Thank you so much! You have inspired me and made this a lot easier. It is so much nicer to take this journey with friends :flowerforyou:

I can't believe I never thought about writing down my workouts. I have a weekly schedule that includes what our family members have going on and what is for dinner each night. We've used it forever but now I just added what my workout plans are for the week :) We do eat a lot of fresh berries as well. My hubby and I each…

First of all please allow me to add another congratulations to you on your weight loss. Second please let me throw in yet another THANK YOU for being logical and sharing what you have learned with all of us. I agree with the person who stated your post should be mandatory for all newbies to MFP. You probably have no idea…

My normal weigh ins at work with the dietician are on Monday's so I'll post last Mondays.

SOOOOOOOOOO many of us are with you girl! :)

2. Running- try out a new trail, course, one you haven't done for a while. Or try to go a distance further than you usually go. 3. Online/videos- try to do at least 10 minutes a day of some sort of youtube video or home video work out, whether it be dance, yoga, etc. on top of your usual routine. There are some great work…

I saw the preview for it and I couldn't believe that a show was being made about them. Makes me sad too. We've stooped so low towards reality tv. I admit to watching DWTS and even an occasional Survivor but thats about it. I don't watch anything that makes me feel children are being exploited and that includes Dance Moms…

I did it!!! No worse for the wear either. Just tired and sweaty but happy!

You totally can do it!!!!!

LOL that sounds quite interesting and fun! I am going to try mountain biking for the first time. Hubby is taking me to the local trails to try the green beginner path. No more paved roads for me! :)

I like these challenges. I am working on picking up my pace while riding my bike. I want to get over 10mph on average....I'm so close. I have been averaging 9 to 9.5 mph. I will made a new dinner tonight and used orange juice for the marinade instead of something with oil in it. The chicken was awesome! Hmmmmmmm maybe this…

Simply wonderful! Thanks for sharing and encouraging us!

Well I can't say I've attempted a push up in a long time so I will choose that one as well as stetching after working out. I have been terrible at that! I usually get home and collapse in puddle of sweat :) I really don't do liquid calories although every now and then I will do something "skinny" from Starbucks but it's…

I agree that this was a great question. I have had it happen in the past and never knew why. Now if only I knew why my thighs do that snappy thing after I get home from a good walk LOL.

What goes into my body is fuel for my Mind, Heart and Soul. My relationship with food is going to change. I can feel and see it. I loved your sentiment! Sounds like you are making some tremendous positive changes! Good work.

You are doing a terriffic job of being healthy and hydrated!

CONGRATULATIONS to you! What a hard task and you are soooooooooo almost there. You look really awesome and I can only imagine how much better you feel. FABULOUS :)

Those both sound like such great ideas. I am not sure what our menu will hold but for me it will include lots of veggies and fruit to keep me full. I love buffalo chicken so if you don't care to share I'd love to have that recipe! Thanks :)

Ok since I do not have a personal firearm (yet hahaha) and I don't have mace or pepper spray. Someone recommended wasp or hornet spray. What do you think about that in a pinch? I am not usally the scardey type but I had an event that happened the other night where someone appeared out of nowhere and it really did startle…

Awesome! It's so hard not to check it every day and then freak out over every thing. Our area had huge storms and we've been without power in a lot of my area and that includes where I work. That meant our nutrionist wasn't able to weigh us in today and I was soooooo ready for it. I ended up putting on my work scrubs and…

Well did you make it???? I hope so! Wishing you well.

Wow you totally listed some I haven't even begun to work on yet. I think thats a good thing....I think.....LOL. I am going to choose: 2) Log every day and stay within your calorie goal 4) 8 glasses of water every day 5) Weight lifting- count minutes spent lifting weights whether they be light weights, free weights,…

Sounds like everyone who posted did all sorts of different things to stay fit. How interesting that we all are lucky enough to be able to make decisions to stay fit that can also be fun or even useful. Well I did end up riding my bike both days and got a walk in as well on Saturday night. Today I walked quite a bit in the…
