You look fabulous!! Congratulations!

Good morning everyone! I only got in 20 min of the shred yesterday in the morning before work with the intention of doing some cardio in the evening but it didn't happen. I'm hoping to get it all in today. Water intake wasn't so great either. Kendal- NO WEIGHING! Lacy- I've thought about being a pirate. I'm just not enough…

Good morning ladies. There isn't a lot to report from my end. The scale is still jumping back and forth and making me crazy. Grrrr! DOGS! I have a little black Pomeranian who thinks workout time is play time as well. Lacy- thanks for the advice on the vacuum. Mine just died and I need one that is good for dog hair. Well…

Gaaahhhhh! I've fallen off the wagon! I didn't log in much this last week so I wasn't counting my calories and I didn't work out once! We finished closing the store and The kid had the flu, but quite frankly I got lazy. I woke up this morning and gave myself a swift kick in the rear and I'm ready to get moving again. I…

Hello ladies. Sorry I haven't been great about jumping on. The kid has been sick and we are wraping things up at the store so I've been busy. Yesterday was the last day of business and today we start tearing down everything. I've been so bad with my exercise! Grrrrrrrr! Well I will do my best to get caught up tonight after…

ADG- Great job on working out even when you didn't want to. I feel so much better after I work out especially when I didn't really want to. I think that you and your husband are on the right track to getting to know eachother again. I am single and probably not the best at relationship advice ( mine are usually…

Izzy- Welcome to the group. Amy- Way to go on the weight loss! Lacy- My son gets crazy ear wax too. He always has. Crazy thing is he has never had an ear infection. Kristina- Have a blast with your old roomies. Well yesterday morning I was back down to 205.8 but this morning it jumped back up a bit. I know it was because I…

Karen- Great job avoiding the muffins! Well I exceeded my water intake today! 10 glasses down!

ADG- Welcome to the team! I'm sorry to hear about a bad 2010, but 2011 is a new begining and I think for all of us it is a big year for change and personal growth. Kristina- Sorry about the burn and I feel you on the spinach artichoke dip. Once it's in front of me I can't stop eating it! I have an iPhone too and though I…

Welcome to all the new people! Sorry I haven't been better about posting on here. I currently don't have Internet (long story) so I've been posting from my phone which can sometimes be a pain. Anyways....... I finaly measured myself and I was actually a little surprised by my measurements (neck:15" waist: 39" and hips…

I was at 207.6 today up a bit from last weeks 205.8 :(

I do need to start measuring myself. I just keep putting off getting a tape measure. I did go up a bit but I'm not too stressed about it because I know I will get back down this week.

Hello ladies! I'm alive and ready to get back on track. This week was pretty yucky. Weather was gross (not snow but not rain, ewwww!) and add in the fact that TOM hit me pretty hard and my motivation went out the door. I did a lot of couch time and girl movies. On a good note I stayed within my calories most of the week,…

Great job on the weight loss over the week! Christina- I hope you feel better soon. Sinus infections are terrible! Karen- I'm sorry to hear about your computer, but Congrats on the new one. Great attitude to have about the competition at work, but I still hope you win :) Kristina- I feel your pain. My TOM is due to arrive…

Ugh! I've been running around the last two days so I haven't had time to jump on here. Yesterday I was beyond bad. I didn't exercise, I didn't get all my water in and the jack in the box I ate for dinner put me over my calories. Today I got back on track. I only got 7 glasses of water in, but I exercised and was under my…

Have a seriously picky eleven year old and I've been trying to make subtle changes to meals we already eat like whole wheat bread instead of white, mission brand carb smart wheat tortillas instead of the regular white flour tortillas and so on. It's slowly getting easier.

Great job on all the loss ladies! Well Saturday's have been my normal weigh in day since I started MFP so I'll stick with that. I'm happy to report that I actually got nine glasses of water in yesterday! And as of this morning I went down another pound! Sarah 210.8/205.8 (5.5)

What day are we doing the official weekly weigh in?

Kristina- way to go on the run! The weather has been crap in my neck of the woods as well which makes it hard to get motivated sometimes. Keep it up though and you will be back down in no time. Victoria- I understand fast food cravings and it's terrible how convenient it is. The worst is around that time of the month…

Sorry I don't have time to respond to everyone, but it sounds like you all are on your way to meeting your goals. I made it to seven glasses of water today, did 20 min of cardio, and finished day three of the 30 day shred. I made yummy open faced sandwiches tonight! Garlic humus, grilled chicken onion and bell peppers,…

You look amazing!!

Great job everyone! Day two of the 30 day shred. I had an easier time today with the cardio side of it but my arms are killing me! Just goes to show that I've been using less of my upper body muscles than I thought.

I like the veggie tray idea. That's what I did for Thanksgiving at my sisters house. I still went over my calories but only by a bit. Snacking has always been a big part of Thanksgiving for me. Filling up on the veggies kept me from the fudge tray. Good luck :)

Welcome!

Congrats!!!!!

I didn't get all of my water in today :( but I did stay under my calories and exercised.

Welcome to the group!

I know 20 pounds in six weeks is going to be hard, but i think I can do it. I picked up Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and No More Trouble Zones today. Wish me luck :)

Welcome!!! You can add me too.

I went to school for graphic design as well and the part time retail job I work at is closing at the end of this month. The few design jobs I've spotted are for people who have years of experience.
