    Do we have a name yet? How does that work? I am new to this. How do we find the group that is created to check in?:embarassed: I'm a little slow.. lol. Did elliptical for 25 min. Stayed under my calories... still no loss. Will be doing better with the weekly weigh-in's. That way I don't torture myself every morning. My clothes are feeling looser though. Having trouble drinking all the water... why is that so hard?:drinker:

    ok... I had a craving for something sweet last night. I had a slice ~ one serving of angel food cake with strawberry's rubbed with splenda and 2 tbs of whip cream from the can. It was Yummy and I think it was about 170 calories. Got me through the night.

    Today worked on legs in the gym

    squats - 95 # weight (including bar) 3 sets 15

    Lunges - 1 sets of 15 each leg forward, 1 set each leg backward and 1 set 15 back and forward

    Calf raises sitting - 35 # each side. 2 sets of 15 1 set of 12

    Step up with 10 # weight each hand. 12 " step. 18 , 15, 12 each leg (OUCH!)

    Incline set ups - 3 sets of 20 (Ouch... Ouch.....)

    These are the excersises our anytime fitness owner gave me to do once a week. I have two other workouts for arms. Share them later

    I am doing weights 3 days a week and Cardio 2-3 days a week. Elliptical 25 min

    Still not loosing yet... doing good on calories I think. I'm really really tired though:yawn:

    I would like to join, makes it two guys now.
    I like the Monday check in, makes you accountable for the weekend (my biggest challenge), and I'm going to do my one/week weigh in on Monday morning, too.
    Sorry this is my first post here or anywhere (except on Facebook) so not sure if I'm doing this right.

    A name? I don't know about sticking out in the forum, but how about Visualize This!!!

    I like Visualize This...let's all check in on Monday...I guess start a new thread...who has the most experience here and can keep things rolling...let's set a goal of one month

    That would be great...that's why I went into nursing...computers I try to stay away from...can you let me know when you do that, so I am not left behind

    How's everyone doing? I have been holding steady. I did 3 bouts of exercise yesterday so I could enjoy some pizza with my family. It allowed me to stay within my daily allowance. It was delicious. I am feeling the soreness today.

    I have to go to the grocery store today and reload on the fruits and veggies. I find that eating healthy is time consuming. Last time I went, I made a conscious decision not to buy any more chips. I buy them for the kids to munch on during the weekend. Guess who's hand is in the bag...yep, it's mine.

    I would like to pose a question for the week:

    What food do you miss the most and how do you compensate?

    I love hot wings

    To compensate, I fill a La Torilla Soft Wrap made with Olive Oil (very good and 12 grams of fiber) with 1 cup roasted chicken, 1 to 2 cups lettuce, 1 roma tomato, 1/4 cup low-fat cheese and 1/2 T of buffalo wing sauce and 1/2 T of Ranch.

    That's 2 servings of veggies and lots of fiber with my delicious hot-wing flavor

    Have a great day!! Keep moving!!

    Is it too late to jump in with you all?

    I am a mom of 4, I work full time and go to school full time. I am almost done with my bachelor's degree, last night of class is December 10th! YIPPEE! Then early next year I will be going into the masters program.

    I started mfp May 2008 and lost 8 lbs. Not sure why I stopped, but since then have gained 20 :(

    I tried in the last month to do the eating something small every few hours to help boost my metabolism....yeah did not work I gained 10 lbs. Went to the doctor and she said to go back to eating my breakfast / lunch / dinner. I usually don't snack.

    I have been doing the Wii EA Sports fitness 4 - 5 times per week and throwing the gym in here and there for the treadmill.

    I just feel lost and want to loose weight before May 1, 2010 for my graduation!

    Hi,

    I'd like to join too. This is my first week on the site so I'm still getting used to everything. Like the Monday weigh ins too.

    This first few days has been rough. It's hard to get into a habit of eating right and exercising and I'm still trying to figure out what works for me. Had to deal with an office birthday party and a junk-food craving husband, but think I did okay.

    Now need to work on finding more time to exercise.

    Thanks,

    Amy

    I'd like support because I can't seem to lose a pound. I am now exercizing 5 to 6 days a week. where before I didnt exercize at all. I have replaced two meals a day with protein whey powder. I eat or drink (whey) five times a day and it is almost always healthy. for a regular meal, I will have skinless chicken breast, salad (with no dressing) made of mainly baby spinich, cucumbers and chicken as a typical dinner. I have either green tea, or decaf coffee (black). I never have sugared drinks. I either drink water or crystal light. I may treat myself to a 25 cal hot choc with a couple of tabespoons of fat free whipped cream. Maybe I'll have a 100 cal wheat english mufffin and sugar free polaner jam. I eat fiber one cereal and 1% milk or kelloggs weighjt reduction cereals for breakfast. I also at least four times a week so the 3 mile walk found on exercise TV. AND YET, I have not lost a pound in three weeks. I am not overeating or undreating. I am exercizing. I eat virtually no fast food or processed foods. I homemake just about everything we eat from wheat breads to soups. We have no junk food in our house. We make fresh fruit smoothies for dessert on occasion. ND YET, I am not losing any weight.

    I am 159 pounds and 47 years old. I am 5'8 inches tall. My ideal weight has always been around 135-140. This extra 20 pounds is tiring and bulgy. I want it off and can't seem to get it off.

    Please help with suggestions. I am frustrated and lately I walk into the YMCA wondering what's the point. I don't want to give up but it is getting hard to stay motivated.

    I would love to be in a group. Perhaps there could be one for like People who have just started in october, who will be hitting some of the same week marks as weeks go by. Let me know what you think!
