i think i have added everyone who provided a username

yay super excited you both added me. right now i workout 5x a week. i love the garmin way more than the fitbit

I've been following this swim program i found online. it teaches you in a good way to increase your swimming weekly. I hadnt swam in 7yrs and i started this program 3 weeks ago and its been great. Am i out of breathe? Yes It does get better and i take my time too b/c you are slowly conditioning your lungs :)…

Make it tighter on your wrist. i just got mine last week. My HR has been reading 130-140 and i burned ~400 cals for 30min swim. I'm sure my HR is higher than that but ill take it. I still like the garmin overall.

Hey Everyone! I've been MIA way too long. According to the website last login was back in May. So, i am embarrased to say i have gained back ALL the weight i had lost. My hubby left for navy boot camp in May and i was emotionally eating. Hubby graduated in July. He has to stay in Chicago for school. So i am still alone in…

i love zumba! i hardly do the boucing myself becuase it gets me too winded. lol. but, its soooo much fun! i thought about purchasing the DVD, since my gym mbrship expired.

Hi All, I'm back (Again, lol) I forgot to post that i was going on a 7 day cruise. It went well. I'm not gonna lie i went crazy with the eating. i ate like a starved child. I was SO rebellious! But, it bit me back, by wednesday i had eaten so much food that i couldn't eat much afterwards, its like my stomach shrank out of…

i found the thread again! :) Are we still doing weigh ins on fridays?

hi everybody! i'm back from being MIA. i was going through some issues but i think i have worked them out for the time being. I ended up quitting my job because it was making me miserable! Plus, they wern't giving me the leave i requested (to spend time with hubby who us going to bootcamp on May 11) becuase he isn't…

*THIS* is an attempt at posting on here! Work is finally slowing down and i can actually got on the website to see what people are up too, i havent had time to read all the previous posts. It seems like we are chatty again though! I joined a gym because i missed the grou classes. Right now, i am taking Zumba and "Metobolic…

I lost track of the thread! dangit! But i found you all! muahaha! My goal tommorrow is to read all the posts and post myself. I really wanna keep up with everyone here. :)

Hi everyone, sorry i've been MIA for awhile. been super busy at work and i've been having issues with the weight loss. I cant stay focus i have too much going on. But, ill get through it, its just another obstacle. i'll try to post more often.

I have the one that comes with a chest strap and for an hour of walking it ranges from 400-500 cals depending on the heart rate.

Good thing you have that type of support. I'm gonna need some soon as well. The hubby has officially elisted in the Navy and will be going to bootcamp May 11. These next three months will be precious for us. 2 months of boot camp in Chicago, then 4 months of school also in Chicago.

LOL, why the tears? is the 30 day shred that rigorous??? I try to stay neutral for my workouts otherwise i dont try at all. Although, if i'm mad then i take it out on my exercises.

I didnt know what it was either :) I had a voucher for half price. The best way to describe it is "A mixture of hawaiian, filipino with some spanish influence" The hubby ordered their combo plate with beef and pork ribs, both were delicious. They come with a choice of white or red rice. We didnt get the red rice since we…

Well, if your willing to give up your taste buds for a month then there are options. My husband also enlisted in the navy and is also at his max weight. He has two months before he goes to boot camp. Ideally he wants to drop 15-20lbs. His plan of attack is to eat a lot of baked plain chicken breasts with spinach salads or…

Lol, i also had some delicious food tonight as well. :) I had Guamanian Food, i tried tracking it the best i could. Thank goodness that i had an hour workout :)

um, i went to a sporting shoe store that offered to do a test that measured your arch, stride and what not. Then they recommended shoes to me. I ended up buying New Balance shoes. i paid $140ish. That was 2 years ago and they are great. My husband also bought New Balance shoes.

This may be a strange questions... but are you getting enough sleep? I've read a lot of articles about getting enough sleep and being able to lose weight. I had issues with the scale from early december up until mid january. I was going up and down the same pound. I was getting between 4-5 hrs of sleep and it was beginning…

*LOL* thank you for that reminder :)

YUM! I'll have to keep this recipe around so i dont buy premade granola anymore.

I change the fruits every week. Last week it was cantaloupe and papaya this week it is honey dew melon and asian pear (the texture is way better than a normal pear!) Jicama is also a good option. :)

I also drink my protein shake after my workout like the previous posters. I like to drink them to add protein to my diet as well. I use "Optimum Nutrition" Brand. They have tons of flavors. I've tried Mint Chocoalte, Double Rich Chocoalte, Caramel Toffee fudge and Mocha Cappccino. So, far all are quite tasty. :)

Question: Did Dr Oz specify what counts as "the morning" My morning starts at 8am, wheareas my friends morning starts at 3am. I know for breakfast they say to eat within the hour. Oh, yeah the soda is an evil little culprit. I weaned off of it about 2 years ago. Since then i drink it at mos once a week. I dunno how i…

Hi All, I've been lurking through the posts lately. I dunno whats wrong with me, i seem so tired lately. It seems like all of you are doing a good job!
