Thank you for setting up this challenge. In 2015, I lost 70 pounds. In 2016, I gained about half of those calories back. So, I need to begin again. Happy New Year and continued success to all! Starting weight: 230 lb Goal weight: 135 lb Current weight: 192 lb Total weight lost: 0 lb This week's successes: joining this…

Fantastic! You're an inspiration. I am still trying to complete a normal burpee. I can only modify. You have just offered me a little hope. Congratulations on your accomplishment!

Fitness bands are great. I take them with me when I travel. If you want a set with door attachments, you may wish to visit a site such as Amazon.com, put "fitness bands" in the search box, and read the various reviews. They have sets available from $20 - $30. If memory serves me correctly, I purchased my band sets from…

It happens to me, on occasion. Not sure why it happens. I just go into the Fitbit app and delete the one of the double posted entries. Then all is well.

Great job! Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Hi! I did not participate in April. I had already joined in with another group prior to seeing this (for lack of a better description) challenge. I had hoped to lose at least 6 pounds in April, but found myself on a plateau from April 1 - April 16. However, I did manage to lose 3.5 pounds. I am happy with that. It was not…

Two days ago, while I standing at standing at a bus stop, a young (late 20"s to early 30's), handsome, and fit man came over and sat on the bench behind me. We were awaiting the same bus. After a few minutes, the young man said: "Excuse me. I don't mean to be rude or anything. I just wanted to say that you still have "it".…

Although I have not reached my weight loss goal (I'm only a 1/3 of the way there), my progress and efforts inspire others (even those who I think of as fit). Two nights ago, my husband and I went out with such a couple. At the completion of the meal, I was just happy that I had a delicious dinner and dessert, controlled my…

Well said! Ditto. Actually, these all are wonderful. Thanks everyone!

Congratulations!

So true! Thanks! Still hard, but easier. Certainly worth the effort!

Hi. We have a few things in common: 1) 1 have been a member of MFP since 2011; 2) I have been on my current weight loss journey since the beginning of the year; and 3) I am a Fitbit Charge HR owner. I love my Fitbit! I love MFP! It, like MFP, is a tool to aid us in reaching our health and weight loss goals. What we get out…

Congratulations!

I am so sorry that you had that experience. No matter what your relationship is like with your in-law, a statement like that hurts. If it happens again (or if it's still really bothering you after a few days), you should very calmly and politely let her know how hurtful her words are to you. Then, if you'd like, tell her…

Congratulations! You've done well, thus far. You can definitely make to your goal! Feel free to add me.

I have found (for me) that logging my food via MFP and logging my exercise via FitBit (or allowing my Fitbit to log my exercise) provides a better total overall reflection of calories burned and calories consumed for the day. It appears that MFP and Fitbit track and calculate calories burned a little differently. And yes,…

You guys are awesome! Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us all.

You are on the right track! You can do this! It is difficult at times, but doable. You are worth it. Much success to you.

Bravo! Thanks for being such a good example to us all. Continued success.

Looking good! I hope that you are feeling good, also! Keep up the great work!

Ditto on the sentiments expressed above and bravo!
