awesome habit to have formed...you are certain in a good frame of mind. we all wish we could jump on that wagon, lol

CAN I JOIN YALL? I love Zumba, too ... I Wii and attend T/Th classes :happy:

I'm still at no change, but am very focused at getting the # down! Just gonna have to cut out red meat & all pasta :sad: I'm hoping May will be the big turn around I've been looking for :heart:

no chg this week...gonna have to change something up significantly!

Finally back to my initial weight! And that's pretty good for me right now :bigsmile: 141.0

Clean out those cupboards! Seriously, make a plan that includes meals and snacks and lots of water....brush your teeth, soak in a tub, go for a(nother) walk...keep it simple and tell yourself over and over again that you're worth the effort. Your body will respond and your plan will become second nature...really.

you finish up an all-get-out workout, and log-on before even a shower!

You are in the right place sweetie....please don't fret over what some rude kids say, we all have issues that we need to overcome at some point in our lives. If you start to learn to love you, regardless of the number on the scale you'll see that you can overcome anything...even food addiction. The best place to start is…

sent it to my teenagers straight away...now it's all over Facebook, sorry they didn't give you credit, but they loved it! :laugh:

Before I even purchased an HRM, I bought several cute workout outfits:laugh: !! Nothing like looking and feeling good :bigsmile: & don't forget to buy a real good pair of sneakers!

While stationed in the U.K. we had our wooden fence repaired repeated following some tremendous wind storms. After the fourth phone call to base housing the same 3 Brits dutifully and apologetically came back out and replaced the entire section of fence and proudly exclaimed that nothing could blow down that blasted thing…

this was my post last week...pg 12 :happy: and for today, I'm up a full pound & a half :sad: 142........too much sodium and too much bar-b-que :sad:

what they said....

half pound drop is pretty amazing considering I had a half week of spring break in there....lots of travel & fun times with the fam, and lots of eats! Starting Weight: 141 lbs Goal Weight: 129 lbs 3/17: 141.0 3/24: 140.5 3/31: 4/7: 4/14: <<<mini goal 135 lbs>>> 4/21: 4/28: 5/5: 5/12: <<<mini goal 132 lbs>>> 5/19: 5/26:…

aside from the obvious thirst.....rash or hives, esp on the hands and feet. many people have dark pigmentation at the neck, as well. belly fat is the biggest indicator.

Dang! I watched Dr Oz today and he said 1500 mg limit on sodium!! Yikes, and I thought I struggling getting it down to 2400 mg a day....going to have to re-figure everything. :sad: mj

Achilles heal overload! I was doing so well, BEFORE actually saying I would cut sodium! Refocus time...it would be so much easier to drop the weight if I could just keep off the salt, bec' I can't tolerate most fatting foods without salt, so that would be so perfect! Right? I'm blowing it double time..Urrg :explode:

this is pretty much the same with me...not even chocolate is tempting enough, but my biggest weakness has been salt. I WAS DOING GREAT UNTIL I GAVE IT UP FOR LENT! 4 days of sodium, so that'll be my new focus for the remaining days...fingers, also crossed! new thing has been grapefruit, fresh and 100% juice (NEVER w/in 2…

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown I think this summer challenge falls somewhere w/in that time frame, so we're doing good folks :bigsmile:

Question of the day: What is something that you are going to do differently this week? I usu have my protein replenishment after an intense workout, so this week I'm going to have some before as well. It gives me such a tremendous boost and wards off fatigue and headache.

I would definitely get some protein w/in half hour of an intense workout :) even before... I use a protein mix with a little yogurt to give it substance...wonderful replenishment :smile:

Screen name: hooah_mj Goal for March 31st: 135 [still recovering from a spring cleaning glute pull, but I'm still working toward that 5+lbs off ] March1st ( starting weight): 142lb March 8th: 141.5 (- 0.5) March 15th: 141.3 (-0.2) March 22nd: March 29th: March 31st:

Simply wonderful chart! Thx for such a great challenge:flowerforyou: I'll be out of town for a day or two, so I'll continue to check in for any mini-challenges or changes...and yeah, a Buddy 4 Summer :tongue: The first 20lbs came off with 4 - 5 days of intense cardio, but everything stagnated last Fall and the cardio was…

I'd love to do this long term goal, as well....thx. Starting Weight: 141 lbs (as of 3/13/11) Goal Weight: 129 lbs (by 6/9/11) 3/17: 3/24: 3/31: 4/7: 4/14: <<<mini goal 135 lbs>>> 4/21: 4/28: 5/5: 5/12: <<<mini goal 132 lbs>>> 5/19: 5/26: 6/2: 6/9: <<<challenge goal 129 lbs>>>

I always do my workouts in the a.m. Can I still join your challenge? It'll give me a group of folks that are out the door (or outta bed, anyway) first thing... I jump out of my pjs and throw on my workout gear with my first cup of joe! Tomorrow is BodyPump and Core & More :tongue:

Organic Almond Soy Milk is my preference. Very light, not too sweet, and none of the allergy reactions I can get from milk products. Enjoy!

so sorry! hope you find an alternative ASAP....oh and when you do get to Wally World, pick up a couple-to-3 tubes, so you'll never have to put off such a awesome start again :flowerforyou:

coffee, egg whites, apples, carrots, protein mix w/vanilla yogurt, and..................jolly ranchers :tongue:

So many more goals I keep thinking of ... need some daily focus, aside from water and steps (no problem there). One weekly goal I am intent on is keeping Fridays meatless. Yesterday was wonderful. The kiddos had their cheese/mushroom pizza and the hubs and I had cocktail shrimp and crab cakes. Very nice and light for a…
