Didn't take my "day off" from exercise yesterday, so I did it today. Went over on calories today, but it wasn't by too much. Definitely could have made better food choices, but I was too tired to make a better dinner tonight. Been up since before 5:30 a.m. BLAH! On a positive note, I lost 2.5 pounds and 1.1" overall this…

Hi ladies, I honestly don't have time to read your posts tonight but I will in the morning. I'm trying to get billing out for work and today is my husband's last day of vacation. Things have been crazy around here. I burned 376 calories today doing weightlifting. I am making progress in the strength department. Boy do I…

You look, and no doubt, FEEL fantastic! Way to work hard, be determined, and reach your goals!!!! Congratulations!

Hi everyone! It looks like everyone is really doing GREAT! Even those of you who have had a really bad day emotionally decided to take your frustrations out on exercise. I know that's tough, but I also think that your body and mind are better off getting some of that stress out through exercise. I'll keep you all in my…

I'm so proud of you and I'm glad to be your friend. You've worked SO HARD day in and day out. You've been determined & dedicated and that's what it takes. Keep up the good work HOT MOMMA!

I think you've made great progress. I can tell that you've been working really hard! Keep up the good work and that six pack is waiting for you right around the corner! I BIG HUGE "HOOAH!" from me (I happen to be a Marine wife). My uncle is a retired full bird colonel in the Army and was inducted into the Army Ranger Hall…

Glad to have you back! Have a great day!

Just a quick note to say, PLEASE read this blog post. It's a success story by LimeyTart who will be surprising her husband upon his return from Afghanistan. He deployed for a year long tour on February 15th and she joined the gym the next day. She went from a size 16 to a size 4, and he has no idea! I'd love for you to…

Hi ladies...as usual, it looks like y'all had a great day! Come rain or shine, you got your workouts in! I don't think anyone went over on their calories either. I'm so proud of you!!!!! Weight loss takes determination and commitment, and you've got what it takes!!!!! I burned 407 calories today as we walked around the…

WELCOME NEW MEMBER Hi everyone...I want to welcome "MereMe" who had requested to join the group, but I somehow overlooked her. I'm so sorry MereMe! At any rate, I've updated the banner & ticker to reflect that she is part of our team! Friend her if you would like to :-) TICKER UPDATE!!!! If you use the banner, please go…

For those of you that wanted the code for the "Rock That Dress Challenge" banner, I have included the code here, but you MUST change the uppercase IMG at the beginning AND end of the code to a lowercase "img" Make sure that you leave the brackets and everything else the same. In order to include the banner in your…

To Vkcooper -- (I mean to quote you, but somehow it didn't work???) Hey girlie! Stay focused on your goals and your progress with regard to exercise so far. Don't overdo it and only compete with yourself. If you can just do a couple minutes more than the previous day or a little less intensity yet more time, you'll be…

I stayed within my calorie goals today. 548 Calories burned. Walked 4.32 miles at 4.27mph. Pace was 14:02 per mile. :-) Great walk tonight! Be back in touch in a few minutes ladies. It's been a crazy insane day. I want to take time to read/answer your posts if you have questions or concerns....brb....

Hi Ladies! I achieved my daily goal today. I worked out for 83 minutes and burned 531 calories doing "Gilad Step Aerobics using 6" step, 1 lb. weights & HRM - Includes toning for arms, chest, legs, glutes, & abs." I also stayed under my calorie goal :-) It looks like we've got a great start to our group. If any of you are…

You do need to take measurements to find out your baseline. Document those measurements on your weigh in page. You don't need to post them on the forum yet unless you want to. In two weeks, we'll post how much we've lost in our various measurements then we'll update measurements once every two weeks. It's fun watching…

I've officially posted the "Rock that Dress Challenge" for military wives and more. Here's the link: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/332854-rock-that-dress-challenge Message me if you'd like to join in!

Okay girls...Just got back from vacation this afternoon. Later tonight, I'll re-post my "Rock that Dress" challenge for all of us military wives. However, I'd like to open it up to people who want to support our military too. Now that my husband is no longer active, we still participate in a local military support group…

Oh wow! You are totally going to love going to the ball! Remember that not everyone there is in wonderful shape, and know that those Marines are some of the finest men and women in the world! They will be happy that you are there! Go with your husband and take his arm proudly...be yourself and have a good time. It is so…

Thanks everyone! Maybe i can help you and you can help me too :-) We're all in this together!!!

I can definitely relate. I'm the wife of a Marine veteran and current cop. One of my goals is to "Rock that Dress" at the Marine Corps Ball in November. I've already lost 37 pounds so far, so I think I'll be able to wear a figure fitting gown then...I can't wait, especially after years of going to the ball carrying around…

WOW! You really have showed great progress! Congratulations on your results! Keep up the good work. I am on team Shrinking Ship. We're not done yet, but we're working at it. It was a fun challenge wasn't it?

I think this is a REALLY GREAT idea. At this time of year, we are all so busy going and doing. New school year is starting, football practice, music lessons, homework, shopping, doctors appointment...fill in the blank. We are all on the go. You're right...when we do get so busy and have to rush out at the last moment or…

Sounds fun to me...I'm so excited about football season I can hardly stand it. I live in a college town and with kickoff next Saturday, the atmosphere is palpable! YAY!!!! Please add me :-)

Here's my before ( started exercising 2/17/11). The picture on the left had to have been right at 200 pounds. The two on the right were taken after I'd lost my first seven pounds. This is my current - I am over half way to my goal :-) Here's what I've lost so far in my first six months... 37 pounds Neck 1.5 inches Waist…
