Can't believe today is Dec. 1!!! Only ONE month till New Years day/the end of our challenge!! Sadly, I will not be reaching my goal I had put, because it's not healthy to lose that much in one month. But, I'm ok with that. I've hit a LOT of bumps in this challenge, but I'm committed to my weight loss, and I'm trying to…

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend!! I feel like I've gained a million pounds! My stomach has been going crazy and I have no idea why, so I won't be weighing in till tomorrow or wednesday until whatever in me settles down! I can't believe we're almost done with this challenge!

That's still a great loss!!!

I've had such a hard week, so I haven't even thought about working out and what not. But today I'm ready to get back on track. My bf finally found a job after about 3 months of not having one, so i'm feeling a lot of relief. I'm also finally getting rid of this bad cold i've had. My grandpa still isn't doing well....but…

I'm in Tampa! Go Bulls!!!

Hope everyone had a good week 9!! Can't believe tomorrow starts week 10!! So crazy!!! My week was so up and down....one day i seriously just wanted to give up on this. I'm hoping this week will be a lot better! I just needed to give myself a reality check! (and it hit when my shorts were pretty tight yesterday...and they…

Don't weigh yourself everyday! It will drive you crazy!! You should be hitting your net calories especially since you're only given 1200/day. If you burn anything from working out, eat those back! I know you say you're desperate, but you need to fuel your body, ESPECIALLY if you're working out! MFP already gives you a…

Look at your net calories if you're working out. If you're given 1200 calories/day, and then you workout and burn 300, your net will be 900 because net is what you've eaten-what you burn (1200-300=900). When you eat back those 300 calories, your net will be brought up to 1200...which is what mfp calculated for you based on…

That was a great post! You aren't alone!! I've been dealing with something similar to that.... when I got into the 190s-180s I started to snack more than I used to.... I was sooo good losing the first 30 lbs, but once I reached that, I started eating so bad. I've been stuck around the same weight for what seems like…

You look great! Definitely can tell a difference!!

Went to the gym tonight!! Felt SOOOOO amazing!!!! On a side note, I cannot believe tomorrow is Nov. 1st!!!! Where is this year going?!

Hate when that happens!! I'm starting fresh this week too! We can do it!

I started 30 day shred, because I think one of the problems was I was getting too used to doing the elliptical... and the shred works out like my whole body while elliptical was just my legs...so hopefully that'll change some things. Like the reason why I gained is because I've been going over by a lot. Went out of town…

Alright, so I didn;t eat SUPER bad, but it could of been better! I'm seriously never going out of town again until I lose more weight! However, I am up a couple lbs....I'm not sure how accurate it is, so I'll check again tomorrow. Anyways, I'm thinking about upping my calories just by 100 or 150 because I feel like that…

So honestly.... the past 2 days I haven't eaten very well! :grumble: I'm so upset! I keep trying to eat better, and I do for a few days, then I find myself in a situation where I'm not eating healthy! I forgot how easy it is to get back to old eating habits, and how hard it is to break it! I'm trying SO freaking hard! This…

Woo hoo!! That's awesome!!! And yes, just one step at a time...once you get used to 3 days, then start adding a day!

You can do it!! I've been in your same situation many times since being on here! I also plan my days ahead and they look great, but they often wouldn't last like that. So I just stopped doing it for a couple days, then slowly started getting back on track...just taking it one meal at a time. And now, it's been pretty easy…

Hey Maureen!! Glad you had a great week! It sounds like tons of fun!!! Thanks for asking your daughter!! I've been taking some vitamins, and it seems to be helping, so we'll just see what happens!! Honestly, I've been eating pretty bad the past 2 days, TOM is here and for some reason this time, I am so hungry!!! I usually…

I definitely think switching it up is a good idea! Maybe, like you said doing heavy weights, or start doing other positions? Also on the elliptical, maybe start switching up the intensity/incline for different amounts of time... that way your body doesn't get used to it. And the sodium part is doing really good so far! TOM…

That is awesome!! Congrats!!! Great NSV!!

Yeah, like I seriously thought I'd be bald by now! And I've always had really really thick hair, so when this started happening I was like what the?! I never really let my hair air dry because it's just like wavy, so it never really looks good unless something is done with it lol. Have fun at boot camp!! Sounds hard…

The past 3 days have been really good for me. I basically restarted, and I'm so glad I did. I still get on the scale every morning hoping, but nothing has happened so far....I really need to stop doing that haha. It will come! Today we went out to breakfast, but I made some really good choices, and I can still eat enough…

I totally see you on this!! My goal for the end of this month is 179...just so I can get out of the 80s! I'm at 182 right now and I feel like I've been here for an eternity! My ultimate goal is 155..... How tall are you?

My mom told me (she said a trainer at the ymca told her this), that the best cardio machines to lose belly fat are the ones standing up, like elliptical and treadmill. Which I guess makes sense, because being on the bikes we have at my gym, takes a while to burn any significant amount of calories, because I'm really just…

Wow, you look amazing! Congrats on the awesome work!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great week 2! If you haven't done so, please post or send me your weigh-in! Hope everyone has a great 3rd week! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvpMEWASkFwadGVOdkg2ZGx2QUNtWlJ4a25DYzFiWVE&hl=en_US#gid=0
