I did 20 minutes of tushy toning. I hope it is working.

Doing some great plank moves from my sis' Prevention kickboxing DVD. Really working my core!!!!!! It feels good to accomplish these planks.

As I expected, the scale revealed a high number: 137.2. Bummer. What's weird is I don't feel bigger by 5 pounds. My waist is the same, my water content in my body has gone up slightly which is good. My metabolic age is still 44 even though chronologically I am 52. Maybe my body is readjusting itself. I'll have to see if…

I know tomorrow is weigh in day and I'm not looking forward to it.:frown: After having that nice unexpected large weight loss in a week, I went back up and then some. :explode: So tomorrow morning will be an interesting weigh in.:glasses: I am starting to play with my calorie intake based on time of day. Perhaps if I eat…

Love my new butt lift DVD from 10 minute solutions. I only got through 30 minutes of it but (HAHA) I'll be sore tomorrow. I can feel it already. My hubby said there is definition in my arms and back. Yeah! The strength training is working.

Lost 3 pounds this week. Not expecting that because I ate all my food, drank my water, ..... Down to 133.2. My goal is ultimate goal is 125 which will get me firmly into the normal BMI. Workout 30-50 minutes per day, cardio and strength with one day off per week. Meditation twice per week. Drink at least 64 oz. of water…

so how does it really taste?

Biker JW, Would you mind describing this simple diet? CindyLu1962

This is from a fitness magazine. Getting the Scale to Budge If you still feel you could stand to lose the last 10, experts agree you need to change things up (and not, as I did, optimistically stay the course). Here are four strategies. Scrutinize your diet. It's likely you've become a little loose with your program, Beck…

Now that we all know our woes of trying to get the last pounds off and to stay off, has anyone done any research on the matter so we can achieve our goals? I am going to look some up and share. I hope you'll do the same. I'm always interested in what healthy ways we can reach our goals. So please share anything you have…

Get all your ducks in a row!

I'm at 59 pounds down since April 2013 but I seem to be stuck for these last 7-15 pounds. I'm just above the normal BMI and want to get firmly planted in it. Lately, it's been Up a 1/2, down a 1/2, up 1, down 1.5.... It's crazy. Healthy tips on how to get these last pounds off would be much appreciated.

I have a friend who does that and it works real well. She's just sick of the amount of washing she needs to do. Oh, well.

I started a new challenge for the Die Hards. Please join us. It starts 2-15-14. Look up New Groups: Die Hards Winter to Spring Challenge 2014.

Has anyone heard of the waist to hip ratio? http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/waist-to-hip-ratio Mine said: Results: You have a waist to hip ratio of 0.89. The information you entered: Sex = Female, waist = 33 inches and hip = 37 inches. Your shape puts you at increased risk of coronary heart disease, diabetes and…

Hi Laura and our die hard gang! I was out of the country with no access to the internet for the last week so I feel way way out of the loop. Are we doing a formal challenge here? I could use one as I do better with structure. My immediate goal is to lose the cruise weight (not sure yet how much that is because I just got…

Laura, I was more aware of what I was eating and stopped before getting out of control. I didn't have double desserts or heavy breakfasts. It was also a much more active trip physically and I probably burned tons of calories each day. Walking, swimming, walking, swimming, swimming........Kayaking, swimming.... Today I…

Weighed in today as we usually do on Fridays. I wasn't too thrilled to get on the scale because I ate out 3 days in a row and there was lots of tempting chocolate at work. I had some chocolate but it adds up too quickly. The great news is I lost more weight: down to 140.4. 0.2 pounds until I hit the big 55!!!!!!!!! I am…

Okishkash, How's it going this week? Are you posting your diary? I do. It makes me more accountable and I also like to get suggestions from what others are eating and doing. It's pretty obvious to me that if I don't exercise hard, the weight won't come off. I need ALL MY DUCKS IN A ROW for success.

Glad you are back to the group. We missed you! Please let us encourage you and vice versa.

Did my usual Friday weigh-in today. 143.0!!!!!!! That's 52.2 pounds since April. I am in desperate need of new bras. I had to stuff the left one with kleenex yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mind you, some of the issue is that the reconstruction from the mastectomy didn't make my left side as full, but with the weight loss I am…

Did the 10 minute solution: high intensity interval training yesterday. I am soooooo sore today, especially in the triceps. I was glad to complete the DVD for the first time since I received it and I'm kind of glad I can feel the work paying off. There are no weights used except for your own body. I have plenty of body…

unaisha, thanks for the recipe. i will try it.:happy:

My Monday morning yoga instructor had a weekend class for yoga instructors. Needless to say, we did a lot of new things today. My balance wasn't good today. Some days are off. But it was challenging and I am sore tonight. We did a lot of hip and back work focusing on form. Holding up my arms and head in correct alignment…

To Katie49, Glad it wasn't worse. A friend of mine did the same thing but broke her wrist and was lying in the street for 30 minutes before someone found her. Perhaps your weight loss and strength conditioning helped you make a potentially worse injury, one that was minor. Keep up the good work.:flowerforyou:

I like it too. I just don't know if it's possible for me to lose 25 in 3 months. I should still get close though. I'm in

I am sooooo sad. I am missing everyone. I had to join another group - its a 15 week Valentine's Day challenge to get motiviated. The problem is no one is encouraging me or commenting on my posts. Now I am super sad. Please let's get back on track and start our group again. We are worth it.

Ok guys! My body is on a roll again. Total scale loss: 50.4 pounds. Let's get back together so we can all get some encouragement and WTG's ! :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

Sodium stinks! Off to the gym.
