Moving through May
As we all know, diet is only a small part of weight loss. The biggest part is getting our buns in gear! My activity goal for May is to average 5000 steps a day. (That's up @500 from April.) I'm also getting a bike out of the shed this weekend so I can start riding a few days a week. I have three to choose from, an old…

What's your favorite form of exercise?
I'm primarily a walker. I walk around the pond at work, and take the dogs out at home. I'd love a treadmill or elliptical for winter time. I like to ride bikes, but that's more recreational than for fitness. I tend to get bored riding alone, and my kids aren't interested in riding with me. They are seniors this year and…

Cold Weather Motivation
I just can't seem to get excited about exercise. This cold rainy weather we've been having only makes me want to don my pajamas, and climb into bed with Netflix or a book. I've had a couple good "step" days, but walking around in stores, I'm throwing my budget out of whack! Both of you girls are great at getting your…

Fourth of July Plans? Strategies?
It's gonna be really weird not marching in the 4th of July parade with my marching bands kids! They've all graduated and I'm off the hook! I'll still watch the parade and cheer on the other kids we know. Invited to a BBQ before the fireworks, so I'll see more of them there... Just have to remember to take some diet soda…

Saturday, April 1st
So, what is everyone doing today? I have to work this morning, but I'm already up and out of the house, so that's a good thing! I've got some errands to run, have a to do list to get my living room ready to paint, and I'm planning to hit the treadmill at the Y later. Love having a place to walk when it's cold outside, and…

Week 7 - Dec 12 to Dec 18
Well, I'm up a pound this week. Boo! I had a huge party on Saturday, and munched on dill pickle sunflower seeds in the car on Sunday. I'm guessing a lot will be water retained from the extra high sodium. I brought extra water to work and really gotta get my steps in every day. Since we're just 3 weeks from the New Year,…

Are you a Halloween candy lover?
It's been nice this year because my boys are in high school. They planned and shopped for their costumes and activities with their friends. I dodged the candy temptation bullet because I don't even have to be home tonight! No candy bought= no candy leftovers! Theresa K

Weekend Plans?
I've got several things to work on this weekend. First, I'm emptying boxes in my living room. That's been an ongoing process since we sold our other house in April. I've got a round coffee table and a kid's bike to take to Goodwill. I still haven't replaced my broken futon but it hasn't stopped the teenagers from sitting…

Week of August 28th
Hi everyone! I joined the group this morning, even though it's just days from Labor Day. I was on this journey with you all before, but life got in the way this year. I hadn't kept up with the new groups, and haven't been logging consistently. I fell off the "not eating meat" wagon, which gave me too much freedom to…

Fitbit users?
I thought several of you in our group used a Fitbit. Do you find they are accurate? What activities are you doing? I mostly walk and ride my bike but occasionally use a DVD. How do you track exercise from an aerobics-type class? Or lifting weights? Trying to motivate myself to be more active and more accurate in my…

Hip Hop Abs or Rocking Body?
I'm trying to find a fun dance-based exercise program to use with one of my boys. He's 15, and within the standard height/weight table but he get softs around the middle (kinda like his mom!) I was hoping I could find something fun for all of us to do together, that won't seem like so much work. I'm not putting him on a…
