Loss this week: 1.8=) So far, this week 2 days off food program and not enough exercise. Tomorrow will be a challenge because there is a full day party at a country club for a friend's 50th. The day is at the beach with the official start time of the evening party at 4pm. My plan of action for tomorrow is a healthy…

My body aches so after working out which I am talking only light weights or a spin class. I need to incorporate more stretch and yoga. One of my goals for the week!

Dr. Mark Hyman has numerous books on healthy eating.

Today I walked for a mile. I will do weights and a spin class tomorrow.

Hello, I am Sveltewisher from Brooklyn, NY, and Wellfleet, MA. First, I would like to thank kayjosh2422 and Josh for administering this program. Thank you!! Similar to Brett & Jessica, I have been on the MFP weight loss roller coaster for a while. However, I have a new doctor who has diagnosed me with "Metabolic Syndrome…

Happy Sunday! My plan is to exercise today for 20 minutes lifting weights and a beach walk. Thank you for asking -- this post made me add in weights to my agenda.=)

I an in this challenge for real!

I ate healthy today & walked 4 miles in glorious sunshine.

I did not do well on Wed & Thursday. Probably, stress but I need to learn to track my food even under stress. Today, I will be better - breakfast was high protein (2 egg omelet with cheddar cheese) and piece of toast.

I feel strong today from healthy eating yesterday. Last night, I had the leftover Easter dinner minus the candies and cookies.=) I will be running around NYC today, so I will pack my lunch with a water bottle. Heavy but smart if I don't have to think about eating out. Thank you for the weekly check-in!

We ate leftover lamb for Easter dinner yesterday. I shop weekly so there are a couple of meals and good, healthy food in the house. In an ideal world, I would like to plan my meals out the night before. Unfortunately, not usually the case. If I eat a healthy breakfast, the rest falls in place for me.

I decided to do the challenge so I ate mindlessly this weekend with special emphasis on Easter candy. I gained 4.2 pounds in 2 days! Weight always comes on so easy!

I found this website today. Love the idea of a July 4th challenge. My son is getting married on 5/2/15. Life has been hectic so only starting to commit to weight 1 month before the wedding.=(

Thank you to the administrator of the spreadsheet!

I am excited to join this group. I wish I joined earlier. I am not sure of the spreadsheet??

Just for today- I will log all my food Exercise at least 30 minutes Drink minimally 8 glasses of water Don't eat after dinner.

Sometimes, I will simply put "generic homemade meatball" and count that as a normal meatball. If I will use the recipe numerous times, I will put the ingredients under create a new recipe.

I track my water and include herbal teas in the count. If I don't drink water, I am constipated.

My son will be married on May 3, 2014, to a woman that I will be proud to call my daughter. So, I have 26 pounds and bat wings to lose in the next 9-1/2 months. Any ideas for loose hanging skin on upper arms? I have been journaling in MFP for the last 6 days and exercising. Surprisingly, I didn't snap back to exercising as…

48 grams without weight lifting. If you weight lift & put in the exercise, you will need more protein. Protein is in a lot of things. I read somewhere that it takes 80% of the protein calories to digest it. Meat? Cheese? Eggs? Milk? Yogurt? Whey? Good luck! 5 5 5%

Happy New Year! I have been on program for 3 days. My January resolution is no processed sugars nor alcohol - my addictive sugar binge feeds into each other. I gained back 18 pounds of the 20 pounds lost last year but interestingly enough stay minimally 2 inches smaller on all circumferences. I need to figure out how to…

Okay...It is the day before Valentine's Day and it will be my FIRST valentine's day without chocolate or red wine. Scary:huh: However, I am on a good roll - I will stay go out to a restaurant with my sweetie but have a lean, healthy meal. Wish me luck!

Bump! Fabulous...Have you entered this into MFP recipes for counts? Thank you so much!:laugh:

Cindy, I am so sorry about your Mom.
