I started at 143, and I'm looking to be at 125-130 range and I'm 5'6"......I need some new friends on here-I'll be sending requests,,

I'm working with a personal trainer for the first time ever & I'm really enjoying it.....but.....she keeps telling me that I need to stop drinking-that I should have one small (6oz) glass of wine for the weekend! Needless to say, I just keep telling her that it's not gonna happen....I'll just have to compensate in some…

Jillian Michaels DVDs or Exercise TV only take about 20-30 mins each & are awesome!

Sounds great! I'm making this on Friday! Thanks

These are the only measurments I could get....gym was a mob scene last night! Bust: 37" Waist 34" Hips 37"

I'll add my measurments tonight too......looking forward to this!

Ay yi yi....I'm exhausted! :ohwell: Wedding Friday night, Halloween party Saturday night....I think I've been either intoxicated or hungover for the past 3 days! Didn't exercise a bit last week, but I am dragging my tired *kitten* to the gym every night-I have another wedding this Friday night, so I really need to push…

Bump!

Am I still welcome if I don't want to abstain???? Hope so.... I'm good with doing great all week & allowing myself the weekend...maybe I'll try to abstain later on but for now.......not the plan! :laugh:

In my Zumba experience, I was trying so hard to keep up with the moves, I didn't have time to worry about what others were doing!! It's so much fun, and you really get a good workout! Just enjoy it......hope you love it!!

Hey.....I'm a first time poster on this thread-but I'm so happy that I found you! How wrong is it that I completely refuse to limit my drinking for weight loss??? I don't drink every night (usually) but I thoroughly enjoy it on weekends! I'm so good with logging everything in & watching all week, but the weekends are…

I've never heard of it....and I've lived in America my whole life!! :laugh: I think you're better off with some exercise & a healthy diet....best of luck!

I just did it last night On Demand...do they have more than the day 1 workout?

Awesome! Congratulations to everyone who reached their goals!!

I thought I remembered being told that coffee & tea are counted as water.....however, I'm not logging either as water here-I drink plenty of water as it is. As well as we're talking liquids-I have been using the database to log my morning coffee from Dunkin Donuts-its counting a Large coffee with milk & one sugar as 160…

Welcome! I'm fairly new to the site too, and very new at tracking calories! The site's been so helpful,and anytime I have a question posted-I get answers so quickly! Feel free to add me as a friend as well....

Okay-that's just what I needed to hear! I'll keep at it-thanks!

I started the program on 8/14, and am now on W7D2! I can't even believe that when I started, I could barely make the 60 second runs, and now I am running for 25 minutes straight! I repeated days/weeks when I felt that I needed to, and sometimes had to walk through some runs but I did it! For years, I've watched runners…

I'm im week 7 of couch to 5k...I went from huffing & puffing after 60 seconds of running, to now being able to run for 25 minutes straight! Give it a try-you can run at your own pace, but they strongly suggest running slower to build up your endurance...if you ran previously, the speed will come back ( I would…

Great post! Very informative....thanks

Right...my bad! I adjusted my weight loss goals and now both my BMR & calories are 1308. Now I just have to work on eating more....... thanks everyone

the muffin top is my worst nightmare!!! Congratulations on losing yours!! You look great!

Ok..I think I found my answer...I'll adjust my weight loss goals ( I originally wanted to lose 2lbs/week). As I've said, this is my very first time counting calories and exercising ( I'm on week 6 of c25k). Thank you all so much for the info-I bought some peanuts to snack on this afternoon, and added chicken to my regular…

thanks....I'm not starving myself at all..just eating what I normally would-but I've never counted calories before. I will have to bump it up! Is it strange that my BMR is LESS than my allotted calories though?

I'm in week 6 of c25k. I've been running outside, but just joined a gym with treadmills since it's now dark out when I get home from work. I realized that women on both sides of me were power walking at about the same pace as I ran! I would definitely talk to your Dr and maybe start with walking. The program is awesome by…

Hi all.. I'm 5'7" and weighing in at 143 when I joined 4 days ago....I have always been in the 125ish range, but my weight jumped when I turned 40...I'm glad I found this site, I've never dieted or exercised before! I started C25k this summer, and am about to start week 6 (I took my time & repeated days when I needed to).…
