I think we should. I will start a February thread on Monday morning. We are going to get locked soon and a new thread for each month will be great. Plus I can fix 20210 to February 2010. :laugh: :laugh: Terri

4.4 is still a loss.....there are still 2 days left this month:flowerforyou:

January 1 weight 185.4 January 8 weight 185 January 15 weight 182 January 22 weight 180.6 January 29 weight 178.6 2 pounds lost this week. I am very happy with that. Hope everyone has a great Friday and an awesome weekend! Sunday is the end of the month. Have you reached you goal? If not what can you change in February to…

Thanks. With kids sometimes its hard to know what could turn into something dangerous. Hope he is doing well. I am so impressed you can workout after the kids go to bed. I put my kids to bed and go to my bed instantly.

Jenn big hugs go out to you. I am beginning unwarranted guilt is a big part of parenthood. We want them to never feel pain and when they do it hurts us too. Whatever happens you are in my prayers. I am a stress eater also and know if I were in your shoes I would be going over my calories for a few days. Take Care! Hope you…

I wish I had access to a pool more for swimming. With my kids and work schedule and the pool's open swim schedule it just does not work. I love the early morning too. When the weather is (when the snow is gone) I usually get up and go for a walk first thing in the morning, that way if I don't have time for anything else in…

I was planning to watch a tv show online but it would not load! I usually read also but need to get out and get a new book>

I am trying to replace my soda addiction with sparkling water, not the same but gets you that fizziness. I still drink a couple diet sodas a day.:drinker: :drinker:

Hi Mickie. Welcome to this great website. I did Atkins and lost about 20 pounds but then really decided Atkins was not a diet that I could follow. I did not gain back all the weight that some do when they quit Atkins , ( only about 7) but at that time I found this website. I was not faithful with my calorie counting but…

I have read some Brad Thor. Found them at the used book store and started out of order I need to get some more. I am waiting for the latest Kay Hooper book. I preordered from Amazon and it should be here Thursday or Friday! Its about a group of psychic FBI agents. They are thriller (usually serial killer) and psychics who…

Just read Lovely Bones and found it interesting and different.....I usually read Vince Flynn style books. Thanks for the thread I was just thinking about finding some different books to read>:flowerforyou:

I want to go on a shopping spree, but I am making myself wait for spring and summer clothes. Hopefully last years will be too big and I will need to get some better fitting outfits by spring. I gave myself the day off yesterday. My lower back is still sore today so time to take a break from running and its impact and get…

I tried this site once for the that I have lived in for over 4 years and found the maps outdated. The road I live on did not exist the hospital which has been on the edge of town since we have lived here was still in down town area. It probably only works for paths and roads that have been there for awhile:laugh: :laugh:

I have not given up anything I don't want to! Go out to eat just make healthier choices. Look at Red Lobster online and see what they serve that is low in calories. It is much easier if you know in advance what some good choices would be. Last weekend I was craving a caribou coffee with some extra in it. I went online and…

I don't believe we are losing ourselves but finding out who we truly are and what we can truly do. I think when we get to the end of this journey we will be better stronger people for ourselves and those around us who loves us. This is a long journey and a long journey can be achieved through small steps....start with…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :drinker:

Wow good for you! If the army is what you want, go for it! I did not know the age limit was in the 40's I thought it was the 20's. Hopefully your soon to be husband is supportive.

I don't think so. I have always heard you need to burn more than you eat to lose. What I have found that as I get in better shape my body does not burn the same amount of calories during a workout. For example when I first got the 30 Day Shred Video I was burning well over 200 calories when I did it now when I do it I am…

I love pizza and there is no way I would give it up! This is your life and you need to live it and having food in life that you enjoy is very important. Every Friday night at our house is pizza night and the only place that delivers for a decent price is Dominoes. They have a calorie calculator at their sight that you add…

Today is going to be a hard one for me! I feel like I am getting a really bad cold. I am achy and tired and very very grouchy. Days like today are the days where it is hard to stay within my calories and get exercise. I do plan to take it easy and let my body rest today. Usually my day off is Friday but I have learned to…

I lie it much better in a salad than cooked. I like to replace lettuce with spinach! (more nutrients)

The best exercise.....find an exercise you love and stick to it. If you are just starting out you will have to work up to it. If you want to run start slow. Run for 30 seconds walk for a minute and alternate till you can run for longer. I am at 180 and I mix it up all the time. I run 2-3 times a week. When I don't run I…

Do you want to last to the end of this battle? It takes time...remember it took time to get to this point. There will be times when it seems so easy and times when it feels like more work than it is worth, but this is about your well being so remember IT IS WORTH IT! YOU ARE WORTH IT. I lost 20 pounds in 3 months and then…

I had the same problem when I got a HRM. I would go on the elliptical until it said 1000 calories burned and I was so proud, then I got and HRM that I could set for me and I was only burning a little over 700 calories. I read somewhere most machines that have calorie counters are set for a 185 pound man, and men just burn…

Ready to kick your mental game up a notch? ACCEPT CHANGE AS THE NEW NORMAL. CONSIDER THAT THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE COME FROM CHANGE; MARRIAGE, A CAREER...HAVING KIDS. STEPPING OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE IS THE KEY TO GROWTH. For me this year I plan to get out of my comfort zone and take my exercise outside. Let people see me…

Saints are a football team out of New Orleans Louisiana. They are playing in the Super Bowl in a couple of weeks. The super bowl is the championship of professional football. I am guessing you are talking about soccer.

I have a picture of me at my lowest weight hiking in Oregon tacked on the fridge and a picture of a sexy dress I want to into taped to the pantry door!

Good morning all hope everyone had a great weekend! Congratulations to the Saints. I think the game last night was probably a better game than the Super Bowl will be. Now I am looking forward to Twin's Baseball. It's amazing how life can get you up and moving. Yesterday I was planning to not workout at all. Church, then…

Wow! What did you do to burn that many calories? I would eat back at least 1/2 to keep your body healthy.

My husband is training for his first marathon and he is using Hal Higdon's training book. Also google half marathon training and you will find a few different options for training!
