Do you still have space left for this challenge? Thanks!

Netflix on my Kindle. I tried reading and it didn't work for me. But I found if I find a series on Netflix to watch, I can sometimes watch two 45 minute episodes before I realize how long I have been on there. I watched the entire 6 seasons of Lost this way..lol

1. Combine in a resalable container: 1/2 cup old fashioned oats, 2 Tbl chia seeds, 1 cup almond milk, 6 oz. plain nonfat greek yogurt, 2-3 packets sweetener. Put in the fridge overnight. Add 2-3 strawberries before eating. 2. Steel cut oatmeal, 1/4 of a banana, walnuts 3. Scrambled eggs, 1/4 of an avocado, cherry tomatoes…

Would love to do this month's challenge again.

I agree with the person that said not to rely on water flavorings (i.e, crystal light). I unfortunately did that and I am finding it very hard to wean myself off of it. I have a hard time drinking plain water now. But a couple things that has helped me is for one get a water bottle with a straw - it makes it so much faster…

1200 seems to be the standard that MFP sets. This is a good post explaining TDEE : http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/975025-in-place-of-a-road-map-short-n-sweet?hl=short+sweet+<span class= Good luck!! :)

I eat low carb...my typical snacks consist of: Cheese sticks Cheese Almonds - cocoa roasted, vanilla roasted, cinnamon roasted Sunflower seeds Cucumber slics Sweet mini peppers Pepperoni slices Strawberries Raspberries Blackberries Pickles Low sodium deli meats wrapped around cheese Hard boiled eggs Carrots Celery with…

I would love to join. Thank you!

If you are just looking for a doctor for regular check ups, etc. I would highly suggest finding a Nurse Practitioner (NP). I recently had to find a new doctor to treat my thyroid when my endocrinologist moved out of state. In looking for a doctor I found that there were no other endocrinologists in our city and also a huge…

Monday challenge complete :) Thank you Donna! These mini challenges are great motivators!!

Thank you! At the beginning of this journey I never thought I would ever be an inspiration to someone. Just believe in yourself and don't beat yourself up if you make mistakes along the way.

Thank you! I was not aware of that. I resized all the pics and made the pixels smaller and they are still cutting off. Thanks again!

lol ya i think so...im trying to figure that out right now

Now why are some of the pics cut off..lol.

Ok just need to figure out how to get pics to show up...grrr...I thought I knew how..lol

I am very happy I found this group. I have been involved with different challenges before and it kept me on track. I was so glad to find this one for June! I have been on this journey since around February 4 and I am sure like many of you it is not my first time, BUT this is the first time I have been so successful. MFP…

SWEAT is fat crying!

Here it is! http://www.walmart.com/ip/19596876?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227000000000&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=&wl3=21486607510&wl4=&wl5=pla&veh=sem It is a great DVD.. I love it!

I do have a problem getting the calories in daily. It is not for lack of trying. I eat when I am hungry. Because of my work schedule I take my breakfast and lunch to work along with snacks. I usually do not end up eating the snacks. I try to eat a lot of vegetables. I could be wrong, but I was under the impression women…

5/6= 3 mile walk plus ab session Goal: 60 miles Total miles: 3 Remaining: 57 miles

Hi all! Just found the group today. I bought my first Walk Away the Pounds DVD this weekend and am so excited to try it out tonight! May Goal: 60 miles Good luck everyone!

New to the group! Hi! I'm Jessica from Oregon and I am 38 years old. I am a mom and wife with a full time job. I have struggled with my weight since my first pregnancy almost 21 years ago. I have tried every crazy diet out there, but this is the first time I have made the commitment to change my lifestyle. I have been on…

The weight loss number itself does not bother me. The fact that I have not gone done any clothes sizes and i see others who have lost 20lbs and gone down 2 dress sizes. Soo frustrating at times! But I have been working through that insecurity, just tough at times.

1. Watch the condiments- salad dressings (ask for light versions or stick to vinegar based), sour cream, cheese, sauces, syrup, mayo. 2. Choose grilled chicken over fried. If it is a grilled chicken sandwich, ask for no bun or just discard it. 3. Salads- if they are larger salads ask for a to go box with your meal and put…

Thank you both for your help! It is amazing the things I have learned since starting this healthy lifestyle. And honestly makes me sad to think about the way I used to live!

I count mine as circuit training. I put it in for 30 minutes..I do extra abs and cardio to fill in the time to make it 30 minutes (not counting cool down).

I would take your rest day and just eat a healthy dinner and not worry about going over your calories. As long as you don't over do it the rest of today with dinner and any snacks you will be fine. One day will not throw you totally off track as long as you do not see it as a free for all day or week as I used to do..lol.

bump for later :)
