did you intially gain when you increased your calories?

I think you have done a wonderful job of getting into shape & losing weight..your looking really good!

omg..becky..I didn't know you guys did that for testing!! yep..that would be a motivator for me!

Good luck on your belt test next week..I am sure you will do well! It is pretty exciting isn't it! I am also in taekwondo for almost 2 years (testing for my red belt next month) and I know what you mean about wanting to be leaner & healthier. I started MFP after starting tkd and once I had both of things going on it really…

Hi everyone :) I really need goals..I am struggling this week (sorry, don't mean to be a downer!) and just am having trouble getting moving. My regular taekwondo classes are cancelled this week as it is summer break..it is my favorite thing to do..I don't enjoy other exercise as much. I know I just need to suck it up…

I am not a morning person either..but after work I often have a power nap (only 10-15 mins) and then carry on with my evening & my workout..I feel so much better when I can get that teeny little snooze in. I say do what ever feels right for you!

haha! anytime:flowerforyou:

I did not lose this week..I am up 2 pounds..pretty sure it is due to sodium from the weekend..the weekends are so hard for me! Way to go to all our losers..you guys are doing GREAT!!

Well the last half of the past week was not good for me (fri/sat/sun), I was enjoying my vacation a little too much! But I still managed to workout..and I am back on track as of today.

You look fabulous..you really do! Love your hair too!

I am one of those mom's that takes their kids for tattoo's too..lol..he is 18 though. I have a half sleeve on my right arm..I LOVE it:heart: What are you planning on getting??

Gosh you have an early start..that would be torture for me:bigsmile: Well I decided to suck it up and do Cardio Max this morning..was careful with the lunges and they were not too bad..it was a good workout!

Good for you for getting back on track. I am sure you are feeling great and really motivated now that you have seen some of the weight loss! I hear what you are saying about working out despite the pain. I have always had lower back pain, it hurts weather I work out or not..so I may as well be exercising right! And…

I take a lunch too..but daily. But I also keep a variety of things at work to snack on..protien bars, oatmeal (for my breakfast as I don't eat before I leave home), crackers, tea etc. Sure makes it alot easier to not go out and buy something! I hate lunges too-but because they hurt my knees even if I am doing them…

I usually plan my meals..but this week I am on vacation & winging things--not sure that I will be home at dinner each day. The good thing is-if I am at home I will have more time on my hands which usually equals better/yummy meals! My works outs are as follows: Monday-TaeBo Tuesday-TaeBo & Strength Training Wednesday-…

I have seen that pic before and never noticed it was lacking..now and I do..and your right!

I am nearly one year into this on MFP..but I started about 7 months before that on my own-wasn't having much success for that 7 months because I didn't really get the whole concept of calories in/calories out..lol! So once I started here the pounds started coming off..I am close to 50 pounds now. My original goal was to…

You should be very proud..you have worked so hard and it shows!
