I'M DOING IT DAILLY!!!!!!!
Hey there guys and gals. I have been working out daily!!!! It feels so good....and drum roll please. I have lost 2.5lbs since Sunday. Yup...I went back to better eating habit's..which means layed off the coke, and have had only one diet pepsi in a week. Which actually that is not even good, since it is not a clear soda, but hey. Also have laid off sweets. Basically went back to where I should have NEVER LEFT. lol You guys all inspire me so much. I no I can get off these last few lbs with your support. Now here is the question. If I stay faithful with working out(mostly cardio) 5 x a week, do you think I can loose 10 lbs by the12 of MArch? I weigh 143.5 now, and my goal is to weigh 135, by the 12 of march. (My daughters baby shower) I will see MANY of my ex's family, including the ex. I no that seems silly, but my ex left me several years ago due to weight gain. His faverite words used to be"Why can't you look like you used to" Well, I just had your baby...duh. I'm over it...really I am, but it will just be nice to see his look on his face.
I did lower body yesterday, with a 3 mi walk...today I will do upper body with a 3.5 mi walk.
I also just got my Calanetics video also..Can you say TOUGH. I made it through the warm ups. lol
Take care.

268/143.5/135...oh please oh please oh please
Mikee, Well, can you say OUCH!!!!!!! OK, I have finally came back down to earth. Still barely able to walk...so I decided I am just going to stick to the gym. Walking/jogging 3 mi, and then do the upper/lower body routine every other day. I think those classes would just kick my butt. So after I do this for a few months and get better in shape, will I start those classes. I am soooo glad I didn't pay the money and start out doing it. It would not have been a pretty picture here in the bailey household. the good news is I have lost 2.5 lbs since Sunday, so taht leaves only 8 lbs to go 
Way to go Brenda! I know the last 10 lbs are the hardest, and the easiest to put on again, trust me on that one! My only suggestion to you is to not get stuck on the numbers and focus on your fitness goal. Are you sure that you need the 10 lbs off or are you looking to fit into a particular size or certain measurements? Especially with working out, stepping up your workouts, you could find yourself at a goal size, even if the weight looks higher than you planned. Fat takes up much more *volume* than muscle does, and you can see the scales not change at all while your body does. 
I am trying to put on more muscle right now, and get my body fat down to what it was before I had foot surgery recently, which put me out of my normal workouts for about 2 months. I was staying right around 13-15% body fat (which is quite low for a woman), but I was also sporting more muscle on my legs, chest and buttocks, and firmer muscles in the ab area than I currently have. This could actually leave me heavier poundwise, yet smaller bodywise!
Adding the cardio is definitely great for trimming off the fat, and it sounds like you're keeping your weight resistance exercises going, too. Just don't OVERTRAIN; I think that is the message that I try to get to people who are on a mission is to be careful not to overtrain, because it can knock you out of your workouts just as sure as a virus or an injury does. Keep the balance of exercise-diet-rest and recovery, and you'll do great! 
Focus on keeping anything off your diet that isn't important for nutrition. I allow myself 2 *cheat* meals a week, but then the rest of the meals are all calculated to move me toward my fitness objectives.
I think you're stoked, got your goal in front of you, and you're focused! That's key! Hold onto your goals, keep them right out there in front of you all the time, keep the balance, and you'll get there!! If you have some sore muscles, that's a good thing, because it means you're making progress! Just don't train so hard that you are sore for a week! Please keep us posted on your progress, ok?
