What's up, good people?! I weighed in last Wednesday at 148.5. I'm on Day 7 of a 10-day thing, so my next weigh in is not until Sunday morning. My first goal is 138, the next is 132, and then somewhere in the neighborhood of 125-128 I think - but it's REALLY about the fit of the clothes and how I look in a 2 piece! I'm…

I'm Maria, 37, wanting to lose 10 lbs now, 6 lbs after that, then MAYBE 7 after that, but we'll see. I've run 2 marathons, tons of half-marathons. The LOML is a personal trainer, but we eat poorly. He's helping me with my workouts and diet, so hopefully I'll be able to get to my goal, which is Operation: Bikini Body! I…

Hey Jess! Females under age 39 range in 25-31% body fat. Good thing you are trying to tackle this now, rather than later. Good luck!!! “Failure is not falling down, it is not getting up again” - Mary Pickford

Me! Me! Me! I'm 5'4" looking to lose 10lbs in my Phase I. Those 10 might be enough, but I might do a Phase II and try to lose an additional 6. I'm currently weighing in at 145.5, already lost 3 (goal is 138).

Lack of food has affected my brain. So sorry that the last post was chipper x 1000.

Add me! You can do this! Nothin but positive vibes from me... Hope you are having a SUPER FANTASTIC, FABULOUS DAY!!!

The reason your doctor said to use stevia is because the carbohydrates in it come from Erythritol - a sugar alcohol that passes through your system mostly undigested. Since the body doesn't break it down, you don't get energy/calories from it. There are a number of different sugar alcohols (FYI, they're also called…

Please add me! I'm trying first to lose the extra weight, tone up then maintain. #lookgoodnaked

I sent you a friend request... I'm on a crazy diet and exercise plan as well, currently on Day 5 of a 10-day plan, then on to Phase 2 which consists of a second 10 day plan. How is yours going so far?

You can do it! Sending a friend request now

I need friends too!!! And BTW, work is ALWAYS trying to sabotage me! I think I sent you a req, if not, send one my way... I'm trying to collect friends, I enjoy everyone's statuses. Good luck!

Hey Jen, thanks for the add! It's all about calories in vs calories out... find a program that works for you and stick to it cuz it's also about consistency. Good luck, you can do this!!!

I need friends too PLEASE! I've been on MFP for sometime, but JUST started using it for help with my weight loss goal. First goal is a 10 pound loss and then we'll see where to go from there. Mostly, I like to see everyone else's progress cuz it complete inspires me. So please feel free to add me!

Hey there! Good luck on your journey, you can do it! There are A TON of exercise videos available on youtube, just gotta know what you're looking for. For example, I know Phase I of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred is online. Definitely find a balance of cardio + strength training and you'll do great. Just keep in mind…

I have no post-marathon meals... the WHOLE reason I run is because I love to eat and drink! I mean, my whole motivation for FINISHING a race is the beer at the end! ;-) I hear ya about the snow - it actually snowed this morning in Chicago. And maybe some tonight. But at least it will be 60°F on Sunday! Here's Hal's 1/2…

Hey! I had Day 1 again yesterday, and now I'm on Day 2! I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK! "Failure is not falling down, it is not getting up again." - Mary Pickford You can do this!

Well then, you owe me $20 because it wasn't me, but I find it so hilarious that you think it was. I don't have time, energy nor want to post stupid un-positive B.S. on MY THREAD. Told y'all, all that negativity IS NOT WELCOME here! And the 950 calories has been going well... Ever seen a wrestler/fighter/boxer cut weight?…

It'll last 10 days. After that, if I want, I can go to the 1200 calorie program, then the 1500 cal program, then maintenance. Jackie Warner is a brilliant trainer. If you read the whole book, she explains the science behind it, provides a complete 30 day program as well as a maintenance program (45% carbs, 35% protein, 20%…

Thanks, trogalicious! But question, what if it DOESN'T fail? What if it does exactly what *I* need it to do? Is it right for people to be negative, when message boards and blogs like this are supposed to be about support and helping each other out?! At least your post provided a SOLUTION (which, by the way is much…

WOW, way to be positive and motivational... No need for your kind of support on my blog or page!

Hey Texas, come up to Chicago! Running 1/2 marathons in other cities is so awesome! You get to see parts of cities that you normally wouldn't see and one of the things I do on runs is house-shop LOL Anyway, GoldFish, check out Hal Higdon's training info online, he has different training programs for different levels. Also,…

Thanks for your input! This is the first time I've tried a 10-day program, actually. Quite honestly, I eat well, but probably just splurge more than I should. I'm fairly healthy, but just want to get to a goal weight. I've attributed these extra 10-pounds to the LOVE bug and just want to do something that's 100% laid out…

Because I've been trying to "diet" all year! So this is probably my 4th or 5th "Day 1" on a new diet so far. I'm really hoping it's my LAST Day 1 ever! ;-)
