OK Challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ladies and our missing Mr. Sister, I know some of us have been here for several weeks and others are new. I challenge us to drink at least 2 liters of water a day! I am sure some of you already do but I know I have started to slack recently. Then try and post everyday…

OH thanks Resa! No I am not down. I am happy that I lost 1 lb. As long as I do not gain I am all good! I was carrying my daughter who is 11 months and 20 lbs. I was thinking it would be like straping her to my back and another one of her to my chest and that would be close to the amount of weight that I have lost. It is…

HI everyone! Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I am weighing in 1 lb lighter so 181 from 182 last week. I was 180 for a brief moment last week. I know I will see that number again soon. I feel horrible that Kacee nominated me to pick a challenge and I didn't even show up yesterday. OK let me think of a good challenge and I will…

Thanks! I know they have only seen a few pictures since I have started losing weight. My grandmother had mailed me some size 18 jeans and 1 x t-shirts about a month ago and I had to mail them back and tell her I was in a size 12 and a L. I don't think she believed me. She exchanged them and got me a pair of 14's and I told…

OMG OMG OMG! I weigh in everyday for acountabilitay. Helps me know what I am putting into my body is good nor not. Anyway remember on Tuesday I wanted to be at 180 cause it was a number thing! I am 180.2 which I can not remember the last time in my life I was 180. I want to look at my medical records so I can really find…

Kacee, Yeah My plan it to not gain while home. If I lose by some freak of nature I will be happy but I am not going to stress over it. As long as I don't come back heavier than I leave then I will be happy. Also I eat out a lot I do just have to make healthy food choices. The big problems is that I will eat out two meals a…

Hi there! I am down 1 lbs this week. I am at 182, which I am stoked about but I really want the scale to say 180 now that I am so close. It is all in my head. Anyway as for the challenge, I am not sure what I could do. I live on the second floor so I must always walk up and down the step to my house and to do laundry. I…

Also I am excited to say that I have lost 40 pounds 15 weeks! I hope to be at 175 by June when we go home to vist. I am at 183 right now. I also am working on my abs major time. I have the Jillian Michaels "No More Trouble Zone" DVD and it is so good but a killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am down 1 lb this week! There are several challenges that we could do. drink water, no weighing all week, post a healthy reciepe to share, post your food all day, eat all your calories!!!!!, I am sure I can think of some more if you give me some time.

It sounds to me like from her teething. If it doesn't get any better or if any more come though I would take her to the doctor. My lo is teething also. She was waking up last week just screaming. She has 4 and the other have not popped through yet. I hope they do soon I am tired of a cranky baby. How old is your lo again?…

I am pretty sure it is for all shoes if you are wearing them to work out in. Especially doing things like running in them puts a lot of wear and tear on them. You also should have seperate shoes for workouts and everyday wear. I know what you mean about hurting after running outside. There is a huge difference.

Thanks! I do 5 k's for fun. I have always done them, I used to just walk.

oh PS, workout or running shoes should be replaced every 3 months. It does not go by the sole because that does not wear down. The support inside wears down very fast if you are wearing them often. I figured out my miles and I should replace my shoes like every 2 months, yikes that is expensive.

I am doing the couch to 5 k. I am still not good at running at all. I have done two 5 k's since you were gone. I got 9 min off my previous time but was not able to run the whole thing. I ran and walked. If we go home we will be there about 3 weeks. The good thing is if I can find someone to watch my girls I have access to…

It sounds like a sprain to me. Try wearing an ankel brace. Or maybe you are not wearing proper shoes for your foot style, ie high arch, flat foot and things like that. I say just take it really easy which I am sure is not what you want to hear.

Shoes do not affect ankels. They more affect shins. You should replace them every 300 miles though.

I am down from 189.4 to 185.2. So I am down 4 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a total of 39 lbs and only 20 left to go! glad to have you back Kacee. I am kicking my butt in gear cause I think we are going home to visit family in June and I want to be at 175. Also I am wearing all size 12's, down from size 18's. I am so…

Where's are Mister this week? He should be weighing in at work today. I know he said he was busy with his house and all. Just sad to see it down to so few. At least there are us though.

Meg- I would kill to look like that. It is just hard for us to see ourselves, especially in pictures exposing all! I hate to look at my pictures but then I look at them all together and see huge differences. I still have to put my newest on my page. Thessa- Ok so I downloaded on of the Couch 2 5 K podcasts on itunes. How…

I forgive you! I was looking this morning though since my time is totally different than everyone else's. I am down 1 lb. I have been yoyoing so bad I am not sure but I swear this time I am on track. Yesterday was great and so was today. Here's to the rest of the week! Ahh I forgot Easter was this week and I have to cook.…

I'm here. I was super busy yesterday. We did a 5 K in the morning. It was my whole family, so both my girls. I did it in 41:25 so 10 sec more. I am ok with that though since I had my 7 year old with me and she was doing a kinder volksmarch at the same time so we had to stop at booths along the way. Then we had a whole…

BTW I am so excited I have bought three pair of size 12 now. I started in a size 18 and am in a 12 in just 12 weeks. I have not worn a size 12 since like middle school.

Are we down to like 3 people? We have all drifted away. I am gonna post a new picture later today. It is a pain I have to switch it to verticle. I am totally with you Resa but I doubt I will be able to post after all my meals. However I must say that I had been slacking on that actual counting calories. Yesterday I did…

10 K Congrats! I remember when you did your first 5 K, seems like just a few weeks ago. I still can't even run a whole 5 K.

Hello- Sorry I have been MIA. I come and look at the thread at least one time a day but since my Hubby is home I have not had much time to surf the web. Unlike when he is gone and I am bored and have to much time on my hands. So my weight for today is 190. Down 3.6 lbs since last week! I am also technically back to what I…

Well I am not sure, we are trying to figure this thing out together. The think is he has been gone 8 months so he wants to eat all the food he has not had. The main reason for my gaining is because of eating out. I had cut all fast food out except like once a week and resturant food only ever other week. He knows how hard…

Really there is a couch to 5 k on itunes? I think that would be so great. I try and try to put my music in order to motivate me but I am not good at that. I will have to look in a little while. Glad your doing ok. I missed a lot last week. I also gained 2 lbs, bad week for both of us but we can get that off in no time!

OK so I did not have a great week! I am not sure how much I am officially up but I think 2 lbs. I bought a new scale and my old scale was about 3 lbs off from what I figured. So here's to next week and seeing the scale move the other direction. I just had a busy few days and was not counting calories and eating out a lot.…

I don't think there is a new thread yet. I have to say this week is not great. Due to AF and my hubby coming home I think I put on 2 lbs. I also bought a new scale and I think my old scale was 3 lbs off. So next week will be the tell all as to how much weight I have lost. Yesterday I got back to counting my calories. I had…

I just got back from my first 5 k since getting healthier and I did it in 41 min 15 sec!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited, I got 9 min off my time last fall!
