Good Morning...i like your name and you seem to be on fire...you sound like your gettin it all done and well on your way...I love Tae Bo and my youngest does his vids with me, she actually begs me for Tae Bo...she is 2.5 and walks around the house saying Tae Bo mommy, Tae Bo...LOL...Welcome and congrats on the good work so far

Morning,

My youngest says, Mommy, I want to meet Billy Blanks and tell him, your DVDs are very painful and we really love them.

Kids. :-)

In other news, today is day 21 (3 weeks!) of my new improved me; I'll weigh myself later in the day after I've done my workout. I have a slight case of the sniffles and hope that will disapate soon.

iaf

So cute, outta the mouth of babes hey...Im wishing you luck on your weigh in later...

It's just too cold for me to walk today....so instead I went to the Y and did a nice easy 40 minute workout on the elliptical. I then weighed myself - I have officially lost 10 pounds in 21 days. Yay!

Ever upwards and onwards,

iaf

Woo Hoo!!

Congrats on those pounds GONE!!

It's amazing what eating less and moving more accomplishes isn't it?

Hi all,

Today I measured myself again, and it appears that I'm

40-39-39

So I've lost an inch point five on my hips in the past week. Waistline is still the same! Wah!

But I'm definitely noticing changes in my body outline, so perhaps I won't complain too much.

Exercise-wise, I did my 2.4 mile walk but didn't powerize it - I ended up walking slower than usual as my body decreed, it's time to ease up a bit. So today I will not do any extra workouts; I'm giving myself a half day of rest. Tomorrow will be soon enough to fling myself back into the swing of things.

Oh, and my weight is still holding steady at 158.

And that's me,

iaf

Congratulations IAF!! 10 lbs is wonderful!!

Morning,

I'm still holding steady at 158, so I figger that indeed, I'm at a weight plateau. Oh well, I expected that.

But the good news is that I have dropped one swimsuit size! My size 16 is too big for me (yay!). True, size 14 is too small, so I think I'm now a size 15. Yay!

Today is bash-the-body workout in the morning and Taebo in the afternoon. Fun fun fun!

iaf

Morning,

Well, it appears that I lost another pound and am at 157.

Yesterday's bash-the-body workout turned into total upper/middle body workout (and I passed on the lap jogging). The afternoon had 20 minutes of cycling, so that gave me some good cardio as well.

Today I did 40 minutes on the elliptical AND (get this!) tried my kids' Dance Dance Revolution. Yep, I'm a klutz....but hey, perhaps I will be able to get the hang of it soon.

And thats me,

iaf

Hi all,

Well! It's been 28 days since my change of lifestyle, and I have lost a total of 11 pounds. I'm still in quite the get-healthy mode, and view this as a great beginning.

iaf

Morning all,

I'm in major plateau mode. That's the bad news.

The good news is that it doesn't bother me enough for me to derail my efforts!

I'm still souping it up and drinking me wahwah and eating fruit when cravings seize me....and even getting to the gym/doing Taebo at night as well. I did discover that if I worked out before going to bed, well, I didn't get to bed easily; it took 2 hours for me to fall asleep. This is the second time in two tries this happened, so I learned my lessons - Exercising is for the morning/afternoon and that's it!.

And that's my update.

iaf

Hi all,

Well! Today is Week5 of my get healthy lifestyle change. I'm still at 157 pounds but I've lost another inch on my waist - I'm now 40-38-39. So it's still working and working well!

iaf

Hi everyone,

Right now, I'm on week 6.5 of my get healthy lifestyle, and I've lost a total of 13 pounds so far. I'm not following any official diet plan - I'm simply ensuring my calorie intake is around 1400 or so, eating better, and exercising daily.

My exercise routine nowadays is the following:

Each day go to the gym. M/Th is bash-the-body day (ie, work out with free weights). T/W/F is cardio day - I'll do 42 minutes on the elliptical with power bursts while watching The History Channel.

In the afternoons, I'll do some sort of exercise tape. Right now, my favorites are Billy Blanks Taebo (Get Ripped II Advanced is the most challenging for me) and Richard Simmons (Disco Sweat and Sweatin to the Oldies 3 are tons of fun!).

Measurements wise, my last showed me to be
39-34-39 so things are definitely changing.

And that's me update for now.

iaf

Morning!

Well! 7 weeks after starting my get-healthy lifestyle, here's my stats:

14 pounds lost
measurements - 40-34-40 .

I gained an inch top and bottom over this week - I think it might be because of my weight lifting. Since it's not my middle, I'm quite fine with that! :-)

And that's me for today,

iaf

Yay!! Keep up the good work and keep getting excited 'bout those aerobics!
