Good afternoon Club 150!

Weigh-in this morning went well! I am back down to 204 which means a 2 pound loss for the week! Woohoo! TOM is coming next week so that number might change a bit.

Have a great week! You CAN do it! :cheer2:
 
Tracy!!! :banana: :banana: GOODBYE 2 pounders!!! :) That is a GREAT week! :) You are doing such a GREAT JOB!!! Give yourself a hug and look in the mirror at the changes your body is making! :) When I have 2 pound loss weeks I feel soo STRONG and ready to tackle the next week...keep that enthusiasm and TOM won't be such a pest! :)

Tara
 
:cheer2: Congrats to all.
:cool1: I actually made is downstairs this morning and did 48 minutes on my stationary bike and level 1 weight loss. I almost gave up at 30 min but figured I made it that far I might as well finish.
:mickeybar I have set a goal to limit myself to one soda per day. Even though I drink diet soda, I drink way too much. I'm not a fan of water unless it is very cold so I put it in the freezer until it starts to freeze which makes it tolerable.
Since I'm trying to start my own consulting business, I need to motivate myself downstairs and start the investment analysis for my first client. I am still keeping my other job which I work at 50 hours per week, but it will be worth it in the long run, I HOPE.

Back to the grind.
 
Congratulations all you LOSERS!!! You are doing FABULOUSLY well. Keep it up!

:sad2: Nothing weightwise for me this week, BUT another 3 trip to Curves week for me, and, after the hiatus that I've been on, this is great. Hoping for some warmer weather to do some walking on the off days, too.

ONWARD AND DOWNWARD MY FRIENDS!
 

Hey we are looking at a some great losses this week! :cool1: Y'all are doing a fantastic job!!

Debbie WTG on getting to Curves 3 times this week!

Tracy 2 pounds you never have to think of again! :cheer2:

Mel, I am holding that 173 for you! You CAN do it! I am big on rewards too! I discovered pedicures a few years ago and I use them as treats for weight loss and CDs for exercise rewards.

Tara, sending you some :wizard: for the house!

welovedis you go girl 3.4 pounds down and out! :Pinkbounc

NYcpa "applause" applause" on the workout keep up the good work!

Okay, here is my official weigh in for the week.....3 pounds Wahoo! Happy dancing here in SC! 3 more pounds to bust that pesky 180 mark!! :crazy:

And I found a card I had stuck in a book some time ago that reads...

Be patient - the ability to perservere is what separates whiners from winners!!

I want all you winners to give yourself a BIG pat on the back! AND stay away from that Valentine Candy!!! :love: :rotfl2:
 
Melissa!!!!! WAHOO!!! I can't wait to see you in the 170's...then you'll only be a stone's throw away from 150's!!! :) You can do this and 3 pounds in one week is HUGE!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: Nice knowing ya 3 pounds....never to see you again!

180's will be a distant memory come March!!! :) Let's all March into March with new numbers!!!! :)

Tara
 
Okay, I started out really well...eggs/bacon...and even a grilled chicken caesar for lunch....and 4 glasses of water...but we came home to that strawberry valentine's cake from a great bakery...I was SOOOOO good and cut a little slice probably a half a piece not an inch wide...then I went back into the kitchen to get something and noticed my daughter had not eaten her piece..and she had ROSES on it!!! AAAGH!!!! Without even slapping myself I took her plate and ate the whole thing! I was planning on skipping dinner for my transgressions..but when we went to my parents house to drop the rest of that EVIL cake off (brain cells kicking in now) my mom had ribeye steaks all fresh and hot...I had half a steak...now I know steak's not that bad but it was loaded with Dale's seasoning which is high salt and will not help my TOM weigh in tomorrow...mixed with all that sugar my body hasn't seen in 3 weeks...ugh!!!!

Just had to confess it and let it go...tomorrow is fresh and I'll stick to plan...and get my exercise in AND hopefully sell this house!!!! :)

Thanks guys! Onwards & Downwards!

Hi Tara...

I know you're feeling like crap right now, but don't dwell on it, it's not worth it. So you splurged a little. It's not like you do it every day and you'll gain 5 pounds. Just drink lots of water, get some heavy duty cardio in and you'll be fine. Good luck with the house :flower:
 
No candy!!!! I will have kids bringing me valentines treats at school all day... It will be a day of thanking them politely and after they leave dumping it into the trash! I HATE party days!!!But I feel confident today that I don't need the stuff! :cool1:
 
Tara... :grouphug: It's ok to have a treat occasionally. If you did that kinda thing everyday would be another story!

