Hi all. I was less than motivated to for C25K today, but nevertheless, I did it. I thought I was going to die until the voice came over my headphone and said that I was on my last cycle. I was so excited. I was never so glad to hear the words cool down in my life! I finished though and I am so proud! I hope everyone else…

Thank you ladies for your welcome. I really appreciate it!

I did Pilates after I got finished with C25K. On the days I don't do it I'm doing weight training and Zumba.

I finished W1D1 this morning. I felt great afterwards!

I am currently reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I am considering whether to teaching it in the fall or not.

Hi. I'm new to the group and saw this topic so decided to read comments. Personally, I just wanted to read the books to see what all hype was about. Aside from the sexual nature, I thought it was a pretty good book. I've read better and I've read worse. The writing style is very good. It is apparent that the author has a…

Hi. I'm new to the group. I am 41, will be 42 in September. I've been trying to lose 50+ pounds by my birthday but that didn't work. I've re-assessed and have set a new goal for the new year to have me weight gone. Add me as a friend if you'd like. One can never have enough support!

I am going to join the group. I've been half-*kitten* trying C25K all this summer. I can't seem to get past week 1. Some days running 1 whole minute is easy and other days it's a killer and I have to skip a run cycle just to catch my breath. Maybe the group can help me break through!

There is a really good website that was recommended to me - scoobysworkshop.com - that explains it all. Plug in your weight, gender, and age and it tells you what your BMR is, what your TDEE (maintenance) and how many calories to eat to lose weight. I just looked at it a couple of days ago when I got frustrated with…

My friend and I went to see it. I'm not into the whole male stripper thing, but Tatum Channing and Matthew M. shirtless, who could go wrong? My friend and I laughed through the whole movie. It's actually pretty good. It's a "semi-love" story. And it's got some good eye candy in it. What's there not to like?!

I don't have any before pics. I won't allow them. Maybe when I get down to your before picture I'll allow it. You look amazing, btw. My ultimate goal is to get down to 120ish. First, I have to get to 180, then 170, and so on. Congrats to you though!

I bought the videos and they were ok. I didn't like some of the dancers on it. Too much prissing around for me. I bought the 1st Zumba for Wii and it was ok. I didn't like that the levels were locked. I bought Zumba 2 for Wii and love it. You can do a single song, a half class, or a whole class, and can change intensity…

Hi Brenda from Texarkana. I'm Heather from Longview. We are practically neighbors! Add me if you'd like.

I am completely there with you! I don't live with mine, but when I go visit they want to go out to eat at the worst possible restaurants for healthy eating, they scoff at me when I bring protein powder for meals, and they just get angry when I don't eat the portions that they put on my plate. At your age it is difficult.…

I'm 41 and from east Texas. There are a lot of Southerns here!

Haha, I am a weighing addict too! It is just part of my daily routine. If I don't do it I get out of the habit and then get mad at myself when I finally do get the nerve to step on the beast. I probably be need to post a sign on my bathroom mirror "No weigh ins until Monday!" or something like that. I probably would just…

Hi all. I am probably going to add all of you. I'm on everyday. I went through a slump after I hurt my shoulder and wasn't very active, but I'm been active again and need all the support I can get. Thanks!

Hi Emily. I'm Heather. I'm about 60 pounds overweight too. Friend me if you'd like and maybe we can support each other. Have a good day.
