Hello Everyone!! Wish you all a very happy, healthy & prosperous new year!! I've been on this site everyday but have either had no time or was too tired & lazy to completely log calories and read through all posts. Same is the case today but I hope to be back in action and catch up with all of you by the end of this week.…

Bump!! Haven't hit the gym in the couple of few days but will start today....have some catching up to do...

I love the name for the new thread. And, with the name goes the hearts ticker that robin52077 has!! So excited :love: :drinker:

I'm in too. I'll be running & using the elliptical.

Quick update ---- I did weigh-in at 146.5lbs!!!!!!! I'm so happy but still can't believe it. In fact, for some reason I'm not even comfortable logging it since I feel it's just temporary and will see a gain tomorrow. But I'm just about to log it...yayy!! And I have 1.5lbs to go for this month's goal...WI on 1/3..

Good Morning!! Laura – That’s awesome...you have just 1.5lbs to go & 10 days. You can do it even with a couple of cheat meals!! Good luck!! Inskydiamonds – Congrats on your loss & reaching the half way mark! And, good to know that all your pains are gone now :) About your Dad, I think you will need to keep convincing him.…

Great work....very impressive!

Hahaha...I like it!!

Morning!! I'm so excited about the Warrior Dash. This will be my first race, unless I end up doing something before Aug. Anway, I haven't registered yet since the site isn't opening up properly on my system at work. Will do it once I get home. My hubby's also agreed to go for it....I'm jumping with joy :D

If it's a 5k and in August, I can do it too...will look into it a bit later but it'll fun..and I'd love meeting all of you...yippe!! I suppose all of you are registering for the saturday one, true?

Gaum – Happy Birthday Week!! And, like you said, things will definitely work out for you…they always do, and for the better. Aly – Hope your day ended better yesterday! Inskydiamonds – congrats on the loss! Try not to be so stressed, specially about exams. They are important but not to the extent where they start hampering…

Hello!! I’ve been super lazy in keeping up with this thread…I’m definitely going to make more effort from on…All of you are so helpful and so motivating… laura – awesome loss!! Meag – congrats on the loss & on reaching your goal! And, wish you a very happy birthday weekend!!! Rai – you are absolutely right...this is a…

And what I really meant by running more is for longer duration. I'm not very pleased with my C25K progress and based on your replies I think the reason maybe because I'm using the elliptical everyday. Feel like my body needs me to do something else. I used to do a combination of elliptical, cycling & walking at my previous…

Wow...that was quick!! Thank you so much for all your inputs. I do get bored with doing the elliptical 5 days a week. But the problem is that I don't like the bike in my gym (it's very uncomfortable) and I had been trying to concentrate on legs & hips since that's where I need to get the fat out of. I'll look for an indoor…

I need some time to catch up with all of you but in the mean time I have a question for the runners and those who may have any insight. I've been trying C25K for a while and now I'm start from week 4 again today, with the intention of doing each week twice. My normal workout schedule for the past 2-3 months has been one of…

wardiemelissa - Be very careful when crossing streets. Hate such drivers who don't want to stop or even slow down. I went to the gym today after 15 days and feeling good. Hope my legs don't hurt too bad tomorrow. I also weighed myself & I've gained 1.5 lbs --- much better than expected. So, now my weight loss goal for this…

Hello!! So good to see that everyone's done pretty well in November, except for me :D I had an amazing vacation. The trip was very hectic specially since we drove to Chicago frm CT & back. Not to forget all the late nights and the drinking & eating all the time. I haven't weighed myself yet so don't know how much damage…

Sounds yum...I know I'll like it but hope hubby likes it too...Thanks for posting Meag!

I'm in too....really need to up my fiber intake. However, I'll mostly start tomorrow since I'm not sure if I'll be able to go to the gym tonight as I got back from my vacation laet last night & am all drowsy. And, I weigh myself in the gym, so I'll have to go there to get my starting weight. This is such a great challenge.…

HUGS!! I have consulted 3 doctors for PCOS and 2 of them told me that I don't need any medication but definitely need to lose weight. It's been constant up & down with the weight. When I lose, I see improvement in my symptoms, get relaxed and stop taking caring of myself, gain weight again making the symptoms worse, and…

:) spellbinder (Neha) - 27 yrs - Hartford, CT Sorry ladies, again I have no time..will probably be able to reply only after thanksgiving weekend. But I keep reading your posts on & off. Take care!!

saw some others in this thread post their age & location too....is there a reason why everyone's doing that?

Hey Girls!! I miss being on MFP now. I'm completely loaded with office work & getting ready for vacation that I have no time to read any messages or even relax for a bit. But I'm not complaining, I'm going to enjoy next week and I'm going to answers the QOTDs. QOTD (yesterday): Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Fudge,…

Good to see you girls planning for a half marathon. I'd love to be there some day soon. I'm still struggling with C25K but I'm determined to to do it even if I have to start all over again. Today is weigh-in day & I'm pleased to say that I've lost 1 pound this week. I must be doing something right since I wasn't expecting…

selkieghost - you are very brave!! i wouldn't set any such notifications...but good that you are so determined and courageous :) Hope you are doing better now :) How's everyone doing?? We are 2 days away from our final weigh-in now!! I haven't been doing good but it's not because I didn't want to, the circumstances were…

Good Morning Ladies!! I've been off-track the past 2-3 weeks but I'm definitely back & already pushing myself. Because of the way things have been, I've decided to change my goals a bit. Goals are to have 1 serving of fruit everyday this month and ensure I don't go over calories that would be needed to maintain my weight…

bump :)

I’m not sure I like the thought of having anything with pumpkin, though I’ve never tried anything pumpkin before, but since so many of you like it I’m definitely going to give it a try. TORthecarrort – welcome to the group & good luck for your goals!! meggon – You are doing really well. Congratulations on your run &…
