On my 2013 To Do List: 1. get my passport 2. get my concealed weapons permit 3. continue current work out schedule (weights/cardio with trainer 3x week, Zumba 4x week, bootcamp 1x week) 4. pilates 1x a week on Friday nights 5. nightly stretching routine to help promote better sleep 6. take my medication as prescribed (I…

That is awesome! Congrats! :happy:

MYSCHELLE: Starting Wt 175.3 CW 177.8 (up 2.5) UPDATE! Today I weighed in at 170.0! WHOOT WHOO! I'm VERY happy about this! Working hard to keep my momentum going.

Scale died last week, must get a new one! Will update progress when I do.

I'm grateful for a husband who supports me in my fitness goals, a wonderful small-gym, a trainer who is also an RN who pushes me to my limits and reasonably priced, a great gym buddy who makes my 5:45am workouts entertaining, an energetic Zumba instructor who always keeps it fun, a flexible work schedule that allows me to…

It is completely possible the Lipitor is putting the weight on. Maybe check with your doctor and print out your logs from here to show him what you are doing? Good luck!

@Mommyofseven....Not pittiful, just real. Everyone needs a place to get it all out. Here is a great place, I think that's one reason this board was created. I'm also frustrated, not loosing, in fact have hit my heaviest weight ever! BUT, it's really my own fault. With all my good intentions I've been really BAD! Last week…

life was simplier, less complicated, less demanding, and there was more time to workout! (I really enjoy working out, it's a great mood lifter, even if I'm not seeing the scale move).

Thanks for the encouragement and great suggestions. I will def. implement a few of these I'm not already using/doing.

UGH! :explode: (I don't get it! Eating more veggies, really trying to make good choices, eating more on a schedule and smaller meals, starting dinner with a salad, continuing training and Zumba.....WHAT THE HECK?) Starting Weight ~ 175.3 Current Weight ~ 177.8 Goal Weight ~ 165.3

Good morning. Lots of doctor appointments lately (bone density tomorrow). Talk of iron infusions, will know for sure on 3/28. How about you? I'm still loving my 3x weekly training sessions, "Steve-the-trainer" has really been stepping things up and pushing us with cardio-bursts and some serious circuit training. Mondays…

Stay will it, 10 pounds in 4 months is pretty good! Try more fiber by eating fresh foods and cutting out sugar and processed foods as much as possible.

:flowerforyou: WHOOT! WHOOT! NSV's are important, I forget that. My scale WILL NOT budge, but even though I've gained 20+ pounds over six months (due to medication issues) I still wear the same size (due to weight training and Zumba!). I guess that's a NSV as well. Thanks for the reminder and CONGRATS to all for their NSVs!

Advice: Just feel the music and have fun! It's about moving! Once you do that the rest will come, I promise. My instructor lost 80 lbs doing only Zumba. Let us know how you felt after the class!

Welcome Tracee3! My friends think I'm nuts too! I've TRIED to convince my hubby to come to a class (we actually have about 3 or 4 hubbies that come from time to time). Our Zumba Class is in the Mardi Gras parade tonight downtown Leesburg, Florida. Do you go to a class or use home videos/games? I think I want a video game…

Welcome. I've never worked with a message board before, so I'm very new on how to moderate this, so thank you in advance for your patience with me. Where do you teach? I love our instructor, she is so much fun! Zumba is amazing! I'm completely challenged and uncoordinated, but I love it so much! It's hard not to have fun…

I'm sending you an invite now! I'm TOTALLY addicted to pintrest. (BTW, I'm a Myschelle Renee too....):smile:

GREAT IDEA! So simple, and I never considered it! I could even add veggies to their meatballs....inspired. Leave it to a mom of 7 to be so creative. Thanks!

Yep. That's a sneaky idea (love it!), NOW, how to get them to eat soup???? Picky little people aren't they!

That's a lot going on! Hang in there.

GREAT Q! That has been on my mind too. On cardio days, I have wiggle room, but still try to stay at my 1200 cal allowance. On weights days I'm much hungrier, I don't see how to get my calories burned from lifting, so I tend to be a smidge over the 1200 on those days....anyone have thoughts on that?

I carry mine from my knees to my hips. BAM! There it is! :wink:

WOW!

I'm Myschelle. I'm a 41-year old mom to three teenage boys and step-mom to two teenage girls. I was diagnosed with FM about 7 months ago, after ruling out lupus and thyroid issues. I had a hystorectomy at age 32, my hormones are in check. I keep blood in my urine and also trace amounts of proteins. I have always been…

Fingers crossed and praying for you!

AMEN! I feel the same way! Even had my GYN tell my "you're over 40, that's what happens", I wanted to kick him. That was not a valid answer to my question about what to do about what to do about it! Hang in there! We are making ourselves healthier even if the scale doesn't reflect it! I really want to throw my scale some…

TOO MUCH protein can also be hard on your liver if your liver functions are down. Follow up with your doctor for annual blood work to make sure everything is functioning as it should. Too many people skip their physicals. I'm having some difficulty figuring out the under calorie thing as well though. Is it better to be…