Sarahsmom...it's tough being a teacher. My mom's diabetic and her 5th graders always bring her candy and cookies during the holidays. She does just what you do...thanks them warmly, then tosses it at the end of the day!

Thanks for holding the 173 for me Tig! It worked...scale said 173.2 this am! :banana:
 
Good Morning Team!! :wave:

Tara, Tara, Tara - STOP beating your self up ;) Yes, you shouldn't have eaten the extra piece of cake but you did. My DD would tell you to "get over it". One way I have been told to flush out too much salt in the system is to drink even more water. So forget about yesterday, there is nothing you can do except enjoy what it tasted like and NOW it is back to the GOAL. You can do this - you have come too far to let alittle sugar and salt stand in your way :cheer2:

To the rest of the Team - KEEP MOVING!! :banana: Keep drinking :drinking1 and watch the evil sugar :p

WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER :grouphug:

I got back from Indiana and had a wonderful time with DD. Did NOT do well with water intake, exercise or food choices :bitelip: SO today I start back down the road to a healthy lifestyle. Who wants to join me?

Joining a fitness center today and going to start swimming. Doctor thought it would be a good choice for me. Anyone have an oxygen tank waiting :rotfl2:

Not working today - had too much to do including blood work for cholestral. Plus I didn't want to deal with a classroom of sugar highs - challenging enough when you are the sub but to pour sugar down them on top of it. YIKES!! Been a sub too many years to know that this is a good day to take off.

Have a magical Disney Day!! :earsboy:

Linda
 
I am down 2 lbs. Must be all my junk food didn't sabotage my efforts. Exercise must really help. Also drinking lots of water (which I hate).

Does anyone know why I don't get the smilies on my microsoft controlled laptop at work. I turned off the pop-up blocker but that didn't help. They work fine on my apple laptop at home

Have a great day everyone.
 
Morning gang! :sunny: Hope everyone is ready to kick booty this week! :cool1:

chimera WTG for hanging on! Claim that 173!!! :banana: :smooth:

Tara, uh, what cake? Get back to business and lose the boxing gloves! :banana:

sarahsmom73, my sister is a teacher and she hates this "holiday", too much sugar for the kids and too much sugar for her! :rotfl: Looks like you've got a good plan! :flower:

Linda gotcha air tank whenever you need it! Enjoy yourself in the poolbut don't push too hard! Hey, there are quite a few of us following you down that road :Pinkbounc !

Kathy 2 pounds that's great!! :banana: :banana:

OK everyone onward and downward!! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:
 
ChrisMiss!!! YEAH!!! :banana: You're joining a fitness club!!! WOO HOO!!!! One HUGE step for goal to 150's!!! :)

Kathy...2 pounds!!!!! :banana: :banana: See!!! I keep praising all you guys for exercising and here's the proof!!! She had junk food and LOST!!! It can be done...although I'm not promoting junk food just saying that when you exercise like Kathy...your body uses FUEL!!! We need to give it premium fuel but all fuel whether junk or good can be turned into fat...it's just whether or not we give it the chance to be used...so let's get exercising!!! :)

Tiggerkeeper!! :cheer2: Official 150 Cheerleader!! You are GREAT!!! Your words sooo kick my butt! :)

Have a GREAT DAY everyone! :)
Tara
 
:teeth: Good morning!

I woke up this morning feeling anxious and nauseous. Not a great way to start a Monday. :( I decided to go back to bed for awhile and after I got up, I worked out. I did Super Body Sculpt/ Upper Body and Kathy Smith Functionally Fit Lower Body. I'm feeling pretty tired now, but I'm hoping a healthy brunch and a nice, hot bath will take care of that.


Tara~ Today is a brand new day! No worries about yesterday! Hakuna Matata!! (This is the DISboards. I couldn't resist! ;) )

Jen~ I remember Valentine's Days as a teacher! I had students bring me donuts, candy, and flowers. Hang in there, Jen! :cheer2:

chimera~ Way to go! :cheer2:

Linda~ Have fun swimming today! :fish: :teeth:

NYcpa~ Way to go! Those two pounds are GONE!!! :wave2: Keep up the good work! :cheer2:

Tiggerkeeper~ Thanks for all of the encouragement!! :cheer2:

Have a great day everyone! You CAN do it! :cheer2:
 
Toystoryduo!!! I hope that hot bath made you feel much better!!! But WAY TO GO on moving and exercising through it! Betcha you're one of those really cute cheerleaders! :) :cheer2: You've got spirit...YES YOU DO!!! I just love all the encouragment from you guys!!! It really lifts me and makes me want to say YES I CAN DO THIS!!!!!

