I also have 100 pounds to lose, need lots of friends on the same path! Natural weight loss! Eating better, working out, getting fit! Please add me!! Let's help each other!!

No pink dumbells for me lol, I want to work out with the boys. :) I'll give that a try today since it's a weight lifting day. I'll give the HIIT training you talked about a try on my cardio days. When I sit and think about it my heart rate goes up pretty quick when I go super fast on the bike.

I am not lifting heavy yet I guess. I'm lifting between 45-60 lbs with 4-5 sets of 12-15 reps. I am a beginner I thought I was doing good with that part of it. Didn't feel like I was "putzing around"

BUMP for later**

I looked at your diary, and I didn't see any vegetables? Everyone's advice is good advice, try to make some of your own food and cut the fast food. It's good that you cut the soda. I had (still have sometimes) a hard time with the fast food, so when I get in my car, I put my purse in my trunk that way I'm not tempted to…

I love her blog!!

Thank you for sharing! You look amazing, and STRONG! Congratulations on your journey :)

If I am craving chocolate, I eat it. Surely you can work a piece of chocolate into your daily plan?

LMAO My mind is also blown!:laugh:

Day 5 complete!

Day 4/30 of crunch challenge complete! Got a few laps around the block in today as well! Tomorrow going to the pool :D

When someone says "Pacific" instead of "specific". I scream inside when I hear that. Like I'm sorry, I didn't realize we were talking about the ocean...

What about the UP by Jawbone? (I've seen that one on MFP as well, I've been thinking about saving up for one)

Day 3/30 complete of the crunch challenge! I attempted to do some squats today, did about 15 good ones and 4 baby ones, my tendon is not quite ready for it, so I'm not going to push that! But tossed in some knee lifts and that felt good. :)

I would be interested in the answer to this too. Last month I just tried to drink water all of the time, I brought my 24oz cup with me nearly everywhere I went. But I still had major salty cravings!

I cannot even put into words how inspired I am from reading this. Congratulations, you're an increadibly beautiful and strong woman to acomplish such goals. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm proud to be part of the MFP community with you! :) <3

Day 2 completed of 30 day crunch challenge!

So I did the first day of the crunch challenge last night, and I thought 20 seemed a little easy, so I kept going through the tv commercials. I ended up doing 60, and I didn't think it was awful until I stood up and then my entire torso felt like it was going to explode lmao. So lesson learned I will do the reccommended…

Good Morning! This is my first time posting in any message board for MFP. I'm 27, 5'4 and weiging in at 295 lbs. I have quite a bit to lose, and I'm healing from a severe tendon tear. I'm trying to get some activity in that can work around my knee tendon tear, so the plan is to do some light walking first, and maybe try to…
