Ohhhhh, I'd love to see a pedometer challenge. What are we really doing on a daily basis with our movements? Sometimes we're not seeing any results on the scale, but we're not getting off the couch very often either! There's also some of us who may not have extra cash laying around for the awesome gym down the street or to…

Workout down for today. Had some interruptions this morning which cut work out time to a very short thirty minutes, but I did WeightLoss Program on the Cybex and I was sweating in minutes! ;) Those inclines simply ain't playin!

FRIDAY! FRIDAY!

Welcome everyone! Walking and frolicking are great ways to elevate heart rate, and shed a few calories. I'm a firm believer that ANYTHING that gets your body moving is better than nothing at all..... Can't make it to the gym, but still want to shed a few calories? Take ANY opportunity to do it. Park father away from the…

Ohhh Hidden Valley Ranch is the best.....and celery is the vehicle for this divine creation. Two Tbsp is plenty for snack time as well. A great way to get in some fat with low carb count, and add to your calories. Great snack idea for first morning snack time which I take around 10am. Ranch Dressing - Hidden Valley…

I think I'm going to have three. Today, break Thursday, and then a strong one on Friday. We are going to San Antonio for the weekend to celebrate my brothers birthday and will be headed for Six Flags Fiesta Texas. I am SOOOOO nervous because a theme park it frought with potential diet sabotage dangers. With just eight days…

Just started Saturday, entered ketosis yesterday, and dropped two pounds as of today! We can do it!!

Alright ladies. Work Out Challenge Number One starts tomorrow. Four days left in the week, and you must complete two work out sessions by Sunday. Check in with "COMPLETE" on the day you finish your two so that we may all chime in and gush over you! :) If you need motivation to get that rump to the gym, on the treadmill, to…

Thanks JLD..... Now this ketobreath...does that stick around as long as you low carb?? Like, um, this can't stay here!

Thanks for the link Ravengal.....Lots of good information. I noticed a two pound loss today and didn't even bat an eyelash. All those restroom trips should have showed something....water loss doesn't impress me. I'm in for the long term burnnnnn!

Honestly, I don't feel deprived at all. In fact, I am eating more than I've been eating over the past few years. Bad thing was when I did eat it was mostly carbs....so cutting back on those is what's causing the drama. It's like being a coffee drinker for years and just stopping cold turkey. There is gonna be a withdrawal…

Holy crap Stars....I didn't even notice the time til I read your post! I need to head to bed too! :yawn:

So in keeping with the momentum this thread is already building....Motivation Challenge number one starts today!? Workout Challenge......Four days left in the week, two SOLID chances to exercise if you need to give your body a break. Can you commit to two work out sessions by Sunday?

I'm a firm believer in anything is better than nothing. Walking is an excellent and effective way to move that body! You can do varied speeds for added variety (brisk pace five minutes, jog three minutes, back to brisk, etc), and even head to the steepest hill in your city and walk up and down it for forty five minutes.…

Hello LadyM, Thanks for the tips. I will head out to The Vitamin Shoppe tomorrow for potassium and magnesium. At this point I am ready to run over a small child if need be to make it stop. Two weeks you say? Dear God, please say it ain't so! Pedialyte is an marvelous idea, see I couldn't even think of that! Excellent way…

CLA, just started and already down 17? That's motivation for me right there!:love:

Also just started on Saturday. Day three in and I've hit full on ketoflu....lol. Hanging in there though! I overall have a goal of about 70 which I have broken into increments so as not to feel overwhelmed by the large number! ;) I am so down to motivate and be motivated. Let's do this!
