I'm in southern AZ and spend about $500 a month for 2 adults and a teenage daughter. I also have a college kid that comes home a couple times a month to grocery shop out of my cabinets and fridge. I'm waiting for the day he shows up with a grocery cart.

Naked popcorn is amazing!

You rock!! Great job, you look amazing!

I used circuit training and the amount MFP gave me was really close to my HRM number.

Love Kettlebells! Before I got my HRM I used "circuit training"

This happened when I started running too. The more I ran the less it happened and it has gotten so much better as I have lost weight. I always had better luck with morning runs, so go this weekend and run :)

This is pretty much what my son lived on while living in the dorms. Easy, quick and healthy.

Awesome work and dedication to your goals! Loved the story, thanks so much for sharing it with us.

My Polar7 HRM is waterproof and I have worn it swimming laps a few times. I had a few instances where the HR monitor lost connection but overall it was good. I tried SUP for the first time this last summer and loved it. Cant wait to go again this summer. My daughter was a show off and did her yoga moves on the board :) I'm…

My food/diet is always better when I plan and take a couple hours a week for prep. When I don't have a plan its easier for me to eat out and make bad choices. I usually reflect on my day at bedtime. If I did good and made all the right choices and stuck with the plan, I feel great and it gives me motivation for the next…

I do a weekly boxing class with my son. I don't really care for the workout but its "our time" since he is in college and he enjoys it.(its a great workout) I also take a bootcamp class twice a week and I like the women in the group more than the exercise. I guess I have made my workouts social occasions which in my world…

I would agree your calories are too low. I know this process can be frustrating but happens when you give up? Are you going to start eating crap and let yourself go sort of speak? I think two pounds lost in a month is great! Good Job! Is two ounces really worth the focus you're giving it? Lets celebrate the two pound loss…

I'm just reading this because I love babies. You all are doing so great and the pictures were beautiful. I have a son in college and a drama queen teenage daughter so I like reading about babies. Please continue. Don't mind me.

I agree, just make sure you are taking rest days when needed. Sometimes I do an hour bootcamp class in the morning and then a boxing class after work. If you feel up to it then do it. Listen to your body, it will usually tell you when its time for a rest.

Thanks for the strong karma!! I surely need it every weekend. Luckily for me I have a track workout planned in the am tomorrow so I can enjoy my once a week Starbucks!

Everyone will have a different answer to how weight gain got out of control. For me, it was being a military wife and moving every few years and starting over so many times. I gained about 20 pounds at each new base. When I was over 200 I was devastated and made changes. I also saw pictures from a recent vacation and was…

Wow! that's awesome! Maybe try circuit training or aerobics.

I'm 5'7 and currently weigh 153. (I started at 225) and would like to maintain at 140-145. We will see if I can ever drop these last 10 pounds.

I use circuit training for my kettlebell workouts which I haven't done in a long time. Maybe I will do that one tomorrow. Thanks for the idea!

People who talk while chewing gum!

I have this friend too, I know she's super proud of me but I feel so embarrassed every time.

thanks for the great comments!

I will be hiking Thursday morning and then cooking and eating the rest of the day. I plan to log my hike and that's all the logging I'm doing that day.

I hiked 5 miles last Thanksgiving morning and it was great. Plan to do the same this year. Turkey, pie and wine, oh my!

I feel your pain. I'm in the same situation with cupcakes. They are right outside my office!! I'm staying strong too. I'm thinking how good I will feel on the drive home knowing I didn't eat one.

2 whole eggs and 3 egg whites scrambled and veggies is my go to low cal dinner.

This makes great motivation! I feel the same way. I was in a triathlon a couple weeks ago and they put our ages on the back of our legs with permanent marker. I hated getting passed by those 10-15 years older. Definitely made me work harder.

Congrats!! That's awesome :)