Did any of you watch Oprah today? I caught the last 10 minutes and thought...that's just what I need is a 12 week boot camp...it's a short enough time to keep me focused...looking at July 4th seems daunting at times...but 12 weeks can go by like that! So I'm going to check out her website and see what all is entailed...but it might help some of you who need a little extra push now and then. Sometimes I feel like I need a steel-toe SHOVE out the door to get moving! :) It was 68 and beautiful here today so I did make the kids walk a mile with me to a neighborhood park...and I'm going to do 45 minutes of pilates tonight too. Let's get moving and shaking guys!!!! :)

....I think the Oprah site is having too many hits...my dial-up can't get through..if any others check out this boot camp and want to share the details...please do! :)

I hope this pastes right....

You have eight workouts a week with one day of rest.
Six days a week, you do 20 minutes of resistance training using dumbbells. Choose a weight that's heavy enough to tire the muscle by the 12th rep—most women begin with five to ten pounds (Oprah's using 15 pounds for the biceps and 12 for all the other moves; the rest of the team is starting with eight). If you already weight train, go through your upper-body exercises. Try some of Oprah's favorites!
Each session includes a cardio workout. Start with 30 minutes, five days a week, and on the sixth day, double the time to an hour. But here's the trick: The more comfortable a workout is, the less effective, so the aerobics are designed to constantly up the metabolic ante. Oprah and her team are using treadmills and increasing the challenge every two minutes by raising the speed, incline, or both. The idea is to continually push yourself a little further than you thought you could go, until you get to the point where you can talk but don't want to.
Every day, take it up a notch; staying at the same level is the biggest mistake people make. Don't be afraid to jack up that incline!
Every week, extend the aerobics sessions by two minutes (week two would be 32 minutes and 64 on the long workout). So by the end of the three months, you'll be doing almost an hour a day, and double that on the sixth session.
On top of all of this, you do a second half-hour workout two days a week. This session is a combination of cardio and strength training that Oprah learned from John Travolta's trainer, Steve Maye: Every five minutes, you alternate between the treadmill and a series of floor moves: situps, squats, and biceps curls and lateral raises with the hand weights. "You sweat a lot," she says. "I wouldn't do this if I wasn't in boot camp."
Before taking even one step, sign and date your Oprah's Boot Camp contract with yourself. Stick it on your fridge as a reminder of your daily

And for the food it says stick to lean meats, two fruits a day and all the green vegetables you want...after one month you can add whole wheat grains in slowly....(ouch!) It also said you could have one cheat day where you could have a piece of cake, a bowl of pasta or something like that and I can't remember how often..maybe once a month?

I think I'll try this...anyone else willing to go 12 weeks?

Evening All!! :wave:

Tara - WOW!! What a program!! I am going to have to say that I will root you on but not totally participate. Too much structure on the workouts. YOU GO GIRL!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

Well team went to the fitness center and became a member. Tomorrow is my first day with swimming........breathe remember breathe!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

My doctor just called to tell me that besides losing weight I need to go lower fat than I am. My cholestral, triglycerides and LDL are not good, not horrible but not good. YIKES!! The worst offender is the triglycerides!! Low fat diet here I come!!

So on that happy note :rolleyes: I wish you all a Happy Valentines Day!!

Have a magical Disney Day!! :earsboy:
 
Tara - THANKS so much for the post. The last two days have been horrible for the diet. I'm very glad at this point that Valentine's day is behind me because I fell off the wagon and I think I ate it. :rotfl:

I went to the Oprah web site and I realized that my workouts after 7 months are flat. After I do the first mile I'm not really breathing hard. I'm going to take it up a notch. :bounce: :bounce: I just loved their ideas and I"m definitly going to extend 2 min each week and have an 1 hr session on the weekends. :cool1:

THANKS for ALL the GREAT ideas and Motivation!

Tracy
 
Wow! Oprah's boot camp sounds challenging - and fun! I'll go check out the website and get more info.

I've got my race on President's Day (and will probably need a couple of days to recuperate) - but I'm game to start boot camp the week of Feb 28.

Let's do it!
