Thanks for that!

Yesterday was the same, no real motivation nor am I trying very hard. What is wrong with me? KICK IT IN GEAR SARA. So my goals today are; 1) Drink at least 6 glasses of water 2) MAKE TIME TO EXERCISE!! I really need to do better at meals. Each meal is around 400-500 calories but I am so picky I'm still trying to work that…

Well, I logged everything but didn't drink all my water and did not work out. I WILL DO BETTER TODAY. The good thing is by taking it day by day I don't feel like I've failed too badly. The thing that really messed me up yesterday was the 20 oz bottle of pepsi ... sure was good at the time which is probably how I got this…

Glad to see something like this! I am curious to see if setting smaller goals will be what helps me stick to my exercise and food diary. My goals for today is to 1) drink 8 glasses of water; 2) LOG EVERYTHING; 3) work out at least 30 minutes; 4) do not let the kids stress me unless necessary :smile: So far I've done pretty…

A friend of mine was able to copy his

WOW! Would have never guessed it was THAT bad!

Thanks for that! I have started becoming more interested in it the more I see people posting about it. May have to give it a try for sure.

You look AMAZING! I totally want to try kettlebells :happy: I have to say though that cake in your before picture looks pretty awesome (wait, that's probably why I'm on MFP :laugh: ) Seriously though you should be proud

I also have 100+ to lose and would like to add you as a friend. I started on this site before Christmas of last year but never really kept up with it. I started "dieting" again and lost 5 pounds before getting serious again and then logging on here everyday. I have lost a total of 12 pounds now and lots of inches :happy:…

Hey! I have 100+ to lose and so far have been doing good. It seems to really be kicking in and I have been "good" for about 6 weeks now. I have dramatically increased my water intake (really don't like it) and if I am working out I try to drink 9-10 glasses a day. I have really been keeping an eye on my sodium intake which…

I noticed that for me I really needed to get at least 6 glasses of water in every day, more if I worked out. I also noticed a difference once I started keeping up with the sodium in my diet (added the column onto my food diary). For a while I would lost the same 3 pounds and gain it back, but with these changes I got past…

Welcome! You will find a lot of encouragement here. I have A LOT of weight to lose but am finally serious about it and have done good so far. Before joining I had already lost 5 pounds and since joining here I've lost 6. I've had to learn that the number isn't all I should go by so I've started measuring myself (good…

When I saw this post it was already after 5 pm. So I got started right away. I ran 1 mile on the treadmill without stopping, which I have never done before! Such an accomplishment :tongue: Then I did a 20 min workout with my turbo jam and 45 minutes later was taking my daughter to her ball game. At the game I walked around…

That's awesome! How great it was for you to point out that he really didn't screw up like he thought. Everyone needs to give in every now and then. Sounds like you're a wonderful support team for each other. Keep it up!

I'm in! I have snacked too much today but I really needed to see this post, this is what I need to get back on track. Have not had much water so I am going to get in as much as I can for the rest of the day and will let everyone know tomorrow how I did. Thanks to all the motivators :)

I agree. The garden salsa is the BEST!

Mother of 3 also (12, 4, 2) looking to lose A LOT of weight and would like all the encouragement I can get. Would love to add you as a friend and I can encourage you also. Good luck and congrats on the pants fitting :)

I would love to know some of your recipes. It sounds like a very easy breakfast or lunch idea.

I have had the same problem. I had gotten some advice to split my meals up more so now I have a morning and an afternoon snack, keep my regular meals around 400, and have been keeping an eye on my sodium intake. Seems to be working so far ... I'll have to wait until next week to weigh as this is my TOM but I'm hoping that…

I have noticed that I do a lot better as long as I am drinking my water. I was the person who never drank water, ever! Now I have seen all the good things it has done for my body and I do not miss at least 6 glasses a day, sometimes I have to flavor it. But even if I don't work out, I find that I make better food choices,…

Congratulations! I can't wait to get to that point.

Thanks everyone! I have a hard time with food because I am so picky. I hate vegetables! I just cannot eat them. I have added the sodium column and will keep an eye out for that and will try to adjust my meals. I was doing the P90 workout and have switched over to Turbo Jam. Borrowed a friends heart monitor this week so I…

I use mine all the time! Absolutely love it. I cook chicken, hot dogs, burgers, bacon, etc on it.

Naked, first thing in the morning

I see other people talking about the C25K. What is that exactly? and congratulations!

My husband and I are probably 100 pounds each overweight. We actually started with the P90 (not the P90x) first. It is a great program. It is tough the first week but once you get used to the moves, the more you do it the easier it gets. We started a month ago and he has lost 14 pounds, I have lost 7. Of course I have…

I am very picky too. I do not want to eat veggies, they are all gross to me:tongue: but I have found that I like the green zuccini. I will cut long pieces and then cut those in half, spray Pam in a pan and cook until they get a "fried" look on at least one side. I'll also add in some chopped onions.

If I don't eat breakfast I end up starving at lunch and overeating. My favorite things to eat are two nutrigrain wheat waffles with peanut butter and an apple OR a protein bar and a cup of yogurt. This keeps me full until lunch and even then I'm not starving. I personally tend to feel hungrier if I eat eggs in the morning,…

You look fantastic! Congratulations and good work. You are definitely an inspiration to all of us.
