How funny~ Exactly 170.00 last Friday and today! I wasn't expecting a loss with overeating (and..ahem drinking) for the holiday parties and with TOM here, so staying exactly the same works for me! :happy:
I'm doing the Philly Color Run on Sunday and I'm sooo excited! It's my first ever race~ even if it's not an actual race I'm still proud of myself already! :laugh:0 -
Hey guys! This challenge is def helping me kick it up a notch so that I meet my goals! SO THANKS
I'm delonda 21 yrs old from baltimore, md. Nursing major and want to study pediatric nutrition after.
This challenge should put me at my first goal weight of 125! I think I may stop there or try for 10 more lbs. But one step at a time and gotta get to that goal first
feel free to add me.0 -

I didnt expect a loss this week. Two days of going over on calories, I just didnt have the push I needed to do well this week. My motivation was gone, and frankly this challenge was the only think that keps me coming back to MFP.
This weigh in has remotivated me...shown me what a little hard work and dedication can do. I needed this weigh in!0 -
Under Calories today AND I got in a bunh of water! WIN WIN!
How was everyone else's day?
These are the foods my husband cooked yesterday... a thick, juicy, aromatic steak, chicken mole with beans and rice, and tomato basil soup with garlic toasts. Told you all it's a lot of temptation when he's home! ;-) I made sure to burn lots of calories, stayed in my green numbers and even had a nice deficit! I really like having him home but I have to say... three more days of food temptation! I think I can... I think I can... I think I can... be good!0 -
Not me way over i've had a rough 3 days didnt check in and went way over all 3 days :sad: So I guess now we just pick ourselves up and get on the ball weigh in 3days! Good luck and drink your water : )
I have been in the same boat, I have been going over and not exercising. And super duper stressed bla blah blah... any way just get up and do it the next day. I hope your week gets better!
Motivation time... Try checking on here first thing in the morning and then go read a few of the success stories on MFP. The most motivating one, for that day, print the picture out, cut off the head, and put it on the fridge. Or something similar... We can do this!0 -

My husband is the same way, except he is home all the time. Its so hard, which is why I have had a few over days. I need to keep the green. Today I am beginning to work out in the morning, so that if I end up with a temptation it wont ruin my whole day.0 -

It's gonna be a long, hard month for me, lots of traveling, my birthday, and moving none of which are exactly condusive to eating healthy.
Those would all throw temptations at me too! Good luck!0 -
I am happy to say I did stay under my calorie goal for the 4th! I got up, got in my exercise, and enjoyed the day. The planning ahead definitely helped me too. I checked the calories for the honey mustard sauce (that I do love) and decided ahead of time that it was not worth the extra cals. If I hadn't taken the time to check ahead of time I know it would've added an extra 300+ calories (ouch!) to my day. Yea!!! for planning ahead!!!!
You did fantastic!0 -
Hi guys, this is my first post after the weigh in on Monday!! Was on vacation the whole week and went over my calorie value
most of the days but did compensate a little bit with all the hiking, biking and swimming! Will be. Weighing in tomorrow! Keeping my fingers crossed for at least maintaining my weight!0 -
Mel2626 - "I'm doing the Philly Color Run on Sunday and I'm sooo excited! It's my first ever race" - Way to go! Good luck!
Mommamindi - "My motivation was gone, and frankly this challenge was the only think that keps me coming back to MFP.

"My husband is the same way, except he is home all the time." HARD!! Your exercise will definitely help and still eating the yummy stuff but logging it all and having a lot less of everything will help too. Good luck!0 -

Glad I'm not the only one who weighs on Fridays!
I like weighing on Friday because then I know that whatever I do on the weekend (which is typically never anything bad) doesn't negatively effect my weigh in.

Good Job......Might be asking a dumb question but what is chicken mole Kristen?
Have a good week - end everyone 0 -
It sounds like the challenge is staying under calories? I have managed to stay under calories. Yeah. If this is not the challenge know that this thread is still a bit confusing to me. If someone could message me if this is not the challenge I would love that. Cheers to all.

Hi All! Have been surviving what I think of (dietary wise) as the lion's den - we are at my in-laws for 4 days & my MIL is a great cook - and there is nothing light, low fat, etc. here. We've been spending most of our time at his Aunt's place on the water & no access to any computer/MFP there. I think I've been doing ok. I brought some of my own food & snacks - so hope all is well.
I bypassed burgers, hot-dogs, potato salad, pasta salad, etc. with 2 bunless turkey burgers & watermelon
For the delightful trip to Pizza hut, I made 1 trip to the salad bar, had half a breadstick & did treat myself to some chemical laden (but oh so tasty) Diet Pepsi
Breakfast options have been pancakes, french toast, eggs, toast, fruit - so I skipped all that & stuck with my high fiber oatmeal & added fruit.
I brought almonds, "puff cakes" (like a larger flatter rice cake) & salsa, fruit & part-skim cheese sticks to snack on.
Being away from my scale has been tricky as I have no real gauge as to how successful I"ve been. We've been active, and yesterday I did my couch to 5K walk/jog.
So, enough about me...

