I would love new friends. I need to lose over 100 pounds and could use the encouragement

Add me!

I want in. How do I join?

My goal was 13,000 My end result . . . . 13,045 Man that was a really hard challenge that consisted of only taking 2 days off for the month!! I am so proud of myself and everyone else on here! Good job guys!

My name is Christi, from Texas. I have never been tiny but growing up I wasn't "big". In college I started gaining weight and ended up gaining 130 pounds in the ten years after high school. So now I am working on getting back down to a healthy weight. I am starting an ab challenge and maybe a squat challenge for June. I do…

I'm in! May's challenged me to do more than I have ever done before!

Week 1: 2815 Week 2: 3290 Week 3: 2861 Current Total: 9,966 Monthly Goal: 13,000 4,034 Calories left! This is so much harder than I expected. I now use a hrm for my calories and some activities were less than I thought. Also I didn't count on being sick for part of the month but I think in all I am pretty much on track! I…

Worst Advice: Staying at or below 1200 calories is best! Through this process I have learned that my calorie intake needs to change and right now for me that is at 1450. And I don't like the word diet because all it is die with a t and I feel like I am dying when on a diet. :) I feel healthy and happy learning to make…

I love this "You've got to get up EVERYDAY and fight for you EVERYDAY". I think I am going to have to steal it! You look amazing! You are doing awesome and you have a wonderful attitude. I sent a friend request to you, I love having friends with great attitudes!!

Monthly goal: 13,000 Week 1: 2,815 Week 2: 3,290 total so far: 6,105 Total left: 6,895 This challenge is really pushing me, awesome!

I love anything by Toby Mac (Get back up again, lose my soul, burn for you, etc) to workout to. I like to workout to positive music as well, and really like Christian music. I like Mandesa, old school Mary Mary- Shackles, Kutless, David Crowder, and Jeremy Camp. I like to work out to the black eyed peas as well, but really…

I used this website. I bought the inserts, which are pricey but awesome. But the exercises at the bottom of the page are awesome! Good luck http://www.heel-that-pain.com/

2,815 for my week 1 results!! And that was with me sick for a few days of it!!

Hi, my name is Christi! I am 28 years old and teach 7th grade math. I was searching for a challenge for this month, I always exceed my expectations when I join challenges, so I am super excited! My goal is 13,000 for this month, which I know for me will be a huge challenge but I know that I can do it.

I started putting a dollar in a jar for every pound that I lose that way at the end I will have some mula to buy new clothes. I also add in money when I feel I did something worth rewarding (a whole day without diet coke, veggies with every meal, etc.). It's weird but I LOVE putting the money in the jar and watching it…

I have the polar FT4 and I absolutely LOVE it! I have a large chest as well and was worried but it stretches and is very comfortable. I forget to take it off after I workout because I forget that it is there. I also love that at my gym my watch picks up on all of the cardio machines so I don't have to look at my watch to…

Texan here! I live 60 miles north of Houston off I45! Born and raised Texan, wouldn't have it any other way! :) Feel free to add me!

Cheese- string cheese or laughing cow Almonds Berries- black, blue, rasp or straw

You can add me as long as you don't judge. My diary may not be pretty everyday but I continue to let people look, it holds me accountable. I log every day (96th day straight today) and I am completely honest with what I eat!

Attempting to add my ticker!

I'm in but going to modify it just a bit and do my mileage on the treadmill, elliptical and/or bike! I can't do the same thing everyday (I have to change it up) I'm so excited to get started!

You can add me! I'm not a mommy but I can still encourage you as you work towards your goals!

You can add me! I have a long way to go and have a long journey, so I would love any encouragement!

You can add me! Actually anyone can add me! I am also a fellow Texan.

Feel free to add me! I log every day and I have my diary open (though it needs a lot of improvement)!

I'm in!! I love challenges!!

My first few months after I changed my diet and exercise my cycle was off. I knew I wasn't preggers but now it is back to normal. I eat 1500 cals and workout 4-5 times a week, so I don't eat too little and I don't think I work out too hard or too much. So yes, I think that a change in diet and exercise can have an impact…

I agree with what everyone else is saying. I was at 281(beg of December) and now down to 263 (Mid March), and I have been successfully losing 1.5-2 pounds a week. I eat 1530 calories a day, and do at least 45 minutes of cardio a day/5 times a week. I do strength training 2 times a week (mainly because I hate it :smile: )…

Just came back from one and this is what I brought, hope it helps! -pretzels -Special K Chocolate pretzel bars -grapes -apples -mini rice cakes -popcorn -Lot's of water I also prepackaged the pretzels, grapes, and mini rice cakes so that I wouldn't over eat. Have fun!!

I'm down 20 pounds and I see small changes. My tight pants are now loose in the butt and thighs, my shirts at the top are bigger, my bras fit differently but of course I see little to no change in my midsection (Ive been told to be patient it will come). But the best part is I have people tell me that I look different,…
