Where you lead, I will follow. No, but seriously, if MFP is reluctant to hand over this group to you, then I do think that it would be beneficial for all if we are able to migrate to a new group where responsibility can be shared instead of resting solely on Marks' shoulders. I love this group and everyone in it, and I…

8.5. Nice arms :-P

I'm on Levora, a very low-hormone pill (levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol 0.15/0.03mg) and it works really well for me. I actually function better on a hormone BC because I have a hormonal imbalance and they even me out (re: they make me not crazy). I have been on it for almost 2 years and haven't had any complications…

SW:301.8 CW: 296 (09/30/13) GW: 290 LTGW: Undetermined Week 1: 10/06/13: 294.4 (-1.6) Week 2: 10/13/13: Week 3: 10/20/13: Week 4: 10/27/13: I'll take it! This week hasn't been the best, but it also hasn't been the worst. I have been a complete slacker when it comes to exercising though, and I need to get on that!

Food. Definitely eat food. In all seriousness, there's no magic food that you can eat in order to lose weight faster. My breakfast (when I eat it - I am not a morning person) usually consists of either a bowl of cereal or eggs/toast and such. I also like to get sausage patties and make homemade sausage and cheese…

Welcome back :-)

Everyone is doing AMAZINGLY this month so far!! Keep up the momentum, folks!

This.

I go in an recalculate my calories anytime I show a significant loss... So I'm only losing about 20-30 calories at a time. I didn't even know it'd prompt you to recalculate after awhile!

I have several reasons for why I'm here, both tangible and intangible. Here's a list, in no particular order. -To feel strong and healthy and comfortable in my body. -To be able to walk long distances without pain. -To go hiking and camping without feeling limited. -To love my body. -To feel sexy. -So that when I go to New…

On to October, for bigger and better things! Great job to EVERYONE…

Ridd*ick

Thank you!!

Ok. One more related question. Is there any idea how I'd go about logging the exercises I do with the band, or should I just track it in the notes? I'm not worried about calories or anything, just keeping record of when/what I'm doing.

I did a few reps of each of the exercises on the chart that came with it, and I definitely felt them all! So I will definitely be using it and seeing how it works for me. Dan, thank you for the response, knowing your music preference definitely helped make my decision! .... I didn't realize until re-reading this that I…

I'm going to trade the time I could spend watching an episode of criminal minds for a walk with my dog in a little while. The sky is a beautiful shade of blue and it's just cold enough to have that crisp feeling, so I will definitely enjoy it.

Here in WA, I have to battle the rain this time of year. Thankfully I'm in eastern WA, so a lot of precipitation gets dumped west of the mountains before it has a chance to reach here, so it's not quite as bad as it could be. Anyways, I want to keep walking as long as I can, as I actually enjoy it. I am picking up a…

Totally JUST saw this. Thanks for calling me out. I know my sodium intake is HORRIBLE this week... That sodium *kitten* and I do not get along. Or maybe we get along too well? Who knows. I do love drinking water. So that's something.

Happy anniversary!! And awesome job w/ the squats.

Givens, I have it downloaded on my phone but I have been a complete and total lazy bum recently and haven't used it. I plan to, though.

Today is kind of a blah day, both weather-wise and me mentally... I a going to be mindful not to let that send me to food for comfort.

I have a 28 ounce water bottle that I keep filled at all times, usually refill it about 4-6 times a day depending on how thirsty I am. But then again, I don't keep anything to drink in my house except water, coffee, tea and milk.

I have loved reading all about everyone's furbabies! We just adopted this little angel from a local shelter, they had a booth at the fair yesterday and she picked me. Her name is Trixie, she just turned a year old, and she is wonderful! She has a huge personality, and she has already made our house her home.

I usually expect the estimated calories burned to be way higher than they actually are... But I never thought it'd be that big of a discrepancy! You can change the calories burned, though, to reflect what your HRM says, so that it reflects correctly in your journal if you'd like.

Both, actually. It depends on my mood. Sometimes I will just write whatever comes out and it doesn't make any sense, other times it comes out as poetry or short stories. :-)

Sigh. Tomorrow is date night and since we don't keep soda in the house this *usually* means I drink glass after refreshingly horrible glass of soda. Instead, I will order iced tea.

WOW Danielle, amazing loss!! GREAT job so far, everyone!
