We interupt the previously scheduled programming for this breaking news: Still an hour left in my work day and I have exceeded my daily Fitbit goals!! I am psyched! We now return back to the regularly scheduled programming, AGAIN! :bigsmile:

I know that Tuesday is “goal” day, but I just have to say out loud (before the mood changes), I AM PUMPED!!! I am very antsy in my chair at work, I have gotten up and walked around the building several times already today where I have almost met my daily Fitbit goals and I’m still at work! I can’t wait to get home, put my…

Bump

Bump!!

Thanks to all of you for the kind thoughts on the loss of my friend. The funeral was yesterday and after having a few minutes to talk with her fiancé, I feel much better. Apparently, it was in January after the holidays that the dreaded question was asked of the Dr., “Can you guarantee that the chemo will work?” When she…

@hansea I have a GREAT Nutella brownie recipe! So simple and so yummy! You still have to display some self control though! :laugh: 1 cup of Nutella 1/2 cup of flour 1 egg Mix together until smooth and bake at 350F oven for 30 mins. I actually make them in a cupcake pan so it's easier to portion out into single servings.…

I have been very sad this week. :sad: My work BFF past on Tuesday. :cry: She has been battling cancer off and on for years, God rest her soul. :brokenheart: She was last at work just before Christmas. I went on vacation and became very busy with my Dad visiting from out of town for nearly a month and my son being home for…

Happy Tuesday everybody!!! @kah - sometimes our body just tells us it needs a break. It's good you listened to it and got some much needed rest. Good luck hiding from your scale! :wink: @hansea -I love the idea of taco Tuesdays! Maybe try ground turkey or even fish for your protein. Fish tacos are amazing! @Nettie - happy…

Kaye - I was SOO close! LOL I was thinking Darling Husband, etc.

Like so many others, I've been enjoying the Olympics. :drinker: I went to get my taxes done on Saturday and instead of waiting in the waiting area all day for my turn (no appt. just walk-in sign in sheet), my daughter and I went to a county park down the street. We walked the jogging/walking/biking trail. It was a little…

I'll be hard pressed to make my goal…

I actually wanted to comment on Rachel from the Biggest Loser the other night, but I guess I didn’t want to be the first one. Was I the only one that saw Jillian’s face when Rachel walked out on stage? I could see it all over her face when she turned to Bob and said, “Oh my God!” It didn’t seem like a “wow, she looks…

Kim, I agree with you, the second you give something up is the second that you're likely to not succeed! Bridge, the Nutella brownies are awesome!

So, Wednesday is wish day, hmmm, I wish I hadn't had that second piece of pizza at lunch today!! :grumble: We had a seven hour training seminar at work today, lunch included. PIZZA!!! Why pizza?? And WHY did I allow myself to be so hungry! Yesterday's session I heard had sandwiches. I expected our session today would be…

My tablet went wonkers before I was done. :grumble: @alupinsk - so jealous of your weekend in Pittsburgh! :drinker: That's my hometown, but haven't been back since 2009. Are you from the area? @Helena - congrats on your accomplishment! :flowerforyou: @morgori - they said yesterday that the Superbowl is the second biggest…

Hello guys and gals! :smile: @Robin - I'm sorry I'm late on your good news! When I read your post, all I could hear was Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop saying, "It's not a TOO-MA"! :laugh: I can also relate to the downside of the Prednisone. I battled Hodgkin's Disease twice when I was in my twenties. Prednisone…

Great job!!

Scot, have you tried the Nutella Brownies? They are yummy! I make them in a cupcake pan for portion control or I'd eat te whole pan! :wink: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1002633-3-ingredient-nutella-brownies

Copied from last Discussion: QUOTE: I actually just recommitted to MFP while also using Fitbit last Friday, so my weigh in days will be on Fridays which works out for my challenge to end on Friday, 3/14!!. My goal is to lose 21 lbs by then!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!! Week 0 [1/10] - SW: 271.6 lb Week 1 [1/13-1/20] - 269.0 lb…

Bridgie, you are doing so incredibly well! ten pounds in two weeks?? What are you doing? Please share your tips? :smile:

My opinion (and it's just that, my opinion) I would keep your original goal, even if it's too aggressive. I am thinking that my St Patty's goal may be a little aggressive too, but I am sticking with it!!! Personally, I would rather have an aggressive goal to strive toward even if I fall short. I'm not going to give up on…

Happy Friday Eve!! :drinker: Thursday Truth – I have been taking a break from the Forums. They have been taking up entirely too much of my time. I’d been spending hours and hours everyday between work and home. Every time I logged any food, I’d peep in to see what was going on. Before I knew it, it was nearly time to log…

Down another 1.6 lbs this week for a total of 4.2 lbs. Not quite the 2 lb per week min. I was hoping for, but a loss is a loss and I'll take it!! :smile:

Good day fellow MFP-ers !!! :laugh: @kah - brilliant idea, doing the math on the pre- and post- calorie burn! Until I decided on a HRM, this should work well (at least during my non swimming activities)! But wait, wouldn't that be double dipping if I add those same calories on MFP?? So maybe I don't need to log those…

Go Stillers!!! Are you from Pittsburgh Derp_Diggler?

Who knew!! Interesting read, for sure.

WOW! Thanks everyone for the feedback on my Exercise Diary dilemma! Very good advice. I have been pondering a HRM because I have seen so many people are using them. I am just not sure if I want to get one to ADD to my Fitbit Zip or save my pennies and get a Fitbit Force or Flex. If I am not mistaken, the Flex and Force…

Laura, what a very touching story!! I've been a football mom for over 15 years (my son is now playing college football). There is just something very special about seeing your child excel, whether it's in athletics or the classroom. I can only image the pride you feel for your son for what he's accomplishing!! Kudos to…

Ok everyone, I have a question. My daughter is on this journey with me and tonight we attempted (and I use that term loosely!!) to do Jillian Michaels' 30 Minute Shred. I don't know what I was thinking!!!! I was unable to do most of it and spent half of the workout marching in place. But hey, at least I was moving my body!…
