wow!!! Great job!!! You look amazing!

Sounds like shin splints... I get them too... I usually work through it but stretching them out helps. When I got them in high school the doc told me to use a heavy duty elastic ( I used a fitness band) put part of it under a chair leg or something similar and pull back with your feet to strengthen them. Sorry, it's hard…

You might want to find some positive friends! You don't need to hear that you are getting big from anybody! We are our own worst critics... mirgss is absolutely right, we ALL have bad times! You just gotta push through it. I know it's hard but you just need to talk yourself into taking that walk or going to the gym or…

Good morning ladies! Hope you all do wonderfully well on the scale this am! I unfortunately have stayed the same. 199.6 Oh well! Better luck next week for me! :smile:

You look amazing!!! Keep up the good work!:happy:

I live in Maine also! I too am a sahm, with 2 girls! Add me if you'd like! Good luck!:smile:

:bigsmile: Haven't really noticed the arm pit area... but good for you!!! And I loved the Bueller part of your post! Bueller... Bueller... Bueller.... lol now it's stuck in my head!

Love Zumba! Especially in a class setting! I started doing Zumba when I weighed about 210. It does get intense but you can pretty much go at your own pace. Most of the instructors will tell you to just keep moving! I highly recommend it! I also have the game for the Wii but prefer a class! :bigsmile:

I'm in Maine!

Thanks for posting this!

Great job!

i log it as dancing, aerobic, ballet or modern... something like that...

These are hilarious! Great topic! I dance in the car and my 11 yo daughter gets soooo embarassed! My 5yo however, fully enjoys it and dances along with me! :smile:

I wouldn't push yourself too hard at first because you will end up giving up. So if you feel like you're getting a good burn, then stick with what's comfortable... for now anyways!

Your story is very touching to me... My daughter is 11 and she could stand to lose probably about 20 lbs, so right now, she isn't to an extreme, but I worry everyday that she will follow down the same path that I had traveled and struggle with her weight her entire life. I'm trying to teach her healthy habits and explain…

have u filled in any exercise yet? Your calorie allowance will increase when you do so!

Love that dark chocolate made the list!!! :bigsmile:

:happy: Great job!

In the 5ish weeks that I've been on here, I've lost half of what that estimated... Still losing though!

I didn't really go down in bra size... just strap size! I went up in cup size! lol

I use the general rule of thumb that each average sized grape has about 4 calories.. It's something I read online but I'm not entirely sure how accurate it is.

3/1 - 202 3/8 - 200.5 3/15 199.6 0.9 lbs! still a loss and I made it to ONE-derland!

Looking forward to this challenge! Goals for the week are drink at least 8 cups of water everyday, get on my elliptical at least 3 times this week, go to Zumba, and be proud of what I accomplish regardless of what the scale says! Good luck everybody!!!

Wow!!! Great job!!!

I battle with myself in my head... Usually the motivated me wins, but occasional the lazy girl wins... :tongue:

I totally agree! That is ridiculous!

I hiked up Mt. Sunapee last 4th of July! It's a good hike!

Thank you all so much! I am proud of it but I honestly think I am thinking about the long road that still lies ahead, I'm a bit impatient... Thank you for the encouragement though! It really does help to read it! You are all awesome! :happy:

Impressive! Great job!!

Do you want our heights too? If so... I'm 5'2 and again, my current weight is 199.6 Thanks!
