I am new also. I just looked for a team that was new at starting. It seems like new ones are starting almost daily. I am in two groups. Slim by summer and they have there 1st week weigh in tomorrow. So I am sure you could join in it seems like we have lost most of our team anyway. I am also part of the Sisterhood of the…

It is nice to talk to someone else familiar with the Army. So was Hawaii your last duty station? I would never want to go to Hawaii and I have heard terrible things about the schools there. You oldest is 8 right? My oldest is 7. I remember seeing in one of your posts about the dance workout video. My daughter loves working…

I know what you mean about eating different when your hubby is home. My husband is a big late night snacker and I find it hard when he is sitting next to me with a bag of chips not to have a few or a lot. WE also eat out a lot more when my hubby is home. It is much easier to keep the junk food out of the house when he is…

Yeah that is what I thought also! I couldn't see spending that much on a video I had not seen before or tried out. I know a lot of people like them but I am a try it out first kinda girl. I found the 30 day shred on Target for like $8. I might have to try it. We can get stuff shipped here most of the time cause it is just…

I would check with your doctor. I am sure the baby is fine. It is just finding the right amount of calories for you and especially for you to lose weight. How did losing weight with your first go while BF?

Welcome! I had to stop breastfeeding but I would talk with your doctor and lactation consultant or LLL. I got a lot of mixed views on limiting calories and adding calories. I was initially adding 500 calories cause that is what the LLL consultant told me to do. Well I was gaining weight. Then I went to my ob and she said…

Yeah I was looking at the p90x and the turbo jam and they are like $60. I know they some with a bunch of workouts but I want to try them before I buy them for that much money. My husband is Army and we are stationed in Germany and our library on post does not have any exercise dvd's or even vhs tapes:( I also am stuck with…

OK question for EVERYONE! How did you pick your goal weight? I have been heavy for a long time, about 10 years. I have times when I am lighter but never super skinny or anything. I hade lost 60lbs before getting prego and at that point I was at 190. The goal I set was to be 175. I think I was in 9th grade the last time I…

I think I joined this Team. Are weigh in's on Thursday's? I get confused and tried not to join to many groups. I am down 15 lbs since 5 June! I am excited at how fast it is coming off. I would just love to be under 200! only 6 lbs to go.

Don't beat yourself up just wake up and know that you don't want to do that again. I know it is easier said than done but 6 cookies is not that big of a deal, really!

So our you stationed in Alaska? Also what workout DVD's do you do? I have been looking for some new ones but I hate spending so much money on them in case I hate them.

So my cardio is so mixed up depending on the day and what I have planned. Life is so crazy when my husband is gone. So usually I try to get to the gym M,W,F. I have to bring my daughter so I do 15 min on the Stair climber and 15 min on the Eliptical or I sometimes switch that up and do 30 of one. On those days in the…

You can do it!!!!!! OK so fill me in what did you do to train for a 5k run? I always do 5K runs but I just walk and average about 50 min. I am not good at running at all. When I am on the tredmil I get so out of breath I am lucky if I can run 1/4 mile. I can't imagine 3.1 miles. So if you don't mind sharing I would love to…

Sorry I am behind everyone. I lost 4 lbs last week! I have been doing cardio every day and sometimes 2 times a day. I will try and look at everyone's updates later.

I know that when Aunt Flow comes I have bloating and usually do not lose that week, sometimes I am even heavier while on my cycle. I always crave salty and chocolaty foods. I make sure to allow my self to have some but not to over-induldge. This month when AF came around I had the 100 caloried pack of pretzels on hand to…

Here are the links. I am not really logging the on there site. I just think the weekly tools they give you are great. I did my initial test yesterday and I am starting Day one Week One Today. I would love to see if I can doo 100 push ups and 200 sit ups in the 6 weeks which is what the program says. They had group on here…

PumkinHeadsMOMMA- I wanted to ask you how old you little one is, if you don't mind? You mentioned teething and my little one is almost 8 months. We are up to 4 teeth but she is a saint and not cranky, thank goodness. Anyway was just curious. I think there was another Mom on here with a baby teething.

Alright I am heading to bed. I am exhausted. I cleaned for about 2 hours. I figured that out and it is almost 500 calories. Then I did a 2 mile in home walk while my lo was sleeping and then after both my girls were asleep I did a 1 mile in home walk and a bunch of brunches. Anyone else want to join me in the sit up or…

Wow looks like you will make that goal and some. I have lost 3 lbs this week as well leaving 3 lbs.

Good Morning Everyone! I know our weigh in's our on Tuesday's but I weigh everyday and keep a food journal and the end of my week is Sunday. So I had lost 4 lbs, and since I Started three weeks ago several inches! Yeah I just had to share. I will give you my weight on Tuesday. Now it is cleaning day in my house. So that I…

ok so I just ordered three new work out videos! I am so excited and can not wait till they get here. I hope it doesn't take to long. I have a Walk Away the Pounds DVD and I like it but I have had it for 3 years and needed a change. I like her workout style so I went with three of her brand new DVD's.

Sounds Good! I am starting on Monday since it suggested doing on Mon-Wed-Fri. I did my initial and am embarresed to say I could only do 6 push ups. I think I could have done some more but my form was not great and my 6 year old and 7 month old and dog were all in my face. Not a great plan. So I am starting on Monday, how…

Well they had a group on here but I did not join the group. I thought it would be to confusing cause it is an ongoing thread and you can join when ever. So anyway I am just going to do it on my own, I think it is a good goal to set for myself. Here are the links to them. I would love if someone else was doing it around the…

OK so I have had a good day. It is 6:30pm and I have about 250 calories left so I am trying to think of a healthy snack to eat. I probably have more calories based on this site though since they give you extras for working out. I keep a paper food journal. It is easier to me, cause otherwise I could spend all day everyday…

I weigh daily. No real reason I just do. What I used to do when I weighed weekly was weigh myself and then put the scale under the sink cause otherwise I was on it sometimes 5 times a day. I was making myself sick. SO if you face temptation again you might want to fine somwhere to put it.

I am with you! My goal is to lose 6 lbs as well. I would really love to lose 11 pounds so I am bellow 200 but I know that is unreasonable for me. I also want to make sure I am working out 6 days a week. I am usually good about that but there are always days that I am like oh well. So Good luck with your surgery an dyour…

I am not in charge but I sure hope that you stay since you were the first one that even posted to the other thread! I think all us January people should stick together! I saw that you and your wife are expecting, congrats! Do you all know what your having yet? THey grow up so fast. I had my daughter in June and it is hard…

Goal Weight- 175 Total Weight loss- 35 lbs Weekly goal- 2 lbs Real goal- To be a healthier mother. To look sexy when my husband comes home. To be…

I'd love to join! I am new to the site. So I think I saw you all do your weigh ins on Thursday and end in April is that right? For breakfast I had 1 cup shredded wheat, honey nut flavor and 1/2 cup 1 % milk. However I am in Germany and I have had all three meals of my day. I am getting ready for bed! Thompsons81702 START…
