Day 3 - just finished my 3rd day of insanity and for sure it has kicked my butt.. my thighs and abs feel sore !! My eating habits haven't been good I'm still struggling getting my breakfast and healthy foods throughout the day .. it's so hard seeing easter candies all over the house and hot cheetos omg they are my weakness lol

Hi. went to a Zumba Toning followed by a Zumba class and kicked my butt. It lasted 90 minutes and was really intense.

My husband and I started getting up an extra hour earlier in the mornings to work out. The first month or two were tough (we are up at 4 am). But now that we are in a routine - if we skip a day or two I can feel it. Now that I have my exercising into a good routine my goal is to get my eating healthy. I am not a horrible eater - rarely eat fast food or junk food - my problem is portion control. So trying to weigh and measure out portions right now. Made me sad when I saw what an actual 4 ounces of wine looked like!

I'm with you on the wine portion size sadness! I give up a bread portion during the day and "save it" for an extra glass of wine. I mean, who can have just one four oz glass of wine?!

Tossed all the Easter candy that was leftover and so glad I did. Everytime I find myself wandering to the fridge I just fill my water glass and leave. Sounds like everyone is doing great, stay focused and keep in touch here.

The Easter bunny (mom) did not send any treats this year, and I stayed away too, oh jelly beans how I binge thee. Great job on tossing it all out and not digging it back out.

I did 1.57 miles of walking with bursts of running, it's hot out there at 1pm (when my lunch break is) with the full sun, so I may switch to walking after work (though it's overcast today). I need to find someplace to walk, the area I live in (even my apartment complex) has no sidewalks.

Checking in for week one...off to a pretty slow start. Getting over a really bad sinus infection and chest cold. Spent all Easter in bed Not fun. Just got a Jawbone UP and getting more steps every day.

Day 3, I did good staying under my 1250 calories goal for the day ...but was too tired and stressed at the end of the day to hit the treadmill. I really wish I would have just forced myself to do it, I need to work on that!
Today I'm super busy again, but feeling motivated, just have to squeeze in some exercise at some point!!

Hope you are all doing great today

Hi All... I went over my calorie goal last night! I'm not too worried about it tho. I'm still trying to get a handle on portion control. Got my workout in this morning, fixed my fitbit last night (I had to reset it!) and this may sound crazy but I feel a bit smaller! WooHoo!

I don't have too much to lose so I know its going to be harder for me.... I need to get some heavy weight lifting in... just trying to figure out if I want to do it at home or the gym. I'm leaning more towards home since I'm finally used to getting up at 5:15 am. Its just so much easier (for me anyway) to go down to my basement and workout.

I did pretty good food wise yesterday (Tuesday), but didn't exercise. Today was a travel day for a funeral, and so there was no exercise. I knew that I would binge and didn't log anything that I ate at the funeral itself. I stopped and got fast food for dinner, once I got back to town, because I was in no mood to go home to figure out dinner. I was emotionally drained, as well as tired.

I know exactly how you feel. My uncle died and I was at the funeral home all day Monday and Tuesday and felt the same way. I'm still emotionally drained.

I wish I could workout today. So sore and need a rest day. Discouraged because I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing but am not seeing the results that I thought I'd see. This is only week two since I started back on MFP. I just thought that the first two weeks would show more progress, since most of the loss should be from water weight. Oh well. I shouldn't obsess so much (sigh). Not giving up. It's too early in the game for that!

Please don't get discouraged. I didn't start out with a bang either. Lots of people lose a bunch right away, but not me. My weight loss has been quite slow, but I have seen some progress. I've lost around 10 pounds in 2.5 months. That's not quite 1 pound a week, but at least scale is going in the right direction! Hang in there groovigyrl!

Thanks so much for the encouragement RaeBeeBaby! Congrats on your weightloss! That is awesome! Slow and steady wins the race. LOL. Today, I added a new morning drink to my diet and I'm hoping it will help. 10 oz of water, 1 tb lemon, 1 tb organic honey, 2 tb apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Boost it up baby!! Finished my workout and am ready to continue on with my day! Everyone have a great day!

Good day so far today. I did just a 10 minute Tabata workout so far, but Whew! 10 minutes of intensity! Planning on at least 20-30 more minutes of cardio of some type today.

Everybody is doing great! Keep it up friends!

A pretty good day today! Think I went a tiny bit over my calorie limit but spent the day climbing about in trees with friends and then did a HIT workout this evening ... All healthy food and all tracked so hope not too bad! Keep going all

Thanks for all the motivating comments!

Totally forgot that I signed up for this lol, but I do log my daily weigh in and all my food. I have MFP linked to my Fitbit and aim for a minimum of 15,000 steps a day. So far I have lost 17 lbs in the last 6 weeks.

Hi All! It seems like people here are all motivated and doing their best. I am still keeping my portions under control. It is not how I would like to eat though as I am lacking meat and veggies these past few days. I am really craving breads so I am always fitting them in my calorie limit. I am taking it slow for now so I am giving in to my craving as long as it is still under my calorie goal. I find that if I don't, I binge after a while. I am eating less and less of them though so I would be able to fit enough meat and veggies next time.

With regards to exercise, I downloaded an app with 7-minute workout. I am fatigued these days because I am too busy with my work more than usual and my TOM even started. I figured I can squeeze in even few minutes of workout if I can't do a full one for the mean time.
