Check in for the week...didn't lose, but didn't gain. Managed to login everyday and also get my exercise in. Happy with that and looking forward to a loss next week (sometimes goes in spurts for me). Great work everyone!0

My goal is to work out 2x/week fr 30 minutes and plan my meals for the day the night before. I want to start of slow so that I do not burn out and give up.
I look forward to losing weight with all of you guys....0 -
Sounds good to me, I seem to go hard then slack which always shows on my weigh-ins. I'm a 31 year old very active more of five kids, three teenagers, 1 toddler, and a 5month old infant. Finding the time for myself it a fight its self. But I truly need to do it.
Goals:
1. Cut back on my sugar intake.
2. Exercise at least 5 days per week.
3. Start interacting weights into my workout at least 3 days per week.
4. Stop eating past 8:00pm
5. Eat lot and lots of healthy snacks....0 -
I can totally relate.im super nervous about the holidays also.but just see how far you have come,and focus on that.For a whole yr i got too comfortable with where i was at,i thought i lost 60 lbs,i deserve a break,but im still not happy because im not at goal weight.So just dont stop,i finally knew that i had to keep going,and even though i did gain 10 lbs,i noticed it for sure.so now that the holidays are right around the corner,i cant gain anymore.Hi! I'm 27 and a single mom and student. I have lost 80+ lbs since December but the loss has really slowed down the last several months. I'd like to get to the 100 lb mark by the end of the year but I don't think that's realistic now. I would like to try to at least get down to about 170, so 15 more pounds. I started 30 Day Shred today and am going to keep walking and running as well. I really need to focus on tracking, eating better and drinking more water too. I'm up a few pounds from just the other day. Starting weight today is 184.8. I'm getting nervous with the holiday's coming up. I really want to stay on track and see some more results0 -
Dont be sad,did you take any mesurements? sometimes the scale wont sgow,but will with inches!!I'm sad, fellow mamas. I unfortunately didn't lose any weight this week. I don't get it, I'm eating a lot less, not even eating any chocolate now but I can't seem to see a difference. I really hope I start seeing some progress in the coming days or I fear the worst..... Forfeiture
On the plus side, I didn't gain any. Well done all of u soon to be slinky slim ladies

mssstu2010:Hey!! I am actually starting up a similar group as well, but its through a private online facebook challenge. Thats awesome that you are ready to get back on track. I had recently stared that journey myself. Back in May i said enough was enough, and started doing Insanity... fast forward 5 months, and i've now lost 20 lbs, and gone down almost 5 sizes. I feel soooooo much better, and motivated to helping others. Getting started is sometimes the hardest part!! Great to meet you ladies!
Sorry to hi-jack here but your before and after pics are great! I would love to know how you did it and how you stayed so focused and motivated! Would love to join your facebook challenge!0 -
I so need to join this group! I was doing so good and then something happened - I can't track calories anymore, bored of the gym. Probably because my MFP friends are no longer on it and my gym buddy left when she became pregnant.
I am in Langley (British Columbia), have 2 children (8 and 20 months), and need to lose 10-15 lbs!.0 -
I am in... just gotta remember to come back and check in. I am needing to lose a min of 60 lbs by next year so I am aiming 10 lbs a month till xmas. I always lose faster in the winter and have a hard time in the summer so I am going to push as much as I can while I can. I need as much help as I can get.

