hey add me too ! Just started my second week yesterday, I work out regularly but man this kicks *kitten* ! let's get through this together....

GREAT POST ! I havern't lost any weight for the month of June and several of the reasons why are on your list..... struggling to get back on track and stay committed. It's helpful for me to look at a clear cut analysis of the areas I need to readdress to achieve my goals. Thanks so much....

I agree, if you live in BC then outdoors is the place to be .... ! Abbotsford, BC here.

I weigh myself every day after I pee. I don't kow why, cuz I know it goes up and down, but if it goes up then I kind of make a mental note and it motivates me to stay on track

you look absolutely wonderful and I agree with the earlier comment, you look years younger. Congratulations !

hey welcome Barb, I'm lower mainland !

wonderful thank you !

LOL.... just got back from a week in Vegas (yes a week ! ) .... guess you know what that means !!!!!

definitely protein... chicken breast, tuna, shakes (I started using a whey protein isolate which is awesome) are the best but I also love salmon and steak but that's higher in fat too of course. But really try to eat protein at every meal.

that's fantastic, good for you ! what inspiration.... hoping to do a marathon someday (I like to skate) so I think anyone who does it has a lot of guts .....!

you look amazing ! congratulations !

Born in Ontario.... Raised in Nova Scotia.... And now living in Abbotsford, BC !

you look totally fantastic and love the sense of humour ! you really show that a great attitude will get you everywhere ..... thanks for posting.

keep up the hard work !

I don't know the answer to your questions but you just made my day because I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks and I've been stressing about blowing all my hard work in that week !

holy crap !!!! are you ever ripped ! wow, now that's inspiration.....

It looks to me like you're rocking that bikini ! Congratulations, you look years younger and absolutely amazing. You've inspired me to keep at it....

bump

chicken breast and spinach.... again. Really in need of some yummy and quick recipes....

great job ! you look fantastic :smile:

Maybe try this... go to the following website: http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.php plug in your weight, age etc and then choose hiking with the 21-42 pounds weight range. that should give you a calorie total that you can enter into MFP as a personal exercise. I've used calculators from other internet sites to get…

me too ! I'm really frustrated as well. I took off 10 pounds fairly easily and then have stayed there for weeks. I've been exercising 5-6 days a week and I can really see a change in my stamina and what I can do physically but my weight hasn't budged. Really don't want to focus on the numbers on the scale and I'm proud…

Hi all Here's the webpage that was posted the other day, I warn you though, it's pretty scary. The restaurants listed are the worst offenders but I imagine lots are just or almost as bad and you might not even know it.... http://health.yahoo.net/experts/eatthis/saltiest-foods-2011

what a great post !!!! Somebody else posted an article the other day about the salt in most restaurant food and, I agree, it's completely shocking because until you educate yourself, and when you're consuming it on a regular basis, you really have no idea. I ate a slice of pizza tonight with my kids and I could taste it,…

that's shocking isn't it ???? I was appalled when invited out for breakfast with a friend (White Spot - Canada) and then realized I had comsumed a megatonne of salt once I programmed what I ate into MFP. That's why this tool is so fanatstic. I really appreciate others helping to educating me about what I'm consuming.…

Good start to the challenge ! I had a rough start to the week because I went to my first fitness class ever and it was BRUTAL! Thankfully I found another one that I can go to on my lunch break and which I can actually do. Whahoo ! Starting weight : 169.8 Mar 27 Week 1 - Apr 3: 165.6 Week 2 - Apr 10: Week 3 - Apr 17: Week 4…

that's fantastic, you look absolutely amazing. Best of luck !!!!
