I have to ask...what is Monkey Bread? What ever it is, since it has the word bread in it...it has to be good:laugh: I am planning to go to the gym tonight for the first time in a long time. I am a bit nervous about it. Hopefully I will feel good about myself when I leave, and then I will want to go back again tomorrow!!

Hi Ladies. I'm back from Vegas and unfortunetly made some very poor eatting choices while there. However I must admit that many of the resturants left me with very little choice for eatting healthy. I was quite dissapointed at the selection at many places. Anyway, I came home with a 1 lb gain, despite walking over 15 miles…

Well girls, I am off to Vegas! I leave tomorrow. My goal is to not gain anything while there, and to kick it into high gear when I return. Best of luck working out and eatting right, and I'll check in Monday upon my return:smile:

vanimami - Dont get down about the lack of weight loss. You know in your heart that all the exercise is paying off. Even if you aren't seeing it in the numbers, you are getting healthier, and are doing good things for your entire body!! Feel proud that you can run 6 miles in 52 minutes. That is VERY impressive. Abutler -…

Hi Ladies. It was a roller coaster weekend for me. I weighed in on Saturday afternoon, just to see what it said. I was down 1.5 lbs! I was really excited. I did my official weigh in this morning and I was up .5 So a 2 lb swing in 24 hours...gota love our bodies. It is also my TOM so I think I will just skip recording my…

It sounds like everyone is doing really well at their workouts. Tomorrow I am dragging my hubby to the gym so we can renew the membership. I LOVED how I felt after working out, and I cant wait to get back into it. I am thinking it will really push my weightloss numbers up once I am working out and eatting healthy, not just…

Good job on the weight loss girls! I also got on the scale, and I am down .5 so that is progress. My gym membership expired, and to renew I need my husband to come with me so they can verify he is who I say he is. I have been bugging him for 3 weeks now, and he still hasn't gotten around to it. Do any of you have good…

ourgang - I love the idea of dancing around the house. I will have to try it. Vanddj2, sniffles, and vanimami - Welcome to the group. We seem to have a very supportive group going, and it should be a lot of fun. Also, I updated my profile with my new goals. Can a few of you check out my goals and see if they are…

Congrats! That is a huge milestone.

Thanks guys for the kind words of support yesterday. I think I am just having a rough couple of weeks :) I am 25, and live in Cleveland, OH. My Husband and I were transfered to Cleveland 2 years ago from Minneapolis, MN, where all of our family and friends live. My husband works 60-70 hours a week, and is going to school…

Hi. I weighed in for a loss of 2 lbs this week. I do have one weird issue for you girls. I have always been overweight, but I never felt overweight. I was for the most part comfortable with who I was. All of a sudden over the last few weeks, I feel like I am a mammoth. I feel blubbery and gross. I am totaly self consious…

I am up for joining as well. I would like the motivation and support, but I will give it too! Will the first official weigh in be tomorrow?

Hi Ladies. I thought I would join in with my story. We are planning to start TTC in July of 2010. That gives me 8 months to get as much weight of as possible. I am currently at 205, and am hoping to get down to at least 170 before July. We have been married 3+ years, and have no kids. My DH is finishing his Masters in Dec…

Well, I am back at it again. I have joined you for challanges in the past, but things got crazy 2 months ago, and I am just coming back. My goal is 12 lbs. I gained 6 back over the past few months so I am hoping it will fall off fast. As far as other goals, every weekend until mid september is booked for me. My goal is…

As embarassed as I am to say this, I totaly gave up the last 2 weeks. I ate out every single day last week, and am up 2.5 lbs. I am really going to try to get back on track this week. I only have 12 days until my cruise, and I am really going to push to hit the gym 10 of the 12 days. If I do, I am going to let myself…

Hi Girls...sorry I am so late today. I hurt my back, so working out is NOT an option. Its amazing that I can just get off my chair to get to the printer!! But I figure I am buring more calories trying to get out of my chair and to the printer than I was before....at least it feels like i should be:bigsmile: I am still…

I believe I am stuck.....haven't lost a pound in 3 weeks. And it isn't for a lack of trying. I am a bit frustrated. I hope everyone else is doing well!

Great job on the elliptical Smadag! Didn't make it to the gym, but did manage to do some big time yard work, and I got to be outside rather in the gym:bigsmile: I haven't had a lot of time to look at the Couch to 5K, but I do remember reading somthing a while back. You do not need to pay the $19.95. Somewhere out there is…

I just had lunch with my hubby. To bad we went out for chinese! I tried to drink a lot of water to make up for the grease, and now I don't feel so good:sad:

I had a pretty yucky day yesterday, and went 500 over on calories. I got a migrane in the afternoon, so I went home and went to bed. DH was trying to be nice, and picked up Arby's for dinner. So not only did I not make it to the gym, but I ate Arby's and went back to bed. Today the sun is finally shining, and I have a lot…

You can do it Opera, you can do it!!!

Do you have any recommendations for how to consistently take your measurements accurately? I try to take mine once a month, but I feel like maybe I am not measuring the exact same spot. For example, I measured my arms (what I thought was the largest part) last month and it was 14 inches. Today, the measurement was 15.5…

Good job on avoiding the temptation! Today will be day 5/30 working out. Last night at the gym I had a revelation: I LIKE GOING TO THE GYM!!! This morning on my way to work, I was counting the hours until I could go to the gym. I couldn't believe it.:noway: I am trying very hard not to get on the scale until Monday, as I…

Good job ladies, T - You are such an inspiration:flowerforyou: I am on day 4/30 for working out, and I plan to head to the gym tonight after work. I have been doing well on calorie intake, so I am really hoping I can break through the wall this week and that I can drop a few lbs. My cruise is getting close (24 days), and I…

I made this last night, and it is AMAZING!! YUMMY. Thanks for the recipe:bigsmile:

I had a very busy weekend, and although I never made it to the gym, I did some gardening, and was on my feet walking for 8 hrs straight on Saturday so I think I am going to count that as a workout. I haven't lost anything in a few weeks. I am starting to wonder if I need to mix things up a bit. I have been bouncing up and…

Good Job Girls!!!!! I totaly fell apart last night. Falling apart includes: Garlic Cheese Bread with pizza sauce, Chicken Fingers, French Fries and 2 Cokes. Now that I have my confession over with....I have my entire day planned out today, and I am going to the gym. I am not planning to eat my excercise cals today, to make…

ness - good job. Even one pound is a major accomplishment! I have done 2/40 work outs, and plan to head there tonight as well. I have been doing OK on food, but I have been hitting the coke really bad lately. I already had two today (blame it on the really long meetings this morning). Anyway, I am going to pound down the…

Good Job on Day 1 ladies!!! I did ok. I went to the gym, and got on a broken elliptical. No matter what I did, change the incline, change the resistance, it was super hard. I thought maybe I was just being a baby, but holey moley, I made it 8 minutes and thought I was going to die. So I did a bunch of weights instead. I…

Wow, you look great. The changes are amazing. Each time you get down, just look at these two pictures, and they should really boost your confidence.
