Wow, Congrats on the great progress you've made! It is hard exercising at home. I feel like at the gym, if I slack off or shorten what I have planned, there are people there to see, but at home I'm the only one who knows if I skipped exercising!

Thank you!I liked the gym too (I briefly went last summer),but to me 50 bucks a month is a bit too much for what I do there.The closest low-priced gym is in Milan,50 minutes from here my friends go there,and I know they love it.I especially miss the treadmills,it relaxed me so much!Maybe next year,once we have opened our store and I have a salary too I can go back to the gym!For now,home has to do,sigh.

I check in on this subject every once in a while. I followed WW and became a Lifetime member back in April of 2010. However, I had a few medical issues come up 1 yr ago and had to stop my monthly weigh ins back in July. I just saw they signed Jessica Simpson for 4 million-what a major disappointment. I caannot see that at all. I liked Jennifer Hudson, thought she represented very well. I don't care for J.S. at all-I think she has over saturated herself market wise just like the Kardashians

First 2 mile run in Vibrams. Had to drop distance significantly when I switched to minimalist running, and am very slowly working my way back up. Actually felt better than when I used to do it in regular running shoes. Was much more aware not to lose form as I got tired, and didn't stop to walk once (which sounds like a wimpy achievement, but I seriously have very little endurance, so to see it increase even a little totally made my day ).

How is everyone else doing?

Tomorrow I have to weigh myself.I don't think I've lost any weight this week,but we'll see.

I'm back on the wagon again after a little while of eating the wrong stuff again! I've lost 7lbs in 4 weeks on a new eating plan..well new to me anyway! Its called The Diet Solution Program by Isabel De Los Rios. I had to download the plan (I think it was around $60) and its really good. You have to find out what kind of person you are... Protein, Carb or mixed and then it tells you what to eat and how often. You eat 5 times a day and never feel hungry. I hope this is the one that is going to work!

Have to say i'm having a problem with drinking as much water as you are supposed to on this plan. I'm weeing for England!

I do weight loss challenges, that are made specifically for people who want the extra motivation and accountability from others who are also on a weight loss/health/fitness journey.. It is very helpful! Send me an e-mail if you want to chat, [email protected]

I was considering body by vi 90 day challenge.

At 50 I've given up on trying to diet - I enjoy my evening cocktails with my husband too much!!

Essentially I've gone back to being good with my low carbing, and making an effort to move more. I'm going to up my "walk the dog" time, and when I sit and play around my forums in the afternoon, I will do it from my recumbent cycle.

That's good enough for me..............

I would love to be weight loss buddies with someone. But, considering I got gastric bypass in January I don't think that would be really fair lol. It is not as easy as a lot of people think though. I still have to make good choices, especially when every little bite counts. I also have to work out hard every day. I basically own every video program there is out there (Insanity, P90x 1 and 2, TurboJam, TurboFire, Chalean Extreme, Zumba, etc). Right now I am doing the TurboFire until I am fit enough to start Insanity. It is soooo fun and effective! I would try it for those who hate the gym but want to jumpstart your cardio and light weight training. I also suggest the C25K programs!

On a side note: I have lost 75 pounds so far in 4 months! Crazy right? It is going to start slowing down now fore sure but I feel so much better.
