Happy Wednesday!!! Sunny here - cool but sunny. Lisa, glad you're back at it - funny how it takes 1 little thing and the 'be healthly bug' kicks back in. I didn't make it to the store yesterday as work got crazy; I blocked off an hour on my calendar today so should make it! I'm so curious as to my steps, exercise, etc! The…

Good morning! Seems so busy lately and I have nothing to account for it all ???? Siannah, nice to see your smiling face again. Glad you are eating well, a little push to get out and walk -- you'll feel better about it all. And funny how 1 or 2 times and the 'get healthy bug' comes back to you :) Lisa, soup sounds so yummy…

Enjoy your "me" time Brenda!!! My kettlebell is 6kg/12lb. Truthfully it's too heavy for me and I end up using my 8 lb weights, so depending on your arm strength (i have none!), I'd use that as a guideline. Good luck -- it's amazing how much a kettle bell work out works! Warm here today too - about 78 - so I'm looking…

Ha Ha Apacheta! Welcome to the group and you can make the goal! Cindy

Glad one other person is --- I did mine this morning …. every little bit helps!!

Down .4

Lisa 2.6 is a great week; so as you said a balance this week is okay. Hope your son is feeling better and you don't catch anything. Isn't the chilly getting awful!!! :( Emy is probably the only one liking it being in LA and all. Today we are only hitting 52 degrees for our high --- not happy about that!!!! Cindytw, good…

I love hearing about new exercise programs --- get back into it cindytw and let me know! Tonight my friend and I are doing pedi's and then dinner…..funny how I dread going out to eat now. I actually just texted her and asked if we could do dinner first so we aren't eating late and just go to this earthy crunchy place so we…

Well, boo, that wasn't it. I logged tonight and got the "you'd weigh xxx in 5 weeks" …. so I deleted 2 foods and relogged; I then got a message that read 'too little calories' … so I think MFP changed it to if too little calories you just a warning and not the 5 week prediction. And here I thought I was going to be the…

Brenda - stick with the Jillian - it will work!!! Ya 5:15 to work out is NOT happening here either :) :) Walked for about an hour tonight with my friend. Was great to be out … but I do miss the walk/jogs so I'm going to get that in tomorrow. Have a good night all!

Morning all! Maureen …I would love my thighs to hurt … hips and thighs are my biggest issue. My running has helped hamstrings and glutes, but time for me to do something to hit the hip area. I'll be into Jillian Michaels dvds within the next few months now that fall/winter are upon us; so hopefully that will tone me up all…

Interesting it didn't show me my weight; maybe I'll be so super thin that it didn't want to overexcite me ;-) I'll see what happens tonight!

Good morning :) Well I blew September goal by not logging in Sunday/Monday …. not sure how or why, I just didn't get to it :( I ate right both days so won't beat myself up over it. I still have 3 other goals that I'll do my best to complete!!! Lisa, I like your new profile image. So true!!! Maureen, what is HIIT workout?…

Quick Saturday Hello! Got my 3 miles in this morning before all the rain came. Used the rest of the day to clean, clean and clean a bit more. Was great to get it all done. Brenda, my commute now is 50 mins, company is moving to Boston April next year and that will be my new commute! :( If I didn't love my job, would be…

Just added my miles to date - 28; so I should be able to make the 50 miles. Worried about #4 and 4 lbs lost, but I'll be working at it!

Happy FRIDAY!!!!! I love waking up on Fridays because then I know there are 2 days in a row I can sleep in (sleep in is only til 7:30 for me, but it's better than 5:30!!!!) You iPhone ladies are making me jealous -- ENJOY! Let me know how they are! I've decided if I can get to my goal weight by the time the Apple Watch…

Down .6 today. Really slow the last 5 weeks. 1 or 2 of the weeks, I knew it was me, but the others I was expecting a lot more. I think next week I'll change my 50 mins of cardio to 30 cardio20 weights and see if that helps any. Hoping!!! Good luck to everyone else :)

Maureen, glad exercise class went easy. What type of exercises do they have you doing? 15 minutes with no power - is that a city thing or work thing??? Interesting! Enjoy the quiet time of it all. Another one making me jealous on the iPhone 6! Work pays for my phone so I have to wait til I'm eligible for an upgrade (next…

Lisa I think I got your exhausted today …. but I was up late waiting for the boys to leave concert. Unfortunately, the dragging stopped me from working out. So tomorrow I'm going to have to be extra good. Oh the Apple Watch … I'm DROOLING! I can only imagine what it will cost, need to figure that write off and make me…

Welcome to the group Laura! Definitely supportive so jump on it :)

ha ha … love the everything!

Morning ladies. Welcome Cindy; thanks for steps detail on FitBit … everyone that has it; just loves it so I'm going to make it work. Tonight my son is going to a concert with friends and I have 'stay at the concert duties' this time around so I'm hopeful there is a store nearby that I can run into and grab one while I wait…

The 2500 is probably me. I have a desk job and more often than not work through lunch, so I would be in trouble. I'm going to end up ordering one online today as I don't think I'll be back to the store anytime soon (40 mins away from home, so not a quick and easy trip). Thanks for numbers!

Happy Sunday … Where do those weekends go?!?!? Brenda, great to see you again. That salsa sounds so yum; love homemade salsa, but I don't have enough discipline to stay away from the chips or so it's far and few between I make it. Lisa, your runs still amaze me. Remember Is started C25K in May, well I'm still on week 3 :)…

Welcome to the group Cindy …. jump in and post along! :)

Ok, since we've started this -- I haven't made 1 month work. I WILL IN SEPTEMBER! 1. Walk//Jog 50 miles 2. Log every day 3. Check in here at least 4x a week (I find you all keep me honest!) 4. Lose 4 lbs Lisa, good luck with the group challenges! I've seen them around and they look good -- let us know how it goes!

Maureen, agree could have summer forever! I'd still work, but the warmth, the sun, the longer days, etc. would be wonderful. Sun is starting to set at 7:30 here so my nightly runs are getting hard. I get home for 5:45 which gives me no time to eat/digest before I run; so I need to revamp all that. Work has so many hills…

Good attitude Maureen! I'm down .4. Not near what I was expecting (was expecting more; I've been status quo for a while and busted my butt this week!), but it is 'tom' so hopefully that has something to do with it and next week will be my big winner. If not, I need to figure something out as this hasn't changed in weeks.…

Happy Thursday … one more day! Been a good week for me both exercise and food wise, so I'm happy. Been trying to push my workouts to be first 30 minutes C25K and last 20 mins power walking. I've been going almost daily so I will say I'm very sore, but I like it! Hoping tomorrow's weigh in will make me happy. Lisa, thanks…

Happy Tuesday -- hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend! I did a lot of walking, running and logging my food so it was good in that perspective. Lisa, glad you're fit bit is being replaced; I'm very close to getting one, but since I'm using MFP and MapMyWalk, I'm wondering if it is truly worth it. Thoughts??? Brenda, I…
