I'm just starting out my MFP journey again today - living in rural Maine we are already having flurries and mountains of snow are on the horizon. I am hoping C25K is something I can do on my treadmill to mix things up a couple days a week. - Thank you for a great post! It was informative and helpful to a beginner! :)

I was down 0.6lbs this week - but after a tumultuous week the one before that made me pretty happy. It's always nice to see that number dropping! I'm gunning for a -1.5 loss this week! Good luck all! :-D

After double dentist appointments on Monday and then getting all four wisdom teeth out Tuesday my whole week was out of whack. The only good thing was - I didn't gain (despite loads of ice cream!) - and so for this week, staying the same is OK. ???? I can't seem to log onto the spreadsheet on my ipad. Is it OK if I don't…

Thanks for creating the group and spreadsheet! The effort is appreciated! Super excited to get started!!! :)

Agree completely! Plus, and this may sound silly, when people say I look great now! It makes me wonder if I looked like *kitten* before! haha Otherwise - it's mostly #1 times a million! I wish for results instantly (doesn't everyone??) but know that since I've done it that way before and it just came back on then I'm…

Am I too late?!?! I'd love to be a part of this!!! :-D I'm Katie. (30years old - mom to two littles) SW 236 GW 185 BMI: 37 Looking forward to the Challenge and making some new MFP friends! :)

This sounds like a perfect addition to the small changes I am already making! I'd love to be a part of it! :)

What a GREAT idea! This is my goal for a year from now - shove those littles in there with me! Thanks for sharing!!! :-D

True. :) My rant was more about the ever quoted "muscle weighs more than fat" line.

MUSCLE DOES NOT WEIGH MORE THAN FAT. If I see that one more time I'm going to lose my mind! 1lb of muscle = 1lb of fat ... because ONE POUND EQUALS ONE POUND That being said, one pound of muscle may be leaner than one pound of fat. So, rather than seeing a change on your scale you may see a change in your body shape…

I want to lose 20(from today's weight - not start) by October 17th I'm in!! ????????

I'm in a similar situation too! SW: 250.0 GW: 185 CW: 238.6 I added a few of you - it's kind of tedious to do so! haha or I would have added more - please, any and all feel free to add me! I love the friendship, support, and accountability!

Thank you! That'd be great! I'm setting smaller goals - not just scale ones! Exercise goal, weight goal, food goal, etc. Here I go ... again! :)

I started T25 then went on a two week vacation - goat back last weekend and am not on week two of alpha (started over) and I love it. My husband is also doing it and he enjoys it as well.

Any spots left??? I'll take any house at this point - love a challenge! And love HP!

Thanks!!

It's probably a combo of bloat/fat to be honest. We took a 10day disney trip last august. I gained 7 and my husband gained 5 while we were gone. I lost 5.5 of that in my first week back and the rest the following - I think it's to be expected any time we deviate from our norm. Just finish out your trip - have fun!!! - and…

Thanks for all of your responses! Day 3 today was a killer - my arms are crazy sore right now and I don't even want to think about squats!

That's fantastic!!! Thanks for the feedback!

Sounds good! I'm a fellow MA girl (in ME currently) but born and raised on the cape! T25 has been great so far - let me know when you start and we can check in/lie on the floor together afterwards! ???? haha Thanks for the add!

I think it must be that, the reduction of just ... crap in my diet. I dropped soda, crap sugar, heavy breads, etc. :)

That's what I figured! I'll take it ... either way, it's a great start for me! :)

I've definitely upped the veggies and reduced the sugar/crap (pretty much living on water, lean protein, fruits, and veggies with some healthy fats at least one meal a day). Thanks!! :)

I did the Advocare 24 day challenge last year with pretty much no results - and big goals of weight/inches to lose. I took the packets afterward into my local nutrition/supplement store (which is privately owned so they are pushing NO products to make overhead.) And two different people told me that, yes, the advocare…

First off, thanks for such a thinker post! I have three different types of "WHY"s. I have the me the Woman, me the Mom, me the Wife. - I want to be attractive - and feel attractive. (Who doesn't?? This is both Woman and Wife.) - I want to buy lingerie for my husband, then be intimate with the lights on. (Wife) - We went to…

Inches are fantastic! Remember, a pound of muscle is much leaner than a pound of fat. Your initial changes may have you being fitter which won't change the scale much but will change your size. Speaking for myself, i have more weight to lose so I will seem "smaller" before I actually lose a lot of weight! Good luck! Maybe…

I only want to lose about 80 pounds total - but if I could get to 100 that would be FANTASTIC! Could I still add some of you ladies?? :)

Thanks for the add! Moms of princesses unite! :P

29 year old mother of two littles - fairly new to this and in need of friends! I am a New England girl - born and raised on Cape Cod, living in Maine for now! Would love to have people to check in with daily/weekly and for support and help! Please add me if this sounds like a match! :)
