Teresa, it may not be your thing, but I'm a big believer in Dr. Kenneth Cooper's work and using HRMs for conditioning. If one exercises in the proper zone, an increase is rigor is determined by the heart's condition alone. I'm planning to start up again August 1st. Started training for a marathon once and just found I…

Congrats on setting your goals and posting your progress. Your tenacity is inspiring!

Allison, any chance your mattress might be part of the problem? Good job staying on plan! Thanks for encouraging through inquiry.

You've come a long ways! Keep it up! Keep posting here if the accountability is helpful. Post each day if that helps! When you get discouraged, look how far you've come and how very close you are to crossing into a big line! We can do this!

That will have to wait until August 1st.…

It's about the long run, 2missdaxa. Keep at it!

Nice work, jopalis! Keep it up!

I'll be happy averaging a…

mtaratoot, congrats on staying the course and on being so close to your ultimate goal! I like two things about your challenge. First, each week is listed. That's a great motivator for me. Secondly, it goes for four months. By December, I should be able to meet my own goal. Would love to see you create a new challenge…

Alteredsteve, your challenge sounds doable and tracks with my goals, so I'm in! Female - age 59 Height 5' 2" Current restart weight - 150.2 lbs - July 1, 2018 Goal by December 31, 2018 - 128 lbs Overall goal: 122 - 128 lbs August 1st I'll start with regular treadmill work. Until then, I'll be sticking to 1500 caloric…

I listen to my heart rate. When I was in my all time best condition, I would spend two hours on the treadmill on an incline wearing a 20lbs weighted vest. I started doing this because I'm huge fan of Dr. Kenneth Cooper. He's the reason I've spent my adulthood concerned about my aerobic condition. Because I found I didn't…

jm, I'd love to have more motivation to do push-ups this summer! We could increase our numbers together! Maybe there's a way for us to report them in a thread or create a couple of groups among ourselves for a competition. Or some other method that has worked for the group in the past. I'm up for anything.

What an awesome group of women gathered here to conquer our goals over the next 12 weeks. Thanks for organizing, Jessica!

I'm in!

I've not received anything from you? Where should I be looking for it? Email? MFP inbox? Elsewhere? Looking forward to participating!

Great idea! I followed the link and used the Join button.

@@roboliciousbob Look at you go!! Terrific weight loss job over the last 5 months. Congrats! You're exactly right. I also enjoyed following the progress of women of a similar height. When I was almost at my goal weight -- ten years ago -- I joined Weight Watchers with the plan of weighing in every week to stay on track.…

@fidangul What a terrific thread! I'm not quiet ready for a top maintenance weight but bet I'll be back the first week in July to begin posting as a regular. Congrats to everyone on your losses and for maintaining!

We use to have a group of regular posters on this thread who started their journey in the fall or Dec. I was one of them. I sometimes wonder if those that stopped posting gave up, so I wanted to post here one final time. I last posted here 11 weeks ago. Today marks 183 days in a row to log in but it has been only to record…

Sunday Weigh In -- Finishing Week #15 (105 days) SW: 155.6 - 12/4/2016 PW: 136.6 CW: 135.6 GW: 122 My loss this morning hit the 20 pound mark. Feeling lucky this week for a 1 pound loss. Reasonable eating continued but I had some days I didn't record all of my food - that doesn't mean I was over but a sign my focus is…

Foods high in protein or fiber. For protein I eat eggs, chickens, and tuna. Always eat 2 eggs for breakfast and two pieces of whole wheat toast. Tuna and crackers or a tuna sandwich for lunch is one option. Dinner, chicken with some vegetables. I'm not much of a salad eater. Snacks might include a few almonds but I have to…

SavageBeauty, I'm interested in learning more. Will you say more about about what you're doing?

Sunday Weigh In -- Finishing Week #14 (98 days) SW: 155.6 - 12/4/2016 PW: 138.6 CW: 136.6 GW: 122 Weighing myself every day I know I've been losing each week but because of what I ate on Saturday, it just didn't show up till this week. This two pounds represents about 3 weeks. Consistently back to getting my 10,000 steps…

I"m not the best person to answer this question cause I'm too uptight about things that people like Juliemargaret don't seem to be. But she and I agree the key is eating well and moving more. Here's a longer answer. I think there are a number of factors but I'll mention just a couple here. A key for me is to do something…

Nice job! That's the way we lose it .1 at a time.

The results are in! I was 1st place in the weight loss challenge at work that started January 13th. Took home $187.50 from the pool. I know my percentages aren't really accurate because the nurse told me people would be wearing heavier clothes on the first weigh in and stripping down on the last. So, I played that game.…

Interesting! I carry a lot of my extra weight in my thighs. Watching the weights people are shooting for is interesting to me because of clothes size. Juliemarget, for instance, has said she's shooting for 115. While a whole group of us have small frames and are of similar heights, I've wondered why we choose the weight…

Sunday Weigh In -- Finishing Week #13 (91 days) SW: 155.6 - 12/4/2016 PW: 138.2 CW: 138.6 GW: 122 Very late post as I should have posted Sunday. No treadmill time but have been gotten my daily walking up over 10,000 steps. What's been most important is that my eating has remained on track. So, as I try to get my mind back…

We are definitely on the same page! Didn't mean for my post to sound otherwise. We each have to find what works for us and go with it. I encourage everyone to eat a reasonable amount of nutritious food each day. Big congrats on your success! 28 pounds in 28 weeks is awesome! " Absolutely -- And you're doing great! Everyone…

I love my whole grain breads! It would be a huge sacrifice for me if I had to give them up. For me, salads don't ever satisfy me hunger. Protein satisfies my hunger and whole grains and fiber top it off. My meals -- that will satisfy my hunger range from 250 to 400 calories. For me, eating slowly and being aware of how…
