Yes..weighing is key. And when you do, weigh in grams..not cups. More accurate that way. You'll be surprised how much you were eating and you should weigh everything! Amazon is a good place to get one cheap. Good luck!

Hi!! Anyone can feel free to add me too!! I'm 5'2" at 139lbs...my goal is to be between 123-125..I felt great at the weight before...and I'm eating around 1600 cals and weight training and some cardio in there also...doing IIFYM so I'm hoping I don't have to be really calorie restricted to lose this weight...I'm not good…

I've had 5 check in with numbers but none of them actually joined the group....not sure how that's going to work.

Team 12!! Don't forget to join the group and get me your stats if you haven't yet :) http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/102292-4-weeks-team-challenge-1-17-2-13 @Beardimino‌ @gm150‌ @woofel‌ @lizasmit143‌ @hockey1373‌ @clacoste0102‌ @allanhd‌ Challenge starts 1/17/15.

Hey Charityn, just wanted to double check..I'm on Team 12 and wanted to know who the captain is? I PM'd who I thought was the captain but she says she is not. :)

I've tried to join...looks like I'm waiting to be accepted into the group :)

THANK YOU!!! I so appreciate you allowing the last few to join including me!! LOL...I'm truly excited and motivated to make a change!! Let's Go Team 12 :)

Is that as of your last post or can I not join? Sorry just want to make sure! :D If it's already full I understand....I wish everyone luck!! Sounds like a great challenge!!

Can I still join? Just saw this...sounds exciting!

Yes it does but I can't select it to add to my diary from my exercises.

thanks for the bookmarklet!!! Couldn't make my macros come out right and this is perfect! :happy:

Keep working ladies!! Not going to weight until October..but I'm working hard!! :)

I eat what I call a protein oatmeal a lot, which I love. I put in a scoop of oatmeal after it's cooked and I add 2 tbsp of evaporated milk and 1/4 cup pecans...my favorite sweetened with Splenda...comes in around 350 calories. Or I also eat grits and eggs A LOT!! That comes in around 400. Sometimes I do Special K cereal…

I decided that I'm such a slave to the scale..I need to step away for a bit and focus more on eating and exercising. So, come October 1st..I will be on it!! Great job ladies who have lost, if you haven't, no worries!! Keep going because it's a journey, not a race.. :tongue:

I'd love to join in too!! CW: 137.7 GW: 133 (by October 1st) I'm short and with not much to lose I lose slowly. So, if I can get 1lb a week that would be awesome!! We can do this ladies!!! :love:

Hi! I was actually looking to see if someone had started a September run challenge and stumbled on to this group. I was in the USMC for 10 years so did lots of running. Ruined my knees and once I got out I decided I was done with running. I decided to get back into it about a year ago because I remembered how easy it was…

I have Map my Walk but every time I try to sync it, it doesn't work so I gave up. Not on walking...just trying to sync it to MFP..hope you have better luck!

Absolutely!

Thanks!!

8 or 10-hour window is too big for me...that's a regular day for me really. When not doing IF I normally eat from 12-10 and I eat too much. So, I think a smaller window is probably best...my even an 18/6. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the info...I know what my deficit should be in order to lose..just need to be disciplined enough not to go over that. My brain knows it basically comes down to the numbers really. I'm also jumping back into my exercise routine. Again thanks for the advice..today's a new beginning :) Wish there was a…

Well, I new to Fast-5, late to this topic!! Just found out about it 2 weeks ago and I've GAINED 3lbs. I started right out with 19:5 because I'm fine with skipping breakfast. My window is 3-8..I have to wait longer to have my lunch. I'm trying to do it 7 days a weeks. I don't have a problem sticking to my window, but I have…

Hi!! I'm new to Fast5 and I'm hoping it works! Only been trying it for two weeks and I must say I stay in my window pretty well, that's not the problem. I've found that I overeat during my window...not everyday but I slip up. And found that I've gained 3lbs that I lost doing 5:2. I'm switching from 5:2 because it's very…

I'm here too!! I log everyday...just went on vacation for a week so started logging again yesterday...you can do this!!! WE ALL CAN!! One day, one meal, one step at a time. Anyone feel free to add me. :bigsmile:

Great info!! Following! I've been trying to follow 5:2 for about 2.5 months now and it's hard for me to stick to the 500 calories during the fasting day. Maybe if I shrink my window of eating (close the kitchen at 7p) I can make it! :smooched:

Count me in too!!! I need to be consistent...but going out of town to Vegas in 2 weeks! EEK! :ohwell: I'm going to try though..and today is going well :)

It's not obsession. It's lifestyle change..the key is for life. If not, you're going to end up right back where you started. Nothing worth having comes easy. It's going to take some effort. You don't have to obsess BUT you need to be aware. You can't do what you've done before or you will have the same results. So, it's…

Talk about hitting the nail on the head!!! Well said. I should know. I've done the juice fast, clean eating for 21 days, only raw foods..blah blah and of course they work...but at what cost. And the weight I lost came right back and then some extra too! So I made myself miserable for nothing. I finally told myself I'm DONE…

Ok...well, that makes sense....
