You've got this! Started my 'official' journey December 2021. Down about 82lbs and have 70lbs to go. Please feel free to add me.

I would love to do this, although, what I am nervous about is 1.5 hours of working out a day. I hate failing at something and know my limits.

Former Jersey Girl here...Representing for Sussex & Bergen County ;) Live in Colorado now ((and LOVE it!!!)) & totally miss not having to pump my gas... Totally don't miss Jerz, except for pizza/bagels/awesome Chinese food...hahaha!!

hi there...I actually made this my goal about a week ago :) I lost 1.4 lbs this past week :) So, 18.6lbs to go. I would love to join in on this challenge...so, please count me in!

You're not going to look like a dummy trying things out at your gym...I can totally relate with that feeling... I used to hate walking/running INDOORS on a treadmill -- just something about being in the same place and going nowhere. I love the outdoors. I'm not a runner by any means...it's probably the workout that I hate…

I'm late to the rodeo this week. Been struggling, since a car accident in mid december. had my first physical therapy appointment today. Moved around for about 45 mins and had my first treatment. While I am committing to 180 minutes a week, this journey is all about me getting back into a fitness routine. I competed in my…

Bueller?!?! BUMP!

i think that is awesome!! It brought a smile to my face to see that a friend replied to a NJ thread... This is coming from an NJ native, who now lives in Colorado... BUMP!! Would love to hear from the person, who called into 101.5 this morning...

This is totally fridge worthy...I might just have to print it out!

OMG - LOVED IT!!! Thank you for sharing!!

Hi there, Lindsey... Here is how I incorporated my splurge points into my caloric intake - I manually adjusted my goals. Roughly 1WW point is 50 calories - so I took how many points I can eat within a day & multiplied that by 50 calories. For the 'splurge' calories, I did the same calculation - 35 splurge (bonus) points *…

Just had this one this morning: http://paleomg.com/21dsd-creamy-green-apple-smoothie/ It was super creamy, although, delicious!! Enjoy!!

Spaghetti squash is AMAZING!!! I'm so happy that they are now in season. I have over a dozen recipes, which I just took out & plan on making them over the next couple of weeks. I tried them for the first time last winter & fell in love with them. DELICIOUS!! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed...Feel free to inbox me,…

2 local craft beers & baked quinoa cakes with green bean almondine & spinach salad...YUM!!

I have a stash of almonds in my desk drawer...as well as, a couple of protein bars, which I picked up at a discount... I usually do my high protein meals at lunch & dinner, so I will bring a peach, berries or cherries for snacks. Jerky is sooooo delicious!

One of my favorite meals is a shrimp & broccoli rabe dish I make. Serves: 3-4ppl Ingredients: 1 lb of shrimp broccoli rabe fresh garlic cloves olive oil Optional: grated parmesean cheese diced tomatoes (either fresh tomatoes or a can of the Hunts diced tomatoes with seasoning) Whole wheat penne Shrimp - steam or grill them…

Hi! I'm doing my first EVER triathlon on August 4th. I really started training for it about 2.5 weeks ago & struggle every day with is that enough training time. A little background - I just moved from the East Coast (NJ) to Colorado towards the end of May. Within two weeks of starting my new job, a co-worker asked if I…

Hi - Here is my secret - when playing a round of golf (approx. 4 hours) I can burn upwards to 1500 cals; swimming laps for about 90 minutes would also put me over 1000 cals; biking for an hour and a half would put me over the mark, as well. I rely on my HRM for my caloric burn. The database & the equipment at the gym have…

I'm down for that!! Pretty cool idea :)

I tend to weigh all my food before cooking it, although, ALSO weight it after. Here is a great example - I make a box of ziti for the family. On the side of the box, it tells you how many "dry" portions there are, although, I weight it again after to make sure that I can divide the total cooked weight by the serving size…

i'm up for the challenge too!! Let's rock the month of June!

Swimming...It's a full body workout!! I can totally relate with knee injuries ((was a competitive athlete from grade school thru college)). I can't do squats/lunges either, so I started doing Reformer Pilates, to strengthen/stretch my muscles. Been practicing for the past three months and haven't felt this great in a long…

Thank you so much for posting this!! I greatly appreciate it. I've had problems with my knees, since I was a competitive swimmer in high school. Over the years, I would notice pain while performing various activities (skiing, hiking, golfing, etc), and just wrote it off as 'getting older'. It got to the point of being…
