  • Hi, Warrior Women! I'm feeling all out of balance, because I had to skip my usual morning routine. I had a 7:30am dentist appointment. So, I'm trying to reset my mind, body & spirit and writing to you is the social grounding part of my morning. I've been doing yoga, since I came back in January. I do it pretty regularly,…
    in June Calorie Burn--Name Your Goal Here Comment by suejoker June 2014
  • Happy Tuesday, Warriors! Jodi, you are so funny! Thanks for joining our merry little band:) If that many goals feels overwhelming, why not simplify? If staying under your calorie goal is still hard, I'd focus on that first. It sounds like you're going to get plenty of exercise this weekend. How great that you have a horse!…

  • This is tough! Who knew I'd ever have a tough time eating more and exercising less?! I stopped myself from burning a bunch more calories, today. I imagine that it will get easier, as I get used to it. My exercise goal for this month is really more about limiting than challenging, but believe me it's challenging. It is fun…

  • From 1/7-5/15 I was eating between 1200-1300 calories/day. I probably have the healthiest diary I've seen on here, so feel free to friend me and peruse my diaries for meal ideas. I felt full most of the time and figured out, over time, how to get all of my nutrients on 1200-1300 calories/day in delicious meals & snacks. I…

  • Hey, Warrior Women! I had so much fun, this morning, cleaning the kitchen, doing laundry, and dancing around my apartment. I took a full rest day yesterday, and I think I had a ton of physical energy to expend. This reset process is a trip. I get a little bolder about eating more every day and this morning I woke up to…

  • Hey, Warrior Women! I'm feeling pretty chipper, considering my weight was up .6lbs, this morning. I'm just accepting that I may gain weight, as I try to make friends with my body again, by fueling it properly for my new fitness level. It was fine with 1200 calories, when I sat around all day. But, now that I'm more active,…

  • OMG! I love that quote! That's so true... Welcome, Valerie! You do not need to live vicariously through our epic battles, because you can have your own! All you need to do is decide what number of calories you plan to burn in June and we'll support you to do that. You don't have to do something that feels unachievable. A…

  • IT'S THE END OF MAY!!! Can you believe how fast this past 2 weeks went? I need to change the description of the group, because our 24 hour in 2 week challenge is coming to an end. Well, my final number for the challenge is 26:55. For the entire month of May, I exercised 50:55, which I'm pretty sure is a personal record.…

  • I'm sure you'll figure out a system that works for you. I find pre-logging my meals really helpful. On nights before I need to go in to work, I actually pre-log the night before and get everything prepped for easy packing in the morning.

  • Good Evening, Lovely Warriors! I don't know why, but I'm super tired tonight. I spent all day at home, only had light administrative work to do, and only intentionally exercised for 42 minutes. I'm seriously FULL, too. I couldn't even finish my dinner. It is a heavy one, but I am stuffed to the gills! I think I need to put…

  • Hello! Welcome to my world! I was eating flawlessly and exercising my butt off and then my weight loss stalled. I was pissed! Then, I realized that my body was probably feeling bullied. I mean, how would you feel if your boss told you to work harder for longer and didn't give you a raise? So, I raised my calorie goal and…

  • Oh, MFP Warrior Women! You make this weight loss journey so much fun! Well, you probably already saw that my scale started moving again! YAY!!! I'll definitely be doing a happy dance, after I'm properly caffeinated. It was scary to eat more and exercise less, but my gut said that was the right thing to do. I'm glad it…

  • Stephanie, I think that's an excellent idea! I love soft shell crab. I could eat it every day, if I could afford it;) After some cleaning and a walk, I also have completed my 24 hours! I'm at 24:53 and I'll see how much I can do by the end of Saturday. It's really odd to be trying to do less. If you would have told me 6…

  • Happy Thursday, Warrior Women! I'm having a very leisurely start to my day, planning my food, drinking coffee, and listening to music. This is the first day all week that I've been able to start slowly, so I'm in heaven. I think I'll do yoga, before I have breakfast. Then, I have a fair amount of walking to do to get to a…

You can't help yourself;) And, now you've got the great new gym to play in! I hope you remembered your air drum set. I'm at 23:13, as of tonight. When I got home, I thought about having a dance…

  • Hey, Strong Women! I just finished dinner and am contemplating switching out one of my planned snacks for something with more caloric. I'm really hungry tonight and I've got plenty left... I just walked today, because I had to go into the office. I also walked 16 floors! The building I work in was built in the 20's and is…

  • Hey, Tammy! Glad to see you're back! I just wanted to let you know that you have 4 days left, since May doesn't end until Saturday. That's 2.5 hours/day, if you still want to try for 24 hours. Remember, you don't have to do all high impact stuff. Yoga and mild stretching are wonderful ways to exercise and do not require a…

  • Hey, Beautiful Warriors! I had a pretty low key, administrative work kind of day. I've been watching Frasier reruns on Netflix to keep myself entertained. I forgot how funny that show was! I did manage to get 75 minutes of exercise in, so now I'm at 21:48. Culo, I think you're right, I think that whatever we choose to do,…

  • Happy Tuesday, Warrior Women! Well, going into the home stretch, I've decided to tweak my plan in the hopes that my weight will drop again. It's been 10 days, since the scale's moved significantly and I'm getting impatient. I changed my activity level on MFP, which was long overdue and now my calorie goal's higher. Also,…

  • Warrior Women never give up! I'm so proud of myself for not freaking out and giving up, after my disappointing weigh-in. I did have a momentary twinge of the "F"-its, but it passed quickly and I had a lovely day, yesterday. I've decided not to change anything this week, although I may ease up a bit on the cardio. I've done…

  • Welcome to MFP! There are a lot of wonderful, supportive people here, so find your "weight loss tribe" and stick around:) I joined MFP at 5'0" & 220lbs. I didn't exercise at all. I only moved when it was absolutely necessary. I'm now at 177lbs. I get 100% of my nutrients from food and have room leftover for treats. I…

I'm a little bummed that I only lost .2lbs this week. I didn't even log it, because I'm so disappointed. I had 1 off day, due to being sick, but…

  • Well, it looks like you all have lives! No worries. I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I've actually dialed back my social life on purpose, because I need more time to focus on my health & fitness. I finally talked myself into a 30 minute dance party to get my 120 minutes in. I find bribery works well, when I'm feeling…

  • Yes, what they said^^^. More specifically, when I looked through a few days of your diary, what was glaringly missing was FIBER. Fiber is very filling and very good for you. You should be getting at least 25g/day, for optimum health. Here's a sloppily formatted (sorry, I don't know how to keep formatting in here) chart of…

  • Happy Saturday afternoon, Warrior Women! I just had a lovely lunch and am coming up against a good problem. It now takes me a lot less time to walk distances, so I only walked 90 minutes on my grocery shopping adventure. That means, I still have another 30 to do. So, I'm trying to figure out what I'd like to do... Maybe, a…
