I did a Zumba class yesterday that totally kicked my butt, and I am feeling it today...but its the type of sore that I have missed...the one that says I worked hard. It truly has me motivated. My goals this week:

Say goodbye to the 180's forever.

WATER ( I really need to get back on board with this)

Do strength training at the gym x3

Cardio x5 (this includes the gym, walking outside, riding my bike, or doing a video....whatever I can get in).

Do something for me this week.

Post on here (forum, blogs, or comments) at least one time a day..... This will be a challenge for me, but I have been terrible the past few weeks and i want to be more supportive.

Have a great day all!

Gina....Great job maintaining and staying motivated! That's what makes a successful loser. Good luck this next week.

Sorry i missed another weigh in guys. I was across the state at my parents house for my brothers wife's baby shower. And they dont have internet access. I will be back on to weigh in next week. COUNT ON IT. Mark it down. Bet the house on it (wait dont do that, too much pressure)

ROCKSTARS, I am gone til tomorrow Please encourage one another, especially is someone didnt check in for weigh in this week - this team and encouragement is so important!

Lara's so right...the encouragement is what helps make us successful. And I've told her that even though I'm close to my goal weight, I rely on this forum and eveyone's encouragement. I know that once I've reached my goal, the battle isn't over....because then I have to maintain that weight and reach the point that the healthy eating and exercising habits are so much a part of my life that I no longer have to give them any thought, I'll just do them. I hope you all have a great week!

Hi Shana...we'll all be here pulling for you. Remember you don't have to cut out snacking...you just need to find healthy snacks. I eat three good healthy meals a day, and 2-3 snacks (mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and evening). I figure those into my daily allotment of calories and log everything so that I don't go over my daily maximum. Some mid-day snacks that I have include a nutrition bar (140-180 calories), or a fruit, or a dish of berries, or any healthy thing that is right around 100-180 calories. My evening snack is normally one of those 100-calorie bags of popcorn...I love the kettle corn. You don't want to feel deprived...just figure the snacks into your total daily allotment of whatever eating plan you're on. This helps to keep you from getting overly hungry and also keeps your metabolism revved up. Have a good week!

Sorry I missed the weigh in. My husband's been online paying bills, and then on Craigslist for several hours. I will try to get online Saturday next weekend to log in my weight. I didn't lose any weight this week. I was exhausted from my vacation and then trying to be available for my mom who's got a lot of stressful issues and I am her only child and only family left. It's been really hot and humid here and I have been doing "summer cleaning" trying to get ready for the next schoolyear which is coming fast. My kids go back August 4th. I have to do the inventory so I know what to get them for this next year.

I am proud of you all for losing weight and doing so well!!!!

Hey Rockstars! Hope you all had a great weekend! Sorry I haven't been around much to cheer you on, but I have been completely exhausted all the time. I am happy to report that I didn't gain any weight this week even though I gave into to quite a few of my cravings

My goals for the week:

Water 64 oz per day
Walk 1 hour x 5 days
Yoga or Pilates x 3 days
Prenatal vitamin daily

Have a great week Rockstars!

Hi buddies,
I feel like I keep on saying this every week and never follow through but I am going to start participating in the forum more. It gets confusing sometimes especially since every time I log on there are pages and pages of posts! I will do my best to read them.

I lost another 3 pounds this week which I am shocked about since I had a 3 day workout hiatus but I did step it up during the end of the week. I am SOOO ready to be out of the 300’s!

Goals for the week:
-treadmill 6 days
-WATER
-be a better buddy

hey guys,
well, i went out 2 eat w/ some friends 2nite n ate a lil unheathly. i had a slice of pizza (1 SLICE...lol) n dt. coke. than when i got home a walked at a gd pace 4 an hr up n down a lil hill/hump. it wasn't much but it better than sitting i guess. ne wayz, since i gained 2 more pds this wk instead of losing it I'm gn 2 try even harder this wk. so g'luck rockstarz lets rock those scales this wk!
