ha! all of the above, plus shaving my armpits, when I lose weight it gets trickier... they're actually PITS lol. And I'm really boney naturally, and my collar bone always pokes out and for some reason that's the place I lose weight first. Like you can see my rib bones AND my muffin top at the same time. So weird.

I would eat what you can, but don't say "the only thing that sounds good is a cheeseburger and fries" ;p a day or 2 of saltines and gatorade won't ruin your diet though. They do have the 1/2 sugar and sugar free Gatorades though, you might try those and see if you like them.

Hey everyone! I suck at posting on the boards, but if you accept my friend request I'll comment on your newsfeed stuff! :) I have 2 little girls, 3 and 2 years old. I gained 50lbs. with each of them, but only had 4 months inbetween pregnancies, so I didn't lose much of the first 50 before I gained the 2nd! But... I lost…

Count me in! SW - 189.0 lbs (Sunday Jan 1) Week 1 - xxx lbs (Sunday Jan 8 ) Week 2 - xxx lbs (Sunday Jan 15) Week 3 - xxx lbs (Sunday Jan 22) Week 4 - xxx lbs (Sunday Jan 29) Total lost - xx lbs (Thursday Feb 1)

I weighed on New Year's Day and still had no loss. So my finishing weight was 189.0, a loss of 4lb for the month. Not quite what I wanted :( I'm still on track though, so I'm hoping to see some loss next week!

no loss. boo. 189 as of this morning, which is a little bit better than the 190.6 I saw last night which greatly depressed me. Still depressed I didn't lose anything because I kicked my butt all week and only slacked off for the weekend. Seems like I should still lose after all that. Oh well, one more "cheat day" tomorrow,…

I'm so depressed. I've been weighing every day to keep me on track and motivating... and I've been steadily losing .5 lb or so a day. Well in the last 2 days I've gained back 4.6 lbs... SO MAD at myself! I kept the Christmas eating pretty much under control until today and today was just really bad, so I'm crossing my…

ha, I didn't know different areas called jumping jacks different things. I probably won't be participating in this because I won't want to do anything on top of the routine I already do. Y'all have at it though!

I have a massage gift card that I've been meaning to use, so I'm using that as my first reward. I was trying to lose 10lb in December, so if I hit that goal I'm going to call and schedule that massage! :)

I'm not disappointed! I worked my *kitten* off this week at Zumba and stayed under on calories almost every day (didn't stay under on our anniversary-- big date, or yesterday-- my "rest" day and I made christmas cookies with my girls, but every other day I was usually under by 200-300) Starting weight- 193.8 Weight today-…

I'll stick around! we can do another 5 lbs. by Valentine's! :)

oh man, Monday weigh in? ok! that'll help keep me in check over the weekend :) I'll be back on Monday to check in!

oh, are we not going to weigh in every week until the 1st? I think that would help with accountability :) maybe on Fridays?

what day are we using as our official weigh in day?

I would count anything that is mostly water and doesn't have caffeine. Decaf tea, crystal light, etc.

I usually don't change what MFP says unless I'm changing it to what my heartrate monitor says. MFP usually says a lower calorie burn than what the machine says, so I prefer to err on the side of less calories burned

the only veggie I really like is raw broccoli, so I eat that for a snack a lot (with ranch dip I make from low fat sour cream and hidden valley ranch seasoning packet). another REALLY good lunch is a pita stuffed with tuna (out of a can), black olives, some cheese and a little mayo. I love it! Sometimes I put a slice of…

I did the couch to 5K, it works! I ran 2 5Ks that year and it really kept me going knowing I just had to do a little bit at a time. I started that when I first started with MFP last year. I lost a bunch of weight (and now have gained it all back :( ). I've actually thought about doing C25K again just because it worked so…

the class that I go to is mostly hip hop with a little latin/salsa type stuff mixed in so she can call it "zumba", I think each instructor has their own way of teaching. Seriously girls, I love it! I'm not a dancer or anything, I look totally stupid when I'm doing it, but everyone else (except the instructor) does too! :)

there are A LOT of threads concerning this topic. Personally, I don't always eat them all back. I always eat at least 1200 calories (not necessary net calories- which would be eating all my exercise calories). Mainly I'll use my workout calories if I'm hungry and need a bigger lunch/dinner or another snack. But, if I'm not…

I felt so stupid doing it the first few times, but seriously, I love it. It's HARD, but I love it. It's nice to have a really hard workout that I actually look forward to doing! I say just go for it! The first few times is harder because you don't know the songs yet so you're a step behind 1/2 the time, but the more you…

I'm in! I'm having the hardest time getting motivated to keep eating healthy (longer than 2 weeks) and I need some sort of accountability or something! I had great success on MFP last year, but thought I could do it on my own and FAILED... gained back all the weight :( So, I'm back and I really want this weight gone for…

I don't miss anything... I give myself a cheat day once a week when I can eat anything I want! I never feel too deprived and the weight is still coming off :)

Ok, I went back and looked. I only got 1 point... sorry guys. I don't get a chance to do cardio with my girls- they hate the stroller and walking with them isn't cardio. I'm joining a gym again on Friday, so I'll get to use the childcare there ;) Starting MFP Weight- 197 Starting SAHMU Weight - 193 Week 1 Weight- 193 Week…

Hey girls, I'm still here! I just don't have time to come on every day, but I did manage to weigh in this morning before my kids took over the tv (I use my Wii Fit to keep track of my weight). I forget how the points work... I guess I need to go back and look. Are the weeks from Wed.-Wed. Or Sunday-Saturday?

Hey black team! My name's Sara, I'm a sahm to 2 (thus the screen name) little girls, the oldest will be 3 on Sunday and the youngest will be 2 in September. Last year I did so great watching what I ate and exercising and I lost a bunch of weight, but I recently got off track and gained a bunch of it back :( I'm motivated…

awesome! I don't have time to be the captain, but for whoever takes on that role, will you post the link to that thread here? That way I don't have to go searching all through the motivation boards to see if it's been made yet. Thanks so much!

Is it too late to join? I think maybe the black team still has room? If so, I'd love to join! This is exactly what I'm looking for... a smaller group to help me stay accountable. I lost almost 30 lbs and then in 6 months of slacking on here I gained almost all of it back :( I'm determined to get it off and keep it off…

Tina- good luck on your 5K! I'm running my 2nd one in March :) My best friend is going to run this one with me, she was pregnant when I ran my 1st one and now she's working on getting the baby weight off, so she's training to run it with me! Also, I think most places actually do put their 1st round of bathing suits out…

I'm in again, I slacked posting last month getting busy with the holidays, but I'm hoping to keep up this month! Last month I lost 1 lb, so I didn't gain, but I wanted to lose 5, so still a let down. If I lose 5 lbs this month I'll be at my goal weight! :happy dance: January start weight- 165.3
