Thanks shutterbug4674!

Just checking in blues! Yesterday was a success for me. Stayed under my cals and I did a spin class at the gym. Tonight I have a boxing class.... and eating is on target. I've been drinking a ton of water as well. Also, started taking a multi-vitamin. debnu1 - I get into a bad mood when I eat unhealthy too. I feel…

I love the vacuum suction idea! Wish it was that easy. The scale wasn't nice to me either. I had a couple bad days through. But I've had perfect weeks, just like you, and got nothing out of it. I was so upset. Sometimes that throws me off and I nearly give up. It's so hard. Our bodies just aren't as simple as staying…

Hello Blues. I apologize for being MIA. We hosted 7 adults and 3 children all weekend long. I wasn't expecting to have them both Saturday and Sunday. I was not able to get in any gym time and I didn't eat like I should have. The scale wasn't to happy with me. But I'm back to planning, logging and exercising today. It was a…

Hello Blues!! Stopping by to say hello. We are hosting a bunch of our friends today for an igloo or fort making challenge. We still have plenty of snow in our backyard to play with. I am making lasagna for everyone. Should be a fun day. Last night I made it to a spin class. Tomorrow I have another spin class. Have a good…

Feel better soon. Glad you got an appt.

My cals are set to 1200. But I try to workout so I can have 1300-1400. My weight loss has been slow recently, I'm getting myself back into a groove after the holidays.

almomay - sorry to hear your baby is sick. I hope for a quick recovery! j_g4ever - I think the quick snacks idea is the best for a hectic schedule. Maybe on the weekends when you have some time you can cut up veggies and put them in individual bags. OR portion out other low cal foods. 100 cal packs are good too. It will…

Thank you Mary!! You made me smile. I am planning a workout DVD tonight, maybe more snow shoveling too :)

I want to confess.... I lost control this morning for whatever reason. But I thought of you all and I am done. I'm not gonna say "Just start over tomorrow", I'm going to finish out the day better than I started it food wise. I write this to you all in hopes that it will help me be accountable for my actions. Not sure if…

I have a Camelbak water bottle. It is BPA Free as well. It snowed nearly 9.5 inches in England!! We built a huge snowman and have been hanging out outside. If we are off work tomorrow as well (and I think we will be), the plan is to build an igloo. This much snow in england is similar to this much snow in maybe South…

I would also like to thank you all for the support and motivation. I wouldn't of stuck with MFP this long without you all! And I wouldn't bounce back after mistakes without your support. So thank you blues. You are the key to my success! debnu1 - Congrats for being strong and finding ways to exercise. Great job losing…

GO Blue!!!

Glad to see everyone back and some new faces!! tttthumper - time to pick yourself up and move on. I had 2 weeks of horrible eating - your not alone. The important point is that we are back here now and we will keep on moving forward toward our goals. Glad to have you back! chrissyh - I have been leaving my weight the same…

Great idea!! If there is a will, there is a way!! Sometimes we have to get a little creative to fit in a workout.

Hello everyone! Thank you Emily for putting this friendly challenge together. Looking forward to the motivation! My name is Tara, at 130.0 lbs and 5'1". I am from the Washington DC area, but currently live in England for work. My favorite foods have some sort of chocolate on them and I will be staying away from them during…

My start weight is 130.

Can I join? Today's weight 130.0

I just got a Polar F6 for Christmas and I love it. Seeing the cals burned motivates me. I seem to work out harder knowing my heart rate is at a healthy pace - I tell myself to pick it up - stop being a baby!! haha. Also, it gives me confidence of knowing exactly how many cals I burned and I know my logs are accurate.

msh0530 - Congrats on all the weight you have lost over the past year. What a huge accomplishment!! It's wonderful that you have inspired others to become healthier. Keep up the good work! I'm excited to see where this journey takes me as well. I'm just gonna keep on truckin'. No weight loss this week, but that's ok. I'm…

good luck to all tomorrow morning. I hope the scale is nice to us all. j_g4ever - don't beat yourself up to much. What is done is done, now you can continue on down the healthier path. We all make mistakes. So what if the scale is not showing what you want tomorrow... you have next week. almomay - high five for the flowing…

Hello Blues! Sounds like we are really starting the new year off right. I was in the gym on New Years Day and today. Feels great! Not to mention I feel super cute in the gym with my new workout outfits I got for Christmas :bigsmile: j_g4ever - my eating on NYE wasn't so great either. But I worked my tail off in the gym on…

Welcome Back! I am with you. I fell off the bandwagon for 2 weeks. Yuck!! I feel so much better that I am in control now. Food will NO LONGER control ME!! My body is much happier with my healthier food choices and exercise. Glad you have you back! Have a happy (cal crunching) new year!

I know what ya mean. Back when I got into running, I had to do some research. I found the Enell sports bra's. They are expensive but they have worked the best out of all the bra's I've tried. I heard about them on Oprah - advertised for larger breasted women.

Hey there ... I'm a bit late but I wanted to join. My wedding anniversary is on Valentines day and that is definitely a goal date for me. We have a cruise scheduled...So I need the motivation... bikini season came early! I am hoping to lose 6 pounds by Valentine's Day.

Thanks for the inspiration!! Your right... you can always catch yourself and keep going.

do you have any nutrition information on these?

Happy New Year to everyone! Let's make it a great new year. I hope all are feeling better. My stomach bug is getting better... I went to work today. I may head to the gym later on as well. Congrats to both almomay and smadag1 for losing weight this week. That is fantastic!!! Way to bring in the new year!

Good. Rest yourself! Feel better.
