I feel for you. I am getting married in 4.5 months (eeek, time is flying & still so much to do). I too would like to lose between 15-25 lbs. before the big day! Add me if you would like; we can use each other to keep pushing through, hopefully reach our goals & be confident with ourselves on our wedding days.

It is said you can "sweat out a cold", but be careful on what you decide to do for you workout. I had a head/sinus cold the past weekend and felt well enough to workout by Tuesday. Went for a light run (usually do 4-6 miles), but by 3 miles I was breathing REALLY heavy and feeling light headed. Guess I wasn't as well as I…

Would love to join if there are still spots!!!

1) 20's 2) 155 3) PA 4) moderate 5) 3-5 days/week 6) Yes. Most days, sometimes gets skipped on weekends 6) Usually dinner 7) 4 8) at least a gallon during the week. Less on weekends 9) Avoidance or distraction (exercise mostly), but sometimes they fail :blushing: 10) grilled chicken or steak and veggies (I ask for no…

Such an inspirational story. We all have our down moments, events, people, etc., and it can be very easy to blame those things for our own lack of self control and motivation. I am sorry to hear of all the heart ache you have had to endure, but honey, it looks like you have used all of that to push you forward and come out…

If I'm being honest I started out with my goal being fashion. After being at it and yo-yoing for years it has become more about fitness, and how much better I feel (both in & out of clothes) when I stay on track. It is no longer a journey I am taking for others, but for myself (& a little bit for my fiancé! :blushing: )

I know the feeling. I am an emotional eater. Admitting that is a huge help by the way. Most of the time now when I want to reach for the chips, cake, anything, I say you are not hungry you are upset. Sometimes it works and I find other ways of coping, but I still have times that I will be upset and "eating about it". I'll…

Start small and work your way up. Try going for a walk, a bike ride, doing whatever active things you enjoy. I usually find that on days I am more active I make better food choices too. Best of luck, you can do this.

Hi, I'm relatively new to the biking world (most of my biking was done during my childhood), but I enjoy taking short trail rides around my house & am just starting to get into spinning. This group sounds like tons of fun and hopefully will keep me on track/motivated to stick with it. I'm going to be optimistic and set…

5.8 miles bike ride Saturday morning!

Thank you for the concern. She is doing much better today. They said she had passed out due toa combination of dehydration & heat exhaustion, thankfully all tests for stroke and heart attack came back normal! Hope you have a fantastic and active weekend!!

Spinning class = 21 miles. Yippeeee!

Ok I am officially a horrible long-distance workout buddy. I skipped my AM workout & then my BF's mom collapsed at work & we spend the whole evening (till 1am) at the hospital with her. So 0 miles for yesterday. I plan on going to spinning this evening so hope to log at least 20 miles & load of cals. I promise I'll be a…

I like #3. Whoever wants to continue to track on the spreadsheet can be responsible for themselves...sounds good to me!

:yawn: Sadly I must admit I hit snooze this morning & slept through what was suppose to be my 30 minutes of interval on the elliptical Hoping to make up for it a little bit after work.

You are killing it!!! Great work. I was curled up on the couch with a horrible migraine most of yesterday...blah. But our puppy has officially graduated from her kennel, so I'm hoping starting this weekend I can get a lot more miles in with being able to go to the gym right after work & not having to come straight home to…

GOALS: 200 squats (throughout the whole week) & I'm going to go for 20 miles!! Monday = 30 DS = .5 miles (19.5 to go) & no squats so far. I'll get on that tonight! Tues - Only got 1.5 miles in :( & no squats AGAIN. Wed - slept through my supposed to be elliptical time (bad sinus headache the past 2 days isn't helping) but…

Looks like we're the only two in for the challanges!! What do you think about doing # of miles next week & maybe a squat, push up, or plank challenge as well? I'm going to try to start Jillian Micheals 30 Day shred in the AM's starting Monday, so we could maybe calculate her videos (30 DS, Ripped, etc.) in as 0.5-1…

Mon 8/12 = 31 minutes on the elliptical (I have a cheapy one so it doesn't give you calories) approx. 300 calories Tues 8/13 = Bocce Night (2 hours but not moving the whole time so i'll log it as an hour) approx. 250 cals. Wed 8/14 - LAZY DAY :( Did some running around in the yard with the puppies for about 20 mintues but…
