Wow Jen! LOOKING GOOD!:love: Terri

Thanks for some of these great ideas. Most fitness magazines annoy me because I don't care about the latest trends in make-up or designer clothing. I want good nutrition and exercise ideas!

Good afternoon everyone! My new little guy started this morning and it has been hectic to say the least. I am sitting next to my 4 year old waiting for her to fall asleep and then maybe a few minutes of quiet time for me. I forgot how much work it is to have a little one and then 5 other toddler/preschoolers. We will see…

Most days I am proud of what my body is becoming. Some days I feel thin and sexy and some days I feel like a bloated fat thing. My body is becoming healthier and I am slowly becoming friends with where my body is at from day to day. I think if we have been looking at ourselves negatively for a long time, it will take some…

Well I am being treated for a sinus infection that was even worse because of seasonal allergies. Three days of strong antibiotics and then hopefully feeling better. I know my eating is going to be lousy this weekend because the doc said the sinus that was the most full of fluid is one that only drains into the throat.…

Good morning all! I am waiting til the clinic opens to go see a doctor. My chest hurts this morning and my sinuses are going to explode. Terrible nights sleep with 5 extra girls in the house for my daughters birthday. I have so much to do today, but may end up just resting and taking care of myself! Have a healthy day!…

I get mine in 2-3, 300-400 calorie workouts per day. I try to get in 300-400 calories before breakfast. When I take the kids outside I run and move around the yard with them. At nap time I jump on the bike and pedal until someone wakes up. After dinner I take the dog for a walk. To burn 1000+ calories a day you do not need…

April 1 weight 177.6 April 9 weight 175.4 April 16 weight 175.2 April 22 weight 173.2 Down 2 in 1 week! That has not happened in a very long time! Usually it is .5 -1. This is great! Month total thus far 4.4 only need .6 to make the 5 pound loss! (Even though I was hoping to be out of the 170's by the end of this month!…

Chalk it up as a learning experience! We are celebrating daughter's birthday tonight. I can resist the cake! I can resist the can!:laugh: :laugh: Just remember this is your new lifestyle so don't deny yourself an occasional indulgence!

Down 4.6 pounds that is wonderful! Keep doing whatever it is you are doing and you will be out of the 190's in no time!:drinker: :drinker:

:blushing: :blushing: Thank you!:blushing: :blushing: :blushing: Its been a long time since someone has said wow to one of my pictures!

4818!!!!! That better show in your weigh-in....3500 is supposed to be a pound! Cheers to you that is awesome!:drinker: :drinker:

Great job on working out everyone. I am taking it easy today because of this rotten cold. I feel a lot better now than I did first thing this morning! So maybe later I can get in a walk! Here are my workouts for the week thus far. Monday 1207 Tuesday 1038 Wednesday 628 Total thus far 2873 Between the next few days I should…

Drats it did not work!

Phyllis, Sad to hear about your knee. Follow doctor's orders so it will heal quickly. Hopefully you can find some exercise that does not put stress on your knee. I was just complaining to my husband about why getting is shape hurts so much at times. My outside hip muscles have been so sore this week. The only things I have…

The one for $2000 is like an elliptical machine on wheels you move your arms and legs like and elliptical machine and the bike moves down the road. The pumgo is similar but the one I am thinking of doesn't pedal, ( the round and round motion) it is more like a stepper..stepping back and forth to make the bike move.

Thanks everyone. Ruth thanks for the memory jog about seeing it on Biggest Loser. I went to Biggest Loser's website and found that Shay is using it and it is called a Streetstrider. Unfortunately they also cost close to $2000. Oh well I'll stay with my biking for now!

That is probably where I saw it. I can't remember which show but your description sounds corret!

Thanks, but when I looked up Rowing Bike that was it. This one you were standing upright and it kind of looked like a scooter but wider at the back where you stood to step back and forth to move the bike forward! Terri

Good afternoon to all! I had a great day yesterday, even though I have the worst cold I have had in ages. Between walking and riding the bike I burned 1200 calories. I also did very well with my eating. Today I struggled with the pizza for lunch but have already burned 357 calories from walking. I hope to get on the…

Weekends seem to be everyone's downfall. I believe for me it is because during 5 days of the week my routine is pretty much the same, and then weekends happen and we have 2 days that are totally different. It gets me out of my routine. Which messes up my eating and working out schedule. I need to work on not letting this…

I spent my Saturday sitting in a a very interesting class. Since there are so many teachers in this group I thought I would share some thoughts from the class. The class comes from a Headstart perspective but it was geared toward anyone who works with developing children. It was call I AM MOVING I AM LEARNING! I wish all…

Trying to post some photos....does anyone know how?

Happy Friday to All! First the official weigh in for the week April 1 weight 177.6 April 9 weight 175.4 April 16 weight 175.2 Only down .2 but it is a loss! I'll take it as I have had a strange week. Jenn, I have heard of the 80/20. It is probably a good plan. I am of the mindset that is I want a treat and it fits into my…

I wish we were at the weekend:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Welcome to the newcomers. Yes the month is almost half over, but we will continue this challenge again next month. I thought the same about a Fudruckers in Egypt, but I saw a story and there were American eateries on the military base in Baghdad...in the middle of a war zone so they find a way to get those places in every…

I cut it in half clean out the seeds, put it cut side down in a glass pan put in about 1/2 inch water and microwave until tender. Depending on the size, I sometimes just leave the skin and scrape the squash loose add my sauce and use the skin as my bowl.

HOPE THE INTERVIEW IS A SUCCESS!:flowerforyou:

With only 20 to lose it may take some time to see the weight come off. Yes you are probably shrinking fat and gaining muscle. I suggest taking some measurements. You may have lost inches somewhere and not weight. Maybe the thighs are a bit smaller or the biceps a bit firmer. It takes time. Hang with this group for support…

Good morning all! Thank you for all the advice on my sore muscle. I also am going to take a break from the REEBOK EASYTONES I have been wearing for the last couple weeks. I think maybe they are irritating that muscle area also. It feels better today but still sore so I plan to take it a little easier today. Yesterday I…
