Parentise Weight Watchers Club....

Toffee, congrats on losing some weight! It sounds like you are totally in the zone as far as eating healthy.

Skyllar- I'm glad you are getting back into your Taebo video. That is so awesome.

I am pressing forward with my 30 day shred video. I STILL am not able to do level 2, but since I am still losing weight and level one is still challenging, I'm not worrying about it

Nicki- I don't mean to sound cliche, but you don't have swine flu do you? You may want to get a blood test done just in case!!!

I'm glad you are getting tested honey! The fact that you told me you had symptoms you had never experienced before just has me worried. Let me know how the tests go, I think it will just be a blood test for the specific swine flu virus, and there are anti viral drugs they can give you if it turns out you have it. Please take it easy, get well!!!

Hope you feel better soon Skyllar!

I've lost 2 more pounds, it's coming off the meds! Anti-d's made me put on 7 or so pounds (combined with cookies)

Hey girls, think I might join you soon...

I started the 30 Day Shred on Tuesday, omg it kicked my butt big time. I haven't been able to do it since as my legs are in so much pain it hurts to do anything and I have a bd'ing session coming up the end of next week and I don't want to be in too much pain for that so I am going to hold off one more week before getting back into it.. I love the video though it is awesome and the time did fly for sure.. I think it is the first work out video I have ever done from start to finish, of level one that is..lol

Okay,
Here we go, thanks to Tiff's inspiration, I have decided to visually include you wonderful ladies on my quest for a slimmer toned body.

I am weighing in at 152.

I did my first day of Jillian Michael's on level 1. The second set of pushups were very difficult and the side lunges with the arm raise with weights were tough too. My weight loss goal is 145 and my waist target is a size 6.

MsCherry- I just want to say.... I am super proud of you for putting up your before picture AND... that even before your journey to 145 pounds.... you look beautiful

I agree!!!!! : )

I WISH I looked that good! : )

Thanks ladies. But Jadah just gave me a dose of reality. She poked my stomach and told me that it wasn't tight. Kids!!! But, seriously, I wasn't on the verge of dying afterwards like I thought I would be, although I just knew I was going to catch a charlie horse. Taking the before picture and actually posting it gives me an incentive to keep up with my weight loss cause if I don't have something to show for my supposedly workout in a few weeks, I look bad(figuratively and literally!!). Now, I'm going take my stink sweaty butt into the shower. Good night ladies!!!! And good luck on your journeys to your ideal bodies!!!

Wow MsCherry! You look REALLY good!! And 2 kids later!? Wow, you really look great now and before any weight loss

Well,
I am really looking forward to getting off so that I can do Jillian Michaels tonight. But, I found out that I have a little sabotager on my hands. Jayden broke the tv again. I'm so glad I had the foresight to buy the extended warranty. I think she blew out the bulb again in it. I might just bring her tv into the living room and hook up the dvd to it. I'm sore as hell. I actually went to the bathroom on one of my breaks at work and looked at my left boobie cause it was in so much pain. There must be some muscle under there that I worked too hard. I didn't eat too great today(not terrible though).

I ate a few bowls of honey chex at 5:30am and had a cup of coffee.
Then at 10:15 am I had an apple a cup of light vanilla yogurt with some granola and a kit kat bar(just jacked up that meal, huh?!)
At 2:30 I had 3 pieces of baked fish some corn and 2 1/2 breadsticks with marinara and a snicker's bar with almonds(did it again) and a couple small cups of orange juice

I know that I won't eat anymore today, so not terrible eating overall. I'm on a chocolate craze right now going on like 2-3 weeks. I think I'm going to tape measure myself. I don't usually lose much weight, but I drop in inches, so this way I can see results, just in case I don't feel them.

haha! lmao ms cherry!! u sound like me! i had the snickers after my healthy choice meal how funny!

Ginny-LOL, we have to reward ourselves for eating so healthy.

Well,
I just finished day 2 of level 1 of the 30 day shred. I am pooped. And again, I forgot to take my measurements. Oh, well, I'm sure it won't make much difference if I wait until tomorrow. I'm going shower then relax until bedtime.

Good job Mscherry! That's so awesome! It's okay to have a bit of chocolate, it just everything in moderation, you know?

I did Jillian yesterday. I'll admit, it's getting harder to motivate myself, but I am still doing it, even if I am dreading it!!!!!!!

Alright, Tiff!! I have two motivators, which are not internal. The first is that my sister is doing it too, so I can't let her outdo me! And second, I found some forum where people were talking about how great it is and how it's working for them. And all I do is read a few posts, and motivates me to want to do, cause if they can do it, I can too.

I hope you find your motivation. From what I've been reading, don't worry if you do not see much if any weight loss. If you can see dropped inches(YES WE ALL SEE IT!!), then it's doing what it's supposed to. Keep up the great work.

Here's that website http://caloriecount.about.com/jillian-michaels-shred-ft90501-8

I did Jillian yesterday after trying out(with DF's insistence) p90x, ab rippler. Yeah, I am so sore today that I'm the taking the day off. But, for some reason I have gained 3 lbs. I can only hope and assume that it's because I've gained muscle, which weighs more than fat. Well, that's all for more somewhat daily report.

Mscherry it could also be water weight. At different points during our monthly cycles, us ladies are much more bloated.

Good job on the working out!!

Good Luck mscherry... I love that we can all do this together...

Well,
I didn't workout yesterday. We had a bbq and had some friends over. I probably won't do it today either cause I have some errands to run and then DF wants to drive 2 hours away to watch a guy box from his boxing academy. I just know he wants me to go too so that I can drive since he worked a 16 hour shift last night. So, we'll see. Good luck on working out.

Hey guys!
Just wanted to give you an update on me.
I have the 30 Day Shred video but I'll be honest - I get REALLY bored with it. So, I've been doing it once a week but I think I may have found something to do that enjoy better! I've been going out after I put Owen to bed at 9 and I'm trying to learn to run. I've never been able to do it so I just started out walking a 2 mile loop. Then I would run for however long I could, about 15 seconds, (doesn't that sound PATHETIC!!!!) But NOW - I CAN GO THREE MINUTES!!!!!! So, I run for three minutes and then catch my breath and do it all over again. I'm actually enjoying myself! I'm down 4 pounds and I saw a friend last night that said she could tell in my jeans!!!!!! (I hope that meant my ass is getting smaller!)

Anyway, the best part is that I'm going during a time when I would normally binge eat - specifically on chocolate and since running is an appetite suppressant I'm able to come home and go to bed without binging!

Anyway - it sounds like everyone is doing really well!!!!!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Lou Lou thats hilarious! hope that means my ass is smaller HAHAHAHA!!! That cracked me up
