Hello All, Sorry I've been so bad with posting, but I read faithfully. I did my 5 min of squats yesterday (with a 15 pound baby on my chest). We were both amused. I think I've hit a plateau weight wise which is a bummer since I have so far to go. But I need to remind myself that this is a life change and that plateaus are…

Thanks for the kind welcome. Today has been an okay day eating wise. Back at work, I'm back to needing to pack my lunch and a failure to plan last week left us with nothing in the house. So it was pizza for lunch, but I managed to say within my calories. Its too snowy to run safely so I'm left just walking and carrying…

I debated whether or not I would be able to make the commitment to such a visibly committed team. I'm rarely online during the day but I am going to do my best to check in every evening. I'm Audrey and I would love to join the Black Team. I've been doing MFP for about six months and I'm about halfway done. Now its going to…

Checking in this week. I am finishing week 7 of the Couch to 5k and while I feel like I'm getting progressively slower, I've managed to lose weight. 9-10- 275 9-17-272 9-24- 268 10-1-265

One of the things the wife and I do is to cook meals that serve 4. Before we even begin to put food on our plates, we package up 2 servings of the food in plastic containers for the next day's lunch. That way we are limiting our portions and we have tomorrow's lunch figured out and ready to go. We also keep several boxes…

I lost 1 lb this week and wasn't around to post last week because of a death in the family. I can't wait for a moment when I can wear some old clothing. Everything was so tight when I started this journey so I'm still wearing the same things. My wife swears that everything looks baggy and that soon they will be too big.

I didn't get a chance to check-in last week because of a death in the family. 9-10- 275 9-17-272 9-24- 268

Weighing in at 271, down almost 3lbs from last week.

Weighed in today and I'm down 2 lbs. I had to redo my goals and I felt confident for the first time to select something other than sedentary!

So sorry about the money stress. Its so not the thing you need while trying to eat healthy We're on a tight budget too, though its just the two of us. The most useful thing I ever found was taking a chunk of one day to plan out meals for the week and start the prep work. I usually go grocery shopping on Sat. and then Sun.…

Congrats on the weight loss ladies. lstpaul: I hope you're feeling better soon. Checking-in: Currently 275, down 4lbs from last week, which I think is 3%. I'm in the 3rd week of the couch to 5k, which is going great.

When does everyone weigh in? I usually do it on Fridays and everything I've read says to do it in the am, but strangely enough I find that I weigh more in the am then I do in the early after a good workout. Also, my name is Audrey. Nice to meet all you ladies.

I'd like to join this group as well. I'm doing okay (down almost 26 lbs since June) but I've a way to go!
