Holy cow! I can see a HUGE difference! YeooooW! Your tummy is so toned! You overall look very small! Great job girl!

My stomach has never really been a place where i have gained a TON of weight but at the point when my first pic was taken... i was really packing it on in the love handle department.

I can see a huge difference, too!!

You are doing great! I wish I was brave enough to post pictures like that...hmm, maybe I will start today. I don't have old ones.

Girl trust me... its awkward. I mean i see myself everyday so i of course am like...eh... maybe i look diffrent.. but i dunno. The pics do help. The only thing that bugs me is it *seems* to me my march pics i look thinner than my newest ones ??? annoys me a bit.

You totally should put ur pics up.... its nice to hear other people support you and share in your progress!
( ive taken mine down numerous times.... but i think they are there to stay this time...)

Wanna consider a msn messenger name, LOL. I have messenger on 24/7 on away as I have a Blackberry.

Tomorrow i will see if i am able to add it on my PC.... its my work computer during the day so its a pain in the ass bc of the security stuff... but the IT guy is my buddy so ill look into it hehehe.

I would love to be able to have more communication with you

Me too girl ur the bomb diggity!!! HEHE

You look great, Babe I would kill for your body as it is at this moment !!!

Thank you.... i really appreciate the compliment. Its encouraging that others see progress and can appreciate the work we do!

I hate to agree with you on this cause I don't want to mess with your motivation at all, but it could be because of many factors!

Try wearing the same clothes when you take pictures that way they are a constant! That could help you see the changes you are looking for!

Well yeah thats what is weird.... ive lost 10 lbs about since the March pic... so maybe its because i was in a smaller room than my bathroom.... closer to the mirror... and have shorts on not black pants.


hmm... dunno.... just gotta keep trucking.



it does bum me out though

So a small update from today. Had a nice little dinner last night with an old friend from my highschool/middleschool days. We went to TGI Fridays and i had the grilled chicken and shrimp with tomatoes on it. I substituted broccoli for the mashed potatoes and drank lots of H2O

Unfortunately, when i got home last night i had the WORST stomach ache. it was absolutely terrible! I am not sure why it hurt so bad... but NOTHING helped it. I ended up balling a pillow uo under my stomach and laid on my stomach so that i had that pressure on it. Fell asleep and felt perfectly fine this morning.


Today I did not wake up early to go to the gym... i was feeling the need for some extra ZZzzz's. I have a hair appointment tonight, and then i will be going to work out a bit after that. Tomorrow morning will be a work out session like yesterdays was.

So far my food intake today has been decent.
Breakfast- Iced Oatmeal Rasin Luna bar ( 10g protein, 3g fiber, low glycemic, 180 calories)
snack- small handful of almonds.
1.5 cups of Joe

Lunch- side salad with just cucumbers, lettuce, and ginger dressing
4 pieces of sushi roll ( 1 tuna, 3 california)


That was my food so far today... not too shabby... was totally full after lunch too... i think partly because i drank a good bit of water!!!



Thank you to everyone for the compliments on my pictures that i posted yesterday. I am only halfway to my goal, but with support and friends like you.... ill get there in no time!!!!


Love you all!

Melissa

Hey guys!!!! TGIF!!!

LONELY... I'm MR LONELY... I HAVE NOBODY to call my owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnn



haha. WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONEEEEE!


anyways, yesterday was my day off... i take two a week.. thats the new routine. My eating was accepptable.

Got up this morning and worked out before coming to the office. I ran 15 minutes on an incline on the treadmill and 15 minutes hill interval on the cybex at level 7 out of 10. I worked abs of course which is my routine, and then i worked legs today


felt good to work out. I am feeling a bit bloated today because of just the typical monthly stuff that is going to hit next week. I also am fighting a bladdar infection... or the start of one....


Pee after sex.... Pee after sex.... Pee after sex

haha sorry.


anyways tonight i am going to a hockey game with my bf.... awwww... im excited we are also to have AMAZING weather this weekend! 80's with no humidity!!! whoo whoo!!



O I have been struggling with challenging myself in new ways..... my running has become very enjoyable.... but easy!!!!

i need to step it up... hence the incline added into the running today.

on weekends im bumping my workout to an hour... but not enough time in morning as of right now to do an hour of cardio AND weights....

hmm any ideas?

 

[brawny77]

Hiya Mel
Hope you are as good as I am today. I hit a new goal today I wont bore you with it all here You can see it on my thread but Danm Life is good. I am so freakin positive today I just wanted to share some with my buds on here. Have a GREAT WEEKEND my friend.

 

[kureransu]

hey hey, you are not forgotten, i don't think i could find your thread, they randomly disappear on me. one day i'll be able to run. I don't know the protocol for reponces on here, like, if i type something in your thread, do you respond in mine?!?! so confusing??!!? anyway enjoy the game, the wings swept columbus, so we've nothing going on hockey wise for a while. How are things going otherwise, oh and what's your verdict on morning workouts?

 

[cinderelly]

You are silly

I know for me over here, I have spring fever, we are finally getting decent weather , so Im outside, playing tennis as much as possible, doing damn yard work and planting the garden, playign with the kids, yadda yadda yadda...

I havent even played wii in like over a week, HAHAHA!!!

Tennis, tennis, tennis!!!

My email addy is justchickies@hotmail.com

with the blackberry i get my email right away tooI sleep for a few hours during the day but im also at work all night long and 3 hrs behind!!!

You could always buy weights for home, focus on cardio at the gym and use weights later on at home...weights i dont use much, i did in boot camp and with p90x it is more physical body, full body motions, with weights thou but ya dont need them.

 

[cinderelly]

i know!!!! I always am SO looking forward to checking out the stuff that you post and have to post to me..... i really love your feedback and your updates hehe

They arent usually very interestign HOWEVER, I do have a bit of a crazzzy lifeHEH!!!

 

[Steve]

on weekends im bumping my workout to an hour... but not enough time in morning as of right now to do an hour of cardio AND weights....

hmm any ideas?

Hmm, maybe you can combine the two and do some sort of metabolic weight training... circuits come to mind.

That's just a general idea though, since I don't really know what all you're doing now.

Hope all is well.

Hello Hello! This weekend was such a BEAUTIFUL weekend! I spent alot of time outside! I was at a Volkswagen car show on saturday and then an 80's party that night. Then i went to breakfast and rode there with the top down in my little cabrio

Last night we had a cook out


Exercise wise... i didnt get to really get out and do much other than alot of walking around at the car show and then i played baseball last night in my friends back yard haha. I took a small break... since it was so nice out after all hehe.

Eating wise.... I did alright until yesterday. There was cook out food out the ass... so hotdogs and sausages, cheddar wursts... all those things i like I stuck to my turkey burgers this weekend... ate a good bit of that... and pretzals.


Last night though i did break into a few chocolate chip cookies and some chips... YIKES.


Anyways back in the routine today... this always happens right before i get my you know what... i crave chocolate and chips

Thanks all for your responses.
