Coming back
Hi all, I havent been on this site in about a year I think. I had lost over 40 lbs but after having some marital issues I gained all that back and more. I have never weighed this much in my entire life and I am embarrassed by it also. I hope that I can do it this time and stick to it. So here I go again.

It has taken a while
It has taken since August but I have lost over 40 lbs now. I still have 100 to go but I am proud of what I have done. I wish it was going faster but at least I am getting it done. I would still like to lose at least 55 before Sept when we go to Disney that way I will be less than 200 lbs by then. Connie

Power Music
Has anyone ever bought any music from this website. My step teacher says that is where she gets her music from so I was thinking of getting some but they can get expensive. About $23 for a cd. But the beats are awesome and I know it would help my workouts. Connie

ChaLean Extreme day 1
Well I got the ChaLean Extreme program in the mail yesterday and started it today. It certainly is a hard workout. Although I think I can actually go up in weights for some of the moves. Right now I started with 5 lb and 8 lbs but I may have to go and buy some 10 lbs weights. Is anyone else on here doing this program? If…

Im going to be a test subject
Of a sort. My step class teacher is a professor at the university here and she teaches physiology or something like that. Her class this semester is doing something about the resting heart rate of an obese patient. She asked if I would like to be their first subject. I said sure so now I get to go and get my true resting…

Diet tribe on Lifetime
So how many people watched this show last night? I just watched it and it made me cry when the ladies were weighing their selves. I really know how Morgon felt though. When I first started this I weighed 297 and I swore I would not let myself get over 300. I really like the show so far and the trainer is SO CUTE...... I…

Needing new shoes
I have some Nikes that I got a couple of months ago and since then I have really been trying to get my exercise in. My right ankle has been hurting and it is a little swollen but I didnt do anything to it. My step teacher said that my ankles are weak right now and that I need better shoes with lateral support. Does anyone…

Someone noticed
Well my father in law happened to walk up to our house today and I went outside to check on my boys who were supposed to be coming home. He looked surprised and told me I look like I had lost a lot of weight. I havent had many people say anything to me yet so it felt great to hear. Connie

I got me a Polar F6
It came ups last night and so this morning I used it for my workout. It is different having a chest strap but so far I really like it. I only had a strapless one before that I used all the time. I did wear it for 2 hours last night while watching tv in bed and I burned 200 calories just by doing that. I only burned 383…

Good Morning all my smurfs. I hope everyone had a great weekend.

How do we actually know....
what our true BMR is. I think mine might be lower than what MFP has me at. I was laying in bed and decided to do my HRM and I have a low resting heart rate. Is that going to make me burn less calories when Im not doing anything. After my baby was born I was actually admitted to the hospital because my heart rate was to…

For all the ones that have lost lots of weight
I am just curious as to how your body looks after losing a lot of weight. I have alot of weight to lose and I am thinking that I am going to have alot of skin hanging on my tummy after I lose it. After losing the weight do you think I might need a tummy tuck or something like that to get rid of the excess skin. I want to…
