Hi, Team! I was progressing well towards my weight loss goal a couple of years ago and then got distracted by work and other things. Now, I'm back within 10lbs of my heaviest and hope that I can start losing again. This was one of my favorite challenges, so hopefully it will help me reestablish healthier habits. Best of…

Checking in about my goals for the week: 1) Log food accurately, every day--DONE! 2) Exercise for at least 30 minutes/day, Mon-Sat--Averaged 76 minutes/day! 3) Celebrate refocusing on my health--Had an Iron Chef watching/tapas eating party with my best friend:) And, today, I rest. Ahhh... Tomorrow, I'll get working on some…

Here are my goals for the week: 1) Log food accurately, every day. 2) Exercise for at least 30 minutes/day, Mon-Sat. 3) Celebrate refocusing on my health.

Oh, THIS is where all the cool kids are! I'm in for 15 miles/week. I'm so glad I climbed out of my hole and started logging and exercising again. Thanks for being so inspiring, guys.

Hi! I'm Sue and I think I started doing these challenges last Spring and then dropped off of MFP at the end of the year. I'm back and trying to get back into healthier habits. A little break is good, but 3 months was way too long... I live in Oakland, CA with my 16yo son and my 84yo dog/husband (I've been with him longer…

What a timely thread! I just came through a long period of binge eating and it caused me to gain back 19 pounds, which I'd worked really hard to lose. It only took a short while to gain that, but it had taken me 5 months to lose it. Thanks to all of you for sharing your experience, strength, and hope. This was the perfect…

Hey, Everyone! I'm jumping in a bit late, but I made a decision on Sunday to get back to a healthier lifestyle. So, my goals for this week, 3/30-4/6 are: 1) Log all of my food every day. 2) Exercise at least 30 minutes, Mon-Sat. 3) Reconnect with MFP friends. So far, so good!

Woohoo! Veronica's doing a 5K! Cumberlandgrammy's trying her hand at costuming and acting! Stephanie's in training for a half marathon! You women are so inspirational! I'm glad I had time to peek in, between work and stand-up, to see what amazing things you're all doing. I've had Aunt Flo visiting all week, so I haven't…

This new format is strange, but nice! This is a pic of some of my family, at my birthday party. I think the easy ability to insert pictures is probably the best new feature of this new format. I've been working a lot more, lately. I miss my free time, but am enjoying earning more money and doing stand-up again. I haven't…

Congrats, Squiressara! Good luck staying positive, Marygirl05! I am hoping to get myself back on track with my exercise, this week. Today, I plan to do some major house cleaning and take a nice walk around the lake. I've been super busy lately and don't want to fall off the exercise wagon...

Thanks for starting up the October thread, Stephanie! I've been so busy, lately! Stand-up is taking up a lot of space in my life and then this week I was trying to finish up a monster report for my day job. Some days, it's all I can do to log my food. I really want to get back on track with more vigorous exercise. For…

Happy Monday, Warrior Women! I'm sorry I've been out the past week. I had a crazy, busy week and could barely log. On top of my usual consulting work, I had 2 large agency trainings, 6 shows, and a report to the SF board of supervisors. And, on top of that, I had one of those annoying, heavy periods. It was a trial just to…

I'm still holding steady at 174:( It is TOM, so I'm trying not to be too bummed out. Hopefully, my weight will be lower by next Sunday. I've been stuck in the 170's for a while and really hope that I can change that during this challenge.

This week's September fitness goals check-in: 1) Walk an average of 7500 steps/day, 6 days/week... Did it! 2) Do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, 3x/week... Done! 3) Have as many spontaneous dance parties as possible... Absolutely! How was your week?

Happy Saturday! Great job making weather, Susan! My goals are to 1) Do my last 30 Day Shred workout of the week; 2) Take a long walk; 3) Keep my calories under goal.

Good Morning, Warrior Women! Doing stand-up has shifted my sleep schedule back a few hours and I'm rediscovering my love for late nights. This is not great, since I still have a day job, although it's rare that I have an early meeting. It has wreaked a bit of havoc with my eating patterns too, but I'm sure I'll work it…

Stephanie, YES! I can sync again, with my brand new Fitbit. This one seems even better. I like that they keep improving it. Did you notice we both have the same number of pounds to go?! I may reach for another 20, when I get to my goal, but I'll keep you posted. I also prefer the great outdoors, but commuting year round in…

Hey, Local MFP Friends! I've decided to host a potluck for all of my local MFP friends and thought I'd put a message out here, since I don't think all of you who've responded to this post are on my friend list. I don't know about you, but I've gotten really good at cooking delicious, nutritious meals over the past 9 months…

Hey, Warrior Women! I just got back from another rousing night of stand-up comedy. I ran into an old friend and he asked about my youngest son & I thought I'd give you guys an update too. Sam, who I used to have to force to take an hour walk 3x/week is now voluntarily taking walks 6x/week and doing a strength &…

I generally work out, before my work day begins. Once the day starts, it's too easy for family and work issues to interfere with my plan. Also, I notice I'm much more likely to do a 2nd workout later in the day, if my first one was early in the morning. I also find I'm generally more productive, when I work out in the…

Hi, Warrior Women! I found out this week that I needed to modify my September goals, since the 30DS isn't meant to be done every day. So, now my goals are... 1) Walk an average of 7500 steps/day, 6 days/week. 2) Do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, 3 days/week. 3) Have as many spontaneous dance parties as possible;) AND, I'm…

My goals for today: 1) Do yoga 2) Have a dance party 3) Stay under calorie goal

Jodi, if you're interested in the 30 Day Shred, all 3 levels are on You Tube. Your ambitious goals are so admirable! You have been kicking @$$!!! Stephanie, thanks for the encouragement on the 30DS! It was actually harder today, since I was sore from yesterday. After I did it, I had to go into the city for a meeting and…

Happy September, Warrior Women! I started out the month with a BANG! First thing this morning, my friend Helena and I walked around the lake. Then, after lunch, I did JM's 30 Day Shred. I was kind of dreading it, because the last time I tried one of her videos I only lasted 5 minutes. But, I made it through all 27 minutes…

These were my August goals: 1) Do yoga daily. 2) Walk at least 7500 steps/day, 6 days/week. 3) Do circuit training class twice/week. 4) Lift weights twice/week. 5) Have as many spontaneous dance parties as possible;) I only achieved #'s 2 & 5! Boy, I really sucked at keeping to my fitness goals this month. I think the move…

Alright, Warrior Women, I put one of my old videos up on youtube for you! http://youtu.be/DSLeGsFIA7g How's everyone doing on their fitness goals? This is my first day back from my diet break and it's going pretty well. I still need to burn more calories, but I'm well below my calorie goal. I decided to go for a 20%…

Jodi, you are KICKING @$$!!! Wow, what a phenom you are! I am so happy for you:) If I were you, I'd put more mirrors all around your house, so you can see yourself at every angle and in every light and realize that you're BEAUTIFUL! That's wonderful that Jovan is already ready to go back to work. That should help with the…
