I have a total of 97 lbs to lose, and my plan is to focus on 10% at a time- it isn't as daunting when you do it that way. Please don't give up! You can do it!!!

I would like to lose 10-15 lbs- I am training to walk the 60 mile, 3 day breast cancer walk in August, so if i eat well, I am hoping for 10-15 loss. If anyone would like new friends, please add me! I need all of the encouragement I can get!!!

So, what are the group weekly challenges? And do I need to add an additional challenge as a personal goal for myself? Just trying to acclimate myself to the routine!!!

OOH! I would like to join! But I don't want to look at my starting weight just yet. I know that I am more than 200, less than 215.... so my goal weight will be 180.

I actually feel bad for big bad McD's - they get the blame when there are countless other restaurants out there that are worse (hello KFC- I am talking DOUBLE DOWN here!!!) At least with McD's- they do have healthy alternatives, especially for kids. We do get happy meals once a week usually- and my kids will always ask for…

Consider yourself friended! It helps- because we are all going though the same thing.

4 miles tonight! Group total: 173.85

Here this is my challenge, and I am way behind. I have been concentrating more on my marathon training. However, starting tomorrow I want to double up on the challenge- do 2/day- to catch up. My goal is to do level 2 in the morning, and level 1 in the evening after my run.... Let's see if I can put my money where my mouth…

I did 9 exhausting miles today!!! GROUP TOTAL- 132.15

Yes you can do this! Lean on this site and your friends for support- keep training and tracking, and you will get what you deserve! your ideal weight!!

We have similar goals! Consider yourself added!

I ran 4.6 today! GROUP TOTAL- 50.34

Fat free chocolate pudding is good- only 100 calories! There are also now some Special K chocolate pretzel bars that are only 90 calories. Either one of these is good!!\ Ice cream is a downfall for us also, and let me tell you- we just don't buy it at all. If we would have it in house, it would be gone. BUT - you can also…

My running miles today: 3 GROUP TOTAL: 30.98

I am training for a Marathon for Memorial Day weekend. I am using the Hal Higdon novice plan. You should try it out!

WELCOME! Great to have you on board!

WELCOME! Great to have you on board!

I just ran 3 miles! GROUP TOTAL SO FAR: 3 (Did I do this right?)

I completed day 1!!!

Just did L1D1!!

I'm in for this as well!

I'm in! I know I started a similar post last night without seeing this- so let's all do it together!

The 30 day shred DVD by Jillian is AWESOME! The workout is literally about 22 minutes start to finish. And it is CHEAP! The DVD is anywhere from 10-15 bucks, or around there, and then you need 2 3lb weights. I am excited! Everyone take their weight and measurements, and we will see how we did on October 31st!!! Let's also…

Welcome ladies! Good luck to you both! Become friends with people so that you can get that daily inspiration!!

Hey ladies! Can I join your group? I am 39, and want to hit my goal weight and run a marathon before I turn 40 next July. I started MFP with 55 lbs to lose to my goal weight.... I love your challenges, so I would love to join this group!!

You know, every day is a new beginning- tomorrow, try to get through just 1 day, following the program- eat right, resist stress temptations, and get in some cardio- get through 1 day, and see how you are feeling the next. Then get through that day.... Do this each day for 7 days- weigh yourself, and see if you can reverse…

It's hard! I am the mom of 3, work full time outside the home, and I know how difficult it is to put in the time. I think that the mindset you have that working out stalls weight loss hinders you as well. While you may not have lost weight, you may have lost inches- plus you need to keep working out, and as you get…

You know, we all have good days and bad days, and many of us have binge days. The most important thing is to not get discouraged by them. Own those mistakes, accept them, and start again the next day. The more you own them, the more you become aware- you will soon realize the triggers that lead to binging- and then you can…

You are going to do great! This site is fabulous!!

I have been thinking about getting this too- instead of guesstimating how far I have gone and at what pace... thanks for the input~
