Congratulations! You look great!! :) We are the same height and I'm at your starting weight. I hope to look as good as you when I lose the weight.

I Know EXACTLY how you feel. I borrowed it from a friend. Had it at home for 2 weeks and gave it back. I just got my own and thought to my self ... I'm not loosing this one!! SO Yesterday was my fit test, shortly afterwards I felt amazing. My heart was beating so hard the whole time but I took it easy. If you pop in the…

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I am starting this tomorrow after taking the kids to school. How long did you do the fit test? Just once?

Got my set ... I'm ready to start. Please add me to your group. I will be starting Saturday because my late days are Fridays. So I think I want to take Fridays off. I know its hard ... That's why I definitely need some motivation. My plans are to do 2 sets of 60 days. Then re evaluate myself by then. Feel free to add me!!…

I am in. Im in column number 2.

I am 5'4 and my first goal would be 140 but in between 125 & 130 is my uktimate goal. In high school I was no more than 115 ... I look at pics now and seem very skinny. After my daughter was born 9 yrs ago i went up to 125. I like how I looked then :)

Under circuit training is where I post it. Hope it helps!

Yummmm bumpity bump

Day one done! I had to push myself ... But felt good :) I have measured and taken pics of myself, so that maybe at the end of 30 days we can share our results. Anyone can add me to motivate each othet. I will be committed to the 30 day. Happy Ripping :D

I would like to join. I will be starting sunday and taking Saturdays as my off day instead of sundays. I will be also doing about 30 min additional walking 3-4 times a week. I will post my measurements and SW tomorrow :)

These sound delish!! Must make :)

Bump .... Yummyyyyy!

I am in Florida ... Treasure coast area. We also have a similar goal :) What is your timeframe? I am hoping something like 20 by July and 20-25 by december if not sooner. Add me if you like :)

I'd love to Join! SW: 164 (9/12/2011) GW#1: 154 (10/31/2011) Hot by Halloween GW#2: 144 (11/28/2011) Thanksgiving GW#3: 134 (12/31/2011) Hotter by the Holidays

Thank you guys for the feedback .. would love to hear more! can someone say why they prefer one or the other?

Kuddos for You! Thats an awesome acomplishment! :)

Just make sure you read on nutricion info. Too much sugar is bad. Although you are trying to lose weight, protein helps your muscle rebuild the micro tears that form when working out, specially weight lifting. Make yourself a smoothie. Strawberries, bananas low fat milk. Just make sure you limit the amount your drink,…

I see a difference! Way to go! :)

Bump! This is an awesome thread! Hope to post my pics in here soon :)

My personal trainer from "Hard Excersice Works" Said at first, it is NORMAL to gain weight in the first week of starting up excersice and healthy dieting. So, give it some time for your body to adjust, keep drinking water to avoid water retention, and pay attention to the time of the month since it can add up over 5 lbs in…

Bump ... happy I ran into this thread! :smile:

Congratulations!! I'd suggest trying to stay in the 1400 calories instead of the 1200 because you are breastfeeding. A suggested amount of calories for a breastfeeding mother is 1700 but since you are trying to lose weight, don't go down to the 1200 you might be limiting yourself and your baby of healthy nutrients. Good…

I got my FT4 at Best Buy for Under $90. It is great! It shows my fat burn zone, my heart rate, my calories burned, and it gives you a data chart with the information of your work (time, calores burned, and maintained heart rate). I love my HRM! It has a starp, and it's really confortable! :) Good Luck!

I also bought a HRM from target, and returned it the next day, the way they work, you have to constantly keep checking your pulse with it so that it records your heart rate. To me that was a bit annoying, and innacurate! If I forgot to check my pulse I could be cheating myself! So, I got the polar at Best Buy for less than…

Hang in there!! It took 4 weeks for me start seeing results! :noway: But, now its starting to come off, slowly but surely. Drink lots of water. If you know you will be excersicing that day, push for 1400 calories that day instead. It is hard, but remember you are doing it on your own and the natural way. Instead of…

That's awesome!!! I am building myself up there too! Slowly but surely. BTW Nancy, I think I also have a girl crush on her! LOL She is tough but fantastic!

Bump! That is an awesome site! Thanks for sharing!!

Bump.

THANK YOU ALL!!! I think that was exactly what I needed to hear ... 15 more minutes on that treadmill today will surely help me feel better!! I'm keeping my head up .. being new at this, tends to get a little scary sometimes!
