Dito - it feels great that my boobs stick out further than my tummy! :bigsmile:

It does sound like you've hit a plateau - try changing up your routine a bit. Have you revisited your goals and reassessed your calorie intake after losing 21 pounds. That's a significant amount of weight. Losing weight is a journey of making lifestyle changes and you may not always see the number on the scale that you…

I think it sounds like you're right on for what your body needs. Some days you are hungrier, so you go with it. Others - not so much, so you don't keep eating when you're not hungry. Makes perfect sense to me. I would be more focused on what you know your body needs instead of the numbers. :flowerforyou:

Thank you all for the advice. I bought some inserts for my shoes last night and I noticed that they helped a little just with walking (I didn't workout yet) I have also been doing the alphabet exercise which is summarized here: This is a simple but effective drill for strengthen all of your lower leg muscles. This is drill…

:heart: I know Jill! :wink: I need to get through this shin thing and hopefully having you on my team will help encourage me to make it to the finish line. :happy:

I bet! :laugh: :wink:

Naked - first thing in the morning! :bigsmile:

It is a burning pain - but I'd say that it starts about half way between my ankle and my knee and goes down to my ankle. Sound like a shin splint?

bumping for later

Jill - I find you everywhere! :tongue: I'd like to join on in with you guys. I didn't start yesterday (didn't find you guys until today) but I too am a fellow Slim in 6er who has not completed the full 6 weeks and would like the encouragement to get through this time. I am going to follow Jill's suggestion and do S&6 pack,…

You look awesome! :flowerforyou:

Hi Nichole and welcome to the site. You are going to fall in love with it here! :love: I second the previous post in saying it really, REALLY helps to log your food before you eat it. It holds me more accountable and takes the guessing work out of "what am I going to eat" which can lead to bad choices, binge eating (my…

That is an AWESOME accomplishment! :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

You caught my eye on this one - I've been noticing the same thing going on but I'm not sure why. I'll do some research and try and provide an update on my findings (assuming I have some) :wink:

I would love to join in on this challenge. When are we starting?

I'm in too. I didn't work out yesterday but hopefully can squeeze in 30 day shred...the next few days are going to be pretty rough! :frown:

:heart: Wow Steph - thanks for sharing! You look amazing - I am SOOO proud of you. You are truly an inspiration for the method you have used to lose weight - nothing fancy, just the good old eating healthy and working out. :flowerforyou: You look fabulous! :love:

Last week's weight - 162 CW: 160.6 :bigsmile:

Tam - you are awesome and as always, I love reading your posts and continue find you are truly inspiring! :flowerforyou: :heart:

:flowerforyou: Awe - big hugs to you Angela! Hang in there!

Angela - how are you feeling overall? Is the cold/other issue getting better? There were tons of things that I couldn't tolerate when I was pregnant, so just bare with it!

Good morning ladies! I am down to 164 this morning - so that's a loss of 1.6 since last week. Hope everyone is having a good day! I think this week's challenge is great! I drank at least 80 oz of water yesterday. I've been working so much everything is blurring together. I can't keep anything straight!

Angela - that is so exciting. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you and the baby nothing but the best! I am not going through the treatment now. We are taking an indefinite break. I have endometriosis and PCOS among a few other issues and then my hubby has problems as well. So to actually answer your question,…

Angela - I wouldn't worry about your weigh-in! What's most important is a healthy pregnancy. :heart: When is your first dr's appt with the OB? I like your idea about the challenges. That way we will have a variety of challenges and different input. I'm excited for tomorrow's weigh-in. I started my period the day after…

I've lost touch with you guys - I need to do a better job following you guys when you start a new thread! I think the challenge idea is great Angela! Now that I've posted I'll get caught up on what's going on and hop back into the conversation! :flowerforyou:

Heidi - join on in! We have a group that we chat in all the time (A New Me) and we started this thread to keep up on the weekends (no one is on as much)

Hi there everyone. I hope everyone is having a great Monday! Happy MLK day today! I am still doing RIU and I always do Slim and Limber prior to my workout. I find that I don't get sore doing it in that order! I'm going to take Jill's suggestion to add 6-pack before my workouts 3 days per week. I am working crazy hours…

:flowerforyou: Good for you Katie L - I am SOOOO proud of you! I pretty much got back on track myself yesterday, but have decided that I am making good decisions today. Have a great day! See you on the other thread! Kathy - hopefully you didn't eat too much ice cream. :ohwell:
