Seriously?!? : (
Since I started really paying attention to what I've been eating and excercising I've lost just under 20lbs (Jan 7th start date). I have about 40 to go but I've gone down two sizes, I definitly have more energy, and I was excited about this process and the "new and improved" me. Until today. I was at Sea World and my son…

Green Tea
I was stuck in the 140s for months and then started drinking green tea. Without any other changes the weight magically just started coming off and without doing anything else I lost 10 pounds. I think everyone should try it.

Trying not to pout...
I just realized something...I don't eat awful. I'm always down on myself when I put an occasional cookie in my mouth or treat myself to a meal I want. But really in the grand scheme of things, that one cookie is nothing compared to how I've eaten the whole week. But I don't get why I'm not the weight I want to be! I can't…

Chalean Extreme
I just started Chalean Extreme today, and I'm wondering if there's anyone else out there starting today, or who are currently doing the program. It would be helpful to have other people to talk to about the workouts and how they're going! (Sorry if there's already a thread about this, but I couldn't find a current one...)

Why can I not wake up?
I have been in the Army for 7 years after this upcoming May. I have been a recruiter for almost a year and a half.

For several months thereafter, I renewed her challenge. Unfortunately, I fell off the wagon. Now, after a hiatus of several months, I am back on mfp. I need the…
