welcome to MFP! you will love it here, as we all do!!

this is why I try not to weigh myself during TOM. Wait a few days after it is over and you should see the numbers go down.

Massachusetts(currently) and Tennessee(soon!)

you look phenomenal! Congrats to you!

I am not sure about how much oil will be absorbed but I was going to suggest what you said and use KFC nutritional info. Just seems much easier to use that to estimate. Other thing you might want to do is search the MFP food database for fried chicken and get a round about guesstimate.

if you got on the scale three times and it had 3 drastically different weights then there has to be something wrong with it. are you sure the floor is level?? just seems pretty off! But anyway, try not to obsess about numbers on the scale. what is important is that you are working daily to become healthy. Keep moving and…

LOL! that is too precious!! Love TJ by the way.. such a FUN workout

In my opinion, as long as you are eating every couple hours I do not see any harm in this. I know people say you shouldn't eat a lot at night time but I think that is a myth and I don't buy it. If you are not generally hungry at breakfast time I think the most important thing is to eat SOMETHING period. If you have yogurt…

hey y'all! will soon be 2 months til vacation. If I do not repeat any of the c25k weeks I should be able to run 5k before I go to Tennessee. I am getting excited bout seeing my boyfriend. I did day 2 of c25k yesterday and I did really well. I feel kind of confident about week 4.. just want to make sure I am not overly…

i wanted to wish everyone a good week. i really hate Mondays. I still feel like I am half asleep. I am 3 oz away from a huge major goal and i am so excited. I dropped 2.4 this week which after 2 weeks of 0.8 i am relieved. Hang tough girls. I hope everyone has been able to talk to their bf/hubby. Good luck this week!

i have 2 pair- i wear a size 8 usually but was recommended to buy one size smaller so I got a 7. they fit good.

yes it is healthier to eat the 1200. if you eat 800 cals your body is likely to think it is in starvation mode and you probably won't lose weight. If you are not hungry what about having some low fat milk, or a protein shake? drink the calories insted of eating them.

two words... Jillian Michaels.

Jamie-- so happy your hubby is home on r&r. enjoy your time together :) and Holly I am sorry you haven't heard from Chris:( Stay strong girl.. I hope you get to talk soon. When I go to bed at night I tell myself its another day done and I did okay even though Rob isn't here.. and When I wake up I say another day to get…

honestly my best friends are my measuring cups, spoons and food scale. I definately recommend picking one up. it is a very useful tool

Day 1 of week 2 c25k yesterday. I felt so good! I was able to focus and didn't pay attention to the time as much. Weather was TERRIBLE yesterday. downpours and very high winds. Where is the spring!! I did meditatiion through a podcast i found on intunes for the first time in a long time last night. it felt good to just…

I took a look at his food journal pannel.. definately ups it on weekends.. like whoa! But I do agree with courtney that eating a good number of cals evenly throughout the week is probably more what you should be trying to do.

timmi- hope you feel better soon. I will check out chubby jones c25k. I have yet to tackle anything from Jillian. She intimidates me!! Food shopping is done and just had lunch. yesterday my water consumption sucked so I am trying to get down a ton today. weekends go by so fast!!! :(

hopey i use a c2k5 podcast. where this guy tells you when to run and when to walk etc.. and it is over some music. I like it because he directs me so I don't have to pay attention to the time on my treadmill display but the music isn't exactly my taste tho i am getting use to it and the beat just zones me out. it is kinda…

yay! completed week 1 of c25k and this session was the best on yet. i felt really good and i felt like i was in a zone. I LOVE the fact that i am not out of breath doing this and i feel like i could keep going. i had an awesome dinner tonight, too.. egg and egg white omelette with baby spinach diced tomatoes and cheese…

half naked popcorn hummus w/ crackers cottage cheese- love low fat w/ chives and onions jell-o pudding cups w. 2 tablespoons cool whip free trail mix(nuts and chocolate is my fav) yogurt TLC fruit and grain bars cocoa almonds cinnamon brown sugar almonds string cheese green grapes

i think potassium! eat bananas!! maybe you need vitamins also.

Aww! so sweet your honey sent you flowers. Thats always such a thoughtful gesture. Day 3 of c25k for me today. i am exhausted right now. i need a coffee iv.. i woke up in the middle of the night not feeling so well and it took me forever to get back to sleep. just glad it is friday. Scale is looking good this morning. I…

hey y'all.. i am soo tired! had to work overtime a couple days this week but i am hanging tough! doing great staying on plan.. i did day 2 c25k yesterday and the pain in my feet is going away so it was much better. I am very comfortable with this first week of the program so tomorrow is my last one and i will not repeat it…

Ok-- so since you girls are talking couch2k.. you all really inspired me to try it again. So I turned on the pod cast I have and went for it tonight. I started out with TBL wii game and I had to do the challenge so I did that then I wanted to do yoga but because i busted my knee open on sunday and there was a lot of stuff…

that is a beautiful dress holly. i love the style! cant wait to see you in it! i feel really out of sorts this morning. I am so emotionally exhausted and physically too. I was so tired last night but i had a hard time falling asleep and I spent most of the weekend crying. Yesterday I didn't hardly eat which really bothers…

i crave baby spinach!!!

did TBL last night lower body. it was 3 sets.. My butt is sore today but it was a great workout. Sooo glad it is Friday.. Just need some time off from work for sure. I dont weigh in until monday mornings but i peeked at the scale this morning i was up like a half a pound but that is ok.. I shouldnt be looking anyways.. I…
