Hey Everyone I took a small hiatus (only four months??!!!???) but I'm back. I'm committed to eating better and getting back to the crazy workout schedule I had during the winter. Tomorrow is my first spin class since January and I am so frightened yet so excited!!!!!!!!

Hey Everyone.....So I took some time off (ok, ok, 4 months worth of time!) but anyways, I got a good slap from my nutritionist and doctor, and I'm back to spinning. My first class since January is tomorrow night....and I actually can't wait!!!!

So one year ago today, I was just waking up after surgery. And I felt like crap. Today, I feel great. I'm only down 45lbs since the surgery, and I feel like I could have done so much better, but at the same time, I'm soooo glad that the 45lbs is gone for good! Happy Anniversary Marchies!

Hey Peeps, sorry, but I've fallen off the exercise wagon! I haven't worked out in a while, but the good thing is I'm still losing, so I'm not gonna complain right now! Wedding planning has been super super crazy! Bought the dress, I can't believe they had one that fit me! So next weekend we're getting the dresses for the girls! I'll be checking in again!

Alynne, congrats on getting past goal. I look to you for inspiration since I have similar stats and I'm just soo happy for you and hope that one day I can get there! How were your LBL results? Did you post pics on your LBL thread?

Alynne, I just want to say that I'm soo excited that you've decided to share your pictures with us. You are looking unbelievable so far! Looks like everything is healing nicely. I know that all of this work with totally be worth it in the end. I'm sooo happy for you!

My leg was feeling better yesterday so 30 minutes walking today. Tomorrow I'm hitting it hard at spin!

Never noticed, but I'll check it out this weekend!

You rock babygrl! I'm taking a short break from working out this week, I think I pulled something in my quad. Sunday I'll be taking spin, so I'm hoping by then I'm feeling better! Keep it up guys!

Wow, Stefanie, I hope you feel better tomorrow! I'm scared! Bring back Miss Armstrong!

Feel better Di! I too have something wrong with my left quadricep. I think I may have pulled or strained it from spin class the other night. It totally sucks, I was going to go to the gym last night, but I couldn't even walk straight! The funny thing is, I totally cleaned up my eating this week. Got rid of coffee and most dairy, and added a whole lot of fruits and veggies. I've eaten more fruits and veggies this week than I have in 3 months time! Its weird, but I'm not gonna let it bother me too much because I know I lost some weight this month. Going to the docs today so I'll get the official lost lbs from her today!

You go travelgirl!

I don't know what most docs do but when I go for a fill my doc pulls all the saline out first to see exactly what I have in there before she adds more, so an overfill shouldn't be an issuse if thats how they do it.

ooohhhh the big puffy sleeve! awesome idea!

Yeah, I measure and weigh in, but it soo angers me because even though I know its not true, I just feel like this is all the other diets I've tried before!

Yeah, I was daily for a little while, but it was making me insane so I stopped weighing in for a while, now I'm back to twice a week. I really should just weigh in on Sundays now!

I jumped on it about 10 times. Then I wanted to take a baseball bat to it!

Ok Peeps, I'm losing my mind! I was feeling all proud of myself until I jumped on the scale this morning and GAINED 2lbs back! WTF???????? Arg!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feel Better Di!

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully you'll have some left over from surgery! You may need it!!! How long is the class?

Its gonna get easier, trust me. The elliptical used to be my arch enemy, now I can go for about an hour, switching up the resistance. The funny thing is when I just need to do an easy day at the gym thats what I do, and I could barely do 5 minutes on it at first!

Ok, my ass is totally sore from the spin bike last night. And I sit all day at my job....This is going to suck!

I find that whenever I try to run but arms kill the next day! Must be working them hard!!!

Good luck babygrl....just got out of spin class! 10 minute warm up, 60 minute spin class. OK, I have to say this. I am soooo effing proud of myself today. I walked into spin thinking ok, this is going to suck. I haven't been in over a month and I was thinking it would take me a few classes to get back to the level I was when I stopped going. Well, the beginning of the class starts out with an 8 minute hill. I could NEVER do that damn hill. I could do about 2 minutes, then I would flop back into the saddle huffing and puffing. Get this....today I did the entire 8 minute hill!!!!!!:whoo::whoo::whoo: Sorry if it seems like I'm tooting my own horn, but I never thought I'd be able to do it and I'm just sooo excited!
