Oh definitely. It is keeping me accountable- you have no idea. This group has kept me more motivated and active than I ever would have on my own. Any other time if I had hit a wall like this I would have crapped out for a few months. This is the first time I've ever pushed through and it's totally because of the support…

159.8

I fell off the wagon last weekend...HARD...and weighed myself and had lost weight for the first time in a month. I have been feeling very hungry/tired...come to the conclusion that I need to raise my calories a little (especially now that I'm back on track and my weight has frozen...again...). Anyone have guidelines on how…

Oh gosh yes I have a super short leash since starting dieting. My boyfriend has started to ask "um...are you hungry?" every time I snap at him. Half the time I really am and haven't realized it. Congrats on the loss, that is amazing! You can always vent on MFP and put on the fake smile for the rest of the world :) Adding…

Adding you! Welcome!

Awesome! Thanks for the inspiration! How do you feel?

Good luck! I've found such awesome support on this site, it has really kept me on track. Everyone is so nice and positive and you can get such good advice and help. You can do it, it's never too late.

165.6 after weekend vacation- I'm not too upset considering I ate like 10 cupcakes haha

Here I Come by The Roots, gets me pumped up every time You're Gonna Go Far, Kid by The Offspring

Supposedly it's difficult to get all the nutrients you need if you go under 1,200 calories. I think you can go under if you need to but it probably isn't great to do every day. It's better to add exercise to burn more calories have have a lower net intake, if you can.

This was a super tough weekend for me. It was the first time I really went out drinking since starting this entire thing. I tried to do a lot of cardio to have enough calories, but you know that goes right out the window... Anyway it definitely hurt me on the scale this morning. First time in 8 weeks I gained a little…

^^^^ Kinda my thoughts... ^^^^ [/quote] I agree with this also! And if he just came out and said that he still has it open I don't think he's trying to hide anything.

I love using Runkeeper. I also like C25K- I'm not a runner at all but I like pretending :)

Hi everyone! Until the challenge starts I could use some motivation...anyone want to friend me? It helps me to see everyone else doing so great and makes me want to try harder myself. Thanks for starting this, I can't wait!

Thanks for the motivation! I'm really excited to try this, this is my first group.

Your goals look great! I've been doing 6 week sessions at a time, planning for 2 lb a week. It's easiest for me to set a time limit instead of a weight limit because I'll keep putting it off if I have no time goal. The session I'm in right now ends the day before Valentine's day. When I want to quit I think about the dress…

Hi! I actually have the same goal- I'm turning 30 in about 18 months and have about 50-60 lbs to lose. I really slacked off the last 6 months or so and could really use some motivation. This is my first time posting in the forums so I'm hoping to find some people to "friend" so I can stay motivated. I spent the majority of…

I'd really like to do this too! I've hit a lull and am definitely in need of some support. Please let me know if a group starts up, I've never tried one.
