Consistency is key! Starting off walk/running like you did today is a great way to ease into it, and as you keep it up you'll need to walk less and less. Don't do too much too fast or you could get injured. Running is my favorite form of mental health, welcome to the fold :)

I gave up fast food and diet coke. Growing up, I was always told that it "has to be something that you love" so that it is a sacrifice, and I have been eating way too much junk over the last six months. I'm also making a concerted effort to be more present with my family. I have a husband, a 1 year old, and a 4 year old,…

I'm 5'1, 37, and fairly active. 125 lbs right now but working on losing a few. I struggle with anything under 1800 calories, fwiw. I am by no means a nutritionist or trainer, but in my personal experience, I find myself at a "comfy" weight that is in the healthy zone but a little more than I would like, and I have to work…

Hey, adding you. I have 15 as well.

I'm a runner, and if I don't eat enough carbs my runs are awful. I feel as if carbs fuel my body and improve my workouts. Obviously, everyone is different, but that is my personal experience.

I lost baby weight from my first using MFP, and then maintained for a couple of years, got pregnant again, and then I lost baby weight from my second baby (just turned 1 :)) using MFP. I typically still log most days, but am not as strict during maintenance, and work in treats. I weigh myself regularly to keep an eye on…

@AB0215 Hello, I will not be participating in September. Wishing you all the best.

Hello all, I have to quit this challenge, I have some family stuff that has come up and I don't have the time to focus on checking in here. For those that I am friends with, I will still be logging and exercising, and participating in the FitBit challenges as long as you keep inviting me! I loved this group, you guys got…

@mirendybryant if you have a fitbit, you can go to add a device in your app and add mobile tracking. You have to carry your phone with you, but it's sometimes better than nothing if you're into tracking your steps!

Tuesday Mini Challenge Tracked: Yes Under: No Exercise: 30 minute walk Steps: 12149 Still struggling with food intake. I'm working on weaning from breastfeeding, and my hormones are all over the place. Some is mindless snacking, some is being extra hungry.

Hey all, I’m Megan and I’ve been a member since April. I’ve got 10 very stubborn pounds left to lose, and I was going to make July my last month in this group but I love it too much! Also, the last 10 pounds would be easier to lose if I stop eating cookies and Taco Bell. So you all can help me with that!
