If you have an iphone, to the ipersonal trainer app. It is a great app that will help a lot.

My husband had one earlier and I was just looking at the bottle. The calories are low in comparison to regular, but they are very confusing. He got a 20 oz bottle. The name is Dr. Pepper Ten, which makes you think it only has 10 calories. But if you look closer, it states it has 10 calories per 8 fl. oz. So the 20 oz.…

Whether you lie or not on your food diary, your body will keep an accurate account.

muscleandstrength.com for research and good workouts or if you have an iphone, I highly recommend the ipersonal trainer app. It gives you many options of how to train. I choose to do circuit training at the gym and I can't believe how it has pushed me through a great workout.

I am a former Chocolate addict. I would eat at least 2 king size Hershey bars a day. So, chocolate was a major issue for me. I purchased Kellogg's Fiberplus Antioxidant Bars - Chocolate Almond and Chocolate Chip. They have helped me when I am craving and they fill me up. Last week, I had a bad day and ate the 2 Hershey…

Here I am!!! Glad to see you keeping up with us. I could only eat half my supper tonight because I ate Girl Scout Cookies today. Ugh!!! They are now gone and no more will be bought!!!! Tracking everything helped tremendously or I would not have known ate way too much today.

Dragonfly, you are very welcome. I hope you will be there for me when I disappear for a few days. :wink: I am glad to see you are back. Momof4inny, I hope you are feeling better and I hope you will get answers to whatever is going on medically with you. I am losing and gaining, but I keep trying!!! We can do it girls!!!!…

Dragonfly, YOU CAN DO THIS!!!! I can honestly say I know what you are going through; I live it also. I can say that MFP has helped tremendously. Stay active on it and count everything. It will help with the binging. I have went above my calories, but I believe that I am eating less than I would if I were not keeping track…

Hi!! I am Darlene and I live in Fayetteville, GA. I am done living on the roller coaster and I am making changes. I am logging my calories and go to the gym almost everyday. I workout at Ultimate Fitness in Fayetteville. I am working to lose 75 lbs. I am in a competition at the gym to see who can lose the most weight…

My gym is doing a contest for the ones that want to participate to see who can lose the most weight in 4 weeks. We each put $20 into a pot and whoever wins gets the money and a month of free personal training. If the pot is $200 or more, there will be 2 winners.

Sherri, I need a smartphone. It would definitely make life much easier. Congrats on the improvements you are seeing in your training on the C25K program.

My weigh in at the gym Biggest Loser Contest is today at 4:30pm. I am hoping that I weigh on the heavy side since it is so late in the day. I hope my last weigh in will be early in the morning. :wink: April - When in your birthday? Mine is tomorrow. My mother is fixing me Vegetable Soup Saturday night for my birthday…

Bad food choices according to some would be the Chick-fil-a sandwich, fries and milkshake I had last night or the personal pan pizza I had today at Pizza Hut. :noway: But, I did stay within my calorie limit and I don't feel deprived. So, I am not trying to beat myself up about it.

I am working on a Couch to 5k program. I am on Day 11 out of 24. Today was the first day that I struggled a bit with it, but I did accomplish it. So, today I walked 2 minutes at 3.2 mph and jogged and 4.2 mph for 3 minutes alternating for 25 minutes. I am still logging everything I am eating. Somethings that I have eaten…

Way to go April!!! Let's encourage each other to stay on track!! I am staying on track with my food by checking the calorie count with MFP before I eat it.

Oh, I meant to identify myself in the picture. I am the one on the far left in the picture.

I have just read the bulletin board announcement at the gym. Everyone that wants to participate has to pay $20 towards the pot. We all have to be measured and weighed the first week in February. We will get one session with a personal trainer. The person who loses the most at the end of 4 weeks will with the pot. If the…

Hello everyone. I have been riding the roller coaster for years and I am ready to get off. I went to a Nutritionist last Wednesday which led me to counting calories again and adding more fiber into my diet to reduce my cholesterol levels. I am so happy I found this website. I have tried to count calories before but it was…

I am currently doing the 5K Your Way Rookie Running Training on Sparkpeople.com. I am on Week 4 and I am blown away that I just walked at 3.2 mph for 2 minutes and jogged at 4.2 mph for 3 minutes alternating for 25 minutes. Totally amazed that I did this!! The program works and I highly recommend it!!! I would like to add…

I'm in!! I am looking forward to this challenge.
