So this has been a frustrating journey for me so far. I work my butt off, eat right, and get poor results. Some of you may know that I actually almost gave up a couple of weeks ago. I am still hanging in there though. I can't do much more than eat right and exercise. I have gone from 2 and 3 hours in the gym to at least 30…

Boo. I stayed exactly the same as last week. At least its not a gain!

Woohoo! I am down a little. Not really sure what to do at this point...my dietitian has studied my exercise and diet habits and says that I am doing everything right. She did tell me to try to mix up the calorie levels that I'm at so I guess I will be playing with that for the next month and see what it does. I feel like a…

Still going downward, albeit slowly! Down 0.8 this week to 191.2. So close to the 180's!

Oh Krys_T... I have gotten so much from this challenge that I could not even begin to post it all on here. I have gotten to know some great women, I've gotten support, I've gained some self-esteem and realized that I am a lot stronger than I give myself credit for. In addition, I've learned quite a bit about nutrition. You…

Down 0.6 and TOM is here so I guess I will smile and take it!

Congratulations on quitting the smoking habit! Just keep going one day at a time! I had to tell myself that if I really want a smoke I have to wait 15 minutes... then I got busy doing something else...pretty soon I was saying just one day without a smoke... I quit cold-turkey a year and a half ago and feel so much better!…

Well this past week was pretty bad...I didn't eat and when I did it wasn't always the healthiest. I was between 1000-1200 calories for the last two weeks just like my dietitian wanted and I stayed exactly the same. I also didn't exercise like normal since I was sick with strep. :cry: Anyway, feeling better now and ready to…

Okay so I am exactly the same this week as I was last week. I'll take it! I was sick and didn't eat right and I didn't exercise much.

I have the Wii Fit, Wii EA Active, Personal Trainer, Wii Sports and I love Just Dance and Just Dance 2! Stick with it, really push yourself and yes you can see results. The personal trainer isn't as much fun as the sports and dancing. She basically gives you a workout like a personal trainer would. The workouts involve…

Okay so I am down 1.2 pounds. Pretty happy about that! However, I haven't been working out like I normally do because I feel like poopie! I got whatever bug that's going around so that may be why I've lost weight too. On the plus side I have lost a couple more inches too though!

Woohoo! Down 1.2 pounds to 192.6...180's here I come!

Well ladies I've been slacking this week. I went out of town for the weekend (at least I kept up with my food journal!) and came home sick :( I have completely lost my voice and haven't really gotten on my computer except to log my food. My goals for this week are: 1. Always take my vitamins. 2. Change up my cardio and my…

Okay so I weighed in last Friday, and I know I was up .5 a pound or so but can't remember my actual weight. I'm not sure why I gained...stress maybe? Or maybe just a little different time of day. Who knows?? At least it wasn't as much as I've had! Not really going to worry about it...just continue doing what I'm supposed…

bump for later...

bump for later :)

Okay, so I am stoked! I've been struggling with losing weight since we started this challenge but now maybe I am finally seeing a downward trend. I missed a couple of workout days last week due to not feeling good, but I'm not going to sweat it since I usually work out everyday. I am adding a lot more veggies to the diet…

Woohoo! I'm down 1.6 pounds to 193.2. TOM is also here, so I am stoked!

This is so cool to see how everyone is progressing! Everyone has changed their shape, whether minor differences or some people have more dramatic differences. Congratulations to everyone that has worked so hard to get here!

So obviously my pictures didn't show up. Anyone know how to make them? They are on my hard drive and my profile. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Wow Amanda! You look great! Whatever you are doing, its working!

If you google couch to 5K you can find a treadmill version and a regular version. It is basically a program to get you off the couch and prepared to run a 5K. Its hard, but I have seen a huge improvement in my fitness level.

Girl, you and I have both been having problems along the way with this journey. I have to say though, that the things you said really woke me up a little. I was expecting to start working out and lose all the weight I wanted within just a couple months. A little unrealistic maybe but that is what I wanted and expected.…

Well guys... I can't believe I am still here and haven't given up yet. I've had a rough time of it and I am definitely not where I want to be at this point. However, I am down some, which is better than up some! I have learned that I don't eat so many calories at night if I snack throughout the day, I have found that I…

Okay guys... I am down to 194.8 a loss of 0.8 pounds from last week. The weight sure is coming off slow. My measurements when I started: Chest 41; Waist 37; Hips 47; Thighs 29. Today (after a slight gain): Chest 40; Waist 35.25; Hips 46, Thighs 27.75. I'm afraid to post the pictures, I don't see much difference. I am…

1. My eyes 2. My sense of fair play 3. My perseverance

Hello ladies! Well I am down again this week, now I weigh exactly what I weighed the week before last,. I am looking forward to the 180's...I am so bored with seeing the 190's on that scale! Currently, I am working with a dietitian and she upped my calories to between 1600 and 1800 (total) each day. I'm a little worried…

Well I am down 2.4 pounds from last week, which is EXACTLY where I was the week before. I sure would like to hit that 10 pound lost mark. Still working hard...I can't believe we are nearly at the half way mark. I am just happy to still be here considering all the times I've wanted to give up.

I think my fears are pretty much the same as everyone else... that I won't ever meet my goal. I do have to say though, you guys keep me going. I had a lousy week last week and was so tempted to just throw my hands in the air and say "what am I doing this for." Yes I want to fit in my clothes again, set the example for my…
