I am in..went lake ice skating today for over an hour and torched 450 cals...too bad I can’t do that everyday...job and life in the way. At any rate, I am in for committing to walking at least five days or 15 miles/week and peloton three days/week for a minimum of 20 minutes. I am coming off knee surgery so still going a…

I have created the group as winter to summer challenge and made it public...for now...sent out invites to everyone I saw as of yesterday so will add those chiming in now. So far, only four members accepted invites....please look in your box from MFP mail and join the group before I make it private end of today. Is everyone…

I will add you to group!

Hi everyone! So I started a private group that will be our meeting place/thread. (mfpchris thanks!) Now I have to figure out how to get everyone on that site...so anyone that can help would be great?! I may have made it through advanced education (medicine) but I have no technological savvy!!! Do I invite folks…

Always room for more. I will officially close the challenge on Wednesday to give time for others and those already chiming in with interest to decide if they are wanting to commit here or elsewhere. I generally think about ten is good based on my experience with doing this previously and folks do often show up at first…

Hi All and Merry Christmas to everyone!!! For me, it's Chrismakkah (I celebrate Chanukkah, hubby does Christmas) which means I get to celebrate TWICE (or nine times if you include each night of Chanukkah...!) We had a wonderful and unfortunately non MFP-approved meal last evening at a local French bistro. Another reason…

Great! Let me gather a few others and get this started...how much do you want to try and lose?

I have gained 9 pounds....I am back and committed. It is alot easier to lose ten than 30 and I already know/have the tools just need to use them!

I am feeling SO MUCH BETTER! Doc says I can introduce low fiber foods slowly - anything better than liquid diet though Sticking with lean proteins and seem to crave sweet potatoes (baked simply and until soft) and roasted vegetables (nothing raw like salads for a few more weeks) Went back to yoga yesterday and trying to…

I recently switched to Califia (sp?) vanilla almond milk creamer - not the milk but actually a creamer version so more like cream. It sweetens my coffee and adds some richness to the taste (black coffee makes my stomach turn) and only like 15 cals. Plus its all natural so better for you than the ones that are fat free but…

I am in. what is the challenge? (Am hoping to lose 8 in 8 before I head to holiday for my late June birthday)

Hoping to lose 15 in 15 weeks with logging and all the general mindfulness (food, exercise, water) that goes into consistency here for me on MFP. I will add in SW on Monday - am just at tail end of a diverticulitis flareup and still largely liquid diet (miserable and not my plan for weight loss btw) and begin adding in…

I am interested! I am a hot yoga fan but also do vinyasa style, yoga sculpt (with weights) and more alignment based practices. I have been practicing for almost 30 years ... started my own business last summer and my daily practice is now a weekly one (sigh). This would be a great way to get back on board...especially with…

I am in! I am heading to Southeast Asia in late June where it is hot and humid and I want my clothes to fit loosely so I am not a sweaty mess as we explore new horizons. I am also just plain overweight and have been putting March 1 as my start date down for a month. I want to lose 25 pounds by birthday: summer solstice 6/22
