Hey everyone, sorry for being MIA. Skittles, have a fantastic cruise! Looking forward to hearing all about it. :drinker: Unknown, don't give up. I know it is hard, especially when the scales goes up, but it will come down so keep putting in the hard work. My first month of exercising and eating at a deficit I lost nothing…

Hi ourlostprophet, welcome to the group! I'm around the same weight as you, and I'm looking forward to being under 300lbs again too! They are great exercise goals for the month. MFP is a great tool for weight loss. It has really helped me, and I hope it will help you too. :flowerforyou: Unknown - how are things with you?…

@unknown - that's a pain! I hope you post again soon, it is good to know the zombies didn't get you! @Skittles - good luck with your hard class tonight. I got the batteries for my balance board, so I'm going to set it up tomorrow. I'm getting fed up of walking around my house! lol.

Thanks Skittles. I love swimming. That will be great if you can go 4 times a week. Sadie, Star, Unknown, come back!!! Have the zombies got you?

I know! :sad:

Both those classes sound great, Skittles. Exhausting, challenging, but fun! I'm exhausted at the moment. I think it is my depression. It gets worse in the summer. So draining. I got strength training and a walk in so far today, will probably do more walking this evening.

Ha!ha! We'll see about that, Skittles! :laugh: Yes, being active is certainly hard work! Good luck at beating the girl on fitbit. I know you can do it! :drinker:

Skittles - You are doing awesome, as always! You are right, it isn't a race, but it is hard to see that sometimes. I haven't tried the wii yet, I need batteries for my balance board. I hope it still works! That's great your hubby joined MFP. He should see that it works, because you are doing so great. MFP has really…

Unknown - one day at a time, even one minute at a time is how I keep going. Good luck getting through this difficult time. You're doing great. And I hope the pizza was nice! Skittles - super impressed as always. Good idea about getting a small pizza. Problem is, I don't really want pizza I want the comfort a large meat…

Hi skittles. Yes I had my nap and got my 10k steps in! Cardio kick sounds fun! You will got rid of those 27lbs by July if not sooner! Sadie - how did the visit with your uncle go? Star - are you energized by your great trip or exhausted? Unknown - how are things with you? Have you made it to the gym? I had serious pizza…

LOVE the pics Star! Sounds like a great fun weekend.

Thanks Skittles. :flowerforyou: I hope you're feeling better today. Don't worry about the 30ds til you're back on form, then you will attack it with your usual beast mode. :smile: congrats on losing 1lb. It's a great loss but I know what you mean about wishing it was more. I'm grateful every week I lose, but I can't help…

Thanks Skittles. Yes, we will both be in the 200's real soon! :drinker: I'm not on level 3 of the 30ds yet, but I want to complete 10 days of all three levels. I'll be there soon! Oh, and my abs were so sore last week, I feel your pain! Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks Unknown. :flowerforyou: I hope things improve for you soon with your stressful situation. Hugs.

My exercise challenge for May is to complete all 30 days and 3 levels of the 30 day shred. Walk 10,000 steps everyday and strength training for at least 30 minutes three times a week. I hit 80lbs lost this week. That's 20% of my starting body weight gone. I'm only 28lbs away from leaving the 300's. I want to make as big a…

@Sadie - Thank you. :flowerforyou: I hope you get to see your uncle soon. Hugs. @Star - Thank you :flowerforyou: Wow, you have been busy! That's great you are learning how to use the machines at the gym. It sounds like he is like having a personal trainer! :laugh: Have fun camping and going whitewater rafting. I'm sure…

Yay Angi! :drinker: Maybe you should give the running a miss this week. You need to rest your foot and you are killing it at crossfit! Yesterday I did strength training, 30ds and loads of walking.

Thanks Angi. :) Yeah, I know Skittles, I miss this challenge. Yesterday was kickboxing, 30DS and walking. Today is strength training, 30DS and running my dog. Have a great day everyone!

@Skittles - you are rocking it! I'm glad your mouth isn't too sore this time. @Unknown - That's great your hand is all better and you could do weights at the gym! :drinker: Star and Sadie, how is your week going? I must be working hard this week because I can really feel it in my abdominal muscles! 30DS for me today, as…

I'm sorry your uncle isn't well, Sadie. :flowerforyou: I'm very impressed at his age! I hope the visit goes well. Good job on thinking of the healthy snacks. My weekend went ok. I'm feeling more in form for getting back into exercise this week. I started the 30 day shred today and I got my strength training done too and I…

Great plan TJ! :drinker: Good luck with crossfit, Angi! :drinker: My plan for this week is to do the 30 day shred as many days as possible, strength training three times, kick boxing, stretching and run my dog at least every second day. Today I ran my dog for 20 minutes and popped him over some jumps and the seesaw too. I…

Good luck, Skittles! I hope it goes well and you have a speedy recovery. Hugs.

I got the cardio but not the strength last week as well. Any idea for challenges this week? A strength challenge sounds good.

Star - wow! So impressed with your workout date. You have to post a pic of your man. He sounds great. Sadie - you're doing great. I did some walking and strength training today. First time back to the dumbbells in 2 weeks. Went up to 30lbs and was able to reach lower in my dead lift so really pleased. Skittles - OMG! You…

@Star - I love the new pic, Star. I agree with everyone, you are looking smokin'! I hope the dating is going well. He sounds really nice. @Skittles - Wow! Big difference in your pics. You are the incredible shrinking woman! You will be riding those coasters soon. It took me about 50 - 60lbs gone before I noticed it in my…

@Unknown - I'm sorry things have been tough for you this week. Skittles is right, listen to your doctor and your body, and happy healing! I know it is really hard when you can't workout. Hasfit has got seated workouts that you might be able to do, but there are a lot of punches and curls so I don't know if you can do that…

Hi Stormy. I started at over 400lbs. I didn't have any spinal injuries, but I could only stand for a few minutes or walk a short distance before my back ached. Sitting was painful, even lying down was uncomfortable. I was in pain and tired all the time. I was gasping for breath just doing any basic activity. I started just…

I have really coasted this week, so I have three days to get my totals up for the challenge! 115/300 cardio and 20/90 strength training. The mini-challenge runs Monday to Sunday, Angi :smile:

Thank you, Sadie :flowerforyou: I can't believe you had snow!!!! Unknown - that's a pain about the GC! Your son must have been really disappointed when he went down to the van. I'm sure you'll get it sorted. Skittles and Star, how are things with you both today? Another bad day for me, but I'm keeping on keeping on!

@Star - :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: AWESOME!!!!! Way to go! Wow! You are rocking that tri suit! So proud of you! :drinker: :drinker: @Skittles - Yay! Congrats on your loss. I know what you mean about the 40lbs mark, but you will get there next week. @Unknown - Great idea to reset your goals! @Sadie - Sadie Rose and Calla…
