Nope, not being silly. The gain impacted you. I don't agree w/your therapist.

Been in group since January.... however, haven't been on this site for about 4 weeks. No excuse.... Wedding is on 9/14. Just a short bit away.

Here I am -- could someone bring me up to speed? Not stressed over wedding. The first gown is still going to be the gown I wear to the church. At the church, I'm changing into the gown and a veil a co-worker is making. Groom has no idea of the switch. I had my measurements done for the gown. I need to go back after she…

Agree... awesome goals..... we're here for you!

Heard of this -- I will need to pass due to my diabeties.

Congratulations to your winner. Best wishes for a long, happy and blessed marriage!

Thanks. The negative thought is saying, well he must have measured wrong. There's no way I did that. Haven't dropped clothing sizes yet.. that makes it frustrating. Patience, patience, patience.... that's what is needed.

Very sorry for your loss. My Grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer as well. Like in your situation, once the diagnosis was made - her passing came very quickly. It's great you returned to the gym. Perhaps set a goal for longer periods of time -- add 5 - 10 minutes more each week. Food is tough. Perhaps set a…

Sorry to hear of the loss of your pet. Our pets are our little (or big depending on the breed) children. Wishing all success this week -- may we reach our goals.

Beginning date: 3/23/2013 Today's measurements at the end of the 6 week challenge waist - lost 3 inches hip - lost 2.25 inches thigh - gained 1.5 inches upper arm - no change calf - lost .75 inches bust - lost 1.5 inches weight loss - 2.2lbs

Yup, I agree -- protein is the way to go. Add to every meal... at least that's what my dietitan stated for me. Today, I learned (again) - lack of exercise means weight gain. The scale showed a gain. So I need to refocus (again). I will do my measurements tonight or Saturday... since they are due to another group I'm in by…

New goals or struggles...... Emotional eating -- oh, that's a struggle for me as well! Last week I fell short on the exercise goals -- missed 1 of 3 strength days, missed 1 of 3 ab days and 2 of 3 stretch days. Did make the 6 of 6 cardio days. I get discouraged easily. Perhaps the scale isn't the better indicator --…

Yup, well said.

That's what we are here for.... support, encouragement and safety to vent. Take care.

Ok, it seems Walmart will not be on potential employers list. Gee, and I wanted to hand out stickers and say "Welcome to Walmart!"

We are our worst critic. So, how do we beat that??

No exotic location. Going to Williamsburg VA

Sorry to hear of your physical challenges and the loss of your Dad. It's awesome you were dedicated to 20 days of the 30 day shred. So, there's your proof you can. Sticking to something for the long term basis is my problem as well. My suggestion is allow your body to heal. You're worth the time to make yourself well. Then…

Your first gain since December -- and it's a 1/2 lb. Be proud... not bummed.

It's truly a crappy situation you're in and I'm sorry you are going through this. I agree with that's been said - document, document, document..... I work in a human resources office -- that's what we tell supervisors -- document, document, document. Be specific - include dates & times. I also agree - doctor's note to…

Born, raised in Jersey. Lived in Burlington County for most of my life. My neighbors were cows, horses, blueberry fields and cranberrry bogs. And of course, the Jersey Devil in the Pine Barrens area! Had a few years in Trenton -- had a few years out of state.

I too was perplexed on how to enter weight training on my exercise journal here. The strength training was too specific.... Ended up selecting weight training from the cardio portion. (see my journal of 4/22).

Thanks. My girlfriend is visiting end of May/beginning of June so I am looking forward to that. Plus my honeymoon in September.... looking forward to that!

I like that goal.

Congratulations to all.

Well done to all.

Back from vacation -- my goal is the exercise plan that includes cardio, ab, strength and stretch. We'll see what happens.

Well, today was the first time I have done a morning workout -- did a 10 min Pilate Ab DVD and a 30 min 2lb weight ball DVD. The only reason I was up earlier to do this was H2B stated as he was leaving at 5:15am that I would probably go back to bed and hit snooze many times. Proved him wrong

ooops...... I won't be weighing myself on 4/17. Sorry, I need to withdraw from the challenge. I won't be near a scale on 4/17. Best of luck to all participating. Loved Phoenix -- I used to live there. Loved Vegas -- I have vacationed there.

Check your local library.... The one in my area offers a free adult yoga class - 1x/month. The instructor has her own website where she posts 10minute instructional videos.
