Morning all! My time of the month just finished, and I ate like crazy this past week. But after all said and done, I have lost 2 lbs. Which is good. I still have 8 to go before the 4th but I wont give up. It's been so hot in San Diego, its been hard to go to the gym at lunch, take a shower, re-do hair and makeup and get back to work in time. Last night my ex had my daughter so I got to go to the gym for 2 hours. I burned 575 in cardio alone! I was so stoked. Usually in my half hour of working out at lunch I only burn 250. Anyways going to have to find a new workout plan since the lunch time isn't cutting it anymore. I am thinking maybe I could do the 30 mins at lunch, and workout again after work with my daughter by walking/running the lakes or something.

I start a new class tonight at San Diego State, so I am not getting any exercise today! :(

Menu:

B: Special K Cereal with skim milk and banana

S: Grapes

L: Chicken Breast with salad

S: Eating Right Apricot Bar

D: Whole Wheat Pasta with ground turkey and spagehtti sauce

Have a great hump day everyone!

Thank is an awesome idea, keep calorie count low during the week and try to maintain during the weekends. Thanks for the tip! I will do that.

Yesterday was beautiful in San Diego, when I got home the BF and daughter went to walk Santee Lakes, we also played tag with her for 30 mins. (Which by the way left me very sweaty and tired, I am getting old!) Got some good cardio in and ate well.

Unfortantley today I am swamped at work, I ate a big breakfast and have yet to eat lunch and it's already 3:00 pm. I am leaving work at 5:00 to go to school and take my final. No excersie today.

Have a good rest of the day!

Hello there! I hope everyone had a good weekend. I had a bad weekend, I find myself doing REALLY good during the weekdays and losing a couple pounds, then having bad weekends and gaining it back. So on Monday I am always the same weight! It's frustrating.

One good thing is my daughter is now out of school, which means we will have more time in the evenings instead of spending time doing homework and projects. We can now walk at the Lakes and get out everyday. My boyfriend and I walked Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So we got some cardio everyday.

My daughter is now going to summer camp right by my work, so instead of going to the gym at lunch, I am going to have lunch with her everyday. So I am hoping to get at least an hour of cardio a day after work everyday.

Here is my plan for today:

b: egg white, whole wheat toast, turkey ham

l: chicken enchiladas - spanish rice

D: turkey burger with steamed veggies

Walk for 60 mins at the lakes tonight.

Everyone have a good day!

We put one packet of crystal light in a pitcher, mix with 1 cup vodka and the rest water. It was great, because you could barley taste the alochol and it wasn't horrible in calories.

I hope you feel better chomp. Ear infections are the worst!

Hello!! I can't stay away from the scale, I feel the need to weigh myself every morning. I weighed myself this morning and I am down another 1.5 lbs! That is 2.5 lbs this week...but I know you can go up and down each day. I worked out hard yesterday! 2 hours!! Actually I take that back, 1 hour of cardio, 45 mins of weights and 15 mins in the sauna. I felt great after my workout. I stuck to my meal plan and was really proud of myself. I am taking my daughter to gymnastics tonight, so I can't work out after work or at lunch since I had a meeting.

Menu:

B: 7 grain toast with salsa , protein shake and milk

s: half of a donut (it was in my meeting!!!)

L: Ahi Ceasar Salad with no dressing

S: Grapefruit

D: Sushi with steamed veggies

Good Morning all! I am down 3 lbs, since Sunday but I know I shouldn't weigh myself every day. I am going to not weigh myself again till Friday.

Going to workout twice today!! Once at lunch, my normal cardio and a little bit of weight lifting and then my daughter is visiting her dad for a couple hours tonight so after work I will head straight to the gym and take a class! I am pretty excited.

Plan for today:

B: Protein Shake with milk, spinach and vegtable low carb tortilla with fat free cheese ( I needed something different)

S: Kashi Whole Wheat Waffle with frozen blueberries, rasberries and strawberries

L: Lean Cuisine Three Cheese Chicken , 1/2 grapefruit

S: Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and edamame

D: Tilapia (white fish) with steamed broccoli

Good luck to everyone today!!!

Hello everyone!

My stats go like this:

5'7''

currently 170

short term goal weight 160 by July 4th

long term goal weight 145 by my daughter's birthday in October

I am medium frame

I am 26 years old.

I have a 5 year old daughter, single mother, work full time and go to school 2 nights a week. I go up and down on the scale ALOT. Would like to find my twin, for support and motivation. Message me!

Hello! I had a horrible weekend, I ate all bad stuff and drank. My daughter visited her dad this weekend and I had my best friend come into town from Arizona, so needless to say Friday we had a girls night with drinking and girl talk. Much needed, but I could have done without the booze. Saturday we laid out by the pool most of the day. Sunday my boyfriend and I spent some alone time, he took me to Coronado for a wonderful lunch and bike riding around the island. But I don't think my swimming, and bike riding this weekend made up for all the bad food I ate and booze I drank. :( But i am back at it today. My boyfriend and I both said we are back to being healthy and exercising daily today.

So I am not going to focus on the past....

Here is my menu for today:

B: Egg whites and whole wheat toast and salsa

S: Granola Bar with Orange

L: Lean Cusine with a salad

S: Cucumbers

D: White fish with steamed veggies

Cardio: 30 mins on ellipitcal with 30 mins of weights

I would love to join this support group, I need the motivation.

I am a mother who can't ever find time for myself. I work full time and go to school, and the other days during the week that I don't go to school my daughter has dance, gymnastics. I really want to get this weight off. In January I started going to the gym 3-4 times a week on my lunch break to do cardio and am able to do weight training at home when my daughter goes to sleep. My problem is alcohol...I eat pretty good during the week but on the weekends I enjoy wine and beer especially when we socialize. Which we get together with friends often. As of today I have given up alcohol on a regular basis, I am ready to make the sacrifice, and will only drink occasionally.

I am 26 years old I am 5'7'' and weigh as of today 170 ( I had a bad weekend)

My goal weight is 145-150 but I would like to lose 15 lbs by July 4th.

My menu today was:

Breakfast: 1/2 cup skim milk, Special K cereal

Snack: Can of beets

Lunch: lean turkey patty, lettuce, tomato, red onion (no bun) with a lean cusine grilled chicken after the gym

Snack: small package of cashews

Dinner: stir fried veggies with brown rice

I look forward to the motivation and support we can all provide each other. Are we going to do weekly weigh in's? I am new to this and not sure how it works.

 Oh yeah, I did the eliptical today for 30 mins, and going home to do weights for 30 mins and push ups and crunches.
