Hi! I just had a below the knee amputation on June 19th. I’m returning to work soon and trying to get focused back on my weight loss and fitness. SW. 216 CW. 180 GW. 145

I'm right there with you! I lost 85 pounds by exercising and tracking everything I ate with MFP. I have slowly put almost half of that back on. It's time for me to stop making excuses and get back to it. I do agree that it's easy to look at little gains with that idea of it's been worse. Boy how those little gains add up!!

I totally get what you're saying. I'm still shocked when I fit into certain things. Still have that "fat girl" mentality sometimes. You look fantastic! You should be very proud of yourself! :drinker:

Wow! You look awesome!

You look great! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome story! So glad you have been able to find happiness! Hope 2014 brings many wonderful things your way!

Jan 1 no tracker Jan 2 Tracker did not track! :( Jan 3 5, 291 (no school and I didn't get my tracker working until around 2:30 but I did do 30 minutes on the treadmill!) Hitting the gym in the morning then laundry! I WILL hit 10,000 tomorrow!:wink: plus lots of stairs!

Working on sending everyone a request! Just got my Flex up and running! www.fitbit.com/user/2B65LL

I just purchased the iPod Shuffle for my daughter for Christmas. It is purchased from a company called Audioflood on Amazon. The cost was $140 and included the waterproof ear buds as well. The ear buds have a short cord so that they do not get in your way when your swimming. She is a competitive swimmer and did not have…

I'm in! Waiting on my Fitbit and had already set this as a goal! Let's do this!

I am very impatiently awaiting the delivery of my Fitbit Flex today or later after the holiday. I already have a Polar HRM and plan to use that to enter cardio workouts and non-step activities. If I understand correctly, if I enter the start and stop times in MFP it will override what ever is tracked on my Fitbit. My Polar…

Like others have said...great job loosing 4 pounds over the holidays! I found that I HAD to build workouts into my weight loss, I was loosing 2-3.5 pounds per week at first but as my schedule got busy around the holidays and I wasn't running outside anymore my weight loss dropped to around .5-1 pound per week and then I…

Just ordered my Fitbit Flex! It should be here this week! will definitely add everyone! hoping this is the motivation I need to get back into the swing of things after the holidays! I will post my user ID as soon as I get it! Keep moving everyone!

Woohoo! Great job! I think I'm going to be about 10 pounds off HOWEVER, I am extremely proud of myself. I am currently wearing a size 8 ( I was a size 16/18 last May). Feeling great!

Great job!

Perfect challenge for me this week!

Yay! Missed the challenges. I always work to do them even if I forget to post it ????. This should be a good one.

Just got back from the dreaded 20 minute run! I did not make it but I'm still feeling proud! I did run a mile in 13 minutes before I allowed myself to stop. I have always been an anti-runner and never thought that I would ever refer to myself as a runner. I love this program and will keep pushing to run a little more each…

You both look great!!

170.6 today! .1 away from my half way!!

Awesome!!

Hhmmmm I will have to give this some thought. I usually look at costumes and quickly decide that I am way to big for any of them and instead create an excuse not to attend any parties. Maybe this year will be different ????

Way to go ClarkJ and Ttruhol. :drinker:

I'm out this week ladies????. I was running Sunday night and tripped on uneven sidewalk. Nothing major but I landed on my side and bruised a couple ribs. Still managing my regular workout schedule but not up to adding anything extra. Should be ready to go next week. Good luck this week!

Sounds good

Water and walking complete ????

Water: yep Walk: yep How do we log it on the spread sheet when it's our day off from walking?

That's how I felt until I changed how I ate. Now I eat balanced meals and stopped eating fast food and fried foods. Exercising also makes me feel better. Good luck!

I think I entered it right. Lol. Please let me know if I messed it up. Thanks for doing all this work to set things up so nicely. The accountability with reporting daily is awesome :drinker:

Lookin' good!!
