I know exactly where you're at! I too was in a bad situation at work and fell off the wagon. I'm an emotional eater and the problems at work really took a toll on me! I quit coming to MFP, stopped watching what I ate, etc.. Then my clothes started getting tighter on me. A couple days ago I found myself looking at bigger…

Hi everyone my name is Pam. I was looking thru the forums and saw this community. I've been reading the posts..this seems to be a very close group of ladies..I like that. I'm in a stall with my weight loss and need motivation to get back on track. I didn't do too good in August, up and down on the scale. My goal for Sept…

I'd like to join in also, this sounds like the motivation I need to get back on track. Starting weight 187 Goal weight for Sept 180 Challenge - to workout 3-5 times a week

Thank you all so much for the advice. I'll definitely check out the calculators.

I've got about 68 pounds to lose. Having a hard time staying motivated. Feel free to add me...we can motivate each other.

8/6= 1.5 mile walk

8/4= 1 mile walk

8/3= 3 mile walk

8/2= 1.62 mile walk

8/1= 2.09 mile walk

Bumping up so I can find it tomorrow :wink:

I'd like to do this also. Guess I sign up here? Put me down for 50 miles please. Do I post my distance here every day? Sorry for all the questions but I'm new to this challenge. Thanks, Pam

You can get an average of the calorie counts for your fresh juice by going to a reputable nutrition or calorie counting site like nutriondata.com. There, you’ll want to find the calorie count (or nutrition data, if that’s what you are looking for, too) for each fruit or vegetable. List out the calories for each fruit or…

When I googled all the different protein/meal replacement powders out there IdealShape came in as the #1 overall in price, taste, and nutrients.

Feel free to add me also if you need more friends. I'm starting to get into walking and am beginning the C25k program.

I have a friend who's doing the same workout, she really likes it too. I'm going to have to try GNC shakes I've heard about them.

Hi Amber. My name is Pam (Texasokie). I know exactly where you're coming from...I've been there more times than I can count. I started out by making small changes in my eating habits. It wasn't easy and I've had a few days where I'd slip back into old eating ways and would be down on myself but then with the help of…

I used to do weight watchers also. You can kind of use this the same way except it counts calories instead of points. You can track what nutrients you want along with your calories. I've got my nutrients set to what weight watchers figured your points by (fat, fiber, carbs, and protein). Just go to settings (at the top of…

My goal for 2013 is to lose weight. I'm currently at 195 as of this morning and would love to get down to 130-120. Also have a goal to watch/track my sugar intake and to learn to eat healthier also to kick my butt to start exercising!! That's where I have the most trouble. It's just so hard to make myself get active when…

Sorry I didn't check in Monday, it's been a crazy week at work and home. Monday's have always been my weigh in days, my weight this week is 198.6

Hi everyone! Feel free to add me as well. I don't get a lot of support at home and really need the motivation.

I'm planning on starting my wii fit today when I get Home from work.

I have a hard time with dieting. I know I should eat healthier but it's just so hard with all the junk food dh likes to keep around. He's 6' and never has had a problem with his weight. Some times when I wake up in the middle of the night I find myself grazing thru the fridge...bad habit I've got to work on!!

I enjoy quilting (when I get the chance) and love gardening. I also like to cook/bake and spend time with my grandbabies ages 5 and 8. I also enjoy online games but not much moving involved there lol.

Hi everyone. I'd love to do this with you, I've got about 70 lbs to lose but need a starting place. I like the ideal of starting a new year with others who have the same goals as myself. I'm 55 yrs old, 5'2" and currently weigh around 195 my goal is 120. I work full time at a job where I mostly sit at a computer most of…

Hi. I joined this group about a week ago but haven't posted. After reading a lot of the posts here I feel really out of place. I'm so much heavier and out of shape than you all. I'm 55 yrs old and mother of 2 daughters and 4 grandbabies. I've been married to my Sweetie for 32 years. I work full time at a sit down desk job…

I'm trying to lose 50. You can friend me if you want.

This one will be hard for me as I've been here at work since 6:30 this morning. I get off work at 3:30pm then am going to an hour long zumba class at 4:00 which means It'll be 6:00pm before I get home. But I will try.

You can also add me, I can use all the motivation I can get as well.:happy:

I'm doing fairly well. Haven't had any candy in 3 days (WooHoo). Didn't get to exercise yesterday though, went shopping with my daughter and was gone all day and by the time I got home, dinner cooked, kitchen cleaned it was just about bed time. My days start at 3:30am so bed time is kinda early lol.
