How large is the group?

I'll be the lone Colorado Springs girl :)

Awesome job! I live in Colorado Springs so Pikes Peak is in my backyard; in fact I did the incline this past week! :)

Don't crash diet! Because if you do it will all go out the window when you get pregnant; if you go on my profile page you should be able to see a pic of my gorgeous triplets that were a result of infertility and PCOS :) There are certain diets or ways of eating that see to be more effective with women with PCOS; by chance…

Whoa! What an amazing job!

First: your hair is to die for! And second, awesome job! I have triplets and hypothyroidism so I feel your pain; thanks for the extra motivation!

I'm a mom to 4 wild boys: a set of triplets that just turned 8 and another little guy that is 5; so my life is crazy, loud, and filled with fart jokes from having 4 boys! I'm always open to new friends on the same journey :)

35 and looking for to lose around 35 more lbs for goal :)

You can do this! What type of help or guidance do you want? Do you have a food scale? That will make your life so much easier and ensure that what you are eating is calculated accurately

I'm 5' 1.5" and started at 172; I'm losing around 1-1.5 per week with a goal weight of 130 although I'll reevaluate as time goes on. The majority of my adult life was spent at 115 but I doubt I'm getting back there! I also have/use a fitbit but CICO has been the difference maker along with weighing every single thing on a…

What an incredible journey to share; fantastic job!

I had a full hysterectomy and oopherectomy at 33 and went on HRT about 18 months after surgery. My hysterectomy didn't really impact my weight one way or the other however it was so much easier to exercise without all of the pain so that helped. I've just decided to get back on the wagon so am at the beginning of the…

Umm we make broccoli rice and its awesome; just a nice change of pace and a great way to get in some extra nutrients and fiber :)

So I have the new Fitbit Force and love it already; have had it for about 4 weeks now. I synced it with MFP and it adjusts my calories up each; so when it shows my new calorie goal for the day on MFP, is that taking into account my weight loss goals on here?

Hi! :smile: So I'm a FT working single mom to 5 year old triplet boys and a 2 year old boy; my life is crazy nuts but running is my free therapy and sanity. Now that my triplets are in school, I'm looking at buying a dreadmill because I just can't see any other way to get my miles in :frown:

Girl you are rocking it! And I love your attitude; there are days we all just take a break and cry...it's what we do after that that matters :heart:

Congratulations! I work in cancer research and stories like yours are the reason I get up and go to work! Wishing you many years of good health :flowerforyou:

I worked at an academic hospital and med school for 7 years and DH is an ED doctor...yeah, sorry but these people saying to demand a break aren't being realistic of a student on rotation. You will get a chance to eat, but it's incredibly variable; I'm sure different hospitals are different, but our med students didn't even…

Ooh I'm tempted but terrified of committing! I'll look into it a little more and see if I think it's realistic...

Hah I love it! And Petit Jean was one of my favorite spots for camping and hiking; used to live in LA but now a Colorado girl :smile:

You are doing awesome! Keep up the great work and celebrate the present you are giving yourself :flowerforyou:

Wow you are killing it! Way to go; enjoy the journey :smile:

My people! Yay for more cold hearted *****es...I mean, people that can take others opinions :drinker:

NovemberJune I hope you bought that suit because you look rockin in it! :drinker: I must admit that these threads are my favorite because they do so much for acceptance and body love :smile:

I'm mainly trying to track to keep up with carbs and sugar; but also to ensure that I'm getting adequate amounts of proteins and fats. I try to stay around certain amounts of calories but don't kill myself to do so :smile:

Last time I did turbo fire I tried to keep up my running but it was crazy hard with work, kids, etc. However, turbo fire improved my running dramatically so there's always that positive!

The only way I ever gained speed consistently was to put more miles in; I also found doing some tempo runs or fartleks were good for getting a feel of what it was to run at the fater speeds. Just remember not to compromise your form for speed or you will pay with injuries and pain. Good luck :smile:

I did day 1 yesterday also :smile: I had forgotten just how much I love to hate Chalene! So who's going to be following the schedule and who is doing their own thing with Turbo Fire mixed in?

Well I found it after some digging around; dondmitri it's an awesome piece of equipment depending on what you are wanting to use it for. I've had mine for close to a year now :smile:

Well what do you enjoy eating? That will give us somewhere to start; for some people taking baby steps work. And for some of us, it's a scorched earth policy from the beginning; only you know what will give you the best chance for success :smile:
