I think it's definitely possible while watching your food too. I have lost 61 pounds in the last 6 months and the ONLY exercising I do is walking (while pushing a stroller) and playing basic Wii games (like tennis & Just Dance 2). As long as you are aware of the food going in at the same time, it can definitely be done.

Right now it is Disney World for my kids (since they are 7 and almost 2), since we've never been as a family. Just to see the excitement on their faces would be enough for me :) If it were just DH and I, which won't happen until they are older/grown, it would be a beachy area like Hawaii or something. I'm not real…

Congrats! It's very exciting, isn't it? Since starting my weight loss in September, I have lost my 23 month old son (twice!) plus 4 lbs. Everytime I pick him up and carry him around, I am in shock that I had 2 of him added to my weight! Best of luck for continued success! :)

Well, I HATE shopping for clothes to start with so it's never a big motivator for me. I finally bought a new pair of jeans on Saturday night only because my others kept falling down (I went from a size 24W to a 16). Anyways, when I go shopping to try on clothes it always discourages me because I still can't find stuff that…

I haven't gotten rid of anything because I'm still wearing it! As soon as I am able to get some t-shirts (which I'm having a hard time finding!) and at least one pair of jeans, then I will be getting rid of everything. I've gone from a size 24/26 to a 16 so far and my jeans are barely hanging on. LOL

I use the database too, since I don't have a HRM or anything else to tell me my calories burned. I figure it's better than nothing and I don't eat back my exercise calories most of the time (since I don't get a lot of them anyways).

This sounds really good! I may try this in the morning. Thanks :)

I'm an extreme couponer (but not to the extreme they showed on TV), but I go during the day while most people are at work. And, if I see someone in line behind me, I always tell them they can go ahead of me and show them my stack of coupons. I'm not like the guy above, though, that scans one at a time. I try to make it as…

I'm not sure about whether you should/shouldn't, but I personally eat baked potatoes. I just make sure that I don't load it with stuff (I just put a small amount of butter on mine). I figure that it's at least something good for me compared to other junk I used to eat.

I eat a lot of packaged items as well, and one thing that has helped me is I log my food for the day the night before or in the morning. This way I can see if I'm going to be going over in my sodium and then change up whatever I need to. If you want to friend me, you can check out my diary and see what I've been doing.…

Today's weight is 167. I lost a total of 8 lbs. this challenge....not reaching the goal, but still extremely pleased :)

I'm hoping for 10 lbs.... SW: 167

I'd love to know too! As of right now I just log it under dancing, general, for the number of minutes I do it. But I'd love to have it more accurate if possible.

I'm 4'11" and started with 100 lbs. to lose. So far I have lost 55 lbs. (most before I joined MFP). Feel free to add me :)

Last night was baked chicken breasts, green beans, and rice. Tonight is my homemade baked pasta, corn, and applesauce (Pasta is not low-cal, but it's tasty and I eat a small portion)

Here is my info: SW 175 Week 1 173...2 pound loss Week 2 172...1 pound loss Week 3 170...2 pound loss Week 4 168...2 pound loss 7 pound loss so far this challenge :) My goals for the week are: 1. Drink AT LEAST 8 cups of a water a day. I was doing really good but have been slacking lately. 2. Do some walking EVERYDAY. I…

I am tracking: Calories Carbs (I really like bread, pasta, potato, etc. so this helps me keep it in check) Fat Sugar Sodium (I eat a lot of canned/boxed items and lunch meat, so this helps me keep it in check) Chol (My husband has high cholesterol so I track mine so I can see if our dinners are high in cholesterol....but…

Great job! I am aiming to lose 100 pounds too. You look wonderful :)

I do the Wii Sports (that came with the Wii) and do tenis and boxing. We also just got Just Dance 2 and Just Dance Kids and those are good workouts, even for people like me that cannot dance AT ALL. I just got EA Sports Active 2 since it's on sale at Toys R Us for $19.99, but haven't done it yet. So far of everything I've…

WTG! You look amazing (before and after), but I'm sure you feel much better now.

I'm proud of myself that even though I was super tired (my 21 month old has decided that 5:45 is a good time to wake up, instead of 7), I put in the Biggest Loser Workout DVD and did both the Low-Intenity Cardio & High-Intensity Cardio workouts (45 minutes), which I've never done before. Another victory for me was…

If it makes you feel less embarassed, mine does all the time (whether I'm doing jumping jacks or not!) LOL Congrats, though!

TUESDAY: I affectionately call this H20 Tuesdays!! 12 Cups Water!--I had only 10 cups of water 45 Minutes activity--- I only had 40 minutes Under Calories! ---Yes, I was under calories Bonus: Why did you choose to join this challenge? I chose this challenge as an incentive to continue my weightloss journey. I still have 47…

Silly question, but I don't have a dutch oven. Can I just use a regular pot or would the cooking be different?

I'd love if you could post the recipe please!

I completely understand your frustration! I've lost a total of 53 lbs. and NO ONE was saying anything to me except my husband (but I tell him daily about what I eat, etc.). Then on Sunday, 3 of my neighbors all commented (separate occasions) that I look like I'd lost weight...all I was thinking was "It took you this long…

SW 175 Week 1 173...2 pound loss Week 2 172...1 pound loss Week 3 170...2 pound loss Total loss so far during the challenge, 5 pounds :)

Hoping to lose my next dozen by Easter! Starting weight is 172.

I find it very hard to eat 1200 calories a day now. I started this process being 100 lbs. overweight and I most definitely consumed WAY more than 1200 calories a day then, but it was because I was snacking, not doing anything, and eating junk. Since I've started this journey, I am trying to watch my calories but also eat…

I'd love to join. I'm in! :)
