I'm 34, from Vancouver, BC and have regained a lot of the weight that I took off. I'm looking for active friends here that will post, comment and be part of the community with me. I'm looking to be more accountable and get healthy again!

I got married in an 8 in October, then the honeymoon and holidays happened! Back to a snug 10. Trying to get back into an 8, hopefully a 6! Add me if you want!!

Be careful with this if you're watching the calories. When you add the lemonade, it's automatically at least 100 calories, as it's a lemonade concentrate from a carton. I've worked there, and even if no other syrup is added, the lemonade is already fully sweetened. If you're looking at the iced teas with low/no calories,…

Thanks you two! This summer is going to be rough for me, so I'm happy to have some help. I'm hoping to get remotivated to hit the gym, go hiking, and eat better.

The other day at work, there was cake and pie. I had two pieces of each, then went out to dinner, had a burger, fries and a McFlurry. Ugh, I felt horrible, but oh so good. I feel like I'm addicted to sugar again, and need to take control to try and cut back...

I did stage 1 workout A last night, but I'm off to the gym for a yoga class, so I'll post later :D

Hello everyone! I'm just starting Stage 1, and am excited to see some changes in myself. I'm 31, and wanting to get fit. I've lost 50lbs with MFP, have taken up running, and now am getting into lifting to help the running, and get stronger in my life. This week I have done stage 1 w1A and w1B. I found Workout A was less…

Just saw a whole new set of congrats! Thank you again everyone! Tis the season to say no thank you to barrels of cookies and jugs of rum! We'll make it through it :) I'm at about 43lbs lost now, so yay!

Thanks everyone :) I really appreciate the kind words and motivation they bring me.

^^ This, exactly. I like to see the fluxes and that way I know if I should try to squeeze in one more walk :)

I did week 3, day 2 today. I'm training to run a 10K with my sister in law on Nov 2. I hope I can do it! Feel free to add me if you need/want some support and motivation!

Wii Fit Plus is the same basic game as the original Wii Fit. It just has some tweaks and added exercises. It'll work with your balance board and everything. I like to use it for the strength exercises like squats, lunges, jack knifes, etc since it counts and lets me know if I'm doing them right (well, as much as it can for…

Now *I* feel like the odd one out! I don't tend to sweat at all... I never have, even in the summer, in direct sun, in the 30°C weather... Now that I've been working out, I get a little tacky on my back and boobs, but that's about it! Makes summer almost impossible, since I'm really prone to overheating and getting…

This literally made me LOL. I plan on eating my weight in marshmallows, so there goes the healthy eating part of it. Which is why I want some other healthy additions. :D

We will be driving up, and hiking for leisure. So, we'll be able to pack more in the car. I never thought of protein bars or tuna packs! Awesome idea!

Right now I'm getting ads for The Colour Me Rad run, and People's Jewelery. I guess they know I want to get engaged, and want to do the run. I think that some of the ads come up from what was viewed previously, like mine are right now, but there have been some for the postal service and diet pills. Bleh!

I got up to week 6, then got sick with a killer cough, which killed my running. Yesterday I restarted D1W1 again, and will be redoing the entire routine. If you want to add me we can do this together, and motivate! Good luck!

I'm thinking about doing the one in Vancouver in August. I just need to get back into running, and maybe convince a friend or two to come along for the ride! All the info you'd need on the run is here: http://www.colormerad.com/

I have had issues falling asleep, and I had a tea that was made specifically for that purpose.. and, well, one of the main ingredients was catnip! While my kitty wanted to try some, I wanted to sleep! Of course I didn't let him, but it really did work! I used Nighty Night by Traditional Medicinals Canada Ingredients were:…

I'm 5'4, currently 176lbs, looking to get to about 130ish. I'm in Vancouver :)

Since I've been lacking some motivation lately, I think this is exactly what I need. Count me in!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I've been pretty down about it the last few weeks, so it's nice to get some support :)

@kmchambers64 That's very true! I've always been overweight. I'm actually smaller now than I was at my highschool grad (tried on my old grad dress and nearly cried!) If this journey was easy, we'd all be healthy and fit in no time, but it's not, and each good decision pulls us further away from how we used to be. ' For my…

I'm 5'4, and weighed in at 182 this morning. I wear between a 14-16 depending on brands. I've found that plus sized stores generally fit bigger than "normal" stores. I even worked at a plus sized shop for 2 years, and know this really is true. My plus sized brands are all a 14, and just bought a new pair of 32s (which seem…

Doesn't it feel great?! I went back home for the first time since Christmas, and my nephew, who just turned 8 told me I look so "Tall"! I'm only 5'4, so tall is a wonderful word to be called! These kids really know how to make yah feel loved! :) Keep up the great work!

I'm, on W6D1. I ran one equal to the time on the 1st, but didn't have my ipod on me, so it didn't count it, so I'll do it again soon. Possibly tomorrow afternoon. I'd love to run a 5K with my sister in law. Never really had anything too in common with her, but went running with her on the 1st, and it was great fun! I want…

I lose weight in my face first, but I know how annoying it can be not to lose it where you'd like to see it gone from! Here is mine. Biggest I was was in 2011, at a family vacation in Disneyland. Down 40 lbs from then, 15 since starting MFP. [img]http://shweet_heart.tripod.com/chins.jpg[/img]

@ mikey1976 I grew up in Vernon. I really miss the Okanagan!

Vancouver, BC. Lots of people from England, it seems!

I"m really into Queen at the moment. Always loved em, and seem to take my running further!
