You can map distances to see how far you've gone or to decide a route based on distance or calories burned or whatever. I love it!!!

Ideal,

Girl you had me all hyped for pizza last night (my kick off party). Iwalked in there, they had salad and vegetable soup. I was mighty disappointed. LOL. I'll update my blog and give the link in a day or two.

I DO NOT KNOW WHY I have not been part of these talks..I'm so so so stooopppiidd sometimes!! Sheesh *hits forhead with hand*

Ok, I've just read like 2 weeks worth of some GREAT things and I'm feeling so much better about the weight issues I've been experiencing lately. Ok, so here is my story.
I started WW almost a year ago (June) and I've only lost 20lbs and one dress size. I've done the flex points and that has been working for me. I love WW because it allows me to mess up and jump back on, but in the past 3 months it have been gaining my weight back . Now one of those months, I wasn't doing what I should have been doing so I can't be too mad at that, but since April, I have been a major mission to drop another 10lbs before my year anniversary with WW, but it aint happening. First, I realized I wasn't eating enough points, so I increased my point losing 2lbs. But that has been it! The rest have been 1lb here, .8lb there! I'm so frustrated it aint even funny! So my girlfriend suggesting doing Core for a while to restart my system..a week into Core and still no change. I walk about 2 miles each morning, now I’ve taking to jogging about ½ mile each morning. If I don’t do that, I do Tae Bo or a sculpting/toning video. My clothes still fit, I still look the same, but the scale doesn’t agree!!

Right now I’m sticking with the Core foods to see if any change will happen, but I’m at my wits end. With the Fat Smash Ideal mentioned, it sounds very much like Core, so if Core aint working, I may have to incorporate it into WW.

Any suggestions you all have will be great!

Oh how I wish that's what we'd had!!! I'm so sorry, lol! I can't wait to hear about it! I am LOVING my TNT experience. I'm so glad I decided to do this. Especially when I find out today that a family member of a very close friend may have one of the types of cancer that we're fundraising for. I dunno; it's another one of those times in my life that I just feel like I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, doing exactly what I'm supposed to be. I've been updating my blog like crazy, lol. I need to blog some more. I'm really enjoying TNT.

So you all have gotten me so motivated that yesterday with my walking group (we walk every Thursday) we did more than we would normally do. We walked 5.5 miles per person, then I ran, did some stairs and ended the night with crunches and pushups..man you couldn't see me

This morning I popped in a scult and abs tape and went to town. I'm in pain, but it's good pain. I'm going to get the FS book this weekend, get some groceries and start "fresh" Monday and see how this goes!

Just keep up the good work. I read how frustrated you were in the previous post, but consistency matters.

I made my second step by joining a gym: LA Fitness. The facility here is gorgeous and I can actually afford a personal trainer here too. We'll see how it goes from here on out.

CHEYAH!

While waiting for my credit union to open this morning, I shot over to Wal-Mart looking for some replacement workout gear. I saw a pair of 8/10 exercise pants for $3. I figured, "I'll have them when I need them and they'll fit eventually."

I decided to try them on and THEY FIT. I couldn't believe it! I ended up getting another pair of workout pants (8/10, also $3), a tank sweater (8/10) for $4 and a tank workout top (12/14) for $3 (the tag said $7.50, so I was surprised when it rang up for less).

At the end of March, I was in Wal-Mart and I passed a clearance rack with a very cute black lacy skirt for $6.00. The only sizes left were 4, 6, 10 and 18. Since an 18 would have been a step in the wrong direction, I took a 10 into the dressing room. I was able to zip up the zipper but wasn't ready to wear it yet. I bought it anyhow, LOL.

When I got home today, I tried on the skirt ... it is now a perfect fit!

Hope to post tomorrow with a great WI ... last week I maintained.

This morning I was down another 3.8 lbs! This made me feel a lot better about maintaining last week. Now I am less than 4 lbs away from being down 150!

When I got my booklet back, I saw that I have now gone below my seventh grade physical weight of 175 (this was in 1985, BTW). I am absolutely floored!

Today I went into Old Navy to look at the sale items. I tried on two pairs of size 10 jeans -- they fit OK but one was long and the other short, and that's how they fit. I decided to try on a pair of size 8 for fun, and they fit too! They're stretch, but so what? I have never worn a size 8 before!
