Somewhere I got off track of taking care of myself in every arena. Looking for to have some company on the fitness-weight loss side. CW: 145 Jan 31st GW: 141 GW: 132 Feel free to add me as a pal, I need some more active buddies.
-
Looking to get more pals that like running and cross training. Been a runner for 20 years, not a newb. Just want more banter and motivation overall on my feed.

I like XHIT channel and BeFit for variety. Also I have the PumpUp app on my phone that builds a workout for me based on the time I have and what are my goals. There's sets and a timer you watch, it demonstrates each exercise too. I don't pay for the voice coaching as I just watch the news in the AM or listen to some music…

I go to befit it xhit channels on you tube. Great free workouts from famous trainers. Xhit has the Victoria secret workout series too

I was thinking about this earlier this week when on my 'day 1' I went for a very fast and flat 5miler. I had a PMS carb binge fest 36 hours or so beforehand so I told myself, period or not, 'you's got the fuel'. My times were actually great, negative splits, right mix of carbs and coffee that day I guess. In the past I do…

Weigh in Wednesday yesterday SW: 145 CW: 143 Down 2lbs. GW: 140

I do 'weigh in Wednesdays' so I'm not checking in dehydrated or on salt overload. Both can happen over the weekends. CW 143.5 GW 140

I'm looking forward to the check in and finding some more MFP to add to my accountability buddies. Friend me if you are looking for the same. I'm signed up for a 40-day running streak which means running at least a mile a day till July 4th. To my goal is to complete that and alternate between arms, legs and abs strength…
-
Morning all, I was browsing groups trying to find a new active group and find a few accountability buddies too. Lot of people on here have my stats. 5.5 and in the 140-150 range. I'm currently at 143 and my GW is 130, yes, I know that's not 20 but I REALLY need to lose body fat. Need a cheering squad and interaction. My…

Besides me and discobarbie, is anyone else around? So far the past 8 weeks my strides have been consistency logging my food, getting real workouts in a minimum of 3 days (been doing 4's more and more often), ran a race....ended up being 2 minute faster than my 'acceptable time. Basically being consistent. I haven't fallen…
-
Hi, new to the group and just another runner getting back into the serious game. Been a runner since I was 14, I'm 32 now. My next race is a toss up. Being in semi-rural PA the races that are within 30 minutes of my house are far and few. My goal is one race a month through August. Of course there's no websites so 3rd…
-
Awesome results discobarbie19. You've really hit the mark being part of this group. Can't wait to keep watching your progress. Mine has been behavior overhauls! Which I'm making great strides. Heard a great thing on the radio today about fitness and weight loss. Accountability is only part of the equation. Having a village…

My 6 week weigh in, remains the same (not sure, just finished that time of the month). I've been in the epic struggle to constantly remind myself to ditch the bad habits and press on to the goal. Been making strides that will add up on the scale and measurements in the end. Made through PMS without eating my way though or…
-
Welcome. And taking time to adopt healthy habits is always good. I find myself having to add more MFP friends as groups start off with lots of momentum then taper off like any fervor for a new fitness plan does. I got a new job back in May, same employer new position. Still struggling to strike a balance with stress, work,…
-
I just checked and the week 4 challenge, I didn't hop in on that discussion but I just checked 2008 calories burned last week. Funny how that worked out, even those days where all I could manage was a quick walk at lunch added up in the end :) Of course this week I have been sluggish due to that time of the month but been…
-
Wanted to share my mini victory, hopefully tomorrow's weigh in shows my fitting a workout in despite not having time. Thursday I didn't have time I thought to do a full workout. Missed my AM workout due to power outage and got stuck in traffic so I was home late from work. My husband wasn't ready to eat dinner when I came…
-
Down 2 lbs since the beginning. Of course, maybe I'm at where I started. 140lb :) But I kept track of my food all week and the weekends and sticking to some kind of workout. Even if it's a 30 min walk over lunch and an ab workout. :) Progress
-
I am SO there with you! I'm dedicated to keeping my food tracking besides working out. I have to be honest with myself, good or bad.
-
I'm there with Jodi and Sandralyna. I made modifications but not enough. This week my goal is to track everyday, good or bad, busy or not busy. So according to my scale I lost no inches and gained 2lbs. So my 'new' starting weight is 142 for week three. So glad to see more proof accountability of the group works than not.…
-
I'm promising myself a weigh in and measurement check tomorrow. Starting to wonder if my starting weight was off because I'm definitely watching my intake and working out more. But the scale went up? So frustrating. Maybe I was dehydrated on day one. ARG. Might just give myself a 'new' starting weight since it's been…
-
I did it last summer after a trip to the beach made me cringe at my pics. Lost 5lbs right in my middle and my thighs, right where I can never lose it. I got off track when I started a new job but it's time to get back on track. Started a group if you guys want to join for accountability buddies! Called JNL Fusion Start to…
-
I'll be reporting weight and measurements tomorrow, I was on my feet all day at work and running around like a mad woman. Think I'm dehydrated because I can't get enough water right now. Don't want to give a false number.. Not expecting a weight change because either my diet's a disaster and my exercise is spot on or my…

Our 2 fur kids know what the alarm clock sounds like. Even if it goes off for 4 seconds with the door shut. Then the chorus of in cannon meows start. So basically, I have no excuse to not get up because I'm not sleeping anyway, just being annoyed. And as for workouts, talk about pressure to maintain plank pose when they…
-
Woo hoo! Like that the jump rope suggestion was liked :). I like the burpee or jumping jack option, especially if I find out I can't get past a couple minutes of jumping rope. I know I can do burpees or jacks 'at a pace' but not giving up. Jumping rope you can only do so slowly before you're just stepping over a string.…

Checking back in...love reading all the feeds. I am supposed to start work at 730-745am, I got up at 5sm to workout in the summer because of the oppressive heat-humidity here in the northeast. Lost 5lbs easily because I was being more consistent. More so than wanting to workout in the evening and it was still 80F at 730 at…
-
It was just about finding the right intensity for me in the morning. Jillian's Body Revolution or some Denise Austin DVD's are about my AM speed. And if I do that and my day gets out of control, I got that 10-35 min in that day pre 600am. Even if it's just a 7 min ab DVD. I find harder workouts, i.e. T25, P90x and JNL…
-
Great idea. Adding virtual buddies so we're in each other's feed :smile:
-
Hi there, I'm all in...need accountability buddies. Do my DVD and stay on MFP daily. Daily logging worked before and I want to keep going. Got some big running goals speed and time wise, need Jillian's workouts to keep injuries away and a lose a few lbs to drop some time :)
