10/3 - I walked 3 miles outside today. I plan to do a DVD tomorrow along with some outdoor stuff.

Hi everyone, I have been away from the Leslie Boards for a while, but now, with the weather changing, and the days getting shorter, the DVDs are perfect. I still plan to continue my outside walking as well, and my goal for the month is 50 miles.

and you look wonderful!!

Congratulations on your huge success, and thank you so much for the post. I really needed that today. I have lost 72 pounds total so far (part was lost before I found MFP), but I have found myself a little shaky in my resolve lately due to life stressors that inevitably show up. your post has helped me so much. I am taking…

Amazing! You have done great, and you look great!! Wow, I bet you feel great, too. Keep on keepin' on my friend!

You look wonderful. Not only have you lost weight, but years as well. Thanks so much for sharing and for the inspiration.

Wow! Congrats on a great job! You look fabulous!

You look great! Keep up the wonderful work!

thanks! I have never tried jerky, but I am going to get some on the weekend. My husband bought me a cooler, and I got some ice packs for my lunches. I am going to try all of these suggestions. I have been really stressed lately, and I think that has added fuel to my hunger fire. These ideas will surely help. Thanks so much!

Congratulations! You look wonderful. Great commitment.

completed day 6 this morning, and day 7 tonight. Glad it was stretching. Nice rest day. Felt good to stretch. Good night all.

I finished day 5 last night, one set of 12 using 5 pound weights. I definitely overdid it by starting with the 6.6, so I am glad I changed to 5 pounds. That ball crunch was killer for me. My exercise ball came with a manual pump which was ridiculous. I finally pumped mine up using the electric pump from our air mattresses.…

I finished day 4 yesterday using 6.6 pounds at the beginner option, but on the way home, I purchased some 5 pound weights. I think I overdid it with the 6.6. I did the H.A. using the rolling chair in my home office, because I did not have a ball at the time. I purchased one last night, though. Also, I am going to add some…

I also finished day 3 before I left for work. My body is saying "what the #%^*+? Are you doing to me?"

I finished day 2 at the beginner level. I used 6.6 pound weights (3 kg). Those leg lift are killer, so I modified them by bending my knees. Arms are still tingling from yesterday. Wonder what will be tingling tomorrow! (hahaha). The comments to the exercises said that your heart rate will probably go up after the lunges…

I did day one yesterday using resistance bands, and I started at the beginner level. Today my arms are tingling, not hurting, but definitely talking to me. I am going to take my measurements later today, and then again after day 30.

Hello everybody, my name is Sharon and I'm in. Will be starting today. Headed out to walk now, but will do day one when I finish my walk. This is my first weight lifting effort.

You are doing so great!!! The change so far is dramatic. congrats, and keep it up!

Wow! Wonderful job! Looking good!

Wow, so inspiring! You look great. Thank you for sharing.

congratulations, you look really great. I am sure that your view of yourself will catch up with the new you. give it some time. Great job

I would like to be in this challenge. I am 5'4" and weigh 267.2. I would like to lose 6 pounds this month (1.5 pounds a week). My loss has slowed and stalled in the past few weeks, so this challenge should be a motivating help to me. Thanks!

Hi all, Toward the end of the challenge I was inconsistent in posting, but nonetheless, here I am again. Challenge start weight: 280 Original goal: 250, revised goal 255 Challenge end weight: 267.2 I did not make my goal, which is a disappointment, but I did lose, and I made strides toward making these good eating and…

I missed my March goal, but I am in for 30 in April

Hi all, Just found this thread this morning. I turned 50 this year, and I would like to join in order to gain and share support and encouragement with women my age. About me: I am married, work full time, have a long commute (2 hours each way), thus far I have lost 60 pounds but gained 2 back recently for a total loss of…

Hi, I turned 50 this year, and working on losing another 100 pounds. I have lost 59 so far, 13 since joing mfp. I am finding that sometimes it is very hard to stay focused, but the tools here are so much help in that effort. Also, it has been hard to deal with stress without turning to food, but I am always working on…

You have done something Wonderful, and you look great! Congrats! Onward toward your goal!

Wow, you look so good and so happy. Thanks for the encouragement and tips. You are doing great!!
