    Well I am shattered now. Just walking today taking the kids to school, going to the shops ect I have walked over 5 miles, and I did a short workout video earlier which was mainly lunges (which I hate) so I am sooooo achey right now. Im going to have a nice long bath once I've put the kids to bed I think!

    I just stumbled across this blog and I am in.
    SW 193
    CW 146.2
    GW 125 (but will be glad to get to 135)
    I started with mfp3 years ago and still have not made goal. Last year I only lost about 12 lbs. mainly because I didn't log in like I should, I am committed now. I did start eating cleaner last year following the Daniel plan, so that was a non scale victory. I feel I need more accountability so this is going to work for me.
    I will be 50 in March and plan to run my first 5k so to be down 10+lbs. would help a lot.

    Hi Ladies~ I love this group. Hope you don't mind if I climb aboard? This is my 2nd time on MFP, and I've done WW and South Beach in the past with good results, but I've slipped again. Regained 7 of the 11 # I lost last year so it's time to just get' er done LOL.

    :D I am happy to see so many familiar faces coming back day after day to report progress and encourage others. I have been on challenges in the past where dozens of people post "I'm in" and then never post again. This journey is a daily event and sharing with others is one of the keys to success.

    :D My friend that I like to walk with called me yesterday to make a date to walk this morning so I rearranged my schedule to have time for her. I was concerned that since we had just walked and talked on Saturday that she a big problem to talk about. Instead she said that her back had been bothering her and she decided that starting a daily walking plan would help and she thought that walking with me would help her get her plan going. Her cell phone has a pedometer on it and I suggested that she use that as a motivator.

    :D We're going to stay up late and watch the Ohio State vs Oregon football game. Jake was born in Ohio and now we live on the west coast so we don't know who to cheer for.

    I have used MFP in the past and tracked everything. I lost 30lbs almost 2 years ago. I put 12 back on and currently want to loose another 40lbs. I'm sure this is attainable but need to find my motivation. My husband and I are planning a get away after Easter so it would be awesome to loose 20 by Easter. So tonight I joined this group and logged everything that I ate today. Now I need to get my motivation to get moving. My husband works night shift so I will do some exercising after I get my children to bed. I can do this!!! Can't wait to read everyone's progress and get excited when I see what I am capable of! One question how do you all stay motivated? I do get discouraged easily when I slip up

    My gosh chilly run this morning. It was about 1'c this morning when I went for my run! I was lucky though since my friends who live on the west coast (of Ireland) were telling me it was snowing when they got up this morning! Ireland isn't very good at handling snow so there is no way I'd be able to go run in it, especially after bashing my face last week. =) Hoping to see some loss this Thursday but I'm aware that I might not get much because I didn't have a great eating week last week. This week I'm focusing on eating better and staying under my calories!

    I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday!
