Hi! I've been searching for a group like this for a few days now and I'm glad to see this group now and I'm excited to join you! I've been on my path of getting healthy and losing weight for a few years now and I've done really well so far but it's taking a long time and I'm ready to reach my final goals. Life has been…

Sounds good! I'm ready for week 2!
-
That is great you had a great day! My day was good as well. I stayed under my calorie goal which I had intended and got my workout in. Yesterday I started to feel the pressure of jumping on the scale each day lift. I feel energized and I'm ready for this!
-
Way to know ourselves, what we need and don't need. That is great!
-
Good morning everyone! My workout plan this week is to get a workout in each day this week. I have 3 family get togethers on 3 different days this week for Thanksgiving so I am going to need to burn those calories! I will defnitely be drinking my water and will fill up on the veggies. Already decided that I will only have…

Good question! And it is so good to look back because so much can happen in a year's time. Sometimes we get so focused on the day to day, we forget how far we've come. Last year at this time I was 9lbs heavier. Hard to imagine! The year before that at this time (2009) I was the same. 2011 has been a great year for me in my…

This is definitely a challenge! And I am up for the challenge. I'm putting my scale away tonight and making sure I've got my tape measure ready to go instead!

Thanks for your support and sharing your ideas and stories. Yes, I will talk to him more. We have great communication, its mostly my issue with feeling like I need to take care of everyone and myself last. We do not have kids yet, but I know that we will be feeding our children nutritious foods. I wish he had more outlets…

haha this chick at work who has lost about 60 lbs and now she's catching up to me. I began getting jealous of her because she is doing so well and losing weight like crazy, but my weight does not come off as quick as hers and I've been on this journey for years, much longer than she has. I'm having a private competition…

lol I think wearing a hear rate monitor would get in the way. I say just count it as a bonus!
-
I tend to believe the good in people and that they have good intentions for the most part. It upsets me to find out when its not true. Oh well...
-
Interesting topic. I have not heard this. It would be interesting to see what Jillian had to say about it. I've watched her on the doctors a couple times and she definitely seems totally against fast food and high fructose corn syrup calling them poison. I couldn't imagine her knowingly putting things in her products that…

Two cups of coffee gets me jittery but the 5 hour energy just kept me up and alert. I liked it for that reason, I am pretty sensitive to caffeine and I tend to get headaches when I've had caffeine. I've only had it once but I personally wouldn't make a habit out of it.
-
Even if you didn't lose weight you definitely killed it! Way to stay positive and be a cheerleader for everyone! I love this group!
-
Thanks for being our fearless leader Kristi! You are a great leader and I enjoyed being a part of this challenge. I feel blessed as well to have you girls as friends and supporters. =)
-
I hear you! I am 5'1", currently 146.5 and shooting for 130lbs. My friends keep telling me I'm tiny, but I'm really not. Yes I am short and have been consistantly losing weight, but I really do want to be slimmer. Not just for the sake of it, but I plan on having children in a few years and I really want to be at a healthy…
-
Kristi, you look amazing! Great job at your accomplishments! I still don't see where the extra weight is, but you do your thang girl! You know what you need.
-
Thank you ;) Good advice!
-
I'll be doing the challenge for Tuesday tomorrow since I'm done with my workout already. Gotta get ready for work and then I go straight to class till 9:45 pm. Blah. But I'll make it a great day anyway! Have a good one ladies!
-
Done! Looking forward to this week!
-
I'm looking forward to week 5! The last couple weeks have been kinda down for me with various family things going on and with school work. Plus, I will be getting my period this week and the week before is always tough for me with feeling blah and I get lots of cravings. I haven't lost any weight recently but I have…

Hey all! I hope you're having a good start to your weekend. I was up at 6AM doing my workout and now I have to hit the books and get my homework done! Then I have a wedding to go to later. It never ends. Don't beat yourselves up for things that are out of your control. Make the best of the situation and find healthy ways…

Sorry for the death in your family Shelley. I'll be praying for you and your family. I've completed some of the challenges for this week but not all. My scale says it needs a new battery so I'll have to take care of that soon to see where I'm at. Next week will be a better week. I hope you all have a great Friday!
-
Sounds great! Thanks for the ideas! What isle in the grocery store would I find the veggie straws? They sound interesting.

Update: Got my 2 miles in today ;) The perks of being able to go to the gym and workout when my clients are on the cardio machines. I am a case worker for adults with developmental disabilities, and a few of my clients have the goal of working out so I get to help them with that.
-
Hey all. I did the challenge for today, except the walking. Have a great Monday!
-
Hey ladies! I am excited and motivated for this week's challenge also! Last week I did most of the challenges, but not all. Tonight, I wrote down all the challenges and instructions to save time of looking them up daily. Lets make it a great week! Oh, I couldn't get the website for the inner thigh rotate and reach to work.…

Out of all the advice I've been given regarding fitness and health, taking a rest day was the most important and showed the most results for me. It allows for your muslces to lengthen and grow, recooperate from hard workouts, interval training, etc. Walking can be considered a rest day if you take it super easy. Its hard…
-
It's Friday! I did my walking already. But, during the work week I can only spend up to an hour exercising in the morning and I don't have time in the evenings anymore, so I only did 2.5 miles (wanted to do 4). I have a treadmill but we live on the 3rd floor in an apartment and I cannot jog on my treadmill so early in the…

I put them in the freezer when they get super ripe. I peel them first so they are easy to thaw and use in minutes. I make banana pancakes with them, and everyone loves the pancakes! Just estimate how much banana to use in the batter, at least 1 banana though. Also, I make banana chocolate chip muffins. I don't have the…
