That's awesome, Debra! Now I just need to plan a trip somewhere hilly so I can do the same. ;-)

Yay for the food diary! That is a strategy that always helps me stay on track.

Congratulations! I'm here. I continue to do some form of cardio 6-7 days per week and strength training 2-3 days per week. I've started a "Couch to 5K" running program and it's going well. Right now it's more walking than running, but I'm enjoying it. As of Monday, I have lost 100 pounds...

I've seen a few people lately mention that their weight loss has hit a plateau. I thought it would be helpful if folks could post their plateau-busting strategies to help out. Here are a few things that usually work for me. 1) Change the intensity of my cardio exercise - throw in some...

I'm holding steady with last Thursday. I had actually gained a bit over the 4th of July weekend, but I'm back to where I was so I'm happy with that. Debra, this may be a goofy question but are you sure you're eating enough calories? You are working out a lot and if you eat too few calories...

Debra, plateaus are so frustrating, aren't they? I was just reading something on SparkPeople about breaking through a plateau: How do I know if I've reached a plateau? What can I do to jump start my weight loss again? For me, I have found when I hit a plateau that it really helps to mix up...

Hi JoyfulNoise and Scuba-Jess. Jump on in!

Wow, you're a workout machine! I hope you were able to get through today's workout without hurting your strained back.

Today I'm down 2 pounds since last Thursday. Woo hoo! Just one pound to go to hit an even 100 pounds lost! How's everyone else doing?

I'd be thinking the same thing if I were you - the longer route definitely sounds better. I hope it sounds better to your hubby, too.

How long is his ride to work? I'd love to ride my bike to work for the exercise, but I'd have to take a very busy road to get there and I think I'd get killed! Plus I'd be all sweaty...don't think the coworkers would appreciate that too much!

Awesome results! Congrats! :jump013:

Today I started a "couch to 5k" running program. Starts off pretty simply, run a minute, walk for 90 seconds, repeat for 20 minutes. I'm still a good 45 pounds overweight, so it was still rough on me. But I'm actually looking forward to doing it again because I feel like I'm accomplishing...

That's fantastic! It is a good feeling, isn't it? I ate a bit more than usual during my weekend camping trip, but it's funny that what I consider "pigging out" now is an amount that I would have considered "not nearly enough" in my heavier days. Keep up the good work, FB!

Take the lead, ArcticDiver! :D Or I will. I accomplished my goal of doing strength training 2x this week, as I did that on Sunday and Tuesday. I continue to get cardio 7 days per week. I haven't done today's cardio yet, but I am about to go take care of that. And then I'm off camping for a...

Oh no! Have you been to the doctor?

Hahaha! No, all that heavy lifting is my boyfriend's job. ;) But I will be hiking every day, so I'll at least be getting my cardio done. And though drinking beer around the camp fire is one of my favorite parts of camping, I will only do so in moderation. :beerchug:

I said my goal for this week is to do strength training at least two times. Today I accomplished half my goal. Just got back from lifting weights at the gym. I plan to do it again on Tuesday. That will probably be my only opportunity this week, as I am leaving for camping trip on Thursday and...

That would be fabulous. My house is tiny, but if I ever have a bigger home I'd love to have a room dedicated to exercise/weight equipment. Right now what free weights and other equipment that I do have is kind of scattered all over the place. I find I'm much less likely to use it when it's not...

fairybasslet, sorry you've not been feeling well. I hope it's nothing too serious and you're feeling better soon.
