Hi all! My name is Amanda and I've been using mfp on my phone, and just logged into the computer account today-wow, I've been missing out! Last year I set a goal to lose 100 pounds. I lost 80 in 6 months and got severely off track. In 9 months I have put on 60 pounds. So my new goal is to get into a lifestyle change mindset instead of a temporary diet one. My secondary long term goal is to run at least one 5k or marathon a year.
That being said, my goals for tomorrow are:
1. get in some exercise even though I'm working an odd shift (9-12 and then 3-7:huh: )
2. NO JUNK FOOD
3. 64 oz of water0 -
Tuesday’s Goals:

Hi Amanda, welcome to the group!
Hey Nicole, thanks for popping in. Hopefully your load will lighten up soon, we miss you!
So today I'm not setting any fitness goals. My only goal is to have a good afternoon with my husband and maybe do some light housework. That's it, I'm taking the day off from health and fitness. Not to say I'm going to go nuts, I'm just going to be carefree and not think about how many ounces of water I consumed or think about every morsel that I eat!
I'll post Thursday's goals on Thursday. I don't even want to think about goals today! 0 -

1. Water.--Yes.
2. Go easy (nd bland) on food today.--Yes.
3. Get to bed on time.--Yes.

Stomach is still acting a little weird and is still a bit crampy so I think walking at work is all I will be doing for exercise again today. Still, at least I don't feel like I want to die anymore!0 -
Hi all! I'm Steph! I'm 28 about to be 29 next Tuesday. I've been following the challenge for a few months now. Lost some progress at the end of last month. I have 10 lbs to lose in 22 days...So we'll see if I can do that. I'm recommitting myself once again to busting it out before my vacation. I have a lot of goals to reach by the end of this year, I have my first 5k run on June 4th and before the end of the year I will have to run a few 10k's and such to make it to my ultimate goal of the 1/2 marathon in Las Vegas in December. So...I really need to stay focused and get it done!

Im Claire, Ive got 10lb left to lose. Ive never had to battle with my weight but Ive never been happy with my weight either not neccessarily my weight the way I feel which is more important than the numbers I guess
My heaviest was 160lbs when I was 40 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. I gave myself a few months and in January weighed myself (147lbs) and decided enough was enough I want to wear jeans like all the other girls so started my diet and found MFP a little while after! I am now 136lb which I am pretty happy with as I am happy it is coming off slowly and I am working out quite alot so toning all the time and just generally feeling better about myself and Ive even started wearing jeans
Anyway since its the end of the day I will set my goals for tomorrow
1. to get in my 8 glasses of water (been slacking on this for about a week now)
2. to get in some more fruit and veg
3. to get a work out in the afternoon if the kiddies nap at the same time0 -

Hi All.
Quick recap of yesterday. Wife and oldest got home from a trip so we went out to eat last night, had sushi and ice cream after. All in all not a horrendous day. I did make it to the gym and was pretty active throughout. I'd guess it was probably a wash.
So, for tday 4/7:
1. Record food
2. Make it to the gym (though likely not until late)
3. No fast food
4. Limit espresso drinks to one.
Noticed from the last couple days that I'm drinking too many calories, often in the form of specialty coffee drinks.
Best to all and have a good one.0 -
Goals for April 6:

2. Stick to bland foods again.--Yes.

It was VERY cold here yesterday! We had so much hail that it looked like it had snowed. They're saying sun for today--we'll see.
I am still feeling queasy--I wish this would just go away! Good thing is--I don't want to eat any crappy stuff. Just the thought makes me queasy!

So apparently I did not stop by and post anything yesterday. I swore I did. Probably got busy though as I am mainly on the site while at work. Anyhow...been a good week exercise wise and fair food wise. Last night I did Turbo Jam 20 minutes and attempted Power Half Hour Stretch. I got through 10 minutes of the second video. So all in all, productive. This morning I went to the gym for my normal 30 minutes of cardio. Today was the elliptical. Came home and tried Power Half Hour Ab Burner...again, lasted 10 minutes LOL Striving for better results this weekend.
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and that the weather is lovely and enjoyable.
