I try to set a lot of manageable goals and then stay flexible. My long term goal is to lose 50 lbs by July. My daily goal is to stay at my 1200 calories and do something anything active. My monthly goal is to jog/walk 50 miles for February. Each step gets me closer to the other. When I stumble, I've learned not to punish…

You can add another 5.8 new total so far = 7.1

I walk at lunch and do squats, pushups and dips in my office. I try to add one new thing a week to my routine.

1.3 miles today.

I always thought the hardest part was getting started. Just keep taking small steps and forgive yourself for the mistakes but just keep moving forward.

I'm in for 50 miles.

I understand and respect these posts but the comment I made about what my trainer said was simple biology certainly not a "one size fits all approach" just the mechanics of how the liver and kidneys work together.

I was told by a trainer that the liver is what burns fat. The kidneys clean the body. When the kidneys are overworked (soda, tea, coffee etc...) the liver must stop burning fat and help your kidneys clean your body. So when the liver is helping the kidneys it's not burning fat like it should. So water is a very very good…

Grandma always told me pretty is as pretty does. I think she's right!

Open water certified and seriously one of the main reasons I got on MFP was to get back into my wet suit. I can get in it now but I am pretty sure it's cutting off oxygen to some pretty important places. LOL!

Some days I struggle more than others. I find that when I am thinking about delicious food it obviously makes it worse. For example I would love some chipolte for lunch. A burrito bowl with all the toppings and extra sour cream but then I remind myself It will never taste as good as it feels to lose weight. Good luck.…

I'd love to join, if I'm not too late.

After a few days maybe a week your body gets use to it and you don't have to go to the bathroom as much. It's really annoying until then though. :-)

For me I just make sure I am eating my 1200 calories a day. Some days I will eat the extra exercise calories and some days I don't . The less calories you eat, the more you lose, just don't go below 1200.

Mine is the first username I created for my first email account way back in the 90's.........

I've felt that way before when I've lost weight. Yes they do see you everyday so that makes it harder. I know sometimes when I've seen other people lose weight it's made me feel bad that I'm not. So instead of complimenting them I start complaining to myself about why I haven't started trying to get healthier. So keep your…

I'm new too! Add me. I need all the help I can get. I didn't realize how much just being apart of something like this helps.

With 3 kids it is so hard to make it to the gym after work. I have to scramble to get something together for dinner, make sure their homework is done and that they are bathed/showered and still make it to the gym in the middle of that. I do know on the days I actually make it to the gym I am so happy and proud when I am…
