That is so great :) Congrats

I am getting it done...or trying too :) You know I just realized that I was only logging my miles for the challenge when I "went out" for walks. By the steps I take...I walk at least a mile a day on top of that. Should I go redo my miles on the spreadsheet or should I only count the "walks"?

I have been overweight for a while. I have tired a few times to lose weight on the FAD diets. I soon realized that even when I dropped weight from them nothing really changed and I put it all back on. So this time I started a lifestyle change instead of a diet. Something that will stick with me always. I was losing weight…

Tuesday QOTD: I think we all struggle with eating well, especially when eating out. How do you deal with restaurants and get-togethers? Great question btw.... Being that my hubbs works at night and they are giving him tons of OT there isn't much time for eating out. When we do plan to go out to eat...we figure out a couple…

I was thinking he would be good too and he is from my area :) I like him

WOW...That is so awesome. You are doing so great!

I would love to join in. This is just what I need to put an extra boost in my efforts.

Yes....yes they are :drinker:

Monday QOTD - If you could have a celebrity trainer or celebrity chef come and work with you for a month, Who would you pick and why? Well for chef it would be Rocco. I love how he can turn anytthing we eat into something healthy. For a trainer I would love to have Bob or Jillian. I know they might not be "celebrity"…

WOW there were some really BIG losses this week. WTG everyone :flowerforyou:

Real QOTD Wednesday--IS THERE A SONG OR MOVIE, POEM or PAINTING that has inspired you in your weight goal quest? There isn't really one thing but I did find a couple qoutes that I like "The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to state" -John bingham "Courage is not defined by those who…

I use Cardiotrainer. It will tell you how fast you are going, how far you went, steps you took, and time. It's really great.

Yes I think so. My parents and sister are all overweight like me. My mom has told my sister & me many times how we should just get used to it because that is how we are built. Now my mother has lost weight in the past but goes back to her old ways and puts it back on. She has tried again to do it but gives up quickly when…

Oh you got me with this one. I LOVE this sight. So many great things.

1st....BIG WELCOME TO Canidoit11 to the Black Team!! MONDAY QOTD: What exercise combinations work best for you/do you see the best results with?? Well I do a lot of walking. I have two places I go which is a walking park that has very little flat land and around my home. When I go to the park I have 3 big hills that I have…

Welcome and Congrats on the new baby. I had my little boy (my 2nd child) at the end of April. I was also overweight before pregnancy and actually lost all my baby weight quick thanks to nursing. Now I am back on track to finsh getting the rest off. It's not easy but it can be done. Feel free to add me :happy: :flowerforyou:

Those look super good and I have a bad sweet tooth. I will have to try this.

You look amazing. That is such a great inspiration and I wanna thank you so much for posting this.

Ok you've got me :) My name is Heather. I am a SAHM to a 7 year old girl (Kendal) and soon to be 6 month old boy (Caleb). I have battled with my weight for a while now and started working on it prior to getting pregnant. Now I am getting back to it, I want to get healthy for myself and my family. - what do you do? - how do…

That was a good round and congrats to all the biggest losers :) I am excited for this week--it is really going to keep me in line. Alright Black team...lets go for it this week and take it home :wink:

Wow now I could feel the burn just by watching the video. I am gonna try it. BTW thanks so much for taking the time out and posting these challenges. I love attempting these "little something extras".

YAY it's Friday.. QOTD Friday~~What is the one type of food that your crave the most but know you should eat AND how do you control that craving?

I keep mine open. It makes me feel like I have to make better choices.

Thursday QOTD What would you consider your most trouble area of your body and what form of exercise do you do to focus on that part? I would have to say my whole bottom half. It's the combo hips/thighs/butt. Because I know you can't really spot reduce I don't do really much different. I added walking to my routine so that…

You are doing great :happy: Look at all the progress you have made so far...

Dang I have been out of it this week... QOTD Monday about staying on track ~ I have MFP on my phone so I make myself log on anytime I do something. I keep telling myself that I don't want to let my friends down who support me and in turn look to me for support. By thinking this, it makes me think of my choices for food…
