Hey you guys I have to say Thank You. You guys really motivated me last night. I have been doing a little bit of floor exercise in the evenings and walking more at work but when I got home last night I really wanted to do something. I did a full workout of stretches and floor exercises last night. I have been sitting still at 50 for too long know. I have become content and scared to do anything more. I have not reached my end of the year goal so know it will become my new Valentines Day Goal and I will reach it.

I will lose 12 pounds by Feb 15. I can do it and I will. I will exercise everyday, no matter how much time it is I will do it.:banana :banana :banana

I need you guys to ask me everyday, did you exercise or what did you do. Thanks

I went to funk class tonight at Bally's - it was soooooo much fun, definitely a workout. A couple of girls there go to this other class at a different place - pole dancing! they want me to come, but I don't know...they said it's a total workout, and it's funny. We'll see.....

You go Carrie, swinggggggggg:faint:oopppps get back up Carrie. LOL So were you doing this in funk class? That should have burned some serious calories.

J & L I pulled my stationary bike out the corner yesterday. I am going to put it back in the living room so I can ride when I am just watching tv. Stay on the treadmill because that is a no excuse workout. I am motivated now.

LSasha, Kee, Connie, Karen, Carrie, Stocy, :grouphug:thank you guys for the inspiration to move and do better. I got a good work out this weekend raking leaves. I didn't feel it Saturday until but feel more worked muscles Sunday and even more today. I like that feeling, it let's me know I actually used some muscles.

I'm still doing my crunch's. I know I have a lot of belly fat but muscle is muscle, hopefully those muscles will help to burn :flame:some of the fat around them.

I'llsucceed

It's a new day isn't it.... well I weighed in last night and I am :xena_banana:.....I was totally :omg: when I saw the scale numbers. I gained, not only did I gain it might as well been a newborn baby....7pounds. I don't get it:confused:. I have been eating more vegetables, exercising without anyone whipping me. I am now back up to 418:faint:. I am totally disgusted but I am going to try not to let this throw me off because right now I just want to quit. I didn't exercise this morning, I haven't eaten Breakfast yet because I don't know what to eat. Maybe I'll just wait until I get hunger pains or just drink plain tea, Water and have a slimfast for lunch. I don't know what the hell to do right now.

I'm still upset :think

:hug: u and me both. Rose did something to that scale:funscale:...maybe it has an electrical shortage or something:huytsao Today we start fresh, we will not have a gain next week and we will fill up that exercise log:whoo:

HELLO??!!! If you are working out and eating veggies, maybe you are gaining muscle. Which is better, because it burns more fat. There's a little back & forth for a while, but then you'll be steadily losing if you keep it up! Do you have any access to a body fat % machine? Because that will help you see that even if you are gaining a little weight, your body fat is going down. This is a struggle for us all! I went back up to 202 after I was so excited to be 198. But I got a personal trainer package from Bally's to kick my butt into gear for this month until I can get my much needed fill on Feb 22!!!

4 months until June!!!:tired OK, I am getting some goals lined up...like losing 40 pounds by then!!! You guys should join www.myspace.com so we can catch up with eachother there, too. It's free and lots of fun. I go on everyday. Let me know if you sign up - I'll add you as a 'friend'. Love you guys, summer's coming....:omg:

:bounce:

:dance: Carrie that is great that you are doing the personal trainer thing. Thanks for the encouragement .

:juggle:Summer.... I've got to get ready:bathbaby:.. :brushteeth:.what in the world have I been doing:censored::help:

That's exactly whats happening..the more I hit the gym the more I gain, so I will go w/your assessment:nervous

My scale does calculate body fat. I got it for xmas and havent even set up my profile on the thing. I will do that so I can keep track of my body fat.

I walked yesterday, nothing else because I wouldn't want to build any muscle. No matter how much I say I'm not going to let the 7 pound gain affect me, it is.:target: I have not bee n exercising like I was.:bored

I walked too don't forget about me :-)

Yeah Connie, you go you walker. :faint:You were trying to kill me

Hello Everyone...

Today I walked around the lake at Allen Pond Park. It only took me 15 minutes. Next time I will walk around it two times. At home I walked in place and danced for another 15 minutes.

Karen

way to go! I hired a personal trainer at Bally's - tomorrow is the first day, so we'll see. I've been slacking.............need to get all those clothes off the treadmill in my room!
