You've done an amazing job. Fantastic transformation!!!!

Looks like you're really working hard at it again. It's fun to workout with your spouse and it's fun to encourage each other too! Keep us posted on the marathon. In the meantime, you and your golden retriever are gonna have some great times out there on the road. I know he's happy to be outside with his mommy! Y'all have…

It's great to see you on here again ladies! I really did miss you, and I want you to be able to succeed in your efforts and goals. You can do ANYTHING that you set your mind to. Sure, we will all have ups and downs, but every day is a new day and it's up to us to get up, get moving, and go get our goals. I'm proud to see…

It looks like I'm going to be changing my goals this month to adjust for my back hurting. I won't be able to do any weightlifting except for maybe some dumbbell exercises in a standing position. No step aerobics, but I can walk...I'm just gonna have to slow my pace even further. You know how it is...I have the "itch" to…

25 pounds lost took me from a very tight 16 to a 14. Another 18 pounds lost took me from a 14 to a 10. Work hard and count those calories. You'll get there before you know it!

I achieved a new personal best record today for walking distance. I walked 10.16 miles at an average pace of 15:35 per mile and I walked an average speed of 3.85 miles per hour. It was not my goal to go for time. Rather, I wanted to try and keep my heart rate in my target heart rate zone for maximum fat burning. I did…

Hang in there girlie! I've been there. In fact, I had hoped that I would be at my goal weight my the end of October. That will not be the case because I'm about 20 pound behind where I wanted to be. In the beginning, my goal was to lose 2 pounds per week. I have had ups and downs with the scale and even inches lost. I have…

Good morning everyone! It's our weigh in day :-) This week, I lost one pound. YAY! I didn't meet all of my goals because I went over on my calories some this week. It happens and I could do better, but it's the choices I made. No biggie! Just get up, get moving, and do it all over again. I hope everyone has a blessed day…

Thanks everyone for all of your encouragement. I appreciate you SO MUCH! Have a blessed day and MOVE YOUR BODY! :-)

YAY! I'm glad you're going to the ball also. Congrats on your weight loss so far. You will be absolutely beautiful too and your husband will be proud to have you on his arm as his "arm candy!" Have a wonderful time celebrating!

YAY! You're doing fantastic!!!! I'm SO PROUD of YOU!!!! You do deserve a pat on the back. Thanks for sharing your NSV with us!

I think this is an absolutely fabulous NSV! It's amazing how our bodies change without even realizing it. Just wait until you're stirring yourself awake in bed in the morning and your run your hands over your midriff, legs or arms, and you don't recognize the person that you're touching is you! You're doing great...you're…

Hi everyone! It is SO GREAT to see all of your posts here today. We are all so busy coming and going, some of us recovering from injuries, and some of us having a hard time with our exercises. However, your posts today really encouraged me because you're still in the fight for a better, healthier YOU! I'm so happy for you!…

You look fantastic and I'm sure you feel great too! Keep up the good work!

Burned 488 calories and 63g of fat today while doing step aerobics. Felt good! How is everyone else doing?

Good Morning Ladies....I didn't get to weigh in yesterday. I got up at 5:30 a.m. on my Saturday to get ready to take my 16 yo son to his advanced drivers class with the sheriff's department. Oh...he had a blast...skid pad, evasive maneuvers and all! Anyway, since it wasn't my usual weigh in time, I thought I'd weigh in…

It's time to start dress shopping for the Marine Corps Birthday Ball! YAY ME!!!! All of this hard work exercising & counting calories that I've put in over the last several months has paid off. I just can't wait until next week when I shop with a friend of mine who is a female Marine. My how times have changed....I used to…

@bayerngirl....I'm sorry, I though you already did the walk, but it's coming up this weekend? I know you'll do an amazing job, so go out there and get 'em! ;-) I shopped today, but didn't do formal exercise. I was honestly so tired from yesterday that I took a nap because I was falling asleep anyway. I took the boys out…

Great day today, just long. I was on my feet for 10.5 hours of food prep and cleaning. We served over 110 people at our church tonight for our youth mission trip fundraiser. We did REALLY well! To God be the glory! Although I had no formal exercise, I burned a lot of calories. I only counted 5 hours worth. No biggie. Hope…

Today we power walked 6.5 miles and I burned 985 calories in 1 hr. 45 minutes. The reason my calories burned today is because I worked out in my aerobic zone for so long. It was a REALLY TOUGH workout! Here are the numbers: 985 calories & 127g of fat burned. Average pace per mile 16:01 minutes. Average speed per mile 3.75…

Hi girls! Sorry I've been so off the grid lately. I'm coming back, though! Thanks to all of you who have prayed for my mom and dad...your prayers are greatly appreciated. Daddy is having a slow go of it...He's like the Iwo Jima and Vietnam vets (he's a Korean War Vet himself), who just amaze me every day. It's tough to…

Hi everyone. I apologize for being so silent the last few days. As you already know, I've been taking care of my dad after his surgery and my mom who has advanced Parkinson's. I have been doing lots of doctor's appointments with them, errands, cooking, cleaning, work, etc. My dad did not have a good day today, in fact it…

Hi everyone. I'm copying and pasting what I put on my wall a few minutes ago. You'll understand why I haven't been very active on MFP this week. I haven't even read your posts but I hope to have time tomorrow.... Thanks for your understanding ;-) I haven't been the greatest friend lately. I'm sorry. Homeschooling has kept…

I'm looking forward to getting back to a normal workout/meal routine tomorrow. Life has been a little crazy this past week! We have some pretty amazing women in this challenge. Despite injuries and other circumstances, we all just keep on keeping on! Good for you. I do caution everyone to be careful and not overdo it…

*****UPDATED BANNER CODE***** Please remove your old code from your signature line and paste the one below instead. Remember to change the uppercase "IMG" at the beginning and end of your code to a lowercase. Welcome Texastae1010! We are glad to have you and look forward to getting to know you better :-D

Hi Ladies...I would like to invite another Army wife (Texastae1010), here to join us. I've had two ladies (cougs12 and Krissykg) inform me that they will not be able to do the RTD challenge at this time. I will update the banner later on today if time permits and give you all the new link to reflect the changes in our…

For those of you who want a neat animated walking ticker to keep track of your walking goals, here's the one I used last month. It was neat to see my person walking along until my goal was reached. Here's the link: http://www.andfam.net/kim/tickerpicker.html

Don't beat yourself up if you didn't meet every single one of your goals.…

Hi ladies. I lost 1.5 pounds since my first post here on the forum last Saturday. My scale has been slow to move lately also, so I was glad to see it go down. I think changing up my workout routine helped with losing weight again. I started evening out my power walks, step aerobics, and weightlifting by doing a more equal…

Good morning ladies! Just stopping by the forum this morning to read all of your posts. Remember that TOMORROW IS OUR WEIGH IN DAY on this forum. Just remember to post your weight lost this week. We'll post our measurement losses the following Saturday giving us two weeks in between measuring. VKcooper: I'll be praying for…
