I had a great conversation with a few of my co-workers (fellow MFP'ers) today about how we've lost our MFP / weight loss mojo. We all looked to each other for support & motivation. As one of us began to decline it was like a tumblling house of cards. We will be starting over again...finding the daily commitment to exercise…

Hey Leslie....I hear ya', girl!!! I"m struggling with keeping MFP as a priority which is critical to my journey. I look back to my first 6 months on MFP and my activity level....I NEED to get that back. You CAN do this!!! I CAN do this!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!...:flowerforyou: ..:heart: ..:heart: ..:flowerforyou:

We're lucky to have great weather in the mid-west this weekend. Looking forward to a walk along Lake Michigan later this morning. Hoping everyone has a Beautiful Sunday!..:flowerforyou:

Helen - YOU ROCK!!!! with the spreadsheet! Thanks for taking charge on it! Welcome to the latest newbies!!! Water & Exercise are going great. Although it's only Day 4 - it's amazing how quickly I've been able to get back into drinking so much water. Today's "Y" workout included 5 minutes of running at a slow speed. Just…

Good Morning, All!! On schedule with water & exercise. I'll be walking tonight after work....but before the Packer/Saints game. GO PACKERS!!!!!

FINALLY....I made it to the "Y" during my lunch hour. I haven't done that for at least 4 weeks and IT FELT AWESOME!!!! Fingers crossed that the hip doesn't hurt tonight. My new motto needs to be: One day at a time....One meal at a time....One workout at a time...I will succeed at becoming healthier!

It's great to see the big response to this challenge! Thanks to the challenge 'regulars' for throwing out additional tips and how our challenges flow...I appreciate you filling in the blanks that I missed! :flowerforyou: Helen - THANK YOU for taking on the spreadsheet! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!! My NSV - a duplicate from the last…

To all the familiar faces - thanks for joining the H4H Challenge; it's great to see you here!!..:heart: To all the new faces - WELCOME!!! This challenge includes a great core group of individuals who are AWESOME in providing motivation, support and a cyber-shoulder to lean on. I hope that you'll find it just as…

SW: 198 GW: 185 Not as aggressive of a weight loss as I normally target but I'm still dealing with the hip bursitis and will then need to get back to my level of exercising before I can realistically think about a big weight loss.

9/01: 198 9/08: ? 9/15: ?? 9/22: ??? 9/30: ???? Wishing everyone a successful September!!!!

8/01: 198 8/08: 198 8/15: 198 8/22: 198 8/29: 198 8/31: 198 August was so difficult for me. My injury had me scrambling just to maintain my weight. How frustrating. I hope I can get past the hip bursitis and get back on track.

Still working thru the hip bursitis. Bump for (hopefully) later in September when I can start moving my *kitten* again!!!

Still having hip bursitis issues but hoping sometime in September I'll be able to rejoin the group. Everyone is dong an amazing job...keep up the great efforts!!!!!

8/01: 198 8/08: 198 8/15: 198 8/22: 198 8/29: ? 8/31: ?? WK 3: No Change This has been a very challenging month. :sad: Not being able to exercise because of the hip bursitis is difficult to accept.

Dropping in to share that I've developed hip bursitis over the last 3-4 weeks; no cardio until the issue goes away. :( Keep up the great efforts, everyone! I'll be back once this problem is resolved.

Biked 10 miles yesterday. Ticker updated I have hip bursitis so my running & biking will have to be dramatically reduced if not put on the back burner for awhile. I'm totally bummed and am hoping this goes away quickly. I won't be around much until it's resolved. Good luck to everyone!!...:flowerforyou:

My first posting for August - Grrr - I've allowed myself to lose focus this month. Ran 3.3miles / 35 minutes TM

8/01: 198 8/08: 198 8/15: ? 8/22: ?? 8/29: ??? 8/31: ???? WK 1: No Change The past 2 weeks have been challenging for me...I've allowed other things to become more important than my weight loss. I need to regroup & reprioritize.

I'm back for more! July wasn't as successful but that will change in August!! Thanks Bluiz for starting the August thread & Dinos for tracking everyone's progress!!! You both are awesome! I was experiencing some hip pain with my running so August will be all about biking! August goal = 225 miles!

July wasn't a successful month for me; here's hoping to August being a better month! Thanks, Terri, for starting the August thread! 8/01: 198 8/08: ? 8/15: ?? 8/22: ??? 8/29: ???? 8/31: ????? Good luck, everyone!

I'm disappointed my July wasn't a success but I'm going to brush it off & refocus for August. Congrats to everyone for sticking with the…

Quick check in to say "Happy Monday" to all!! I had a really busy weekend with most meals being eaten out. I was nervous with this morning's weigh in and was happy to see no change. Exercising and a ton of being out in the warm weather (a.k.a sweating my butt off) helped. I'm travelling this week for work; hopefully the…

Forgot to post yesterday.... Ran 6.06 miles / 60 minutes I was visiting a friend so the route was brand new to me; which really helped make the run go by so fast!
