Good day so far today! Banana and porridge as well as a 5 mile (slow) run - part of the training schedule I'm signed up with! Loving reading all the comments as well as hearing about the zombie app! I must give it a try again! Fingers crossed the lbs will start falling but feeling better is important too and a couple of days of clean eating and I don't feel quite so bad!

I love this app! It is so much fun, and I swear I get more of a work out from it because my heart beats twice as fast from the adrenaline of running "from" something lol.
Hahah, yes! Sometimes my heart race increases because I pick something up and for a moment I think that I'm about to have to sprint for my life!
LOL. I love it! I'm really gonna have to look into that!0 -
I had a pretty good day yesterday. I finished my week 1 of C25K in the morning, but then I went over on my calories because I just REALLY wanted one of those yummy looking potato bread dinner rolls. Then I ate another one! I was still under my calories from what I briskly walked off in the morning, but I don't like going over my 1200... I usually don't eat my burned calories back. So I ended up going for a second walk last night. I went by myself, and it was quite nice. I didn't have to go a speed that someone else wanted or needed to go. I ended up walking for 4.6 miles in an hour and 15 minutes. Plus, if anyone knows how the Ozarks are, you know you can't go more than 50 feet without going either up or down a hill. And these aren't just tiny, baby hills! And where my house is, if it snows, you aren't leaving the house. Anyways... I ended up weighing in this morning with a 1/2 lb loss from yesterday! I'm so excited!0

I weighed myself this morning and I'm finally back in a "Normal" BMI! So excited that I've stuck with this so far and can't wait to keep going.0

I got my 1 mile walk in this morning in addition to Leg day with some Abs mixed in 0 -
My daily check-in
Worked out like a boss today, my fitbit isn't updating on my app
when I get home tonight I guess I'll troubleshooting it. I had a hearty dinner last night (my diary is open but theres only 2 days Ive tracked so far!).
Are there any other work out at home types here? What do you do? videos? weights? I love fitnessblender and im starting to get into melissa bender.0 -
I think there is an issue with the Fitbit app as mine hasn't been syncing since Friday evening! @strong_curvesstrong_curves wrote: »My daily check-in

Day 3 and off to pump class and on track for my calorie goal0

hey everyone, i just joined this group last night. i woke up this morning 2 pounds lighter than i did yesterday. i guess i'm off to a decent start! glad to be apart of this group 0

Day 3
Still on track with tracking my food. Yoga class last night and Reformer tonight. 1/2 pound down from Monday.0 -
Today has been... interesting.
Set my alarm early to get in PiYo before class, but I put my phone across the room so that I would actually get out of bed. But I guess that it needed to be plugged in, because the damn traitor battery died and I ended up waking up 10 minutes before class (it's a 20 minute walk). For the first time in my 4 years as a student, I had to take a cab to class. I really missed my morning walk, but I managed to make it up between classes. Still kind playing catch-up, because now I have to do PiYo in addition to my usual afternoon exercise.
First class pot-luck was today, and I think I managed to enjoy myself without going overboard. Hoorah!
Vegan baking class tonight - the challenge will be to wait until tomorrow to enjoy the [figurative] fruit of my labour.0 -
I wish I could workout today. So sore and need a rest day. Discouraged because I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing but am not seeing the results that I thought I'd see. This is only week two since I started back on MFP. I just thought that the first two weeks would show more progress, since most of the loss should be from water weight. Oh well. I shouldn't obsess so much (sigh). Not giving up. It's too early in the game for that!0

It's annoying, it worked fine until yesterday afternoon.

Checking in today-
I did 20 minutes yoga, followed by 20 minutes on the treadmill then had to cut out early to meet my Mom and step-dad for lunch. Mom and I shared a small chicken quesadilla and I also brought a spinach salad.
@strong_curves - I also workout at home. I like to mix it up so sometimes I walk on my treadmill, or do aerobic dance, yoga, YouTube videos, bodyweight exercises, circuit training with weights and disc golf. I've heard fitnessblender is cool, so I need to check that out. I'm finding tons of good videos on YouTube! (including Jillian Michaels 30 day shred). I also have a stack of workout videos that I haven't even done yet.0 -

Please share (figuratively) what you're making in vegan baking class! I'm always up for a new recipe and have lots of vegan friends who appreciate my baking.0 -

Please don't get discouraged. I didn't start out with a bang either. Lots of people lose a bunch right away, but not me. My weight loss has been quite slow, but I have seen some progress. I've lost around 10 pounds in 2.5 months. That's not quite 1 pound a week, but at least scale is going in the right direction! Hang in there groovigyrl!0 -

Awesome meal prep! I love to make enough for several days of lunches and dinners. Takes the guesswork out of figuring out what to eat and you stay on track!0 -

Day three- went well didn't get in any exercise but I'm exhausted. Just started back at work after a winter layoff. Just going to take some time to adjust. Food is on point and that 80% of the battle 0
-
Day 3 eating is okay. I stayed under my calorie limit. I noticed though that I haven't been eating veggies lately. If I can't fit one now, I will get on it by Day 5. I have been loving starchy carbs lately so I cannot fit anything else aside from fruits. I always forget veggies because I usually need to cook them. I also haven't been able to fit exercise time. I'm more fatigued than usual since day 3 because TOM has started. Maybe I can up my exercise after I am done with it.0

Not such a good day today. Had quite a bit of Easter candy. Didn't drink nearly enough water. But tomorrow is a new day. Going to volunteer. Then doing some walking around the mall until I find some nice new shoes. And I think I'm going to buy a Jillian Michaels dvd at Kohls since I have a gift card.0

Today went great! Ate lite all day so I would have plenty of room for dinner. Wasn't sure what that was going to be until I got home. Then my plans changed because I forgot to take the ribs out of the freezer, so I made a frozen lasagna and garlic bread. Not for me, though. I had some carving board chicken breast and Italian cheese on low carb tortillas with Mediterranean salad mix and taco sauce. It was SOOOO yummy! And I was still enough under my 1200 calories that I got to have some jelly beans and a fiber one brownie for desert...and STILL didn't go over. I also went for a 4.8 mile walk with my 9 year old before dinner. Yep...I'm thinking it's about time for bed!
Good job everyone! Looks like so far, everyone is staying on track and working hard. I'm proud to be a part of this group!0 -
today was good, just finished my 100oz. of water today, which is up from my 800
-
Im pretty pleased with myself. Gym time with my 13 year old mini-me was really fun. I stayed under my calorie goal and going to bed early. This was a GOOD day!0

I did pretty good food wise yesterday (Tuesday), but didn't exercise. Today was a travel day for a funeral, and so there was no exercise. I knew that I would binge and didn't log anything that I ate at the funeral itself. I stopped and got fast food for dinner, once I got back to town, because I was in no mood to go home to figure out dinner. I was emotionally drained, as well as tired.0
