WTG MarisaMSimmon! Are we supposed to set goals for the 10 days? Been an MFPer for quite some time..not so much a part of the community. Tryin to change that!

March is when I got serious! I pulled the trigger on a serious vacation and that means staying committed to my goals so I can feel and look good on that trip and for the rest of my life. I wanted to do this last year so on my 50th birthday I would look fabulous, but again, just stopped and went the other direction. Here's…

First Round - 73 I'm flipping hungry. Jump starting my weight loss with JJ's Green Smoothie 10-Day Cleanse and on Day 7. Awesome thing about it is that with thinking about drinking water to feel full, and how to get my workout in, I haven't given much thought to how bad I want a beer. 3-Apr 199.2 4-Apr 198.8 -0.4…

So I'm 5'6" and just turned 50 so looking to make these years as good as my 30s... fit and fabulous at 50! You guys are so motivational and I'm going to need it next week when I travel to keep me working out and making good choices. No pics but had an amazing day today! My progrss this first month kicked *kitten*!

Then there's that!

My biggest problem!

Too much good stuff!

fan-freaking-tastic!

10 days after my last post I am struggling to stick to any goals each day. Drank every day and indulged in a lot of homemade lasagna with the family. Right back to where I was 10 days ago. Need to get some stamina going on this life change and really commit whether it's a weekend or a weekday. The weekend after I had done…

Typing here instead of thinking about how bad I would like a beer or glass of wine... or the fact that I should go get on the treadmill! Didn't stay strict today cuz I messed up my lunch, didn't have a boiled egg to take to work. So I ended up having a handful of almonds and a tablespoon of PB. Then I had such a big…

That's awesome! My problem is I never stop with just one. And I am getting to the point where I don't want to give up the calories burned. But sounds like you burned enough to earn it so enjoy!!

Guess I'm done with day counting and the date is listed.... Bottom line..it's another weeknight without a silver can in my hand. Feeling really strong this time around. Went to pick up lunch at Chipotle for a big group at work and didn't order anything and didn't pilfer anyone else's. I stuck to the lunch I brought. SO…

Day 5 - 1/6/2014 A weeknight with no drinking and a super busy Monday at work, no less. Kept to plan for meals today and burned 100 cals walking the pups. Made me feel better cuz I was getting grumpy. Pups are nice and relaxed now, too. It's 9 PM and think I will give myself a little downtime with a cup 'o tea and get up…

Hey all, I probably won't be able to log everything all the time, but I am totally committed! Would love to have more people to be accountable to even if it's not logging in, but simply reporting progress.

Day 3 - 1/4/2014 SUCCESS - No drinking! And.. it wasn't that hard. Want a glass of wine with dinner, honey? No thank you. So very proud of myself. Did NOT walk the dogs though and they were bummed. Will walk them every day no matter what. Day 4 - 1/5/2014 Day off but didn't have my Colorado cocktail until after 4 PM and…

Day 2 - 1/3/2014 Strike Two on the workout. Ran errands, washed Christmas towels, regular towels, blankets, dog beds and dogs, then washed more towels. Cleaned and cleaned and cleaned some more. Pulled the pork for the "fried" srirachi wontons I wanted to make on New Year's Eve and didn't (they were delicious!), made the…

Owning this post, I guess!! Day 1 - 1/2/2014 Didn't do my workout. No excuses. But... I DID take the dogs for a walk and spend the day at a museum. Better than sitting around on my butt at home. I had a beer and small margarita with dinner, then came home and had water and tea instead of pounding down another 6 pack. After…

**Bump**

No diet except to eat HALF of what I normally do as long as it meets my minimum calorie intake. No starving myself! I've done it before and I can do it again!

Feta, tomatoes and egg with just a dip of the fork in italian... all on romaine. YUM! Now I want one! Hubby loves olives, but not this kid! Oh and don't forget the red pepper!

Well, I am a mom of 2 VERY busy teenagers and wife to an amazing hubby who does it all. I have 2 new German Shepherd babies that keep me busy on top of my full time job that keeps me out of the house from 7:30 AM - almost 6 PM. I don't make time to workout and consistently make excuses, but am so tired of being tired and…

9/4 - Well, Tuesday I had 2 glasses of wine WITH dinner, but no more AND I went for a run at 8:00 PM. WooHoo Me! 9/5 - NONE for me thank you, I was active and busy and didn't give it a thought... for once. Today I have a back to school night and have every intention of running when I get home, no matter what time it is so…

Pushing myself: CW - 191 GW - 175

Take it one day at a time. And... reach out of you feel yourself going off the deep end. Try and remember what you want for your family.... You can do it!!

None whatsoever huh? You guys are all better men than me! I'll go with JP - one day at a time... NONE TODAY and I have to burn what I would normally drink.

I sucked wind. It's a new month. Here we go!

....or if I can get myself up off the couch or out from in front of the computer! Sheesh. I need a no movie goal. Not much of a TV person, but I will watch any crappy movie I can find. It feels so good to GET STUFF DONE! Oh and the gardening thing.. my poor dead planters. One thing at a time, right?
