Hi there again--

Sorry! ok now I realize I am in the chat, I'm new to this so I didn't get that at first, so disregard my previous post. My name is Joanna and I am a college student in Illinois. I have been on and off with weight loss and am looking to finally end my battle with weight loss and start a new lifestyle. In the past I have always "been good" for a few days and then loose it. Today would be one of those lost days But since I saw this challenge I am ready to conquer it!! I am training for a marathon, so there will be lots of cardio on my end, but I think thats key to loosing pounds. Sorry for the long paragraph, I just wanted to introduce myself becasue we'll be getting to know one another in the next 6 weeks!!! I know we can ALL do this And wow, Sydnee!! That is soooo cool, I have always dreamed of visiting Australia

im so excited to be starting this with you all exercise is guna be my hardest challenge but I'll do my best, hope you all have a good day today, remember, you can do this! xxx

Hello Everyone.

i am excited about this group! My feel good challenge for today -- well it's been a day of relaxation for me. I had oral surgery this morning (two back molars removed) and am feeling comfortable right now on some painkillers. However, I did find a new love for JELLO -- who knew that sugar free jello tasted so good! I think I have a found a new dessert for the summer

I joined MFP back in April, logged in for two days and then completely forgot about it. I "rejoined" or shall I saw recommitted a week ago today and have posted every day. I am eating healthy, walking my sisters dog (my house guest for two weeks) about four or five times a day and doing a 5 minute ab challenge on the iphone app every night. I feel great and lost two pounds already!

I am a little nervous though because in two weeks I will be in Romania on a Habitat for Humanity build that I do every summer. Although I will be working hard all day hammering and doing all difficult tasks of building a house, I can't really control the food that we eat there. They have lots of cucumbers and tomatoes which are so fresh and I love them, but they also have a lot of goulash and other stuff. And I can't always get on the internet every day. I will keep my log by journal with the old fashion pen and pencil, but am nervous I will lose the momentum I am gaining now.

That's my story! Good luck everyone!!!

That has always been one of my main issues too! I am always great...for a week. Then I reward myself with food. :frown: But now, there are no more excuses! I have every tool at my disposal. I want to get this done in 6 weeks because my birthday is in November. My goal weight is 125, and that's 52 pounds to lose. If i can finish the 20 in 6, then I can do 40 by November! I am too young to have the weight issues and health problems that I do. But I am tired of complaining, so now its time to do something about it! :bigsmile:

Well Good Morning Ladies!

My feel good thing today is doing my nails tonight (the varnish on them at the moment is all chipped and I am not impressed with it).
Then I may treat myself to a glass of wine with a close friend!
Have a lovely day!

Hi from the UK.

Yesterday (Thursday) I went to the gym did 30mins on treadmill on incline and then went crazy on the WII Zumba and Just Dance 2, gosh I was really working hard, actually harder than in the gym, sometimes I just get a bit bored and feel like a hamster, think I need to do something a bit different.

My feel something nice was going upstairs and had cuddle and tickle time with my son he's 5 and his laugh is so loud and funny.

Today, I will walk to town during lunch for exercise and feel good i'll buy something could be a new lipstick or nail polish, lets see what takes my fancy.

Have a great day everybody.

well today my goals are: to find my wii remote n do Zumba, and to treat myself by buying a magazine for myself, happy Friday everybody xxx

Good morning!!

Today has been great so far, I ran 3 miles and I'm going to a Niyama Hot Yoga class! I.5 hours of sweating my mind out My something special for today will be reading a book I've been wanting to start! Be strong ladies this is day two!

Hi Everyone,

My feel good moment of today -- I bought myself a magic bullet finally! It was part necessity (had oral surgery yesterday and not eating solid foods yet) and also a craving of mine -- I love making healthy smoothies at home because you can control what goes into it. I made myself a yummy strawberry/blueberry fresh fruit smoothie with a bit of activia strawberry yogurt. It was tasty!

Hope you are all doing well! Katie -- hang in there! If we didnt have a couple of road blocks along the way, we wouldnt appreciate all the straight roads when we're on them!

Happy weekend everyone!
