Thanks to all of you! You have helped me a lot. I have done this before and I can do it again...and yes, I need to make it a lifestyle change, not just losing weight for an occasion, for example. I will go ahead and start over with my new lifestyle plan and work on getting pregnant..as many of you mentioned, it may take a…

Thanks everyone...I need to come to these boards for support more often. I am just having a pitty party for myself today. I hope tomorrow is a better day and I can meet this head on.

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Starting back to MFP TODAY! Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? No What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Nothing! What would I have done differently? Everything What is today's personal goals? Stay within my calorie goal and drink WATER!!! Exercise weekly progress…

I, personally, have to eat before working out. I eat something that has some protein for sure. I give myself at least 45 min-1 hour to digest. Everyone is different...but, there is nothing worse that losing steam during your work-out from lack of nutrition. Did you feel or see a difference eating before vs after? Do what…

Thanks to everyone here! Just measured and counted my breakfast :) One day at a time. :wink:

Thanks everyone! I just don't understand why I keep repeating my bad habits. I have a history of losing weight and then out of no where, just stopping my healthy lifestyle.

Congrats! Way to Go!:smile:

Thanks everyone! I am going to research them....the great advice is very much appreciated. I'll let you know what we come up with!:happy:

Hi- My fiance and I are thinking of going to a Sandals resort for our Honeymoon. Anyone been before? Thanks!

I love FAGE 0% yogurt. I love it with a little honey, fruit, or granola. It's soooo very yummy. It's good in recipes, too...instead of sour cream. :happy:

I know how you feel. :ohwell: Take it one day at a time...set some short-term and long-term goals that are realistic for you. I find that, for me, if I look at the '40' pounds I want to lose, I get overwhelmed! If I look at it day by day or week by week , it doesn't feel so unreachable. Log your food intake and excercise…

I do what is realistic for my schedule and my body. I go to the gym 5 days a week now...3 days are weights/strength training with 30 min of cardio. The other 2 days are straight cardio for 45 minutes, then I rest 2 days. Oh, and one of those days is with a trainer...so I feel that is good for me at this time. I plan on…

Got it! :) GO RED TEAM! :glasses:

That is a challenge for me since I don't really like water...But, I can do it! :drinker:

I live near Cleveland, OH (just move here in July 08)...from Nebraska originally.....lived in Connecticut for 10 years prior to OH. ... Moving to Charlotte, NC in July 09. Whew! :smile:

Nice Work! Keep it up!:wink:

I normally like to be done with my workout and home by 7pm...last night I didn't get home from the gym until after 8:30pm and yes..it kept me up. I am sure everyone is different, but it takes me a while to come down from a workout. Hope you can get a work out in tomorrow! :)

You can also check out the food database on here...it has a lot of the sushi and serving sizes. I found it to be helpful and not to mention, shocking at the same time! I didn't realize how much I was taking in with those 'little' bites of sushi. :grumble:

I like morning star's veggie burgers and their 'chicken' patties. :smile:

Hi fellow Red Team members! I had a good day yesterday, both nutritionally and physically. My trainer really pushed me and I pushed myself with my cardio. I am thinking about taking a Spin class tonight..I haven't been to one in some time, but love the class! How's everyone doing?

I wouldn't worry about that half of a pound..Drink lots of water! And awesome job with kickboxing..I wish I could do it, I am so not coordinated!:ohwell:

Thanks!

I am new to MFP and would like to join a team...any takers? :wink: Thanks!

You can do it! Set some short-term and long-term goals to keep you focused. I am new to this site and I find it VERY helpful. Everyone is very nice on here and it's so easy to use the site. Good luck!:happy:

Hi! I am new to MFP and was wondering how does one join a team on here? Thanks!

Good luck! You can do it! :wink:

Drink lots of water, space your meals out throughout the day, and eat foods that are higher in fiber to keep you fuller longer...anyway, those are some things that work for me. Good luck, you can do it!

I agree with some of the above posters..stay with the old scale! Also, you could hit the mall to walk if you can't get outside today. Stick with this, you can do it! :happy:

Nice work! Keep it up!:bigsmile:
