Wow I just realized I haven't added here in a while! Starting weight - 216 (218 beginning of August when I joined MFP), initial Goal 180 Waist (at belly button): 42.5 inches Thigh: 25.5 inches Arm: 13.25 inches Day 14 checkin (I took weight before my workout and measurements after, not sure if that has any impact): Weight:…

Great job ladies! I'm up and at 'em. Getting ready to feed little man breakfast then have him hold my feet for me while I do some ab work! After our VERY busy morning topped off by a birthday party for one of his friends, I plan to take him to either the new trail I walked yesterday or back to the track at the middle…

I hate the days I work in the office because I never get into the boards until nighttime! Everyone did great today! I got one of the girls on my team to walk for a mile and a half at work with me today. After work I explored that new trail I found (the one I wanted to start my running on with the beautiful leaves changing)…

Hey there everyone! Just got back from a walk with little man. I woke up late this morning so we didn't get to go out before the school bus today. Going to do a little ab workout, but then I think I'm going to call it quits for the night. I did 10,000 steps yesterday for our Get Active challenge at work and I don't want to…

Good morning all! Yesterday I started a new routine where I woke my poor son up early so that we were outside 15 minutes before the bus came and did nothing but walk up and down our block until it came. Did that again today and once he got on I again continued walking on my own for just shy of another 15 minutes until my…

I agree with both posters. I've had my crock pot for YEARS and love it. You definitely want one with a digital clock on it if you can, just makes it easier to see how much time is left and also those usually have four settings as opposed to the dial which usually only has two. But really you can't go wrong and definitely…

I love using my HRM, so worth the investment! Today is a work from home day, so makes it a little easier to take a couple short walks throughout the day instead of pressuring myself to get it all done at once. Went out one time this morning...sick that I am eagerly awaiting lunchtime so I can go out again lol. Still not…

Hello all of my lovely 90 Day Challenge ladies! I'm so happy to be going on this journey with you all. :-) I got my mini workout in today (which got interrupted by my mommy stopping by to see how I was feeling lol). But still did decent at my half hour of walking on the crutches. I had to do some painful dental work today,…

Great job Tanya! I went out last night on the crutches and that seemed to go well, so I'm going to give it another shot today. My weigh in was this morning, 1 pound down. It's my smallest loss so far in this challenge, but it's still a loss so I'm happy! I have a feeling I'll have to get used to that for the next several…

what did you decide to go with? :-) So I went on my neighbor's treadmill this morning...pretty sore, so that was dumb lol. I did check out one store for the bike trainer, but they won't be in stock until November when it starts getting colder. :-( I'll check out the bike shop during the week. So because I'm a stubborn…

So I went to Ortho and found out I have a stress fracture that will take about 6 weeks to heal. So bummed. However, when I went last time and we thought it was just a sprain I sulked and went for ice cream. This time I went straight to the gym and did the stationary bike since I'm cleared to do that. I think that's a…

Sounds like a fun weekend! I just got my son off on the bus to school and did a few laps around my complex. I have my appointment with the orthopedic doctor at 10 and hopefully he gives me the all clear since I've been working out anyway lol. then off to the gym for a bit before working the second half of the day at work.…

So I avoided an audience by walking and jogging a little through the trails in the woods by my house today. I made an effort to jog/run for at least a part of every song that played on Pandora while I was out, and that was after running through the parking lot and down the trail to enter into the woods. So not as much…

Hey, you did part of it and I think that is a really big accomplishment. Great dedication! I'm going to walk once my little man is on the bus. If I feel brave I may try running intervals, but people watching makes me nervous lol!

OMG I did it!!! I RAN for a bit on the treadmill today!!!! Total time on the treadmill was 35 minutes. I ran for three different intervals during that time, 4 minutes, 5 minutes, and 4.5 minutes. The rest I walked at a good speed too. I am so proud of myself!!!! I'm posting this on my wall too. I haven't done that in a…

Nice job ladies! My lunchtime meeting got cancelled so now I can go to the gym a little bit earlier! Woo hoo. I'm excited to test out my knee and try jogging a bit on the treadmill to see how it goes! I'll also be going for a walk later on too! Have a great day!

Did I really not check in today? LOL So I had an awesome moment at work when a girl who I haven't seen in a few weeks leaned over my cube and said...I can really see that you've lost weight, you look great good job! Such an awesome feeling. I'm also feeling pretty worn out from coughing all day - but I think this sinus…

Feeling like I can't catch a break lol - this cold/sinus thing is kicking my butt (from a breathing standpoint) but I still got one walk in this morning and plan to do another around lunchtime. Back to School night is tonight so I was worried about not getting one in. Last night I went just a little (less than 40) calories…

Thanks!!!!! So excited!

Tanya, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident, but also glad to hear that you walked away. Best of luck to you in your recovery, and hope to hear from you again when you are healed mind and body!

Have a great day! I'm getting little man ready so we can head out to the apple orchard today! So excited! Then home for some baking (pies and homemade applesauce) and the rest of the day is ours to go hiking or walking. It's supposed to be nice here in Jersey so I want to make the most of it!

Hello all! I finally stopped sneezing long enough to write a message lol. Stupid cold. Great job to everyone so far, I can't believe how far we've come already! I'm super anxious to get to Sunday morning for weigh in day, I keep cheat peeking so it looks like it's going well, but you never know! :-) Overall I'm feeling…

Don't panic you may have just aggravated it a bit. BUT that said - take it easy and let it heal up. My problem was that I kept working out on it hard for another week and a half and that's why I am in the boat I am in. I'm probably going to back out of the squat challenge but hop back in for the abs. If your knee is still…

Good lord I thought I was up early! ;-) Morning all! I'm about to make the schlep off to my MRI. I have been doing a good job with packing my lunch box with all of my daily snacks the night before, but I didn't make an actual lunch item, so I'm just going to grab Subway. I'm also going to pack my workout clothes and…

You know me, my friend. I loved the Shred. But bad form and a little spill and now my knee is out of the shred mindset. However, I did do it for just over two weeks and it really kicked butt on jumping up my weight loss as well as losing off my waistline. It's perfect from a time perspective because I could squeeze 20…

Rhenee I'll be thinking about you both - sending good thoughts your way. As for me, I got home from the PTO meeting WAAAY later than expected and am just now (11pm) getting back from my walk. It's FREEZING here tonight! I would have gone a little longer. Now I need to do crunches or something to burn the 19 calories I…

Good morning everyone! I "cheated" and looked at the scale today, still moving downwards!!! Another couple of weeks and I should be in ONEderland! Today is going to be a challenge getting my walk in. I am about to leave for work and I will be non stop between that, picking up little man, dropping him off to grandpa, then…

I can't believe we are so far into this challenge already! Time is flying by!!! I will be walking later tonight when I get home. I miss doing the DVD, but I miss healthy knees too lol. Great job to everyone so far and keep up the great and amazing work!

Hoping for a quick heal Lisa! I am super pleased with my loss this week (weight AND inches) and motivated to keep on moving in the right direction. This week will be the first full week with no Shred DVD (or any DVD for that matter) and just my walking (at a lower speed for now), but I'm hopeful that the following week,…

It is a gorgeous day here in NJ! It was just too tempting to resist going out for a walk. I took it easy and slow wearing a knee brace for support. My goal for this week is to stay within my calories, and get in at least 300 burned calories per day somehow (whether doing the sitting exercises I started or going out for a…
