Interested here also.

Hi ladies! I'm the mom of six; my youngest is about to turn five months old and the oldest is 25 years old. I'm currently wrapping up grad school (I graduate in June...woohoo!) and I also work part time. I gained about 40 lbs with my recent pregnancy, on top of the roughly 50 lbs I'd put on while we were trying to conceive…

I feel like I'm back on track, but am still falling short of what I'd hoped to accomplish. Still, any loss is a good thing...even if it's a slow loss. I'm in the final 3 weeks of the quarter at school, so I'm hoping I can finish our challenge strongly once that's behind me. It's been tough juggling two difficult courses as…

What an awesome idea! Thank you for starting this. I'll be looking forward to being a part of the sequel!

It's hard to believe that 30 days have already passed! Wow! For the first time since we started I posted a gain (1 lb). I know what went wrong, and I know what to do to fix it, so I'm taking it in stride. Here's to a brand new block of 10 days!

I took the weekend off from logging since we were out of town for a wedding. That said, I think I did pretty well regardless. I didn't go crazy, and tried hard to balance out what I ate to accommodate the higher calorie choices. Today my goal is to get back to my routine with calorie counting/logging. I'm also planning to…

I've gotten off track with logging since my schedule has gotten even tighter recently. My #1 goal for today is to return to logging everything I eat. Also, I've been complaining about a lack of time for exercise this entire challenge, so I've decided to browse Pinterest today and find a silly challenge or two that I can…

I lost weight in this last block of 10 days, but not as much as I did in the first block. I'm going to focus on the fact that the scale did go down, and not that it wasn't as much as I'd hoped it would, though. The next 10 days will bring a mini goal for me. I started all of this with it in mind that I wanted to drop some…

It's hard to believe that Sunday is already here! My one and only goal for today is to eat clean for the entire day. No junk food.

As has been usual since starting this challenge, I was fine on calories yesterday...but no good on exercise. Usually that's not the end of the world since my job keeps me very active, but yesterday was a work-at-home day so blah...not ok. My husband is working an OT shift today, and I'm working from home again. I want to…

I'm absolutely overwhelmed with my workload right now. That will be the case until late November, so I'm going to have to find a way to cope with it. In the meantime, I want to try to find a way to work in exercise at least three days a week. I'm viewing this challenge in blocks, since we are set up that way. My goal for…

I've resisted weighing before today and was pleased to see a 2.4 lb loss. Yay! I'll record that on the spreadsheet today. It's been easy for me to stick to my caloric goals because I don't have any chances to snack or graze all day. My schedule just got even worse, and my days are spent either teaching labs or working in…

I stayed on track with calories today, but again wasn't able to work in exercise beyond what my day brought me (lots of stairs and walking). I did get out yesterday for an hour long hike. I need to work on ideas for how to find time to exercise during the week. Any ideas?

Wow! Everyone is doing so well! I love that we can all admit our shortcomings, yet focus more on what we did get right. Honestly, just posting here is a big win in my book. Yesterday was again mostly good for me. The only goal I didn't hit was the exercise again. I'm not going to beat myself up over it though, as I'm…

Excellent job! Keep it up!

I agree that these daily check-in threads are awesome! Day three was mostly successful. I logged, came in under my calorie goal, but I didn't get the chance to swim because I ended up having a very long day at work. I'm hoping that since I'm an academic scientist, and my day consisted of running around a lab for 90 minutes…

Grandma Jackie - Thanks for sharing the poem! I'm still on track. Met my goals again yesterday. Today's goals are similar: log my food intake, meet my caloric goal, and I plan to get a swim in as often as I can before the weather changes and I can't any longer. :)

I did well yesterday and met all of my goals. Today will be harder since I have a rough/long day at work, so I'll be happy with sticking to tracking my eating, meeting my caloric goal, and taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

Hello from Southern California! My goal today is to log my calories, meet my caloric goals, and go for a swim. I had a busy morning teaching a microbiology lab and am working from home for the rest of the day. I can't eat or drink while at work, since I work in a lab, so I need to catch up on my water intake now that I'm…

My name is Erica and I live in Southern California. I've recently returned to MFP after having left because I was pregnant. Unfortunately, we lost the pregnancy at 9.5 weeks; but before that I spent 7 weeks on the couch nauseated and on bed rest. Needless to say, I gained weight that I'd like to take off now. That was our…

How's everyone doing? I'll have my fifth workout for the week done today. I'm only tracking weight, hips and waist measurements. I just checked in this morning and am down a total of 2.8 lbs, lost 0.75 inches from my waist, and 0.80 inches from my hips for week one. Yay for the barre! :)

Thank you. I think Physique57 is my favorite. I like the Bar Method a lot, but the DVDs are soooo long. Most days they're too long to fit into my schedule. I'll do that today though since it's the weekend. The Dailey Method is new to me. I did it once this week and will probably do it again tomorrow. It's similar to Bar…

Hi there! Just sent you both friend requests. Best wishes to you on this journey!

I'm a little late to the party, but would you mind if I join in? I'm rotating between Bar Method, Physique57 and the Dailey Method with the goal of completing five workouts a week. I just started on Monday and have one workout in so far, with another planned for today. Good luck everyone!

Hi! I'm new to MFP and am just getting back to exercising again. I used to CF and trail run, but last summer needed to use heparin during a pregnancy and had to put the weights down because it makes you susceptible to stress fractures. I got into the Bar Method after that...then added Physique57. I haven't been consistent…

Hi! I'm 42 and teach science at a university. I was doing really well with Crossfit and trail running, then ran into some health issues and put on 30 of the approximately 90 pounds I'd worked so hard to get off. Enough is enough! It's time to address that, so I came here after hearing about it from an acquaintance. I'm…
