Hi All,

Are there any MFPers who have joined (or rejoined, like me :) ) in August 2010?

It might be a good idea to gang up on this thread and stay together.

Regards,

Turin

    I just joined today. I hit the wrong button. It says I want to GAIN 1 lb a week. I ment to say LOOSE! I can't figure out how to change it yet. I'll be accountable with you but I think I need to change that first.

    Good luck,
    Laura

    Started working out for the very first time with anykind of consistency in May.. began changing the way I eat in June.. discovered the MyFitnessPal iPhone app in late July and started using it and this site on August 1st. Awesome app at just the right time. So here I am as an August joiner.

    I restarted again on July 29th...been pretty good at keeping my journal accurate so far.

    Hopefully adding some extra calories will get me over this almost year long plateau.

    Have a freezer full of Lean Cuisines...that I haven't touched in 2 months because I'm trying to get away from overly processed foods...so I've kinda been kinda eating the same stuff over and over again...need some ideas....

    I'd be interested in seeing other peoples diary's to get inspiration for changing up my meal plans

    My Home > Settings > Update Fitness Profile (or something of the sort) Hope that helps!

    Just joined yesterday. Found out about the C25K and did day one tonight. Still in shock about how much we get to eat...

    Just joined! This is the first place I have been on this websitem, I just heard about it! I am hoping to become familiar with this site and become successful at my plans to loose weight.....not so successful since I started in May! Hopefully I can become motivated and in turn motivate others. It has been quite a struggle! Good luck to all the August joiners and I look forward to the challenge!

    I joined yonks ago, but always find excuses not to do it or fall off the wagon after about a week. This time I am determined. Also want to quit smoking sometime soon, so hoping that doesn't put a spanner in the works!

    The foods I tend to crave are sweet and crunchy - so carbs basically. The first few days restricting these "trigger foods" are always the hardest. Usually after the first week, it will get better. In time, you will actually begin to crave healthy alternatives - promise. My problem was once I allowed myself an inch to add some of the treats back in - I couldn't control it because it actually sets your body up to crave them more. I'm not allowing myself to do that again.

    I get to like 201 and then boom......the next day, I am back at old faithful 212

    I know the feeling, every time I manage to drop below 210, it's like my body says...'mmm...pizza' and I end up binging and ending back up above the 210 mark!!

    For me the danger mark is typically Week 5. Rationale : The first 4 weeks I am dedicated, focussed, disciplined since I am so looking forward to the outcome at the end of the month (how much did I manage in the first month)...and that outcome is generally pretty decent because you tend to lose faster when you start a diet/workout routine. As a result, Week 5 is the week of temptation. "Aw..I already lost more than I had planned...cant hurt to have one pizza" :wink:

    That's what I always fall prey to...going to be extra careful in that week this time.

    I have lost over 100 lbs & was actually 4lbs within my "goal weight" when the scale started going the other direction. Now I would be happy to just get some of the 25lbs I have gained back off. I made a practice of donating my old clothes, so I would be uncomfortable and more motivated in the event I gained some back, but now a few new outfits have found their way into my closet. Hopefully, we can all make it threw our individual rough patches together. This year, I reach 180.5 and then find myself back at 189, so my initial hope is to break the 180 mark.
