Let's Stop Talking and Lose Weight!!

Great job Cyndi!!! 7 pounds!! woo hoo!!

I understand how you feel. I dread excercising.

I do jumping jacks whenever I get a few minutes
When watching TV I stretch. I sit on the floor and try to touch toes. I also do leg lifts, ot torso twists.

I dont even have a pedometer...I need to get one!!

Status Check!! Status Check!!

My goal is to lose 85 pounds.

Week 1
weight to lose = 2lbs
weight lost= 4lbs!!

Week 2
weight to lose= 2 pounds
weight lost 3 lbs!!

Week 3
weight to lose= 3 pounds
weight lost=1pound ( I do not know how)

Week 4
weight to lose= 3 pounds
weight lost=4 pounds

First Month weight loss: 12 pounds!! Only 73 pounds to go!!

What I will do:
I will drink 8 glasses of water each day
I will park farther out in every parking lot I go to (even if its hot!).
I will wake up 15 min early and stretch.
I will walk for at least 30 minutes around my neighborhood in the morning 1st thing before kids wake up.
I will do 60 (complete, hands clapping) jumping jacks every day 2x's a day.
I will not eat chocolate this week!

Yay momov3!!!! WTG!!!

Well I got off my big f*t duff yesterday and took the dog on a 3 mile walk --although I forgot the pedometer! I managed to work up a good sweat on the last leg of the trip.

The dog probably covered 3X the distance running in and out of the woods so he was pretty tired too!

:)

So my goal for the week is to keep walkin' and remember my pedometer so I can track my distance and calories burned.

I bought this step machine thingy lol..I dont know how to explain it anyway it is mainly for cardio,abs,thighs and butt,and legs and it kills me lol. I have to admit though the best and quickest way I lost weight and it stayed off..was after I had my second son I went on weight watchers..if you follow what they say it really works!!

Yesterday I started drinking the Exfuze 7+ with all the super foods to help me get healthier and lose weight. I'm tired of all my friends taking it and losing 10-20 in a month. GRRRRRR.

What is this Exfuze 7 I keep hearing about? Where is it sold? Is it natural?

Thanks Momov3! Happy for you too! You keep me motivated! :)

I am wondering the same thing about Exfuse 7. Is it a drink? :)

It's always so inspiring to visit this thread. You are all so great and I am so proud of everyone contributing to my resolve to lose weight and get in shape!!

Do you think it would be worthwhile to start posting some healthy recipes for all of us to try? If so I'd be happy to post them in the recipe area. And other contributors would be great as well!

I made the most wonderful seared scallop salad last night. It was soooooo good (and so healthy and nutritious) that I had the other half of the recipe today for lunch. :)

If it's worth it to folks I'll try and put the nutritional information (calories, fat, etc.) in as well.

Let me know!

I think that would be a great idea! I need some new recipes!!! The nutritional info would be neat!

Okie Doke. Will do then. :)

I love to cook (and I love Ravish30's recipes--dammit!!) but many of the meals in the recipes section got me into the trouble I am in today.

I'll post a couple I've tried a little later on today. But it's 4am here in the east and I can barely see my keyboard in the dark.

I've posted my cold chicken salad recipe HERE .

It's a great hot day meal with a lot of protein, low in fat and high in fiber.

I have others but it takes a while to parse out the nutritional information so they'll go up when I have time. :)

Exfuze is a nutritional drink that you drink 1-2 oz a day and it contains the 7 natural superfoods. If you click on the Exfuze banners or links you will be taken to the sites of the people who are distributors for it on here. It's a great product ( I am down 4 lbs so far on it) and also a biz op too.

That's great! Thanks I'm going to try it and let you know how it turns out!

Great Momov3! I'd love to hear. :)

BTW I left spices out of the recipe (to make picky kids happy) but you could throw in a tablespoon or two of fresh tarragon or sweet basil. Either spice gives the salad a sweet sort of zip. (mix it in with the mayo so the flavors can mingle.)

Cracked red or black peppercorns gives the salad a little "heat." Experiment until you come up with the kind of flavor you like!

It truly is one of those dishes where you can pretty much throw in whatever veggies you have on hand -- and it usually disappears within 2 days of making it in my house.

I also posted a recipe for Pork Tenderloin with Blueberry Chutney which I made for the first time tonight.

The flavor of the chutney was amazing but during the summer I think I would use it as a glaze with fresh blueberries on the side rather than a warm sauce. It's a little too rich for summertime eating--although my DH and 2 kiddos did not agree judging by their empty plates. :)

I love to cook -- and I promised myself that I would still get the enjoyment from cooking that I so love while I am dieting; but I'd make it a point to use healthy ingredients and make meals interesting, delicious AND nutritious.

I think I need to audition for Hell's Kitchen!

Lost another 2.2 pounds this week for a total of 9.25 pounds down.

After a month I can now zip up my fat pants

Next stop: A smaller size!!

eXfuze is awesome! I was able to stop taking hormones thanks to it!
