so I am starting again on my journey to a thinner me. I lost about 7lbs so far in less than 3 weeks. I have been working out home and gym can't say i'm over doing it but making sure my time in is worth it. eatting right and trying to stay focused. my over all weight loss I wanted was about 30lbs. so less 7 I am doing good.
I know at some point I will be at a stand still and it will not fall as fast off....
I still wonder if I am doing enough? I watch my calories but still eat. I do at least 45 mins a day each day is different depends what I have time for or feel like...cycle, strength training, zumba or my insanity video at home the days off...
Should I have a more set rounite rather than lets see what I can make, I have 2 kids so I plan around it as well. any tips or advice would be great!

Mommyto is not how long o how fast what ever you doing is what matter remenber everybody is different some people can loose the weight faster that other the botton line is to keep working if you keep a clean diet and exercise 3-4 times you will loose the weight you body will steel loose calories even after you stop working out remenber you did not get all the weight overnight so when is come off is the same way good luck

Mommyto1, good luck on your journey. Just remember not to over do your workouts. Your body needs to rest just a much as it needs to expend energy while working out. There are going to be some plateaus but don't get discouraged. Also break down your bigger weight loss goals into smaller reachable ones. Before you know it you will reach and exceed those larger goals. And lastly, whatever you do, enjoy the ride! There's nothing worse than trying to reach a goal and feeling miserable trying to get to the endpoint. You have my support!

BTW - how do you like insanity? I'm currently doing Chalene Extreme and thinking about doing Turbo Fire after I finish.

Hey, well done to you, your weight loss so far is a great one. the optimum loss for a week is 2lbs, losing faster is not necessarily a good thing so keep on doing what you're doing. You're a Mum and you're managing to fit your exercise in around that most important job and I have to congratulate you on doing that, it's not easy to do. There may come a time when your weight loss will 'plateau' but that's not always the case. If it does happen, then there will be a way to kick start it again, usually by just making a few changes here and there in your exercise plan. Good luck. Peace LV

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
