Looks like many of us our in the same boat. Here's to starting over AGAIN!!!

You look very toned!!! GOOD JOB!!

Thanks, I guess I just needed to hear it again.

So, how bad is it if I only eat 1400 calories and none of my bonus calories? I get the whole starvation mode thing but is it really that big of deal. I read an article about how Mariah Carey lost 20lbs by only eating around 1200-1300 calories. Do you really think she was eating her "bonus" calories.

Falling asleep at work

Thank you for the great responses. I am trying not to look at myself in the mirror today. But, I keep taking a peek and lifting up my shirt to see how large my stomach has gotten. I will get over it. Today is a new day. I have already work out today and burn 700 calories. I do think a non-food reward is a great idea. Thank…

OK, I just really need to vent. I started MFP back in Jan. and I have to say I have cheated a bit but managed to loose 6lbs. I feel like my body was getting tighter. I am very diligent with my work outs. I work out 6-7 days a week. But, lately I have just been binging on food. This weekend was a disaster. I can see such a…

My name means Pure Life for Me... In Costa Rica they saw Puravida all of the time. It's like wishing people well in their lives. It like a great positive mantra.

Hey Thanks... .89...very close

I just came back from a week long vacation in the Dominican Republic. The resort was All-Inclusive as well. It was very difficult to eat healthy. I am too afraid to step on the scale. I think I may wait a week and see how I feel then.

Hysterical!!!!

I want to post Before & After Pics. I have seen other people's pictures which included captions. If anyone knows how to add captions I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks,Margaret

I have a subcription to Shape Magazine and its awesome!!!

. "Banks posted a max work out just yesterday. " Can you provide the link for this work out that was posted?

Raw nuts, dried fruit, wheat crackers, protein bars.

It said my goal weight was between 136-150 which is right on with my current goal of 136. Thanks for the info.

Where exactly do you take the waist and hip measurements? Is it above your hip or at the largest part of your butt?

I was running this morning and I thought I was going to vomit also. I feel fine now. I think you just have to listen to your body. I wouldn't worry about the apple. Maybe your body isn't back to 100% after being sick. Maybe try some Yoga and ease into working out again.

Daniella, I sent you an invitation on nike.com.

Angela, you are more than welcome to join us. I named the challenge "March 50 mile Challenge" on nike.com. It is open to anyone if you have friends who want to join along. You can join directly on nike by searching the challenge. Or I can send you an invitation if you provide your log in name. -Margaret

I was able to create a challenge on nike.com. If you provide your email address of nike login name I can invite you to the challenge. This way we can track each other.

That sounds good. 1st to 50 miles. We can start this month if you want. March is a long month. I think we can even track each others progress online at nike.com too. I will look into it.

How about running a 10K?

Daniela, I love the Nike +. I'm up for a challenge. Right now I am running 4 miles, 3 times a week. I want to increase it to 6 miles. The weather is still cold here so I have been running on the treadmill. What kind of challenge did you have in mind? Margaret

Hey All, I was wondering if anyone knew what kinds of benefits you get from Jumping rope? I have heard that it is really good for you. Thanks,Margaret

I am going on vacation to the Dominican Republic in April and I want to be down to a size 6. I really want a flat stomach for my bikini!!

3/4 Cup Uncle Sam Cereal 1 Cup Skim Milk

Sprouted Torilla w/ Turkey Lunch meat, dijon mustard and Cow Light Wedge. 245 Calories

I was eating all of the Bonus Calories and my weight stayed the same. Now I am only consuming 1400 and I am dropping weight. I think it defeats the purpose if you eat all of the calories that you just burned.
