Thanks for everyone's advice. I need to do something, that's for sure!

Hi Lee Bee! Thanks for posting on this. No one did, so I just gave up on it. I joined on another "challenge" thread but I need daily goals to keep on track. My goal for today: 1.) exercise after work 2.) Tidy up 3.) Stay within calories.

As I sit here munching on my cardboard, I mean high fiber bran flakes, I thought I'd write a post. Realized that I didn't include weight goals.... CW- 143 (as of weigh in 2 Fridays ago) GW- 135 or a bit lower. (Once upon a time I got down to 127 but my family told me I was too thin. I didn't think so, I was happy.) Most…

Hi! I hope no one minds if I jump in here a little late. I did a March Day by Day challenge and it really helped me realize how much I cheat on calories and how little I exercise. No wonder I don't lose! So my weigh in dates will be on Fridays. (Keep motivated not to cheat on the weekends.) My NSV: A co-worker told me the…

Goals for 4/2/12: 1.) Very little carbs today....try to be WAY under the MFP setting. 2.) LOTS of water. (I'm very good at this during the week and bad on the weekends.) 3.) Kick boxing class tonight!

By the way.... I REALLY liked this group. Even on day's I didn't stay on track, I still logged in. Anyone interested in starting over for April?

Had a bad day all ways around yesterday. It was so bad I got a happy meal for dinner on my way home which wasn't until after 8 p.m. I then sat on my butt all night and watched 3 hours of TV before bed. TODAY: 1.) Lots of water! 2.) Very minimal calories for most of the day. Have a work cocktail party / dinner thing which…

Well, didn't find time to exercise yesterday. Got home from my day around 9 p.m. Other than that, wasn't TOO bad. Today: Already been a bad girl... ate 1/2 a bagel in the office. (they were still warm! couldn't resist.) 1.) Water, 60+ oz. 2.) MUST exercise tonight. MUST!!! 3.) No matter how late I get home, have to tidy up…

Well...we're in the home stretch here with March. Can you believe it?! Didn't meet all my goals yesterday. ALMOST did but blew it between dinner out and nighttime sweet tooth attack. I mean BLEW it. Ended up 400 calories over and in all reality, probablly a little bit more. :( Ok, TODAY's a NEW Day.... 1.) Up the ante on…

Yesterday ALMOST made my goals. Could have lightened up on the sugar more than I did. BUT did go to an hour kick boxing class last night and kept dinner minimal. TODAY: 1.) TONS of water to flush out the sugary nastiness. 2.) Load up the fruits and veggies today 3.) Plan calories around dinner. (Business dinner out tonight…

Ended up working most of the weekend so didn't reach my goals of cleaning and taking time to myself. BUT, I was good about logging everything and even came in under calories on Saturday. Yesterday was a different story, went over when I baked cookies for kiddos (ate like 4 on my own!) but exercised in the afternoon. I…

Well... it's Friday! Yesterday I can in under calories (which MFP gives me that red little warning for) but no exercise. After night class I totally crashed. TODAY: 1.) Watch calories and log everything-- It might even be ok if I'm a LITTLE over today since I was under yesterday. 1200 calories really isn't much! 2.)…

Well yesterday I completely BLEW IT!! The only goal I met was increase protein. But I ended up literally eating like 3/4 of a box of triscuits while writing a paper last night. Ok...today is a NEW day. Goals: 1.) Log everything and watch calories. 2.) Water...water...water!!! 3.) Gym tonight. No EXCUSES!!!

Didn't meet my exercise goal yesterday. Literally had 15 minutes free which I used to go to Dunkin Donuts to get an iced coffee to keep me going. I HAVE to try to get up in the morning to work out. Todays Goals: 1.) Exercise right after work to give me energy... no evening caffeine! 2.) No night time eating after 7:30…

Yesterday: 1.) No snacking on office treats --- DONE! But had a piece of left over cake at night. :( 2.) Step up the exercise--- DONE! Did 45 minutes of cardio and then weights at the gym last night. YAY! 3.) Keep focused and not waist time. -- DONE! Was very productive yesterday. Today: 1. Watch the water intake-- I…

