Thanks for the congrats...it's been harder and harder the smaller the number gets and especially with my sweet tooth...I may start doing my own 10k once a week to stay on top of things. Especially with the hills out here on this base...WHEW!!! Good luck on this week everyone! I look forward to the next challenge Mandy puts…

124.4 as of this morning, but it was after breakfast and I was feeling slight bloating. OH well still a loss! And I just did my first 10k. Jogged about half and power walked most then the last mile and a half we did a HUUUUUUUUUGE hill!!!!!!!! Hope you are all having a WONDERFUL weekend!

I agree I really like the challenge and have to say I appreciate you saying a little message to all of us here and there :o). I think I need to focus more on getting a JOB rather than exercising, but I can't help it I just love health and fitness and am bound and determined to get these last few pounds off. The Marine…

PS, Mandy thank you SO much for keeping up with this and keeping us accountable! I am definitely interested in the New Year New Me challenge!!! I really want to start running more and that's a perfect way to start!

I maintained 124.6 this week. Probably due to bloating and eating out tons last week. I am happy though. I am looking forward to this challenge since I slacked on this past week's. I did however do some good wall sits today and lunges/squats! Happy weekend everyone!

I am super scared for weigh in this weekend but I gotta face my fears! Not to mention I haven't done well keeping up with our weekly challenge this week either. I have done a couple classes that kicked my butt literally, my butt and thighs have been sore for 2 days now! Doing a class tomorrow too. Good luck with weigh in…

Remind me when a good time is to b#tch and when I should just keep my mouth shut LOL

Those wall squats kicked my *kitten* yesterday! I did one for 60, then 90 and then I did the third for 2 minutes! I feel great and back on track today. I am thinking about hitting up GNC for a energy pill and some more meal replacement shake mix. I guess it's when that time of the month comes I lack serious motivation and…

I did not weigh in this week. It is that time of the month and with my parents being in town I know I was bad. I am going to work double time this week to catch up. I just know for my sanity I can't bear to see what that number on the scale is....lol. The challenge is going to be intense but this is exactly what I need to…

Thanks Maria! I am a bit curious how this week will go since my parents are visiting. Today was not as bad as it could have been. I am guestimating after I powerwalked my *kitten* off this evening that I broke even with my calories or maybe was a hundred or so over....but I drank a TON of water/unsweet tea so if I can at…

124.6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I stepped on and off the scale twice to make sure I wasn't being lied to. So that's another pound this past week. Maybe it has to do with me doing 3 cardio/tone classes and lots of walking/squats! :) Woo hoo!!!! And to celebrate, my parents will be getting in town this evening and will be here for a…

Lol I realize this was a silly question, but I'm always wanting to learn more about health and fitness especially losing weight and getting more toned.

Wow everyone has lost so far! GREAT job!!!!!!!!! I will post later on...getting the house ready for my parents' arrival tomorrow!!!

That was definitely helpful! Thank you!

I try to make my workout routine not a routine at all so I am constantly shocking my body. I do different types of cardio pretty much daily one day power walking, one day jogging, zumba another day, cycling, hiking, I am always trying to change it. Then 2-3 days a week I do strength - one day with my trainer and then I…

That is awesome!! Thanks! :)

This was a really good thread to get ideas on how to curb the binge craving. I hate it so much when I get that once in a while feeling to just go through a whole box of cookies. As bad as it sounds I am glad I am not the only one who could demolish a huge amount of food! I find that going for a walk and drinking a ton of…

Mandy I was a little amazed with myself too. I think I overcame another physical boundary. I was dreading going especially because I made homemade meatloaf and mashed potatoes and green beans and didn't want to be sweating my butt off while my husband is enjoying a delicious dinner. I think doing Zumba helped me not want…

Hey it starts now! Tomorrow you can get back onto the path of success. Try to find some free time to go walking, jogging, bike riding, or even to the gym for at least 30 minutes of cardio. During commercials while you're watching tv do some squats or sit ups. take the stairs when going somewhere instead of the elevator and…

@ Dave very cool profession! @ Maria, Zumba was AMAZING! I sweated my BUTT off. It was "Zombie Zumba" and you were supposed to wear white/halloween outfit so my neighbor and I wore a sheet over us tied as a toga. It was hilarious and a great workout. I love workouts where you don't feel that "ugh FML" feeling, lmao! You…

Okay people!! I think I just ripped through a whole new layer of muscle tissue!!! I did this cardio/sculpt class at the gym with my neighbor today and my whole body is shaking!!! Ahhhhh but I definitely feel motivated! Tonight is zumba so I think we are doing that too. It's Halloween themed so you can either wear your…

I sincerely do not blame you and agree that it would probably be best since you couldn't really help what was being fed to you during this business trip. What do you do by the way?

Thanks for this tasty idea I think these will go on my grocery list!!!

Hope you are having a fun and safe trip so far Dave!! Today I woke up feeling weird, and it showed at my trainer session. She was pushing me hard and I almost blacked out....oops! So we ended the session early by about 10-15 minutes. I walked to/from the gym so that helped and I think I'll go walking tonight after dinner…

Honestly never been to both but I hear wonderful things about it!

My husband is in the Marine Corps. I suggest to your hubby to run as much as possible! Lol. Good luck!

Yes advil is pumping through my body as we speak and so is the water LOL. I tell you what I think I handled last night like a champ though because I haven't drank a lot like that since February when it was my birthday haha. I think after I clean the house and get hydrated I will walk the dog (slower shorter walk for him…

Poop! I forgot to post on here, but I did post it to my progress on my profile. Another .2 loss but that was after I had eaten breakfast and stuff so it may be a bit more. Regardless last night I had italian for dinner and drank jack and diet coke so I will be busting butt to get back to what I was when I weighed in I'm…

So all my pumpkin lovers...you need to try this recipe: 1 can pureed pumpkin, 1 box of spice cake mix. Preheat oven to 350 and mix two ingredients together. Bake for about 30 minutes. Yields about 12 servings at only 180 calories each....but I made about 16 or 17 servings so it will be a little less....that's good because…

Try this: Start 2 min warm up at 0 incline move to 1 min @ level 4 incline 3 @ 8 2@ 12 1@ 3 2@ 10 1@ 12 4@ 7 2@ 12 2@ 6 Cool down for however long you like.
