Azeria - I know you are going through a rough time, but your positive thought cycle will help you get through it. Jenn - I am on vacation and I just can't tell you how awesome it feels. I have never had a vacation like this. I'm in the Florida Keys and it's so amazing. I feel so relaxed. *sigh* So, I'm not weighing in this…

Hey Jenn, Sorry I've been so MIA. I'm still working on this, I just have been super busy at work and home. I'm down to 164. I think that's better than last week, but I'm not sure. TOM came, so at the end of last week, I had gained a lot it seemed and was wondering what was going on, but then TOM happened and all of the…

Azeria - That commercial was brilliant! :blushing: LOL!! Yes, I swear I'd exercise too. :wink: Jenn - Hey girl. I hope you're doing alright. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you! I hope everybody is having a great week! Let's post some great losses this week. Hang in there everybody! Christine :flowerforyou:

First plateau is finally over! :-) YEA! So excited. I weighed in today (a day earlier than normal), just to see, and I'm now at 165.6. That makes me super happy. :bigsmile: I didn't get to work out yesterday and won't be able to today either, as I hurt my knee. Twinged it a little bit. Iced, elevated, and took ibuprofen…

Jen, I'm sorry I didn't post last week. It's tough right now, and I was a little lazy not posting. I apologize though and no excuses. I didn't lose, and I didn't gain. I'm stuck at 168. However, I have started running and have drastically lowered my food intake, so I'm not going to be stuck for very long. I have been…

Hey Jenn, I didn't get to post over the weekend. I'm at 168.0. Just kind of holding there. Getting a thyroid check done today. We'll see! Christine

No change. CW is 169. Hope everybody has a good week!

Way to go! Great job! :flowerforyou:

luvmyjp - I'm so happy for you!! :flowerforyou: You did it! You reached your goal, and that is super inspiring to see. Thank you so much for being a part of our group and sharing. Now, it's time for you to do the 30 Day Shred with Jillian!! :bigsmile: Oh yes, yes it is!! Jenn - Your picture looks great. Good for you! Isn't…

To anybody that's interested in the 30 DS w/Ms. Michaels, tomorrow is Day 10 for me. Tomorrow is my last day on Level 1 and Friday, I will start Level 2. Level 1 is about 27 minutes long (including warm up and cool down). I'm not going to lie to you...it's hard. Start on Level 1 and if after 4 days you're not feeling…

I totally get where you're coming from. I have 3 very active boys, ages 16 (soon to be 17 and a junior in HS), 12 (7th grader), and 8 (3rd grader). I'm up at 5:30 and back in bed between 10 and 11. I HATE working out in the morning, but I do it anyway. I get up between 5:30 and 5:45 every morning, put on my clothes, and I…

Good morning! PP - I had heard that too about dinner. I loved your little didde on that! "If you wish to grow thinner, dmish your dinner!" :bigsmile: Nice! I didn't have a great week. I'm at 170.2. I think I need to start doing aerobics (zumba) along with my 30 DS. Today was day 7 on that for me because I skipped Sunday…

Also, credit to Cateyes0831 for that Dori quote. I have been thinking it for weeks now, so it was great to see it! :smile:

OK! Hello Jenn and everyone! :smile: First, COHAWK11 is totally right on when she said in one of the last week 5 posts, "...it's crucial to stay as positive as possible and to work hard at being kind to ourselves!" We do need to be kinder to ourselves ladies (and men) as we are working hard. What we're doing is not easy!…

OMG...can I just say OMG?!? :noway: (Oh my gosh). I'm so much more out of shape than what I thought. Here I am, doing Zumba Zumba Zumba and loving it :heart: , but thought to myself, I had kind of stalled out losing weight, so let's try something new and I bought the 30 Day Shred. I started it yesterday. Holy cow my legs,…

Thanks friend! Great advice. I'm going to copy it and send it to myself in an email so I can read it on my phone on Friday night. :flowerforyou:

Weighed in at 169.4. I changed my workout routine. I am doing 30 Day Shred. Day one, level 1, was today. I'm not a pushup person, so that was really hard for me. I was sweating like crazy, but it was really good. I was proud of that workout. I think I'll be still needing to do a short zumba session with it though. I didn't…

I'm thankful for my family, friends, and the many wonderful blessings God has given me. I'm thankful for the motivation all of you give me each and every time I log on and read the posts from this awesome group. There is so much more I'm thankful for as well, but the list would be HUGE. Congrats on the pregnancy, weight…

OK - so I have 20 pounds left to lose. Whew!! 20/16 = 1.25 pounds per week. I can do it!!! I have to do it!!! I would love to lose 2 pounds per week. That would be great! But, some weeks are better than others, so if I only lose 1.25 weekly, then so be it. I need to make sure I'm eating enough fruits and veggies during the…

Hello! I will have to catch up on what's going on with my CCC friends later, so just checking in for now. I weighed in at 170. Wahoo! Please let the 160's start next week. :love: Looking forward to it! I'll read about how everybody did later, but I hope you're all doing well!!! Christine

I have been there! My husband FINALLY got on board with it all when he realized he was getting way too large himself! Of course, men lose it faster (damn them!). Hang in there. Keep venting and keep up your hard work! :smile: Christine

Way to go!! :flowerforyou: Keep up with the zumba. I started at the beginning of this challenge with 20 minutes each day. I remember how hard but fun it was, and sweat poured off me. Now, I can do 45 minutes without missing a beat! Keep up the awesome work. The 30 Day shred is with Jillian Michaels. That's my next video to…

BUMP x's100* :flowerforyou:

TOM still hasn't started. *sigh* I think I'm starting perimenopause. I have the hot flashes, night sweats, and have had them for years, but this week was pretty very tough. I didn't lose anything. In fact, I gained a pound. I was flat exhausted, ate too much, and still worked out like crazy, but the eating choices were not…

I hope your little girl is doing better! My son broke his arm when he was that age! It is a traumatic event when something like that happens, but it sounds like you handled it really well. :-) Have a great week! ~ Christine

Hellooooooooo! This week STINKS for me. Bleh! :grumble: TOM is here, but not here. Did that make sense? In other words, he's 'supposed' to be here, and the symptoms of him are here, except for one key thing, nothing is happening! Great, it's just all bundled up inside. What's it waiting for? No idea. I have the bloating,…

Hey everybody! My weight finally budged! YEA! :happy: So happy. I'm at 173 now. I also did 60 crossovers so far, so I'll do some more tomorrow. I usually do about 30 everyday. I like those. I love doing different kinds of sit ups, because while they don't show on the outside (yet), underneath it all, I can feel them! To…

Jenn!!! I'm so sorry I didn't post yesterday. :embarassed: I wasn't on my computer at all. Kids are finally all back to school! WHEW!! :happy: They're happy, I'm happy, and life is finally back to normal. However, I didn't lose a single pound last week!! ARGH!! I'm still at 174, so no change for me. I'm hoping something…

Ohhh so exciting! I don't have 30 DS. Think I may have to purchase that beauty. :-) Sounds like it could be fun. Love the jump rope and $5 goal. Great ideas! You're so good at this Jenn. :flowerforyou: Thanks for being such an awesome group leader!! Christine

BTW Jenn - I'm so sorry I did not make the burpee goal! I did 10 of them one night, and then didn't do them again. I just kept forgetting! I'm going to really try hard to work those into my workout routine. They're a great exercise to do, so thanks for showing us those! :-) ~Christine :smile:
