Hi everyone! 6/4 - 2 miles (with Leslie's Walk it Off in 30 Days - new to me - I loved it! I also couldn't help myself but to also do the second part which is 30 minutes of strength training - very good.) Total - 8/40 - 32 to go

Welcome new walkers! This is my first challenge, too and I think you will agree It's encouraging to have the accountability. Startergal53 - thanks!! You are doing great getting out there first thing! Today I did one mile with Leslie (third mile of Nutri System Womens's Walk). Did that along with the first half of Slim in…

3 Mile Weight Loss Walk with Leslie today 5 Miles total for the month 35 to go (I'm enjoying this so much I just might increase my goal.... :)) Have a great day!

Hi Lori! I will join you! I'm a HS mom of 5 also getting back on the bandwagon, needing to drop 30 lbs and get consistent exercise into my day! Always something going on at home that seems more "important" but I've got to do it! Nice to have the encouragement.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm excited and grateful for the group!

Got my first walk of the month! :) - Miles 1 and 3 of "3 Mega Miles" 6/1 - 2 miles 38 more to 40 mile June goal Happy walking, everyone!

Hi all! I just joined the group today! I have a few Leslie Sansone DVDs that I enjoy, and I just ordered some more. I like the Three Mile Weight Loss Walk (with the famous second mile by Mary Kay that so many seem to love!). I can't wait to receive and try the new ones I ordered, which are Walk it Off in 30 Days, Belly…

Bump to save. Thanks!!!

I am currently on Burn it Up. Seeing great toning results; not many pounds yet. Another MFP friend and I keep one another accountable. Anyone still doing it? I have several of the Slim Series ( the follow up workouts to Sin6) and will start those pretty soon.

What an amazing thing you have done for yourself and family, to lose the weight to improve your health and better enjoy life with them!! Incredibly inspiring story! Your wife is beautiful, too, but you knew that :)!

Bump Exactly what I was looking for!

In addition to all the other advice, consider taking a closer look at your wine/alcohol consumption. Even when it fits into your calories, it can still slow the metabolism. Not suggesting to cut it altogether, and I am not a wine naysayer here :)! Cutting down to 4 oz and even cutting down to 4 days per week could make a…

I recently read about research suggesting that early a.m. workouts done before eating are more effective in producing the desired effects of fighting diabetes/ insulin resistance.

I'm with you!! Kids having all those gadgets is a sign of lazy parenting so the rude behavior stems both from the electronic addiction and bad parenting! Of course there are those who do use these things in moderation. You are smart to make the choices you do. I hope your son makes some nice new friends with common…

Berries ( even frozen, unsweetened) - nice added to yogurt Look for a higher fiber breakfast cereal Low carb, high fiber wraps ( we have some brands here in the US with 7 or more grams) More veggies and beans ( even just added to your rice that you are already eating Small (1/2cup) serving of whole grain pasta Sprinkle…

Wow! You both look fantastic ( and younger!). WTG for your son, too!

Bump Thank you!

Thanks! Well it's working! Sorry about the knee issues, but good for you for overcoming that. Never would have guessed you didn't work those legs! Congrats and keep up the great work.

I keep coming back to look at your pics! Fantastic! You are just beaming in the second pic and look so young! Your calves look great.....your secret? :)

Oh, yes.....and in a pinch on busy days , the Gortons grilled fish filets are very yummy. Might be a little costly for the whole family, but would be yummy in a soft tortilla fish taco, I think! That might be a fun way to introduce the concept to the kids?

Yes, I vote for tilapia too! I just drizzle with lemon and lemon pepper. We have also enjoyed smearing a mixture of mayo, Italian breadcrumbs, and Parmesan on top before baking. We are trying to work in more fish too!

Getting my own workout in before school works best for me. I have some DVD workouts I enjoy, and also have a stat bike and treadmill. Dawn
