Hey everyone,

It's a new month so I started a new thread!!!!! Have a great month of exercise!!

Jess!!! Thanks for starting a new one!!

GOt home yesterday..Ran for 4 miles yesterday and did a spin class today with both days doing swimming.

That is awesome Whosya! You go boy!!! Okay well I weighed in today and it looks pretty official...I have 10 lbs to go to loose my 100lbs...So my count down begins...The next few weeks I will be eating as close as I can to perfect...I hit the gym today and did cardio, legs, abs, and of course my Zumba class! I am going to go ahead and hit the gym tomorrow as I had a tough week of errands so I can get in one more zumba class!!! Have a great weekend!!!!

YOu go Jess...work hard for that 100!

Felt great when i hit it.

Work hard for it Jess im gona be cheering you along...lets go lets go.

Im looking at 5 pound loss this week but offical weigh in is tomorrow morning.

That is awesome!!!!! You go Daddy, I am behind you with four so far atleast... Thanks, I hope to get there by the 13th so I am going to have to be really good! Keep up the good work!!!!! We are kicking butt with the chat challenge!!!

This is starting to look like the Jon & Jess show here....where is everyone:) ...not that i mind...

Today is gona be a little busy....oh im so tired of busy....i just want to hang out in the house all morning and play Rock Band and get to the gym this afternoon.

But i got to get to Church.....

Steff Please write me in for another 5lbs down this week...So thats 325....oh i can not wait to be out the 300's.

Jess....The 13th? you can do it...becareful though...i know i went crazy to hit the 100 and after i did it i had no energy left to keep going...It was a little hard moving on from that but you are over half way to your goal now!!!!!! Half way lady!!!! thats amazing...

I want to join you guys!!! I was banded on 12/12 and now I am comitting my self to the gym! I am curious though, do you recommend cardio and weights? Or start with one, then when you plateau, add the other? Thanks

Hi all - I am in Feb Challenge on Sparkpeople, may as well keep track with all of you well. Love the tracking over there, but the boards over here.

My plan: C25K - the three workouts/week and work in some additional workouts, maybe alternating swimming and elliptical on non-run days.

Hey all!

Well I understand whosya!!! I see how you are! LOL! Anyways yeah I went to church but I have to cook for the dinner tonight were are having a band so...I made some good stuff to take...So I did my elliptical today but no gym...I was really wanting to go too, but church, dinners, cooking. I couldn't fit it all in. Okay well I am down 4 lbs, so excited...I am on my way! Have a good week everyone...

Glad to have you!!!! i would start slooooow. I started with about 25 mins swimming 6 days a week. That did wonders!. i worked it up...added weight lifting...did couch to 5K ...added bikeing....added spin class...

Cardio is imprtant but building muscles is also excellant and zapping calories. In other words the denser your muscle the more calories they suck up to keep them going. Weight lifting is way overlooked by most women as they think they will get all muscley...this is not true.

4lbs is amazing Jess!!! Way to go!!1

I had a super workout today.... 60mins running yes 60!!! I made over 5 miles...10 min walk.....25 mins on the bike and 30 mins swimming laps..

That is the furthest i have ever run and it wasnt that bad.

Welcome Brandymom1234,

I really like the elliptical, and I do weights, and zumba. You can also work out to tapes..at home. Welcome to the exercise thread, I am glad to have you!!!!

Whosyadaddy! What a great job of running today! You are smokin!!!

Stef, you can put me down for another 2 lbs lost. I am like Jess, I am now only 10 lbs shy of 100 lost. I'm not sure when I'll hit it though. I've got a "guys" weekend coming up. I don't plan on drinking like I did last year, but the diet won't be great. I'll just have to work extra hard to make up for up before and after.

Sidenote, I started doing interval training on the elyptical machines in Cardio Cinema at the gym this weekend. I'd forgotten all about that until some of you started talking about it recently. Thanks for the reminder. It was great and added a little something extra to think about instead of thinking about how much I had left to do.:eek:

Congrat Ceraded!!! You can do it!!!

Congrat Ceraded!!! You can do it!!!

Thanks Jess. I just noticed we were banded 2 wks apart. It's nice to see another one in my time period getting "it". Keep up the good work. As I stated, you'll probably hit 100 sooner than me, but I won't be far behind.

First day back at the gym since my LBL. So excited to go back, never thought I'd miss the gym.

Treadmill: 15 min.

Wt. Training: 30 min.

Elliptical: 15 min

Sounds like everyone is doing well. Keep up the good work!
