Wow Jessecpowers, 50 pounds while we have been together, really really great!! So we have been socked in with snow today so instead of walking I shoveled snow for 2 hours. I think that is supposed to count for 12 miles but I wasn't quite that vigorous so I am going with 6 miles today. Other days in my "marathon": Thursday…

I have concluded that you, Tammie, are a Biggest Loser Machine! Wow, those workouts. So I am thinking how do I personally with my abilities accomplish a marathon? We have until what time on Tuesday to complete the "26.2 miles"? I just am trying to figure out in my schedule how to do it.

Hi All, I think for the challenge I was supposed report a couple of things. I walked a 5K on Sunday morning, I did something for myself - bought new exercise clothes and new bras, and I am most proud of in the journey that everyday I have more motivation and energy (I was feeling old, tired and exhausted all the time).…

I have had a tough week mentally with my journey, just keeping on. I have had a lot of stress this week but then have also been really down on myself so that doesn't help. Last night I went to Lane Bryant and bought myself some nice exercise clothing. I usually workout in baggy black pants and an old t-shirt. Last night I…

Okay this is terrible, but I didn't even know Biggest Loser was on last night, I didn't think to watch it!! Wow where am I!?! I started teaching a J-term course to today. I teach one class for 3 hours every week day for the month of January. It is a lot of material to come up with every day so my stress level is pretty…

Tammie, So you have had some highs and lows this week - good news for you, tough decisions about your mom. We had to decide a similar thing for my mom about 2 years ago and when she passed away, it was both sad and happy (that she didn't have to suffer so terribly anymore). Doesn't change how difficult these things are and…

Tammie, Wow you have a lot going on these days! Thinking and praying for you and your mom - could you give us an update? Joy

Okay, unconventional: Raked leaves and moved flower pots for 2 hours, went on Saturday to the building I work in and did stairs for 20 minutes, Sunday, I moved 20 boxes for Christmas stuff up from the basement, today I shoveled our driveway and two of the neighbors driveways which took me an hour and a half. I did do some…

I am wondering if walking lots of miles Black Friday counts as exercise?!! Anyway, I walked an hour yesterday and it was COLD outside!!

Okay, so when I read the challenge I thought, how hard can that be? For me it was really hard. I haven't done a lot of exercise except walking so it was good to see I could do it. So I alternated in sets doing each grouping two times for a total of 30 points: 8 points; Run Plank Run Girl Pushups 8 points: Run Squats Run…

I think both menus are awesome. My vote might lean more towards menu 2, and maybe consider adding the Cauliflower "rice".

My thoughts on the submission for a dinner menu: I think we should have a theme such as comfort food or kid friendly or quick and easy or recipes for working women (crockpot/make ahead). Anyway just my thoughts as it seemed like some of the recipes you all submitted already worked in these categories. I have a dessert…

Okay I had a couple of total eye openers this weekend. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I kept on track no treats. Friday night the parents all took their daughters to Dairy Queen after their basketball game and I thought, well how bad could a Buster Bar be - I'll have that. 440 calories I discovered after the fact - it…

I lost 1.2 this week. I did the optional challenge and the 100 crunches.

Just looked through your profile pics - you have done an amazing amount of work - great job!

Well, I guess I am one of the last to check in. The kids are out trick or treating or hanging out with friends (teenagers) and I finally getting a chance to sit down. I usually on do walking and crunches and push ups so I guess the auction thing doesn't really work for me. But the walking challenge does - so I did that! I…

I am always impressed with how much some of you are working out!! I completed the dice challenge, in theory it sounded fun, in reality I ended up doing 120 squats, it felt a little unlucky!! I guess it is not a very good indicator of what might happen in Vegas if I went. I am doing my water challenge today (I had forgotten…
-
Wow some of you put in some pretty intense workouts this week!! That is definitely challenging to me!! GREAT work! WOW! I haven't really done much more than walking in the past so this is impressive to me!

The Why? I could say my family, better clothes, more energy, better for me knees, sleep better, and all of those are definitely reasons why I want to lose weight. But overall, I want to stop being disappointed in myself. Each day I want to feel good about myself, that I took good care of myself by eating well, getting…

I know a lot of athletes, especially runners use something called Body Glide, The Original Anti-Chafe balm. It comes in what looks a deodarant case and I bought it our local sporting goods store. It works really well and isn't greasy. I hope that helps and good luck with the goals!!!

DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED AND DO NOT QUIT!!! The first two weeks I lost a half a pound. The last three I have lost 6. I just reminded myself that the pain of self-discispline is far less than the pain of regret. It is far better to be doing something than nothing!! So keep doing the right thing and it will work!! I also…
