One thing I will cut out this week is BREAD. :sad: I love it.
I WILL add the fifteen minutes. Probably on my stationary bike.
The reason I am on MFP is I had decided to start counting calories. When I went to the internet to look for the calories for the foods I was eating for breakfast, I came across this sight. After checking it out I decided that MFP would be the way to go. I needed to track calories as I am Hypothyroid and the weight had been just TOO DARN HIGH. Plus being unhealthy. I'm so glad I found this sight. Everyone on here is so encouraging.

I didn't post a recipe as I couldn't find one that I felt was nice enough to share. Especially as I really don't like to cook anymore. (Kids gone husband fussy.) There you have it. Oh I did increase my water and will keep that up.

Cut out Bread and will keep that up. Feel much better without it. Is difficult for me as I love bread.
I didn;t add the minutes as I am fighting fatigue right now. Will try to go for it this week.
Posted reason why I'm on here. (See above)

Alot of swelling this week ( had knee surgery in November ). Not freaking out because I know I didn't gain 2 lbs in fat this week. I worked out for over an hour five days this week and never went over on calories so i know it's from swelling and water.

Wed 05/30/12 10:47 AM

My start weight was 217.2 early Tuesday morning.



Not sure why my start weight is different on the spreadsheet. After searching the old thread, I found my original entry above.

SW: 217.2
W1: 214.8
W2: 214.8
CW: 214.6
GW: 199.0

Challenges met: Increase fruits and veggies - I tried several different melons I have never had before. One tasted more like a cucumber. Not sure if it just wasn't ripe enough yet. Love my asparagus - great excuse to eat more of that!!!
Add 15 minutes extra of exercise - went to the amusement park 2x with the kids this week - enough said! :happy: I am still trying to add the extra water from a few weeks ago as an ongoing challenge for myself - very difficult.

189.2 current weight
down 1.1 this week

Weighing in at 185....again. I'm really disappointed. I worked out so hard and didn't go over my calories even one day. I am really hoping I am just retaining water because yesterday I weighed 182.8.

Hoping for a better next week!

Hi all, I know I'm a little late to the game, but hope it's alright if I join this challenge with you now. I really want to refocus on my health and recommit to making good decisions for my body. When I get tired or stressed or bored, my eating habits go all over the place and I stop working out. I'll do my first weigh in tomorrow morning. I'm a little nervous because I've been making poor choices for myself recently, but I want to see what the scale says because it is an easy way for me to keep myself accountable and track progress, even if it isn't a perfect measure of fat lost. My goal in general is to be more toned all over. I think there's no reason not to be in my best shape and I want to commit to getting there. I'll add weight goals tomorrow, after my weigh in.
Goals for this week:
go to at least 3 barre classes
cardio at least 5 days
not eat late at night

Hope everybody's feeling energized and optimistic,
Em

Hello. Last week was not great for me but I did increase my cardio by more than half. I'm now weighing in at 172.2! Minor loss but that's okay

Love this week's challenge!

It is so exciting to see the weight changes on the spreadsheet from this group!!! And we are doing it in a healthy way too!!! Keep up the great work everyone!!
