I'm finally back on track in a solid way, day 5 of 30 day challenge. I'll be keeping it up and have decided that weighing myself needs to be every couple of months. I'm looking for NSV anyway, and the only thing that has deterred me at all was weighing myself and so I'll not be doing so for the time being.

Sounds good to me. Let me know what's needed.

I love using Avocados in my chicken salad... along with celery, onion (or jicama) and peppers, and dried cranberries and hemp hearts... *slowly eating my stupid celery....*

Well, it took me a week, but I got a good jaunt of exercise in today. I weighed myself last week and I had apparently gained... it threw me RIGHT OFF... I barely kept to my calories for a few days, gave up on exercising and couldn't find my "mojo" but today, I bit the proverbial bullet and I went to the dog park with my…

Well... this week hasn't been a complete washup, but gaining that weight really put me in a weird place... I'm struggling to get all my veggies and water in, neither of which I had trouble with until I weighed myself this week... I felt myself slipping into a vat of gravy, but stopped when just my toes got yummy.... so…

PMS is NOT my friend... i MUST attribute it to said, otherwise, I just gained 10 lbs... I could cry. I've done so well, and was totally on point. I think I have only gone over my calories perhaps once or twice in the past 3 months... which is breaking my heart. *sigh* so... thanks to a heavy dose of PMS, I ate my kitchen…

Darn good question that I wonder myself

I'm a tad older and... a tad (tad is subjective) but we are close :) 5'4" st 288 cw 270 gw - 1??? Hmmm, perhaps i am way off here. *sigh*

@hgtedo I got the ab challenge here: http://www.blogilates.com/blog/2014/12/29/30-day-flat-abs-challenge/ and the Squat challenge is actually from MFP blogs. it's the 28 day squat challenge. I'm really working on being healthy, and just making good choices... I love that MFP will remind me of things, like yesterday when it…

Funny that, I don't either. That said, I find that my reg pics get skipped for the most part :) Just started following you. Looking forward to seeing more of you... *wow, that sounds so wrong.. but I mean.... dammit... nevermind... *blush* moving on!

I didn't have a challenge yesterday, can I still have one? (i'll assume I can and put it here, and if I shouldn't, please let me know and I'll remove) today's challenge to do the ab workout BEFORE i'm ready to sleep reach 10,000 steps do 1 hour cardio keep my sugar and carbs in check let's see how I do

Well, I didn't weigh myself... but, it turns out that I need to wait till next week anyway (i won't weigh myself more than once a month, or I'll obsess over it). That said, I was pretty healthy yesterday, was under my calories, but WAY over my sugar... I gotta work on that, it's summer, there are TONNES of fruits in…

Today is a new day... I am meeting a friend to go to the gym tonight and may watch a movie at home. Yesterday after eating WAY too much cheese, I felt yucky, so I went for an hour long walk (after I had already done 40 min cardio earlier) so I feel I'm doing pretty well this week so far. I think I'm weighing myself…

I'm currently adding a challenge each month to my original summer challenge of eating healthy, tracking my food and exercising like a boss.... I now exercise 30-45 min daily, this month I have added the squat challenge and the abs challenge and next month I'll be lowering my calorie intake from 1850 to 1600. I'm hoping to…

Hey everyone! So the June challenge to exercise every day paid off and I did so, but then the new month was looming and I didn't know what to do! So I perused all sorts of challenges, and found a couple that seemed DO-able. I started the 30 day ab challenge and it turns out I cannot do an actual sit up!( so I changed it to…

Thanks so much @hgtedo really appreciate the encouragement! I just wanted to share an awesome with all ya'll. So, with my scale aversion, sometimes it is difficult for me to see the differences. I've been taking pictures in the same bra and underwear (except once on the underwear cuz I couldn't find the right ones) in…

My struggle today is keeping confident that another 30 day challenge is possible. I did the 30-45 min per day exercise in June, but July is 30 day ab challenge (i really want to look DIFFERENT on pride weekend (our pride is august 2) and though my partner and child SUPPORT me, I'm on my own for doing the work....

I go through such stress when it comes to actually GETTING ON the scale! UGH. I need to weigh myself int he next week and though i KNOW it won't be bad (i'm doing really well at following my plan (less calories in, more exercise OUT) and have been challenging myself to make healthy changes, i still get anxious about it...…

I'm really struggling with keeping my sugar and carbs in check. I am almost never over my calories, but I am almost ALWAYS over on carbs and sugar.... and it's not even from junk, i LOVE fruit... and that kills me. Any suggestions? I can't just eat vegetables... but the goal is killing me and discouraging me.

Ok, well, I'm shorter *grins* but the rest is pretty close... we could motivate each other :)

In the fairly recent past, I have struggled when spending time with my significant other. We live 2 hours apart and so on weekends when we are together, it is a little bit harder for me to get my exercise in because we want to spend our time together, but she isn't really fond of exercising. Whereas she encourages me to do…

Awesome job @fearthisfish42 !! You are an inspiration for sure! I've just started the C25K app on my phone, got the new runners, and today is day 2 :) Have a great week!

Hi acstl... I find that when I am bored, or stressed, I reach for the fridge door. So to counter this, I have developed 3 rules... 1) distract myself with a quick 15 minute exercise (not always that much time, but if I have it, I'll use it all) or: 2) Keep bags and bags of celery on hand. I'm not a fan of the stuff, but it…

I try to get to the gym 3-5 days per week, however, that is proving to be a pain in the butt. I have been walking 30 minutes every day, and either I go to the gym or I do a workout dvd at home. Mostly I do the les mills body combat or zumba, though I find that youtube has so many workouts, I seldom do the same one twice.…

I'm struggling with boredom. When I'm bored, I eat. I have tried hard to only eat healthy foods at that time, and I have discovered a real dislike for celery... re: coke zero - I was all about the diet soda, preferably dr. pepper or coke zero... in 2015 I decided to give up two unhealthy things, diet soda and facebook. I'm…

Well, I'm doing pretty well, though I feel very alone sometimes. My partner is doing a bit of exercising currently which is GREAT, but we live separately, which amounts to me being on my own. That said.... I have been sticking to my goal of exercising every day. I have only gone over my calories once since I started my…

That's AWESOME! congrats! What part of the states?

Thanks @schneizilla! Appreciate the sentiment. She lives in Washington State, so we get to spend every weekend together, which is and isn't good. It's great because long distance relationships are hard enough at 2 hours apart, I can't imagine trying to pull this off with further distance ever again (did so in the past).…

*blush* and yes... I am aware that I talk too much.
