Hey all! I'm back from a busy weekend and ready to make some more progress with you all :) changed my goal back to losing 2 pounds/week after this weekend (not that I went way overboard or anything, I just had it set to maintenance so I want to make sure I'm at a deficit for this next week) Congrats, team! I'm so glad…

Weight goal*

Hey all! I went MIA from MFP around Easter time and got off track, but now I'm ready to get back into the trenches and work my butt off!! So glad you are continuing this thread, because it really helped me with healthy habits last month April 8th: Reporting for 4/7 Under Calorie goal: no Exercise: yes 60 mins stair master…

@divaford140 my motto is also "just do it!!!" If I'm looking at a chocolate bunny and want to devour it, though, the motto has to be "just DON'T do it!!" Lol.

@JMarcella57 that post was JUST what I needed to hear! I had a rough day... Period cravings like crazy. I've been trying to avoid anything with added sugar but I got way off track today. Also snacked a lot and didn't log any of it, but at the very least I made it to the gym so hopefully that will off set the damage a bit.…

@UmmSqueaky I am originally from the Minneapolis area! Good for you for getting out in these low temps. I never biked much on city streets, but I would often bike along the greenway and around Calhoun/ lake of the isles to get some miles in and look at the pretty houses :p I also get that problem a lot when crossing…

Decided to go for a ride today. Although my toes got pretty numb, it wasn't too bad. 4/4 - 5 miles 4/5- 15 miles Total: 20 miles Goal: 300 miles Remaining: 280 miles

I've gotten off to a bad start due to cold weather and being out of town. Changing my goal to 300 miles in April, and if I don't make it then I don't make it :p so far the only biking I've done is just around town doing errands and such, but it's still something 4/4 - 5 miles Total: 5 miles Goal: 300 miles Remaining: 295…

Way to go, team! You all are amazing and this group has been a huge motivation for me to put down the junk food and hop on the stair master. Went about 200 cals over my goal yesterday so I'm going to add one more day of this deficit onto this week to make sure the number on the scale is creeping down instead of up! Today…

Go for it! I'll be with you with the high calorie deficit for this week and *hopefully* with you when we're both down three pounds for weigh in

I'm gonna try to keep within my goal calories too instead of giving myself a 100 calorie leeway like I normal do :p

Pleasantly surprised by what the scale told me this morning. Although I'm only down 0.5 pounds from last week, I was expecting a GAIN because while I was out of town I was not counting my calories or excersizing. I'm a little worried that my body has yet to register all the calories which will result in a later gain, so…

Hi, just a quick question. How strict is our weigh-in day? I have mine scheduled for Sundays, but I will be out of town and won't have access to a scale on Saturday and Sunday. I was wondering if I could weigh-in on Monday for just this week? Thanks !

I have been meaning to keep better track of my miles and this seems like just the challenge I need to do that! This winter has been great for biking, so I've been going out quite a bit and getting some use out of my new tires. I plan on canceling my gym member ship soon, so I'm really hoping it will be a nice spring for…

I am exactly the same way. Without enough sleep I lose all my motivation and end up eating too much and not working out. that's a big reason why I gained this weight in the first place- not enough sleep during my college years and too many treats available constantly. I try my best to reduce excess-sugar and processed…

Let's do this, team :) ! This challenge is much needed after I went a little crazy with the Easter candy ... :p

Hi everyone! I'm a little late on my intro cause I just got back from a vacay :) My name is Libby and I'm 30 years old. I just want to drop a little poundage before shorts/ swimsuit season! Looking forward to this challenge as a source of motivation. I've got about 16 pounds to lose

Interested!!

@newbie2143 thanks! Also, I've been trying to get in a little meditation every day because I also have problems with my stress levels. So hard to fit in sometimes, though!

@bellew62802 , I get very tired trying to keep up with my kids' constant energy as well some days. I try to emulate their energy and carefree spirit as much as I can, but with the stresses of adulthood it can be so hard @newbie2143 , I'm sorry to hear you have to work while your family takes off for a vacation, that is…
