Hello all! Been a member since 2012, but have not been active for over a year due to health issues. I am starting fresh. I hope to get back into my old workout routine and amp up my nutrition. Between MFP and my workout app, I hope to meet all the mini goals I plan on setting for myself. Good luck to you all!!

I usually exercise every day. Nothing major...just 30-60 minutes of cardio. I do some sort of strength training 2-3 days of the week for 15-30 minutes. Congrats on going to the gym! 40 minutes is a great length of time. Keep up the great work!

I have been on MFP for almost a year. I missed 4 days due to technical issues. I am addicted! The people on here are so encouraging, supportive and motivating! Feel free to add me! :)

Hello all! First time in on this thread/challenge. I gave myself this exact challenge for this past week (to counter-act the holiday) and I managed to burn over 4100 calories! So, I had already committed myself to burning 4500 for the week! What an awesome week this will be! Weekly Goal: 4500 Mon: calories burned (how they…

I weigh the first of the month only. There are too many fluctuations throughout the month for me.....so it makesno sense for me to weigh more than the one time. Plus, this is more about how I feel and what I can do versus what number the scale gives me. :)

Thanksgiving was just fine! Celebrated early and then went for a long, hill filled walk. Burned over 600 calories so that there was no guilt when I had 1/2 a slice of each the pumpkin and pean pies! :) And, seeing as theyare my FAVORITE...cutting my pleasure by half was VERY hard! LOL! Hope you all have had a great holiday!

Just played 100 minutes of badminton! Need about 300 hundred more burned calories to meet that goal and still need to walk 10 miles! Not going to get that long of a walk in...not now....but I will get one in before 9pm.

Well...I have done the following to complete my weekend challenge! 80 push-ups, 70 squats, and 60 lunges!

I refuse to worry about it! Since I plan on working out that morning and I am the one preparing most of the food...I know I will be just fine. Plus, it is just one day and I could never eat enough of it to cause me any long term issues. If you need to, take a look at what food they have and pick the 3-4 you REALY want.…

I am hoping to lose 6 pounds by December 1st....starting new workouts in the morning...so will see what happens! Good luck to you all on this weeks goal!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much! I added mine! Warning to all of you though....I only weigh in on the first of every month! :)

It could happen....it is my 38th birthday after all! LMAO!

I did not get Chicken pox until I was nearly 14...and it was SEVERE! I was violently ill and it took over my entire body...inside and out. I also developed a severe kidney infection due to the Chicken Pox. I got quarter size blisters on my feet and in between my toes that took over 8 months to heal!!! I literally had to be…

With the exception to the milk I have in the mornings I have cereal for breakfast....water is ALL I drink! LOVE it! Always have! We were a Kool-aid house (there were 5 kids), but 9 out of 10...I chose water. There are many helth benefits to water...IMHO.

Height: 5'5" SW: 298 CW: 252 X-mas GW: 240 UGW: 150 I weigh in the first of every month, so I won't be doing the weekly weigh in! But, I will weigh in on Christmas Day!

Looking forward to do this....but I only weigh myself the first of every month....so I will not be doing weekly weigh-ins! Height: 5'5" Starting weight: (from whenever you've started continuously using MFP) 298 12/25 Goal Weight: 240 UGW: 150

I had a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup....but just one! HUGE win!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only weigh the first of every month! So I will join you...but as a support for all of you doing it for the first time!!!! Good luck to you all!

Nuts, whole grain pasta, fiber bars, chicken sausage (multiple flavors and high in protein and fiber). You can make smoothies for breakfast or snack using fruit, low cal fat free yofurt/greek yogurt and flavored water, juice or skim milk.

anywhere between 25%-35%!

For average weight loss, 1-2 pounds lost per week is considered the norm for keeping the weight off. Now, I am only 5'5" and have a total of 145 pounds to lose (from when I started back in April....I had already lost quite a bit from january until I signed up on MFP in April). I only weigh myself on the 1st of every month,…

When I was 15, about 10 friends and I were playing Truth or Dare. I was dared to go down by the curb where a wooden sign and fence were, crawl around like a dog and pretend to take a leak on the wood...for the passing of three vehicle. Wouldn't you know it...the very first car to go by was a U.S Marshall. He stopped his…

No set time...but I do prefer to take my long walk of the day after 9pm...and usually walk 90 minutes or so. Otherwise, all other exercise is done whenever I do it.

I like to make stuffed chicken breasts. I butterfly the breasts and then add about 1.5-2 tbsp of a cheese mixture that usually includes: 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese, 1/2 cup shredded mild cheddar, basil, oregano, pepper and 2 tbsp parmesan Then I fold the breasts closed and tie closed. I put in an electric skillet or…

Little Bo Peep!

Friday...no work. Just cleaning the house, running errands, and getting my 8 miles in. Eating like I normally do. Saturday, getting my walking in before 2pm...having friends over for a GIRLS NIGHT IN...everybody is bringing something to share, so will do my best to behave. Sunday, getting my 8 miles in...then who knows!…

Did you make it? If so, log the recipe in the the recipe builder. Or, if you know approximately how it was made, put that info in the builder.

LOV THEM! I get half off every Friday at the Thrift stores here with member card. And, what better way to clothes shop for smaller clothing than at a thrift store where you pay 1/10 of what you would pay elsewhere.....especially if you are going down several sizes like I am!

I am going to make a Little Bo Peep costume! My mom made me one when I was a kid and I wore it for like 5 years! LOVED it! Thought I would try and repeat it! LOL!
