I'm back (said with that sing-song voice)
So I used myfitnesspal 2 years ago and lost 30 pounds. I've gained it all back. :( My goal now is to lose 50 pounds and keep it off. My daughter also has that plan, so we are working together. But it's so hard the first week or two - I'm already tired of salad - and it's only day 3! I'm the type that needs a lot of…

Cycling Junkies Out There?
I've come up with a new nickname for myself - "Cycleborg". I got those clip on shoes now, so I 'become one with the bike'. I really like the clips though. I feel more pull in my thighs as I now cycle a complete circle instead of just pushing down. My husband and I ride 2-3 days a week an average of 45-60 minutes at 17-18…

Zumba
I took a Zumba class at a health club I had free membership to for 3 weeks (that was great, but I can't afford that in my real life!). I LOVED it! Zumba is a cross between latin/salsa/mamba, jazz, and belly-dancing. It's very high energy and made me sweat!!!! :happy: Does anyone participate regularly in Zumba? Are there…

Agghhh - Bicycling issues
OK - so I need to vent. I'm working this exercise thing so hard (and well) but today's ride really sucked! My chain kept coming off the wheel thing (I'm not technical with this stuff), but my husband got that fixed on the ride and things are going great when a little over 1/2 way through the ride this HUGE bug smacked me…

Seeing Double: Twins and chins!
OK - my sister and I returned from a great weekend in Twinsburg, OH, but looking at some of the pictures is really motivating me to keep focused on losing the weight. Not only do we see double everywhere (over 2000 sets of twins) but my double (or more?) chin really pains me to see! I'll post the pics, just because I think…

I've got a goal...
Hello New Friends (or at least I hope to make some new friends from this). My sister, and sister-in-law, and I each need to lose 40 (or more) pounds, so we made a "contract". We are to encourage each other, and support each other all along the way. It is not a competition for who can lose the most. If we all meet our goal,…
