@CoachBrafford Great goals! Hilarious about annoying your wife! @badats You're still on holiday break? Wow, very cool. What do you teach? I teach 6th grade English, History, and AVID (a college-prep class). Another week in January done. I only did the one workout, but my eating was pretty good and I lost 2.2. Goal to get…

Well, I did it! I restarted Jillian Michaels' 30-Day Shred tonight. It was so much harder than it used to be for me, so that was sad, but I feel so good about doing it! The hubs even did it with me to support. Everyone's goals are awesome! I need to add a water goal for sure. It's hard as a teacher because I can't pee…

What is 5/3/1? Just curious :smile:

Ugh, I'm back after a year hiatus (and lots of weight gained). I feel like I'm at the bottom of a very tall mountain...but I can do this. I've done it before. My goal for 2017 is to start exercising again and feel the joy of exercise. I also need to work on managing stress better.

Wow! Amazing results!

Starting weight (7/10): 228.4 Goal for challenge: 213.4 Week 1 (7/17): 228.4 Week 2 (7/24): Week 3 (7/31): Week 4 (8/7) Week 5 (8/14) Week 6 (8/21) Week 7 (8/28) Week 8 (9/4) I'm just (re)starting tracking, so my starting weight is from 7/17. Thanks for setting this up. I've found, in the past, that knowing I "have" to…

Thanks! Clearly, my busy-ness has taken me away from discussion boards since I first posted this (yikes!) I see your thread, and will check it out now.

Hi! YouTube is such a great way to find short, great workouts. I like Jillian Michaels' workouts because most are 20-30 minutes, and that works well for this full-time working, mom of 2 young kids. Good luck!

I don't know what that is, and I'm curious.

Thanks for the book recommendation thekatielong. It sounds super interesting!

Didn't walk/jog today, but am happy I got a Jillian Michaels' workout :smile:

I'm not sure if I'll keep up with logging, but hopefully it will help me move more!

I FINALLY had a mental shift today and went out for a brist walk/jog. I have been so out of it for almost 4 months. It felt amazing to move, and I'm hoping this feeling motivates me to keep it going! I finally added all my info to the spreadsheet and plan to use it for motivation too! :smile:

Hi! I'm a member who was previously active, but couldn't get onto these boards on my phone until NOW, so I am back!! I can't seem to edit the spreadsheet from my phone though, so I'll try to get to a computer today.

I JUST realized these message boards are now available on the iPhone, so am consisted me BACK!! I used to be very involved, but I am rarely at an actual computer, so it was hard to keep up. Happy to be back! :) Shannon

HI all! I haven't been on the computer version of MFP in a LOOOONG time, so I missed that there is a new 12-week challenge until today! I'm so excited Jo started a new one!!! I just added all my weights since August. I just started back at school (teacher), so some weight dropped at the begging from being on my feet all…

I started the Bikini Body Mommy Challenge 2.0 today. She has all her workouts on her website (www.bikinibodymommy.com) and you tube. It is a 90-day challenge that mixes cardio, weights, and stretching. I did a while back and lost weight and inches, so I'm hoping to boost my recent weightloss this time around. Good luck,…

Every time I bike ride or jog, I use the Pandora station "Dance Cardio". I really pumps me up! Oh, and some of my band's music really gets me going (if you're into a hard rock sound.) It's called Watts & Delzer, and you can find us on itunes and more! (Slightly shameless plug...tee hee) :-) Shannon

I am definitely living the life you described and I am 35. I am married and have two young children (4-6). I have been teaching for 9 years (not too new, but not veteran enough to be seen as "experienced"). Lucky to not have any physical issues (besides extra weight), but slightly worry about aging parents. My mom, who is…

Will there be another challenge?! I LOVE them! I missed my goal by 2.4, BUT I lost 9.6 after a roller coaster weight ride, so I'm ready for more! :-) Shannon

I rarely get on my laptop to check out the community posts. I wish the iPhone app made it more accessible to post on discussion boards :-(

Ugh, I gained 1.6, BUT...I'm not too upset since I've been on Spring Break. This is the least I've gained on a week-long vacation, so I'll take it. I did go jogging twice, and I'm off to go roller skating with the fam today, so I got a little exercise in. :-) Shannon

I'm not a good example, because I give myself a cheat day. Although, will also make sure I exercise that day BEFORE eating. :-) Shannon

Glad to see a loss again, considering I've gained 30 pounds since school started in the fall. I still need the switch in my head to switch to "weight loss mode". I'm faking it for now. Why can't I seem to switch back this time??? I lost 2.6, which is nice, but it should've been more considering how much I've gained so…

I'm in! I have fallen off the wagon, but am ready to get back on....looking to lose all the weight I've gained this last three months :-( Shannon

Ugh, I totally fell off the wagon (as you can tell since I didn't finish off the chart). I'm looking forward to joining the next one! :-)Shannon

My monthly "Girls' Night In" was tonight and I overate for sure. Kinda regretting it now, and not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh-in at all. :( Good luck, ladies! :-) Shannon

I peeked this morning too and am not happy. I have been under calorie goal 6 days this week AND exercised 6 days, but the scale is showing a gain :-( Sometimes I have a drop on Friday mornings, so here's hoping... :-) Shannon

Yikes! Sounds like you're in quite the predicament this week! YOU CAN DO THIS! That cake is NOT WORTH IT. Just picture the scale every time you see it, LOL. Good luck!

Welcome! Glad you're here. This really helps me stay motivated and focused, so I hope it does for you too! :-) Shannon
