Hi All, I really have enjoyed chatting with you all this month, but it seems that the exercise challenge is having a negative effect on my weight loss efforts. I am nowhere near meeting my goal so I am starting to get down about it and tending to binge more because in my head "if I can't work out, I might as well just keep…

Starting weight for September: 199.6 This week's weigh in: 200 Your goal for September: 195 Total Loss so far in September: Up .4 lbs How you are doing on your personal goal: Life has gotten crazier in the last week so I'm finding lots less time to exercise. :-( Any comments you'd like to make: Lost 9 lbs in my first 3…

Got a 50 min walk in today!!!

Starting weight for September: 199.6 This week's weigh in: 200 Your goal for September: 195 Total Loss so far in September: Up .4 lbs How you are doing on your personal goal: I got shingles so haven't been exercising as much as I'd hoped. Any comments you'd like to make: Gained 3lbs last week due to an IV and lost it this…

Got an hour walk in yesterday at a relatively slow pace. I canceled my hike for today due to shingles pain. Hoping to walk most (if not all) days this week!

Well, I started the week on a roll, but that has not continued. I haven't walked since Tuesday. That's part shingles and part busyness. I plan to do some hiking and walking this weekend. I am not making my exercise goal, but I'm not giving up either! :-)

Congratulation on your success! If some of you are eating less calories and losing weight, great. However, I think this is an excellent thread for anyone who might be eating too little calories and not seeing the losses they would like. It's important to switch things up in some way when you get stuck. If I've learned…

Got another brisk 40-minute walk in today. I'm on a roll!!

Sandy, so sorry about your parents and your sister. My husband has been out of work for several years. It is tough out there! Kathy, I prefer to walk in the mornings also, but I already get up at 5 and get to work by 7 and I don't think I can manage getting up any earlier! So lunch time it is for now. AZ, great work on the…

My exercise has been sidetracked this week as I have shingles! So not what I needed right now, but it is what it is. Hoping I will be feeling better enough tomorrow to get back on track with the walking.

Starting weight for September: 199.6 This week's weigh in: 203 Your goal for September: 195 Total Loss so far in September: -3.4 How you are doing on your personal goal: Not great. I wanted to do 4 hours walking/biking, but only got in 2.5 Any comments you'd like to make: I have been in a lot of pain this week, ended up in…

Hi. Thanks for the welcomes! Weekends are always tougher for me to stay on track, but I did take my daughter to a family festival yesterday and walked around there for over 2 hours. I counted it as an hour since we did some stopping along the way. I have a brisk 3 mile walk planned with a friend for this afternoon. I've…

I'm already on the list, but I did my first weigh-in for September this morning. 199.6 -- 2.4 lbs down since last Friday and 9.4 lbs down total since I start MFP 25 days ago! Woo hoo!! Also, I noticed my goal is a "bit" off. I said 185 when I meant 195. I would love to lose 17 lbs in one month, but I'm not going to put…

Hi, I'm Suzanne and I will join you for September. I am on my 3rd week here at MFP and have lost 7lbs so far. I used to work out quite regularly, but have slacked off in the last couple of years. I just went back to work full-time after being a work-at-home mom and I am taking advantage of my lunch hours to get some…

I am in! This will be my first challenge. I'd also like to know how best to keep up with the group. SW as of 08/26 (my last weigh in for August): 202 Goal for September: 185 Self-Challenge: Exercise (walk/bike) 4 hours each week.

Hi. I started MFP 2.5 weeks ago and I would love to join you for September. What is the best way to keep up with the group? I have not joined a group or a challenge yet. I'm a 38 y.o. mom and I work full-time. My kids will be 4 and 6 this fall. Walking during my lunch break is my best exercise option right now and I'd love…
