    Daily Goal: Will workout at least 30 minutes min today.

    What are your goals today?

    Today is a rest day for me so I’m going to do a half hour yoga session at some point. And then I just need to stick to my calorie goal.

    Hi I would like to join the group! I am 29 years old and I need to start taking care of myself ( emotionally, physically and mentally). I also hate looking at myself in the mirror :( . I also have two kids ( 13 and 10) and work a full time job. I would like to have friends with similar goals as myself, to live a healthier lifestyle.

    @proudmotherof6 - I had that issue yesterday when I was trying to adjust a recipe. I clicked save and it just reverted back. MFP can be so glitchy sometimes

    Ugh it really sucks because it did it again 😣 lol

    Welcome! Keep finding motivation so you can reach your goal weight. Push yourself and no matter what don't give up! Ask yourself everyday: if I were to give up now how would I feel six months from now?

    I did not do yoga today. I was having stomach issues all day so I mostly just laid on the couch. I don’t feel to bad though since it was a rest day anyway.

    I did stick to my calorie goal 🙂

    I am so horrible at push-ups! I still do them on my knees! One day I will be able to do an actual push-up...maybe lol

    Good luck on your challenge :)

    I am checking in.....I can feel minor changes in my abs and I miss it if I can't make it to a dance fit or boot camp class. I feel like I'm not yelling at my kids as much and overall happier. But my weight is not really moving on the scale. Looking for non-scale victories...

    I'm switching from honey wheat to whole wheat, increasing water, decreasing salt and sugar and beginning some light physical activity.

    @jumpingjenkins - do you take measurements? I find it to be a helpful, non-scale way to measure progress. I only take them on the first of the month but it seems like some people take them more frequently. Also, I take tons of progress pictures! Pretty much any day I need a boost in motivation I just take a new picture and compare it to old ones.

    I'm just checking in for the day. Today is a rest day and I need it! January burned me out doing workouts every day. My new training plan (Hal Hidgon's novice 10K training plan) schedules in 2 rest days a week and I think that's much more sustainable for me. I feel like my workouts are stronger and more effective when I get those rest days. I also started running outside this week and it's made a huge difference! I knocked 2 full minutes off my average pace on my 3 mile run on Saturday.

    Hi all... I'm finally back in the 150s!! It's been awhile. Still have a good 2 weeks of steady computer stuff but smarter food choices have worked with workouts most days

    Hi everyone,

    My name is Eden and I'm 29 years old. I seem to have problems sticking to healthy eating habits. Every time I think my goal is within reach, I always fall and gain weight again. I have social anxiety, so I don't like being around other people. I even avoid going outside so that I don't have to deal with anyone, which limits outdoor activities. I have two dogs and I feel like I'm guilty for not taking them out as much as I should. Because of everything, I stay home a lot and snack. I could definitely use an accountability buddy or two to get through this. Looking forward to meeting some people here to work on myself. Little steps.

    Weekly Weigh-In
    12/31 - 147.5
    01/07 - 146.2
    01/14 - 145.1
    01/21 - 144.4
    01/28 - 144.0
    02/04 - 141.4

    A really big loss from last week (for me anyway). Pretty sure I just dropped a bunch of water weight I was holding onto during my period. But it’s always nice to see the scale going down :)

    I need to get in a 2.5 mile run today. The weather is awful here but I think I’ll do it outside anyway.

    Weather sucked on my run, wind makes running hard!
  • Posts: 300 Member
    I agree running in the wind is the worst!

    I walked to the gym in my apartment complex and it was closed! I wish they had sent out an email letting us know. I did two YouTube workouts instead.

    Hi everyone! I'm new here. I have been trying to lose weight for what seems like forever! I am currently training for a half marathon in April so if anyone has any advice on that I'd appreciate it! I am also still in college so any tips on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle while still living it up would be great as well :)

    Ugh...the gym in my apartment complex is closed the rest of the week and we got like a foot of snow today. So I missed my run but I still got in a good workout (thanks YouTube!).

    It’s my husband’s birthday today so I didn’t count calories at dinner tonight and just enjoyed a nice meal and a small slice of cheesecake with my favorite person! I feel like I made reasonable choices but I still might have gone over. I’m not too worried about it though. I’ll be back to my calorie counting in the morning.

    This thread has been pretty dead lately! Where is everyone at?!

    I did 3.5 miles this morning. We are supposed to get even more snow later today so I figured I better get up and do it otherwise I might not be able to later.

    I am now 50 yrs old, married 30 yrs, and one son 26 yrs old.

    Used to run and have started the small process again. Ridiculous how quickly you lose what you don't use.
    I can run .25 to .35 miles straight with .10 walk in between. Doing approximately 20 to 30 minutes on the treadmill as we have ice and snow northeastern Wisconsin.

    I have a pair of jeans I've had for more than 10 yrs that I love. 150lbs in the magic number to rock them. Maybe back in style at some point ;)
