Hi all!!

Are you ready for Week 3?!

I know I am! I'm ready to get back on track and feel awful that I haven't been able to participate as much as I wanted to due to graduation and an unexpected out of state funeral.

What are your goals for this week? Have you been meeting your goals each week? What are you going to do differently during Week 3? Are you going to try something new?

I can't believe May is already half way over!

Keep up the amazing work!!!

    My goal this week is to burn 3,000 calories. I think it will be impossible to catch up to 16,000 since my first two weeks did not go well so I am focusing on each week but also making sure to not injure myself.

    Something new I am trying: as much as I love counting calories on MFP, it hasn't helped me lose weight but rather has helped maintain my weight (I am not happy with my weight so I'm not sure if this is even a good thing.) I tried WeightWatchers a few years back and it helped me lose some weight so I am trying it out again. If anyone else is doing WW along with MFP, please let me know! I would love to find a buddy :)

    I am ready for Week 3!!!

    Still nursing the injured back but getting a couple thousand of burn in each week even so. Helped that I was towing one of the twins on a trailer bike during Sunday's 2+ hour ride. Hoping PT referral comes through to get some help with clearing this up. The lack of nearly daily exercise is seriously depressing me :) I want to train!

    Aiming for 2000 this week. I came just short of my goal of 1800 this past week because I had to take an extra rest day due to soreness, but I think now that I'm adjusting to being at the gym regularly again the DOMS won't be so debilitating haha. If I can work out 5 times this week I should reach my goal easily.

    Tax, wish you a speedy recovery.

    Go luck, Ashley!

    I'm planning to redeem myself and get my *kitten* back on track. Week 2 has been lousy and emotional. I'm job hunting and there's just too much pressure. With every rejection, my self-confidence lessens and self-pity grows. I hate myself for doing that.

    Week 3 is very exciting for me. I'll be spending 3 of those days in Venice, sightseeing. It also means a LOT of walking and hiking. But I need to remember to go easy on pastas and pizzas. Will be hard but I'm surely going to try. :)

    It would be great if I get to 2000 cals at least this week.

    Good luck all!

    Week 3 goal - 3,000

    I am sticking with my same goal as last week. This weekend I am on the move - headed out of town to watch my daughter compete in the our State Track Meet so I know that I will not have Fri/Saturaday to work out! By leaving the same goal it will make me work harder on the other days!
