Thanks for all your suggestions. No running stores nearby will have to Google and plan a road trip.

I would love the help, motivation and support you are offering - being happily married added pounds :sad: - eat out and too much I can't afford a personal trainer - hopefully you still have 'room' for me

A product that is truly good for you is not going to be "cheap". I frequently use Isagenix protein shakes - cost less than $3 per shake.

Isagenix - creamy dutch chocolate is yummy! 24 g premium undenatured whey protein 8 g fiber 23 vitamins & minerals low glycemic, free of gluten & soy, active enzymes, fuels muscle growth & maintenance

I was gone and sick during/after the holidays so I didn't get a weigh-in done. I am beginning with my last weigh-in and going foward. 12/18 174.5 01/09 171.5 yay!

12/20/2012 - completed 2.5 miles power walk at various inclines

WOW! You rock. I do the same thing but not that far per time.

I completed 2.5 miles in this morning

I do some sort of cardio 45-60 min a day, 5 days a week. I would like to add more weight training to my regimin - nothing heavy, just for toning.

Lisa Height: 5' 10" Current Weight: 174.5 Short Term Goal Weight: 168.5 by 2/1/2013 Next Term Goal Weight: 160 by 4/15/2013 (will be tough - long, stressful days during tax season) Ultimate Goal Weight: 155 by 6/1/2013 and maintain!!! Weekly Goal - for 12/19/12 - to get my workouts in the next week - even Christmas Eve &…

Starting Weight: 191 (when I began MFP 10.15.12) Current Weight: 174.5 (12.19.12) (16.5 lb loss since start) Have not measured yet. Wish I would have measured 2 months when I started so I knew how many inches I have lost...need belts for my pants!!!

Count me in! I need accountability and motivation during the stressful tax season. Looking forward to what's ahead.

To be honest, I am not at a good place this morning. I got off my restricted and healthy eating the past few days and I literally do not feel well today. If I had the finances and wanted to poked and prodded I would be tested for what exactly is the root/cause of this pain and icky feeling. Thankful today is a new day, the…

Whoot! Whoot! I have my skinny jeans on today for the office Christmas party. (and I have an excited husband who says I'm hot :love: ) Now that's victory after a 50 day challenge!!!!

Well, I am patting myself on the back! I did not skip my workout tonight - in fact, I burned some calories! After I was done on the treadmill, I did 100 squats, 75 lunges per leg, and 100 crunches. I did it - there was victory in this day!!!

Not sure I can say the past 50 days went fast because I have been working my butt off!!! The Christmas parties are starting and vendor food gifts are starting to arrive at the office. This is a very hard time of the year for me because I love to bake and I love the holiday food. To make matters worse - I am tired and…

I did it! Drank over 128oz of water and kicked up my workout. Kicked up the intensity and time. 30 min on the elliptical 23 min of spin class (had to cut out early for pers training session) 30 min of training - we did kettlebells! and finish with jump rope!! talk about a kick butt workout but it felt great as well. The…

Thanks for the clarifications. I am going to do what I can - not sure about the swimming part - will see. I started this tonight - I ran 1.5 miles before power pump class! :smile:

Hmmm - I'll have to think this over. Not sure I will have time for in addition to my workouts

drank or 128 oz today - lost track after that!

Bring it on. I'm ready for Water Wednesday - even Water Week! :) I have 9 days before the end of the challenge at the Y - I want to reach my 1st goal of 15 lbs by then. I tried on a pair of jeans hanging in the closet - I can get them on!!! a bit snug but I am close to wearing them again. So, I am going to kick some butt…

Thanks for your motivation and encouragement. I am tired today after hosting my family's Thanksgiving yesterday. I feel good about my portion controlling. I am going to do some self care today - a 1 hr massage this morning and then later a hair cut (by a new stylist - so maybe a new look also). Hubby is doing better after…

I "fell" into a lower "decade" , as you would call it Crystal, this week losing 12.3 lbs so far and I am very excited about that! Our family Thanksgiving dinner is on Friday this year and thankfully I only have one meal this year instead of 3 or more. I am going to do portion control and make healthy choices. I am going to…

Don't go back to smoking. KUDDOS to you - You have already made a HUGE healthy choice for yourself and your future. Don't give up - remember, one day at a time.

oh- those ever nagging lunges and wall sits. I like to workout my lower half because I know it needs it but I don't like the pain that goes with it. I try to use reverse psychology and tell myself it is progress pain - no pain, no gain! A fitness class I take at the Y forces, I mean instructs, participants thru these each…

Happy Friday everyone! I so wish I could get my dear hubby to workout with me - he needs it far more than I do! I haven't change his mindset, YET, about exercising and making healthier food choices. Because he is getting a late start at work this morning due to a dr appt he will be working late tonight and I have a pers…

This is a difficult but great challenge for me because I am very hard on myself. What I have accomplished so far is a 7lb loss and I have been working out 5 days a week for 45-60 min. I am feeling myself getting stronger with each workout. I "feel" thinner today (I have to start measuring so I can see progress besides the…

I'm all in. I am going to try for 100.

For me, I can't stay motivated doing something at home on my own andI don't exercise outside during the winter. I go to fitness classes at the Y, various ones to fight off boredom, as well as treadmills and ellipticals and weight training. I love water aerobics but I haven't been attending because the time is too late for…

I too did not have a good weekend for meals. Ate out and made bad choices. So glad today is a new day...I will make better choices today and be sure to get a workout in! Weighin is Wednesday am - time to kick it in gear.
