I've been gaining and losing the same 5lbs for the past 2-3 months so I need this accountability! Decided that I was restarting/recommiting as of July 1 so this is good timing. My goal for July is to get to one-derland and I want to lose 100lbs total by the end of the year.8 -

A few years ago it took me 6 months to lose 15 lbs after constant exercise and watching what I eat so I'm not sure if I can reach my goal weight by the end of December but I would be ecstatic to weigh 130.
I have a desk job so I am trying to develop the habit of walking during lunch, even if it's only 15 minutes. Also, I am attempting to start counting calories again. Here's to adding more exercise to our lives!3 -
Good to see lots of new participants. Psyching myself up for a fresh start on Thursday!3

I would start with logging your food and your exercise. After a couple of weeks, you can start fine tuning your approach to something that works for you.2 -
Alteredsteve, your challenge sounds doable and tracks with my goals, so I'm in!

August 1st I'll start with regular treadmill work. Until then, I'll be sticking to 1500 caloric intake and the exercise I get in the course of a normal day.1 -
Exercise: This time of year I have daily walks outside (definitely hiking with rocks, loose decomposed granite, the "fear factor" of coyotes, snakes, that pickup coming over my favorite incline just as I'm going up). I live in the desert on a dirt road. There is a 40 acres square that gives me a combination of rolling hills, one steep incline (which I really love), another gradual incline and a stretch of flat. It's roughly one mile and I usually make it 3 times around before my hips and my knees starts complaining. I average around 80 minutes. I take one day a week off but I don’t plan for it just in case I don't feel well and I have to miss that day. If nothing stops me then the seventh day is my rest day. My favorite time to exercise is in the mornings.3

My husband started Medifast last October and I was so impressed with his change in blood panels at the doctor that when I got the "pre-diabetic" diagnosis, I jumped on board. I am not crazy about the packaged meals, but the lean and green meal each night has really forced me to learn portion sizes and what a healthy meal consists of (hint not dessert with a bottle of wine). Accountability will help me stay focused!4 -
Hi, everyone!

I am on day 19 of Jillian's 30-day shred. It will take me longer than 30 days to complete the program because I plan to take my time and be ready to advance to the next "level." I have to modify some moves because of bad knees and weak shoulders. Since each level is more difficult than the one before it, I have decided to take it easy and advance when I feel ready. I've done this workout before with amazing results, so I'm really hopeful.
However, just like any exercise program, it won't work unless I curb calories, which I'm doing. I haven't gone over 1,200 calories in a couple of weeks, which is pretty darn good for me. :-)
I have a short-term goal of wanting to get in a pair of jeans that is currently two sizes too small by October.
Good to be with you all!4 -

Hi Everyone! I have 16 pounds to lose until my goal weight. I think that I’ll be able to get there by December. Maybe sooner? Who knows. I’m just gonna take it slow and easy. I’ve been doing this for 4 years and have lost 89 pounds. Of course it hasn’t all been a downward curve - it’s been a down/up thing. And, now I finally feel that I have what it takes to reach my goal weight. I never imagined that I’d be in the 160’s again. And, the 150’s are so close now.
For workouts, I prefer cardio - running, walking, biking, hiking, kick scooter, treadmill, elliptical. Sometimes I dabble in yoga and strength training. Ok, I’ve been trying really hard to motivate myself to do more yoga and strength training. But, it’s not working. So, I’m just going to leave it for now and not push myself - because it’s just making me feel bad.

I am wondering if I could do this or Nutrisystem maybe 3 x wk. Do simple meal for 3 like lean protein, veg, etc. for 3 and maybe one night out meal.1 -
Is Medifast or Nutrisystem or any better than the other in terms of just a few nights a week. Which is most palatable?0

Got my cardio done!
Hope everyone else had a good week!1 -

For me personally, I can't be on their plan three days and then off three days and continue to lose weight. I am moving into the 3 and 2 plan though where I have 3 Medifast meals and then 2 lean and green I make myself so basically lunch and dinner I make myself but the other meals I eat a bar or one of their meals.1
