Iced in over a week with two more days to go. Goal was to clean whole house....sure. Did the cat box and homework. Thankfully nothing here to snack on.

Sw:174 Gw:155 CW:172 Total weight lost: 2 lbs This week: bad weather, couldn't go out-ate clean This weeks challenge: Back to exercise class The idea of losing a pound a month has taken away the anxiety and pressure of weight loss. The closer I get to my goal weight the harder it is to lose. Have a great week everyone.

Sw 174 CW 173 Weight loss 1 lb Success: limited carbs Challenges: Icy weather This coming week: back to exercise This is doable for me Good luck everyone!

I need a better scale. Any suggestions appreciated

I'm in highest weight 230 Sw 174 Goal 155 Total weight loss 0 Success today is first day Challenges will eliminate excessive carbs and continue to exercise. Foot injury got me off track.

Fit bit-great customer service. I have exercise ball that my music director has us rehearse while sitting on for our abs and breath and a stretch exercise band. All cheap. Waste of money? Leg warmers, soy powder, spanks, fat reduction pills, rowing machine and treadmill that I burned out, tap shoes and hula c d.

Terrific! You look great. Your knees will thank you.

I feel much better when I eat before 7 pm. A cut off time gives me a goal. Do what you feel is right for you. Be yourself, everyone else is taken.

What a wonderful story. I'm sure you will be successful in whatever you decide to do after this accomplishment. Your self discipline is amazing.

My music director has us rehearse on exercise balls. Great for abs, balance and strength.

I want to be able to be healthy, participate in activities, be knee pain free. It is only the second day and I screwed up about 350 calories during the Cubs game. A lifelong fan, I ate chocolate, crackers without even enjoying them. Instead of dinner. Tomorrow is another day and I did walk but I have to be more aware of…

Log all of my food and be Honest about it! Exercise daily. I am a vegetarian but will continue to add water and go slow on dairy.

Hello everyone. I just finished a 30 day challenge and it was great. Getting over a heel injury but was able to do 60 minutes yoga this A M. I sing and have to have strong thighs, abs, and lungs. I haven't been able to lose much and Doctor says it's muscle but I know it is diet-lots of exercise and lots of pastry. So I'm…

Did it!

Not sure how to get on spreadsheet Sw 172 CW 172 CT 162 UGW 155

I'm in. Did 60 min yoga this am. CW 172 GW Jan 1 162 UGY March 17 155 Here we go and Good Luck to us!

P.s. Going for walks with your partner and precious baby count as exercise and it's a good time to visit, make plans, and spend time together plus it's free. Best wishes!

Slow down..being a fiancé-being a mother -being a student are all high stress situations. Make out a simple weekly meal plan, rest up and most importantly try to rest when you can. You have about 60 more years to accomplish your goals. Take it a day at a time and lower your expectations and you can do it. Do what you can…

I missed yesterday but got in 30 squats, a little walking and 2 hours of singing in. Thanks for doing this. The most important thing in singing is having strong thighs. Then the pelvis, abs and lastly the lungs. I would have never done the squats without your suggestion tonight. I was lazing on the couch.

Please add me to your challenge. I need the support and goal.

I exercise several days a week and watch calories. Gained 4 pounds. Doctor says it's muscle and to keep doing what I am doing. More importantly, if you continue to lose at this rate, you will have no baggy skin. What can go wrong?

Yes! Get one with heart rate. I have a flex and got a heart rate one for my daughter. We need to take care of our hearts. I plan to get upgraded soon. Feel free to friend me. I've gained 4 pounds in the last month (with six exercise classes a week plus singing several hours) the doctor says it's muscle and to keep it up so…

Sometimes just going on a walk can be exercise. Maybe getting a walking partner. A dog. You really don't have to do anything. I have classes with others but like Qin gong best. No interacting when I need some private time. Be good to yourself and try to relax. I have a fit bit and it encourages me to get some steps in…

Don't nag just go on with your own plan. Remember the airplane analogy, put your own face mask on first. You don't want to end up the same way years from now.

Very encouraging! I've worked so hard and ended up gaining 4 pounds. Doctor says it's muscle. My clothes fit better and my singing has improved as well as my endurance. Singing starts with strong thighs, pelvis, abs and then lungs. Most people think just lungs. My director has us rehearse while sitting on exercise balls.…

Lower your expectations of them and continue with your plan. It's a good policy for life in general. People just don't do what we want them to. When we try to please all of them it ends up taking a lot of fun out of life. They love you.

Men are like busses- another one will come along in 20 minutes. You are young and beautiful, what can go wrong.

I started MFP with 6 exercises a week and following calorie counting plus singing 6 hours a week ( which is exhausting) and ended up gaining 4 pounds in a month. Doctor says its muscle and jeans were big today but it is discouraging when we live by the scale. My health is improved and I feel much better because I'm trying.…

I think this is a wonderful story! It is hard to believe that other people have their own concerns and aren't focused on me, me, me. I returned to school as an older student and had the time of my life. Good for you!

I have one and tie it to my shoe when on the treadmill. You can also make a little bag for it and pin it in your bra. Good luck!
