Working on losing the last 10 lbs... not as easy as you would think...

I would also like to get in on this! Got mine for Christmas and am enjoying it immensely!

Please add me as a MFP friend. I have been using this tool successfully for one years, lost 25 lbs then had life tragedy (death in the family) and put the weight back on.i have gotten back on the wagon and am serious. I have lost 17 lbs in past six months.[/quote]

I saw this commercial on late night TV...

I have noticed that the recent addition of tea to the house, has helped with the weight management.... this is very helpful. (*)

Thank you for posting this! (*) I am truly a lifelong fan of the Elliptical! <3 It is the tried and true way to reduce the 'jiggle in the middle'. I will definately add the suggestions from the first and last postings of "The Little Honeybee" and "Getting My Healthy On". Both reccomend two minutes hi/lo intervals in a 30…

My Goals: ` Do 5 workouts a week. ` Do 2-4 vegetable based meal preps a week. ` Do eliptical once a week. ` Be more consistent with MFP data entry logs. ` Focus on burning 740/day in calories!

i find that i have better luck with weight loss if i do nto eat later in the evening. Coudl it be that you ar taking in signficiant calories post 5:00pm?? That could be a culprit and cntribute to the plateau...

I am 5'7" and would like to be between 185 and 195. I have been a busty [my mom's words!] girl all my life, and definately want to keep the 'bass'. I am a size 18 [XL] at 223lbs and would be like to fit comfortably in the "LARGE" size category for t-shirts, and 'XL" for yoga pants.

my October goals: 1. Complete a 5K 2. Work out five times/week 3. integrate weights/stregfnth training twice a week. 4. lose 5 pounds.

How long do you keep your smoothies in the fridge?

September Goals-- 1. Ride my bike 10 miles on Labor Day [Done!!] 2. Add in Eliptical workout [60 minutes] once a week. CW: 224 GW: 220

Ii think the key is finding 2-3 things you can eat consistently for breakfast, that takes you out of the world most of us grew up with: a. Big Bowl of Cerael b. Big Plate of Grits c. Big plate of fried meat/eggs/bread. Wrap your mind around a very different take on breakfast being necesary for weight loss and improved…

my goals for August include: 1. start training for 5K using C25K 2. work out 5 days/week 3. Add weights/resistance training 3x/week 4. Develop Labor Day strategy to avoid weight gain....

i have met my first goal--hurray! However, my knees are in pain from the running-- I think I will have to amend the C25K to make it Couch to Power walking a 5 K. As for number three, I am going to try to make up for the lack of outside time riding by adding a few extra rides this week. Wish me luck!

I also added C25K-- I have started week 3-- and I did not die...:heart: Also tried my first Qi:blushing: Gong Meditation Class-- we will see if I continue with that...

My family routine is a massive BBQ, with leftovers for the next 3-4 days. My strategy-- a. find recipes for grilling vegetables b. buy a ton of veggies for grilling. So now I have the following fridge 'leftovers'-- a. grilled eggplant 'steaks' b. grilled portobellow mushroom slices c. pan seared peppers [cooked in mini…

My goals for the month of July are: 1. Get out into the single digit 200's [ex. 209, 208] 2. Continue with the C25K Program [in week 3, and its getting hard...] 3. Ride my bike outside once a week

Thank you for posting these details-- as a non-runner I did not understand why there were 'break' days. It also explains the aches and pains and why I need to give my body a rest. I also did not understan dwh it is only 30 minutes-- the concept of the BASE explains it all. Thanks!:wink:

I have set goals for July: 1. Get in to the 200's [single digits, like 209, 208...] 2. Ride my bike outside once a week. 3. Try juicing vegetables.

I am a late convert to this machine. All my family loves it; I just became a fan this winter. I like the fact that you can change up the intensity, with elevation and resistance; and you an change up the hand positioning. I also have a smart phone with a large screen, so I read as I work out! Win Win Baby!

I am still working on the 3500 calorie per week burn...

I have achieved two of my June goals: 1. I am in the 2010's 2. I rode 25 miles in a cycling event Hurrah for me! [Time to start thinking about July...and how to manage Holiday Temptations!!

June Goals: *Burn 3500 calories working out each week *Get into the 210's *Work out six days a week *Complete 25 mile Tour de Cure bike ride!

I agree wholeheartedly!:flowerforyou: That is where you have to be committed to the exercise part of the equation, and the slower progression toward your goal. I go for the 1700-1900 calories range [I am mean and irritable when I am hungry:mad: , and enjoy my food!] and that equates to 90 -120 minutes of cardio and 60-90…

Count me in as well! This is a great time to make that start-- more time to focus on you and to really drill down on the diet. I echo most of what is posted here. However, the dietary selections are key-- the small changes make such a big difference! i also advise to start exploring your vegetables and low carb fruits;…

congratulations on making your weight goal! Q: are you stil going to use MFP?
