Hey Joy! Nice to meet you :) I have to agree w/ you on duty station moves.....we were on leave for almost a month and my family was spoiling us with our favorite foods...I definitely gained 5 lbs. on that long stay home. LOL. Nice to see another mil spouse on here!

Wow I completely forgot to weigh in!!!! I am so bad at that lately, even though I have been doing pretty good diet/exercise wise. If I don't update tomorrow I will monday!

Sounds like you and I have similar goals. Kudos for having a great significant other that supports you :) my hubby is getting better at supporting my goals instead of telling me "you look great just eat the cake!" because even though I know he thinks I look great, eating that "cake" is only setting me further from the…

Thank you so much sorry I am just seeing this!

Wow Mimi I love it!! You put a lot into getting this started and I am excited to see it take off. My name is Wimberley :o) I am 23 (will be 24 Feb.20!) and currently live in Hawaii (island of Oahu) due to the fact that my husband is a US Marine! We met in 2007 right after I had completed my first year of college, dated…

Question: Does anyone really know the actual calories burned during walking, jogging, or elliptical vs. what MFP calculates them to being? I was just wondering if I am really burning what I think I am lol.

I used to have a HRM need to find it or buy a new one they are great for calorie counting.

Great to know because I do a lot of walking/jogging lol! Thanks :)

I lost a bit more! 123.5 is what I am sticking to. The scale went as low as 123.0 but I would rather over estimate than under. Today I am baking sugar cookies with the hubs and watching A Christmas Story later this evening and popping a pizza in the oven. I am exercising as normal, but laxing on the food just today and…

I am so sorry hun :*( you do not deserve to be sad like that. You're such a positive person and so friendly! I hope you have as good a Christmas as you can. I will be thinking about you!

Thanks for the update Mandy! I hope you feel better :( I am weighing in tomorrow. I completely forgot to do it today. I think it's easier for me to go on Saturdays anyway. I have been doing great all week and as I say that I eat a fresh baked peanut butter cookie my neighbor made. She had her son pass them out to everyone…

Aww yay thanks!

That's what I have been doing I go use the scale at the gym every week to weigh in before ive eaten or anything and try to wear light clothing. sometimes if its empty in the locker room ill take off my pants to get a more accurate weight lol

Does anyone have any good dessert recipes that are low-cal? I am making my husband and I a mini Christmas dinner since it is just us and want something diet-friendly for me and I will make his normal lol. Thanks for any and all ideas!!

Hey I think a new baby being born is an A-ok write-off for the couple pounds :) congrats Dave!

Thanks Mimi! I see your updates and you are burning calories like it's cool!! Proud of you!

Wooohoo 123.8! I lost the .6 I gained plus another .2! Small steps but I am okay with that. It is harder to get rid of weight the smaller I get I am assuming my body is trying to hold onto the fat it has left but I have a couple pounds to spare! I am only 5 ft 2 lol

I more than understand!!! For some reason every holiday season I get this urge to bake everything! So since I baked a cake the other day, I had some last night after eating 8 wings and some garlic fries, lol. See what I am saying?? It's hard girl but you cant ignore a craving or it will turn into a binge. Try to supplement…

So with seeing a slight gain on the scale I have been motivated ever since....I know it's only been a few days but each day that I eat within my calorie budget, exercise, and drink a lot of water I feel even better than the day before! I hope I can keep going. I am so close to where I want to be.

0.6 gain. Not terrible, but definitely a gain and that isn't good. I would love to chalk it up to bloating or something. I know this past week I got in my workouts but kind of slacked in the eating healthy department. With the holidays around I feel like my enemy foods are surrounding me! I will be kicking it into gear…

Thanks yall!

Nice job Mandy on the push-ups! You reminded me to do some!

Tell me this isn't motivated...ran/walked 6 miles (including a STEEP incline mile up a big hill and I am not exaggerating, LOL) and carried a watermelon (lady I babysit for gave me one so I swung by her house on my walk to pick it up lol) for the last mile....then I cleaned and rearranged furniture. I think that's…

I got the Strawberry shortcake flavored gum yesterday and I love it!!!!

Late on weighing in since I was late on starting this, sorry Mandy! I am at 124! That was before going to Buffalo Wild Wings last night, LOL.

I'm down for a push up challenge!! I need the motivation!

Well I am SLIGHTLY late for this. My current weigh in is 124.4....That's what I ended last week with. My name is Wimberley, I am from Texas (go Cowboys and Texas Longhorns!!), however I currently reside in Hawaii at Marine Corps Base Hawaii Kaneohe Bay! My husband is a Marine. We are both 23 and have been married a year…

I can't find that thread for the life of me, can you post a link here so I can find it and book mark it?? :D

Mandy when are you starting the new years challenge you want to do? I already said I am in and I am definitely looking forward to it!

God I forgot to post..this weekend was CRAZY i worked fri-sun and babysat on the side friday night and saturday night. craziness! I stayed the same weight wise this last week. So I went from 128 to 124.4! Yay!!!!!!!
