Hello Penny, and welcome
-
Welcome Marie! We are a fun bunch. I too love to garden. I still have some tomatoes and peppers growing, but everything else burned up in the heat. I get my veggies from the local farmer's markets. I do love to dig in the dirt and my main garden is the memory garden at the lake. I kind of fall off the wagon a bit on the…

Hello Sandy, Dorothy, Jan Darlene and Lydia! I am Toni and live in a Bham, AL suburb, but I prefer to spend my time in the woods in the lake cabin. I have lived in Alabama all my life, except for 2 years when I lived in KY. I am a retired insurance executive, married for 33 years. We lost our oldest daughter to melanoma 3…

Ups and downs and plateaus are why I step on the scale less. It discourages me, especially since I have become a slow loser. Nest weigh in will be next Wednesday morning before leaving for Alaska. I know I have lost inches so hoping it will show on the scale.

Love seeing the mini goals! Wow! 18 #s in 2 months! I once could do that but as I approach 60 it gets much harder. I finished 30 Day Shred and started back over with higher weights, doing each level for 7 days. Yesterday was day 44, I have only missed one day, a day I just wasn't feeling well. It has been a tad cooler…

I have been busy, but am very satisfied with this group. Support without ridicule!

I am hoping to be able to fit comfortably in all the size 14s I have in my closet by the time we leave for AK Aug. 6. I can wear one pair of capris but the others are too tight to be seen out in public. Not sur if I will make it, but gonna give it the old college try.

Jan, glad you enjoyed your day at the beach. I have times I dont like to even leave the house...usually when I am depressed and at my heaviest. Since I have Aiken a bit off, I do get out. I have been known to go to a movie by myself. DJ, my sense of direction isn't great and if I didn't ave a GPS I could get in trouble in…

You look incredible, curves in all the right places! Way to go!

Just finished and since am going on vacation in 3 weeks and don't want to take weights, started over for 21 days with higher weights. Will take a Taibo DVD with me. I both a JM DVD that is 45 minutes. I think the name is something like 45 minute shred shed. I am no where near the getting ripped stage, still needing to…

Breakfast was my usual, akk bran bran buds, Greek yogurt and blueberries. 16 oz water down. For lunch I will make my avocado chicken salad. Now, here is the problem. Hubby wants to go to dinner at our favorite seafood buffet. The last time I went I made very ad choices. I normally prefer my seafood not fried. However for…

Welcome Ginger and thin4me. Thanks marsellient for checking in. It is much cooler here today and when it stops drizzling rain, I am going for a walk with Daisy. Thanks for the Kale recipe. I am going to find some and make these. Maybe I will try some spices like cumin on some. I love cumin. My name is Toni, and feel free…
-
I have also wanted to try kale chips. DJ, I have been buying mostly from the same vendor for several years. I pay her kids to shuck and shell. Did get some okra today too. It just started coming in and is nice and small. I love it in soup and boiled. Husband ad daughter REALLY like it fried. I try and resist, and also use…

DJ, I freeze veggies, but don't can. I never learned how to can. My Gmother and MIL canned, but my mom used the freezer so I do also. Actually I am headed up to the lake today and to the country farmers market. I ordered a bushel of shucked corn and shelled peas, so I will be freezing this weekend. I don't mind cutting…

Hi Jan and Liz and anyone else checking in! Just finished 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels. If I can do it, anyone can. I still have to modify some moves, but I am much stronger. Going to do it 3 more weeks, starting over with heavier weights, then it is off to Alaska and fishing, not to mention glorious cool weather.…

Good for you! Keep it up!

End of first 30 Day Shred. Lost 3.1 lb. I am finding weight loss to be a slow go post menopause. Also had a couple of not so good eating weekends, but overall I stick to 1200-1400 calories. When I started I had to use mostly 2# weights. Today I used 5s and a 6 on the single lift. I was really weak due to a combination of…

Level 3 Day 8 in the books. Two more days and then results!

Thanks for the results. We are on Day 5 level 3. Weighing and measuring next Tuesday.

Not a good day yesterday. Started a major episode of fibromyalgia. My strength is sapped, although I did get in Day 3 Level 3 of 30DS. Had ice cream, about a cup (fresh peach) and that in itself wasn't bad, but I also had a bad of kettle corn so I was a bit over for the day. Didn't sleep well, it is the catch 22 of fibro,…

Day 1 Level 3 in the books. This day was for me to try and figure out these moves! This one seems to be about strength, which is MY weakness...LOL The heavy impact moves I think will remain a no b/c of my back...somewhat the knees but the back is a real issue. This is helping my balance which has been an issue for me.

Checking in for end of day 6. 286 cals under goal plus exercise. Day 1 Level 3 30DS kicked my butt. Over 15K steps today. It is after 9pm and I just don't think I have a bike ride in me. If I did I might need to eat something else and I know I can't do that. Good job everyone. Let's all get back to it after a nice holiday…

Oh my I LOVE WI cheese curds. I wasn't great the past 2 days myself. The good thing is I did do my 30DS shred both days and continued to get better. Yesterday I had over 12K steps, Friday only 5200. Now about the food. Started out good Friday morning with my usual All Bran, yogurt and blackberries. I didn't log the rest of…

Congratulations! Great results! I completed day 8 of level 2 this morning. Everyone is sounding really motivated.
-
Wow! That is big goal.! Be sure and keep it healthy. I am thrilled if I get 5 a month!
-
My daughter and I are doing 30 DS on day 8 of level 2 and getting better at it. It was cooler at the lake this am and breezy so Daisy and I went for a 30 minute walk. It has been so hot here it has been difficult to get steps in, so I have been riding a stationary bike. Don't have one at the lake, but it is going to be in…

Actually 1 lb a week is a good way to loose. You might loose more to start, but a slow lose means less loose skin and at our age this is a problem. It is harder to loose post menopause. I have lost 24 lbs since the middle of February which is about 5 lbs a month, just over a lb a week. I try not to weigh more than once…
