Feeling a little more optimistic today seeing the numbers go down instead of up. Day, Weight, Comment 3/13 - 313.2 3/14 -314 3/15 -312 3/16 - 3/17 - 3/18 - 3/19 - 3/20 - 3/21 - 3/22 -

This is why I get frustrated. A great day yesterday, ate healthy, made it to aqua fit and walked my 7,000 steps - yet I gained a pound. Trying not to let it derail me and staying positive for a better number tomorrow. Day, Weight, Comment 3/13 - 313.2 3/14 - 314.2 3/15 - 3/16 - 3/17 - 3/18 - 3/19 - 3/20 - 3/21 - 3/22 -

Ok, so this is the first day of round one for me and I am feeling hopeful. I resisted the urge to hit the McDonald's drive thru this morning after driving my husband to work (my normal routine lately). Instead I came home and made a healthy breakfast with some turkey bacon, oatmeal and grapefruit. One challenge at a time!…

I am a newbie and excited to this give this a try and see if it motivates me. I have stopped and started so many times. I always start very motivated and after a week fall back into my old habits. Maybe only focusing on 10 day increments is what I need. SW RND 217 3/13 3/14 3/15 3/16 3/17 3/18 3/19 3/20 3/21 3/22

weight in day : Wednesday PW - 308 CW - 310 A rough few days. I have allowed life to overwhelm me and I got distracted and lost motivation. I had lunch with a good friend today who helped me get my motivation back. She reminded me of how much I do for everyone around me but how important it is to make time to do for…

I keep telling myself that I need to do that. My scale is moving slowly but I can feel the difference in my body and the way my clothes fit me and I think seeing the numbers change will be motivating. I am pledging now that on Wednesday when I do my official weigh in - I will also take measurements. I like this idea!

Good job team!!! I've been struggling the last few days to stay motivated. This always happens to me after the first few weeks. I know I need to push through it and stay focused. On a positive note I have noticed my step count is getting higher every day. I used to struggle just to get 6,000 steps / day and now I am always…

I was feeling guilty this morning for not going to my aquafit class (snowy roads) but I think I probably got a better workout shoveling my driveway. Uhgg … winter!

How can we see spreadsheet for step count?

Today at work someone noticed the weight that I have lost. It was a great NSV moment and nice to hear that my hard work is showing. Definitely a motivator to keep going.

Great!!! Count me in

I would love to be part of this. Right now I try to aim for 6,000 steps per day but as my knees get stronger I hope to increase that. How exactly does it work - do we just post on here at the end of each week with our step for each day?

So far the first few days of January have gone well - and I have mostly kept to healthy food choices. I have found myself still giving in to cravings and falling back to some of my old bad habits but each day it feels easier. I am starting to realize that I need to occasionally allow myself to indulge in a small treat like…

Hi everyone, I’m Cheryl. I’m 50 and from Ontario, Canada (near Toronto). I have used MFP before but have never been part of this type of challenge. I’m excited about it and hope it keeps me motivated. I am at the highest weight I have ever been (315lb) and know that I need to do something. I have severe osteoarthritis in…

One habit that I want to build / rebuild is getting back into a routine of exercising on a regular basis. There was a time when I was at the pool almost every morning. It was built into my daily routine. Then life got busy and you miss one day, then another and the more you miss the harder it is to get back into it. Last…

Good morning from snowy Canada, I am viewing today as my first "official day" back with MFP after a long time away. I did my weight this morning and only 2lbs more than what I was anticipating - could be worse. I am feeling very motivated and spent time this morning organizing my fridge / freezer with some healthier foods.…

Hi everyone - it's great to meet you all. My name is Cheryl This is my first time doing this type of challenge but I am very excited and know that this will keep me motivated. buniphuphu - I also have a long way to go!!! Let's motivate each other. SW - 320 CW - 315

Very excited to join this challenge mfp username: iamafrespirit weigh in day - wednesday current weight - 315 starting weight - 320 Happy to join any team Thank you

I have set a reward goal where I will buy a new pair of earrings for every 10lbs I lose. Nothing too expensive but when I wear them I will remember the hard work I put into getting them. I will also give myself a bigger reward at the milestones. At 25 lbs I will treat myself to a pedicure, at 50 lbs to a facial at 75 lb to…
