I only have 2 workouts left of stage 3 of NROLFW. I also just got the zombies run app. So I will be starting mission 1 today. Good luck everyone on the weigh in tomorrow
You will have to let us know how the zombies run app works for you. I just looked it up on the internet. I'm trying to finagle my sons to run with me - this may be my ace in the hole.

Wow, vacation has already broken my stride! Its harder to remember to log on when I am having so much family fun! Cause for the first time in more the a couple of years we are all off the same week, so we are spending as much of it together as possible. So how has the week been going for all of ya'll so far?
I hope you are having a great week! We will help you get back in stride - no worries - you will be fine. I am not looking forward to weighing in tomorrow. This has not been a good week for me. Too many meetings, not enough me time. 0 -
I definitely will. I think it will be really fun. At least from all the reviews I have readI only have 2 workouts left of stage 3 of NROLFW. I also just got the zombies run app. So I will be starting mission 1 today. Good luck everyone on the weigh in tomorrow

Thanks for all the support, and I hope the Zombie App works for you guys, makes me wish I had a smart phone. Any way today is Friday! I lost another 1 lbs :happy: . I am glad of that, cause honestly I thought I would surly gain wight due to my poor eating habits this week. How is the zombie app suppose to work? dose it like simulate the sounds of zombies that you have to run from or something? and dose anyone know of any good running apps that aren't zombie related? my grandmother has developed diabetes:frown: and her doc told her she needs to lose wight and a lot of it(The wight lose will help her diabetes as well as her back, she also has bulging discs), and she dose have a smart phone, so I am trying to think of some good beginner things that she can do to help her get started.0

PS: Food suggestions would be great as well, nether of us really know a good deal about the diet of a diabetic.
how is every one else doing and coping with life?0 -
I only have three apps, but the mapmyrun (or mapmyfitness) app is pretty good (and it's free). It will map the route you take - you don't have to run. You can have it tell you when you make it 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, etc. It's motivating for me. It will also tell you the amount of time it took you to go the 1/4 mile, etc. If she starts walking, she can track her distance, work up to longer distances or a faster pace.
Anything to get motivated. I had a rough week. Luckily, I still lost a pound. I felt too tired to exercise some nights when I got home - it doesn't help our weather is still stinky here. I'm pretty good at coming up with excuses. 0 -
Okay group. sorry for the long absences, I have had a whole bunch of stuff going on in my life and a accidentally let my food intake and logging and this group drop. Well I don't intend to any more, hopefully no matter how ruff or busy this month gets it wont happen again, cause this moth is the h**l month for me, due to work court doctors and everything else on my plate include doing research to try and figure out what collage I want to go to, if I go traditional I have to study for a AST which I am leaning towards because people are less like to toss out an application with a traditional collage on there, but I have to give up full time work and I can't afford that. So I am looking into online collage, but it seems as though the common complaint is that even if it is just as good and in a very few cases better then a traditional collage the degree get ignored cause you earned it online, but I could still get financial aid and student loans and I wouldn't have to give up full time work. I am undecided as of yet, mostly because in today's growing number of online students and advances in tech to were people are doing more and more online these online degrees and collages cant be ignored forever!!!
I am back!! hopefully for good!0 -
Second day back, and so far so good. Feeling good about my food choices, gunna get back to my workouts tomorrow. How is everyone else doing?0

Had a bad day Sunday but that's ok , I learned that is my day, I have been walking everyday on my treadmill and I am seeing a change in my body,:blushing: I have been eating really good all week( not Sundays:sad: ) but I think that is helping me eat good for the rest of the week.:bigsmile:0
-
I too have had a rough couple of days (almost a week). I didn't log my food Sat, Sun or Mon. I'm up about a pound which isn't bad considering. I need a motivation attitude adjustment. I seem to be tired - tired of everything. It has nothing to do with weight loss. It's me and it happens from time to time. I know I need to dump the excuses, but sometimes I look under every and all rocks for excuses. 0

