bumping to read later!

I wasn't sure if the newlywed "8" was a real thing but I gained it too so if I need something to blame it on it must be being a newlywed! Welcome!

I do the insanity workouts and use my HRM. The fit test I usually burn around 200 calories and the workouts usually between 350 and 400. Insanse Cardio sometimes closer to 450. It really depends on a lot of things. I got my HRM for $80.00 at Scheels and it was the best investment I've made towards fitness so far.

So I haven't started yet. This wedding planning and holiday activities killed me this weekend but I definately have to start. Today is a new day. As of tomorrow, I have 30 days until my wedding.

Ok guys, wasn't able to start last night (grocery shopping, mowing the lawn, and dog walking) but tonight is night 1 for me I promise!!!

I'm with you. I get married in 40 days and would love to at least not have bat wings for my wedding!!! Let the shredding begin!

I'm with Accountant_Boi. I kind of sort of once in a while thought about my health in my early 20's but I was kind of a rebel. I smoked :smokin: and went out to the bar scene probably twice maybe three times a week:drinker: . It wasn't until I decided to settle down with my now fiance that I decided to start taking better…

I don't have much advice for you. Every body is different but if you work hard you can definately make your ticker goal. I'm in the same boat. We got the engaged on May 8th and our Wedding is August 7th! I've already lost most of my weight though. I've still got 7lbs to lose by wedding date but good luck!!! Having a date…

The good: It's monday and I'm actually quite energized this morning. I love water with lemon slices! The bad: Had to order a new dress at the last minute for my sisters "little black dress" 30th b-day party this weekend and had to pay $14.95 in shipping and handling. The ugly: Planted grass in the backyard and the dog took…

It's alright hun. I do this frequently. I think it's called "I did well all week so one slip up won't hurt" syndrome. A great cure for it is hitting yourself in the head and saying "YES it will ruin my whole week don't do it!" If you do fall prey to this terrible syndrome side effects may be regret and dissapointment for a…

She should definately check her fiber. Make sure she is getting at least 14 grams a day. Also make sure she is drinking enough water I just went to the doctor for the same issue and found out I had some blockage. I had to take Milk of Magnesia every 6 hours for 3 days then I have to take 17g of Miralax every day for 1…

I'm not exactly the fittest person and I"m doing Insanity right now. It definately whips you into shape. I'm on week 4 and though sometimes I have to push myself to do it I definately already see results.

I have 2 nieces that are girl scouts. Of course you have to buy the same amount from each.....so we have 20 boxes coming!!! My boyfriend is a mechanic at a dealership so the shop will have plenty to go around!

Such a simple idea yet I didn't even think about it! I'll have to try this.

I've been looking for lower sodium lunch meat as well. I don't have a Sam's Club or a Trader Joe's though so if anyone knows of one at Walmart or an Albertsons you should post it!

Thanks for welcoming me slightingscale! These challenges are great!

I have heavy and painful monthly periods as well. As hard as it is to get motivated during that time I have found that working out actually eases some of the pain and cramping. It also helped my period stay a little more on track. Make sure you drink a lot of water and you can eat more during this time. Your body is…

Thank you so much I'll check it out!

I dont' want to here anyone complain about cold and snow until they have lived where I do! North Dakota! But hey, when you grow up here you just expect colder temperatures than Antartica at times!

I know they say that you can't target to lose weight from a certain area but I one of the topics on msn.com this morning was exercises to get rid of love handles. I know I'm going to check it out!

Up 2 lbs this week. It's TOM. It made me depressed to even look and I've been at the gym everyday this week at 5 AM. I dont' think I'm going to make my goal but I'll take a run at it. Thanks for the motivation everyone!

Start weight 150 1st week - 1 Current weight 149 Challenge Goal 140 I know I still have 9 lbs to lose but I was stuck at 150 for the past 10 weeks so I'm excited to lose at least 1 lb!!! I'm gonna kick it in the but though and drop those 9 lbs!!!

I'm so in. We are doing a contest at work too and I definately need the extra motivation SW:150 GW: 140

I'm soooo glad you posted these. I just picked a ton of apples from our apple trees and wanted to bake with them. This makes it so much easier!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I'm sure I would exercise more :blushing:

That's very sad. Thank you Farrah for putting up such a courageous fight against such a terrible disease.

Aerdrea, that is exactly why I am trying to get healthy is to eventually have a healthy pregnancy. I work in insurance and so every client is very important (we work off commission). So when a client brings it in like this morning all I could do was take it but thanks everyone for the suggestions! The donut was super yummy…

I agree jeffwyeg. (no nasty comments from me!)

Thanks for the laugh I needed that on a Thursday morning!:laugh: :laugh: :happy:

I haven't tried it but my sister did. She said a few of the things are fine but you have to remember its all frozen processed food. She said she really liked it during the first week but as she went on she got really tired of not having fresh food.
