    I dont know what I weigh. I'm in the middle of passing a kidney stone. I think I'm retaining a lot of fluids.

    I'll give up potato chips. I don't even like them, but I eat them because they are right in front of me at my mom's house and they're free.

    I'm giving up alcohol and cheese, as well. I actually like both alcohol and cheese, so that's gonna sting a little.

    I will begin logging calories again, beginning April 3rd.

    I will do one chore to better my life every day. Such as finally doing taxes, etc. I did a chore yesterday and today, so I'm good on this already.

    I will do 30 girl push UPS every day, since I HATE push ups! Starting today.

    So I'm down three things, up three things.

    Holy cats! Better get one of those fridge charts with the gold stars to keep trak of all that!

    Good luck! I lowered my alcohol consumption too. hard at first but getting in lots of exercise and protein helps. Donno why.
  • no chocolate anything and starting green smoothie thingy... gotta go shopping! I got my son on almond milk! lol!!! my daughter still likes cows milk. working on her! :)

    I am currently 158.2 according to my scale... :P my ultimate goal is to be closer to 140 or 135, but I like that we're taking it 5 lbs a month. thanks!!!!

    I'm trying very hard to stop eating before I'm over-full and making lots of progress. Before dinner, I put full portions onto my food diary. Then I go back and adjust things down if I don't eat the full portion because I'm comfortably full. I love seeing the calorie numbers go down!

    that is a smart way to do things...
  • CW: 157.7.
    1. Lose 5 lbs this month
    2. Complete first 30 days of P90X without skipping any work outs
    3. Give up candy - this is hard since I usually have tootsie rolls at work but I really feel this is an addiction/crutch/habit that I need to break :)
  • I may give up something else... I don't eat much of it... don't drink sodas... gave up the sparkling waters because of the aspartime... can I do something? like when I watch tv...well we don't have cable so no real tv... videos, I have to do say...4o squats?

    Oh, I can give up red meats! THAT will be hard. my son doesn't eat chicken so that what's usually served... K. no red meats. got it. God, I am gonna need help! especially since I really like eating proteins... I can do this!

    I love it. It keeps me motivated when I wear it and I love seeing accurate numbers for my workouts since mfp's are notoriously off. I bought it used off of craigslist when I had my last baby . I hate that it won't sync to mfp though and it's website is terrible so I don't use it at all! Body fit media I hear is a lot better and syncs to mfp!

    My sister's wedding weekend, I took my shake mix and travel juice-box things of almond milk so I would have something reasonable to eat at least once a day all weekend. Fast food was eaten at McD's via the grilled chicken, sweet chili wrap which weighed in at 260 calories and was FILLING--even my 250+ brother was full on one.

    My exercise on driving days was getting gas at the farthest pump, walking up and down the aisles for about five minutes. *snark* I did two miles on the treadmill and realized I forgot that I wasn't wearing my fitbit. I also swum at the pool and played with the nephews each night for about two hours each night. So my calories vs intake wasn't too terrible I thought.
