whoo hooo... 219 lbs this morning.

best part, I had a small piece of cake mid day to feed that choc craving. Which means, I may have dropped calories too much. So, still trying to dial it in a little more, but still going in the right direction. Oh and Bonnie, it was an off-day, no workout, no treadmill.

If I smell Cake it goes straight to my.... uhhh......glutes ....so, now you may kiss my glutes!

I think they are saying the quads do all the work and the glutes stay dormant, but if you wake the quads up first they might tend to be more actively engaged while doing exercises



LoL...squeeze da butt cheeks!!

I LOVE doing reverse mode on the elliptical and I crank up the resistance while going backwards too!

All i know is my quads and glutes have woke up this week...lol I'm doing a lot of different workouts and using a bunch of different muscles this week...so....I IS SORE baby! lol

So, I was just walking around outside and this guy who I don't know stops me and says "I didn't see you at the gym this morning." You see, Fridays are my only day off so I sleep in and go to the gym a little later than normal. I explained this to the guy and he said "Well, you deserve to sleep in, you work out really hard every day and you inspire me!" What a GREAT compliment!! I was already pumped because I did 7 UNASSISTED chin ups this morning (well on my way to my goal of being able to do 10 unassisted)...then I get this compliment!! I am so totally motivated right now!!! Time to go back to the gym for round two!! Then yoga tonight!

I'm quite a bit late to the thread, but...

I weighed about 185 at the turn of the year, and I resolved I needed to lose 10 lbs or so. Lower back pain was rearing it's ugly head, I felt tired all the time, just felt heavy. I'm 5'10" by the way. I've been as heavy as 190, but my clothes fit better at that 190 than they did at the 185 I weighed at the beginning of '11. Worked out some, last 3 lbs in three months. The week my daughter was born I weighed 182. With some regular exercise, eating less (thank you divorce stress...), and trying to eat better, I've dropped all the way to 162! I'll try to post some before/now pictures later.

I haven't even begun to work out yet, just dieting. Cutting out the junk food, soda's etc and eating chicken / fish a lot.

The wake-up call for me to lose weight was, I had a TIA (mini-stroke) and doc said lose weight or face the reaper !

I will start the next week with walk/jog run and light weight training and as stated before, my goal is get to 175 1bs by the end of the October and maintain that weight.


Not the best pics, but it's obvious in the weight loss

Great job Kelly - you look fantastic. Keep up the good
work!! I started an exercise boot camp - ouch - but
it feels good at the same time. Can't wait to see the
new you!!

[hrpiii]

what a remarkable change Kelly. Looking amazing, and I know you have to be feeling so much better too.

[hrpiii]

well dang on it. I can't seem to get this right either. Now I'm gaining muscle again, crap.

The scales are going back up, but I'm losing inches on the waistline. I need a new belt as I'm on the last hole, great sign I'm doing things right, but how can I reach 212 lbs if I'm gaining muscle weight. This sucks.



lol... and Bonnie, no kicking!

[thespymaster]

Been jogging 4-5 miles via treadmill at 5 mph.....

Also light weight training.....

Goal by SEMA is 175 lbs
