High today is 3 workout days in a row! I was teetering at the edge of falling back into bad habits on Monday, and I pulled through!!! This is HUGE for me! I have had such a tendency to get in a bad groove, and be really complacent of getting out of it. This time I fought back!0

I have just joined the group.. I feel bad to start on a low but the positive is that the low has given me the push to join a group for support.
I'm 5ft 2 and just turned 30. I have 50lbs to lose and it just seems impossible. I have been using MFP since before xmas but have gained weight; so my end goal is getting further and further away. I am never really sure how many calories to take in each day as i am so short. I was sticking to 1200 but lost nothing; so put it down to 900 and have gained another 2lbs this week.
I started jogging a few weeks ago and so am doing about 30min jog 4 times a week but this will increase as i build up the amount i can run. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated ....
I am going on holiday at the end of july and at the moment i feel i may just cancel it for fear of having to see photos of myself in a bikini!!
thanks for listening0 -
Definitely not enough calories love. No-one should really eat below 1200 on a regular basis. The only thing you will do is get your metabolism used to accepting a lot less which is totally not sustainable.
Check out the group eat more to weigh less and make sure you are eating back your exercise cals.0 -
My high is that I am FINALLY able & ready to get back on track! Last Jan-Aug I was on MFP and was down 30lbs. I was looking good! Unfortunately, my longtime back issue came to a head. I needed to have emergency back surgery due to a nearly ruptured disc pressing on my nerve root. Since last Aug I've had to have two more back surgeries- one for a reherniation and the last for a severe staph infection at my incision site. I was hospitalized for a week after the last surgery and was sent home with an IV port to receive antibiotics twice a day. Before and after each injection I had to flush the line with saline. Needless to say with the 8 injections a day of salt water and my lack of mobility that 30 lbs came right back! :sad:
After almost 4 months, I'm feeling great! :bigsmile: I worked out at the gym last week and my back didn't hurt at all! Yesterday, I went shopping and bought a bunch of organic fruits and veggies for my new "clean eating" plan. I'm starting with little goals. I'm going on a girl's trip to Vegas in a month so my goal is to firm up a little and hopefully lose 8-10 lbs.
I'm so glad I'm feeling better. I can't wait to look and feel my absolute best!0 -

Kind of a low, kind of a high...I was feeling a little depressed today. Living in a foreign country means that some of your comfort foods are hard to come by. Ended up managing to fit the hot dogs (yes that's plural) I was craving in my calories for the day. They were more like cocktail weenies, but with three or four per 'bun' it still worked out0

Hello all. I've got a low and a high. I was doing great last year until about October or November. I had lost just about 10 lbs and have gained it all back plus a few extra. I've been slowly getting back into MFP, and last week had started taking some daily walks. This week I decided to restart 30DS after quitting halfway through last year. I got through 10 minutes and had to stop on Monday. Yesterday, I got brave. I hadn't been on a scale in months. I weighed in and was soooo disappointed to see that I was 10 lbs away from my all time high from 8 years ago! Huge low for me!
So, after work I went home and got all the way through level 1 of 30DS, and still got my daily walk in! It felt so good! I hope I can manage to keep this motivation that I'm feeling.0 -

I am excited to start and looks like there is great support in this group

I am really struggling right now. March has been a tough month. At the end of February I came down with a nasty case of bronchitis which lasted 3 weeks. As I was just getting over the bronchitis, I came down with a stomach bug which only lasted a couple of days but through me for a loop. Now I am having problem with my back. I have had chronic back pain in my mid/upper back since my first son was born. In September 2013 I finally did something about it. I went through physical therapy and it was feeling great!... until last Thursday when I was worshipping the porcelain goddess while battling the stomach bug. Now I am in constant pain. It hurts to lift my arms and carry my kids, I want to cry if I cough or I sneeze. I have started doing the stretches and exercises that I did during PT and it is helping but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I am finally in the right mindframe, that i want to work out, and run and be active and healthy but I know I cant push myself right now, I need to heal. IT isn't fair!
Pity party over!0 -
Definitely struggling. For starters, I'm tired, groggy and fluff-headed. That is partially due to going overboard on wheat for three days in a row. The physical effects far outweigh the temporary good taste of the food! I feel so crummy. There's always struggles personally too. Trying to figure out who I am, what I'm meant to do, what makes me tick, etc. That's the toughest part right now. I'm so used to just being the happy-go-lucky one for everyone, putting on that smiley face. Now, all the times I did that are starting to effect me.0

My high is that I prepped lots of meat and veggies for breakfast and lunch this week. I'll have no excuses to eat out.0

Highs: I had a week off from work, I am now capable of running the equivalent of a 5K and started a 10K training program; so I'm way ahead of where I wanted to be in preparation of my 1st 5K coming up in August.
Low: have to go back to work tomorrow and didn't touch any of the work I brought home with me0
