i got mine at target. but that was 3 summers ago so i dont know what they have this year. but you can give it a try!

i had my baby 2 years ago and it only took about 4 months to lose my 30 pounds gained during pregnancy but i wanted to lose more so I did weight watchers and lost another 16 in 4 more months. i kept it off for a few more months and then, i had a month of very severe PMS symptoms- sore breasts, cramps and VERY moody and within 3 months after that i had gained back almost 10 pounds. and now i'm back up and need to lose 20 pounds!! i think i had something hormonal going on that made it so easy for me to lose weight at first and then something kicked in and now its really hard for me to lose even 5 pounds! UGH!!!!

girl-

you made me feel better- and inspired! i am so bloated right now due to TOM i just feel huge. but i know that will go away and im actually going to my parents tonight to use their treadmill. i see that you have tuna fish on your menu for today. i havent had that in a long time. i think i'll copy you and have it tomorrow ; ) have a good night and thanks for the positive words! and by the way i looked at the picture of you in your costume and you dont look like you need to lose weight at all!!!!!

i am attempting to change my user name and my new one will be johnnysgirl72. so if you see a new post from someone with that name its just me!

kirsten

let us know how it goes. are you doing NROLFW or something different? i was planning on starting NROLFW this week but i'm sick again. that darn daycare- gets my kid sick then i always get sick!!  good luck!

makinitcount44- i wish you hadnt figured out the workout plan because i am stupmed, too! ; ) i was waiting to see what the responses were! i am confused about what workout 1,2 means. i understand about alternating A and B. i know you pros prob think im dumb but i might be maiking it harder than it really is. my husband and i were looking at it and we're so confused. any help would be appreciated!!

girlfighting-

it sounds like you're doing really well! when do you do your exercise???

 i am up at 5:15 everyday to get myself and my 2 year old ready to go for the day so i dont think i could do it in the morning. my husband works a lot of nights (until 9 or so) so i cant really exercise until then! and by then im usually pooped or catching up on laundry. i guess i just feel like complaining. sorry! i bought NROLFW and would really like to give it a try. i guess i'll just have to force myself to do it at night ARRGGHH!!!!

does anyone know how i can get that "virtual" picture of myself? you know the thing where it shows what you look like now and will look like after? ive seen it in some people's profiles and i wondered where to get it. thanks!

kirsten

thanks for your reply! my husband has the typical male fear of someone doing something surgical to him 'down there'. one of his friends had it done and said the same thing as you- that there's really nothing to it. i hope i can convince him. maybe i should let him read some of the articles i've been reading about side effects of the tubal surgery. my mom had it done-years ago- i should see what she says too. thanks again. you're sweet.

v_avila-

i have never really lifted before. ive done toning xlasses that use hand weights, bands etc. but do you think a regular joe shmoe like me could get in to that NROLFW?? it sounds interesting but sometimes it seems overwhelming when i read what people have written about it. any thoughts????

i've been kind of doing the same thing since friday afternoon! i haven't been staying with anyone's kids but my diet has been out the window since then too! and i havent exercised since thursday either. normally when this would happen i would just give up and keep eating poorly but i'm back on track today so we'll see what happens. i've also been sick so i didn't really have the energy to exercise. this stinks! we can pull ourselves together though. think BIKINI or BEACH. try to have a good rest of the day!

this doesn't necessarily have anything to do with motivation but i was wondering about my burn meter. i have it set for light but im thinking i should change it to sedentary. i sit at a desk for work but walk a mile to and from the parking lot we have everyday. and go for atleast 1- 20 minute brisk walk during work and do some walking around the office. also, i have a 2 year old and i try to go outside with him everyday after work and do something. i dont count these walks on my activity log. i only count my aerobics and running when i do them. i do the usual vacuuming, laundry and picking up. sooooo, what are some of your opinions? i think when i set it at sedentary it was only 1200 calories and i tried it for a couple of days and i was really hungry. i lost 1.6 pounds in 2 weeks but at TTOM i gained it back. then didnt weigh myself last week but will weigh myself tomorrow morn. my pants feel a tiny bit looser in the waist and i dont feel as bloated but the scale isnt really budging. any opinions would be appreciated. sorry it was so long winded :  )

hi carie- the PMS'ing is terrible. that was me 2 weeks ago i had gained back my 1.6 that i lost. i didnt weigh myself last week so we'll see what happens this friday. the only advice i can give is if you feel like you have a cravign for salt, chocolate or whatever its okay to give in just don't overdo it. i know it sucks but you can get through it! i always tell myself that if i can just get through those few days (although sometimes its a whole week) i'll be so glad that i didn't over-indulge. good luck!!!!

happy monday peeps!

i gave in to a donut this weekend also! i also gained back the 1.6 pounds that i had lost. UGGHH!!!! maybe b/c it was TTOM and i ate a few more crappy/salty things than normal. back to good eating today. i just bought and tried jillian michaels 30 day shred. great workout but feels not long enough. anyone else have that dvd?? good luck to everyone for the week!!

good morning all-

i wasnt near a computer yesterday so i couldnt get on. everyone seems to be doing REALLY well. im glad to see you girls sneak in a little choc treat too! i had 3 hershey's kisses the other day and felt bad. and just so you all know what a motivating effect (sp?) you have on me- i went for a brisk 20 min. walk on my lunch break after reading everyone's posts. i usually try to do it twice a day but have been slacking lately. and i felt do much better after! so, thanks! by the way, my name is kirsten.
