I am back to logging and I got my fitbit all set up. I have a goal to lose 16 pounds by 2/21/13. It is my birthday weekend and we have plans for a weekend getaway. I am motivated and trying to move forward. Look out 2014!!

Thanks pfil. I am beating myself up for backsliding. I am motivated by the new year and fresh start it brings. I think the "drained" feeling is getting better each day. Christmas is going to be hard, I'll be with her kids and I am going to do whatever I can to make them feel loved and taken care of. I can't imagine how…

And thanks for keeping our team going!

I am still trying to get back to normal but I am in it for the long haul also. I don't care about winning .... I win every time I get closer to my goal... I am looking forward to the challenge this week, I'll keep you guys posted!

Thank you both for the kind words. I am struggling to get back in the routine of things. My sister left behind 2 young children and I have been trying to help my B.I.L. out as much as I can and being with them is a comfort. However I am running myself down to the point of exhaustion and my daughter is struggling with the…

Well since Jamie went MIA I will fill you guys in on what she already knows/ knew. My sister passed away unexpectedly. I have been turning to food for comfort. I feel terrible mentally and physically. I came back to mfp a few days ago but I am struggling to stay focused and get back into routine.

Answer - A minimum of 1200 Question -What is the basal metabolic rate? A. the rate at which your body produces fats B. the length of time it will take an individual to lose a specified number of pounds C. the amount of energy a body needs to function when at rest

Congrats on your nsv! I bought a new pair jeans in the beginning of October that I can pull off without unzipping or unbuttoning, lol. Its a waste of money but still an nsv.

Happy Sunday! I am about to do the lcw and feeling good about all the moves although I hate burbees!!! I am behind on my squats challenge and need to do 150 today to get back on track.:sad:

Thank you for all your help Pfil!! I raised my calorie intake up to 1400. I did a ton of reading on the forums and the web and I feel comfortable with the increase. Hopefully the increased calories will give me some pep and raise my spirits a bit. :drinker:

I appreciate your help! I am 5'5 and current weight is 210. Goal weight for now is 160. I put the fitbit force on my "Santa list" and I think he already bought it because when I mentioned going to shop for one this past weekend he made excuses why we shouldn't go, lol.

Wow and thank you, this has helped. Mfp has me at 1200 calories a day for a 2 pound loss and 1320 for 1.5 per week. The calculators on other sites are estimating my calorie needs at 1500-1700 for a 2 pound loss. I joined mfp in August and have only lost 10 pounds. I wish I knew how many calories I consumed in a day before…

I wish I had time to play. I have kept my subscription current but when I logged on last week there were so many changes it overwhelmed me. The trailer for the next expantion looks cool though. I have toons on garona and azuremyst, I'll msg you if I log on

Congrats pfil!! Would you all mind telling me how many calories you eat in a day? I have so much weight to lose so i feel like i should be losing it more quickly but it is moving so slow. I am all good with slow and steady progress but I feel like something is not working in my program. I lost my first 20 pounds quick and…

You've probably heard this a million times but OMG your progress is amazing and inspiring!

I appreciate Pfil taking the time to organize this for us but I am disappointed that it was already sent off. I had a really great low cal bruschetta recipe that would've paired nice with out Italian theme. Also I don't know about the rest of you but I think 700 calories for a meal is A LOT. I personally only get 1200-1300…

This is one of my favorite recipes. I am a vegetarian but you can easily add grilled chicken or steak to this dish. Also the vegetables can be swapped out for your favorite veggies. The nutrition info is based on how I make it. Peanut Noodle Sauté Ingredients: 8 ounces whole grain spaghetti 1 bunch green onions, sliced…

Everything sounds great so far. I will post a recipe tonight when I home

My indulgence yesterday was 200 calories of chocolate covered pretzels. I did 20 minutes of extra exercise (circuit draining) to burn off 255 calories.

I hope you feel better Soon mylifenow

I drank a can of mountain dew yesterday and then did 30 day shred to burn it off on top of my usual workout. Today I didn't have a cheat food (yet??). Although I am really hungry and can't wait to go home. I didn't bring a lunch today :(

I LOVE the challenge this week! I bought myself a can of mountain dew and it was wonderful... I will work off the 170 calories tonight after work.

And thank you for all the work you put into this group!

Thank you soccerella for giving me a reason to drink a can of mountain dew!! :happy:

Sometime Monday, she turns it in to soccerella Tuesday morning!

I've had a rough weekend as far as calories go. I celebrated Friday and Saturday with friends for birthdays (not mine). I drank too much and can only hope I have enough time to undo the damage by tomorrow's weigh in. :(
