Hello all. I am Carey (CareyBeth) - I am 50 years old, retired last July and moved to our 80 acres in SW Virginia. I am married and have a 10mo old rescue lab mutt named Hoover.
About 8 years ago I weighed almost 180 lbs. and lost 50. I kept it off for 6 years. Then, I discovered I have hypothyroidism (now on meds) and between that and retirement last year, I am up over 165 lbs. .... something I said would NEVER happen again. So, bought a Fitbit, have been trying to keep very active, and am on a quest to be healthy again. This is just the kick start I need.
Team RUBY (I think)
Currently 165.4
Goal: 145
10k steps every day for last 8 days.
Trying to keep a daily calorie deficit of at least 600 - 700 per day.
Other goals - get off blood pressure meds and get my cholesterol in check
10,000 steps everyday! That is FANTASTIC Carey! The closest I have ever got, is about 9500, that is really GREAT! Congrats0 -
How do we know what team we are on? Also, I see folks posting certain stats such as calories burned/deficit, calories consumed, steps taken, etc. Do I need to do that? I just ran a weekly report according to my BodyMedia armband and this is what I came up with:
Average daily calories burned - 2355
Average daily calories consumed - 1589
Average daily calorie deficit - 766
Average daily steps - 9445
Average sleep duration - 5:28 (yes, I don't sleep much!)
This includes 2 days of which I injured my knee moving and was laid up in bed (my usual daily steps are around 12,000). I ate Girl Scout cookies to console myself....LOL. And that led to an increased daily calorie consumption. I am trying to keep my calories around 1300/daily for a deficit of 1000 per day.
So what are the teams all about and how do we know which team we are on? 0 -

Go Pink Team!!!
ST: 205.6
GW: 140-150
Mini goal: get under 200!!
I usually eat around 1200 calories and will burn about 500+/- a day. Last Monday I was down to 201 but a bad, bad week got me up to 205.6. It is very depressing and made me want to quit because I have been losing about 1-2 pounds a week and on one week of not watching what I eat like a hawk I go up almost 6 pounds its ridiculous. I also have Hypothyroidism and have been having trouble getting that under control. I am exited about this team I hope all goes well!. Yesterday and Today have been great.
In about 3 weeks I have a police officer physical agility test so I am looking to get as ready as possible! Its not that easy for me to exercise since I am currently taking care of my mother who has stage IV renal cell carcinoma. So alot going on.0 -
My name is Carmen. My SN is super_chicva88 feel free to add me! I will friend anyone!
My start weight was:234
My start weight for this challenge is 226.4
My goal for this challenge is to get as close to 200 as possible but realistically i would like to be at 210 when this is over.
I usually eat about 1400 calories a day but I love chocolate pudding so I sometimes go over board with it. I am trying to get on a better workout plan. I cant wait for warmer weather so i can walk/ride my bike/ run outside. I think i am gonna start 30DS this week. I wish I had some people who actually do what they say they are gonna do instead of just saying it. Anywho... lets go team RED!!!0 -
My starting weight as of today is 291.2. Just had a baby Dec. 10, 2012 and trying to lose what I had already packed on prior to the challenge. I want to lose as much weight as possible so I do not want to assign a number to it, Just waiting to see how I do juggling both kids and work.0

Got all my water in. Didn't get to the challenge today. With bad knees and a bum shoulder, there's a lot I can't do, but I do what I can. Airdyne bike 30 minutes a day. Walking (with a knee brace). Whatever works, as long as I can move. Spent the evening going over remodeling plans with my daughter and sol. They're buying our house and we're downsizing right next door. Ought to be interesting.:ohwell:0 -
I know this is off topic, but it is very important that we get it done, Please.
And if everyone gets it done then I can come back and delete this message and stay on topic, YAY!
1. Please use the same screen name on Skinnyo that you use on MFP or it will make it almost impossible to do a spreadsheet and keep track of everyone with all the different challenge pages.
2. If you have already set one up, no problem its easy to change your screen name on Skinnyo, go to the ME tab at the top of the page, click on PROFILE, go to DISPLAY NAME and change it to match your MFP name, PLEASE 0 -

Way to go Natasha! I'm keeping my eye on you! I have a feeling that you are going to rock this challenge!! I want you to be the biggest loser....because you can do it!!! Then you are going to have that baby...when I read that I felt my heart skip a beat!
So...to join a team...if you look at the top of all the boards there is a post about joining teams "If you're new and don't have a color yet"...if you still have trouble after reading that send me a message and I will help you okay?
Have a great time at the gym today! You can do it!!! 0 -

Not to worry about going up, stress does horrible things to our body. Just know it was a bad week and go on. Just do what you have to eat well and do a workout and it will be ok in the end. Know that there's people behind you cheering you on that is what is so great about a group like this.0

Calories consumed yesterday: 1285
Exercise calories earned: I didn't exercise yesterday.
I have set my goal weight at 150 and once I get there I will see if I am comfortable with that or it will change. It's not all about that number for me, more how I look/feel. I have always weighed more than I look like I should. Even when I was small size 2/4 I still weighed almost 140.0
