These are the little things that keep you going when it's a struggle, way to go! :)

Amazing progress! Keep up the hard work! It's so much harder to lose when you're short in stature, I'm barely 5'2" so I'm in the same boat

I am in! My goal is simply to run at least 1 mile every day in March. It's the 12th and I haven't missed a day yet, so far so good:)

Hello! It definitely helps to have friends, even if you only check in with them on the computer, it makes a difference. I have been off and on MFP for years and whenever I have friends checking in on me I am more successful.

cooked broccoli & cooked cauliflower

The campfire is definitely a requirement for me! I camp frequently and have been forced by thunderstorms and downpours to forgo the campfire and it really takes away from the whole experience. I love the smell, watching the flames, s'mores and cooking meals over the fire.

Gathering up the energy, it's going to be an afternoon workout here! TGIF B)

I started out alternating between walking and running with gritted teeth and now I love running. It is my escape, my thinking time, and I always feel better after running. It is still tough to get started, especially if it is winter, dark outside, and the treadmill is involved. But after about 10 minutes I start to enjoy…

Keep seeing commercials for Beauty and the Beast, so "Be our guest"

The whole month of March!!

I'm in! I always find Lent is a more motivating time of the year for me than New Year's because after Lent comes summer!

I struggle to lose and maintain due to my height as well. The only thing that comes easy is gaining!

Ok, I'm in. I'll be back after I weigh in to post my current weight and goal. I need to stay motivated and keep logging.

The week before is the worst for me, I just started and now it's not so bad. But the week before, watch out, I'm starving, crabby, out of control cravings, I actually had a dream about curly fries, and that's not normal for me :s

Oops I meant dogs. Also I never listen to music or anything eith earbuds when I'm out walking in my neighborhood. I like to be aware of what's going on around me.

I have 2 dogs, a Bassett Hound and an Australian Cattle dog that walk with me every morning and night. My dogs need to walk rain, snow, or heat so I'm always out there, although I enjoy it so much more when it's not cold. Recently we had an unseasonably warm day and it was wonderful. The sun was out, it was early morning,…

The downside of being a teacher, the 20 minute lunch, combined with the lingering students and things you are expected to do during lunch like check emails, voicemails, and your mailbox gives me little time to eat as well. I like to bring yogurts, oatmeal, soup, cheesesticks, fruits, nuts, and salads to scarf down quickly.…

I love mud runs! Just did one on Saturday. I want to do the tough mudder, but I need to prepare more. I'm a short distance runner. I'm signed up for 3 more mud runs this summer, all 5ks, and my goal is to improve my time. I train with lots of mixed cardio, running, burpees, kickboxing, and then work in squats, push ups,…

I like nature valley nut crisps

Victoria's Secret super soft thong, feels like wearing nothing but you're wearing something

peanut butter M&Ms nacho cheese doritoes homemade chocolate chip cookies toffee & almond hershey's nuggets Keep all of these foods out of my sight. My mouth is watering right now!

Sounds like me - there are things I will not give up, like my sweets! But I try to work out enough to be able to indulge.

Sounds like you are toning up. You lost an inch so you are still making positive progress! Remember muscle weighs more than fat, so as you increase your muscle mass you will not lose, you might even gain. Also, I never weigh near my period.

Sounds like it might be tough to get to a microwave. I pack for lunch as well, but I don't feel that lettuce holds up well with an ice pack. I use spinach in place of lettuce in salads and pack toppings separately. Do you like yogurt? I freeze individual cups of yogurt and bring those along with fruits, trail mix, popcorn,…

Hello, I've been on MFP in the past but dropped off. I just started again in May and all of my old friends are no longer logging in. I really need someone to hold me accountable! Add me.

chocolate binge! mini snickers, peanut butter m&ms and reeses cups worked for me in about 5 days!

I would be interested in being part of this group. I am going back to teaching freshmen (shudder) after 9 years of teaching upper classmen. I'm not looking forward to it. I know in years past I've always made exercise in the am a priority for the first months of school so that I know that no matter how long & crazy the day…

what does an asian pear taste like? It looks kind of like an apple.

Don't name your kids after what you were drinking when you got pregnant, I have taught Chardonnay, Kavocsea' (ka-va-sea-ay), Hennesse, & Seagram. Why??? Also noticed the weirder the name the more discipline issues the child has in school.

Looking forward to watching the film. I still eat processed foods, but I am interested in making my choices more healthy. Thanks for sharing. :bigsmile:
