SW 139 GW 125 LW 139 TW 138 Just started.

I tried shakeology when I did the 30-day fix. I found that if I mixed it with strawberries or added a little peanut butter it worked as a breakfast or snack and occasionally as dinner if it was late and I didn't feel like cooking. However it is expensive and just by ordering it you end up on autoship and when you try and…

Thanks for the welcome. Other than Monday things have been going well, altough I think I'm shorting my "green containers" i.e. vegetables. Need to get in more during the day so I'm adding baby carrots as snacks.

Glad I'm not the only annoyed by the containers. I've been weighing and measuring food for year and the containers just annoy the heck out of me.

Hi All! I officially started my 21 day fix yesterday, but it was such a bad day that I consider today to be my first day. Hope I can get some support.

Finally got a road ride in! Can't believe it took me this long, but I made good use of my off-Friday and weekend and got 2 rides in. Friday: 16 miles Sunday: 32 miles.

You folks are putting me to shame! I'm in southern CA and I'm riding indoors and people in much cooler climates are outdoors. Of course me biggest issue is lack of time and daylight. My goal for this month is 170 miles.

What a great thread and how wonderful that its not full of semi-pro hammer heads. I've been cycling for almost 10 years, but started slacking off a couple years ago and now only get on the bike once a month for my lady's ride. I've decided that 2015 is my year to get back into cycling shape. I need to lose around 13 lbs…

Back when I still had a uterus I found weight gains like your were common right before my period. Even today, I know that certain days (such as Monday) I will weight my heaviest. I would recommend you weight yourself multiple times during the week so you can see how your weight fluctuates. Also keep in mind that when you…

I love my Fitbit. I have a Fitbit One and can wear it almost anywhere, my favorite spot is clipped to the center of my bra (that way there is no bulge under the shirt). The drawback to the Fitbit as with most devices is that it doesn't track all activities with cycling being the most prominent. You can manually enter that…

Jules, there is a way to turn off the negetive calorie adjustment, but for I can not find it right now, which is discouraging because I remember seeing it yesterday. I believe it shows negative when MFP give you more calories for a workout than the fitbit does (at least that is how I understand it). Its to keep you from…

A small NSV for me was yesterday I went biking with a friend and actually enjoyed the pedaling. For the past 5 months when biking I enjoyed the company, but suffered through the pedaling, yesterday I actually enjoyed the pedaling and even felt the need for a small competition. Yeah!

Do you 11:59pm today (Monday) or Sunday? Thanks

To Karen, I'm 5"1" and understand the difficulities of being short and trying to eat within the proper calorie range. Its true that we women of small stature don't need as many calories, but its sure hard to make others understand that. Hopefully this challenge will help you with motivation and it looks like it will…

Zainab, As Clara said you need to relax! You also need to find an activity that works for you. Personally I do not want to go to the gym 4 times a week and work out - that's just not my thing. Fortunately we have a very nice trainer who comes to my work 3 times a week and does a boot camp class; she mixes it up and the…

I'm 5"1" and currently weigh 133lbs and my current goal is to get down to 124 and then maybe below 120. I'm over 50 so its a bit of a challenge to lose weight, but I'm feeling very motivated right now!

Hi All, My name is Letitia and I've been a member of MFP, since early in 2013, but have only been a sporadic user. I'm 52 and have gained about 15 lbs over the past 3 years or so and am finding it VERY difficult to take weight off. In the past Weight Watchers has worked for me, but with the points plus I found it too easy…

I'm a stress eater, so I can relate to gaining weight when stressed. At my job we have a software release once a year and in the 2 months up to the release I always gain weight and then spend the rest of the time losing that weight and swearing I won't gain the following year, but I always do. Its a vicious cycle. I also…

Hi! I just started tracking on MFP yesterday. I'm a lifetime WW member who is currently over my goal weight (and not in good standing). In the past I have had great sucess with WW, but discovered that with the change in plan, I could not get my weight down as low as I had originally. I told myself it was muscle, but I did…
