Hi, I'm Akyra. I have had many struggles with my weight as well. Add me. I'll help u and can use the help as well.

Add me! :) I have a goal of 100 lbs and could use the motivation and accountability as well.

I'm going for 100 pounds also... we could do this together! :)

I was somewhat confused also but I believe the Body Media device comes up with your BMR and then does the subtraction of the amount of calories needed to meet your weight loss goal. With information, it syncs with MFP and adjusts your allowed calories. I mainly follow the Body Media app to monitor my goals. Also the net…

great job!!! doing awesome!!!

thanks!! i do think it is possible! i believe it is breaking up and im starting to feel more muscle surfacing!! I will keep it and keep everyone updated on the results!

Don't feel bad. All of us have off days! But the key is to not let EVERYDAY be an off day!! We will fall into traps and fall short of our expectations but that best thing is, you can start over tomorrow!! :)

hummmm!!! *scratching my head* My motivation is...... the feeling I get after a good workout! I love that high I get after I have given it my all and really pushed through my workouts! I also like a challenging workout. If I have a workout that doesn't challenge me then I tend to slack off a lot. My motivation to eat right…

that does count!!! glad you feel great!!! :)

Ok.... great!!!

i kinda live off comfort food too! i have been eating ice cream almost everyday! but i just do it in moderation! :) and i love my rice and pasta too but i just try eat before 8pm every night...... and great job on the 2inchs!!! it's so exciting, isn't it!! :)

great job lady!!! one inch counts BIG!!!! and good job on not having any item from any of the restaurants!!! :)

I actually count my cleaning and shopping calories but only when I am doing it for more than an hour! They do count because your BMR is really the calories you burn at rest. So anything you do is helping to burn more calories..... but i personally think there is no wrong way to do it! do what works for you!! :)

That is awesome!!! 10% body fat!! Great!!! and good job on just tasting!!!

Great job on getting down 2 pounds!!! :) Next weigh in is Monday!! I'm so ready to see what my results will be!!!

lol!! OK! I WILL!!! My week has been kind of a struggle too! I am here in spirit but not much in the group! Im still pushing but I am seriously trying to adjust to these kids being out of school and trying to keep them from laying around the house just watching tv and playing the game!! that is a workout in itself!!! lol!!!

Yay!!! good for you!!! It will indeed melt away!!! Don't give up hope!!! :)

yes , it is totally possible for your body to adapt!! i am a total product of different fad diets. I USED TO STOP EATING FOR WEEKS AT A TIME, and this started when i was 11 or 12 years old. i always thought i was fat and honestly, the starving myself is what made me gain. in my adult life, i would work so much that i would…

Hi everyone!!! Im a little late today because I am a student and I started a new class today. I am already in my little rotation with everything. I decided to get a headstart on everthing so i have been going to the gym for at least an hour everyday for the past 3 days! I have done full body workouts, at least 100 leg…

I actually love baby spinach with tuna salad. Im pretty simple. I can have a good bit of that for less than 400 calories.

Welcome all the newcomers! :) Glad you are joining us! Im super excited to start our challenge! Dont forget to set your goals and get your baseline in weight and measurements, even if you dont pit it up in the discussion board! We are so gonna rock this challenge! We can do it!!! :)

Thank you all for joining us! I am feeling motivated already! I have a great feeling about this group! The main thing we need to do is focus on the goal and be disciplined. This thing, as with everything, is MENTAL!! We have to speak positive words to ourselves! WE CAN DO THIS! Please feel free to add topic for discussion…

I am planning to do exactly the same things you are Jamie! I cant clear all the junk out of my cabinets because i keep a few things for the kids but for the most part the junk i do have isnt all that bad. I think my main focus is to log all of my fooed intake and exercise because when i have it in front of me, i tend to do…

Welcome Natalie, Bikinibabe, Katie, Anna, Emma, Kalie, Mikhaila, & Jamie!! Glad you all are joining us! I really look forward to this challenge. This is my first time starting something like this so please feel free to offer any suggestions you may have for the group... Im so excited and ready to start! 2 more days…

i love insanity!!! it is really helping me tone up great deal!!! my core is so much stronger than it used to be.. i do fuss with shaun t thru the screen but insanity is really helping me!!! here is my results: <a href="http://s1078.photobucket.com/albums/w487/akyraj2006/?action=view&current=IMG_0517-1.jpg"…

i believe you should allow your body to rest at least 1 day out of the week. i used to try to workout for weeks at a time and i would burn out! the rest days gives your muscles time to heal because we are causing minor damage when we workout... :wink:

wow!! you look amazing!!! you are truly an inspiration!!!