I work for a Fortune 500 company. An online degree is just fine here. I know quite a few people who have online degrees - especially masters degrees.0 -
Thank you. :-). I have had a pretty rough week. Grandma and mom both in hospital. Mom had surgery. So been super busy and snacking on things I shouldnt. Also j am puppy sitting a 6 week old husky. He is a handful.I had a pretty good day. I ran a mile in 10:05. Fastest I have ever ran one.
You are doing really well!! Keep it up!
How is your running going? I made it a mile last night and had to walk a bit. It was really windy and cold (my ears were screaming). My pace was 10.48. That's good for me.0 -
Sounds like everyone is having a pretty ruff week of it. Well that happens from time to time, but we can't let get us down or stop our progress. 38laura40 congrats on all your progress and hard work, its fun and amazing to see and feel the progress of all your hard work. And for those of you like me struggling to log your food struggling to remember to work out just remember this, even if you fall flat on your face, your still moving forward said by victor kiam.
Any way its that time of the week again, time for weight in, i have ended up losing another pound of water weight, and hopefully like all the other pounds it stays gone. How is everyone else doing?0 -
I'm up .2 from last week. When I logged in this morning I realized I didn't log in at all yesterday. Sounds impossible to not realize I didn't log in yesterday but it's true. I typically have the same breakfast every morning and usually enter it when I get to work. I guess I forgot yesterday. I had a busy day at work and didn't get home until after 7. I was so tired I fell asleep outside on our patio (couch). Our team at work went out to a Chinese buffet for lunch yesterday. I was trying to figure out how to log it and then I forgot. So today, I have a 1 day streak going!!0
-
That's okay stephnerR its okay to have a break day every now and then, and your doing better then me so far, I have been forgetting to log a lot lately, I think it might have something to do with the fact that all my meals or the same except for my dinners, I am gonna try adding a little more variety in and see if that helps.0

Ughh gain two pounds instead of losing weight this week : ( Oh well it has been a crazy week, hopefully I will do better this week.
How have all of you done?0 -
I've tried "smoothies" the past two days. The nutrition is great, but the taste - that needs work. Yesterday I made one with a banana, non-sweetened almond milk, peanut butter, plain Greek yogurt and spinach. Today I switched out the banana for mixed frozen fruit and I did not add the peanut butter. I have been told to add fruit juice, but I'm trying to find a healthy (good tasting) smoothie. I will take any suggestions. 0
-
my smoothie this morning was~ 4 strawberries, coconut water, light & fit vanilla yogurt 1/2 cup and 5 grams of chia seeds.0
-
mmm, that sounds tasty!!0
-
Wow - I just looked up the health benefits of chia seeds - I will have to start adding them to my diet. No flavor but lots of benefits - protein, omega 3, fights belly fat (yep, that's what the article said), strong teeth and bones, etc. I'm in!0

Sorry guys for being so absent. Been having a rough couple weeks. I was up 2.1 lbs this week. so sorry for that. I have kind of lost my motivation. SO I am trying to get it back. I have started exercising more and I am re cleaning up my diet. No more shall my day consist of 50 % sweets and junk.0

I had the same issue. It started about two weeks ago. I finally got going again last Thursday. I wasn't exercising and started wanting really bad food EVERY day. It helps me to have MFP friends who have similar challenges - we are in this together.
What kept you motivated when you lost the first 60 lbs?
Part of my problem is I'm so heavy I can't run as long/far as I would like. Even though I started C25K i early March, I still haven't conquered a 5K. I know my age and weight aren't helping but it really gets discouraging. I need to remind myself just getting out and walking/running is more exercise than I would be getting on the couch reading a book!0 -
When I first started losing the weight made me motivated. As I went along I started adding in treats here and there and I still lost. So my mindset changed back to I can eat whatever I want. I have the same problem with running. I have been doing more arc trainer workouts to compensate. And since I am highly motivated right now. I can bust them out.

This morning I began adding chia to my morning berry shakes!
For whatever reason, I think these shakes are really helping me lose weight this week (3ish lbs). They actually seem to be giving me extra energy too (at least in the morning).0 -
