Just found this group...so I'm joining a little late. Going to work hard to still meet this goal 20lbs before Christmas!!!

Breaking through another gridlock with the scale. Any movement in the downward direction is good enough for me! Week 12 - Lost 0.8lbs

Finally, finally feeling better! Three weeks with this nagging chest/sinus infection. Blah! Pushing through and getting stronger daily. Got in two runs this week and hoping to get in a long run this weekend. Good results team! Week 1 - 1.4 lbs loss Week 2 - 1.1 lbs loss Week 3 - 2.3 lbs loss Week 4 - 0.5 lbs loss Week 5 -…

Incredible achievement! Wishing you much continued success!

Finally feeling a bit better each day from this chest/sinus cold. Exercise has been minimal as I've been told not to push too hard as it could irritate my already infected areas. Horrible, horrible. But I'm determined to get back at it this week. Thankful for these little scale losses at this time. :-) Week 1 - 1.4lb loss…

A bit nervous stepping on the scale this morning after celebrating Thanksgiving last weekend. But making smart choices and forcing in an extra workout on vacation paid off! Week 5 - Lost 1.7 lbs Week 4 - Lost 0.5 lbs Week 3 - Lost 2.3 lbs Week 2 - Lost 1.1 lbs Week 1 - Lost 1.4 lbs Total lost for Challenge - 7 lbs Right on…

Early start to the day...4:30am...yikes! Not my regular weigh-in time or circumstances, but wanted to get it done before we hit the road for Thanksgiving weekend. Week 4 - LOST 0.5 lbs Happy Thanksgiving Canadian friends!

Way to go! Awesome week! Awesome month! You must feel amazing!

Made a lot of changes in my eating and exercise this week. So nervous stepping on the scale this morning, but I guess my "tweaking" paid off! Week 3 - Lost 2.3 lbs Week 2 - Lost 1.1 lbs Week 1 - Lost 1.4 lbs

If you think it's a problem, then it most likely is...for you. I used to check a lot! Then I hit a HUGE plateau (almost 6 months) and just gave up checking....too discouraging. I continued to run and eat well and lost dress-size after dress-size. When I joined this new group to push me to get rid of the last 20lbs, I…

I am down 1.6 lbs So happy! First time the scale has been down for months! Thanks to all my new MFP friends! Love this new group!
-
This is just what i needed today! I am an outdoor, early morning runner. Love the peace and quiet, birds singing and clearing my head before my busy day. But now that it is getting darker, my run usually begins the same time as the morning traffic. ugh! Now I need music! Great suggestions! Music is a MUST for any of my…

No, no...I'm here with you! I can't go without my Rogers Steel-cut Porridge Oats!

I am just new to running (6 months now!) I live on the east coast of Canada and our weather goes to extremes. On beautiful days I run outside and work on distance. On rain/snow/whatever days, I work on shorter distances/higher speeds...I get very bored on a treadmill. This has worked for me...shedding fat like crazy! Both…

Good for you! And just to pat yourself on the back even more, try adding "just one" bakery muffin into your food diary...It WILL make a difference. Very high in cals and sat fats. Pat, pat, pat!!! Stronger every day. Keep up the great work! This is a "pat yourself on the back" topic! :happy: Someone brought 2 boxes of…

This sounds familiar! I just opened my diary up to my friends as I needed to be more accountable. They are a huge base of support and are not afraid to keep me in line! Congrats on your success! Tracking truly does make a difference. I find it gets easier the more you do it as you build your own database on "recently used"…

I am not an expert by any means, but have had great success with my weight-loss, life-betterment plan thus far. I have found that for every problem there is a solution. First, you need to cure the root of the problem. And I think you are on your way because you already realize that this could be hindering your weight-loss…

Has anyone tried the baked avocado with egg in the middle? It is amazing! So good for you and easy as well! My husband and I just had them for a quick, low-cal lunch, but you could easily have these for breakfast, snack or apps. Preheat oven to 450F halve avocado - remove pit crack a full egg in each half (we had to remove…

Hi Jellarrysmum! I also make this guilt-free ice cream but use yogurt instead of milk. My husband has a soft spot for soft-serve and this has satisfied his cravings beautifully! Good luck with your challenge! Rebecca

I have been on MFP since Jan 2012 and this is the first group I've joined. Thanks for coming along just when I needed this the most. I have been struggling with the last 20lbs since last Christmas...frustrating! You have opened up the whole side of MFP that I have been missing - community support. Now I think I'm slightly…

I just started running this Spring and am in love with it too! I live in NS, Canada and we have lots of snow and ice from late November till March. I'm really hoping for some insights on this too. Will my regular runners cut it or do I need a specialty shoe? My husband bought me an awesome treadmill (hint, hint....'get in…

Good for you Jessica (Sunshinedream)! I just ran my first 10K race last weekend! It was rough as it was my first "race"...although I wasn't racing as much as praying for the finish line! I really wish I had run a 5K race as my first as it would have given me some experience on a shorter route. In any case, it is extremely…

Hi knitapeace! I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. We have beautiful Fall weather but very cold, icy, snowy winters which usually begin late November until March. This will be my first winter running as I only began in the Spring. I am definitely an 'outdoor' runner, but have a nice treadmill at home that I'm thinking I'll use…

Hi Ladies. I started running in the Spring to break through a weight-loss plateau. The scale still hasn't moved but my body surely has! Inches upon inches have been shed and I feel fantastic! As the Mom to 5 young children, I have a very tight running schedule. It is squeezed in the early morning between my husband's gym…

Rye toast with natural pb and chia seeds. Perfect with a steam cup of coffee! On early morning run days I load up with steel cut oats topped with raisins or fresh berries.

Hi! My name is Rebecca. I am 39 years old and a stay-at-home Mom of five little ones (along with starting my own business). After my youngest was born in 2011 (turning 2 tomorrow!) my husband and I were at our heaviest. January 1st resolutions started us on MFP and we have had great success. Each of us has lost 50lbs+ and…

Just set this goal myself last night! I have been fighting the last 20lbs for over a year now...Ugh! Ready to get it done! Would love some extra motivation and accountability that a group can bring. Let do this! Good luck!

1. Know what you are eating. MFP has been crucial to my and my husband's weight loss success. When you start breaking down cals/proteins/etc. for everything you put in your mouth and see the totals...you will be surprised! That is how we began making little changes to our favorite recipes and pantry items. 2. Always being…
