i was down 2 lbs last week but then gained them back over the weekend :(. I think it's mostly because yesterday I was starving for some reason and was eating pretty much everything (so that I could still be hungry, apparently). So I'm a little frustrated and hoping I don't spend this whole challenge losing the same 2 lbs!

07/29/11: 154 lb 08/05/11: 152 lb so excited! i think last friday i was a little heavier from going out the night before, but hopefully i'll be able to keep this 2lb/week loss going!

this is a great idea! My name is Elyse, I'm 21 years old and I live in New Orleans. I'm about to start my senior year of college at Tulane, and I've been on and off MFP since June 2009. When I started I weighed 165 and I've been able to keep 10 lbs off, but have struggled to maintain a lower weight loss (and I know I can…

i'm starting tomorrow! after reading this i'm nervous, but definitely excited.

"impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. impossible is not a fact. it's an opinion. impossible is not a declaration. it's a dare. impossible is potential. impossible is temporary. impossible is…

i used to be part of this challenge (i think in 2010) but stopped because i wasn't using mfp as much. bump so i can join again in august!

i just bought ripped in 30 and i'm planning to start in the next few days!

eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, avocados, yogurt. i used to HATE all of those things before, but love them now!

add me! i'm 21 and i'm looking to lose 20-30 pounds (that would be ideal, but really i just want to get in great shape and lose the weight along the way). i've been on MFP for two years, but i haven't really been that diligent about using it during the school year, hence the slow weight loss.

Me! I'm training for the Nike Women's Half Marathon right now, which is in San Francisco in October. My best friends from high school and I are running it together and having a reunion/girls weekend (the three of us haven't been in the same place at the same time since 2009) in SF that weekend. It'll be my second half (I…

i'm in!

i definitely recommend purchasing a HRM; it's a much more accurate way to find out how many calories you're burning than relying on the counts on treadmills/ellipticals, and even the calculator on MFP. i have a garmin 305 that i like, my only gripe about it is that it doesn't get an accurate read when i exercise inside.…

bump! i've been really MIA, too, so hopefully i'll be able to get back on track with everything this week!

my first half was the rock n roll mardi gras in new orleans in feb. 2011. i'm about to start training for my second half, the nike women's half marathon in san francisco, that's in october. and i'm planning to do rock n roll new orleans again in march 2012!

the weather is changing down here (i live in new orleans) and it's hot and humid alllllllllll the time. it makes it so much harder to get out and work out, because it involves either getting up at the crack of dawn before it gets too hot or waiting until the evening when tons of other things are going on and i'm competing…

bump for later

i've lost 5 pounds since i've been doing this challenge - yay!!!

bump! i've been wanting to try this challenge for a while.

can't wait to get started! and now that i have some free time i'll be able to work on the challenges this week! the only thing is that i've had some difficulty finding time to do a workout video and 100 hours of pilates and run. how has everyone else been balancing this?
