I was at the Dr. with my daughter recently. She is an avid swimmer(indoor all winter..and lifequards the summer.) She is also a runner..only she hurt her knee recently(that's why we were at the Dr.) She is at the gym almost daily. She probably weighs 5 -10 lbs more that the weight chart says she should. You would NEVER know that to look at her. She is thin.(reminds me of the old days..but that's another story! ) It's muscle..I mean her legs are rocks. You can see defined claves..and she does run 5K's and mini marathons. She's very active. There is no way that she needs to loose a single pound...let alone 10. Eats very healthy(Is she part of our family..??) Dr. said the same thing, she has muscle and that weighs more than fat.

You all make perfect sense! I eat healthy too. Lots of fruit, veggies, whole grains and fish. I do make at least some exercise part of my daily routine, even if its just hula hooping while talking on the phone or something. I am chubby.....unfortuantely I can't claim to have rock hard and sculpted legs like Auntie's DD.....darn!

Thank you all! It's so nice to have the perspective of this board!!!!!

Well, I got my Wii Fit today. It is pretty cool. I will unlock more excercises as I score higher. I will be honest the strength training made me a little sore. You have to keep repeating the activities though to get enough reps but it's good. As you go along you get more and more excercises that are harder. I think it will be fun, we will see what I get for results.

I got mine yesterday too! I only had an hour to play around with it and I had to fight with DH and DS. I could still hear them laughing when I went to bed. I will try it some more today. I didn't like the fat that it aged me at 60 years old and said I was obese. I'm only 46, but then again my 18 year old was aged at 30. I don't think I'm having a very good week because my weight hadn't changed on it. It was still the same as last Friday.

Hula hooping while your on the phone. You crack me up. Feeling good in your own skin is the most important part.

Good job on the treadmill Rhonda. I've done good this week too. This holiday weekend might be a different story.

You all seem to eat healthy. I don't. Whats my problem?

I am weighing in today because I won't have time the next few days to get on here. I have lost 2lbs. I have lost a total of 5lbs now. I am really excited. So far I have just been watching what I am eating. I need to get my lazy butt up and exercise. I really want to I just don't. Maybe next week I will start riding my bike.

I'm with ya sista, lol.

 

[3gr8kids]

That sounds great! We have a PS3...they need to come out with something like that!

Not sure Ami, but check and see if they have DDR for PS3. We have one for our PS2, and on it they have an exercise mode. I have done it and you really can work up a good sweat.

 

[VACAMPER]

I weighed in and i'm down 2 pounds, Total loss of 5.6. Hope i can hang on the weekend. Hope everyone else has a good weigh in.

 

[Rhonda]

Well, not great. I'm down 1 more pound. Oh well - at least it's in the right direction!

 

[VACAMPER]

every pound counts! Pick up a pound of buttter out of your fridge. It seems like more when you do that.

 

[PolynesianPixie]

I've lost a total of about 4 lbs now. Not the 10 I was hoping for before Europe...but I'm not complaining! Like Rhonda said...at least its in the right direction! Actually, I weighed myself yesterday and its a good thing because I'm kind of up a pound today....but I'm not counting it. I woke up with my hands and lips swollen again. Sure enough, the fig newtons I had with my kids last night had soy in them! When am I going to learn???????

 

[terri01p]

Congrats to everyone on their weight loss !

Ami sorry about the swollen lip and hands...ouch...hope it passes quickly !

 

[We4mickey]

Well, I didn't think I had a good week and I didn't I lost nothing, zip, zilch, nada. I'm still down 7 so at least I didn't gain. Congrats to those who have lost. I need to get with it this week.

Hey all,

Well, things have not been good here. DH is in the hospital and they are taking out his left kidney. They say if we hadn't gone in when we did we could have lost him. So needless to say(even though I am in a hospital)I have not weighed in. I am glad to hear that everyone is doing well. I did however try my Wii Fit before all this happened, and I was sore for 3 days! I can't wait to get back home(with my DH) and do it again. I will be checking in as much as I can, I need some place to get things out of my mind. Talk to you all soon!

Nicole

 

[terri01p]

Hey Nicole I'm so sorry about your dh and trust me whenever I say I know just how sick that makes a person....we almost lost my dd two yrs ago and she lost one kidney back then as well...she was sick for so long but she's just fine now. I know that doesn't help but do know there is a light at the end of that very long tunnel. He will be in our prayers and I'm going to a prayer night at my church tomorrow and I will add him to the list. God Bless

Ok I don't even want to talk diet because this week has been nothing but a food frenzy !

 

[RvUsa]

Nicole, our prayers are with you and your family, if you need us to vent, we are all here for you!

 

[ntsammy5]

Nicole-- that's terrible. Our prayers are with you all. When you get a chance, let us know what's happening.
