Same here. I have my first summer off since 2015 (I've been going back to college for a degree in accounting). So I do a lot of sitting at my job, then I sat all night in classes. So now that it's summer I'm really trying to drop some weight, it's been out of control. I get discouraged and depressed often with weight loss…

No, I started on Levothyroxine in the past, and now am on Armour. I have not ever seen any weight loss. I have however noticed a difference in my energy levels. It at least made it easier to get through workouts!

I also have a desk job. I'm not sure if you're looking for lunch suggestions? If so, one thing I like making for lunch is some simple hummus ( put 1 can garbanzo beans, 2 TBS tahini, 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp onion powder in food processor. Drizzle in roughly 1 cup of extra virgin olive…

Hi everyone! I'm currently in Caledonia! (Near Grand Rapids). Does anyone live near GR that wants to start jogging once or twice a week? My last jogging buddy moved, which was sad because knowing you have someone to meet to jog with gave me that push to actually go out and do it! :) Traverse City is probably my favorite…

I would like to start jogging more often! My goal is to do a 5K at some point this year. The color and zombie runs sound like a great time! I'm in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. Anyone else around that area that would like a jogging buddy? I'm thinking of starting just 1 -2 times a week and going from there. I know life…

HOly wow 85 pounds! Way to go! 1. I do Jillian MIchaels videos, and the way she targets "that pooch in your lower belly that you don't dig" is by doing reverse crunches. Lie on your back with your arms by your sides. Look up at the ceiling, do not crane your neck. Put your legs bent at 90 degrees, with your knees above…

I've been stepping up the exercise. The weight loss has been slow, but I think its happening. I'm feeling better, and getting through my workouts without getting winded as quickly as before. :-) I'm happy with my progression, even if I don't hit the goal!
-
OK good idea: Friday: I woke up early today, got my coffee on and had an english muffin for breakfast instead of a fruit and grain bar, which has more sugar. Then I went to Subway before work, since I got up early, and bought a footlong TUrkey sub on wheat with veggies and lite mayo. I'll have half for lunch and half for…

I will struggle with this one, I always have to tell myself to drink more water. I will try harder today just for this challenge! :-)
-
ugh, my buns are already sore from 3 days of Jillian squats and lunges, bike riding and dancing. I"ll be going dancing again tonight, which is really more of a calf exercise with how much bouncing I'll be doing all night, but I'll try to keep my butt in check too :-)
-
Well I have many people I love in my life, and it just so happens I'll be going dancing on Friday with some friends, so I guess this was an easy challenge to fulfill! :-) Score!

I'm with you Crooky21, I am able to use the last notch on my belt now, that's two notches lost! I am personally quite happy with this. My worst weight was 194, and last time I weighed myself was yesterday, and I was at 178.2. I had hoped to weight 177 by the 14th of November, so I think I will definitlely hit my short-goal…

Lost 3 lbs in the last week. I hope to keep this up!
-
Well because of all the things I have to do today, I won't have time for a workout. However, I will be over at my parents and they always have snacks like chips and yogurt covered pretzels and stuff lying around. My personal goal: Don't eat any of them!!! :-) I hope everyone has a nice Sunday, enjoy that extra hour!
-
Well I failed this one. :-( I will have to try harder, I think staying in my sodium limit is going to be a difficult thing for me to try to maintain. Its a lifestyle change though, and that does take time. At least I'm aware of where I need improvement. :-) I hope everyone else had better luck with this challenge than I…
-
awesome guys! We can do it! :-)

Definitely take it easy. Do you have a high school that has an open swim time? Swimming is always a good exercise when you have any kind of body or joint injury.

Friday's challenge complete with my Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD - Level 1. (My butt is still sore from No More Trouble Zones to do any higher level than 1 lol) What's Saturday's challenge?
-
Right on! Let's do this.
-
Awww shucks! I just did Jillian Michaels "No More Trouble Zones" dvd last night. I usually like to wait a few days in between so my muscles don't hurt so much. (That's the harder video I have of hers). I was planning on doing her "30-day shred" video on Friday. Still a good workout! I'll see if maybe I can do a little more.
-
I personally do Jillian Michaels DVDs. I have 3 of her DVDs, she's a crazy woman, but she will make you ache. I have her 40 minute "No More Trouble Zones" and her 20 minute "30 Day Shred" which are both good for strength training. Circuit training is really good because it not only strengthens but burns fat efficiently for…

Hi Everyone! My name is Stephanie. I currently live in Hastings, MI. I was always pretty healthy, never stick-skinny, but "healthy". I weighed 125 as a senior in high school, always had a butt, which I don't intend to lose my curvyness. I was still 135 as of six years ago, but since then, my weight started gaining, even…
-
That's a really good idea!!!! I wish I had thought of that.

I can get through today with no candy since I'll be running around busy until probably 10:00 or later tonight. I did get a Biggby coffee for breakfast which has 343 calories, but that's my entire breakfast and I won't have a real dinner tonight. I have a fruit and grain bar instead. Too much running around (outside the…

I'm in! That will definitely get me closer to my goal! We can do it!!! :-D

Recently, my biggest cut was this very website's BMI calculator. It said my BMI was 33 which is "Obese". Obese? ohhhhhh I thought I was just overweight. :-( boooooooo! Anyway, I'm new here, and I'm really really impressed with the progress so many of you have made. You're all my heroes, keep up the great work! I'll get…

I'm soooo sorry but I have to admit that cracked me up. I think in the store I would have done something like this: "hahahahahaha! ...... ohhhhhhhhh......."
