I will join you... I started day 1 level 1 yesterday. I did it again today although my legs are so sore I can barely walk down steps!! LOL!! I am going to stick to it, I'm getting up early for this and I will do the whole 30 days by the time I go on vacation Dec. 1.

You notice people's smiles :-)

I think if she liked the guy, she might not have minded the flowers. i had a few dates with a guy about 2 years ago at Christmastime and on our last date he had a gift bag filled with coffee-related items plus a gift card to Starbucks. I love coffee and he obviously paid attention. But I didn't have a Christmas gift for…

Super bowl party!

it's lunch time

I cut out high fructose corn syrup as much as possible and that is when I really started to lose my belly fat.

I agree.

I have a cheat day once a week too. My best friend and I have renamed Saturday to "Fatterday." It is the day we don't count calories. I am now 2 pounds away from my goal.

NSV: Yesterday I noticed these 2 bumps right at the bottom of my rib cage...could these be abs peeking out? I think they might be!

@ddboone...that's great! I did c25k a few months ago, what a wonderful program. Good luck in your 5k in April- are you already registered for it? That's a good way to keep going even when the runs start getting tougher. :smile:

"This week’s personal reflection- Think about where you were a year ago. How has your life changed between now and then?" Last year I was going to the gym 3x a week and I was doing fine. However I was not paying that much attention to what I was eating. I was refusing to use the food diary. I had lost about 20 pounds last…

I like this challenge..I can definitely do it! I already have an NSV too but I'll save it for the end of the week :-)

I'm giving a white rose with pink edges, wrapped in a red and white take-out menu from the restaurant down the street. PS...Glad I saw the rose sitting there or I would have had to give away a bobble-head of NJ's former acting governor, Richard Codey.

My downfall is 3:00 when I'm at work and want chocolate. never fails. I try to only have it on the days that I know I'm going to the gym later so I can fit it into my food diary and won't have to feel guilty about it.

These are some good ideas! I am going to share this on my facebook when I get home from work today.

Checking in- I gained 1.1 pounds this week. Could have been worse since I wasn't careful at all. CW 158.1 Back on track this week!!

I agree with Deb. It will be so much easier to keep involved now that we have this group!

I like this attitude! :happy:

I do the same thing and I am 2 lbs away from my goal so it is definitely working. I think the key is not to forbid anything that you like because then when you eat it you'll feel guilty and more likely to sabotage the hard work you've already done. If you use the food diary and plan to treat yourself sometimes, it is a…

I have an off day every weekend. My best friend and I call it Fatterday instead of Saturday. I don't count calories on Saturdays...I have still lost 19 pounds since July.

That is a very happy way to start your morning! :happy: Great job!!

Wow, that is really eye opening! Thanks for sharing!

Down 2.6 lbs this week, just 2 to go! CW:157 lbs.

I missed a week too, but here I am! For my check-in, I lost 2.6 lbs this week! I am 2 lbs away from my goal weight. 1) What was your breaking point, your “ah-ha” moment, the point that made you sign up for MFP? I was on MFP for a while but I refused to use the food diary. One day, after reading an article about surprising…

Count me in!

I spent $7.50...we bought 3 bags of candy.

Checking in! SW; 160.5 CW: 159.6

Count me in...! SW: 160.5 Christmas Goal Weight: 155

I started C25K on June 1, and I didn't really lose any weight until around mid-July, which is when I also changed my eating habits. Since then I have lost 15.5 lbs. Good luck! Running is great exercise.

Checking in: I lost 1.3 lbs this week! Yay! I weighed in on my wii fit, and I am about 1/2 pound away from my mii shrinking, I think. I hope that next week I will have that as my NSV!
