I don't have one yet but I plan on getting one- therefore, I think they are SWEET! (According to the pictures on google- the inner thigh counts, which is where I plan on placing mine :happy: ) I believe it will be painful due to the sensitive area/skin but to sound cliche "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I think if…

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! My motivation is my work-out partner. Whenever I give up and take a break, I see her keep going and making noises of determination. It is my motivation to keep going because I'm competitive when it comes to fitness and seeing her push herself to the limits every time we do an Insanity work out is just . .…

I thought skipping breakfast wasn't healthy. . ? I normally eat breakfast even though I am not hungry so I can get my metabolism/blood sugar going. I do become hungry about 3 hours later and eat a handful of peanuts or I have a coffee after my breakfast and then suck down water till lunch. Having coffee and then water is…

You look fantastic! well on your way to your goal. Congrats and thanks for the motivation

My highest was 165 (I'm 5'2") and currently at 143 (YEA!) but still have 15-20lbs to lose. I feel so much better and my knee no longer bothers me as much. I also feel more sensual and confident.

Bump! (I am also interested since I hit my plateau and still have some weight to lose.)

1. making better choices about food 2. heart rate monitor watch 3. determination to change my lifestyle

Way to stick with it! :drinker: with that strong of determination there is no way that plateau will stick around for long :happy:

Keeping it under 1200/day is going to cause your metabolism to slow down and push your body into starvation mode. I would not want you to deprive your body of the nutrients it needs to heal, so I would eat the maintence calories (the necessary amt to maintain your current weight) and then when you get the clean bill of…

You look awesome!!! Keep up the great effort. :D

This sounds extremely interesting yet I can't help but say . ."EWWW!" I will have to talk to my doctor next time I see her about this. It sounds like a good replacement especially for those who are constantly scared of leaking through at work (me!) but after being scared to death about TSS as a tween, I can't imaging…

Starting weight for September :146.6 This week's weigh in :145.2 Your goal for September : 140 Total Loss so far in September : 1.4 lbs How you are doing on your personal goal : still not too good with weight loss. at one point during the week I was down to 144.2 but then I haven't been exercising a lot this week and…

I walked 6.2 miles this last week :( Not anywhere close to where I want to be. Hopefully this coming week will be better and I can walk over 15miles. Wish me luck :D

You look great!! Keep up the great work :)

That is inspiring!!! So happy for you!!!

Are you eating the calories that you are exercising off? That makes a difference, too.

Update: I have walked 3.1 miles this week so far :( The last two days at work have upset my schedule and hopefully today i will be able to walk during lunch.

Starting weight for September :146.6 This week's weigh in :145.6 Your goal for September : 140 Total Loss so far in September : 1.0 How you are doing on your personal goal : not that great with weight loss but I have been doing very well with the amount of walking/exercise during the week and weekend. I walked 17.9 miles…

Goal for the week of Sept 4-10: 15 miles currently: 11.8 miles Sept Total: 17.4 miles This week has been bad for exercising. It has been cold, windy, and rainy this whole week. I was also sick on Tuesday and was still recovering Wednesday so that is two days that were missed. :sad: Have a good weekend ladies!

Starting weight for September : 146.6 This week's weigh in : 146.8 Your goal for September : 140 Total Loss so far in September How you are doing on your personal goal : not so well right now. I have contracted a sinus infection and am attempting to kick it with high doses of Vitamin C and E Any comments you'd like to make…

Good Labor Day Monday to all!! Walked 6-ish miles this morning in 1:40. :flowerforyou:

Sorry I haven't been back to post in awhile but I was confused about threads. . . So far for this week I have walked 15.06 miles but I will probably do another 2-3 miles tonight. I did 5K in 46 minutes, 2mins less than the last time I power walked it. As of this morning, I weigh 145.8. down .6 lbs from when I first started…

Eating only 900 calories NET is NOT HEALTHY! You should be eating the calories that you are exercising off. I believe anything less than 1200 net, makes your body think it is in starvation mode causing everything to slow down and hoard all and any calories you put into your body.

Thank you all for the great advice- much appreciated!!:flowerforyou: :drinker: I weigh myself everyday as a motivational tool. Its really easy to stay motivated when I can see that it is making a difference. Also, I thought it was a "plateau" in the sense that normally I lose anywhere between .2-.6lbs/day but I was…

Hello- I am happy to join this challenge; I need some motivation! SW (as of today): 146.4lbs Goal Weight for September 30: 140lbs Self-Challenge: open my ears to God's word (and not just what I want Him to be saying)

I agree and it is very true!!! A couple of summers ago, I joined a gym and it had a deal about a month long membership where they would weight and measure you at the beginning of the trial period and then at the end. (They also walked you though what workout you should do to maximize weight loss.) I would weigh myself…

1. eyes 2. smile 3. volunteering/ giving for the sake of giving and not expecting something in return 4. intelligent/ critical thinking/ doesn't follow the crowd 5. playful 6. continuously (mentally) improving himself (if you can't tell by now, I have a very specific person in mind ;))

Power walked for another 1.8 miles instead of taking a nap. Now THAT is an accomplishment :P

I walked 3 miles so far today. . . I'm debating going for a walk or taking a nap. :P

I'm in!! I walk (almost) everyday at lunch with some co-workers. What are the rules? (I've never done one of these)
