Hi everyone! I had a tooth pulled last week and that really gave me a set back on my workouts:sad: then I had the in-laws visiting from Texas for the holiday weekend. Now, I'm having a hard time getting motivated again. The good news is that I started playing softball on a summer co-ed league and we play a double-header…

Hey everybody! Welcome to all the new members! I just wanted to check in and let you all know that I have not dropped off the face of the earth! I had a really rough week last week, and had in-laws in town visiting over the holiday weekend! Needless to say, I didn't get any workouts in and now I am finding it hard to get…

Ice cream, Ice cream, and more Ice cream:heart: :heart: !!! My parents (who both happen to be overweight) used to eat a bowl of ice cream every night after dinner. Needless to say, since I was an only child, I too got to enjoy a bowl EVERY night! Now, I find that temptation and ritual hard to ignore. :sad: I'm not so sure…

I feel your pain!! Ice cream is my weakness and I've had 3 servings this week. Luckily I found the Blue Bunny sugar free varities so it's not "as bad" on my calorie count! :sad:

Checking in with LBJ last night! I tried to get FB in there too, but was way too exhausted from LBJ! My mind and body keep telling me that I'm too tired to exercise, but I'm trying to push through all that! :ohwell: Oh well, wish me luck!! :heart:

I have been interested in the Couch to 5K program as well. I find that my body responds best when I alternate between a "wogg" (walk/jogg) and Turbo Jam 5 days per week. I have found that after 4 weeks of alternating these, I am now able to run for longer distances and longer times. Anyways....long story short....the…

I agree! My husband says I'm crazy for seeing it that way...but I know he will come around soon and start exercising with me! :love:

Way to go!! :drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker:

So, I just have to brag for a few minutes! I did my regular 2.7 miles last night, but I cut my time down by 10 minutes!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: On Sunday I did the same route in 40 minutes, but last night I decided to push myself and "wogg" it and I did it in 30 minutes!!! WooooooHooooo!!!

Thanks stratdl! You're super smart! It's been a while since I've had any math classes, and my kids aren't old enough to help me out on these things yet! HAHAHA! :tongue:

Hi everyone! I just got done with my 15 minute walk at work! I am going to walk again tonight at home after it cools off! :glasses: It's hot here in Florida!!!! I have a question that will probably make me look really dumb! Hehe! How do you figure your mph? It usually takes me 40 minutes to walk 2.7 miles. I am trying to…

I work for the Department of Health, and our WIC (Women, Infants & Children) Program advises parents to give their children whole milk until they reach 2 years of age because young children need extra calories for their growing bodies. After age 2, they recommend that everyone drinks Skim Milk or 1% Milk because it has the…

Thanks Dragonfly11 & ccfett! I was really bumed last night because it was the first night that I haven't worked out since I started (other than my "days off"):cry: . I am going to take a nice walk with my kids tonight and then start back at TJ fresh on Thursday! Dragonfly11 - I too work out on a throw rug, so maybe I'll…

I have only been on this journey for 4 weeks. I must admit that I did not want to take a "before" picture but now that I see these it makes me wonder if there is truly a "visible" difference after 7lbs! I wish now that I had taken a "before" shot. So guess what I'm doing when I get home....taking a picture of myself so I…

Good Morning Everyone! So, I tried doing CP2 last night, but couldn't make it all the way through. I often do not have time to do my workouts until 9:00 or 10:00 at night. I haven't had any problems with this the last 3 weeks, but here lately I have been really tired :yawn: . Anyways, I made it about 25 minutes and noticed…

Sounds yummy!

Logging in for today! I did LBJ and Fat Blaster last night. My 6 year old (who also loves to do TJ with me) is begging me to do PKJ, so we might give that one a try tonight! BTW - I returned those size 14 jeans to the store on Saturday and ended up buying a size 11/12! Who knew 8 lbs. could make such a difference! :noway:

Hi everybody! Checking in with CP3 last night! I weigh myself on Fridays and I am down another 2 lbs. this week!! :bigsmile: :love: :bigsmile:

Saturday - I will do at least 40 mins. walking/jogging Sunday - I will do at least 40 mins. walking/jogging I also did Turbo Jam workouts this week as well. Monday - 45 mins.

Cindy, Thanks for the help! It worked!

Hey Cindy, How do you update your walking ticker? I just added mine and I can't figure out how to update it with my new miles? Thanks!

Hi everyone! Just checking in my miles from yesterday. I walked 1.5 miles in 35 mintues. I know that sounds really slow, but I had my 18 month old in tow, and she insisted on walking, then pushing the stroller, then riding on my shoulders, then stopping to pick flowers, and oh yeah...me spinning in circles while carrying…

Congrats! I can't wait until I reach my first 10 (only 4 lbs to go!) Keep up the great work!! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

Spunkie....I think you're a KEEPER!! :love: I will be praying for your foot to heal quickly. Until then, just focus on swimming. I hear it's great exercise for people who have joint problems, and you don't even realize how many calories you're actually burning. Keep us posted on your healing process! :flowerforyou:

If you love cheesecake...try these! They are super Yummo and the kiddos even liked them! 1 (8 oz.) Package Fat Free Cream Cheese, softened 1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar 2 teaspoons Lemon Juice 44 Medium Strawberries, whole 1/2 Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs In a small mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice…

I like to eat the Quaker Mini Delights White Chocolatey Drizzle snack packs (only 90 calories). Yummo! You can also try chewing a piece of gum. I sometimes find that my mouth just wants to be busy! :tongue:

I too joined this site to lose my "baby weight"! I love it and so far I have lost 6 lbs. in 2 1/2 weeks. Good luck on your journey!! :flowerforyou:

I love Fat Blaster, that is what I started out doing. Just be prepared to break a sweat though. I have tried the CP3, but quickly found that I'm not coordinated enough for that yet. So, I bumped down to CP2 and I seem to be having a much easier time with that one. Right now I alternate nights between CP2 and Fat Blaster/3T.

I pack both breakfast and lunch for work everyday! Here's a typical day for me Breakfast - 1 Multigrain English Muffin with 1 slice American Cheese (put it into the microwave for 15 seconds to melt the cheese and it tastes just like a cheese biscut) Yum! Lunch - Weight Watchers Smart Ones Meal 1/2 cup grapes (halved) and 2…

Visit a nearby grocery store and stock up on small quantities of fruits and veggies that you can keep in the fridge!
