Eat Healthy; Get Fit; Lose 100+ New Group 1st Weigh in Jan.

Katie, I feel that the numbers MFP gives us when we plug in exercise are a good middle ground/compromise for what my HRM says. Compared to what the WF+ says and what my HRM says, MFP is right in the middle

Brandy, at our weight, it's pretty safe to say that we burn 100 cals every 10 mins spent running. I torch that many just running in place with my Wii.

WTG, Katie! I understand about being excited about the doctor. I see my diabetes doc for a checkup on the 3rd. She'll be floored when she sees I've dropped 30 lbs since October, and ran a 5k!

I'm a newby... Just joinrf MFP last week, new to the whole thing and message boards etc, My goal is to loose 47 pounds.

Starting weight 1/11/10 197lbs
1/18/10 weigh in 193 lbs :-)
01/25/10 weigh in 194 :-(

I like reading the message boards.... helps keep me motivated!!

Hi everyone! My name is Andee. I started on MFP about a week & a half ago. I was looking for a calorie app for my phone but I got so much more! I'm looking forward to my weight loss journey and the support of others on the same journey.....

welcome Tricia & goaliemom. Christie- just keep trying and don't give yourself a hard time for mis-steps along the way. Try to get enough sleep, water & exercise first, that will help with the depression. we're here for you.

Nicole.... I think I was at 246 last Friday, but never posted.... this Friday i am at 241.6!!! Love your chart, Thank you!

weighed in today, stuck at 220 for the last few days. I blame AF. Will hopefully be 218 middle of next week, which is where I wanted to be today.

Did horrible last night, planned on making a nice Taco salad with ground turkey. Then the hubby says oh lets go to the casino, and there if you play for 2 hours you get a $20 comp. I wanted to eat at the restaurant but no he wanted the buffet. I have not gone over my calories since joining 30 days (today) so I figured I would have a cheat night. I ate over all my calories (1600) for the day in one sitting, and only had 750 left for the day. I totally regretted do it I felt stuffed and huge Uggggh.

I didnt want to get on the scale this morning but I am 295, second week under 300. So I can officially say it, out of the 300. That makes me feel good. I am also hoping since I had a lot of sodium last night that I am also having water weight plus its almost Mother Natures Time to visit.

I stole my moms dog for the weekend, so I get my big butt off the coach and take her for walks. Since I have no motivation to exercise. This is mine and my husbands weekend to have his son, so I am hoping to go to the Mariners Fan Fest (baseball) and do tons of walking there. Just hope I dont get tempted to eat there. I am going to bring the big purse for healthy snacks and buy water.

Hi gang! I am wondering if you are still taking newbies! I have been doing MFP for 4 weeks now. I have lost a total of 9 lbs so far. I would love to have a group that I check in with once a week!

Here are my stats:
01/05/10-- 241lbs
01/08/10--239 lbs
01/15/10--236 lbs
01/22/10--234 lbs
01/29/10--232 lbs

Thanks in advance for keeping me motivated!

if this doesn't sound reasonable, make another suggestion.

Katie- Seems reasonable to me. Thank you again for maintaining the chart! Enjoy your weekend.

Hello all! :happy:

I wanted to join this specific blog in the hopes like you all that I could lose the 100 lbs. I need to lose.

Here is a little about me:
My name is Jennifer. I am 34 years old and have a wonderful husband and two teenage kids, 14 and 18. My family just moved from the wonderful state of Alaska to Indiana. My husband was in the military and was medically retired and so we moved for work reasons. I miss my military family, but am glad that I am around my family now as well. I want to lose this weight for good, and want this to be the beginning of the rest of my life. This site in the past 6 days now has done more not just for my health but for me than I could have imagined. I hope I can join you all in trying to lose the big 100.

Thanks all! Have a good weekend! :flowerforyou:

welcome Jennifer - we'd be glad to have you join us. We weigh in on Fridays (but you could go ahead and tell us what your starting weight is now.) as you can see, if you look back through the posts, i have been helping us keep track of how we are progressing by creating a weekly chart that shows how much we've lost.

i'd be glad to add you in next time, just stay in touch here. :flowerforyou: -katie
