Thanks all. The confusing part is there seem to be varying opinions on this (which seems to be the case for a lot of things). I am now finding some more research that is indicating my total cholesterol may be too low. I am guessing my numbers dropped because of the endurance cardio activities I participate in. I might have…

That I am not sure about, I haven't had it tested in a few years. My mom does have thyroid problems though, so it does run in the family.

I'm still here! I had a busy week last week and I'm about to have an even busier one this week. I will join the walkers as I did not check in this past weekend. I skipped the challenge and I didn't complete one of my goals. My goals: 1. Cycle 100 miles and walk/run 5 miles per week Complete, 107 miles biked and 8 miles…

Reporting for first responders. I completed both the FR video and the 3 zumba videos. My goals: 1. Cycle 100 miles and walk/run 5 miles per week Complete, 123 miles biked and 6 miles jogged 2. Stay at/under calories 7/7 days per week & drink at least 64 oz water per day Complete 3. Lose 1 lb per week Complete

You know it's bad if your non-judgmental best friends are judging you!

LOL just did my first zumba, as if I didn't feel like a big enough idiot - but then the look I got from my dogs just added to it!

Reporting for first responders. I completed the sally squats video and the fit test. My fitness test: Mile: 9 min 27 sec Full push ups: 2 Half push ups: 9 Squats: 100 Static plank: 1 min 48 sec Sit and reach: +5" My goals: 1. Cycle 100 miles and walk/run 5 miles per week Complete, 106 miles biked and 6-7 miles…

1. Name, Age, Marital Status, Children, Where do you live? Kirsten, 25, Single, Two crazy dogs, Minneapolis, MN 2. Weight and how long have you been on MFP? 176.4 lbs as of today. I originally joined MFP about 1.5 years ago, lost a little but with life changes gained it back + more. I hopped on a few times since then, but…

SW: 176.4 CW: 176.4 CGW: 160

My fitness test: Mile: 9 min 37 sec Full push ups: 2 Half push ups: 9 Squats: 100 (could have probably done more, but....bored) Static plank: 1 min 48 sec Sit and reach: +5" I'm doing great on all of my goals, EXCEPT I am super bloated this week and I have no clue if I will see my 1 lb weight loss! :/

I was going to start the fitness test, but I was too lazy to go for my jog! I did the squats video instead, I'm glad I have strong legs because that was a little tough! Fitness test will be demolished on Wednesday :smile:

I'm Kirsten, I was recently part of a 3 month challenge and I was doing awesome! Then today I went to check in and it was shut down for some reason :(. So I went in search of a new challenge and I found this group! My 3 goals are: 1. Cycle 100 miles and walk/run 5 miles per week 2. Stay at/under calories 7/7 days per week…

Add me! I am active on here every day!

I definitely agree with eating what makes you happy in moderation! You can lose weight eating a lot of "bad" foods, just comes down to portion control. If I want to have a high calorie meal, I exercise extra that day and I am able to remain under my calorie goal. http://www.skinnytaste.com/ Check out that website for…

I have also made noodles out of very thinly sliced bell pepper, it tastes really good in a cajun style dish or with an alfredo type sauce. You can't even tell they aren't noodles!

I'm in for new friends!

I am also a noob and trying to lose about 30 pounds. I cycle somewhere around 100 miles a week and I also do yoga 2-4 times a week. A question for everyone stating lifting will help you to not lose any muscle. Is 3 vinyasa yoga classes per week a good way to help prevent muscle loss? I am not really interested in lifting…

I will join!
