6/365 The day's almost over and I'm pushing to get my steps. 23 minutes left! Crunch time :#

As a science-minded person, I totally believed the "calories in vs calories out is all that matters" argument, Brynn... but then I curbed my late-night snacking and was pleasantly surprised at the results. And now there's scientific evidence to back it up! Here's a quick article on the subject:…

Way to go, Jess! You inspire me to try harder (and I can't be the only one to not hit my weekly goals!). :)

First off, I fell asleep while checking in yesterday, but I'm going to count it as my Day 4 check-in, anyway (hope that's kosher). So, today is 5/365. No time for Sworkit today... too busy with college financial aid paperwork (my daughter's a senior in high school). But I will get to it tomorrow. And, my logic for the 8 pm…

Oh, yeah!!! I'll take you on in Fitbit, Brynn! I do a couple challenges every week. It's great how getting steps gets easier as you go along. But it's super cool that you get to experience a whole mindset shift about walking! I went from using an expired ( :s ) handicap sign to park as close as possible wherever I went, to…

One week down, one pound gone. I'm going to have to buckle down if I want to meet my GW in three weeks. Time to cut out diet soda and stick with water. Time, too, to be brutally honest about what I put in my mouth. I've been getting my 16k steps per day, but going way over my calorie count most days. Tomorrow is a new…

3/365 Okay, @jessicakahn606, you've inspired me to give it a try! This week's goal (besides tracking my food, not snacking after 8 pm and getting my 15k steps) is to try a workout on Fitstar or Sworkit. Time to find my muscles! :)

Days 5, 6 and 7 (Sat, Sun and Mon): Oy! the weekend was less-than-stellar and the scale showed it this morning. But it's Monday and I'm back on track; got my 16k steps, ate respectably well, no late snacks. I feel energized for the rest of the week! Hopefully, it'll carry over into next weekend. :)

You'll get there, Jess! You're motivated, have a supremely positive attitude and are taking the steps to achieve your goal... there's no stopping you! B)

2/365 That's great that you have the willpower to work out at home, Jess! I need accountability and a little competition to get me going, so I've become a Fitbit step-freak. I'm in challenges with people who get over 30k steps/day, on a regular basis! I'd like to add some weight training to my cardio, but I haven't gotten…

What's your workout of choice, Jess? Do you go to the gym or do it at home?

1) Lisa (aka Rebel... funny that Jess said, "Maybe you're a rebel...." in her opening remarks) 2) I'm 47 3) I started my weight loss journey in March 2015 at 213. Last week when I joined MFP, I was 188. 4) Today, I'm 185 5) Hmm... my goal's around 145 6) Since Feb 14 <3 7) Nth try (first try, when I was 24, was successful;…

I love the idea of having short-term goals! CW: 185 GW in 4 weeks: 179 (I just want to be out of the 180s!) Start date: 2/20/16 End date: 3/19/16 Week 1 goal: 183.5 Week 2 goal: 182 Week 3 goal: 180.5 Week 4 goal: 179 My reward: a spa mani/pedi! (It's almost 60 degrees here in Chicago, so I'm looking forward to spring :-)

I'm in! Day 1/365 for me. I'm new to MFP, but I did Weight Watchers for almost a year before I found MPF. I totally need accountability, so I'm happy to be here!

Day 4 (1/19, yesterday): logged all food, 16.3k steps, no noshing... but the scale went up a pound this morning. Oh, well... guess that happens, sometimes. I still feel good about hitting my goals; the numbers will show it soon. :)

Day 3: logged all my food, snacked a little past 8 pm (but managed to stop before it got out of control!), still working on steps (I'm at 12k of 15k). Down 3 lbs, as of this morning! :) :)

Day 2: logged everything, no late snacking, but only 13k steps. I'll make the extra 2k up today :p Oh! And down a pound in two days! :)

Day 1: I tracked my food, didn't snack after 8pm and got 16.5k steps. But maybe going to Texas de Brazil on the first day of a challenge wasn't such a great idea :s :s :s

I am so in! SW 213 CW 186 GW 179.5 Goals: track all food, no snacking past 8 pm, 15k steps.
