I will just ditto her:bigsmile: Well, my weigh in went well. I weighed in at…

Yeah, sorry. Not reading right.. I still need to compare it with my other one. I just hope that I'm not eating tmore than I should be based on the new HRM calorie burn:noway:

I did the ET again with my new HRM. 60 minutes at a 6 cross ramp and 9 resistence. Burned 1000 cals. So much better than my other HRM but now I'm wondering if 1000 is too much.

Hi, greenies:laugh: It is so awesome to come here and read how everyone is so encouraging! I know it is helping me on a journey that I have struggled with for years. Everyone has done so good, even if it is only learning how to eat right. I also like the idea of doing measurements at the four week mark. So, I guess that…

No problem, smendek. Anything for the team:love:

ABSOLUTELY, it's ok to take a day off!! In fact, it's almost required. You've been working out very hard and probably haven't taken a day off in weeks. All this does is gets you to the point you're at now, tired and wore out. You need days off to let your body recuperate and heal itself. But, if you're going to rest today,…

I just did it for the first time wearing a heart rate monitor and burned 260 calories. That includes the warm up and stretching after.

Jacque, I read somewhere on here that you should count the 30 Day Shred as circuit training under cardio and if you have a heart rate moniter just put in your time and calories burned. I just did it for the first time tonight. It wasn't as tough as I geared myself up for but it sure did kick my butt! I do think that at the…

Did the elliptical today. I bought a new HRM (a Sportline without a chest strap) because I wanted to see if my other one was working right. I was going to wear them both and compare but forgot to. I wore the sportline and it showed that I burned 1,048 calories in 60 minutes (plus 5 minutes cool down). That's more like the…

kels, hang in there and don't feel so bad about the chocolate! We all have our moments of weakness. Just keep thinking of all the progress you've made and you'll be back on track in no time. By the way, in your avatar, are you the one with the short hair or the long hair? Either way, very beautiful:flowerforyou:

Hi, team. I didn't do too badly this weekend. Really only messed up with chips and salsa yesterday and no exercise. I'm starting Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred workout tonight and I hear it's pretty intense. Hopefully I can hang. Good job this weekend everyone. Just think, it could have been MUCH worse:devil: . The…

Hey, n2, where you at???

Good morning, greenies! Today I went for a two mile walk with some friends then after we were done, I did another two mile walk/jog. It felt really good after not being able to work out so much these last two weeks. Well, I need to go take a nap as I've had to take some cough medicine with codeine and now I'm really…

Have you had your thyroid checked? This happens to me once in a while, but I also have nodules on my thyroid. I do have pronounced swelling in my neck on the side the nodules are on that changes size depending on how much fluid is in them. Maybe you have a nodule?

If I read the story right, it was the grandmother who filed bankruptcy, not the birth mother. Also, I don't think the house in Whittier is the "new" house, as in an earlier article the grandfather said the birth mother and children would be moving to another house that no one would be able to find.

Well, I went to the dr. after work tonight and I have an ear infection in my right ear and a bulging ear drum with lots of fluid behind it in my left ear. Plus, I'm still coughing a little. So, I got some medication and hopefully will be back full board by Monday. Thanks to all for your well wishes, I really appreciate…

Good Friday afternoon, everyone. Today I did much better but still have an earache. I'm going to the gym after work for an hour on the elliptical. Tomorrow morning, I'm going on a 2 mile walk with some friends then I have a bunch of paperwork to do at home. Hopefully, I do well tomorrow so I can cheat a little on…

I'm using a Precor at the gym. I've used two different types of ellipticals and still get the same calorie burn. Admittedly, I don't use a HRM with a chest strap but the one I have says it's not needed. I just bought a new one to do a comparison thinking maybe there is something wrong with my other one. So, I'm going to…

Welcome and the best of luck to you.

Hey everyone. Good job on all the good choices that were made today. Very proud of you all. I didn't do so well in the eating department nor did I exercise today. My ear is all stuffed up and I can't hear out of it. Guess I'm still congested. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. On a positive note, but par for the course, I…

The chart is not showing up here at work. Maybe I have something blocked?

Last night I did a level 6 on the cross ramp with 11 resistence. I am 44 (45 on the 10th) and 159 (boo not using the scale for our challenge:mad: ). I do use a HRM but it doesn't have a chest strap. It's a MIO sport and it seems to be pretty accurate. It uses the pulse rate in your first two fingers to assess your heart…

So, you're at 990 if you go an hour. How come I can't get these numbers???:frown:

Do you use the cals burned from the machine? If so, if you were to do an hour you'd have 840 cals burned, which is still way more than me. I just can't figure out why I don't burn as much as other people.

I also have the 30 Day Shred and had planned on starting it two weeks ago before I got sick. So, now that I'm starting to feel better I think I'm going to start on Monday. I plan on doing it for the full 30 days in a row and switching levels every 10 days. What is everyone doing for Super Bowl? I don't have any definite…

So, tonight I did 60 minutes and burned 529 calories. I did a level six on the cross ramp with a resistence of 11. I was hoping it would have been more:ohwell:

I also do this already (or at least try to most of the time). But I agree with n2dfire, we need to be supportive of everyone and help in any way we can. For those of us that do this already, it should be a breeze this week. For those of us who don't do this yet, it's really not that hard, it just takes a little planning…

Good job, green team. Let's keep it up:bigsmile:

Thanks, Smendek910 :smile:
