    Just for fun: So far I've been just jogging with intermittent other things, I think I need to kick it up a notch so I'm going to add 60 burpees to the days that I don't run, save for at least 1 day of rest each week. Hopefully this falls under the "fun" category :P

    If you don't mind me asking..how tall are you? I just joined this yesterday and for me the biggest challenge to lose weight is to really admit to myself that I need to. I am 5'7'' and I hide my weight well, so when I tell people I can't eat this or I can't eat that they (for the most part) always say, "but why? you look fine". So mentally I always start off excited and by the end of the first week of being on any diet I always fall off the wagon.
    I recently got to 161 lbs, went down just watching what I am eating to 155 lbs, yesterday I joined this website at 155 so:

    Since I saw that your goal is the same as mine, and that you are doing so well (12 lbs in 1 month is amazing), I wanted to reach out to you and know what you do to keep yourself motivated and to not rationalize your way out of being on a diet....

    Cheers,

    Ali

    I'm really good at persuading myself I look fine, and talking myself out of diets!
    at 5'6" my goal is 55kg as this is what I weighed a few years ago...and that's when I felt best about the way I looked and felt.
    so joining this group is all about accountability and motivation to keep up a healthy lifestyle.
    I joined in January and lost about 10lb, then my loss really slowed down in Feb...I am determined to keep to my goal (excercise and weight loss)
    good luck!

    I have decided I am not going to be ashamed of not knowing how to use all the cardio stuff at my gym.
    I am going to try the elliptical machine and check out the bike.

    Good luck everyone!!

    March would be my second month of diet, healthy eating and MFP. Until now I am really pleased with the result. This month I would like to continue of course and loose some weight, 5 or more pounds :). I really want to go really steady with this, I want to change my life not just my appearance.
