I am totally in and am hoping this will give me the incentive I need to get back into exercise and healthy eating. I have been having an issue lately that has me snacking at night, so my challenge goal is to not snack past 7 pm. This is a tough time of day for me, so this will be a real challenge. Good luck to all the…

A few years ago a friend said losing 10-15 pounds was an easy thing to do. As I have struggled for the last few years, she now admits that it really is not that easy. Losing weight is hard work, any way you look at it and the older you get, the harder it is. I have found for me, that I am most successful if I am consistent…

1 pound gain this week.

No change this week.

oops, I forgot to report this week. I had a .6 pound loss.

Up 1.6 this week.

Congratulations! Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy. We will be here for you when you return! Good luck.

Lost 2.6 pounds this week!

You may have hit a plateau, at which point you need to shake things up. If you are lifting, try increasing your weights a little or if you are eating the same amount of calories each day, try having a higher day and a lower day. When you don't change things, your body gets used to it and becomes more efficient so that you…

Gained 2.4 this week. Easter and a birthday = not good for my plan. Back on track today.

I gained 1.2 pounds this week, but considering the week I have had I am ok with it. This week will be better!

I am happy to be a buddy to someone.

Jodie - you do not need to apologize to any of us! You started this group that has grown to almost 500 people, you should be proud of that! The weight loss journey is never easy and we all have struggles. What matters is how you deal with those struggles and how you decide to conquer them. You are not quitting and not…

Lost 1.4 this week!

Congrats on reaching your goal. Best of luck to you. I hope you enjoy your new workouts. Sorry to see you leave.

Looks great! Thanks for the motivation and creativity to have another motivating game on here.

Way to stay focused! Great job!

Lost 1.6 this week!

I'm in! Sounds like fun! Starting weight on 3/5 is 146.

I see a lot of people talking about HRMs. I do not have one but am intrigued enough to look into it. For those that do have an HRM, what brand/model do you use?

Lost 1.2 this week.

Welcome! I sent you a friend request.

Lost .6 this week. Not great and still 2.8 higher than where I was 3 weeks ago. Need to shake things up this week!

I sent you a request too!

Gained 1.4 this week. That is two weeks of gains and a total of 3.4! Not happy about it and next week I plan to report a loss! Still down almost 8 pounds since Jan 1 though, so I guess I shouldn't be too upset with myself!

I can relate and am in a similar situation. I started on Jan 1 at 155.6 and was down to 144.4 last Tuesday. This morning I was 148.2. Not happy about the gain, but I have done the same thing.....not logging regularly and cheating too much. I have had some stress, and while I can look at that as an excuse, there will always…

Thank you! I so needed to read that today!

One more thing I forgot to mention....if you don't like something you buy from collage video..you can return it. Even if it has been opened. Watch some videos and see what you think will work for you. Instructor is key for me.

I tried insanity and I didn't like it. It is too hard on my knees. I do a lot of weights, but low impact. Are you opposed to a woman instructor or looking for a male instructor? I would suggest going to collagevideo.com. They sell thousands of DVDs and have clips of every video, the level (ie - beginner, advanced), and I…
