  • I started using the Fitbit One three days ago. It has definitely motivated me to take more steps (walking and running) every day. I know it is just a little device...but I just can't disappoint it and get less than 10,000 steps a day. :) Although I'm not sure how to add friends, and I'm sure having Fitbit friends would be…
  • Congrats on your success! You look great!! I have three boys...and it is hard to fit in the time when the kids always need something...but you are doing it. Great job!!
  • I love chocolate and pizza! Add me! My motto is everything in moderation. If I deprive myself of the stuff I love...I will quit before I make any progress.
  • My name is Mandy too. Add me! I've been on the site for awhile...lost 25 pounds last Spring...gained 12 of it back over the Summer/Winter. I'm back in the game...this site is a huge help. Anyone else on this post...feel free to add me as well.
  • Sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing!
  • Congrats on your success! You look amazing! So happy that your prayers were answered. I'm sure your boys are so proud of you. It has to feel so good to be able to be active and enjoy life with them. Thanks for sharing your story. I don't know you...but I'm smiling for you!!
  • Woo Hoo for you!! Congrats on your success! I did two miles tonight without stopping. I couldn't run 1/4 of a mile without wanting to die before. You are such an inspiration...and your stories always motivate me! I'm still looking to do my first 5K. If you can do 13 miles...I can do 3! :)
  • Pizza...Oreos...Chips...Beer! The difference...I am totally fine with small portions now. I don't have to eat a half a pizza, 10 oreos, or half a bag of chips. My plan all along has been everything in moderation. Any other time I tried to lose weight, I totally cut out the things I loved...and gave up after a month or two.…
  • Do you use a heart rate monitor to track your calories burned during exercise? If not...you may be over-estimating your calories burned. Before I got my HRM...and I was using MFP estimates...my calories burned were way over what they should have been. Everyone says to eat back your exercise calories...but if you didn't…
  • Did someone say cocktails? I love them! :) The summer time is definitely harder for me than the winter. A bbq is just not a bbq without beer. I do not drink during the week, and try to only pick one day/night to drink on the weekend. Anyone can add me. I'm always looking for some dedicated friends!!
  • Congrats!! That is awesome!!!
  • I have done this DVD off and on for the past 6 months. I love to mix it in with whatever else I am doing. I did Level 3 last night. I took a couple 5 second breathers...but pretty much did the entire workout. The good news...it does get eaiser. I could not do the side lunges at all when I started, and now I do them…
  • I say...have it...FOR SURE!! I have not given up anything. I have lost 17 pounds in 2 months. I make way smarter food decision and eat much less than I did before. I find when I eat something like pizza, cheeseburger, or fries...I eat way less than I did 2 months ago. I could easily eat four pieces of pizza. Now...I will…
  • Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, and Ripped in 30. I am a single mom of three kids, going to the gym is next to impossible. Even on days it could happen, my boys don't want to be sitting in a gym daycare while I workout. P90X is a great program...but it is 60 to 90 minutes a day. 30 minutes workouts fit better into my…
  • Sound great...my kids might even eat them! Thanks for sharing.
  • I'm Mandy 31 years old 5'9" SW 170 CW 155 GW 150...or it was. Now that I am getting closer to it...I'm thinking 145 would be better. I love Jillian Michaels, and I wouldn't say I'm a runner yet...but I have developed a new love for it.
  • I care!! That is awesome! :happy:
  • Awesome job!! Congrats on your success!!!
  • Add me. I have been using the site for about two months...and I'm on every single day. I'm always up for offering postive thoughts and motivation. Oh...and did you mention chocolate...I love chocolate!! It is all about moderation. Instead of having a king size snickers bar, I have one Dove dark chocolate. The funny thing…
  • I'm 31...mom to three boys...11, 9 and 4. I joined MFP January 2nd, and have been on it several times (okay...sometimes up to 30 times) ever day since then. Anyone can add me! I love friends that log in every day...log their exercise and their food. It is great to have so many friends doing the same thing I am doing...and…
  • I like the Kashi bars. Dark Chocolate Coconut!! How can you go wrong with a name like that.
  • Order it now! There are modifications for most of the moves. If there isn't...she will tell you that she has 400 lb people that can do this and so can you. If that doesn't get you moving...I don't know what will. For me...she is the easiest person on a DVD to stick with and follow...and you feel like you got a really good…
  • I'll send you a request! Anyone can add me that wants more friends. I have been using the site for a month and a half and I'm hooked. I can't go a day without MFP in my life.
  • I love Jillian!! I think her body is awesome in 30 Day Shred. It is five times more awesome in Ripped in 30...if that is even possible! Her voice does not bother me at all, and there is just something about her that keeps me going. It might be how she keeps telling me that she has 400 pound people that can do it, and so…
  • I love Jillian Michaels! Her videos are great for toning, and you can get them pretty cheap on Amazon. I have the 30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30, and Six Week Six Pack. She is so positive and motivating, and keeps you going, like she is actually in the room with you. The best is when she tells you that she has 400 pound people…
