Hi! I just added you! Looking forward to some friendly competition and motivation! :smile:

I'm trying to lose 20-25. I'm 58 days in and 10 pounds down. Feeling a little frustrated that it's going so slow - although my doctor says this is "healthy, steady progress."

Today was strength training and I did 30 minutes of circuit training. I forgot to eat before I left for the gym and thought I was going to pass out after my workout. Lesson learned, I will take time to eat breakfast. Thankfully, I was with a friend who could drive me home.

Sounds great! I'm up for anything, I just need to stay motivated.

I am trying to eat as clean as possible and limit processed foods. There are lots of great recipes you can find through Pinterest. I loaded the fridge with fruits and vegetables and have started flash freezing fruits that are in season. I made http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/asparagus-and-ham-casserole for dinner... it was…

Am I too late to start? I have the 30DS but I never made it to the second session. I made it 7 days but then got busy. I walked two miles in 30 minutes yesterday, so I'm up for the challenge, and I would love the support and will support you as well!! A little bit about me later. Thanks! Jandie

I am 45. I lost 33 pounds (see picture) a year and a half ago and then got lazy or busy or just quit trying and gained 23 back. Ugh! I am so mad at myself! I didn't want to be back here. BUT I will not stop trying. So here I go again. I will support you. And ask for support in return. I started Jillian Michaels 30 day…

Hi Breezy! Welcome back! I'm getting back into the routine too. I hope all is well. I can't believe how fast the summer went. My kid start school in a week and a half. How is your daughter?

Wow! It sounds delicious. I've never heard of it, but if you can figure out the recipe, please share! J.

Hello Ladies! Choco and jzbaby - I didn't realize my upper body strength until I went to bootcamp with a friend. She has great definition - her arms are cut! We were doing some work with hand weights, I had 3 lbs. I looked over and she was struggling with 1 lb-ers! I thought - what the heck!? So I guess now we're even. I'm…

Good Evening Girls! I got out and enjoyed the Kansas sunshine today! It's been amazing to see how my overall mood has improved in the last week with increased sunshine... and walking a mile after dinner every night helps too! Last night the kids rode their bikes while I walked the dog behind... at one point my 12 yo son…

:smile: Hi ladies! It's wonderful to see everyone (new and old) sticking with it - kicking butt and taking names! :drinker: choco - YOU are such an inspiration! I envy your drive and dedication. Thank you! :flowerforyou: jzbaby - I recently had a similar experience with my feet. I was giddy! And decided I needed some new…

Barbie, I'll keep you and your DH in my prayers! ((HUGS!)) Jandie

I love bread! I thought I'd miss it but I have found several that I CAN NOT live without! First - Earthgrain Thin Buns. I was a bit unsure when I first saw them, but even my kids prefer them now! Also, I start every day with a piece of toast using Healthy Choice Hearty 7 Grain bread or Sara Lee 45 calories - Delightful…

Welcome back! I hope you are enjoying married life!

:smile: Good Morning Fit & Fun Girls! Today the workout will have to wait until the deep house cleaning is done. I think I scrub a little harding knowing that my chores are burning calories too! I have my menu planned and the kids are looking forward to homemade - hot out of the oven - banana bread when they get home. I…

Choco - I'm glad to see you realize your routine is a bit crazy. :wink: It's good to hear you're going to check with your doctor! I hope you get it figured out and have a good nights rest in the near future!!! Hi JAM! I was thinking of you today, wondering if you've been skiing or ice skating lately? I still haven't made…

Yeah! New thread and new friends! Welcome! Thank you, jzbaby for starting it. You continue to kick butt and take names, great job! Chocolickyss, you work so hard and keep active! From what I read on the last thread you might need to catch up on sleep! I don't think I could stay up all night talking to a friend - hang up…

I'm treating myself to pretzel crisps and humus and maybe a banana w/ Nutella! Yum! :smile:

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I haven't posted for a while, but check in frequently. No, I'm not stalking, I just don't have much to report. I've lost a couple pounds, been watching my intake and feeling pretty well. And I changed my goal - since I'm half way there! :drinker: My husband and I flipped a coin to see who has to go…

I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease (hyperthyroidism) about 15 years ago. After my son was born I had iodine therapy, which killed my thyroid. I have struggled with my weight pretty much every since. Since starting MFP I have had my T levels checked every six weeks and my Dr. has been lowering my Synthroid dosage - every…

YUM! I'll be putting this on my grocery list for next week! Could you by any chance share the recipe for egg rolls, too? Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Have your thyroid and vitamin D blood levels checked! I was feeling similar recently and my vitamin D levels are low. I've been taking a high level dose of vitamin D -50,000 units once a week. And I feel so much better! Personally, I wouldn't recommend tanning beds. Good luck! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie…

Happy Thursday! My Dad is home and feeling pretty good. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it. I have been staying within calories but just haven't had the energy to exercise. I'm so tired! I did step on the scale this morning and was happy to see no change... however I was hoping to see a lower number…

I've had a busy 2 days... my Dad was taken to the hospital yesterday morning by ambulance. At the time he thought it was a heart attack, but that was ruled out. He was admitted for observation and released this morning around 10... no diagnosis. Started feeling poorly again this afternoon and admitted. Lots of stress for…

Breezy - good to have you back! I was starting to worry about you. It's great to hear your DH is getting involved! For me personally that made a HUGE difference! :love: I love hearing that he's taking your lead! Great job!!! I don't know how many of you work out using the Wii Fit Plus, but I found an interesting thread…

You must be a super multi-tasker! Great idea! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
