I'm in :)

I developed PF when I was training for the breast cancer 3 day, I went to Road Runner Sports and got fitted for shoes before I started training (they had me get on a treadmill and they video taped my foot placement). Well the shoes I was fitted with were obviously not correct for me, as I developed PF. And I've had it ever…

Forgot to weigh myself this morning, I'll do it tomorrow morning and let you all know! I'm hoping for a slight change.... haven't been as dedicated as I would have liked.... but if there is a challenge in Oct, I can be more dedicated and actually lose the whole 10lbs :) Great job to everyone so far!

So exciting! Way to go! I have a 5K coming up in Nov, and I'm hoping to be able to run the entire thing. Last year I ran, walked, ran, walked and so forth. If I can get through the 5k, I expect there to be more in my future. And hopefully move onto a 10K. I'm not so sure about a half marathon... but I'd love to say I was…

You look amazing! I cant wait to have before and after pictures! Still a ways to go, but I'll get there :)

I'd love to know what people think on this as well? I've asked the same question but its still a little unclear to me. From what I understand eating the calories back is ok and you'll still lose the weight. And not eating them might help with weight loss to begin with, but in the long run it might hinder the weight loss…

I'm definitely going to give this a try! Thanks for the advice :)

:( no change for me this week

I havent started the program yet, but want to and was curious what most everyone else does... which is the reason for the question. I have a lot of hills round me (steep ones) but I could make a route thats not so bad. I was going to go to the gym in my complex the other morning and start the program, but there were too…

I think I'd be interested, whats the name of the app your using?

I'm exactly like you, I prefer to put my headphones in and get my workout done. I'm not a big socializer at the gym and it drives me nuts when someone wants to sit there and talk about anything and everything. I know they are being nice, and I'm being nice by responding but really I like gym time to be "me" time, which I…

I'm down 3lbs! Super stoked to see the scale numbers going down :)

Do you watch the shows while exercising at home or at a gym? I usually watch whatever is on the TV while at the gym, but pretty sure I don't have control of what I'm watching! The gym at my apartment has tv's, I need to find the best time to be in there to the point where I can control the TV. I enjoy watching Biggest…

Thank you! What both of you have said is awesome! I'm going to create a focus board for myself to hang in by bedroom as a daily reminder and I think what both of you have said will be awesome to post along with it! Thanks so much! I've requested to add you both as friends :)

The "topic" was supposed to read "I need that push". Sorry it got cut off....

I've done the vitamin B6 and B12 injections, with a very strict diet to follow. I didn't follow the diet as strict as they wanted because I didn't have enough energy to exercise, and I wanted to do strength training to make sure I didn't have excess skin when I lost weight. I wanted to tone up while losing the weight. I…

Strength training is important when trying to lose weight. It helps tone your body that way you don't end up with a ton of loose skin. 1lbs of muscle is smaller than 1lbs of fat. And I have read that muscles do help you burn more calories. A perfect routine would be to do about a 5 to 7 min cardio warm up, followed by a…

1.6lbs down, I'm stoked for that! But hoping to continue with the steady decrease :)

Feel free to add me as well, more motivation is always welcomed :)

Thanks for all the friend request! The more friends, the more motivation. :)

HEHEHE I figured out the signature, but will still need to know where to find the spreadsheet I've read people talking about. Thanks!

I'd love to be a part of this challenge, 10lbs in Sept would be awesome! But I'm new to myfitnesspal, how do I create a signature for my post. Also, where do I find this spreadsheet that tracks everyone's weight-in's? Sorry for being a newbie, but would love help from anyone :) Thanks!

I know exactly how you feel, maybe not as many hours as you but I'm working two jobs as well. A full time and a part time job in order to pay off debt before getting married (I want to save for the wedding too). I work about 50 to 60 hours a week, and have the time to get up in the morning to exercise before work but I…

Great, thanks for all the information!

So my calorie daily goal is 1580 (if I consumed this exact amount), and I exercised to the point of burning 500 calories my net would be 1,080..... so to make sure I stay above 1200 calories a day I should eat an additional 120 calories? Thanks!

Thank you for all the friend requests! Its crazy how learning so many people are in the same boat as you, ends up being motivation! I'm stoked about my future and my weight loss right now! My boyfriend can even see the motivation I have right now :) Keep the friend request coming, I'd love to make more! I need the…
