pedometer ordered so i'll be ready for this weekend

What pedometer is everyone using? I stay at home a lot with kids and am up and down, bending and squatting a lot so I need something that won't count randomly just cuz I move. I have a really cheap one that counts if it giggles the slightest bit. I've been doing amazon searches and have found a few but wanted to know what…

I'm in!

If I can't talk to someone trying to talk to me it's vigorous. I have 3 kids and usually can't get through a workout without having to fuss or talk to one of them so if I have to tell them "wait" in an exhausted breath then it's vigorous.

You can tell what kind of month it's been by my signature. It says I weighed in at 172 on Sept. 8 and today is the 23rd. But the good news is that I did some measurements this morning and those are coming down nicely. I've lost a total of about 3-4 inches all over since I last did that. My birthday is next week and I'm…

thanks

I bought the Kenpo X cd off of ebay and I love it, I'll have to try the Cardio.

That was my problem. I had labor day weekend then some laziness on my part and then a birthday. I'm doing better this week with both food and exercise and it's starting to come back off again. I'm almost back to where I was at my lowest. I'm hoping to be there by the weekend and then do my best to make better choices this…

I'm a little worried that my goal is becoming more unrealistic. I've got 5wks to lose 12lbs. That's a very tall order but I'm going to do my best and if I can lose half that I'll still be happy cuz it will take me below the obese category. I will then be in the 160s and it's been a very long time since I've been there. I…

Catching up sucks when you've gained a bit due to recent events. I'm going back down but it's taking a while. I need to get tougher. Anyone else in a slump and trying to get out of it and back on track?

I've been slacking a lot lately. I'm up a couple of pounds up from my low last time I updated. I will be kicking it into high gear this week to get back down and then some. I have some making up to do to make my goal for Halloween. My goal this week is to get back to exercising everyday and keeping to my diary like I'm…

I was doing good but this weekend kind of ruined it with a birthday party and local festival. I got back to my exercise today so hopefully that helps. Going to do my best to keep it up this week since I took a week off my exercise last week. However there's a possible cold about to go around my house and I'm really hoping…

Just realized I'm 3lbs from being out of the obese catagory. I'm so excited. Not that I think I look obese but technically I'll be healthy.

Whoo hoo! I lost another 1.8lbs so now I'm so close to having a total loss of 20lbs and I've lost 11lbs during this challenge. I'm so excited. Just 12lbs left.

I went up for about 2 days and am finally back down to where I was my lowest over the weekend. YEAH!!! Now the struggle is to keep it going down.

I'm down another .4 since I last posted so I have a little less than 14lbs to go. Not bad considering I haven't been eating as good due to events over the holiday. I've been getting a lot of walking in with lots of heavy stroller pushing. Ticker updated.

checking in, be right back

I thought that's what this one was. It's the second thread of the original topic. Is there a different one with the same name?

I agree. I love seeing that I look thinner even if the scale doesn't show it. I love that I'm forced to buy new clothes cuz mine are getting too big. I love when my hubby puts his arms around me and gets a surprised happy face cuz he notices I'm smaller than the last time he did that. I love that some of my favorite shirts…

I'm convinced that's what's happening to me. I'm losing inches but not really any weight. I hope my body adjusts soon and the weight starts dropping again. Now to get off my butt and go work out. Soooo tired.

Well I'm not losing weight currently. I haven't been as good this week I think. But I did start my exercise back and I'm losing inches. Hopefully I'm just building muscle. This weekend is going to be busy and I'm not sure I'll be able eat as well since I won't be home much. Hopefully I'll see some weight loss next week.

Have you been doing the same thing for 5wks? As in you're eating the same way, no days off, exercise is the same etc. Your body could be just hitting a plateau or getting too use to what it's getting. If you haven't had any days off in a long while I would. Nothing too crazy but eat something you like for dinner or have a…

I"m the same way. I've been off for a week now because of travel and jetlag. I'm not really any heavier but I feel heavier and puffy. I think my muscles are feeling lazy so that's why I feel heavier. I'm getting back to it come Monday.

It took a while to find the thread again. It's on like page 5 or something. Hopefully with us all posting it will keep it up top till everyone finds it. I wish this site had a button that took you straight there. Anyway, welcome to the new people. I post my weight as I lose it. I don't have a specific day and I don't post…

I've been on a mini vacation since Sat. and just got back yesterday. I didn't keep up with my diary cuz it was just too hard with what i was able to eat there. However, I didn't gain any weight. I actually might have lost some but I had a heavy dinner last night and dessert. We'll see how I am tomorrow. I did a ton of…

Down another .2lbs and thought I'd post it. It's not much but considering this should have been my "heavy girl" week I'm so excited that I'm losing weight. I've lost at least 1lb.

Down another .6lbs, only 14 more to go! Ticker updated.

I actually have a scale in the shape of a lego head that I got from the lego store. It's simple but works great and I just put down some plastic wrap before weighing something so I'm not always having to wash it.

I use things like spagettios, soup, light hotdogs, chicken nuggets or sometimes I have left overs from a previous night. I also sometimes add some veggies with those small cans of veggies you get on the veggie aisle.

I was very pleasantly surprised to see a 1.2lb drop this morning. I've now lost 8lbs for this challenge and 16lb overall. Only 15 more to go. Whoo hoo!
