I weigh in on Monday mornings, so I will add my information tomorrow morning. Let's do this, ladies!!

Nice work!!

Not five minutes before getting to your post, I was wondering if I should sign up for the 5Ks that I want to run/walk, or if I should volunteer and run/walk next year. Your post has inspired me to just do it. I'll be signing up for two in September and two in October. Such an inspiring post! :)

* Complete at least 20, 45 minute workouts * Complete a 31 day fitness challenge for squats, abs, and push ups. * Log at least 30 miles walked * Drink only water or tea for the entire month

This is a great reminder. When I first logged on here, I would leave off foods from my log. Fries at the carnival, pizza after a movie where I ate popcorn, candy, and had a soda. And of course the next day I would be committed to starting over. That is such an awful cycle.

This is my second attempt as well! I will send a friend request! :)

Some movement is excellent for arthritis. Does she like to dance? Maybe a line dance class where there's just light leg lifts and shuffling? The recommendations for aqua aerobics or water treading may be nice, too.

Sugar. I have the hardest time passing up anything sweet. I would forego a whole meal for ice cream.

I came to MFP after learning about it on another forum. I'm glad that I did. This site has been an invaluable resource. I have been overweight all my life, but I didn't become obese until I was an adult. As a kid, I loved being active and being outdoors. I ran, climbed trees, biked, and hiked like everyone else, but I was…

This really resonates with me. What a great message, Julie!

Hello! In 1997, I decided to start taking better care of myself. Earlier that year I lost my grandmother to diabetes after watching her suffer for over a year with complications to the disease. Then I went to the hospital due to an eye infection and they had to weigh me in triage. I weighed in at 350 lbs. I don't know if…

When I see pictures of what I used to look like, or see other women my height at their appropriate weight - I get so motivated. Recently, I had a very scary episode with my blood pressure, and I'm now super motivated to continue with my fitness and weight loss goals.

Hi Kaite, I'm Yana. While I don't have any children (yet) I did come back to MFP this year after a short break, and I also have 100+ to lose. I'll send you a request and hopefully we can support one another. :)

My April goal is to commit to and complete my 30 squat, abs, and push up challenge by April 30. So far, so good! :)

Thanks, lady! :)

Hi everyone!!! :) I remember starting this challenge last year. How awesome of you Serene to start it up again!
