My first week doing this challenge, although I've seen the post floating around for a while now. I'm ready!

I am in the same boat. I was really pumped when I first started on this site. I had lost 15 lbs. Then the holidays happened, and up to this day I've gained back around 8 lbs of that. I'm pretty bummed out. My downfall is the food. I know how to eat healthy. I know what works for me, gives me energy, but I just can't seem…

Ditto- check out that book! And start lifting now! Also, i'm sure you already know this, but if you've never lifted before, it would be a good idea to partner up with someone with some strength training experience. They can watch that your form is correct and that you aren't potentially doing damage to your body.

HA. That's really funny ^^ In response to the actual question, I would definitely look less at the scale and more at your measurements. I think that is a much better judge of progress. I had the same thing happen to me this last month. I was really frustrated, since I wasn't "hardcore" in any of my exercising: cycling for…

bump-

I prefer to eat dinner late (9:00-10:00PM) and feel like I sleep better when I have dinner an hour or two before I go to bed. I have heard both that it's not good for your metabolism and also that it doesn't matter and doesn't have an effect on it at all. I'm curious to see if this debate will be split :) When I eat dinner…

Thank you for sharing this!

I am now at my driver's license weight. I weighed-in this morning in my pajamas, and couldn't believe my eyes: 154? Then I weighed-in again with my work clothes on: 156. Then for a 3rd time tonight in my pjs after a workout and shower: 154.8. I'm going with a 1 lb weight loss, since I really can't give myself too much…

This is a really nice post. I don't have a TON of weight to lose, yet I tend to focus more on the fact that I've ONLY lost 11 lbs, instead of being closer to my goal of 30 lbs. Even though I know this, you reminded me of how silly my negative thinking can be: it took me 5-6 years to gain this 30 lbs, and it's pretty…

Okay- just warning you all- I am going out to dinner tomorrow ONLY because I found out my $50 gift certificate there expires tomorrow night. It's a vegan soulfood place... I know I know- sounds like an oxymoron, but it's DELICIOUS. I've been finding it difficult to find the time to workout these past two weeks, but the…

We have the same birthday- which is my goal date for my weight loss, too! We should be friends =) I have struggled with a lot of the same things you are- bingeing mainly- college put a lot of stress and weight on me for various different reasons. I have had good days and bad days since joining this site, but clearly, it's…

I go over my calories 9 times out of 10... I have a bottomless pit, and eating 1200 net calories a day is just too little food for me, most days. I thought it was because my food wasn't nutrient dense, but this happens even on the days that I am eating more than a pound of fruits and veggies and plenty of protein.

I did TERRIBLE with my first week- combo of added stress at work and PMSing did not help matters!! However- I lost 1 lb this week! I was really not expecting that, but I guess the little bit I did helped. I did manage to do the mini challenges with the exception of adequate exercise (60 min/5 days a week was difficult with…

So sorry- wasn't able to get a chance to log everything until after midnight (PST) tonight... Thanks for the new badge guys!!

Phew- amazing how taking a couple of weeks off can work against you. Today was tough- can't wait until day 5-7, as i know it will feel a lot better then. Completed the mini challenge and restarted 30DS. On level 1 day 1. I started 30DS a couple of months ago when I first joined MFP, combined with C25K... but fell off the…

i'm in! I've fallen off the bandwagon (again) and I will complete this challenge! Current Weight: 158

Hi- We have something in common... the bingeing... I'm sending you a message =)

Why not?! I grew up in a filipino household, so un-breakfasty food for breakfast was common (I was the weird kid who had the strange mystery lunches topping a mound of rice). Now, I still have no qualms about having stirfy and rice for breakfast. Sure, I'll add an egg, too- so it looks like breakfast.

I'm in... I'm recovering from a weekend in Vegas and needed something attainable for me to kick my *kitten* back into action. Weekly Goal:3500 Mon: 349 (35 minutes of circuit training) Tues: calories burned (how they were burned) Wed: calories burned (how they were burned) Thur:calories burned (how they were burned) Fri:…

I. Am. In. The. Same. Boat. I have a bottomless pit. And groceries are getting more expensive (especially if the closest one within walking distance is Whole Foods- good god, it should be a crime for them to charge as much as they do!) I can do well ALL day, and then within the last hour I'm awake, I can devour an entire…

I had the same problem at first (I am also doing some Jillian Michaels workout). I log it as circuit training, since she incorporates strength, cardio, and abs into it.

I'll add you! I need some more support to rally me on, too!

Thanks everyone for your input! I changed my lifestyle from lightly active to active. I don't think I'll add it then in the future, unless I deliberately take one of the dogs for an extra long run. Some of you alluded to disappointment if I didn't get the results I was working toward... and I'd rather be surprised by…
