Feb 2014 to run the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon wiht my sister-in-law and mother-in-law!! Not sure where we are staying yet though!! We did just get back from Disney this past December for the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Celebration and we stayed at the Beach Club Resort and we had a fantastic trip and loved the…

Thanks guys! I think I'll buy one too!

We are planning our 3rd trip to Disney for Christmas time this year! Our last trip was 9/10 and I had just lost 54lb right before we left! Sadly I have gained some of it back over the last year and a half and now I'm trying to lose it again before we go on this trip! I have about 6 mths to lose 10lb which doesn't sound…

Bump-thx!!

No offense but ....YUCK!!!

So I have been maintaining for a little over a year and all of a sudden the past few months I have been really fluctuating with my weight, I will gain 3-5lbs and then lose them again. Now I am up like 8lbs and I am so frustrated, I haven't done anything different and I still workout 2-3x a week like I had been so I'm not…

I think the way you are doing it is perfect!! I lost 54lbs 2yrs ago and it took me about 9mths to lose it so I think you are right on track! If you take away all the foods you like/love you are more likely to go back to them and gain back, I definitely think a few small changes and portion control is the key! Good luck…

That's fantastic!!! Great job!!

I have a Polar F7 and I really like it, it has the watch and the chest strap and runs around $100 depending on where you buy it maybe a little more. Got mine as a gift but it came from Sports Authority.

Fantastic, congrats!!!

I failed miserably myself this weekend :(

Ugh not off to a good start so far....... Me:0 LNS: 2 Blah!!

I wasn't part of the team or challenge but Heather75 is one of my friends on MFP and she is consistently supportive to me, so I will join you in your 3 cheers for her....WHOOHOO!!!!

LNS is a huge issue for me!! I'm in and my cut off time will be 9:30p :-)

Fantastic!! I can remember the first time I was able to run a 5K straight thru and I wanted to throw a party after!! I told everyone I came in contact with (which probably annoyed some, but tuff s**t) I am now addicted to running and I have done a ton of road races since then, great job and keep it up!!!

Welcome!! I love this site, been here since Feb 2010 and it helped me to lose over 50lbs, now I am maintaining but I still log in every day!! :flowerforyou:

I also use the Runkeeper app and it is pretty accurate, I sometimes have trouble with the accuracy of my Nike+ but by far the Garmin is pricey but the most accurate!! Good luck with your marathon training!!

Just Dance for Wii has songs by Katy Perry, Brittany Spears, CIndy Lauper, etc, it is very fun and you burn a good amount while doing it!!

I agree that you should take a break I tried that during my active weight loss when I hit a plateau and it worked to break through it, I didn't go crazy or anything just went slightly over on cals and ate what I wanted for the most part anyway!

I lost 54lbs (my goal) last Sept and maintained for a few months, even while on a 10 day vacation, and then all of a sudden I have been gaining and losing the same 5-7lbs since Feb, it is sooooo frustrating :mad: I have recently decided to really crack down and log EVERYTHING I put in my mouth and I also went back to…

Yes I agree to change things up a bit and definitely let your body have rest days!

I felt the same way but I was doing fine maintaining for a few months and then all of a sudden the past couple months I have slowly been gaining back and I'm not sure why, maybe I got too comfortable and have been eating too much not realizing, who knows...my advice to you is to keep logging on here under maintenance and…

Protein shakes are good but I like to make my own shake with chocolate milk and peanut butter and sometimes I throw in a banana! It's yuymmy and with the peanut butter you are getting more protein than just with the milk!

I love them, I have one for breakfast with my morning coffee or I will have one after my workout at the gym!!

Welcome!! This site is awesome! Good luck!:bigsmile:

This sounds delicious and soooo easy, thanks!

I got mine at Sports Authority and I also have the Polar F7, it cost around $120 I think (I got it as a gift) and it has a chest strap. I find it very helpful especially for activites outside like running or walking and also when I use my Wii Fit! :bigsmile:

I also weigh every morning, after I visit the bathroom of course :wink: It keeps me on track I don't see it as a problem!!

I used to burn quite a bit of cals when I was doing that game, I would wear my HRM and play for 30-60mins on the challenge mode so there isn't as much of a lag between songs, it varied but I used to burn anywhere from 200-350 cals depending on the song intensity and how long I did it for!

LOL :noway: :embarassed:
