You will do great!!! She has 2 girls to follow, one advanced and one beginner so you can take it at your level and work your way up.

of course, everyone is welcome :) good luck!!! we are all going to have different rest days and go at a different pace so a few day head start is no biggie!

everyone has to start somewhere, take it slow and ease into it :) MFP is full of so many amazing success stories and wonderful encouragement. feel free to add me and we can push one another to eat right and keep on track with our workouts.. small or large :)

I youtubed level 1 before ordering it and thought the same thing, they make it look simple but I hear that is false haha

GROUP MADE!!!! Feel free to join it, assuming I did it right I have invited everyone that I have become friends with from this forum and will invite anyone else who requests me. It is called 30 DAY SHRED, STARTING MARCH 1ST!!!! If you can not find it or if I made it wrong let me know :)

SO.... I am SUPER thrilled with the responses!!!! I didn't expect so many enthusiastic people :) does anyone know if there are groups on MFP or if it is only your personal friends and page. It would be great to start a group that all of us can join for this so we can all participate and so we do not overload our current…

GREAT suggestion... I have never measured myself!

Welcome to MFP and congrats your your baby!! So glad to hear you are happy with it so far :) I look forward to us whipping back into shape and cheering each other on! I think you will really like MFP, it has helped me realize what is and is not healthy to eat and I have a much better perspective on what a healthy portion…

loaded baked potato!!! for the meat it is a toss up between my boyfriends prepped rare filet mignon and my moms ribs :) i would be more then happy to throw in a perfectly juicy corn on the cob as well

eliminated processed food in my regular routine. artificial cheese was a big one for me and my boyfriend... i think we lost our first 10 lbs just by giving up doritos, cheetos, chips, and munchies. our other thing that worked great but we keep sliding on is not drinking during the week.. each beer adds up!

This is the flaw with MFP, it can only do the general math and the lowest calories it can give you is 1200 which really is too low if you are doing any exercise which you should be. You can override the calorie suggestion to a higher daily calorie goal. You do not want to deprive your body of the nutrients it needs or have…

Thank you all so much!!! A lot of really great suggestions I will look into! You should see me attempt at a plank... it is a sad sight haha. Hopefully within 3 month I can do planks and pushups no prob!

Thanks so much! I looked into 3 of the Jillian Michaels videos and ordered 30 day shred, ripped in 30, and 6 week 6 pack and think rotating between them, the elliptical then walking on my relax days will shape me up for sure! Hopefully my downstairs neighbors wont be bothered haha.

i HATE cleaning the floors... sweeping, vacuuming, or mopping... all are torture!!! but i always get a good sweat going so its a good workout i suppose

I do two things, I use other items already in the database that best resemble what I ate and I create saved meals if it is something I will likely eat again. There are times I forget or get to lazy with elaborate items but typically I will not skip anything even if it is my best guess otherwise extra calories tend to get…

Great goal and welcome!!! Through MFP I have lost my bulk weight and am in what I find to be the hardest phase of loosing/shifting as you put it those last 10-15 lbs to be in tip top healthy shape. Feel free to add me for support.

the 2 ways i LOVE cottage cheese are with strawberry yogart and with pineapple, simply never gets old and always amazing... now i want pineapple and cottage cheese so badly haha

I drive my boyfriend crazy by eating the exact same breakfast every day.... cheerios, banana, and none fat milk. i enjoy it, it fills me up, and its healthy so i see no reason other then on the weekend with friends to change, and then i usually feel sick afterwards from the richness. lunch i do about 2 weeks of the same…

welcome to MFP, great choice for a successful lifestyle change that i promise will actually work!! feel free to add me as a friend, MFP has been an amazing motivator for me to loose the weight i had been trying to loose for years :) and happy halloween.... watch out for those tricky treats ;)

San Francisco here!!! I am still at work when everyone seems to complete their food diary for the day. If you want new friends in your time zone feel free to add me, we can be up at the same time to congrats each other for days well done :)

I am right there with you!! after about a year on here it took me until a few weeks ago to get involved in the boards and adding friends. There is a lot of great support, fantastic ideas, and good motivation on here. Feel free to add me if you are looking for friends to cheer each other on and motivate to keep it up :)

Thank you all, I have looked into my BMR and have adjusted my daily calorie goal to that new number which is 1330 and i will eat more depending on my workouts, its scary that I may have been putting my body into "starvation mode" all this time.. luckily it was only a couple times a week that i was able to achieve 1200…

I LOVE the egg white idea!!! hard boiled in the fridge would be great another thing that works is 2 small lunches spaced out rather then 1 big lunch, thinking about it a person who works 9-5:30 will eat breakfast around 8, lunch around 12, then not be able to eat dinner till around 6:30 which is not an equal spacing and…

i work a desk job and when it is slow or when I begin to get restless from sitting to long I find the desire to eat as my outlet. I truly think I am hungry, my stomach feels hallow at times, but I know its simply boredom. At first I tried to not keep any unhealthy snack in the office but I found myself just not eating the…

i was able to lose the excess 15 lbs that i had just hanging on me without much exercise but now that i am down to the last 10lbs it seems impossible, i have not lost a pound in a month with simply keeping to my calorie goal without exercise so its time to jump into active gear to complete my goal. also when you loose…

my weakness is that candy dish on the reception desk!!! at 2pm the fun size twix screams my name. also at lunch when the guys eat chips, why is it that the sound of crunch makes you want something you would normally never even think to eat... i find i can not stop the temptation and can not chew gum due to customers so i…

there are some GREAT ideas here, thank you all so much for the help!!! I will be trying many of them :) I am currently on a Sandwich thin kick that spices it up enough for a week and is super filling Oroweat - Honey Oat Sandwich Thins, 1 roll Safeway - Dijon Mustard, 1.75 tsp Oscar Mayer - Deli Fresh Mesquite Turkey…

Those pita pizzas sound amazing!!! thank you so much for the recommendation!! It is so hard to believe something so yummy with so many toppings can be so low is cal, I can not wait to try it :)

oh that sounds like a great way to spice up tuna and eat it without bread or crackers! thanks!

MFP is a great tool to keep on track, feel free to add me if you want more friends!! i have lost 17 lbs so far and know you will see great results :)
