I am soooooo sore today! I worked out with hubby last night . . . I asked him to hlep me get my triceps & chest into shape. Plus we enjoy spending time together since we don't see each other much. Anyway, he really put me through it and I'm hurting . . . and to beat it all, I think I'm going to go back tonight & do legs with him! Ouch!

I have been bench pressing the bar though! I think that's pretty good, for a girl, LOL!

Buckner- you look wonderful. I was thinking about you when I went to the gym last night. I "used" you for more motivation .

Christa- I too am sore today. I worked on my legs last night and now they feel so sore! I did the hip abductor (I think that's what it's called) a lot and a few other leg machines. It's the machine where you push out with your knees and the other hip abductor you squeeze your knees. I'm going again tonight, but I'm not going to work on my legs.
This was a good idea to start a new thread about this. Maybe we should keep one going with updates. Not just updates, but just anything related like Christa did with telling us about her workout last night. I think that helps in motivating people too.

Good to hear! You should never work the same muscle group Two Days in a row! Give your muscles a few days to heal!

I do a light leg day on Tuesdays and a heavy leg day on Fridays!

Ok guys, because of you I actually walked on the treadmill today. I'm embarrassed to say I only did 10 min. though . This evening I plan on taking the furkids for a walk too. I'll let you know if I accomplish that one. 10 min. on the treadmill and I'm completely drenched from sweat. Its so embarrassing. At least I did use that nice treadmill that I have though.

Your support is overwhelming and I was really touched by it. It means alot to me. Now if you can just kick me in the butt each day to get me moving that would be great.

I weighed myself this morning and I have to tell you that looking at that number makes the whole thing seem overwhelming. I know I shouldn't pay attention to it, but it is hard not to.

I love everyone's pictures and you all look beautiful! Honestly, I would be happy if I could just look like one of your before pictures..lol.

Congrats to everyone and keep up the good work!

YAY ROBILEE!!! Honey, you have made my day! I am sitting here with tears in my eyes because this is what I want to see!

Think of it like this . . . every day, try 10 minutes on the treadmill . . . then next week, maybe you can do 11 minutes . . . then the next week, maybe you can do 12 or 14 minutes! Every week or so, keep pushing your time up a few minutes!!! Before you know it, you'll be walking off the pounds!!!

I spend a LOT of time at the Y and I've talked to countless women in there that have lost 100 pounds or more just from walking it off. They were in your shoes, hon. You have a tool there in your home . . . I am begging you to use it . . . every day, just try. And we'll be here to support you.

I'm so happy!

Robilee! That is wonderful! When I started working out in March I could only do the elliptical trainer for 10 minutes and I'd get sweaty too. Now I can do it for 30+ minutes. Like Christa said, 10 minutes for a week or 2 then try doing 11 minutes. Also, don't try to be a champ. I nice slow walk at the beginning is a great start. I'm so happy you posted this! You made my day!

RobiLee - that is great! Way to go! As for the sweat, I bet I could sweat you under the table. I sweat just watching other people exercise! I think that is why I like swimming - I stay cool plus who can tell if I'm sweating or it's just from being in the water, LOL. My sweat glands work the same weather I've lost weight or not.

Buckner - you look awesome!!!!
