My challenge is doing steps daily until I can do 1,439 steps with ease. I am working up to doing 1,439 a day to be ready to climb the Sydney Harbor bridge on April 4, 2013.
I have a Reebok step and I count off 50 at a time( Right, Left, down, down) and then switch (Left, Right, Down, Down) Now, I take a minute rest between the 50s. I started in October before I joined TrimDown Club.Hello everyone, I just joined TD today mainly for the nutritional support. I started walking on the treadmill a few weeks ago and haven’t lost a pound. Even with walking @ 3.5 mph and running @ 5.5 mph intermittently for 30-45 minutes per day. Then I watched the video and realized it is possibly my diet. So here I go…wish me luck.
I did it again! I did it again! I did it again! Excercises! I beez soooo good!
Hugs, (15 reps)
Mary EllenOk I will take the fitness challenge too, been workin on my weight for 3 1/2 yrs and have lost 150 lbs I have 50 to go, started to day with a change up, and signing up for TD. Being aware that with excercise come good nutrition. I am gonna hold my head high and work hard.
If you have any doubts take a look at this site:
I did the most exercising to date this morning!!! In addition to the prescribed leg exercises, I did 15 min pedaling on my Magneciser and another 5 minutes pedalig the thing with my arms. I am very proud of me and I think I am already seeing less pain!
Hugs, 15 reps
Mary Ellenhello fellow fitness friends, I started TD about a week ago, my goal loss is 50 lbs. I recently had a stroke which left me with an unhappy left side of my body. since the last day of Oct. I am walking with a quad cane, but still no left arm and am very unstable on my feet. I’m also fighting with pre-diabetes. My first major goal is to get ready to walk for cancer, a 1/4 mile track in May. For now I just walk around my house. Wish me luck!
Hi…I just joined yesterday and I am excited about it. So, excited that when my honey came home from work last night, i couldn’t wait to tell him that I spent money on this enrollment so I will definitely take my diet, nutrition and fitness more seriously. I suffer from chronic pain among other things that don’t feel very good. I live alone most of the time, have 0 friends, live in a very rural area. Have to travel 40 km to the city. So, I highly doubt that I will be able to join a fitness club or anything like that. I have a treadmill at home which I will now use more frequently as my health improves. I also suffer from depression and agoraphobia. A health team comes to my home. I guess what I’m saying now is that I am not going to let my illness get the best of me. Knowing that I can be a part of a community makes me feel better. So, hoping to make the best of this site, I will eat better get fit and start to enjoy my life, as dull as it is. Best wishes to all in their goals! Patti
Hello Earth Angel,
I just read you account and wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I jointed 2 months ago and since I have been eating healthy food, I feel SOOOOOO much better. Even with my limitations in regard to exercises, I have found ways to be more active. I quit allowing myself to “find an excuse”. I have lost weight and plan to loose more. I have to tell you that I get my strength to overcome most of the temptations from God. Today is Good Friday. Meditate on the sufferings of Jesus. Offer your sufferings to Him and ask Him to accept them as a gift of comfort for all He endured for us. Fast today for Him as well. It is easy to give up meat and unhealthy food when you have HIM for a reason. Jesus is the reason for the season. Happy Easter and blessing to you.Hello to Earth Angel: Welcome! I felt the exact same way you did the night I joined. I usually check w/hubby when I use the credit card, but I couldn’t wait and started checking out the TDC site as soon as the card went through. I couldn’t wait to tell him when he got home as I was so confident that this was just the thing I’d been “waiting” for to help me. I’m on the end of my 9th week and feel so much better. I’ve only lost 8.8 lb. in the 2 mo. but it seems that that is what is expected. I really feel as though I am building muscle and losing fat. It shows in so many ways. Why, just the other day, my brother came to visit and I hadn’t seen him in about 2 yr. Without even mentioning the TDC he said to me, “Whatever you’re doing it makes you look younger and healthier.” I was a tak’in back. It’s sure great to get those kind of encouraging compliments.
So, stick it out Earth Angel; you’ll do just great.MTCPFU: Thanks for your input about today being Good Friday. We can never repay him for the debt we owe but as you said, fast and abstain from the meat today and offer our “little” suffering up. We do this every Friday of the year being Traditional Catholics; it isn’t very much of a sacrifice only once a week. And we can all offer up our physical pains, be it arthritis, etc. for others that suffer. We can earn rewards in Heaven. God bless everyone on TDC and have a very Happy Easter!!!
2 months ago I posted that I was doing steps daily to be prepared for the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb on April 4, 2013. Well, I practiced those steps and used a stepper machine at my Anytime Fitness gym so that I was ready for the climb. Wow, what a view!I was not breathless because the exertion was too much; the view of the rainstorm coming from Sydney, over the Opera House, and to the bridge was enough to take my breath away.
