Add me! I want to lose 20 pounds, but I know that I should lose 30 + to be at a proper BMI. Maybe we can help motivate each other!

At work we had little healthy challenges. Those helped me get started. They started out simple, like try 3 new fruits and vegetables this week. That way the picky eaters broadened their horizons. For me that was hard because I will pretty much eat anything, and I live in a small town so finding new things at the grocery…

This might sound silly, but find two fence boards. One that is as high as you can put your foot, and one that you can pretend is a saddle horn, and practice. When it starts getting easier to haul yourself up, just one legged, then practice swinging that leg over. While you might not want to get on your horse from the…

Swimming is awesome. I would say swim until you are tired, then work on building up endurance or a faster time. The only time in my life I didn't have a weight problem is when I was on swim team... swimming 5 days a week.

I am gearing up for a fetch session, tried to find it on mfp, no go, then decided to trust google. I am visiting family so this isn't a regular activity for me. This is a once in a while fun activity, so I am going to count it. If I get my own dog, I would count walking the dog... so why not count playing with Star and…

Whinnies!

Wow way to go you look great! I love the new definition in your waist! With this type of progress you are going to meet your fitness goals. =D

It all depends on the horse. I have a little mare that could carry me plus a saddle no problem, I also have a gelding a little bigger that could do the same. Then my love Nik, he is 26, he can't carry me and a saddle. Well he will, but it hurts him so I don't ride him. My goal is to ride the tar out of the little ones, and…

I am about to start boarding my mare for $250 a month. I am pretty sure they do everything, but the girl gets fat on air as long as she has access to pasture. I am hoping to get her finally finished there... she thinks bucking is a part of warming up after the round pen. The last place I was lucky enough to board was all…

I will join. I want to loose 6-11 lbs. I think 6 is more realistic for how slowly I lost the last 9 lbs, but if I get to my goal weight by then... that would be awesome!

I didn't buy jeans until mine were falling apart or off. And then I bought two pairs. As for shirts, if it looked good loose I tried a smaller size, if it still looked okay, I bought it, knowing hey at least it will still look good when I lose! I found myself buying a shirt or two once every two weeks. As for jeans I just…

I know the feeling. My journey is further along... I am 2 lbs from no longer being obese, and then after that another 19 or so I will no longer be overweight. I think people don't see it, because I think we see obese as morbidly obese and forget that there are all kinds of in between. There is also the perspective of your…

I think it is fairly common to use anti sezuire drugs for bipolar disorder.

A bowl of vegetable soup. About 200 calories for this huge bowl of broth and veggies. I can live with that!

I just got back from a 5 day vacation out of state. Wow! No shred while I was there, but we visited a different park every day! So tons of walking, some fall leaves changing color, beautiful weather, and I am now happily back home. =) Well I wish I was still there, but it gave me the recharge I needed. You know when life…

I spend maybe $400 a month on myself. The one thing I rarely deny myself is food. However I eat a car payment every month. So I am trying to cut it down. Things I get that I know are expensive: Sandwich Rounds String Cheese Chobani Yogurt Oroweat Sandwich Rounds Pacific Foods Organic Tomato Soup (If you look at cost per…

I like doing things like both recipes mentioned... accept wrap it in a foil packet with the liquid and a raw chicken breast and bake in the oven in a pan. Yummy!

I have fallen off the wagon, but I am not going to beat myself up over it. I can see my body changing. So I will do Jillian when I can, use my elliptical, eat right, and try not to sweat the little things! I am glad to see everyone else progressing though. Try this link for lvl 2? I saw they took down the one youtube one i…

Visiting family blew my shred off course. Tomorrow I will get back on track.

I loved the book and the movie. It was beautiful. I like the idea of squats. I do several types in 30 day shred. I need to practice more lunges, I lose my balance on those! Okay I can do a squat per day challenge. Even if I just do 10 a day all month that will be a good thing. =) I like to squat and then when standing up…

LVL1 Day 4 I think my rest day did me good. I was happy to get my shred back on!
-
9/5 - 1 elliptical Total: 5 miles Left to go: 25 miles Hmm I should be at 10 miles in 3 days, I am betting this is going to be another month where I get to the half way point and am less than 1/3 of the way there and decide to get serious.
-
Today is my rest day. Why? I just got home, 4 hours after work ends, and about 30 minutes before my bed time. Although I did walk through the brush country today picking cactus to turn into jelly!
-
9/5 - 2.25 elliptical & .75 nature hike 3 miles today Total: 4 miles Left to go: 26 miles!

I don't know about stronger, but less fatigued. I can feel my muscles, and they are saying ouch! However I am not as out of breath as I was the first day! Day 3 of lvl 1 is done! I may do day 4 tomorrow or take my rest day. Either way I am getting there! I hate jump rope! lol that is the one that hurts the most. =)
