Great job! We are going to put a treadmill in our living room temporarily until we get the basement cleaned out.

I've been slacking the last 4-5 days. I completely stopped tracking. My son's birthday was this week so we had pizza and of course dessert! Then the leftover dessert... you can see where that is going. So I haven't been as "bad" as I was before but I don't know that I will see much of a loss on Tuesday... hopefully not a gain. If I do, well I earned it. lol

I've been doing schoolwork all morning and I think it's time I get off my butt and try one of my new workout videos. I will check back later and let you all know how badly I hurt myself!

Thanks! I have been trying to track even when I have been bad. Let us know which videos you used and if you liked them.

Ok. Well thank God it was only a 20 minute DVD. I was dying by the end and the only thing that kept me going was Jillian saying only a couple more minutes! I hope I can keep this up every day. This was the first time I worked out in um, years. How do I figure out activity points for something like this?

On a much more positive note, my husband found a home gym on craigslist for $60 that sells for $500! So we are going to go pick that up tonight!

I used Jillian's 30 day Shred today. I liked it. There were modifications I could do to pretty much every move to make it easier if I needed to and by the end I needed to! But the dvd is only 20 minutes long so I didn't give up. If it had been longer I might have. It is easy to do the moves and she helps guide you through them so you don't hurt yourself. I could see where this could get boring but as you progress there are 2 more workouts that increase in difficulty.

I also bought her yoga dvd and 6 pack abs (I think). I think I'm just going to stick with this one for now though. Those 2 are longer, 30 min and 55 min I think.

Yay! Down 3.6, for a total of 12.0 so far. I know it's mostly water and the getting adjusted to returning to the program, but it's encouraging!

Congrats to everyone, and best wishes for an on-plan weekend!

We had steamed crabs yesterday, which I know will make me retain fluids. But this morning my weight was the same as yesterday, so that's encouraging! Dgd's birthday party is today so we are having a light lunch (one leftover crab each plus watermelon), so I can have pizza at the party.

Congrats to all on the good weight loss reports.

Been away for a few weeks with the boys camps, and prepping for back to school.

WI today and I was down an additional 3.2 lbs, losing all 6 lbs I gained on my three and a half week vacation in FL in July!! Was very excited for that! Just 3.7lbs more to hit the 10% target (unfortunately again), then 18.3lbs to goal!

I've found a cute motivator that I have right in my kitchen of a just 2 small jars - one filled with glass beads. The one with glass beads has on it "Pounds to Lose" the other "Pounds Lost". Every time I lose a pound I move a bead to the "lost" jar. I really enjoy seeing the beads collecting in that jar, especially when I want to grab a night time snack. After cleaning up after dinner, I put the jars front and center on my counter so I have to see it to get to the fridge.

Hope everyone has been having great weeks.

Congrats on your weight loss everyone! If you didn't have a loss, don't give up! It'll come back down!

I went pants shopping today. I am down another size, which makes three total! I actually tried on skinny jeans in Old Navy and they fit! It has been a long time since shopping for jeans was not a traumatic experience!

I love this idea I lost 2lbs this week (my first -this time around anyway!) and havve decided to put £2 cash in a jar for every lb I lose so that hopefully I will have the funds for a new wardrobe when I reach goal (or mini-goal along they way)

This made me smile I'm determined not to shop for clothes until I'm down a size. Which is my excuse for looking rather faded and worn out at the minute

My legs are still sore from the workout video the other day. I have to work tonight so I am going to hold off doing it again just yet. I'm already stiff and walking slowly. No need to make that worse! Tomorrow is weigh in and I will see how much damage I did with the peanut butter pie from my son's birthday!
