Awesome! You look great!!! How exciting.

Okay, so I haven't posted here since the beginning of the month. I sprained the heck out of my ankle and it took a bit to heal. Life gets in the way. But, I just added all of my miles walked/jogged this month, and my total is 55.66. My goal was 60. Is this group continuing or another one starting?

Hot hot hot! I love it. :-) Love the transformation. Love the confidence. You found that sexy, I can tell! We are close in what we've lost and where we're at. How long did it take you to lose it, and what did you do to make it happen?

I'm on board! I'm going to set my goal up from 50 last month to 60 this month. That's still a little lowish, but I've got other things I want to do also (yoga, pilates, toying with the idea of Jiu Jitsu, but depends on if the deal I want is still available or not!). I love that I hit my goal for last month, even on a gimpy…

Last week/final report: 9/24: 2.5 miles 9/25: .75 miles 9/26: .63 miles 9/27: 1.88 miles 9/28: .75 miles 9/30: 4.5 miles Total for the week: 11 miles Total gone: 55.5 miles I did hit my goal. I wasn't so sure about this week because I sprained my ankle/foot badly on Tuesday. But I did smaller walks when/where I could and…

Reading everyone else's replies makes me feel less like wiener for my odd discoveries and laughing at myself. Like, the lump I thought I had in my upper arm...muscle. HA. Ring size, absolutely. I keep hoping that hubs will catch a hint and get mine fixed or buy me a new snappy one. So far no luck. I guess it'll take me…

Checking in for the past week: 9/17: 3.5 miles 9/19: 3.75 miles 9/20: .75 miles 9/21: 4.5 miles 9/23: 3.75 miles Total for the week: 18.75 miles Total gone: 44.5 miles Total left: 5.5 miles!!!! Happy dance!

Weekly update: 9/11: 1.25 miles 9/12: 3 miles 9/13: 1.25 miles 9/14: 3.75 miles 9/16: 3 miles Total for the week: 12.25 Total gone: 25.75 Total left: 24.25

I've had two fabulous ones. First of all, I was mistaken for a hussy. ;-) The landlord that owns the house across the way from me is only there a few times a year (she rents to students). She saw me and thought that my husband was running around with some younger thinner girl. She saw my truck in the driveway, she assumed…

Checking in with update: 9/6: 1 mile 9/7: 4 miles 9/10: 4.25 miles 13.5 miles down, 36.5 miles to go. I'd better get my butt in gear!! I *WILL* hit this goal.

I love this thread. I've come across a ton of things as I've dropped my 118 lbs. I mowed my back yard last night in shorts and a sports bra. That was a BIG DEAL for me. I've experienced a lot of these other things too, seat belt extender no longer needed on the plane was a pretty big one. Discovering muscles in my arms,…

So far: 9/4: 1.25 miles (walk) 9/5: 3 miles (interval jog/walk) 4.25 miles, 45.75 to go.

I just joined this group. It's been a spell since I've done a move-yer-butt kind of a challenge. I've been doing yoga and jogging lately, haven't been to the gym in quite some time, kinda swapped out (yoga not available at my gym). I see that this is a continuing group, which I really like. I'm going to set my goal for 50…

Kick butt! I'm right where you are now, and I'm down from 293. It's an awesome feeling, isn't it?!??!!! You look great!!! :-)

I'm 5'5" and my goal is 150. I'm currently 188, down 105 lbs so far. I'm a curvy girl with a larger frame, anything below 145 and I look ill and have zero energy, so I figured a healthy, muscular, toned 150 would work just fine and dandy. Then, to maintain... ;-)

I haven't updated in a bit, so here's my rundown since I joined this challenge: 5/1 1.5 miles walk/jog 5/2 3 miles walk/jog 5/3 .87 miles walk 5/4 3 miles walk/jog 5/6 4.17 walk 5/7 2 walk/jog 5/8 1.40 jog 5/9 3 walk/jog Total: 18.94 miles down, 31.1 to go!

Congrats. It feels good to hit that 1-0-0. I'm at 101 gone and still have about..43 more to go. Still a ways, but a heck of a lot easier to digest than needing to lose 144 lbs!!! You look great, I know you feel great. Good for you.

Thanks for letting me join. I'd like to move 50 miles this month. It's not as big of a number as previous times I've done challenges, but I'm doing a fitness bootcamp that focuses more on calisthenics/circuit training rather than quantifiable distance. I'm still jogging 2x/wk and probably hit the gym at least once a week…

Can I still join this challenge?

Welcome. This is an awesome place. I've been banded since July 09 and on here about 5 months or so. Awesome place to connect with others that are on a journey too. Awesome challenges, groups/etc. :-)

Thanks for the recipe. I'll give it a try!

I really need to just suck it up and get a HRM. I do put bits of cleaning down, if it's not just.. dusting here and there.. if I'm busting serious hump, to the point that it gets me going as much as a workout (and it does if I'm doing some heavy-duty..), then I'll log it. But, just doing the dishes? No. And to further…

I do microwave frittatas, same idea. I started doing them when I was doing South Beach dieting, and it's stuck with me far beyond that. They're easy, super fast, and super delicious. Easy enough to change up to suit my mood too. For my base I use: 1 egg 1/4 c. egg substitute (Better N Eggs/etc.) or egg white 1 tbsp. FF…

Welcome! I've been banded since July 09. I've been using MFP for coming up on 3 months, was using dailyburn before that. Really good community here, and lots of awesome groups on FB that I've come across as a result of here. Lots of good monthly challenges and accountability groups. This is definitely an awesome place.…

I've lost 76 lbs, and I've made this comparison before.. my son is about to be 7 and weighs 44 lbs, I've lost like..him and a half! I jokingly make the reference that I'm working this extra b**ch off me.. ;-) Not room for 2, just for 1!!!!! Awesome job.

I hate the stairmaster..but, inclines are a trigger for my asthma. But, usually, I do tend to tackle those things that whoop me the most, just to spite the damn machine and prove that I can rather than I can't, even if it takes me forever. It's like..it makes me mad. LOL. Being mad is a good motivator for me when working…

I'm on Team 1 Mon 11/7: 7 miles Tues 11/8: 2.37 miles Wed 11/9: 3 miles Thurs 11/10: 0.83 miles Sat 11/12: 2.5 miles Sun 11/13: 4.25 miles Total for the week: 19.95 miles

I gave myself 5 years to get 100 lbs lost "naturally". This was 7 years ago or so now. I figured I'd put on 100 lbs in 5 or 6 years, I could certainly take it off, or figure something else out. I didn't want it to be the "easy answer". I was 4 years in and nowhere closer. I was coming up on 300 lbs, and I said out loud,…
