SW: 203.5 CW: 198

I struggle with drinking water on a daily basis. I can now easily get in 4-5 glasses, but 8 is definitely a challenge. It is hard because when I drink so much, I feel like I spend most of my day in the bathroom. I also feel like I am stuck at home, because I don't like being out and having to track down bathrooms.

No problem, I tend to be more relaxed on weekends. I get back to full force on week days. I find it easier to do when I already have to work anyway. Really makes very little sense, considering I have to work every other weekend, but it's how I am.

Excellent work on the spreadsheet. I am completely computer illiterate, and I was able to figure it out. I thank you for making it so easy to do.

Day 1: I spent taking care of sick people. My whole family was sick, but me. I expect it will hit me tomorrow, as it will be my birthday. I didn't get my water in either, drank too much diet cherry coke zero. I spent the day on the couch watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy with my boys. Day 2: I woke up early, got my…

I started off doing the 30 Day Shred every single day. By day 5 I was burning out. I took a day off. I am now doing it every other day and fitting in other workouts on the other days. It's going to take longer than 30 days, but am more willing to do it now. I have seen people post many different schedules they use for…

SW - 205 GW for Dec. - 180

Hi, I am currently at 205 and would ultimately like to get down to 145. I'm giving myself all the time in the world to lose this weight, seeing as it took me umteen years to put it all on.

I think parents have the power to teach their children healthy habits, and should do this. I can say that, yes I allow my children to have treats occasionally. I may let them each choose a candy bar at the grocery store. I however, usually only allow them to eat a fraction of it at one sitting. One candy bar may last my…

Me too, on the jealous side, McDonalds fries are my all time favorite fast food item. Took kids there yesterday and ordered myself a grilled chicken ceasar salad with balsomic viniagrette. I had to steal about 10 fries from the kiddos though.

I'm interested in this. I like challenges, it motivates me to keep going. send a friend request and I'll be in.

I like a store called Scheel's, in Wisconsin. They will ask you what it is you intend to use the shoes for. They ask if you have any feet issues. They measure your feet. They get you more than one size and width and stick around long enough for you to find exactly what you are looking for.

You can enter this in as circuit training for 20 minutes. It will give you an amount of calories burned, or you can use this equation: Take 3.267 X your weight, and then divide by 3. This is how many calories you burn in this workout. I was given this information, and I was told you can find this equation on Jillian's web…

Great work! I am happy you are feeling well again, and have the spirit to kick the weight right out of yourself!

You are looking beautiful, great work!

I felt the same way on weight watchers. I was just always obsessed with my points, and still enjoying all my favorite foods by basically starving myself so that I could enjoy the crud. Through MFP I feel I am learning how to eat and exercise to get healthy. Feel free to invite me as a friend.

Excellent! You look beautiful!

I would like to try this with all of you. I've never done anything like this, but want to give it a try. Thank you for posting where to find the videos. Much cheaper than having to purchase them.

Great advice, thank you:)

I agree, just do it, for you, not for anyone else. I've got my first 5K in Oct. for my son's school. I am already nervous, but nothing is going to stop me from doing it.

For me, it is helping. I love the support and encouragement, also motivation. In the Community setting, it is fun to read and get advice, but it's also nice to have friends who you know you can count on to help you out. It also is a sure way to keep me coming back, because I am a person who doesn't like to disappoint…

Annnnd Done! My 5 yr. old joined me:)

I'm in!

I usually drink one good size mugful of coffee a day. I like my Irish Cream in it. I think if I drank just black coffee, I'd drink much more, but the cream is pretty rich. I also drink 2-3 cans of pop a day, only diet or zero. I grew up with a type one diabetic and am now raising one, so it just has to be diet in my house.…

Yes, thank you, this thread has been very helpful to more than one person. Thank you for asking this question.

Done! Super Challenge:)

Try some yoga pants, they are ultra comfortable and I don't feel they show everyone every little crinkle or fold.
