Thanks for the welcome-backs! :smile: I have to say, the lack of judgement on having been gone so long is part of why I love this group! :happy: By the way, I forgot to mention that it's also great to see more new people! :happy: 6-22-2011 fitness goals 1. 8 cups of water 2. Under on calories, carbs & fats 3. Do SOME kind…

Ok..... I know I've disappeared for like a month, but I'm gonna really try to start coming back. I feel like I've gotten my portion control under control pretty well. I mean, even without logging/counting my calories, I'm pretty sure I've lost weight over this last month! Of course, as I've not been counting calories I'm…

Hey everyone! I really hope you're all doing very well these days. I'm sorry I've been MIA so much recently.... I've been having a lot of financial trouble, which is causing me to rely on charity (which at this point is mostly coming in the form of dinners with my boyfriend's family) A LOT. That basically means that to log…

I hope all the American Mom's had a wonderful Mother's Day! :happy: Nam - Hope you tackled those jobs around the house today! Jessie - Good attitude!

Kim - Enjoy that week off! Are you going on holiday, or just taking time off? Katrob - I'm so glad to see that this challenge is helping you stay focused so much! Kathy - To me, it sounds like your job is a pretty good workout all on its own! Frankly, I'm rather impressed that you even go to the trouble of working out…

Well, welcome to all our new comers! It's wonderful to see you all joining us. I can't wait to start getting to know each of you. :happy: Leela - As you've seen, I know all about the not logging goals thing.... Hence my last goal each day recently! lol Kim - Glad to hear that you're not going to let yourself stress about…

I can really relate to this part.... I want to have friends I can really get to know and give specific feedback, which honestly might sometimes include some constructive criticism. The problem is, I see SO LITTLE of that on here, to me or anyone else, that at times I don't feel comfortable leaving what I'd like too and…

I'd love to catch up and meet all the new people, but since it's so late tonight I'm going to have to stick with just posting goals for tomorrow: 5-4-2011 fitness goals 1. Water, at least 6 cups 2. Under on calories, carbs and fats 3. Take vitamins 4. Week 1, Day 2 of Sit-Up challenge 5. Bed by 10, sleep by 10:30 5-4-2011…

Thanks for once again starting the new topic, Jess! :happy: My name is Shannon, and recently I've really been struggling with things, including even making goals, let alone sticking too them! I'm hoping to break out of that ASAP, because I know the main person this is hurting is me, and I deserve better! It's time for me…

Kathy - Hope your weather improves! It's finally getting warmer here. :smile: 4-30-2011 goals 1. Water, at least 6 cups 2.

Get to the gym, going to The Melting Pot for dinner, and I'd like to counteract some of that. 3. Walmart run 4. Bed before midnight

4-28-2011 goals 1. Water, at least 6 cups 2. Under on calories and fats.... Working x2, so I'm not sure about being able to stay under on carbs because that means packing twice, probably two sandwiches for the sake of time, though I might go with a salad for lunch. 3. Bed either by 10:30 or within 45 minutes of getting…

Get to the gym! Going out to a hibachi place for dinner with the boyfriend's family to celebrate his birthday and would like to get some…

Easter Sunday (4-24-2011) fitness goals 1. DRINK WATER!!! 2. Take vitamins 3. Limit portion sizes. However, I'm not even going to…

Chrissy - Nice to see you back! Birthdays always do throw us off a bit, don't they? :laugh: Leela - Lucky you having a workout buddy! I wish I did.... Come the fall, though, I'm hoping to start working out with my sister. She's already going to grad school where I'll be starting, and we've talked about having study/workout…

Well, had a built in workout today! One period of hall duty, lol. I'm figuring I walked at a rate of AT LEAST 2.5 mph for half an hour, so added 1.25 miles to my ticker.

1.25 (MY miles) + 32.8 (Previous TEAM THREE miles) = 34.05 (New TEAM THREE miles) Love having a period of hall duty! lol Get to have a little workout built into the day. :smile:

Nam - Best of luck with your marathon goal! I'm SURE you'll be able to do it. :smile: Kim - I'm sure you'll be fine! Nicole - Glad to hear your foot is feeling better. I hope the blood drive goes well for you, and you stick with your goal to study early! 4-18-2011 fitness goals 1. Up water intake to at least 6 cups 2.…

Nicole - Good for you! It's never easy to stay home and work when you know so many others aren't. I really respect your self-control! :smile: Kim - Great attitude! I've seen this said so many times on here, but I really believe it's true: Anything in moderation! (And I believe that "moderation" can include one day of major…

Ok, I have no idea what's up with me recently..... I've been feeling really blah, and completely unmotivated in just about every single facet of my life for some reason! :embarassed: I really need to snap out of this, though, and today is as good a day as any! Steph - Happy belated birthday! Stephanie - Glad to see you…

I woke up this morning feeling REALLY crumby, so I'm gonna take it easy today.... Right now, my biggest goal is to NOT have to ask if I can leave early and only sub a half day. :frown: 1. At least 6 cups of water 2. Under on calories, carbs and fats 3. Bed by 10, sleep by 10:30 4. Make it through the day without having to…

0.8 (MY miles) + 9.0 (Previous TEAM THREE miles) = 9.8 (New TEAM THREE miles) Yeah, we're not doing so great..... :ohwell: Hopefully this week I'll be able to be more help! Of course, I'm not quite sure what happened to the rest of my team on this anyway! :laugh:

Went for a nice neighborhood walk. 0.8 miles of pretty hilly walking.

Sorry I've been MIA recently. It's been a weird couple of days..... Logging has gone by the wayside due to 1) not having a whole lot of time to be on MFP 2) eating a bunch of stuff for which I didn't have a clue of brands/nutritional info. That said, I think it's seriously time to get back on the wagon here! (When I…

I'm a bit short on time this morning, so I'm just going to say that I didn't have a very good day yesterday, and my goals for today are the same as they were before..... :embarassed: Hope you all had a better day than I did, and have a terrific one today! :smile:

Carl - Welcome! I have to say, it is could be potentially interesting to have a man joining our little group. :laugh: Hannah - Sorry to hear that your foot is still bothering you. It sounds like it's improving a little, though, hope that's true! Lee - Forgot to look for a pic at my mom's guess maybe I can't join you all in…

MONDAY: 0.5 (MY miles) + 4 (Previous TEAM THREE miles) = 4.5 (New TEAM THREE miles) Like I said, still just getting started doing cardio other than on the stationary bike, so fellow Team 3 members, I really hope I don't pull everyone down!
