The morning protein shake really does it for me. I just started them and that totally satisfy my appetite for hours!

Hi everyone! I really like this challenge. I am a school teacher and have been on break for two weeks. In those two weeks I have done a really great job sticking wiht my workouts (not so great with eating). I would like to continue doing well once I start work again tomorrow. Goals for January 2: 1. Drink at least 6…

I would look up a pumpkin pie mix recipe and make that. you can put it in smoothies, or make some pumpkin pie parfaits with it. I have also made pumpkin soup this year with it. My website has the recipes for the soup and parfaits (which are to die for so i would totally recommend those if you make a mix) My blog is…

Like you said, always clean after right away. I used to use bandaids to buffer the friction, and also a really tight and supportive sports bra. As far as the workouts, I would just see how it feels while you're doing them. if it's uncomfortable, stop and do something lighter. Good luck!

I love making a Sunday breakfast for my husband and I on Sundays. I'll make homemade whipped cream for my coffee, and then make pancakes, french toast of waffles with all the yummy topping and fillers. I don't do it every weekend, but when i do do it, i try to eat light the rest of the day, but i know I always go over my…

Wow! We're all so proud of you! It's so good to hear someone who has met their goal! And to read how you were successful at breaking through your plateau. Thanks for the post. Good work!

1. Workout 30 mins a day (minimum) 2. Drink my H20! 3. Not go over my calories!

Is it too late for me to join?! I need some support here in my last 8lbs! It's been hard to lose them and I've been slacking off big time! I would love to join if I can! Name or nickname: Heather Current Weight: 134 Goal Weight (It doesn't have to be for the holidays necessarily): 126 is my ultimate goal. I feel like this…

Go light. Doing something is better than nothing but make sure not to stress your body out too much. If you go too hard it might take your body longer to recover from the sickness. I have a nasty cold right now too and the thought of working out makes me want to fall asleep. I am going light with long walks and light…

I agree with Shanni. If you have a weird feeling about it, there is most likely a reason for it. I know I wouldn't be feeling that. Listen to your instincts on this one. If you're usually ok with it and you aren't right now, then something is up. Talk to him about it before something happens that can't be taken back. Good…

Sweet! Thank you!

I turn mine off when I finish a workout. Sometimes I forget for a minute but then I turn it off when I remember. I think that's the best way to do it. :)

I'm in! I flaked out the end of last week and this weekend so my goal this week is to post EVERYDAY Mon-Sat. It's time to kick myself in the butt!!!!

Thanks, girl!

I am using a grace day for Thursday! Came home, totally vegged out with my hubby in front of the tv, and then he made a Checkers run. "Seasoned french fries Damn your temptation!!!!!" Hope everyone had a little more gumption than I did today!

Oooops, forgot to sign in last night before bed. I was 5/5 yesterday, I have 1 grace day now. Nice job everyone!

I feel your frustration. It's hard! I have similar issues on and off. I would suggest lowering your cals by a few hundred. I'm 5'7 and I have been told by my doctor and physical trainer to eat about 1400 a day. And when I exercise I do not count those calories as "food I can not eat." that is the only way that has worked…

I just made chicken enchilada's last week and froze them. Mine turned out great!

Goal 2 - drink at least 8 cups of water- 9 Goal 3 - work out for 30 minutes per day (short 45 minute one today, longer one tomorrow) Goal 4 - stay under your calories (just under) Goal 5 - do something for yourself (read a magazine article, a book, work on a hobby,…

Thanks for letting me know! :)

I'm in if I can be! I didn't realize last week that this says for NEW people. I have been on and off of MFP for years! i've never really been that good at posting all of my food, closing out my log each night, drinking all of my water, and all the other goals you have for this challenge so I really wanted to do it. Can…
