    Hey fitness friends, I am in!!! my goal is to lose 15pounds by Halloween. My name is Maria and I am a week new to myfitnesspal.com. My current weight is 254, and I've managed to lose 7pounds in 9 days. I have not worked out everyday due to studying for school and other stupid excuses. I plan to work out 30 minutes of cardio a day, and plan to join the gym in October with my son, to make it a family affair. GOOD LUCK to everyone....no I take that back...this isn't luck, this is will power, so GOOD WILL POWER to everyone and much success and happiness.....LET's BRING IT!!!!
  • I love a challenge! I hope I'm not too late to join. I am relatively new to MFP (3 weeks), but I LOVE it! People are great ... so supportive and encouraging and lots of great recipes, tips & ideas. I am going to set my mini goal for 175 by Halloween. Not really sure if that is realistic or not. I am at 183 now and try to maintain about 1400 calories per day. I also try to walk for 60-90 minutes per day at least four days per week and swim 30 minutes per day at least two days per week. The most helpful tool I have is this site...it keeps me honest and motivated! Thanks, y'all! Have a great day!

    I would love to join this challenge. I just started MFP on Sept 1. The first week I lost three but it was my TOM. Second week I went up a pound so it was tempting to give up! I just felt so much better so I stuck with it. I am down 5 more pounds as of yesterday morning. Yay!!!

    For this challenge, I would love to lose 6 pounds by Halloween. :)

    yesterday i went 610 calories over my 1200 budget........I have to explain about the mcflurry, I know it's not a good excuse, but I had a 13 min break at job. Worked from 4:30 pm til 10:15 pm. NOT COMPLAINNG AT ALL...we were slammed...they had me in several places throughout the day...drive thru taking both orders and cash...then a few hours later switched me from drive thru to taking orders in the lobby....then after a lil bit switched me back over to drive thru...me personally i prefer drive thru over ANYTHING ELSE there....I'M LOVING IT....LOL...so after i got off work, one of my friends wanted a mcflurry....SOOOOO I decided you know that sounds like a great way to end my day...lol...so i got snack size Reese's flurry.

    Then, when I get home my buddy had BBQ and I just COULD NOT say no to that...lol....I didn't even bother counting...didn't bother measuring or ANYTHING...LOL...anyways i can just count this day as ONE of my cheat days....lol...AFTER ALL my cheat days is the weekend...lol

    EXERCISE:
    60 MINS WALKING

    Well, I had gained 2 pounds and now I have lost them along with one more pound!! SO I will officially weigh in on Monday morn and see what that brings. I am excited for this challenge!! I really do want to lose the 15 pounds by Oct 31, but I will also be happy with 10 pounds as that would be the recommended 2 pounds per week and I really do want to keep this weight off!

    OK so i just signed up to start a couch to 5 k challenge that's starting on october 11 on MFP....i've never done anything like this before so along with my jillian michaels 30 day slimdown program i'll be doing this too

    i was wondering how in the world i was going to do this after i signed up for it...was i needing to look at my cell phone the whole time i was doing this or what??? my cell phone has a stopwatch mode anyways so i looked on the internet for like a couch to 5k music thing...and sure enough i found it :-) below is the link to it

    http://www.djsteveboy.com/1day25k.html

    after ur walking interval is up it makes like a chime sound...and very NOTICEABLE....and it does the same thing as when ur jogging interval is up...it does play music so its not like there's someone saying for u to start walking or jogging every so seconds....like i said that's what the chime sound does

    even though i have all 3 dvds to the program i use the ON DEMAND section on cable....they have all 3....at least level 1 of the 30 day shred...not sure of level 2...i dont want to think that far ahead...lol...instead of having to pop in dvds everytime i just turn on the tv and go to ON DEMAND and go to jillian michaels...i have not been using the weights for the simple fact i dont have the weights yet...not for another 2 weeks when i get paid again..i just got paid yesterday but i have bills to pay...lol...but here in a day or two im getting 2 - 20 oz water bottles and use those as hand weights
