I started as 18, now a 14, and beginning my 6 month quest to size 8/10 tomorrow with a healthy day of eating, and a plan for Thanksgiving. Good luck! Friend me if you want. Long journeys seem quicker with friends!

Welcome back! I have to restart it seems every few weeks. It is not hard to lose weight, it is hard to change habits and lifestyle. Just keep moving forward, and when you fall, which you might, just pick yourself up and keep going as soon as possible. Forgive yourself, and go forward, do not let days and then weeks slip…

So sorry to hear. Use that anxiety and turn it to energy, you will be better off emotionally and physically. Hang in there!

Hi all All extra pledged miles/jumps/crunches completed. Under calories and waters today. Sorry No challenges completed today (gym was closed due to loss of power thanks to Irene) - I did do some exercises at home, but not the challenges.

Hi, is there a link to windshield wipers?

Finished the pledged crunches. Sunday waters in and under calorie goal. Weigh in - 178.2 so 2.8 loss this week. Where can I find week 4 challenges? I need a good September challenge group....any recommendations?

Thank you!!

Did you have fun? A lot of losing and maintaining is learning to have fun, but to try to stay in healthy habits. However, if you go a bit overboard (and we all do sometimes!), forgive yourself and move on. Most important thing is that you hop right back into good habits. I hope you enjoyed the beach!

Satruday challenges completed including water and under calories. 300 crunch pledge finsihed this morning! Family party today, but my sister is also a MFP member, so I know there will be healthy choices for me!

Wow, I have been at home on vacation and can't believe how difficult it has been to just check in and log! Also almost daily challengd with bad food choices and excuses not to go to gym. Something to be said about keeping a routine. I have com;pleted all challenges, water, and under calories for (have to use my memory…

I'll pitch in 300 extra crunches.

181 so no loss. But if my body is following it's typical pattern, any loss from this week will show in about 3 more days, making next week a larger loss than normal, so I am not changing my goal just yet...

10 miles met for challenge under calories waters in didn't exercise outside the miles :-( Hitting the gym tomorrow for another killer workout to start my week right. I am finally feeling myself again.

Saturday, all goals met except calories. 2 more miles logged. I lost count! I thinkI am at 8, I'll get my last 2 in today! Got on scale, a little depressing, but should only be temporary. Still, seeing the number go up is always depressing no matter what the reason! Official weigh in tomorrow,

Sorry team, there is no way I can get exercise in today. I was loving life roaming around George's Island and Lovell's Island (boston harbor islands) with my two girls today....walked for 4 hours...and still sore from yesterday, so I am canning the gym and switching my rest day from sunday to today. I'll do today's…

and under calories (forgot to put that in!)

Reporting for Thursday - 21s and Jacks were completed, water goal met, 1.5 extra miles logged for 4/10 completed so far. Walking around Harbor Islands all day today, but my legs are so sore from my killer workout yesterday. Hopefully the walking will stretch them out a bit.

Having a major appliance break is always a bummer! But getting a new shiny one makes up for it! Enjoy your new oven! -Andrea

I belong to my local YMCA and love it. It was recently updated so facilities are nice. What I like the most about it, however, is that the range of size, shape, and age of all who are there. Yes, there are a few super athletes there, but for the most part, there is a sense that we are all there to get in shape or stay in…

waters in crunches and climbers done mile done - 4.5 fishined out of 10. Under calories (so far, but plan to keep it that way!)

Glad you are feeling better, enjoy those walks!

Is under calorie goal mean under original calorie goal, or under the amount of calories allowed for the day? I am under the 1200, but earned over 500 exercise calories and really would like a glass of wine tonight (or 2? I'm on vacation!) I have 8 waters in, working on #9 (I didn't even count the huge water bottle I sucked…