Hello everyone! I can't believe it's already March 19th!!!!! Weekend goals: 1) Log everything and stay within calories---- DONE!!! 2.) Avoid weekend snacking (especially Sunday night snacking in front of the TV)---- DONE!!! 3.) Exercise---DONE!! (Took a long and brisk walk, mixed with a little jogging,both days and did a…

Yesterday's Goals: 1.) EXERCISE!!!!!--DONE (Finally tried my 10 minute trainer DVDs. I wanted to die 5 minutes into the cardio workout. I'm SO out of shape!) 2.) Only one cup of coffee and NO diet coke--- ALMOST (I had one cup of regular coffee in the morning and a decaf iced coffee as an evening snack.) 3.) Hit my calorie…

Hi All! Well yesterday I met my goals but didn't exercise. I've come home at night and ended up a couch potato. I was under my calorie goal but that's really not the way to go here. Ok... new day: 1.) EXERCISE!!!!! 2.) Only one cup of coffee and NO diet coke 3.) Hit my calorie goal. (It's SO hard.... MFP set me at 1200.…

Well.... I sabotaged myself yesterday when my colleagues insisted that I order dessert last night. Today: 1.) Double or even triple my water to flush out all the nastiness. 2.) Seriously limit the carbs! 3.) Up the fruits and veggies today.... I'm in recovery mode here.

Ugh! Didn't exercise at all yesterday. I need to snap out of this! (Does laundry count for anything. LOL). Today's goals: 1.) Exercise.... it's a busy day/evening but no excuses!! 2.) Make good choices.... Oh the temptations!! 3.) Stop beating myself up. The whole point is one day at a time. Today is a NEW day!! Advice…

Well I definitely fell off the wagon a bit over the weekend. Gotta get back on track.... Today's goals: 1.) Watch my calories and come in UNDER goal to make up for it. 2.) Water, water, water (forgot my 20 oz. bottle to keep on my desk. Looks like I will be making lots of trips to the water cooler today.) 3.) Exercise…

Yesterday's goals: 1.) Stay within calories.... Almost did this. Went over by 80 cals. MFP put my settings at 1200. It's REALLY hard. :( 2.) No time for a real workout today. Plan to move around the office as much as possible, walk up and down the stairs a few times extra, and maybe a short yoga DVD before bed.--- Did this…

Yesterday I didn't exercise. Was exhausted after work and took a nap instead. I'm a bad girl! BUT was under my calorie goal. I'm just going to tell myself that it evens out and one day off is ok. Seriously, getting into an exercise routine is though.... my body is like, what are you doing to me?! But, I have muscles that…

This is completely off topic but I went to the grocery store last night. Why is healthy food SO expensive?! I spent 30 bucks on about 6 things! There is something seriously wrong here.

Hi All! This is only my second day posting but it's already given me a little boost that I can do this. I love the one day at a time philosophy! I need to apply to everything in my life..HAHA! Yesterday met all my goals: 1) Went to town with the water 2.) Did 30 Day Shred after work 3) Was very careful when I went out for…

Hi All! I know you're a few days into this, but I hope you don't mind me joining in. I could really use some support. I've been terrible the past few years (yes, I said years) sticking to MFP or any routine for that matter. Every time I get going in the right direction, I sabotage my progress. Years ago I lost a…

I LOVE THIS! TOTALLY MADE MY MORNING BETTER! Here are a few that come to my mind today: Eating your cold salad while your co-workers eat their hot/meaty/cheesy paninis and creamy soup on a cold day! (Happened yesterday) Doing 5 millions things at once while your heart is racing and your boss does NOTHING! (Happens every…

I have to say....this thread makes me feel so much better! I have a hard time with the bend and presses, its nice to know I'm not alone with some of this stuff. And I though jumping rope in place shouldn't be hard for me but it is.. I'll / We'll get there!!

Don't worry so much if it's hard at first....that's what I keep telling myself. I always thing that this should be easier...I mean, how hard are jumping jacks? Well for me....they're hard! LOL. And I can't do a real push up....not even modified... so I do wall push ups for now.... but we can do this! I think it's hilarious…

Hi everyone! Is it too late to join your group? Technically I started the shred last Wednesday... I did it Wednesday and Thursday but could hardly move Friday. (We had a death in the family so weekend workouts didn't happen. Too much emotional stress did a toll on me) BUT, I'm ready to get back at it! How do you y'all do…
