Down another pound this week. ^_^ Always happy to see progress, especially just before heading out on vacation!

Down two pounds this week! Always exciting to see the numbers on the scale moving. As for the fit test, I improved in everything. ^_^ First Fit Test: Jumping Jacks: 50 Push ups (modified): 5 Sit ups: 19 Burpees: 7 Squats: 20 Fit Test Today (8/31/13): Jumping Jacks: 55 Push ups (modified): 12 Sit ups: 26 Burpees: 10 Squats:…

I REALLY need to do this, as I'm leaving for vacation a week from today. Need all the "good" time I can get to help counterbalance, as I know I won't stick to it as closely as I should while I'm away. Let's do this!

Just four days for me.

Water complete for the last two days! Will eventually get in and update the spreadsheet. -_-; Also going to take the tactic of combining walks, as I seem to do fewer longer walks rather than more short ones.

Water complete, no walk today as most of the day was spent in the car.

Water and walking complete for today! Great job everyone!

Done with water for the day! No walk today, hopefully again tomorrow. Also wondering about the spreadsheet, and how to record if I did only one of the two. ^_^

August 3rd results: Water: 17 glasses Walk: 70 minutes (I haven't found a shorter loop yet, so been using this 4ish mile loop.)

Alright, checking in! Current weight: 195 Hot by Halloween Goal: 180 Fit Test: *Jumping Jacks: 50 *Push-ups(modified): 5 *Sit-ups: 19 *Burpees: 7 *Squats: 20 Wow, I feel really unfit right about now! Well, now I have some focused things to work on, so I will keep practicing and hopefully do better next time! I'm sure my…

Hello everyone! I'm Amber. I'll respond to that or just about any variation of my username. ^_^ I'm 27 and finished a graduate program in May. Grad school was.... not so kind to my diet/health, and I ended up gaining a lot of weight. So now in the process of taking it back off. I hope to become more fit in the process, as…

I'd be interested! I could use the accountability/motivation. ^_^

Another Portlander here! I know there are tons of good places to eat and shop, but... I don't get out much, so I'm probably not the best one to ask lol. I can recommend Trader Joe's (though they're not strictly an Oregon thing, I suppose) - love their selection, and they have many healthy options! Lots of local farmer's…

I can definitely relate! I've only been going for 2-3 weeks at this point, but it is definitely something that can be anxiety-provoking. It HAS gotten better, though, so there is hope! I'm lucky enough to have a workout buddy in my sister. Having someone else there that I'm comfortable with has helped me. And getting more…

Trying a pineapple chicken with vegetables recipe I found here on the forums. It's currently cooking away in the crock pot. Will probably pair it with a bit of brown rice.

Very true! I've sent you a friend request.

First time trying one of these mini challenges - I'll give it a go!

I'll join as well (if it's not too late?). Could use something to keep me motivated!

Hi there! Just sent you a friend request. My sister and I are planning on starting C25K in the near future (I roped her into trying it with me). Never been much of a runner, but always wanted to be, so hoping it can start me off on the right track and keep me going! Would love to have more people to share that experience…

Hello! I sent you a friend request. Always looking for more people for mutual cheering-on!

Looks like you're doing great so far! I sent you a friend request. ^.~

Thanks everyone! I am finding MFP to be a good place. Been lurking around the forums and really impressed by how positive and supportive everyone is! USMCnetty90, I'm from Oregon. Plenty of places for me to get out and do some exercising in the great outdoors, I suppose! Thanks for the friend requests - I've added…

Thanks for the welcome and congrats on your success so far!
