    Well today I start my walking diet( as i call it). I miss exercising for the way I was at the beginning. I didn't think I would ever say that. But I do. Thank you to everyone that gave me advice and/or support I really appreciate it. I did end up losing 1.2 lbs. Hopefully I can lose more this week.

    Hope everyone has a great weekend and week. Let's try not to eat alot. I say that and I have 3 cookouts to go to this weekend. Good Luck!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Hey ladies!

    I did not lose this week but hey I did not gain either!! I am kind of in a low right now. Being here at my parents is HARD. They do not eat the greatest (snacks all over the house) and the things we do not eat at home that I LOVE. I have been snacking like CRAZY!!! HELP me please! How do I stop?! We are here until June 1st about and I can't keep doing this. Maybe I can do what I do when at home as soon as my husband is here tomorrow. Usually I will exercise when I get that urge to snack and then I am not hungry after so I have a 50 to 80 calorie snack and then I am good but being her alone it is hard to do that as my parents are not always around or willing to watch the kids while I work out.

    Hey AMANDA! Walk away from the snacks! Just say no! Haha. I think you're on the right track. Try to distract yourself. In this book I'm reading it suggests that when you get an URGE try doing five different things to keep yourself busy and your mind off the snacking: exercise, chores, visit this forum, etc... And usually before you hit the fifth activity, your craving would have disappeared. It seems to work with me.

    And I also pre-empt my hunger. I eat on a schedule: 6AM brekkie, 9AM snack, 12NN lunch, 4PM snack, 7PM dinner. I find haven't really been having cravings lately since I've stayed away from sugar. Like when I stopped eating my McDonald's Hot Fudge Sundaes... I stopped wanting more. Kind of Chicken-and-egg situation I guess...

    Good luck!

    Keep up your spirits girls. It's a new week! We're going to do AWESOME!

    I am so happy that weekend is over. I ate way too much and the scale shows it. I gained 1.8 lbs. I am back on track today. I already logged my meals for the day. Now when I get home I can exercise.

    I agree with Tabby, I'm so glad the weekend is over!! Time to get back into my routine of working out, logging everything & drinking my water!! I've got some "cleaning up" to do with the scale!

    Hi girls!

    I just posted the challenge in the google doc:

    20 jump squats
    20 plank jacks
    20 walking lunges
    1 min plank

    I'm sure y'all can do it! :) I hope everyone had a great weekend is having a better week. Last chance workout tom for me! I'm going to be doing an hour and a half of yoga and hopefully 30 min to an hour of cardio/circuit training of some form. Haha. I may even run up and down the stairs at work during my lunchtime. I'm really really dying to hit 175! Wish me luck!

    (But I really need to up my calories. I think it's just bad planning. :( I've been having salads mostly and omelets for breakfast. I think I need to invest in some low carb protein shakes to make it easier. Or protein bars. Any other suggestions?)

    Hello again to the MFP neighborhood. I have been out of the loop for about 3 months - lost the motivation I think. Looking to get back in as my weight is back up there and I am so disappointed in myself. I got a used treadmill last week and am anxious to get busy. I have started watching my calories again as of this morning and I plan to start with a half mile run (and working my way up) on the treadmill after the kids go to bed each night. Hoping to see a result shortly so that I don't lose hope again.

    I am a little stressed - I will be having a lot of home inspections in the next couple of months. I am turning my daycare from certified to licensed (county vs. state). With that comes inspections from insurance companies and the state D.H.F.S.

    Also, my seventeen year old just got her license. I am not sure she is actually ready but she passed the test. Auto insurance will now quadruple.

    Hey everyone!!

    Looks like a great challenge MIna! Please excuse me, but I'll be avoiding you're first 2 items since my ankle is still not 100%. I really have to watch jumping up & down on it too much. But, I'm totally into the plank part & the walking lunges! Thanks!!

    I had a great step class today. During the toning portion I was curling with 10lb weights & during the push ups I was able to do 10 boy pushups & 15 girly ones! It's awesome to feel myself getting stronger & stronger!

    I'm grateful to this group for keeping me accountable & keeping me motivated!

    Let's keep our eyes on the prize & press on!! :drinker:

    Hi everone, :flowerforyou:

    I just got in from pushing a lawn mower for an hr. :sick: and expected to set and relax the rest of the evening until I got on here to log in and relized I have a challange to still do. thanks mina!!!!!!!!
    So i made myself do it.....Really I do enjoy the challanges.......I really need them this week.....But I'm not sure if I want to weight in on friday.... TOM is here and I'm sure feeling fat and I noticed the scale is up this morning too.......So we'll see after tomorrow......I think I'll go over to the school and run on the track....they just finished putting in a new one......See if I can do that mile again?????
    Mina you need to keep your calorie intake above 1200/day... I carry protein or granola bars with me for snacks... I also keep lots of nuts (peanuts & almonds etc.) around along with yogart in the fridge...witch arn't too bad on carbs. but I don't worry much about them I useally stay just below my aloted amount.

    :smile: Welcome back guntherma nice to meet you,,,, staying motivated use to be my biggest problem with weight loss but this great group of ladies has really helped me out in that area.... Knowing that I have to be accountable to someone has work on keeping me going.
