I am still hanging in. I am coughing really bad and have been pretty tired but all-in-all I feel better than I did. Its also TOM so I'm just feeling fat and bloaty from that. I overindulged in ice cream this week so I am not expecting a loss tomorrow. Yesterday, I worked out pretty hard but not for as long as I wanted to…

I've been doing slim in 6 for awhile now but I haven't ever done the 6 week program. I thought I had RIU mastered and tried to do BIU for the 1st time today. IT DID NOT GO WELL! I am really excited though. I can't wait until I can make it through! I was considering starting the program today. Maybe if someone else is doing…

I went to the doctor and they gave me antibiotics for a sinus infection. Since I've been on them I have been coughing my head off and now my nose is stuffed up. I guess all that gunk was stuck in there and the antibiotic is clearing it out? It is also TOM and I am crampy and bloated and craving ice cream! I have been…

June 1: 162 July 1: 156 July 9: 155 smile July 16: 152 :bigsmile: YAY!!!!

I'm starting to feel a little better. My stomach has not been good all week! I only worked out 4 days instead of my usual 5 but when i did I got in pretty good workouts. I have been peeking at the scale this week and hoping my number stays the same for weigh-in tomorrow. I'm ready for my ticker to move...its been a couple…

I have been feeling yucky still. :sick: I have been eating okay and getting in good workouts, though! I feel smaller this week. I haven't lost any lbs. really for the last 2 weeks (been hovering between 154.8 and 156). I have been working out more, I guess. I don't know but I feel smaller! I have a waist again...and its…

June 1: 162 July 1: 156 July 9: 155 :smile: I haven't felt very well today so I just kinda lounged around. I did want to check in here since I actually weighed in yesterday. Hopefully, I will feel better tomorrow and get in a great workout.

Today has been ok. I did a 50 sec sprint and my Slim & Limber DVD. Today is my rest day but I was pretty sore so I did the stretching video. It barely burns any calories but it is a good stretch! I am not thinking that I have lost any weight this week either. I guess I will see in the morning. Its been pretty quiet around…

Today was killer! I started out on treadmill and did half hour weight loss walk, then I did Slim in 6- Ramp it up, then got back on the treadmill for my sprint (50 sec) and to finish out my 1.5 hrs. HRM said I burned 575 calories! :bigsmile: I also made a low-calorie pork chop dinner that had ranch seasoning and low-sodium…

Bru- was wondering if chasing my daughter and swimming with her counts as the 1.5 hrs? I was active but not swimming laps or anything. I didn't get my jog in yesterday so I jogged for 1 min today. :tongue: Had a fun day at the pool! I think I am sunburnt, tho. Should have worked out this morning but I ran out of time. I…

I didn't do well with my eating at the cookout yesterday, but I was very busy and probably sweated off more calories than I think. It could have been worse! :wink: :laugh: Bru- I will try to do the challenge this week. Does this challenge run from Mon-Sun? I have no idea how I am gonna work out for 1.5 hrs 2x this week but…

Happy Independence Day to all those in the U.S.! I am struggling! I am doing great with the exercise and pushing myself harder, but I am having a hard time controlling my eating. It is so hot and the ice cream taunts me with its deliciousness! I have got to watch what I put in my mouth! We are having some friends over for…

June 1: 162 July 1: 156 Ok, so I lost 6 lbs. in June so I should be happy, right? I'm not because last weekend was terrible and I gained a lb. :sad: Oh well, I will just have to work a little harder this month. I'm ready to kick butt! Terri- Great tips! Thanks for sharing! I need to get a stability ball.

