Was there a particular exercise you were doing to lose around the back? That is where I am trying to lose. I am def an apple shape and I am trying to lose across my back and under my breasts. :smile:

I'm already doing bellydancing. That has helped some. I will have to check and see what other classes my gym offers. Thank you!

Ok, I am not doing too well. :embarassed: But I am today!! I am eating better TODAY and I am going to take advantage of the certified personal trainer staying with me while he is visiting!!! Gotta do this!! CAn't have anymore off days!!! Bye bye sodas!!! :cry:

I posted to the spreadsheet but I did not get my weight posted here. I gained. I am back up to 230 :*( But that is ok. I will get it off and do better for the next weigh in.

Thank you for sharing this. It is the end result of reaching the ultimate goal and the praises that we strive for.

Hoping to lose this week. I will have to wait until I go home and go to sleep and wake up again. I need to figure out when I should weigh and all of that good stuff. I also need a digital scale so I can do the point lbs too. I will get there. $$ is not on my side this month :embarassed: . But I am working on my parties to…

Weight for today is 227 lbs. I am down 2 lbs.

I am so excited. I just signed up to start belly dancing classes starting next Tuesday! I have always wanted to learn it and I know it is a great excercise. The instructor said you can burn approx 600 calories in an hour class!! Can't wait. I may not do well this week but I am back to thinking straight as of tonight!! Good…

Thank you! I will try to keep that in mind. It is hard and I am not going to make excuses I am just going to do it!!

Thank you for your advise. I wil def. try that!

Well I don't know how well I am gonna do this week. I have the intentions. I just can't seem to make myself get up and do the exercise part. I am on this emotional roller coaster. I have fallen into the comfort food. If I don't do that I go to sleep. I work 3rd shift so I need to sleep but I find it easier to sleep instead…

from what I was told you take your weight divdie it by 2 and then take that number and divide it by 8 and that is how many glasses of water you should be drinking. I have been trying really hard to get close to that. I have found when I do get close my weight loss is better and I feel better all over! Good luck!

So excited abuot this!!! Starting weight 229 lbs. My excercise goals are to actually use the couple of cardio dvds I have at the house, take the steps at work, walk, walk, walk, stretches (for my back that I should be doing anyways) and glider. I plan to do some kind of excercise 5-7 days a week alternating between the…

Ok, took the pics and weighed! Let's get this started! I have not done the measurements. I don't have anyone to do them for me. lol SW for challenge = 228 Can't wait to lose this weight!!

I am in!!!! I am just getting caught up on the postings. sorry!

Thank you for posting this. I have been wanting to try it out also, but working grave shift I don't seem to make it to the classes. I will have to purchase the dvd and/or maybe get the one for Wii. My kids just got a Wii and I need to put it to good use. lol I bought the book about Zumba but not the dvds yet.

I have found on the week that I drank a lot of water I lost the most weight. I know it is hard to get the H2O in but it is so important. I try to drink 12-14 glasses of H2O a day. I feel better when I get my H2O in. It is a long, tough journey but we will make it. Good luck on your journey. Don't lose hope. We are here to…

Thank you all for your insight! I knew there had to be something. I don't expect to have JLO's butt, just a lil' something back there where my jeans won't sag in the butt. I remember once upon a time when I was in high school being 115-125 lbs complaining about not having a butt. But I am sure once my stomach goes down my…

Let's do this!!!!

Thank you for sharing how you are doing! You are an awesome inspiration!
