Just getting back in the swing of things, but I'll give it a go!

Late update: 200.6 :-( Up from last week, but had very limited healthy choices over the weekend at my parent's house for birthdays. It happens everytime. But I go with what's available because I know it would hurt my mom's feelings if I brought healthier food options into the house. We are german and providing food is…

First 10 burpees done!

Checking in..... 198.3 *down 2.1 lbs :happy:

bump Wow! 140 supportive friends....that's awesome! I just checked in, so I missed the challenge yesterday and today. I will start it tomorrow. Great first challenge, since I have been trying to drink more water. Also a great reminder to eat all the lovely fruit/veggies that I just bought. Thanks for all the time consuming…

Forgot to log Sunday: Breakfast: english muffin w/ nutella & banana Lunch: pasta salad Dinner: Louisiana catfish w/ okra & corn, brown rice, & chocolate birthday cake* *my daughter's birthday was yesterday and life is too short to miss birthday cake :laugh: Monday Breakfast: Pure Protein shake, dannon lite & fit yogurt…

7/17: 202.5 7/24: 200.4 *updated weigh in :-) Wow, Jen! Looks like you hit the mark with everyone signing up. Good Luck, All!

I'm in! We have been trying to eat at home more often, but always seem to manage pizza or some other take out at least 1x/week. Now I have to make up the dinner plans and actually go to the grocery store for the week, instead of stopping by every night!

Hello, All! My name is Michele. I am a 40 yr. old, married with 2 kids (soon to be 13 & 9). I am an assistant teacher/office manager at a preschool. I joined MFP awhile ago when my doctor put me on BP meds, but feel off the wagon in May when my feet and hands started to be painful. The doctors think it is Reactionary…

I was getting headaches too. Then I read a post that said to make sure you are not holding your breath. The next time I worked out, I focused on my breathing and......NO HEADACHE!

Restarting 30 day shred today......fell off the wagon for about 1 1/2 months. Great work out. I made it to level 3 before stopping. Don't get discouraged in those first few days. Jillian says "for those of you on day 5, 6, or 7, you start to feel a change" and I really did. So hang in there! I'll be shredding right there…

SW: 1/2 190.2 GW: 1/31 185

bump for 1/1/11!!!!

Really hoping to just maintain for the month, but will take any loss a can get! SW: 189.0 GW: 184.0

Had a wonderful time with the family over the holiday weekend. Thanksgiving day was pretty good and I didn't feel like I was stuffed to the gills and was full enough to skip dessert. However, the food choices are so limited when we stay with my parents. There really isn't much available in what I would consider the healthy…

I currently work in a preschool of 3-5 yr olds. Something that we have for those children that have trouble seeing parents leave is a picture wall of all the families. If the kids get a little sad and missing mom/dad, we can go over and take a look a the picture....sometimes we even help the kids write a letter to the…

11/01 SW: 188.6 11/12 186.7 11/19 11/26 11/30 GW: 183.6 So glad to have any loss after TOM and slacking had me up about 4 lbs. I would really like to see my monthly goal by Thanksgiving when we see family. Good luck to everyone!!!! Bru: I just caught up on the posts. So sorry to hear about your losses. Thoughts and prayers…

11/01 SW: 188.6 11/30 GW: 183.6 Ended October at 187 lbs, but TOM is coming and I am up already. Oh, well.

I have spanked in the past, but only as a last resort and only maybe a handfull of times for either of my children. I think your grandchildren are too old and will only resent the fact, thus promoting more acting out. Revoking privileges works well with my son @ 12 yrs old. I also assign a dreaded chore. The one that they…

Terri & Kelly: Happy Birthday! Terri: My husband and I have been married 16 years, together for 21 years, and he still has trouble remembering exactly when my birthday is. However, the all time worst was my first Mother's Day. He didn't do anything or say anything. I fumed for 4 days before finally saying something. His…

1/2 way check in..... 8/1 190 8/15 189 I'm okay with only one pound. Actually gained and lost 2-3 pounds in this time. Holding steady here right now and hopefully dropping more!

Sorry about the stress, but glad to hear it wasn't something worse. Hope the muscle relaxers work for you.....they just make me loopy. :tongue:

There is a group for 40+ women at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/124390-women-40-would-like-to-share-progress?page=5#posts-1714761. A great, supportive group. Current challenge is moving 1800 minutes in October. Another great group is Lose 5 pounds a month october 2010 challenge @…

check out www.caloriesperhour.com....they have a activity calculator that will show calories burned. The activities are listed alphabetically (disc golf is under frisbee, ultimate). Just type in your weight and the amount of time played.

Have your blood pressure checked while at the doctor's office. High blood pressure can cause severe headaches.

My biggest problem that caused headaches after working out......apparently I was holding my breath. Once I focused on my breathing during the moves, no more headache. Also, I got major headaches for about 1-2 weeks after I gave up caffiene. Hate those caffiene headaches! But I found that if I increased my water, it helped…

Sorry, jdavis--I just saw your post. I have not lost a lot of weight, but I am really dropping inches. I don't know which to be happier about. Someone on another thread posted that with intense cardio workouts, your muscles hold on to water for up to 2 weeks. This happened to me and then I finally dropped some weight. I…

Finally moved on to Level 3 today......WOW!!!! Great workout, but I am really feeling it in my shoulders and back muscles. Hopefully, it won't take me as long to finish this round as it did Level 2. Kind of fell off that wagon.
