I did walk /jog intervals on the treadmill for 23 minutes. I went over calories today but I'm not going to worry still in a deficit.

Everybody is gone. I'm all alone

hope everyone has a good night and good day tomorrow

Hi Falha, I hope you and your family get well soon , being sick for a time can be sooo draining on everyone and thing , if you have no energy and your sick you should rest i wouldnt force yourself to workout to hard, take care

Are we starting a new week ?

I weighed in yesterday , down 1lb

I hope everyone is doing well and dont forget to get those waters in, were at that time of year where the heat is on and we tend not to hydrate properly theres a couple for anyone who would like one

Hope you are feeling better today, falha I learned the hard way not to get on the treadmill when you don't feel well. Marla64 has the video

CK, congrats on the pounds lost

I discovered that if I take the incline on the treadmill down to 3 I can run faster. DUH It just dawned on me today. Don't I feel stupid.

Have a good evening

I'm still here too! I kind of gave up this week after my disappointing 4 weeks with only a pound lost. Congrats to you CK on your loss! I've not been feeling the best this week either. I think it's the time of year, and all the sick little munchkins that come to school coughing and sneezing. As a result I usually have a stellar immune system, but a little something has made it's way through. I'm going to look at wedding venues this weekend with my mom and fiance... maybe that will re motivate me. Have a great week all.
ps. maybe We should start a new thread on our own if mxburke is out? I think I may :-) Look for the post tonight! xx

Greatdanewalker, Hope you don't get sick.
Falha, hope you are feeling better today.

I am starving but I'm gonna try not to eat anything more I'm already over. I think I'm gonna have to break down and get an HRM so I can know how many calories I'm burning. I did lose and inch in my waist and an inch on my hips so that's good. But I gained an 1/2 inch in my chest. I'm just gonna have to realize I'll be and F cup forever.

Have a great day tomorrow.

hey Ivykivy,

i hope you are ok...you are an amazing person. you should be proud at losing inches....the scale doesn't determine how you feel inside....

i want to buy a hrm also, but can't because of financial issues.....i weight it out...finish school or charge things that i know i am not going to use that much and like always my education always comes on top.

hopefully when i finish school and find a great job...i can buy things i want and not really need...but who knows with a teacher's paycheck..lol

as far as "the cup size" don't beat yourself up...look at hte bright side..woman pay money for that size...you will be slim wiht a "rack" i am trying to cheer you up...i hope i didn't make matters worse..sorry if i did.

hang in and down worry...you will lose the weight with/or without the hrm.
Good luck girl.
falha

I appreciate your kindness. I guess I need to look at 6 months progress instead of 1 month. In the last year I have lost 12 inches in my waist and 12 in my hips so that is nothing to laugh at. Hopefully I'll learn to be thankful for my traffic stoppers/traveling pillow.
Thank you

Thanks ckholmes for your well wishes and congrates on the one pound loss. ...

Have a great weekend!!!

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Happy Halloween!!

I'm still here too. I just did the 30 Day Shred for the first time. Wow! I hope my endurance gets better soon.

P.S. I mostly stayed away from Halloween candy. A friend gave me an Organic Dark Chocolate bar and I have had a piece or two of that when I get tempted and it is more satisfying to me.

I blew my calories; not with candy but barbeque and fried chicken and creamed potatoes. Only 30 min of exercise today but I'm gonna make it up tomorrow.

Have a great night.

Good Morning gang,

this weekend i headed down hill, not because of the holloween candy but by avoiding candy i ate other food/sweets/junk that i am not proud of. someone gave my 3 pumpkins so i decided to make homemade pumpkin pies....well i made 3 pumpkin pies, gave one away and the rest sat on the counter....i ate one slice from the first one, and that one is all gone. i ate one slice from the second one....i tried my hardest to avoid them but i was so proud at myself for doing the whole pie, flaky crust + filling, myself. i did manage to workout on Saturday...30 minutes on the treadmill, tried to work off some of the damage i created for myself.

that was not the end of my weekend..i still had Sunday...told myself i was not going to eat pie or anything else. i was going to focus on my diet and get back on track. that didn't go so well, i ate philly soft pretzels ( i think 4) i lost count after the 3rd one....

Today is MOnday a new day....i am seriously avoiding the pie today...i can't handle a gain on the scale..and that is what's keeping me in line. i will workout today - not sure how much since i have a busy day.

I hope everyone had a better weekend than i did

falha

I hit the candy and the cocktails but I did manage to maintain, Im grateful for that!

This was officially make up Monday. I managed to undo the damage from yesterday. One holiday down two more to go!

Hope everyone had a good day!

Good Morning All:

I have had a very tough week so far...and with that said, i made very bad choices... today is a new day so i am going to exercise on the treadmill for 1 hours plus biggest loser bootcamp...cardio max, level one....i need to do this to give myself a lesson not to over do it on calories or i have to work over time exercising.

I did weigh myelf today and i was up 2 pounds...i know that is from poor eating habits and not exercising...i am expecting my TOM...but i am blaming it on my eating and not that...

why is it i do really good..start losing weight..but than i fall off the wagon...eat everything in sight and then tell myself...today is a new day but then go back to what i was doning...i realy have to work on my emotional eating....i have been stuggling with this my whole life. this is why i am this big..i can't say no to food..i give in right away. I hate myself for not having willpower.

i know it's Wednesday..so this week i will be focusing on saying NO...and having will power to say NO!!!

sorry i really needed to vent....

Hope your week gets better.

We are on track and will stay there!

I did okay over the weekend, but Monday ended up being my cheat day.

hello everyone!

What happened to the group? I hope everyone is doing good this week.

For me, i have been somewhat good this week...since Sunday is the start of the week..i managed to stay within my calorie even thought i ate 2 pieces of chicken wings... Monday was fairly normal for a school day...prep my day as normal and managed to get one hour on the treadmill before leaving to the campus...i managed to burn 500 calories and walked/jopgged for about 4 miles...i think i will mix up my days. some days i will walk for 60 minutes and other days i will do the both (walk/jog) for 60 minutes, interveals....

well let me go and prep for my class today...i have a long day today. I hope everyone is in good health.

Falha

Sunday is my cheat day but I over cheated but made up for it yesterday so I am on track. The scale moved a tiny bit. I am going back to calorie cycling. I'm going to decrease my exercise intensity and take more rest days and see if that helps.

Hope every one makes it over the hump

I have been fairly consistent on staying on goal for food and exercise. I just wish it would come off faster. I did have some pie today, but I logged it and managed to stay within my calories.

What Happened to the group????

I hope everyone is doing well and is in a positve place in life...

Please come back and lets do this all together!


Last week, for me was very tough...i lost my grand mother...to heart dease and diabities....so life is too short...lets get healthy together!

Have a Good day eveyone!

I have been wondering the same thing.

I am sorry to hear about your Grandmother, falhaone. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm still here waging war against the holiday monster.

Falha,
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. I'll be praying for you.
