great job!

I'm vegetarian and sometimes vegan :). Friend me.

Hello All and Happy New Year! My goals for today are pretty simple as I try to get back on plan after a two week vacation for the holidays. Thankfully I didn't go crazy over the holidays but haven't been working out, which killed me but with an ailing mother and other things to take care of it was just too taxing. Anyways…

Sorry for not posting earlier I have been traveling a lot this week. ok here we go.... 1). Your goal: Currently 5'9, 174lbs, goal: 160-65lbs 2). Your pledge of what you will do differently to achieve that goal: I just began training for a half marathon in January, after thanksgiving will go back to vegan/veg lifestyle,…

My goal is between 10-15lbs. I'm 5'9, 170 and looking to get over this hump and break the 165 mark.

Im with you!

Congrats on becoming vegan and the added benefit of some weight loss too. I live in MS and have recently become vegetarian and am leaning closer and closer to veganism, the benefits seem to outweigh any reservations I might have. Good luck and welcome to MFP on-line.

Thanks for this post and very well written!

I'm 5"9 and shooting for 160-165, I have been 155 before but it was too skinny. I am now 172 and hoping to get to 165 asap for my wedding but the pounds aren't going anywhere. argh!

feel free to friend me, we all need friends for support! Good luck!

I have a polar too and it is great! I agree, don't buy one without a chest strap. HRM's are great for accuracy, definitely worth the money since the counters on gym equipment are not that accurate.

I'm frustrated this morning as well. Burning 3500 calories per week, eating really well- low carbs and drinking almost a gallon of water everyday. I was hoping for a two pound loss this morning but that didn't happen- just stayed the same. Argh! I have also cut out alcohol as a way to boost everything. Fingers crossed we…

5'9" and love it. I would be a very different person if it weren't for my amazon-like stature.

I have had a lot of success by limiting my carbs to about 50-80 per day. When I eat upwards of 100 the weight remains static and I exercise 5 days per week, burn 400-600 per workout and I don't feel bad with only eating 50 carbs per day.

Enjoy your day! I can't wait for mine in July so that I can enjoy all of the food available and stay away from the salad today- enjoy!!!!!!!

I'm in too! Name/ real name: pooksMS/ Brook Goal weight on May 31st: 165 05/01: 177 05/09: 05/16: 05/23: 05/31:

T:smile: hat's a great question and I would love to know that too. I don't eat back my exercis calories and that keeps it easy.

you look great!

i have recently been using GNC's protein powder for women and it curbs my appetite, is only 70 calories and takes ok.

I am definitely in for this but am waiting for my dvd's to arrive in the mail. When they get here, it should be any day now, I'm in. Sounds like her dvd's are challenging, I can't wait.

Feel free to add me to be your list, I'm new too and new friends for motivation!
