So TOM is here, and I've not been eating so good, so I am just hoping so sweat out all of the bad today! I've done 66 minutes of Zumba, gonna get a Biggest Loser workout in, and then a nice long walk tonight! I'm already dripping in sweat from the Zumba though! Our team totally killed the calories burned challenge. I love…

Woohoo NSV NSV!!! My mom brought over a bag of clothes that she figures she will never fit into again, and although some of the pants weren't my style I figuerd I'd try them on. Well I saw a pair of size 8's and thought ha this should be funny. So I put them on and zipped them up!! No problems! I even squeeeeeeezed my butt…

I usually burn my calories by doing (usually) 30-50 minutes of the Biggest Loser game on the Wii, then usually 20-30 minute workout video (I have quite the collection, but when trying to ramp up my cals burned like to do kickboxing ones), then in the evenings I go for a 1-2 hour walk/run.

Hey guys, while I have some internet connection I thought I'd say hi! We have a storm with some crazy rain and wind which keeps knocking out our internet! This weekend sucked foodwise, although I think I got ALL of my cravings out of the way. Stupid TOM is here and I'm a little scared for the weigh in :( I've been doing…

Up and Downs are also known as "Burpees" "1.Begin in a standing position. 2.Drop into a squat position with your hands on the ground. 3.Kick your feet back while lowering yourself with a pushup. 4.Return your feet to the squat position while straightening your arms. 5.Leap up as high as possible from the squat position…

You look wonderful!! Keep up the amazing work :)

That's an awesome improvisation, thanks for the idea! Guess I gotta buy some milk!

It was a "biggest loser" type contest within my mommy group that started me on my weight loss journey! I actually won it, losing 40 lbs in 4 months (21% of my body weight). I was extremely diligent. Portion controlled (used the smaller dessert plates for my meals, measured EVERYTHING), I ran 4-5x a week, did strength…

Thanks :) I am doing minimal weight lifting (if you can call it that!) I only have 5 lb. dumbells but I do most of my workouts with them. I have no access to a gym, so that's the best I can do. Ah well, I know it will eventually go away if I keep working at it, just want it gone now!

Blah. Anyone have lots of loose skin? I took my usual weekly pictures, and even though I'm losing weight, I feel like I'm looking bigger. My tummy is just full of loose skin :( I was so excited to take my first pictures in the 140s and they were so disappointing! Anyway, that's my little rant of the day. Stupid loose skin!

Good morning everyone! I'm reeeeally trying to meet my mini goal of 145 by the end of this week, mind you that would be over a 3 lb. loss so I'm not holding my breath but I sure am pushing for it. I've set my calorie goal at 3,000 but I'm really going to try for 4,000. Yesterday got off to a great start. I did: Kickboxing…

Still Wednesday here too, but tomorrow will be a wild rice rice pilaf, panko chicken, with broccoli and carrots.

My vote is for the yellow team as well!

I'm going to set my goal at 3,000. I'm really gonna try for more though! I'm down 600 today so that's a start!!

Week 5, let's go!!! I've got 2 weeks (and 1 day!) to get to my mini goal for my birthday I have 3.4 lbs!! As always I'll get the emotional and recipe challenge out of the way, here we go! Emotional Challenge: What excuses have you made (to yourself or others) in the past for your weight, and how do you stop yourself from…

Hey guys, am I the only one on the west coast? I'm always last to post! Anyways I just woke up and I'm pretty freaking excited that I still had a loss after my pretty slack week!

Love this weeks challenge, sounds great!

Thanks you guys, means a lot to know you're here!!! To sum it up I've been weighing my options of whether to stay with my boyfriend or if I should go. There's been so much going on, and it's been building for the last year or so. But I KNOW I need you guys, because as soon as I get stressed out I've been pigging out (and…

Hey guys, I'm really sorry I've been so MIA lately. I have a lot of crap going on in my life, and part of me thinks I should pull out because it's not fair to our team. I really enjoy being a part of this, so I"m gonna try my best to continue to make an effort. I just wanted you guys to know I'm still working on this all,…

Thanks you guys :) Just been a long and frustrating past few days! Amy: So glad you tried it! And yay for checking something off the list!! Also have a blast at Six Flags, I wish we had something like that nearby!! Tayla: Ohhh Insanity - let me know how you like it! I've been interested in it. Have a blast at family things…

Well I know I'm late to respond, and you've already made dinner, but this is a great baked coconut shrimp recipe. http://weelicious.com/2011/04/04/coconut-baked-shrimp/

I didn't get any exercise in today, and didn't eat well. My boyfriend and I are having some problems, so I've spent the last 2 nights at my mom's house while she is out of town, to cool down and work on things. My mom has no food in the house, and I am broke - so I've been making do. Without my Wii or the stroller getting…

Oh I so understand where you are coming from, I think none of my friends weigh more than 120 lbs. (and they're all 5'6+)! I have always always been the chubby friend. But I've now lost 50 lbs. and still have more to go, but we all hung out the other night, and it was the first time I didn't feel like the chubby friend (in…
