Wow, I didn't log on for 24 hours, and am amazed at all the post's and newbies! For all the newbies, welcome to our group! We weigh in every Wednesday. We also start a new topic each Wednesday with the new week number, and we start a new "little" challenge each week. I didn't even try to log my food yesterday as I took the…

Weigh in Wednesday: SW:202.5 CW:197.5 Loss this week: 1.5 lbs!!!! How did the rest of you do? And how are those pregnant ladies feeling?

My friend also ran while pregnant. She ran up until 2 weeks before giving birth, but her doctor said she was OK to do so, since she had been running before getting pregnant. I have done great on the water this week, making it every day except Sunday. I haven't gone to the gym though since my mom is here. I have joined a…

Opps, double post

I am no expert, but I would recommend doing a little strength training as well. I typically will do 30-40 minutes on the elliptical, and then I head over to the strength machines. I do about 10 minutes of strength. I alternate days, focusing on legs one day and arms the next. I feel like this has helped a bit. I am…

Well I hit my water goal for yesterday, drinking a total of 68oz. In some depressing news....(yes I know you aren't supposed to do this), I steped on the scale this morning, and it says I am up a pound and a half from yesterday morning. I am hoping it is just the scale playing tricks on me. My husband is leaving to go out…

I like the water challenge...great idea. I am very excited to announce.............I got rid of the very yucky, mean, ugly, number 2 in front of my weight. I hope to never, ever, ever see it again:happy: :love: :bigsmile: SW: 202.5 GW: 199 As for the water, I have 30 oz down so far today. I still haven't taken…

I actually do set up rewards. I have small ones....like 1 hour Bubble Bath, or Sleep in late for each number I loose that ends in 5 (5, 15, 25, etc.) I have bigger ones set up for 20, 40, 60. 20 is new shoes. 40 is a new hair style. 60 is a shopping trip with no limits (my husband came up with this idea). I do LOVE the…

Welcome to all the newbies, I am so excited to see there are so many of us all in the same place in our lives. I LOVE the idea of a weekly goal. I think we should start tomorrow when we do the weigh in and begin week 3. What should our goal be? I think we should start out with being active for 20-30 minutes a day, or only…

Congrats to both of you! I am glad that when my time comes, I will have lots of people to give me advice :smile: On the weight loss side...would someone please yell at me, shake me, and maybe hit me? We ordered pizza and wings yesterday, and I stoped at McDonalds for breakfast this morning....what is wrong with me? I need…

Angela - Keep us updated, and I hope you start feeling better soon. I have had a very crapy 2 days of eatting. My husband is trying to loose weight too, and I have found it is almost harder with him around. Yes, we do encourage each other, but I have also noticed it is very very easy to pull each other down. I had Wendy's…

Hopeful - Great Job on the weight loss. Even though you don't know the exact number, you know that you feel great and worked hard. I am a numbers person, and I know how much I need to see that number, but if you feel good and worked hard...than that should be all you need......at least until you can get out and get that…

Oh No....The pizza place caught on fire!!!! Don't you love what I am concerned most about:blushing: It sounds like you have to deal with a lot more than anyone should have to, and I can see how it make loosing weight so much harder. The postive side is that you can be THAT much more proud of yourself when you loose the…

I unfortunetly can not relate either. We aren't starting to try until June, but I wish you the best of luck, and I truely beleive it will happen when it is meant to happen. The scale was much nicer to me today. I have lost 2.0 lbs since last week. :smile: That is with some seiously hard work. I was actually hoping for a…

Oh...how exciting. I would wait until the day you are supposed to get it, and if you dont, then take a test. I totally understand though, the waiting is the toughest part. How is everyone doing with the workouts & eatting? I thought I was doing great....but the scale was NOT my friend this week. I am pretty bummed out. I…

I just have to say that I had a pretty good day today! I slept in, got in a great workout and made a very healthy lunch. I splurged a bit for dinner (garlic toast is my weakness), but I am still under but a few hundred calories with the workout included! Weekends are typically my toughest time, so I am pretty excited!

Great Job. I have been looking at the C25K for months now, and am just to scared to even try it. I think all the runners at my gym would fall off the treadmill laughing at me if they saw me try to run!! Let me know how it goes...and maybe I can get the courage up to try it.

What specific measurements are we taking? I always feel like I am "doing it wrong" so any advice would be welcome!

Hi Girls, I didn't post on the last thread, but I am also trying to loose weight before I get prego. I am really excited to see there are so many people that are trying to loose weight for the same reason. We are planning to start TTC in June, so I have just about 6 months to make as big of impact as possible. I don't know…

Hi, sorry I dropped off the face of the earth for a few days!! My husband is done with school for the semester so we took a few days to get to know each other again. For that reason, I didn't weigh in this week. I didn't want to discourage myself after a weekend of Cici's Pizza, TGI Friday's, and a huge christmas party at…

I am begining to think it is just you and I left! Maybe we should start a new group, and open it up to more people? Any thoughts? I am not trying to ruin this one, we just need more people!

Hi Ladies. Great job on the weight loss this week. I am a bit confused. I ate well pretty much all week, but the scale says I gained 2.5 lbs. I am having a very hard time believing it. I am going to give it a few days and will weigh in again. I did fly home last night (getting in around 1:30 am), and I noticed my hands…

hmm. I posted a second time yesterday, but the post is MIA:noway: Anyway, don't worry too much about not being able to work out. I really haven't worked out much for the last 4 weeks, but each week I have been pretty carefull about what I am eatting, and I have stedilly lost weight each week. Just be very carefull what you…

Where did everyone go? Did we loose half of our group? I have to confess, last night after dinner, we went to DQ, and I had a peanut butter cup blizzard. It was so totally amazing! I knew I shouldn't have it, but I really really really wanted it. Today I am having carrots and a nice healthy salad to make up for it. I need…

Stormchaser - Great Job on the 1/2 lb loss. I also lost a 1/2 lb! Limestar and razncain99 - Good job on not gaining any! Thats a big accomplishment considering the week it was! Hope everyone has a great Monday.

Hi ladies....I am very excited to say I am down 3 lbs this week:happy: I have been pretty carefull what I ate (although I did fully enjoy a trip to olive garden). I think the biggest difference is that I am on day 5 of no soda. It has been miserably hard, but I think that is what has made the difference. I am headed to NY…

The sugar content is 19g per can, but it is not refined sugar. I am not sure if that is bad or not.

ourgang - Congrats on the weightloss. Your hard work is starting to show. Thanks guys for the support. It is really funny, because I have gotten multiple comments today about how cute my skirt is. I guess it is all relative. I see the fat, but maybe they are seeing some of the beauty. If I can keep it together over the…

What a depressing sight. I bought this cute skirt last night and was so excited to wear it today. I was walking out of the bathroom at work, and caught a sight of what I look like from the back. OMG is all I have to say. I want to go home and change so badly right now. I never could have imagined looking so horrible. I am…

I am glad you both are jumping back on the wagon! We can do it girls! My motivation is I want my family to notice a difference in me between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The best christmas gift ever would be for them to say hey, have you lost weight? On a side note, I have to share a minor milestone. Today I went and got a…