I am not going to weigh in until Friday, as that is my weigh-in day. I know that I lost the 5 pounds for this month but I was really hoping for more! The last few day my eating has been good and my workouts GREAT! Been chugging water like a champ, too. I feel like I am retaining water, anyway. I FINALLY feel better after…

Ok, so I did end up working out yesterday but it didn't matter because I ate like crap!!! I didn't sleep well last night and I still don't feel good today! I got in a great workout this morning and plan on picking it up for the rest of the week. I REALLY want to start July out at 155! Jenn- I would be pissed at that…

Most of yesterday went well until DF talked me into drinking. I, of course, drank too much and ended up sick. :drinker: :sick: I get sick every time I drink. I think it must be due to the medication I am on. Hungover this morning and debating on whether or not I am going to workout. I think I should but I don't want to!…

June 1: 162 June 4: 160.2 June 11: 158.2 June 19: 158.2 grumble June 25: 154.8 :flowerforyou: :drinker: :bigsmile: :happy: I am sooooo happy with my weigh-in this week! I don't think I've been less than 150 my whole adult life and I am getting pretty close! I totally met my goal before the end of the month. I'm ecstatic!!!…

I have been doing really well since Monday. I really want to be at 155 by the end of the month. I don't know if I can do it but as long as I don't let the weekend ruin my eating I should be able to. That is a pretty high expectation for me so if I can do this I will be doing a happy dance! :laugh: Jenn- so glad you are…

My weekend has been sooo busy! I didn't even check in to MFP yesterday. That NEVER happens! We had people over for dinner yesterday so I spent Friday and 1/2 of Sat cleaning, then entertaining. The food was good, tho. DF grilled BBQ chicken, mushrooms, squash, zucchini, onions, grape tomatoes, and corn. I also made a…

June 1: 162 June 4: 160.2 June 11: 158.2 June 19: 158.2 :grumble: It's TOM so hopefully I am just retaining water. Maybe I'll have a BIG drop next week Here's hoping...

I usually don't eat after dinner. Sometimes, if I have any calories left I will have a Skinny Cow single serving ice cream cup. I love these and it takes care of my sweet tooth. Most of the time I don't have any calories left. :frown: I am in Indiana. Anyone live close to me???

Today, has been okay. My workout was good but didn't burn as many calories as I had hoped I would. My back is killing me tonight! Stupid AF! My diet is back on track and I'm hoping for something good on Friday. DF has the next 5 days off so I'm hoping this doesn't influence my plans. I really :heart: my new HRM. I got the…

Mak- It's totally up to you when you weigh in. It's TOM here too and I am going to weigh in. I am extremely bloated! Hoping by Friday that much of that will go away. If not, I should expect a larger loss the next week. If you think the number on that scale will set you back, then don't weigh. We are pretty informal here so…

6152+29= 6181!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Happy Monday! My weekend wasn't great. Too much food at baby showers and a graduation party. I did get exercise in each day and I can feel it. AF is 6 days late but i don't think I'm preggo. Been PMS'ing for a week, tho. :devil: Wish she would get here, already! Today, I am on track and had a great workout this morning!…

Bru- Wow! That's awesome! Nobody ever pulls over to shake my hand.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Happy Friday Morning! June 1: 162 June 4: 160.2 June 11: 158.2 :bigsmile: I don't know how I lost 2 lbs. this week, but I'll take it! DF is working again this weekend so that usually makes eating healthy a bit easier. Bad news is that I have Baby Showers both Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully, I can stay away from the food at…

I am still hangin' in, but the last couple of days has been really hard. DF's mother was in the hosp for a new seizure disorder and my mother was also there having a heart procedure done. I spent most of yesterday there and ate breakfast and lunch in the hosp cafeteria. I think I did okay for both of these meals. For…

It's confession time for me! Yesterday, I did really well all day. I got a workout in after my appt. and felt great! I took my pregnant sister, my 2 year old nephew, and my 16 mo. old to the playground. Brought healthy snacks for everyone. 1st mistake: Preggo wanted a snocone so we stopped there and got one. I bought a lg.…

My weekend was pretty good food and exercise-wise. I stayed near my calorie limit and did some sort of exercise each day. I have an early appt. so I'm afraid I won't be able to exercise tomorrow. I find that if I don't workout in the morning then I can't find time the rest of the day. The bad news is that I am totally…
