190.6 lbs I'm just glad I didn't gain over thanksgiving and glad to be past that hurdle. I've updated my goals from 190lbs for Halloween and 180lbs for Xmas, to 185lbs for Halloween and 175lbs for Xmas :) Last week: 191.0 lbs SW (08/22/11) 207 lbs GW (10/31/11) 185 lbs GW (12/25/11) 175 lbs

I downloaded some podcasts and just listen to them on my ipod. They have some upbeat music and verbal cues as to when to run and walk. http://www.c25k.com/podcasts.htm

Yesterday was just the day after a really bad day for me, today I was 191.0, I think I'd like to use that number instead :) Last week: 192.0 lbs SW (08/22/11) 207 lbs GW (10/31/11) 190 lbs GW (12/25/11) 180 lbs

192.0 lbs on the dot... Nothing for me this week :( Next week is going to be huge! We're going home for thanksgiving, and will be making all the side dishes so I am in complete control, everything will be as low-cal as I can possibly make it :) Last week: 192.0 lbs SW (08/22/11) 207 lbs GW (10/31/11) 190 lbs GW (12/25/11)…

192.0 lbs! I am hoping to reach my goal of 190 by the end of next week, then aim for as close to 180 as I can get for Halloween!!! :bigsmile: I think I'm going to have to readjust my xmas goal, and I'm not upset about it haha! Last week: 194.8 lbs SW (08/22/11) 207 lbs GW (10/31/11) 190 lbs GW (12/25/11) 180 lbs

I love this whole description of running, that's exactly the feeling I've been longing for!

Bahahaha it's like a shake-weight for men :laugh:

194.8 lbs, 2 lbs? I'll take it :) Last week: 196.8 lbs SW (08/22/11) 207 lbs GW (10/31/11) 190 lbs GW (12/25/11) 180 lbs

ONEderland!!! 196.8 lbs!!! So excited, I was stuck at 200 for about a week and a half and finally started moving down yesterday :) Last week: 200 lbs SW (08/22/11) 207 lbs GW (10/31/11) 190 lbs GW (12/25/11) 180 lbs

I've fallen off the wagon many a time, and am finally feeling like I'm back on again and determined to succeed! I'd be more than happy to be a part of your journey, feel free to add me :) caitymay1

I notice that the number of calories that my elliptical says I've burned is still lower than the calories MFP says I burned doing the same amount of time. I just go by what the elliptical says, and it seems to be alright, although I'm sure a HRM would be far more accurate... I just figured it's close enough, and I'd rather…

I love it in stir fries (I just throw in whatever veggies I've got in the fridge, and it usually turns out pretty good haha) Or dip it in egg whites, then bread crumbs (or whatever) and bake for yummy zucchini sticks :happy:

Today's weight is..... 200 lbs (I was really reeeally hoping for 199 lbs this week haha). Great job everyone! :) Last week: 202 lbs SW (08/22/11) 207 lbs GW (10/31/11) 190 lbs GW (12/25/11) 180 lbs

Sounds amazing :) Thanks

*bump* Yummy... :)

Nothing for me this week :( Still 202, but that's okay, I'll still get there! Last week: 202 lbs SW (08/22/11) 207 lbs GW (10/31/11) 190 lbs GW (12/25/11) 180 lbs

UUghh today was awful... I was so tired and just not in the mood to work out. I couldn't wait for it to be over, but I got it done!

I love the bicycle crunches because they feel so good, and it means I'm almost finished :P I hate the push ups, although they're starting to get a little easier now.

I guess Fridays will be my weigh in day. Today's weight....... 202! I don't know how it happened, but it did :) SW (08/22/11) 207 lbs GW (10/31/11) 190 lbs GW (12/25/11) 180 lbs

I'll do it with ya :) I started last week, then slacked off for a few days, so I restarted as of today! It is one of the best workout dvds I've ever done. Today was the first day that I was able to do ALL of the more difficult exercises (following Natalie), it was super empowering and I felt so good afterward. So if you…

I would really love to join if it's not too late? I love love love halloween and have a costume I'd love to fit back into :) SW (08/22/11) 207 lbs GW (10/31/11) 190 lbs GW (12/25/11) 180 lbs

You're eating waaayy too much fatty food, learn to love the fruits and veggies! I NEVER used to be a veggie person, although I've always loved fruit, and finally just forced myself to eat a bell pepper, or some carrot sticks and celery, or broccoli and cauliflour when I've been hungry or just felt like snacking. Now my…

Oh my, this was not a good week... I had too many cheat days and not enough work out days... Need to get back in the game this week. Starting weight : 212 lbs April 11 Week 3 - Apr 17: 208 lbs (-4 lbs) Week 4 - Apr 24: 209 (+1 lb) Week 5 - May 1: Week 6 - May 8: Week 7 - May 15: Week 8 - May 22: Week 9 - May 29: Week 10 -…

I quit cold turkey in december, and it was TOUGH! I quit for my boyfriend, and his nagging was the only thing that kept me from going back haha. The good news: I can be around people that are smoking, and it doesn't throw me into a crazy nic-fit :) I too was super worried about gaining weight back while quitting, and it is…

I'm feeling really good this week, starting to get my eating back under control. Also got a new seat for my bike, so I will hopefully be getting out a lot this week (biking also seems to be the best way to tire the dog out too, so it looks like it should be a good week!) :D Starting weight : 212 lbs April 11 Week 3 - Apr…

The Jillian Michaels workouts are really good, and it's nice to be able to do at home. Or invest in a new or used bike, and get outside! :)

I'm jumping in a little late, but need something to keep me motivated. My name is Caity, I'm in my early 20s, and am really trying to lose weight and be HEALTHY. I joined MFP in January, and fell off the wagon twice - and am now just a few lbs less than my original MFP starting weight. I've joined a yoga studio with a two…
