Count me in.

30 Day Shred is a great workout!

My name is Malissa and I'd like to join the 9-12 lbs. group.

Thursday QOTD ~ To Do List AND Best Part of Summer We are moving this weekend! There is a lot to do, but it is exciting.

Wow, Palollis, you have overcome a lot! You are awesome!!! I am impressed by your strength!

My health and my family motivate me to eat well and be active. I want to live an healthy and happy life. I want to be proud of how I look and I want my family to be proud of me too. My friends on mfp are great inspirations! I appreciate you all!!

Wednesday QOTD ~ What are you doing for exercise this summer? I love to walk/jog outside in the summer. When it is hot and humid, I walk in the lazy river against the current at our aquatic center. If it is raining I go to the gym and do the elliptical and stationary bike. I have also been doing Jillian's 30 Day Shred 5…

QOTD Tuesday: I read an article recently that said more than 80% of people that lose weight, regain that weight and sometimes more after two years....so what makes you think you are or will be apart of the 20% that keeps the weight off permanently?? I will not gain the weight back. This is a lifestyle and lifetime change…

What is one thing that you are most looking forward to when you hit your goal weight? I look forward to the sense of accomplishment I will have when I hit and maintain my goal weight. I know that my family will be proud of me too.

QOTD Wednesday - How much support do you get at home, from friends and family? Do people support your new healthier choices or is there pressure on you to revert to your old habits every time you see certain people? My family is supportive. They compliment me when I exercise every day. I don't spend much time talking about…

QOTD Tuesday: I often crave sweet stuff and very often give into temptation without much thought. What strategies do you use to keep your willpower strong and not snack? I try not to have too many sweets in the house now. I usually have a Blue Bunny Fudge Bar when I want a dessert. The chocolate goodness lasts quite a…

Yellow Diamonds, Let's go for the win this week! We can do it!

QOTD Sunday ~ A healthy lifestyle is a journey, not an obsession I do not have an ending date. I have a goal weight, but when I reach it I know I will be working to maintain that weight. I want to be healthy for the rest of my life. Also, I don't deprive myself of anything I am craving (I just eat it in moderation), and I…

Friday QOTD ~ The worst weight loss advice someone has given me is to have gastic bypass surgery. It works great for some people, but I know that I am better off exercising and eating healthy to lose weight.

Wednesday QOTD ~ My second favorite weight loss tool (after MFP) is my jogging shoes. A good pair of shoes makes it easier and more comfortable to walk, jog, and do other workouts.

Tuesday QOTD ~ My favorite low calorie snack is fruit salad. I love all kinds of fresh fruit.

Yes! Count the Crystal Light as water. It helps me get enough water in to add CL powder to my water. Sometimes I throw a lemon wedge in my ice water too. Variety makes it easier.

Thursday QOTD ~ supplements I just take a multivitamin every day to make sure I get all of the vitamins I need. Friday QOTD ~ food I can't live without ICE CREAM!!!

Wed. QOTD ~ favorite workouts I like to walk/jog (mostly walk at a quick pace with short bursts of jogging) outside when the weather is nice. When I have to exercise inside I like the elliptical, it is a great workout.

Tuesday's QOTDs ~ I don't have a playlist. I would like to go shopping in Macy's with unlimited money. They have everything!

Way to go, Diamonds in the Rough! We had a great week of weight loss! Hopefully next week we will beat the Diamond Dolls. I would like to welcome my new partner, Trina, to DITR. Have a great day! Eat well and exercise. ;)

QOTD Sunday ~ 5 food items I always have in the kitchen: chicken breasts eggs whole grain bread bananas frozen fudge bars

QOTD Saturday: Calorie-free foods wish ~ PIZZA!!! The calories add up too fast!

QOTD Friday ~ The most wonderful things about reaching my goal weight will be ... feeling healthy and confident leading an active lifestyle with my family having a great sense of accomplishment looking good shopping I can't wait!

I have not attended some reunions and get-togethers with high school and college friends, because I am so much heavier than I used to be. That won't happen again.

Wed. QOTD ~ I do not belong to any other MFP groups. I do like to read the posts that people put on the message boards, though. I find the success stories very motivating. I try very hard to keep my calories at the right level. I also try to exercise 5 times per week. Next month my exercise goal is going to be to walk 100…

Tuesday QOTD I love beaches, oceans, and mountains! The beaches in Alabama, Florida, and New Jersey are beautiful. I have also enjoyed spending time in the Rocky Mountains, Grand Teton Mountains, and Sawtooth Mountains. I would love to vacation in Hawaii, so I could see beaches and mountains in the same place. ;)

My biggest accomplishment is being the mother of three wonderful children! I am very proud of them!

Bump!

Go DITR!!!
