shredder

Get there before her, take the fan and aim it 100% at yourself. When she comes in and sees you, give her a a huge smile and thank her for giving you the amazing, self centered, totally selfish, rude and narcissistic idea to use the gym equipment for your personal private use. Then march up to the managemant and file a very…

Try the "Hunger Games", it's a 3 part series and I devored the books. My 15 year old told me about it, really popular right now and a movie in the works for 2012:heart:

It does take a ton of work huh? .....but look at the rewards. Go get it ...lookin soooo good already :heart:

I have no advise to offer only words of support and admiration. Your sister is very very lucky to have you in her life. I wish you both huge success on you journey. Keep us posted on your results. :heart: S

I read them in disbelief questioning the age, maturity and sanity of some of the people who have all this time to devote such effort into negativity. I'm happy to stay in my little thread where our gang is so couragous and positive... There'll always be an audience for slander and accusations...what a pity right?

Holy Cow- Looks like Krcpugs may be the one to beat this week, -4.8lbs, I'm GOBSMACKED:noway: :noway: Sooooo delighted for you. HUGE shout outs to positvely_me -3.6 and to Bee28 -3 pounds. These are really major losses and you should be so proud of yourselves!!! Cchange- Don't you dare even think about losing the…

Congratulations my friend....how proud your man must be to have a hot mama on his arm!!!! I have a huge smile on my face for you today :bigsmile:

Great job to everyone who has maintained and lost. I'm soooo frustrated today. I've been working out like a woman possessed and really eating clean and a GAIN today for my efforts:sad: I'm so over myself I can't even tell you.:mad: Ah well...as the Brits would say, "Chin up and carry on" SW-193.5 LW- 194.6 CW- 195.6 +1lb…

Like CasperO said, it's all about deciding to do it. Sounds like your ready....good for you! Go get 'em tiger :wink:

Allie what brand of trainers did you get? I'm curious because that's what I've asked for Mother's Day. I don't want flowers or perfume, I want a practical gift and one I really need. I have Ryka's right now but I'd like to check out a new brand with lotsa cushion and support as I'm a bit prone to shin splints. Any ideas?…

meokk....I LOVE to garden and it's such an amazing way to burn calories and do something you really enjoy. reading your post really shows how far you have come!!! You should be so proud. KAskinny- Come on....get your body moving girl. Thursday is approaching (Wed. weigh in for you)....you've got to do the work...You can do…

hymiesmom- I'm such a HUGE fan of Tosca. I own the 2 books on diet that she's written, subscribe to Oxygen magazine (which is owned and published by her husband Robert Kennedy), and have just today subscribed to their Clean Eating magazine. What I love about her is that she truely speaks from experience, she's been down…

Yaaay Crawline, that's the spirit!!! Today in another opportunity for success! I love this quote from Thomas Edison, after over 10,000 attempts to create electric light..... " I had to succeed because I was running out of ways to fail. I had to keep going".

A huge congratulations to kaylac13 and to plawarder. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Wow, I can't believe how fast the weight is dropping off you guys. I'm with Allie....what are your secrets??? I'm sure we would all love to know. So, kaylac13, I'm all fired up for your challenge, looks like a great one. Today is May…

Hi purdygirl... I know right? It's like an epidemic out there with TOM, not losing/gaining, low motivation. I'm glad to see you drinking your water and getting your stretch in. I made it to the gym today, ran a mile, lifted weigh's (upper body) and got my crunches (thanks meokk) and stretches in. I've noticed that a lot of…

Checking in... Week 1 4/16 193.5 Week 2 4/26 195.6 +2.1 Week 3 4/30 194.6 -1 This week sucked so big time for me (and from your posts, sounds like I wasn't the only one). I have no-one to blame but ME! I could post a thousand excuses as to the why's of my failures, but I'm not going there. Bottom line, I ate too much and…

Never you mind what people say to you... The "Experts" all agree that a stretch and soft warm up not only helps you gear up to burn at maximum capacity during your actual workout, it also prevents injury. It's a good thing and I'm really pleased that you're incoporating it into your day....once a week is more than a lot of…

lauryn...I commend you for making such efforts in your eating. Being in another womans home, no less kitchen, is always a touchy subject. You don't want to impede on her space, but at the same time you DO have to eat. So let's look at all you are doing right... You're drinking lotsa water, eating a healthy breakfast,…

Bee28 HALT!!!! Literally. Get out a post it, stick it on the fridge door with this acronym... H- Hungry? A- Angry? L- Lonely? T- Tired? Ask yourself if you are feeling one of the above and take a 10min sit down to answer. Still hungry, drink some water and try to make a healthy choice. Not hungry....walk away from the…

Heather, I know some of my friends who work at computors can time a "Drink Water" reminder to flash on their screen every 15 or 30 mins, whatever works for you. This may help you, especially if you get in the work zone and are so captivated in yoyr work (good girl) that you simply forget.:drinker: I'm a home maker so it's…

Cris- how are you feeling today? We all hope you are on the road to a strong recovery....take it easy child! What an amazingly informative post on the benefits of drinking water. I was particularly interested in the paragraph about how the body tends to hold on to water if we are not drinking enough and the process…

I knew you would!!!! As i posted on the other board this morning regarding dancers and the importance of stretching, I really did witness that firsthand over the weekend. My girls and I attended a 3 day dance convention and I tell you, these gals were not only lithe, toned and graceful but so incredibly powerful and had…

did you get your stretching done yet? Nice job on the cardio:smile:

Way to go my girl!

Ok guys, just heard from Kris and she's in bed with a crazy sinus infection :sad: She's asked me to post this week's challenge from her....so here it goes Kris challenges you to drink half of your weight each day in water (oz) So if you weigh in at 200lbs, you would need to drink 100oz or 12.50 cups of water. Here's the…

Allie I like it! Not only will we be motivated to have our name in lights, but what an aweseme way to keep the challenge chain going. Obviously we are seeing a set back this week as kris has yet to post....where are you!!!!! I'm all for it. Also, because you'be been doing a steller job with getting the spreadsheet up on…

I'm such a dork.... I was trying to catch up on all the posts and instead of posting on this thread I did on the old one under "Introduce Yourself"...sorry gang. If you don't want to go over there and read it the jist is this.... Until I can find out what happened to the challenge from kris this week I want you to try the…

Wow Heather you look fabuloso in your dress and boots. Happy Birthday my friend.:flowerforyou: What a weekend....in Palm Springs with my 2 girls at a dance convention. A lot of time spent watching them dance with also a good mix of downtown for all of us spent at the pool (there were 3 pools at our hotel). That was a…

Checking in... Week 1 (4/16) 193.5 Week 2 (4/26) 195.6 +2.1 :sad: :sad: :sad: Attribute the gain to a more accurate read on a new scale (so my SW was most likely inaccurate) TOM- swollen and puffy Wins so far...completed 50% of meokks challenge (situps), meditation to follow 3 workouts so far this week. Normally would…

Well said jaac90! Thank you for that reminder. We are soooo tough on ourselves right? I definately fall into that category and really need to lighten up. So meokk has handed the baton to chris20056. Can't wait for the next challenge. I still need to get in my 15 mins of meditation.... does 15 minutes sitting in traffic and…