Goals for the week water water and more water, I really need to get more water in my routine. I am now keeping a bottle on my desk and its helped but not really enough any suggestions would be great.
Also I need to lose weight this week, but I think I did pretty good after just getting back on track this week (after a month off the wagon) and not weighing in at the first of last week (I didn't want to see the number) so I know its a gain and I shouldn't be ok with it, but I am THIS week, but never again.0 -
Great job with the losses ladies. We can all do this-
I did not meet my goal of logging everything each day. I am still trying to get through the weekends, ugh. Goal for this week log everything each day!
Last weeks weight 339, CW 333.8.0 -
Hey guys!! My first week on the "Mama Back on Track Challenge" went very well. Lost 5.8 pounds this week. Thank you for starting this challenge. This was just what I needed to get motivated.
I also glanced at how some of you did this week and I was so happy for you! Way to go ladies!!! Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:0 -
I feel I should have a better handle on things since I've been doing this for what seems like a lifetime. None-the-less, here I am still trying to get it right one day at a time. I'm a 46 year old mother of two (son-13, daughter-10). I work from home with my husband (he'd say I work FOR him, clearly he's delusional). [Shameless plug: DCMETHOD provides furnished short-term housing for folks coming into the Washington, DC area]. I've been overweight since my 10+ birth. Got as high as 331 pounds. Currently at 183.5 and have been there for a while. I've been through a number of phases on MFP. My current weight loss of 50 pounds started on Dec. 2, 2011. I was hoping to get to my goal of 170 by the anniversary date. Making my needs a priority is always a challenge as you all know, but I've simply got to do this for me. We all deserve to be FIT and FABULOUS so LET'S DO THIS! Feel free to add me.0

I guess I should join this too... I am 36, almost 37, and have about 40 lbs. to lose. I've been at a standstill for a couple months now. It's not really a plateau because I know what I am doing wrong - eating and drinking too many calories. I have gotten into way more exercise and fitness this year, but then I eat back all my exercise calories and then some. So what I really need to focus on is not rewarding myself with too much food/wine every time I have a good workout.
I am running 3 - 4 times a week and then doing some light strength training 2 - 3 times a week, so I'll just continue that. I just need to stick to my calorie goals. I'd love to lose 4 lbs. this month.
This is me! I am at a standstill, actually have gained 3 pounds since August- am working out 5-6 days a week but eating it all back at the end of the day when I am starving! It seems that I focus on exercise and my diet falls about or I focus on diet and my exercise falls apart- I just need to get it together!0 -
Hey,how's everyone doing? Just checking on your progress,I didn't eat too well yesterday,but it didn't effect my weight at all. So happy about that.Ima try to workout today n tomorrow,then I have the whole weekend off so I have no excuse!!0
-
I'm in! I need to get back on track as well! I keep starting Insanity and then quitting...I get bored. Going to start again today and hopefully I can stick to it! Add me!! I have about 10-15 pounds to lose (I think?)...I'm not sure how much exactly...Just want to be comfortable in my own skin.

I'm in! I lost 30 lbs in winter 2010. Gained 10 back in summer of 2011 (6 months later, ugg). Stayed there until Spring 2012 when I gained another 10 lbs. I'm now ready to lose what I have gained back. I was happy at my 30 lb loss so that is where I plan to journey to.
SW (2010): 179
CW: 162
GW: 145-150 depends on how I feel when I get there.
30 day goals:
1- Plan all my food for the day ahead of time and eat that and nothing else.
2- Stay within my alloted calories for the day.
3- Exercise 30 min/day at least. Even if it's just a walk around the block.
4- Drink more water and less beer.
Not really concerned about how much weight I might lose in the next 30 days. I feel like if I can get these things in order then the weight will start to drop off. I also want to be accurate with my cals in and out so I can figure out what my real TDEE is. I'm going to stay as consistent as possible for science sake. Good luck everyone. I will do my best to check back every Monday.0 -
Congrats, ladies!
Today was my weigh-in day. I'm down 3.5 pounds since last Wednesday, but I don't know if that's a real number. I was sick earlier this week, so I didn't eat very well. I guess we'll see!
My goal is to lose 1.5-2 pounds a week. That means I am going to have to up my exercise, so there's another goal: up my exercise.0 -
Hey everyone, This looks like a great idea and I'd love to join the challenge:)
CW: 196
30 day GW: under 190
Long term GW: 150
Things I will shoot for this week: Drink more water, exercise at least 3 times.
Good luck everyone!0 -
My goal was to lost 4 pounds this month and I've lost 7 in just over two weeks ;D0
