So what are everyone's goals for the week as far as workouts and times per week working out?

Well congrats on reaching milestone. I can't wait to reach some of mine. Unfortunaley I dopn't have any good news to report today. The wife and i went out to eat yesterday because we didn't get to on V- day. I let her pick the place and wouldn't you know she picked the Freakin Cheese Cake Factory. I think I did ok…

Well I think the biggest reason i lost so much back was because I had completly quit working out for about a week and a half. When I started back I went as hard as I could on my workouts. You have to keep in mind that the program I am doing is a solid hour of either cardio or stength trainning. It's very similiar to…

Wll I have got some AWESOME news! I had my first weigh in here at work. Last friday i weighed 242, and this morning.........235.6!!!!!almost seven lbs in a week! My goal was five and I've got to say I am pretty happy with my self. I was so excited to start back to working out last week and I went pretty hard. I sure am…

I picked my weight because that is what i weighed before I went completely out of control. I used to workout all the time and I always stayed around 185-195. I may eventually try and get down to 185. But right now I just want to get to 200lbs and then 5down from that. The five is just a little extra kick.

I'm a BIG fan of Power 90 for beginners and P90X for those wanting some more intensity! There are A LOT of people on this site that will agree with me....For me there is no better way to get the most workout for your time. You ought to go to youtube and just search P90X results sometime and see what you find...it's quite…

I have my first weigh in at work tomorrow. I know I'm going to be down it's just a matter of if I am going to meet MY goals I set for myself. But I got something I'm excited about. My best friend and old college roommate has decided that he wants to start doing the P90X workout. We all went to the movies last night and it…

The reason you're probably not as sore as when you first started is because your muscles are becoming condition to that type of strenious activity. Eventually your body will plateau and you'll have to change up the types of excerise. That all depends if you are doing basically the same moves in your classes that you always…

You can do it however you feel comfortable. I don't want to make anyone feel out of place. It's one of things that we have to do for the P90X and I took my 30 days pics at the end of Jan. When my wife and I were looking at them it was a really good feeling when she told me how proud of me she was for sticking with my new…

You know what might be a good idea...if we all post pics of what we look like now, or some kind of current pic. That way in a couple of months we can all look back and laugh at how we used to look! Anyone else wanna do it?

OH......I meant to mention this earlier, Pepamint I can already tell a difference in you face from the other pics that you had up! You face looks slimer.....keep up the good work!

Hey ladies.....Seems like we're doing pretty good staying together! Congrats to the ones that have lost. a zero weight loss is better than a positive gain! My check in as of this morning was down 2 lbs from last week. I am getitng back into my P90X and I know it's a lofty goal but I am hoping to be down 5lbs next week. I…

Well as of right now everything is loaded because it's just tyhe two of us.....when our lil peanut head gets here that will all change...but of course by that time we will be in our new house which is in a WAAAAYYYY better part of town! So I won't have to worry near as much!

Well I had my weigh in yesterday at work.....I actually cheated on my weigh in. I drank about 5 big glasses of water and didn't go to the bathroom before we weighed in. It actually added about 2.5 lbs to what i weighed. I also kept all my keys and cell phone and wallet in my pocket too. Next week when we weigh in I'm going…

OH yea! I am most definatley going to be continuing on the P90X. I still believe that it is the best workout program for me. In fact I think it works so well that I had to make my self stop using for a week or so because I knew it would make me keep losing weight. I'm starting back on the second phase tomorrow. where are…

CONGRATS pepamint83!!! That's the best feeling when someone else notices. That happen to me the other day. one of my co-workers asked if i went and bought new clothes....i just smiled and said no, these just haven't seen the light of day in 2 years!

Well tomorrow is the day that I have my weigh in for my work contest. I have not worked out once this week. I really haven't watched what I have been eating. Just for kicks this morning I went to the scales before I went to work and guess what.....DOWN A POUND AND 1/2!! What the Crap. I have purposefully not exercised in…

I'm still Around.....Had to go check on the people working on my house this morning and I have had a busy day at work so far (that's what happens when you take a 3 day weekend!!!) I am exactly the same as I was last week. I'm Holding steady until the end of the week. I promise I'm going to more than make it up once my work…

Well from Jan 1 I have lost a total Of 13 lbs. But I have already gone down one pant size and 2 belt loops. It's weird, My shoes don't fit as well as they used to. Anyone else had that problem? I have had to stop putting in what I eat into MFP every day like I was. Not that I am trying to get away from using it but I know…

I haven't stopped in for a couple of days...I have been busy with work and getting our house finished. We're in the process of building a new house and it's going so slow!!! I just didn't want anyone to think I had forgotten about you gals! Keep up the good work! Also, I know we are weighing in on Tuesdays, but I wanted to…

Well this depends on how what your particular goals are. I know for heavy lifters that wanted to gain muscle the rule of thumb is at least 1g of protein per lb of body weight a day. Now if you're nit trying to bulk up I think it's OK the go over what your recommended daily allowance of protein is, so long as your not…

welcome......this site only gets better as you use it more!

You gals just keep right on. None of that stuff bothers me. I grew up with a sister that thought it was funny to try and embarrass me with that stuff, plus at work there are only 3 guys and 13 girls.....I'm so used to be out numbered and hearing conversations like that. Honestly I don't know what would happen if I wasn't…

Okay, so I was really afraid to step on the scale today since I'm expecting a visit from "Aunt Flo" ANYTIME NOW! I feel so bloated and disgusting, I was sure I had gained a lot! BUT... officially I've only gained one pound and I haven't gained anything in inches except for half an inch on my boobs and I'll take that!laugh…

:laugh: I love the Cheerleader Phrase at the End!!!! GO TEAM!!!!

That's what's really helps me....if you can find a high intensity activity that you like to do then you don't think about it as "working out" it's just fun! I guess In Alaska you could run sprints from the wood pile to the fire place.....just get one log at a time so you have to make more trips!

Yea I can't wait until Summer gets here! I bought an awesome new Diamondback Mountain bike last summer and I got on 10-15 mile rides on it about twice a week. Most is on trails so you are constantly peddling. That's a heck of a workout! I'm getting excited thinking about it! My two old roomates are going to start joining…

The reason I asked is that one of the workouts I do for the P90X is an hour and 1/2 of yoga!!! Not, I haven't made it any further than about 40 mins yet! I'm like you, I don't have the paitence. To me though it's not much of a cardio workout. When I put in my excerise on here it only gave me like 120 calories burned for 30…

I'm going to let this one slide.......hey what kind of cardio are you gals doing? Anyone do Yoga on a regular basis?

I think ya'll started a new thread in hopes of getting away from me!! You'll have to try harder next time!! LOL! Congrats to everyone on their losses so far! Next week will be a full week and it should be even better! I can't wait to go on a scavenger hunt for the next thread you gals try to lose me with!
