Friday Results. Stay within your calorie limit-check Cardio: Do 35 minutes of increased heart rate activity. - check, did Zumba Strength- did 120 crunches Water: Drink at least 10 (8oz) glasses of water - 5 only :(

Me not doing good either this week. Keeping under calories in itself is proving a challenge. First time i joined MFP i was doing better but fell off the wagon due to having to shift home. I re-started only a week or two ago and its harder this time. I am not doing good on water front either- averaging 4-5 glasses of water…

Count me in too :) I am hoping for similar results. I joined MFP several months back but fell off the wagon. I restarted here couple of weeks ago...currently trying to moderate my diet and keep under calorie goal. Can do with extra motivation :)

count me in :)

Yesterday: Fruit: 1/2 Apple Vegetable: Raw carrot, some cucumber slices, Raw tomato and bitter gourd cooked Exercise: 90 minutes of Zumba (morning and evening) But for remainder of week I have to go off the exercise wagon. Will keep up with the food challenge though :)

Unfortunately I cannot participate this week on the exercise one but will try on the food challenge.

QOTD #6: What is your main motivation to get in shape right now? New wardrobe!!! Also want to dance dance and dance (and look good doing it...lol). 5-6 session of my shuffling around trying to keep up with instructors already has such an amazing affect on my mind state...I feel happy and rejuvenated throughout the day. Not…

It keeps me on track too!! :) I feel it's an extra motivation to hand in the finished 'homework' at the end of the day with 'I did IT...Woohoo!!!' :-)

Day1: Fruit- Sweet Lime and 1/2 Apple plus a slice of Papaya Veggie- Raw carrot, 1/2 Raw cucumber, 1 Tomato Exercise- Low to moderate impact around 40 minutes total I hope this format is ok for daily reports? :)

QOTD #4: Have you "discovered" any new foods since you started eating healthier? Or realized that you DO like some foods that you used to claim to not like?

@crazynay96 I am battling the same question when trying to set up my 'prizes' for reaching my goal weights. I don't have smaller sizes in my wardrobe anymore as I never believed earlier I would go down in size. So I will be needing them but each size will work only for couple of months at most (with belts etc.). What I am…

I was just calculating my steady weight loss (according to 6 lbs/week). I think I will make it to 148-146 lbs by October 7. I don't lnow whether I was super excited/sleepy/ or in a dumb moment phase that I mentioned 120 lbs as my goal by October *blush*. I want to retain my weight loss and don't think will go rapid weight…

***End of challenge goal weight: 118 lbs Hey I just did some calculations...with 6 lb loss per month 118 lbs is more like it. Please update it to this figure for me. Thank you :)

Hi again...I will like to update my Goal weight for Christmas. I will like to put it at 130 lbs (instead of 140 lbs that I stated earlier). 130 is possible with 1.5 lbs loss every week and that is what my MFP profile is set at :) I hope it is not too much trouble :)

Saturday: under calories----Check! lying leg curls 50:( 9 glass water---- Check! 25+ minutes of cardio---- :( I promise will do better tomorrow! :(

I am already on a Christmas challenge but would love to join this to keep me in check after it is over.

After all the hard work in moving stuff between homes I did not feel so guilty indulging. But did so in moderation. Home= India :) the land of festivals (and think yummy butter dripping delicacies and sweets ;) ) Emotional stress specially from relationships is my problem area too. But learning to smile at myself and give…

Try some Italian seasoning (oregano, rosemary , thyme etc are in the mix i guess). I use it on my sandwiches, pasta, salads...anything that needs a perk up. It is neither too hot nor too salty and has great variety of herbs in it. Btw being from India I am used to spicy food...I need reverse help and learn to cut down on…

well done!! :)

awesome!

We have a festival here (oh no lots of sweets and chocs..will be hard to keep control ) and might be moving home this weekend. :)

QOTD #3:-What was your "a-ha" moment, meaning was there a specific moment that made you decide that it was time to lose the weight? Several things here too-- 1) I am not able to keep up with people around me energy level wise. I wake up in the morning and feel like sleeping again instantly. 2) Difficult to find belts for…
