thanks again everyone.

:smooched: :smile: :blushing: Thanks everyone! You're making my day.

Thanks again for all your nice comments.

Thanks everyone! :flowerforyou:

Which ever one of these happen first! weight between 145-150lbs body fat between 20-24% according to online calculations or 18-22% on my home scale which reads low wear a size 8/10 jeans

LOL!! That's me exactly! 5'10", small frame, currently 158lbs, highest was around 185-190lbs, wear a size 12 jeans and would loooooove a size 8 (and then I wouldn't care what the scale says. Main goal is less body fat....would love to be in the low 20's.

thanks! I'm a "wham, bam, thank you maam" kinda girl and and looking for the best bang for my buck and want to get out of the gym as quickly as possible most of the time.

I'm back down to the same weight I was in October! Managed to loose all the stress/holiday weight I put on. I'm even ahead of the game....usually it takes me till at least late April/May to get back down. (Yes, it is a regular trend for me) But I'm not stopping here! This year I REALLY want to get down to my goal weight!…

Oh yeah....and he can eat anything and everything and not gain an ounce (unfortunately this is all mostly because he is the energizer bunny and has a form of Muscular Dystrophy) His favorite meal would be beer battered fish sandwiches with fried onion rings and deep fried zuchinni for a veggie!! ANd of course, since this…

DITTO!!! Hubby is 125 soaking wet at 5'9" and I'm 5'10" and 160. I know how you feel!

Lots of great info everyone. Thanks so much for sharing! :0) It's going to be a nice day here today, so I think I will try my week4/day3 outside and make my 10 year old daughter do it with me. Let's see how that works! LOL!! She's the one who got me doing c25K because she wants to do some 5K's this spring.

LOL!! :laugh: I won't!

OK, thanks everyone. I'm about average then. I started the first 3 weeks at walking 3.7 and jog at 4.5 (I have long legs) This past week I had to go down so that I could do the whole 5 mins of jogging, walk at 3.5 and jog (3mins) at 4.5 and (5mins) at 4. no incline It just feels so slow to me...especially when I see others…

[/quote] Vodka for everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/quote] I think I'm 3rd generation Ukrainian in the US. My dad always laughed and said that our last name meant "Happy Drunk" in Ukrainian. Not sure if he is correct....but I do love me some VODKA!

:heart: :heart: :heart: You are so loved!! :heart: :heart: :heart: Have a great day and happy birthday!

I guess I'll play too! <my 25.5"

5' 10" 160lbs waist 29 hips 42.5 I would love to get my hips below 40 also!

<--- not only have I been loosing weight on MFP....but I've lost about 25 years too!!

Well....yesterday I made caramel and candy coated apple slices and chocolate chip cookie dough dip. Hey.....at least they are apples but I really, really shouldn't be eating this dip with a spoon.

I agree with all of the above! Protein and a crockpot are lifesavers. Include kiddos in meal planning (home ec) and plan your meals at least a week at a time so you are prepared and not overwhelmed at 3:30. Include them in exercising (PE), my daughter and I both have a goal to run a 5K in the spring. Make the older kids…

there is nothing for me to add...everyone has already said it! WOW!

thanks ladies!

OK, time to get on the ball and start stage 3 today. I took a loooong (3week) break after stage 2 and just worked on maintaining...but didn't get to the gym much at all...just tried to stay active daily. I'm excited to get back to the lifting though. Any wise words???

I'm 38 and most people think I'm younger (and weigh less than I actually do, LOL!!)

thanks again!

Just finished stage 2 this week. Here are my results: Started 6/11 to 7/2 with average of 3x a week A Front squat push press 45lb oly bar...only 2sets of 6 -> oly bar 1 set of 10, 2sets of 5 step ups with 5 risers 2/25lb dumbells -> 2/30lb dumbell one pointed row 2/15lb dumbells -> 2/25lb static lunge with 1 riser 2/15lb…

I've heard of the foam rollers, will need to look into them. But it's not the back of my leg that hurts, it's the big muscle in the front. And when I lunge, it hurts whichever leg is in the back position.

You look great!! Keep up the good work.

Congratulations!! You are an amazing inspiration!
