I'm in too!! SW 179 GW 140 (but ill be happy with 159 by end of may) Darn, just saw that the group was closed. A friend at work just told me about it. Wish I would have known sooner :(

I have the same problem but I think mine is more of an issue of being too restrictive during the week. I'm in this weight loss challenge at work & tried being super strict the last two weeks with really low carb...total backfire. I binged all weekend with no regard for calories or carbs or anything. I ate when I was…

Thank you for sharing! I foresee myself quoting your husband in the future :smile:

Thank you everyone for your input. I feel even more reinforced in eating the healthy whole foods God intended us to eat. You guys ate Awesome!

That is AWESOME!! Thank you for sharing your results!

Thank you all for your fabulous advice!! I didn't mean to come across with low self esteem. On any given day I do feel pretty sexy but when crunch time came I felt a little self conscious. As far as my date went, he asked me out again but it's actually me that said I don't think we're a match. Part of it was just that I…

I was going to post & say this never really worked for me BUT I just pulled my fit bit numbers for the last week and guess what...I'm eating at TDEE -11% and have lost 2lbs this week. I think when I plugged numbers into the TDEE calculator I was using the wrong activity level so my estimation was too high. Since I've had…

I'm no expert, but I think as long as it fits in your calories it doesn't matter when you eat. I think some people stop eating by a certain time just so they don't binge. I know for myself some nights I can't eat until 8:30 or 9PM, but I try not to snack after dinner. That's when the calories get blown out of the…

^^^^^ This

Sweet Baby Jesus...you look AMAZING!! Thank you for sharing!!

Thank you for the support and the tips. I actually had a talk with my mom last night and she was very supportive. I explained that I just need a few weeks to build some good habits so I'd be cooking at home and focussing my free time on working out and being more physical. If I can just jumpstart the weightloss & see a…

If you can afford it, I highly recommend a fit bit (the fitbit zip is on sale at target for $49). It wil tell you exactly what you burn and after a week of wearing it you can get an average TDEE.

I know this is a little different than wings, but when I'm trying to save on calories, I've been known to gril a chicken breast then just dip it in in franks...it's deliscious!!

That is so sweet! I think it's possible. Most of the people on here are like minded about wanting to live a healthier more active life which is a good start to having something in common :) That said...I personally haven't met anybody on MFP in person (that I didn't already know IRL).

bump for motivation...you all look AWESOME!

Awesome job!! You look amazing. Which version did you do? After I'm done with RI30 I want to do a round of P90X but not sure if I should do Lean or Classic.

I like the idea of the wrist/ankle weights. I may need to invest in those. Since we moved to an apartment I have to walk my dogs before and after work and sometimes we even do a third walk (when I had a yard I really didn't walk them much at all). My dogs are little and dart around as well so I wouldn't feel safe jogging…

gotta try these...thanks!

Go to settings, diary settings then you can choose to make your diary public. You can change it back to private after you get some advice if you'd like to. You definitely shouldn't be starving on 1800 cals if you're eating mostly whole foods. I hear ya about never being consistent though. I have been on here a long time &…

I'm not super creative when it comes to workouts, but even a 30 minute walk would be great. I have a friend that did WW and the ONLY exercise she did was walk and lost 80lbs! Once the weight was off she started branching out with her activities but that's how she lost almost all of her weight. At one point I was doing the…

Welcome to the group!

Welcome to the group!!

Welcome to the group! 10 minutes a day to start is awesome! I think the most important factor is consistency and building the habit of doing something...anything to move your body every day. I usually go overboard when I first start exercising and then get burnt out by the 2nd week. This time it's all about consistency and…

Welcome to the group! From a quick glance at your profile it looks like you have alot going on in your life. Hopefully we can keep each other motivated to get that movement in every day!

Hey, you got some intentional movement in on those ab days and had some awesome workouts so far with 3 days left. Great job!

I love the bowling idea! See I never even would have thought of that, but you're definitely moving and it sounds like fun :)

Good morning!! I'm so happy to see so many members...I really thought just a few people from my friends list would be joining but it looks like this group is definitely filling a need :) I made it to the gym last night but only because I packed my clothes & changed at work before I left. I did the bare minimum, but I did…

What a great way to get your exercise in. Great job! I wish it was feasible for me to walk/bike to work.

Yea, I think 30 minutes a day is going to be really do-able. I was inspired by a friend that did a status update that was just lacking motivation to workout on a consistent basis. I had read a book years ago "Never Say Diet" by Chantel Hobbs. She started at a weight over 300 lbs and her first commitment was 30 minutes of…

I had pepperoni chips last night at 11PM because I was hungry & wanted a snack. Put some slices of pepperoni on a paper towel/plate in the microwave & heat until crunchy. You can use them for dip but they're great on their own too!! Or top them with a little shredded cheese...yum!
