  • Good morning team! Ran across this very inspirational quote! & it's so true. All you gotta do is take it one day at a time. Don't think about how long it's going to take you. If you focus on the present, then the future will take care of itself!
  • Also! I forgot to add, I have an Non Scale Victory for today!! Several ladies at work have noticed I have been losing weight! They told me I'm looking really good and to keep at it. One of the girls asked me what I have been doing to lose the weight. I told them logging food on MFP & exercising! This is apparently one of…
  • Here is my check in post for the night. Stayed under my calories with exercise. Exercised for 42 minutes on the treadmill. Did 7 of those minutes during my lunch hour!! I am trying to walk a little bit on my break because it helps me get towards my total steps goal. & I am sure a mid day walk is a great boost for…

  • My goal for this challenge is to lose 10 pounds! With each other's support, we can do this1 :) I love your idea of an inspiration board! The only way I can make it through walking on the treadmill is watching tv shows on my phone / tablet. It takes my mind to another place and sure helps the time pass by! Also, in my…
  • Woohoo! Great job with getting past the "I dont want to do it" phase! That is one of my struggles as well! I pushed myself farther on the treadmill and exercised for an hour instead of just 30 minutes! I was actually a bit sore when I got off which makes me know that it's working :) I did 9,200 steps today! Surpassed my…
  • I have some ideas! 1. Water Drink half your body weight (pounds changes to ounces) in water daily. 2. Share your journey. Let's really get to know one another.. maybe we can talk about where our weight became a problem and how we have realized that we needed to change. Digging down deep and working on the mental side can…
  • This image is soooo true :tongue:
  • Hey team! Hope everyone is doing well! My last couple of days have not been so great with eating.. But I plan to turn that around and get back to it.. I was in a different Bigger Loser challenge that ended a couple of weeks ago and was able to lose 20 pounds (it was a 10 week challenge). A big part of me losing that weight…

  • There will always be times we fall off the wagon but the most important thing is to never give up! Don't dwell on the past and focus what you can do in the present! Take it one day at a time. Just imagine how much more you will thank yourself in the future knowing that you stuck with it! You can do it girl! :smile:
  • Going to Savannah, Georgia at the end of May! I would love to try to be under 300 pound before I have to go on that trip!
  • Hey team!! I am so excited about this challenge! I have enjoyed reading about everyone so far! A little bit about me... My name is Stephanie, 28 years old and live in North Carolina. I work as a bank teller, so my job is not a very active one! I have struggled with my weight for my entire life, ever since the 4th or 5th…

  • North Carolina here... It hasn't started snowing til this morning around 2 am and we were already out of bread and milk in the grocery stores on Wednesday. But we are expected to get anywhere around 13 - 18 inches... so I guess it's a good thing to try to be prepared.

  • I slacked the first couple weeks of January, but I am trying to work hard at making up for it. Goal: 50 miles 01/05/16 TREADMILL 60min 2.3 miles 01/06/16 TREADMILL 51min 2.05 miles 01/09/16 TREADMILL 62 min 2.5 miles Total miles: 6.85 Miles to go: 43.15
  • I am totally in! Walking is my main exercise and hopefully this will motivate me to stick with it more regularly. My goal for January will be to walk 50 miles. It's a *little* bit of a stretch for me, but I think it will be a good push that I need. Good luck to everyone on this journey :)
  • Me: 14 LNS: 5* Streak: 0 Day: # 19 A friend invited me over to his house late a couple of nights this week.. and I didn't eat dinner til then. Still, there should be no excuse for me to be eating that late.
  • Me : 12* LNS: 1 Streak : 8 Day :#13 Even though I haven't been doing any late night snacking, these past four days, I have not been eating well at all. I can really tell a difference in my mood and energy levels from going from one extreme of eating to the other. I'm not going to try and dwell on it and just do better this…
