I'm on the same page, feel free to add me! I'm currently looking to lose ~15 pounds and am training for a half marathon, so I'm getting a fair amount of running/yoga in.
-
I definitely understand stopping and restarting - I'm back on a health kick as of 2-3 weeks ago. Feel free to add me!
-
I don't know if there's a group, but I also love yoga! I know it doesn't always log a lot of calories on here but I think it's great for getting in shape and keeping a good attitude (especially about health). Feel free to add me
-
Same here, feel free to add me! I've been back for about 3 weeks and it's been amazing - stick with it!
-
I'm in a similar place, feel free to add me! I crept up to 192 (as a 5'8 woman) about 3 year ago, and have bounced around 170, and am now at 180, looking to lose 15 pounds for good.

I'm in the same boat and am worried about starting up this new school year! Feel free to add me for support

I'm a teacher! I carry a water bottle with me everywhere and buy bulk 100 calorie almond packs for me and the kids. I definitely struggle with stress eating because of teaching though! That's great that you fit in exercise during the work day! And that you lost weight last year, congratulations!

I'm recently out of college, and in grad school along with work, so I'm coming from the same place. I am aiming to lose about 15 more pounds. Feel free to add me for support!

Early 20s and in grad school, feel free to add me! I started MFP in college and lost about 20 pounds, but end up gaining much of it back. Now I'm restarting, like you, with a new commitment and a hope to lose 15 more pounds.

I'm looking to lose about 20 pounds as well, with about 15 more to go. I'm also training for a half marathon, which I'm hoping will make it easier, since I love to eat and eat quite a bit. Feel free to add me, I need more MFP friends for support!

Oh yeah- I'm also trying out something that I learned about in an Econ class to help me stick to my goals. There are different sites that offer "commitment devices", which are basically plan-ahead consequences for yourself if you don't succeed. The big ones are Stickk, Beeminder, and Pact. You can set your own goals and…

I'm facing the same thing. I find that it really helps me to plan my workouts into my schedule in advance. I found a gym near my grad school and I have time for a quick workout after work and before class. Once you've scheduled it in, it feels more manageable, plus actually doing the workout will help with stress, as…

Congrats on the great start! I'm trying to lose about 20 pounds, but the last 10 have really tripped me up in the past. Feel free to add me :)

I get them too! rolling your shins with the tennis ball or a foam roller helps. Also icing afterwards + making sure you stretch your calves/hamstrings. I generally try to space out my long runs, run on soft ground (although some people say it actually makes no difference) and use the elliptical for warm ups or interval…

My fav low cal dessert is oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I make the recipe from the top of a Quaker Oats tub ("vanishing oatmeal raison cookies" but replace the raisons with chocolate and use about 1/2 the butter (and add a little milk for consistency). The recipe still works well even if you cut the butter waaaay down.…

Yep. I weigh myself every day but only log about once a week. So when I weighed 2 lbs more today, I'm not logging it. Which feels like lying.
-
Yep, totally in the same boat. I find it the hardest when I want to be social but not add calories at parties :/
-
My goal's 1780, I've been losing slowly but surely for the last month. Sometimes I'm under (never below like 1300), and occasionally I spike to around 2000. I'm generally active

way to be a champ and go for it!

I'd say at least go for a light run because that can actually help your muscles recover. My coach used to send us on 20-30 minute jogs after competitions to make sure we weren't sore the next day. Also stretching or using a foam roller should help. If not, at least enjoy knowing you did a good job lifting.
