Age: 36 Height: 5'6" SW: 236.2 (9/30/21) CW: 224.4 1st Goal: 200 UGW: 150 February Goals: * Get back on track * Workout 3-5 times per week * weight 220 * Work on organizing my life/house (my resolution) I'm excited to find this group! I lost 10 lbs in October and November and got slack through the holidays, but maintained…

I'm super late here, but I seriously need this group in my life. Started the end of September and slacked over the holidays and I'm now getting back on track again after my entire house has been dealing with covid the last 2 weeks. I am a SAHM of 4, (3,4,13,15). I lived religiously on MFP after my 2nd and lost 20lbs then…

My typical day before... Breakfast- coffee with 1/2 tablespoon sugar and French vanilla creamer. About once every 2 weeks I got a biscuit, fries, and cinnamon biscuit from bojangles. Lunch - sandwich and chips or bowl of knorr pasta sides.... if I ate at all. Dinner - fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn. After…

I can't decide what my activity level should be either. I'm a sahm with 2 toddlers and 2 teens. I'm randomly doing household chores and playing with kids all day. Without exercise I normally average 6-7k steps per day. Then some days is only 4k. I linked my fitbit and eat about 50% of exercise calories. I'm currently set…

Same! It seems like everytime I get in the groove of eating better and working out something always happens and throws me off. Would love some friends who understand the struggle.

I'm 5'6" and goal is 150, then go from there. I have a larger build and look unhealthily skinny under 130. My ribs and hip bones are clearly visible then. Although, that was 13 years and 4 kids ago.

I'm trying to figure this out too. Does something need to be adjusted somewhere for it to calculate the calories burned from the fitbit? Right now with about 5k steps its showing almost 900 calories added for exercise. I know this isn't correct and shouldn't be any but how do I fix it?

Mom of 5... 17, 12, 10, 1.5, and 6 months. I joined MFP 10 years ago but haven't been on in a few years. Now need to lose all this extra weight.

Thank you! I have the same problem and couldn't figure out why it made my hands hurt to do positions like down dog.

My goal for today is to do week 3 - day 1 of c25k and some pilates. Also to drink tons of water.

Unfortunately daily because we are living with them right now. :frown: Before that the most we went would be 2 weeks without seeing them.

I will have to try this one too!

I bought mine from a local shop for $350. It is made by Impressions.

With being a SAHM I workout whenever I get the chance. I prefer mornings after taking my son to school. If I keep pushing it later into the day the more likely I am to not do it. I also can't eat or drink for about an hour and a half before working out so it's easier in the morning. As long as you are getting it done it…

I would take a day off and try day 3 of week 5 again. If I did better on the second try I would continue with week 6, otherwise repeat week 5. I'm currently only on week 2 though.

go to coolrunnings.com They have an awsome couch 2 5k program to get you going.

First - Garth Brooks Last - Metallica

1.) Avon super extend extreme mascara 2.) Avon magix cashmere finish foundation 3.) Avon glimmersticks eyeliners 4.) Avon glazewear lip gloss 5.) Avon anew rejuvenate face wash 6.) Avon clearskin spot treatment It's a good thing I sell it since I'm so addicted to it.

lettuce, spinach, cheese, tomato, pineapple, broccoli, carrots

I don't get out much but on the rare occassion that I do I don't worry about what I drink. I usually drink beer, rum and coke, or occassionally a margaritta or daquari. At home I generally drink white russian, red bull and vodka, beer. I'm not a wine drinker, I tend to finish the entire bottle sometimes 2.

I think you should set your starting goal to 130 and then reassess once you get there. 130 could look completely different on you now then it did when you were there before.

It isn't a 'sweetener', but I use lemon in my green tea. It gives it a little flavor and I love it. You can also use oranges, grapes, etc.

I weigh everyday. I like to see how the previous day's food/exercise effects me. I don't get frustrated when the numbers go up, I just think about what've done that I need to change.

If you drink that many of them I wouldn't suggest going cold turkey on them unless you are extrenely strict. It would might be better for you to cut down to every other day, then every 2-3 days and so on until you are totally off of them. This will help ease the caffiene withdrawls you'll go through.

I just started this again today. I've tried several times, but never seem to make it through. I have seen awesome results from the few times that I've done it.

YES! Love the Old Navy bootcut jeans. Although this could be because this is the only place that I can find a long that is actually affordable.

Mine have faded and I actually forget that I have the. If I ever get fit enough to weat a bikini again I definately will be!! I HATE one piece suits and would absolutely LOVE to be able to wear a bikini again... stretch marks and all!
