Great to hear! This is a good site and a good forum for keeping that motivation going. I tend to have the same issue that you stated, high motivation for a while and then notthin. I'm actually just getting back into it after a month or so of not doing anything, i.e. calorie counting or exercising. However, thanks to the…

My week wasn't as good on the scale as some of yours. My journey started last Aug/Sep and dropped 15-20 lbs real fast but it's been a hard struggle since Jan, when I had to work off the 5 I gained over the holidays. I started @ 254 (not on MFP) and now I'm at 231. I'm slowly bringing it down but almost always see a rise…

I really should stop reading these posts at work. I almost fell out of my chair I was laughing so much!

I got in 260 minutes of exercise for last week! However, I only made the water goal on 2 days I think.

I hear ya! I usually do my routines during the week, but when the weekend comes I tend to slack off too much. I'm thinking of adding a short run each day, but again, weekends are so nice to just relax...

My routine is almost exactly what you did. The difference in mine are that I just run for 20 minutes with no specific C25K setup. I also do my running before the 30 Day Shred. I tried reversing that and doing the running after, but my muscles were just too tired to do anything effectively. I've only just been doing this…

My hardest days for tracking are Sat/Sun. I just never seem to want to do anything since I'm off work and I, too, like to relax and spend it with my wife. The last few weekends I've been yo-yoing my weight loss between 235 and 239. It seems that by the end of the week I'm down to 235, but on Monday I'm back up to 239. This…

I know this isn't much but last Sunday I went to my sister's for dinner with the family. I haven't seen her much because she works so much and she said that it looks like I've lost a lot of weight. That just made my weekend. Having someone outside those that see you every day say they can tell a big difference REALLY feels…

Look up "30 Day Shred Level 1" by Jillian Michaels on YouTube. This is an intense workout with several strength training exercises mixed in with Cardio and Abs. Examples: Push-ups, forward lunge/bicep-curl combo, squat-press, and a few others I do this routine every other day right now, working up to every day, because if…

I'm aiming for the Enthusiast this week. I've already logged 58 minutes from Monday. I haven't been able to keep to the 8 glasses a day, usually around 6, but will try to up it this week.

How's everone doin? Not much to report here. I thought I was doing well, got down to 235.4 yesterday morning. I took yesterday to rest from exercising and this morning the scale showed 238. I didn't think I ate over my limit but since I didn't track yesterday I don't know for sure. I really hate yo-yo-ing like this. Ah,…

Accepted and started!:happy:

I survived but did fall off the wagon. I didn't exercise regurlarly for 2 to 3 weeks. I had one or two sessions in that time but mostly just stayed at home with the family. I ended up gaining 5 or 6 lbs that I'm trying to work off again. I've got 4 of them gone since last Wednesda (yay!) but it's difficult getting back…

Nice to meet you too WhiteCloud! I hop you're feeling better today and having a nicer day than I am. It's been raining since last night here, and I am not jogging in the rain so that curtails most of my exercise for the day. I plan on doing my indoor stuff after work. I hope y'all are having better weather than I am! ~James

Hi, this is my first time posting on this group's weekly chat so my name is James. I know what you both mean about your body de-conditioning. I was 235 before my Christmas vacation but didn't really exercise the whole two weeks. I gained 5lbs and I'm back to working it off now...again. I usually run 5 to 6 days a week, jus…

Hi, Driab! Great job doing the C25k! I toyed with doing that myself but I decided to just start jogging on my own instead and it's worked. My routine isn't strictly strength training, but maybe it'll help. I'm 33 and 237lbs now, but used to be 260 at the beginning of 2012, so I know where you are coming from. In August I…

Mansfield checking in!

I struggled with this also, just recently. I'm the father of two kids and love being with my family. I used to work 7-4 and was able to do my home exercise in the evening and still have a couple hours or more before the kids have to go to bed. However, my hours changed recently to 8-5 causing all sorts of chaos in our…

I've only been on MFP for a few months, but I've lost close to 25 lbs since Dec 2011 (265lbs and now 239lbs). I still have 39 to go and could use a kick every now and then as well. I can give as good as I get so if anyone needs a good kick every now and then, just friend me.

I'm still in this, too! I did some damage over Christmas, gained 5 lbs and up a half size in pants, that I need to fix. My lazy time is over and I'm back in this game!

I'm in for this on Saturday! I'm used to jogging 2 miles so 3.1 shouldn't be too bad.

Mine was seeing the big 300 on the scale a few months after I got married. I knew I was big in my wedding photos but that really hit home. I started pseudo-WW soon after, just using the points but no support, and dropped 30lbs in a year. I've kept it off but it's taken almost 7 years to get down to 237, where I am now,…

THIS IS AWESOME! I read it at work and almost cracked up and bust out laughing in my office. That would have been so bad. As it is I had to cover some noises with coughs and I had tears I was trying to laugh so much!

1) I bought new pants about a month ago because I had lost a size, from 40 to 38. Then, those being the only ones that fit right, I went to buy some more about 2 weeks ago. I decided to try on some 36's, same brand/style of pants, AND THEY FIT!!!! Now I've gotten rid of all my 40" pants and have 2 pair of 38", which I use…

Hello all! Just found this group and realized, "holy cow! I'm considered middle-aged now!!!!!!". Of course, I don't feel that way and still think of myself as 25. I'm 33 and 237lbs now. I started my most recent weight loss quest @ 255 (MFP about 241), on Sep 7. My goal is the 200lb range. I, too, wish to shrink my boobs…

Hi all. I'm a 33 year old gamer...yes I've been gaming since the original NES and Atari :tongue: I started losing weight on a different site in August starting at 255 and jumped to MFP this week because it has a lot more active posters. I'm down to 239 now from 242 earlier this week so I think MFP is helping. My tastes in…

Hi, I'm new to FP and relatively new to running. I've been running a mile + at least 5 times a week since August to help me lose my weight. Feel free to add me. I could always use the accountability also.
