:bigsmile: Down 4 lbs!!!!! That's so awesome...atta girl! Keep up the great work Christine....you've obviously tapped into a winning routine...we'll just sit back and enjoy the show as you keep dropping those pounds:flowerforyou: Got to the gym today and did 1hr on the elliptical-600 cals. Lord have mercy but I wanna shoot…

The makeover sounds aewsome, I'm with Heather- you HAVE to do a before and after to post here. Sounds like we are all putting off the weigh in until tomorrow....I whole heartedly agree. My read sucks oranges this morning:explode: so I'm not logging it till Tues. I know I'm premenstrual also cause I feel so bloated and look…

If I could I would put in a bottle and mail it express:love: No workout for me today...I'm ok with that. Did a load around the house, got my nails done and now getting ready for an evening with the girls. Have pinot breathing and all the candles I can get my hands on lighting...looks a bit like a roman catholic church in…

Ok Heather this is getting wierd....should we be worried about the crew?

ok...this is starting to feel like the Heather and Shredder show!:bigsmile: You all better have really good excuses for the no-shows this week....kidding. Seriously...where are you hiding???? Heather looks like your metabolism is kicking into high gear because of your consistency with eating and exercising. Isn't it awsome…

Mom2three, There you are. It's ok. Life catches up with all of us, don't worry about it. The important thing is that you're BACK Yahoooo:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: ok, so all's you need to do is post your current weight (as of this Monday) and Allie will log it for us. Not only are we going against our own personal…

YAYYYYY Christine, way to go with the workout. Isn't it so awesome how your overall attitude shifts into such a positve zone after a bit of sweat... I got in my workout plan as scheduled...ran 1 mile and worked legs on the machine. I'm eating ok today and have a cut off time of 7pm tonight. I always lose faster when I curb…

Ta Da!!!! here's me:smile: Just figured out how to upload a picture from my files.

Yeah...that's a quite a discrepancy in reads Allie. Here's what I've done in the past to ensure my scales is on track. Take an 8 or 10lb free weight and place in on the scale. It should read whatever weight your using. I've noticed the heavier the weight the closer to a real read you'll get. Like if you place a 5lb weight…

I feel good!!!! Had a killer workout on the stairmaster ( are we still calling it that lol!) and burnt 543 cal. As far as eating, am doing well today and digging in to the proteins big time. No carbs for me after 12noon for this week and next, we'll see how that turns out. For weigh in this week I'm at 187 and I know why.…

Hi guys and thank you sooooo much for your lovely words of support and motivation!!!!! OK...I'm back with a vengence this week. I'd LOVE to not drink until Superbowl and really jump start my weight loss but I know myself too much and would fail miserably. I just look forward to my tasty wine at the end of the week but the…

Hi kids... sorry about the long absence but dealing with some personal issues have sidetracked my focus on weightloss. I haven't worked out once this entire week and I honestly don't think I will until next week rolls around. Heather I do like your 30m challenge and will go for it next week. The good news is that I've…

Stephanie, I forgot to mention but your Fajita recipe was Da Bomb!!!!!! Awesome, awesome. Thank you for that. My kids couldn't get enough and I had it for lunch the next day also. Who's next up with a killer recipe????

Heather, I can feel the fire coming off of you at the rate your losing :heart: You are an inspiration and we are all so happy for you. Your boyfriend must be stoked!!! MPH- I think your current strategy is an excellent one seeing as your exercise routine may be compromised slightly for a bit. I agree, it's all about what…

I'll add...Do not become a slave to your weight loss. Eat when you're hungry, stop when your satisfied and get out there amongst the "do'ers" and LIVE life to the fullest. This loss will happen but it will take time, in the meantime, embrace the awesome things about you today and celebrate those :happy:

Cool, looking forward to your recipe Stephanie. This soup thing is really working. I'm down a pound from yesterday and have 2 more bowls left for today. I think I'm gonna float out of here any minute I'm so filled up with liquids.:smile: Christine, let us know how you like the chicken soup. By the way, the shiraz was so…

:smile: To clarify, Stephanie would post her recipe by Monday for next week, Heather for the week after etc etc. Oh and by the way, this recipe does not HAVE to be in the crock pot (mmmm sounds like a good sign in name :smile: ) One more thing. Can you guys go and get MPH2 back in the game. I already sent him a message and…

I'm here, I'm here!!!!! Me too, have my shiraz corked and breathing and ready to have a killer Friday night.:drinker: Allie, I do hope you are better. Running when you are ill and exerting that much energy can make you regress. I implore you NOT to run unless you are 100%, I don't care how bummed out you'll feel, it's so…

You can always head to a bookstore and pick up a recipe book specifically designed for healthy crock pot meals. That's so cute you have 2 crock pots.

Christine, there is no doubt that your life is hectic but maybe one or two of these ideas may work for you. *Buy the greatest invention known to woman....a crock pot. Seriously, they will do your cooking for you all day and all you need to do come dinnertime is serve!!! Chop and prepare for the dish you want to serve the…

Stephanie,your so funny with the uuuggghhh on the weight chart but i do agree with you. Those numbers are not pretty huh? ok- got to the gym this morning as promised and ran a mile, walked for 10m, abs and a really long stretchy cool down. Feels goooood to be back and not nearly as intimidating as I felt walking in. There…

Allie and Christine thanks for the encouragement! I'm gonna add your suggestion to my list Allie as it really does help with my accountability when I log in here. I know i won't be judged so honesty is really the best policy as there is simply no avoiding my actions and behaviours. So yesterday was my kick off and I did a…

Hi there my friends. I have had the best Christmas and am so ready to get back in the saddle. Just spent a week in the snow just north of Big Bear in the quaintest cabin you ever saw. My kids had a blast sledding but fitting into those waterproof leggings (yikes)was a reality check. I need some serious changes to happen.…
