Goals for December: Positive Thinking!! If I can think it, I can do it! Try not to dwell on the loss of my fiance this Christmas (this is the hardest, but I am doing ok - so far) Keep to my diet plan - resist the urge to cheat with all these goodies around me! Walk the dogs daily - a little farther every day

I'm fighting the 50's! (Turned 51 in July) I am somewhat handicapped as I have severe degenerative disc disease and arthritis in my neck and spine, so I am unable to do anything that jars my spine. I am always on the look out for other forms of exercise to help me reach my goals. I also have an atrophied thyroid, due to an…

I have found an excellent book by Leanne Vogel called "The Keto Diet". She addresses many of the issues that affect us in our day to day struggles, "cheat days", different methods of Keto diet, and includes many recipes. This has been a very useful tool for me. I have been doing Keto for two weeks and lost 13 lbs.

I agree. Someone asked a legitimate question, looking for an answer. Some people found the juicing plan wasn't for them, some thought it is propaganda, some loved it. Those who don't agree need not belittle those who enjoy the program. Everyone has their own "thing" that works for them. Why do we need to attack each other…

Sorry, was in the hospital all weekend with one of my boys. My weight is 159.8

Sorry, we had a bit of a family crisis and I have been out of the loop all weekend. My weight is 159.8 lbs.

I'm a girl, and only smelly after workouts :ohwell:

If you want to try the peanut butter, try the natural kind without added sugar. It is a lot healthier for you.

That is so amazing! Congratulations. I don't even know you, and I wiped a tear away.

Thirty pounds is incredible! Keep it up! Soon you're jeans will be falling off, I promise!

I just found this challenge, and would love to join, if it is not too late. If it is, I hope you will keep me in mind for the next challenge. I really need to get in gear and I know the support of your group will be a big help. Just in case you do have room for me, here are my stats: Current Weight: 159.8 Challenge Goal…

I think everyone is misunderstanding this as a diet. It is a 3 day cleansing fast. The intention is not to lose weight, but rather to clease your body of built up toxins. A friend of mine recently had a physician put her son on a cleanse that consisted of him taking Muralax and Dulcolax (alternately) every two hours all…

Is this it? If so, sounds like it is meant for cleansing your digestive tract, right? I have heard of much worse ways! I think I may give it a try after all... Prepare for your fast by eating lightly the day prior to starting. Avoid the temptation to eat a big "last supper" the night before. Instead, have a green salad to…

I've never heard of it. You need to be careful whenever you eliminate a food group (or several food groups) from your diet entirely. Because it is only three days, I don't think you will do yourself any harm, and apples are good for you. Just pay attention to how you are feeling so you know if you need to add something…

:wink: Maybe because you don't have a head?

I'll jump on the bandwagon! I haven't lost anything in the last few weeks - even put on two pounds:embarassed: . I'm looking forward to this to help me over this hump.

Bummer, guess I didn't get my registration in on time.:sad: Maybe next time! Good luck all :happy:

My biggest reason for wanting to lose weight is my family. I have a daughter, four sons, three granddaughter (soon to be four) and five grandsons. I want to be a good example for them. I want to eat healthy, get exercise, and be "Super Grandma". I want to be healthy so I will be able to play with them for many years to…

Way to go! :bigsmile:

I certainly wouldn't be caught dead in a bikini, let alone a string bikini! I think they are flattering if you are a tiny little thing, but honestly - would you like to see a 250 lb woman in a string bikini?:ohwell:

My name is Barbara. I am 45 and want to lose 30 more pounds by the time my daughter returns from her tour in Afghanistan in a year. I have 5 children and by Thanksgiving time will have my 9th grandchild. I need motivation and support and would love to provide the same for anyone who wants to add me as a friend!

My name is Barbara. I am 45 years old, and the mother of 5. I also have 8 grandchildren, with the 9th due around Thanksgiving. I am 5'1" and currently weigh 159 lbs. My heaviest was about 198. My goal weight is 130lbs. I joined MFP a little over a week ago and absolutely love it! I would love to be a part of your challenge.

Jillian Michaels wrote a book called "Master Your Metabolism". I highly reccomment it. She goes into a lot of things that cause fatigue that you wouldn't expect. This book isn't about exercise, or about dieting, but rather about the effect certain foods, products, enviromental issues, etc have on your body. It is a very…

Have you ever been involved in an accident? I have some severe neck issues due to a few accidents. Mine clicks all the time, and I have bone spurs on my cervical spine. If you have something like that, you should NOT try to adjust or "pop" your neck. If it isn't painful - this probably isn't your case, but if you have ever…

I have the same problem. I don't get hungry ver often, and my calorie intake is not sufficient (per MFP), so it is really frustrating that I stay at this same weight. And then when I do exercise, I have even lower calories for the day and I already have trouble eating enough to make the 1200 recommended. Anyone have any…

My sisters (there are 5 of us) and I are all planning a vacation, probably a cruise, in the next year as a reward for reaching whatever personal goal we set for ourselves. A few of us are getting fit, some quitting smoking, and others have other goals. We are spread out across the country and haven't all been together in…
