Thanks everybody for the inspiring stories! It has definitely helped me to get off my butt this week! I have been doing pretty well, got my *kitten* to the gym twice already this week, and signed up for a 5K run in September as my goal to work towards. I think this is the real thing this time, as im setting small goals for…

Hey everyone! been away from mfp for a while.....was gone for a trip to Dominican which definitely did not help my weight loss. Came back about 2 weeks ago, had gained 3 lbs....and ive almost lost it all since....probably mostly from the drinks and bad food....the crappy part is, i came home and then got a bad cold, so I…

Hey everyone! Congrats on all the great losses this week! and for those who may have had a less than good week, keep your chin up, it only means that next week can get better!!! As for me, I am down 2.2 lbs!!! So now down to 160.8lbs!!! Can't wait to get under that 160 mark again!!! Good luck this week everyone!

My mini goal this week: No eating 4 hours prior to going to bed! As for last week, my mini goal was to work out 5 times in the week. Almost accomplished--> i worked out 4 times. So I am getting there. I am just hoping to really keep on track!

SW:164.2 CW:163lbs

I can weigh-in on Fridays for sure! and I think my mini goal for this week is to work out 5 times. doesnt matter how long, I just want to do some exercise 5 times and start getting used to the consistency!

Hi Ladies, hope its okay that I joined, this sounds like a good group and I am really looking for a good lifestyle change! Ive been struggling with my weight since 18 years old, and now I'm 23 and I'm, dying to get back at a reasonable weight before me and my boyfriend decide to tie the knot. We have talked about getting…

Something that has worked for me during this journey is substituting one of my meals per day with a salad! I have found myself with more energy, way less calories....and just feeling alot better.

Hillarious!

I presently have 3 jobs. 1 is part time and then my hospital job is fulltime and my third job is casual (pick-up basis). ts crazy, but somehow I make it work!

Adding Green tea to the diet is not only an awesome weight loss additive, but great for your overall health. Also, helped me stay full after every meal. I would try to drink atleast 1 cup of green tea (even if it was small) after each meal. Green tea is also shown to burn alot of fat, so in addition to the food and…

So im really discouraged this week. Came right back up to 160lbs. Don't know if it was the scale i used or what, but im definitely down about it this week. ive been tracking my food every day, and well exercise could be better, but ive been managing about 3 times per week. Its just discouraging, because ive only got 73…

Thanks for the great information! its nice to get some needed advice especially when we all have those periods of plateau! I'll be sure to incorporate more strength/weight training this week!

Hi Ladies! I am a Registered Nurse from Ontario Canada. I've been nursing for 1 year and a half. Presently, I am nursing in Oncology, and although it is very demanding, I do love it! Nursing has been great, but with all the long hours and with having a second job in a Dr's office, I find that I am lacking the time to…

Hey! finally someone like me who is 5"1 1/2!!! Great to find some more shorties like me to lose weight with!!!

Hi, my name is Melinda, and i'm excited to join this group! I am 5 foot 1 1/2. and and trying to get down to my present goal weight of 140 lbs! I am from Canada and am a Registered Nurse. Love the challenge idea! Good look on your weight loss everyone!

I am glad to join this group, and i love the challenge! In terms of drinking water, I have been doing amazing this week, with drinking atleast 8, some days I have even went over. In terms of exercise, this has been challenging so far, but If I look at yesterday, the beginning of my week, I already worked out 100 minutes in…

Thanks for letting me join. My weigh-in stats are the following: Starting weight (2 weeks ago): 160 lbs Last friday's weigh-in: 156lbs Height: 5 foot 1 1/2 Weight goal: 140lbs

Hi, I know i'm about 2 weeks late on this challenge, but i'm hoping you guys will let me join anyways. My name is Melinda, i'm from Ontario, Canada. I am a Registered Nurse. I am definitely a "shorty" with a height of 5 foot 1 1/2 inches. I've been struggling with my weight loss for almost 3 years now. 2 years ago I lost…

hey, i was with the crazy canucks a while back, i really shouldnt have left, simply cause i really fell off the bandwagon, my weight has been fluctuating all over the place....unfortunately.....but i am truly serious about getting this weight loss back on track because my best friend is getting married next year and i am…

thanks so much ladies for the inspiring words, u guys are so great! and well, the 17 pounds is throughout the last 2 years, so its not as great as it seems, the most i went down was down to 152 last year which would have been a total of 28 lbs lost, but unfortunately it did not stay there.....but you guys are…

Helppppp..........................why is it that i can never stay on track, while others like you guys are doing so well? theres nothing that i want more than to be healthy and thin....

hey canucks, this week, not the best, only lost 0.2 lbs ( i weigh in on tuesdays) but im hoping to get back into gear and get going with this exercise and healthy eating, which started today i burned 901 calories doing some cardio at the gym today, definitely a huge accomplishment for me! anyways good luck everyone with…

Dont worry too much about the gain, seeing as you have been working out so much it might simply be some muscular weight, just keep at it and watch next week! as for the HRM, i would suggest one~! i have the polarf-6 hrm and i love it! it was the best 100 dollars i ever spent, honestly, i use it all the time at the gym, and…

OMG!! i love kickboxing! i miss it alot right now, (couldnt afford it for the summer) but i honestly swear by it, its so much fun, and i just cant get enough of kicking the **** out of a bag and taking my anger out!!! haha

Name.............................. Start Weight ............................ Current Weight ......................... + / - LBS Emmylou13...........................157.4............................................154.2.................................. -3.2 LBS…

I havent had the chance to weigh in today either, and im thinking it might not be the best number, i feel as if i did pretty good last week, but only managed to work out 3 times, and i know for a fact that my eating wasnt perfect or even up to par, so I am challenging myself this week, to log in all my calories every day…

i am very excited my day started off really well! went to the gym and did 1 hour of cardio and managed to burn 512 calories! and now im eating a taco salad, minus the tacos because too many carbs....but all the other yummy ingredients!

hey there, new to the group, so im a litle bit behind, but my current weight is 163.2 and my starting weight was 180 lbs 1 year ago, recently i havent been able to lose much, but i figure its a good start to join a group like you guys!

oh, and i also wanted to know, do any of you take part in any support groups on here? i am in true need of a good one with lots of good ppl like you! let me know, or we could even just continue with this group, you are all so supportive, and i find that if i can talk to ppl about my journey every couple days, then it helps…
