I would love to shoot for this goal! This aligns very closely to where I am hoping to be a year from now so it will be great to have other people working towards a similar goal.

I'm in!

I love the Carnation Breakfasts! I recently started using the Herbalife shakes too and from what I can find at first glance, I don't think that they have either of the sweeteners that you are avoiding. The trick is to find something that you enjoy so that you can stick to it. I love the variety that Herbalife offers. I…

I am currently 252 and my goal is 175. My daughter is 9 months old and we have just recently started supplementing while she is at daycare. We still nurse whenever we are together. I have my calorie goal set to 1500 and I eat back my exercise calories. My short term goal is to get to 225 by April. My lactation consultant…

I just had my daughter in April and we are exclusively breastfeeding. I pump while I am at work and nurse her whenever I am home. I am working out a minimum of 3 times a week and need to lose 5" off my waist by October. Just started back to logging today and hoping to find that sweet spot where I can lose without hurting…

I am breastfeeding my 2 month old. My short term goal is to lose 30 lbs by October. I just started logging back on MFP. Need to work to find that sweet spot where I can lose weight but not hurt my supply... still playing with it for now.

I am working on getting back on the Paleo bandwagon... easing back into it at this point.

Awesome!

3.5 mile run this morning. I also started following the Active.com Half Marathon Training plan this week. I am loving that it sends me harassing text messages on the days I am supposed to go run! Should help keep me accountable! Happy running everyone. :)

Been on a stay-cation this week. Been so busy I haven't been on MFP very much. Looks like I maintained for this week, which is okay for me. Today I braved the cold and took part in a 3.5 mile run. 42 out... brrr! At least it stopped raining before the run started! I am definitely in for the 12 miles this week. I don't…

Checking in, did much better on water, 8.5 so far and my bottle is full beside me, so I should hit 10 before I finally crash for the night. I didn't do any squats though. Today was a heck of a day... very busy work day! By time I finally escaped I didn't have an ounce of energy left! :( Tomorrow I WILL do my squats though!…

Got in a run on Sunday but I was so busy the rest of the day that I forgot to get on and log. 2 mile run and a .25 mile cooldown. Hoping to get another run in tonight after I get off work.

Didn't do a very good job logging this weekend! 75 squats on Saturday, no squats but a 2 mile run on Sunday. Okay on water, but not quite 10 either day I don't think. I will do better on water today since I am back to work. Always easier there since we have a water cooler!

That's odd... don't know why it double posted!

That is awesome! It is amazing how reliant everyone has become on elevators! Yay for you by breaking out of the norm!

Okay, so after I posted my failure for today and tried to lay down for bed... my conscience got the better of me... 50 squats done for today... better then saying I did nothing! Don't think I have another 50 in me for today... but now at least I did something!! LOL

Today was a horrible day all around... sigh. I forgot my water bottle at home, got stuck at work almost 2 hrs late so I missed the gym. Just finally getting home and I am getting ready to crash! Tomorrow is bound to be a better day though! I will try and do a few extra squats to make up for today's lack of ambition! I am…

Challenge Start Weight CSW: 201 Current Weight CW: 200.25 Challenge Goal Weight CGW: 180 If we move to a different thread I would name it something monthly, I know once you hit a certain number of posts it locks the thread. We might run into that problem if we try to make it to Christmas on one thread, but I think monthly…

Are we going to keep using this thread, or make a new one for week 2?

I would like to join this challenge. I am working to get my butt in gear for my PT test in November... so I need all the accountability I can get! SW: 217 CW: 201 GW: 180 by the end of the challenge Fitness goals: To build back up to 5 mile runs, to run at least 3 times a week, and to get my 1.5 mile run down to low 15's…

This challenge sounds perfect! I have my PT test coming up at the end of November. I have had a no running sort of summer for a number of reasons so it is definitely time to get my *kitten* in gear! I am going to set my goal a bit low and say 35, but mainly because I will only be counting my miles on the track. At this…

I'm in. This is a good one for me... I really need to get re-motivated on my pushups so I don't completely lose them before my next PT test!

Way to go! I am so glad there is not a convenient coffee shop on the way to base... it makes it so much easier to stay good! I think the people in the office are plotting against me though... my PT test is tomorrow and they brought in donuts AND a Dairy Queen Ice Cream cake! I just sat and watched them all eat it... it was…

I typically log religiously through out the week... and the take the weekends off. Not so much from the dieting as a whole, but from the meticulous logging. Still try to be good to a point, but don't feel bad about being a little "bad" either. I found that this helped me stay on track throughout the week. I also found that…

:laugh: That is too funny!!

Are you eating back all the extra exercise calories that you are burning now with all the walking? If not you might not be eating enough. Good luck!

Awesome!!
