Thanks FitMom for starting this. What do you think about a post on Fridays sharing one success we had for the week; ie worked out 5 days; met calorie goal for the week; tried a new food; felt good when I looked in the mirror; had a good hair day. ANYTHING we appreciate about ourselves is a positive thing.

Here's to hoping I have something to share Friday!

    That's a great idea. It's easy to focus on all the stuff that didn't go right. I like celebrating the little victories.

    I'm also really excited to join a group here and commit to staying focused in the holiday build up.

    I like that. We're doing weekly weigh ins in the Halloween challenge group but I feel like this puts a more positive spin on it.

    Got a little miffed last night and went for a 20 min brisk walk instead of to the frig! :tongue:

    My wifi was down yesterday...my weekly accomplishment is that my family had pizza TWICE this week and I didn't have a bite!

    Hello everyone, I'm new here.

    I joined MFP 1 week ago today. I exceeded my goal, I lost 2 lb.s this week! I've not been exercise for a long time and getting on the treadmill this week has really felt great! Keeping a daily diary here is helping too. For example, I didn't realized I was getting too much sodium. Thanksgiving reunion is coming up for me. :flowerforyou:
  • I missed the Friday weekly accomplishment so I'll post it today!

    I didn't cave to my snacky cravings by eating junk and I went out to eat and had an awesome steak salad instead of burger and fries (and was completely satisfied by it!).

    Tuesdays are my weekly weigh in right now, so I'm posting today.

    Week 1 Lost 3.8lbs; didn't drink any pop; Logged meals daily.

    Still need to work on getting some exercise in and creating a habit of it.

    Looking forward to another good week.

    Have a great one!!

    Nice work! That is a great loss.

    I am posting my accomplishment today, because I'm just proud - I just ran (jogged) 25 minutes straight without walking for the first time in my life over my lunch hour.

    Happy Friday, Everybody!
    This week I posted my foods every day...good or bad. I'm seeing a trend of too many carbs and fats and not enough fiber. So...I know now that I need to get more veggies in and less other stuff.

    I measured around my hips and have lost an inch!

    I am drinking more water, but still short of 8 every day. But...I feel better. so...that's my accomplishments. Share yours, ok!?

    I am down a pound this week; yay! I also lost an inch on my waist, so I'm happy about that as well. There are donuts in the lunchroom at work today, so I'm going to try to stay away from those. That will be my NSV for today :happy: Luckily for me, there are no cream filled ones, so that will make it a teeny, tiny bit easier to keep my hands off.

    I'm down 2.8 pounds this week, I worked out or walked every day, I met my step goal every day, and I tracked everything even though some of my choices were terrible.

    I did not have a good food week, but I still have it all written down regardless. I am going to probably be about 1000 calories over for the week mostly due to eating out and not being able to play volleyball on Wednesday for that fourth workout (so down 1 workout for the week). Plus I'm going to a baseball game tomorrow, so I'll have to be very careful about making sure I stay within my calorie limit and get a really big workout on the books in the morning.

    On the positive side, I'm scheduled to be down 4200 calories a week to lose 1.2 lbs/week and if I'm 1,000 over my weekly goal - I'm still losing!
    Hooray for MFP!
    I'll only lose a lb. instead of more (likely), but I'll still lose a lb!

    Here's to seeing the more positive side of a bad week. :)

    Good job people! I was excited to post my first gym weight training session today...but the trainer cancelled! I did watch Biggest Loser which always inspires me.

    I guess this weeks accomplishment will have to be that I have logged for over 40 days straight. I often drop off at dinner or after. Looking for more inner dedication!

    I tracked my food and exercised every day. I am pretty on target with calorie intake but have to choose foods with less carbs and less fat. (even though I eat clean and only have healthy fats I am still over my goals). I also could do better in the water category. My weight is the same as last week....*sigh*. Oh well... keep plugging along! Great week everyone!!!! Lets just keep looking forward!

    Awesome job logging 40 days!! I just passed 10 days for the first time in a long time. Hopefully it continues!

    My week was awesome. What helped me to stay on track was my meal prep. I prepped my meals on Sunday. I'm currently on a 7 day detox which does not allow me to eat any form of meat . I can see a difference in my body already.

    Congrats to everyone on their accomplishments last week!!! :flowerforyou:

    My goals for September are to remove pop from my diet; lose 10lbs; check-in daily and log everything I eat; and develop an exercise habit.

    Accomplishments
    Week 1 Lost 3.8lbs; didn't drink any pop; Logged meals daily.
    Week 2 Lost 2.6lbs; didn't drink any pop; Logged meals daily.

    Still struggling to get my exercise started. :blushing: Busy schedule and not being a morning person are making it difficult.

    I’m proud of myself this week for eating at Taco Bell and still not drinking any pop. :bigsmile: Was very glad to see they have SoBe Lifewater.

    Good luck to everyone on the week ahead. We can do this!!

    Ok - admitted self-praise post. Feel free to scroll past, but I just have to tell someone!
    I'm so proud of myself for the past 3 weeks!
    I'm down a little over 3 pounds in 3 weeks (3.6 lbs exactly - and my goal was 1.2 lbs/week!), which makes me comfortable that I can reach my goal for September of 6 lbs. (although that goal is coming up FAST!).
    AND -- I saw a number on the scale I haven't seen since months before I got pregnant in August of 2012. I gained 35 lbs during my pregnancy and I am officially 36 lbs down since the day I had my son.
    WOOHOO!!!!

    Hope everyone else is having a GREAT month!

    This week I bought a scale. And my husband got me this Surface Pro. ????. I weighed myself this morning and it indicates I am losing some weight. The tape measure is not really showing it yet.
    It was a good week during the week I ate well and drank about 6 glasses of water daily. This weekend I am volunteer at a Combined Driving Event. That is a type of horse event and there should be a lot of walking. As long as I bring a healthy lunch I should stay on track. I did walk the fog and horse as planned. ????
