I would like to join. :-). I am in the same boat - using the half marathon to motivate me. Mine is at the end of April In some hilly terrain. At first I ate more as my body was gearing up for those runs but now I am eating more protein to sustain me. I only have gotten to an eight mile run, but I have come a long way. I could not run a mile eight months ago. Are you following a training regime to prep yourself? My friend who does full marathons asked me if I was but I am not. Good luck!
I have a printout that my aunt sent me. It's nothing extreme. I need to research diets because Spark from Advocare isn't sustaining my energy through the whole workout!0 -
I just started using MFP almost about 2 weeks ago and have lost 3.4 pounds so far! I weigh myself once a week and have also decided to start taking down measurements. Just going by weight alone can be somewhat deceiving when tracking your progress i think.
I agree! Especially if you start packing on muscle the scale can go up and so can the discouragement!!0 -
I used MFP beginning January 2014 and stayed on the site for 5 months, and went from 265 lbs to 225lbs. Then I went off until January 2015 and gained 24 lbs. I have now gone from 249 lbs to 239 lbs in 2 weeks. The site works very well, and any support is always appreciated. I am a male and 70 years old. Goal is 190 Lbs.
Welcome! I check this group daily and am no expert my any means but encouragement goes a long way!0 -
That's a great idea!workout4150 wrote: »I'm in for the challenge of the week. 1.5 pounds by Sunday. Any takers0 -
I'd love to join too! I've been struggling with yo-yo dieting my whole life. Emotional eating is my downfall.
Emotional eating is definitely my downfall also! That's when I usually try and do some kind of exercise. It's definitely mind over matter... Or stomach! We can do this!!!0 -
Hello folks! It's the top of the morning for me! Today is strength training for me in the gym. You guys are keeping me going! I love it!
I want to challenege you all and have each of you post your most recent progress. Whether that's inches lost, or a few extra reps, or a faster mile time, or even a consistent diet! I want to read it!
Let's all buckle down this week and bring it to the table on Sunday!
I can't wait to see your progress! Such motivation!0 -
I'm planning on trying to do an extra cardio workout today! I'm starting out slow with exercise, doing it Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. I did my workout yesterday and feel really good today so I may try to get an extra one in today if my little one lets me0

I'm struggling today! I want cake, and chocolate, and more cake, and cheesecake, and chocolate!!! Any fighting sugar cravings tips?!0
-
A good sugary snack substitute is a banana dipped in a little hot chocolate powder. It's sweet and you get that chocolatey taste too!0
-
Oh boy. That sounds tough! Did you manage to get through the day alright? What about getting some Special K treats? They're low in cals and fat but nice and sweet for those days where you just need it.0

Looks like we all skipped out on the Sunday "check-in"
How's everybody doing??0 -
Not bad. I did super good during my son's birthday weekend! Usually I say "It's a birthday and we're traveling!" But I kept to what I wanted. I even went for a run before his party
I was pleasantly surprised with the photos of me that day too. Today however, I could have done better. I needed carbs for some reason :S So I ate 2 bowls of popcorn. (Oops) tomorrow will be better though. How are you? 0 -
So I have been watching calories and exercising for about four weeks now with now change in weight. I am really starting to get discouraged. I don't know what else to do. I am a nursing student and have to sit a lot for studying and class, but I am really trying to make major lifestyle changes and seeing no improvement has me wondering why I am even trying. help!!0
-
Have you been taking measurements?0
-
I've been doing well for the most part. It's been 3 weeks and I've lost 6 pounds with just watching my portions and some light exercise. I've been trying to quit drinking soda though which has been a struggle. This week I want to "amp up" my exercise, maybe add in an extra day or work out a little bit more one day.0
-
I also would like to join in the challenge, I need all the help and support I can get. Oh sorry for being rude my name is Jonathan and my goal is to reach 230 lb. I was weighing in at 273lb and i reduces it to my current weight is 252lb still have some ways to go.

My first thought would be muscle gain. You may be losing fat but gaining muscle if you're working out.
Stress can make it harder to lose weight also. Keep eating clean and exercising and you're energy should start to improve. I'm not a professional- just speaking from experience!0 -

Anyone interested in being an accountability partner? I lost 25 lb last yr and need some encouragement for the days you want to cheat. I am happy to encourage someone else too.0
-
I have anew exciting update from me! Yesterday I officially hit 50 pounds down, and reached my goal of Pre Pregnancy weight! YAY!!0
-
Hi Wow you guys are great! Been doing MFP since mid November and down 20lbs. It's been really hard though. But I'm happy with any results I get. I hope I don't go too overboard on food cuz of the Super Bowl. Anyone have any healthy snack ideas? Do share. 0

So I feel like the last week I've kind of lost track of everything. I've exercised a little but not as much as I was and I havnt been keeping track of what I've been eating.
I usually do my weigh in's on Saturday but am really nervous to jump on the scale tomorrow.0 -
Keep going yall!!
Summer is just around the corner. The satisfaction of reaching your goal is far more worth the sacrifices than the taste of that piece of chocolate!!0 -

Happy hump day folks!
I'm chowing down on a veggie salad from subway.
Making good lunch choices pushes you to do better the rest of the day!
Keep up the work! You all inspire me so much!!0 -
