Though I have been to Red Lodge, MT and it is beautiful with the mountains and such, I have to root for my home state MN :smile: There's plenty of ski areas here.. around Brainerd you have Ski Gull and Bemidji you have Buena Vista Ski Area, and even further north you have Lutsen (North Shore of Lake Superior), Giants Ridge…

I live near Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN... it would be great to find a gym buddy :smile:

Short and stout, Love it!! Exactly the words I was trying to look for in my post :smile:

I'm 5'3 and my goal is somewhere between 170-180. I was at 178 a couple of years ago and felt wonderful, and was comfortable in my own body. Then, I felt that I could go down to 170 and still feel comfortable, but too much below that and I, personally, would feel too small and un-proportioned to my body structure (I am…

I was so stoked when I saw the scale yesterday morning! :) ** Way to go everyone so far as…

I'll have to agree with what Scot & CDFlinn said, but also add in that it could also be that your neck/shoulder/upper back muscles have some knots/trigger points that can trigger headaches too. A Deep tissue/Trigger Point massage would help get those out as well as any others your muscles are holding in, helping you relax…

EXCELLENT job on the data!! Thanks for putting in the work and creating this group :)

Starting Challenge Weight: 217.8 Today's weight: 217.0 Total Weight Loss: .8 lbs Halloween Goal: 197 I had kind of a bad weekend with being out of town on a little getaway, but worked my butt off these last few days to get a little loss instead of the gain I would've had :smile: I did lose a little in the measurement areas…

My check-in days are Thursdays, so this works out perfectly! :smile:

Hope your knee heals quickly! I have bad knees myself, so I know how you feel.. my left one went out on me a little bit this weekend from all of the walking I did :( I don't necessarily have a set diet that I follow, just watching my sodium intake for sure... Depending on my daily activities, I'll intake anywhere from…

I guess I don't have an actual set plan, but I set a goal for myself to go to the gym at least 2x a week and keep up with a challenge that I am doing in another group I am in (squats, wall push-ups, crunches are my daily exercises for the challenge). I guess that as well as keep at or under my calorie goal would be what I…

Totally agree! There is always room to better oneself :) Thank you, you are doing great as well!

I will be, just not sure what yet too. I completely agree that 10 lbs definitely does make a difference!

Good luck everyone! :smile:

Hi everyone! Ashley 29, will be 30 on Sept 19th :drinker: Moorhead, MN SW from starting MFP - 227 SW/CW for challenge - 217.8 (just weighed in today) GW for challenge - 197 UGW - 170-180 Good luck to everyone, feel free to add me if you'd like! :smile:

Count me in! I'd LOVE to lose 20 lbs by my 30th, but unfortunately it's only 15 days away :) I do have a Halloween party go go to the weekend before though, so it would be awesome to get this goal complete by then! SW: 227 CW: 220.2 UGW 170-180 Feel free to add me too!

I'm not a huge fan of exercising either, but I've made it a point to do a little more walking, get out to the garden and, and even cleaning around the apartment & garage so that I can burn extra calories to help out as well as eat a little more during the day. Eventually I'll need to head to the gym so that I can tone as I…

I too, need my coffee every morning and enjoy it quite strong. It's something that I probably won't ever give up to be honest :drinker: I currently use the sugar free Coffee-Mate French Vanilla and Sugar in the Raw. On average I start out with 12-16oz of coffee (I use larger cups), start out with 1 packet (5g) of the sugar…

I have it in both of my feet, but since I stopped working as a hair stylist it hasn't flared up as much as it used to (only if I go somewhere and stand a ton or am out hiking around). The biggest thing that helped me was making sure I stretched it out after standing/walking or sitting down for a long period of time. I…

I'll be 30 next month and have about 50lbs to lose. Congrats on completing your 1st week! I'm a couple days shy from mine, but it's been a HUGE help for me to track everything.. makes me more accountable for what I intake as well as gets me moving a lot more too. Feel free to add me if you'd like :)

Very informational! Thank you for posting! :smile:

I absolutely love Caribou coffee, any flavor, but usually have Folgers Custom Roast on hand. Don't have a K cup machine, so I brew mine the regular way.
