Weight Loss Challenge!

[eefanincan]

I've just gotten a Nintendo Wii and have enjoyed playing some of the games that it's come with ---- it's quite a workout indeed....... not that I'm any good at them, mind you, but I've been sweating up a storm for the two days I've had it LOL (Tennis is fun, but I won't be signing up for Wimbeldon anytime soon )

Anyone use the Wii and what games would you suggest? Down the road I may invest in the Wii fit, but for now would just like to stick to the regular games.

I have one as well eefan, and reading this made me realize we should be able to play against each other! Link the Wii's from PA to Cahnadia!

I am down a total of 65lbs now. I had a year long stall that I played around with the same 5lbs...up...down...up...down...but now I am at the gym 5-6 days a week and the weight is coming off again. Yippee!!

[Skylace]

That is great Spurs! Way to go. I need to get back more regular to the gym myself.

You must be so excited. It will be so fun to do the clothes shopping when you are done.

[SpursFan1902]

The best part is I don't have to wait until I am done to shop. Every 10lbs is a clothes size. Now I don't go shopping every 10lbs, but as things get big, I get rid of them and hit the thrift stores and charity shops. When I get to my final weight, I may actually throw in some "real" new clothes!

[Skylace]

Thrift shop clothes are the way to go for sure. I have to do that for my spring clothes. I'm with you, the "real" shop won't be happening until I am at my goal. And with the way things are now, thrift shopping is not only handy to help the pocket book but it also helps the charities that are so desperate right now.

[SpursFan1902]

It's a win-win for everyone! I used to not be able to find things at the charity shops. Really heavy people don't give their clothes away, I guess.. I have changed all of that. All of my bigger sizes went to charity. Much easier to find things in a 14-16 then in a 22!

Way to go ladies

I gained about 6 lbs during my gall bladder enforced gym layoff and graduation. I didn't think that was too bad considering all the eating out and drinking we did. But doctor approved return to the gym today and I am SO GLAD!! Felt good to workout again. I never thought I would hear myself say (or type ) that, but there it is...

[Twirley]

Wow - you ladies are doing well. I have been such a wimp at weight loss this year, but today I hit my heaviest ever and am determined to do something about it. I've started yoga and tomorrow I am going serious walking...maybe in a few weeks I'll get to a little jogging. I've got a goal - in August I go to the UK for a wedding/visit and intend to be the size I was 2 years ago when I last went. That's a 15lb weight loss goal - in 14 weeks. About a pound a week - doable, right??

[Skylace]

Yes! Not only is that doable, but 1-2 pounds a week will be healthy.

I've finally lost another three pounds and am in the 130s. So almost at my goal. I have been bad since Memorial Day and need to get back to eating right.

I know you can do it Twirls. And we are here to cheer you on.

Go Twirley, Go Twirley!! I know you can do it. I got rid of the weight I put on and then some...but only a litte some! I am back!!

[Skylace]

I am still doing the spinning. I love it. For me not being too coordinated, it's a great way to get in cardio and I have found it very addictive. It's not particular comfortable when you are starting out, but the body adjusts and I have no aches or pains at all really. I also love the fact that I can burn 800 calories in an hour.

You can do it Spurs. You looked great in your graduation photos and you're only going to be looking better. A few pounds back on are no big deal. Getting them off again is just doing the work again. And to me, that work is worth it.
