DebLaf

Hi I am interested in doing this but I do not have the P90X yet, have been wanting it. I have a lot to lose at least 60 pounds and I am motivated by your weight loss. Can you give some details on how much you exercised and what your diet was like? You also mentioned modifiers, I don't know what that is. What is your goal?

Good Morning, I am excited to find this group. My name is Deb and it has been 4 years since I have been active on myfitnesspal. I really need some motivation and support. My goal is to lose 2 to 2 1/2 pounds per week so October goal is about 8-10 pounds. I am just getting started today and have walked for 30 minutes this…

Hi Ladies, I am so glad to find you. Remember me? We'll I hope a few of you do. I was doing great with the sixers a while back, but became overwhelmed with my studies (nursing school) and dropped out of sight for a while. I really missed all of you. Is it ok if I join back in with you again? I have regained all that I had…

Good Morning all, Didn't stick with my meal planning through the weekend. My new goal will have to be more days planning and less days "off". I hope it doesn't show up on the scale tomorrow. I did get a plan for today already and have confidence I will stick to it. I have some lower back pain again this morning and that…

I missed yesterday due to school, shopping, dinner, & bed. I really missed a busy day around here, so sorry if these are a little “late”. I’ve had a couple of good days and a couple of just ok days, but I weighed in today to find I had not lost anything. Not happy about that.:grumble: We are expecting a big snow storm…

Hi All, Everyone seems eager to get in shape for spring. I didn't stick to my meal plan so well yesterday, some left over chocolates started calling me. But today I am back on track and got in a great workout at the community center. I burned 559 calories in one hour. That is very good for me. I have a meal planned for…

Good Morning, I hope everyone is ready for this challenge. Spring is right around the corner and we will all have to pull out our shorts and tank tops and want to look better in them this year than we did last year. I put all of our stats so far together so now when you want to post you can copy, paste, and add your stats.…

Hi all, Cathy, I'm with you, didn't do so great this time around but am ready for the new challenge. See you there. fianl weigh in........................................

Hi All, Guess what? I have a plan for today. First time in a long time, but I am proud of it. :happy: Does anyone know the amount of fat, protein, sodium, & fiber we should get in a 1200 calorie day? Today: 1: Skim milk, coffee w/creamer, bran muffin 2: orange, bran muffin & skim milk 3:spinach salad w/ grilled chicken…

Good Morning Ladies, Done with mid-terms and I think I did pretty well. Yeah! I'm excited about the new challenge and our weather getting warmer. I must make weight loss my priority to lose the weight for this challenge. I did it before I can do it again. I can't wait to get my bike out again and just start walking…

Good Morning All, Pedal, Hope you feel better soon and get lots of energy back when you do.:flowerforyou: Katie, At least it wasn't a gain & good job getting to the gym. Didn't exercise, eat well, or get in much water yesterday. I had a sore lower back and felt tierd. Today I am feeling better, still a little soreness (I…

Hi Ladies, I updated my ticker & current weight with a big gain. I've got a million excuses for it, but they really don't matter. I need to make the changes & stick with it., still working on getting the motivation back. Cathy, Thanks for starting the post this week & you have an overall loss, so you are still headed in…

Hi Ladies, Lauryn, So good to hear from you. Thanks for all the personals. It is totally understandable that you have not been here as regularly with the situation you are dealing with. Good Job on managing not to gain with all thats going on. Keep up the positive attitude: that helps in a HUGE way. :heart: Welcome…

Good Morning All, I just got in a good workout at the community center this morning and am feeling pretty good. I have studying to do now for a test tomorrow, so I will check in later but may not check in at all tomorrow. Kristen, Good to see you posting again, things aren't the same when your not around.:happy: Pedal,…

Hi All, Sorry I've been MIA lately. Lot's going on, but DH managed to keep his job through all the recent cuts. We really are thankful for that, but don't know what to expect in the future. I have gained a lot over the past week. So much that I am embarrassed to post. Can I just wait until next week and pray for a better…

Hi All, Sorry about missing a couple of days there. My weight is up from Tue. almost 2 whole pounds, which was unexpected. Now I feel kind of down about it. Add to that the worrying about DH job and our financial situation and boy I just don't feel like exercising or watching calories. I should exercise though, because I…

Good Morning, Well I am down from last week ( sorry, I must have forgot to change my ticker last week), but up from my starting weight. Not as bad as I thought though. I have moments during the day where I tell myself I am really going to get with the program, but then I get caught up in the moment and before I realize…

Hi All, Amylou, Cute photo and sorry I don't know how to unzoom it. Pedal, Mmmm I wonder if I could try those cupcakes out on my family for the superbowl this weekend. You are really on a roll; leaving the 170's sounds like a great place to be. Good for you. You're awesome. Katie, Thanks for sharing the little poems with…

Good Morning All, Katie, Glad to hear you loved that step class, are you going to continue? Lauryn, Wow! :heart: Love for killer yoga. It has so many benefits. I haven't done yoga in a while, but I will pull out my yoga dvd and do it this week. Tamm, Sounds like your really doing good. Working out at the hotel and avoiding…

Hi Everyone, Quick check-in. I hate to have to report the same old thing. I stayed the same since Tuesday. :blushing: I really need to get out of this mode and put more importance on this. Time is such an issue and I just don't seem to have the energy I need to get so much done and exercise & plan the healthy meals. You…

Hi All, Just have a minute. Today was a long day at school and many errands on the way home. Cathy, Are you still in pain? I hope not since it sounds like you have several more days before your surgery. Amylou, Are you trying to make us all jealous with that wonderful weather? Be careful you may end up with a bunch of…

Hi, Just thought I'd pop in for a moment to see what's going on. Seems a little slow. Pedal, so glad to hear things are falling together for you. That will be the key for this to last your lifetime rather than yo-yo dieting. I have been meaning to get a new picture uploaded to the site. I will do that this…

Hi Ladies, I am getting back into the groove of homework & tests again. This time I am not as motivated to lose the weight, but I'm not giving up. It is just hard when you have a household to run & school & feeling a little tierd. I did get a good workout in today, but tomorrow will almost be impossible. Where does…

Good Morning, Well, I'm down from last week, but still up from our starting weight. I know I need to get on the ball;still looking for the right motivation. I am tierd this morning and am having a hard time taking myself into exercising. Cathy, You have a lot going on right now. It's terrible that you have to deal with all…

I got to the community center for my monday workout. I am always glad to get it in, because once the day gets going and I think I can get it in later, it never happens. I have been pretty good with my meals today, but am thinking about going out to dinner and don't know that I can handle it without eating too many…

Good Morning Ladies, I missed thurs & fri and just read all the posts. A lot has been going on. My friday weight was down 0.4lb, not much but I didn't expect much. I don't know what is holding me back from getting to counting calories again. I really don't like to have to do it, but know that it is important for me to lose…

Hi All, I had a pretty busy day, but got in a good workout. I was very sore from Mondays workout. My classes start again tomorrow, so Thursdays will be a late check-in if at all. We are about 6 degrees Farenheit and it is supposed to be -5 Friday morning (not including windchill). This kind of weather makes me just want to…

Hi Katie, Welcome again. We have two Katies now; your name is spelled different, so that will help us. I had to laugh that you were still happy after shoveling snow. I shoveled today too. What state do you live in? Good luck with your goal.:happy:

Hi Pedal, Have you considered going back to weighing only once a week? If you want to do that we could have a buddy system if that would be helpful. Do you ever ALLOW yourself to have something that is not really healthy, but a treat that you enjoy? I ask because I am working on changing my thinking; all-or-nothing or diet…
