It has been a good week- I will make the challenge tomorrow since I am doing the first of 15 training walks for the PF Changs half-marathon here in AZ in January. We have a small group here in the neighborhood that will walk the half- hopefully beat our time of a couple years back- 17:30 minutes. Hoping to get it down to…

I love the partner activity, so I hope we can stick with it for awhile. Finally seeing some eight loss after three weeks on MFP- more intense cardio and a real focus on calorie intake- seems to be working! Lost 3 lbs!

Well this should be interesting! I will send you all my basic information and then open up my food diary- might make it easier!

I am totally bummed out! After a week with only 1 day over my calorie goal , 10 miles of walking, nearly 15 miles of mountain hiking and a fast 5K walk, I am STILL at the same weight- 155.8- I don't get it- so I didn't make the goal this week!

Until about 7 years ago I weighed between 125-130 and that is where I want to be again. I like to be able to wear sexy dresses and look really nice in shorts- living in AZ that is almost a necessity! I've always had trouble with extra belly and thigh fat- even at my lowest weight of 115- so I am working on strength…

Sunday morning and it is going to be over a 100 in Phoenix AGAIN- I am headed for the high country to do some hiking!

Up a little since my Wednesday weigh in but just made the 1.2 lbs for this week's goal! 155.8.

Thanks for the great inspiration! I am 54 and have a really similar story- though I have slowly been gaining weight for about 7 years- I went from 130 to 160! I had never weighed that much in my life! I don't run- but I love to hike and walk- and have done a couple of half marathons- I have one coming up in January and I…

This has really kept me motivated this week- tracking food and exercise every day- but I only weigh myself 2 times a week- it seems too stressful to do it more than that! I am going out to dinner and the ballet with some friends tonight- I have to be very disciplined so I am ready for tomorrow!

I'd LOVE to be in! I am 54- and just passed through menopause almost a year ago- but I still have minor hot flashes and losing weight has been really difficult. I take oral hormones and a patch because they were so severe I could hardly sleep, but now I am beginning to wonder if they don't hinder my metabolism and weight…

Finished my first full week and lost 1.6 lbs since I began tracking- down only 4.6 since january, so that is great progress for one week. At this rate I will make it to Christmas in great shape- literally. I have a business trip in late October- would REALLY like to fit into one of my favorite suits rather than buy a new…

Thanks- I got it! :smile:

Not sure if I made it in or not- can you let me know? I am finishing my first full week tomorrow- getting the hang of this!

I'm in. My name is Penny. I have never done a challenge before and I just started on MFP 5 days ago- looking for a way to get connected to a group of people and this seems reasonable and fun. Looking forward to it! I gained 15 lbs in a little over a year and I have had a really hard time staying motivated and losing it- I…
