Never done one of these group challenges before but It's worth a shot. Add me please!

No, you do not get fiber from juicing. Juicing takes the juice from the fruit or vegetable and cuts out the bulk. The bulk, like the skin, is what contains all the fiber.

This motivated me today. I really don't feel like going for a walk because today I'm kind-of sore. But you're so right, that's why I should be walking, because I'm out of shape and want to get to the point where being active is fun and not excruciating! The playlist idea is a great one too - I've slowly been building one…

This is great advice and a great article. It might take a little longer to use wholesome ingredients from a supermarket to make dinner, but it costs less and is way better for you. Like she said, you can't put a price on your or your family's health!

I think anlu37 had some really great advise. Don't blame yourself, I'm sure you didn't do anything. And while he is figuring things out on his "break", definitely make him aware of your expectations if you do accept him back into your life and your baby's life. It's not healthy for the baby either for her father to keep…

I hear ya! I didn't want to weigh in this morning because of the holiday festivities. I think I'll wait until tomorrow morning. Maybe that'll balance things out a bit more? haha. I think it's okay to let loose every once in a while as long as you get back on track right away. If I didn't let myself eat some ice cream or…

Yeah those donuts are dangerous! I too find it hard to get motivated. I've decied that my motivation is my new baby. He's 2 months old now, so he's not running around yet, but when he does I want to be able to chase him and play with him without getting tired. I think setting small goals is the way to go. I think creating…

Congrats on all of your accomplished goals! This is really great adivce. I feel like people set too big of goals and get disappointed in the end. Creating little goals helps keep me motivated for sure!

You can add me. I'm 25, 5'8" and 230 lbs. Just had a baby and want to lose the baby weight + more. Could use some support too :)

Loving all these suggestions! Same situation here! I have a 2 month old baby and am trying to figure out a new routine. I feel guilty going to the gym after work like I used to. I've been eating my lunch while I work at my desk and then spending my 30 minute lunch walking. I think I really need to start getting up really…

I know how hard it can be to get motivated again after going through medical issues. I'm starting all over again too and have an arthritis-like condition. But WE CAN DO IT!!!! :smile:

Great advice! It's definitely all about the choices your make daily.

My boyfriend and I have just started to get into canoeing and kayaking. He has a canoe and just bought a kayak recently. We love to bike and hike. We both have dogs - he has a yellow lab and I have a boston terrier. We also just had a baby 2 months ago and he already loves to be outside. We really are trying to use the…

Hi, I'm Krissy from Wisconsin. I've used myfittnesspal on and off for a while now. Currently I'm not trying to lose weight. I'm pregnant and just need a way to track what I'm eating so I can keep my weight stable. After the baby comes I will be back in weight loss mode again and I can't wait!

Wow awesome job girl! You look great! Keep it up!

Weight shouldn't be the only thing you base your successfulness on. Your weight fluctuates all day long depending on what you eat and drink and how active you are. Also, muscle weighs more than fat so weight shouldn't be the only thing looked at. You need to do measurements and track your measurements and weight over the…

You go girl!!! :smile:

How right you are!!!!

From a medical standpoint, when these things start interfering with your life it's time to seek medical help. It's not healthy to strive for perfection so much that your well-being is put on hold. Everything should be in moderation. You should allow yourself a girls night out and eat a healthy option. You can always ask…

Packer fan here!! Can't wait for the game tonight!!!! Go pack go!

I think it's great ya'll are working together on this! I know how hard it can be to have others in the house rustling in the fridge or pantry when you're trying so hard not to eat. Awesome job guys!

Hey! I'm a 24 y/o nurse from Wisconsin. Welcome!!
