Yes it is possible.  when I was working out at curves which is only a 30 minute workout, my highest calories burned was calculated at 714 and that was in 1/2 an hour. 

Just thought I would send a quick note to let every one know that I haven't quit the challenge.  The past few weeks have been very hard on us.  The first week my father-in-law was in the hospital and he was very ill.  We got a call Monday the 18th that they found him on the floor by his bed and he had no heart beat.  The did cpr for 21 minutes and got a heartbeat, but he was in a coma and on life support.  We had to tell the doctor to take him off life support because his wish was not to be put back on it.  He was on it once before.  He passed away the next day.  We were out of town for the rest of the week doing funeral arrangements and everything else.  My children have taken it pretty hard now that Grandpa is gone.  I will be continuing my weigh ins this week.  On top of that, my husbands nieces and nephews were feeding my 15 year old alcohol behind my back, one of my daycare dad's yelled and screamed at me for taking time off due to his passing.  So yeah, it's been a rough few weeks.  hopefully this week we can get back on track.

Just thought I would send a quick note to let every one know that I haven't quit the challenge.  The past two weeks have been very hard on us.  The first week my father-in-law was in the hospital and he was very ill.  We got a call last Monday that they found him on the floor by his bed and he had no heart beat.  The did cpr and got a heartbeat, but he was in a coma and on life support.  We had to tell the doctor to take him off life support because his wish was not to be put back on it.  He was on it once before.  He passed away the next day.  We were out of town for the rest of the week doing funeral arrangements and everything else.  My children have taken it pretty hard now that Grandpa is gone.  I will be continuing my weigh ins this week.  On top of that, my husbands neices and nephews were feeding my 15 year old alcohol behind my back, one of my daycare dad's yelled and screamed at me for taking time off due to his passing.  So yeah, it's been a rough two weeks.  hopefully this week we can get back on track.

Hi everyone.  I would have posted sooner, but I was having problems with posting.  A little about myself.  I am 37 years old, Married for 5 years, 2 children, both girls ages 15 and 7.  When I started I didn't realize how big I was until my husband took a starting picture for me.  I couldn't figure out why everyone thought I was pregnant until I saw the pictures.  I started cc back in February and then in March I started at curves.  I haven't lost a lot of weight but I have lost lots of inches.  I have gone from a size 18 jean down to a size 14 in 3 months.  I work really hard at curves.  I am burning at least 680 to 715 cals with each 30 min workout (thanks to the new curves smart machines).  My start weight was 221 lbs.  I am now down to 209.4.  I would like to get down to about 160 lbs if I can. 

Went camping with my brother and his family while on holidays and I wore a 2 piece bathing suit for the first time in my life.  I know my husband is really happy with the progress I have made.  He comments to me everyday how awesome I am doing.  I didn't do a weekly weigh in because they do a monthly one at curves so I hope I remember to weight in each week. 

Good luck purple team, lets do this.

I was born in Manitoba and moved to Regina when I was 8.  Have been here ever since. winters are nothing when here that long.  When it gets really cold (-30 c) we just make sure we dress up properly. 

Sorry it's been a while, things are starting to settle down, softball for both my girls are finally winding down. I have updated the weight chart. I haven't weighed myself for about a month. According to my curves weigh in and measure I have lost another 4 lbs and lost 2 inches off my abs and 1 inch off my hips in the past month. I was so excited to hear that. I have really noticed a difference in my clothing. I started with wearing size 18 jeans. I bought a new pair last week and they are a 14. whoo hoo. I am so happy. My husband is really impressed with the improvements. I am going to do another update for my progress pictures very soon. Now that I am done my class and ball is winding down I hope I will be able to post once a week again. I am glad to hear that everyone else is doing good.

I am so shocked that I lost this week.  It has been an emotional week.  Talk about the ups and downs of your child being a teenager.  They are so different now a days compared to when I was a teenager.  We have been dealing with her behavior issues and it has been stressful on all of us.  I pray every night that it will get better. As the week goes on I feel like I am slipping back into depression.  I know I don't want to go there again. 

Hi everyone, was out of town this weekend for my father-in-laws 82nd birthday.  I will try to get everyone added on the chart as requested.  It may take a day or two, but I will start working on it tonight.

I can relate also.  I was approached by another church member.  She came up to me and said " I just have to ask, are you pregnant?".  I thought oh my god.  But now that I look at my starting pictures and my updated pictures, I think to my self, no wonder people were asking me that, I looked like I was about 9 months pregnant.

Forgot to mention that I just posted updated pictures. 

Would anyone be interested in a weight log?  I can do one up with everyone in this group.  I can get all the information i need to start just by the postings already posted.  Every time someone does a new post with change of information I can change it.  Let me know.  I have one started already for myself.