Hugs,
Amy0 -
So I started jotting down my measurements and comparing them from month to month. I thought THAT would be a better motivator when the scale isn't moving. (which my scale likes to STICK in the 230's a LOT longer than I care to mention) SO....I did my monthly measurements today and I lost a total of 5 inches!!!! I lost in my chest, my bust, my calves and my waist. I'm SO happy about this!!!
I will be weighing in on Monday....I actually work harder (exercise more) on the weekends since the weekdays are a little more hectic for me. But when I got on the scale today it said I lost over 2 lbs since Monday...so I'm hoping it holds steady for me!
I see a TON of weight loss so far this week! Great job to you ALL that managed to get through the 4th of July unscathed!0 -
Late start today leaving the FIL's this morning, terrible weather on the drive home, TOM decided to bill me early this month, busy busy day at the shop, so busy in fact that I missed the 20 phone calls from my Mom to tell me my Dad was having chest pains so they went to the ER, and up he went to the OR to have a stint placed in his heart, thank the heavens he didnt have a full-on heart attack again, after hours on the phone with her and the hospital, grabbed a quick bite after work, and just got home. Other than the fact that my Dad is alive and semi well, it was a Horrible Day. Going to make me some Sleepytime Tea and see if that takes away my ChocoTaco craving. (and I dont really even care for sweets all that much, aghhhhhhhhhhh!)0

I LOVE how many more posts there are to read now the new challenge is bigger
I had some great news yesterday, I've managed to blag 2 interviews for next week. They're a bit further than I would like to travel but right now I would take anything! The only downside is it does mean I would have to finish volunteering which I do love, I get a great high from helping people and it has been a great experience!
I've been pretty good with my calories this week, I'm still aiming for 2000 cals a day I was up by a pound in the week but thats back down now and I'm hoping to shift another by Monday to start off with a loss! I was taking supplements as well - CLA not sure if anybody else has heard of them but they helped me bust a plateau last summer, anyway I was taking them for a few days but they seemed to have a bad reaction with my anti-depressants so I've stopped them now and will just hope the plateau ends soon. I would just love to get past the 180's and stop losing and regaining the same 2 lbs!
Well done to all the losses from yesterdays weigh in, I love seeing so many new faces in our group.
@kristinkt - That's awesome for staying under on the 4th! I'm from the UK but from what I understand a lot of people on your side of the world seem to go a bit crazy with their food choices on this day.
@kcthatsme - wow I would not have been able to resist those choices! That all sounds so good!
@Amybyexample - I'm so proud you've managed to resist all those yummy foods and planned ahead by taking your own. I hope you manage to get a loss after all your hard work!
@CrysButcher3 - Well done on losing inches, its not always about the scale. By losing just 3 lbs I lose over 15 inches so I understand how frustrating it can be to not see the scale go down. Keep up the measurements it's a great way to keep track of progress!
@bcdpearce - I'm glad to hear your dad is ok, it must have been a horrible ordeal for you! I'm sure everyone will be praying for you.0 -
. I would just love to get past the 180's and stop losing and regaining the same 2 lbs!
GOOD LUCK! You can for sure do it! This recently happened to me where I was stuck gaining and losing the same 3lbs for a few weeks. I decided to take a break for lifting as i was doing it 4days a week and just have a pure cardio (deloading) week and it came right off plus more. Maybe give that a try0 -

It's my 8 month anniversary on MFP, so I have uploaded my latest progress pictures to my profile. I don't really see much difference from my last set but I am down a clothing size so must have just lost it proportionately.
I am off to see Nickelback, Three Days Grace and I Mother Earth in an all day outdoor concert. There will be no access to healthy food but i will be walking a lot so hopefully that will offset the high calorie food. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Good luck with the scales! :drinker:0 -

Saturday weigh in!
Whoo hoo 2lbs down even though I was on vacation. I walked, swam, logged in my food diary, and drank my water goals! Not as hard as I thought it was going to be.
I am reconsidering continuing with the 30 Day Shred or if I should just stick to cardio and basic strength training. The Shred does not move the scale. Although I like the loss in inches I would like to see the scale continue to move like it did this week. I was stuck at the same weight for the past 3 weeks while doing the Shred. I didn't do it while on vacation and lost 2 pounds! I need the mental boost and for the purpose of this challenge I want to see the scale move....down!
Love the support and motivation being part of this challenges brings.0 -

Lost a pound!! I ran a 5k last Saturday in 28:11. Then ran a mile in 7:37 on Tuesday. I just finished 4.25 miles when I had to walk 3x in 42:39. I have drank 8 cups of water every day except yesterday though I have been in the red several times this week. Oh well, something is working. :happy:0 -
