That is so wonderful! Keep up the good work!

More than likely the case! I give my self 2 days of rest and then weigh myself.

You probably just needed to just eat more! That happens to me all the time. Way to go!

That is so great!!! It's amazing what will motivate us to keep going. You're well on your way!:happy:

Make sure you have decent socks. I try to buy socks with the least amount of cotton in them. It really does make the difference. Plus, everyone else is right... definitely go to a running store and get fitted for a proper pair of running shoes. Happy Running:smile:

Oh my goodness, I feel dumb now!!! :tongue:

Just curious, what is TOM??

That really must have felt incredible! I can't wait for that feeling :)

I turn mine off after I stretch and my HR returns to normal. It's nice to burn those extra calories:smile:

I LOVE Coke Zero. I usually allow myself 1 a day. However, what I really love about it is the carbonation. So, I drink flavored, carbonated water. It so good!!! No calories or sodium. That's how I do it. Good Luck!

I get excited when I know that I have done really well during the week. I love to see if my efforts have paid off! Good Luck!

Tea is a great way to get in your water. Just make sure it is decaffeinated.

I have always liked The Firm, but you have to buy weights to go with it. It was one of the best workouts for me.

Great Job!! :drinker:

Your body always needs a day of rest. Plus, it was mother's day! You deserved it!

I have the Polar F6 with a chest strap. It's about as accurate as you can get with a chest strap in my opinion. It was about $109. Actually, my doctor told me about the Body Bugg, I believe it's called. It is the most accurate, but its about $200.

That's great!!! I love to eat out. It means no cooking, but you have to be so careful. I don't know if you have the book, but The Calorie King Calorie Fat & Carbohydrate Counter is awesome. Especially for when you want to go out.

The last place most women lose weight is in the stomach area. I would start taking your measurements every couple of weeks. Keep going! You're doing great!

For Breakfast: English muffin - 100 with an egg on top and a piece of 2% cheese. I'll usually add some fruit or a small bowl of cereal. For Lunch: I love having a turkey sandwich on light bread. Maybe some all Natural popchips and fruit.

I think you should do what is best for you. For example, I weigh myself everyday. It keeps me motivated. I say once a week is preferable, not every two weeks. It really is a matter of preference.

Hi there! I need some buddies too. My name is Amanda. I am at my heaviest weight ever as well. Hopefully we can keep each other motivated.

Great idea! Maybe I'll start Crocheting again :) I wasn't hungry last night, but I knew I needed to eat more calories. Of course once i started eating it didn't stop. I should have never opened my mouth. Good Idea!

Thank you all so much for the ideas. I'm going to give it a try and see if I can stop this late night eating. :noway:

That's wonderful!! I can't wait for that day myself!

I know how you feel. I started really exercising hard and I myself have gained 3 lbs overnight as well. I feel bloated too, and thought why am I even trying. BUT, lets not give up! We can do this! I bet we'll lose it over the weekend :)
