Hello! My name is Emily. I am 29 and a mother of two. I am from Indiana. I am just beginning my weight loss journey. I am 4 weeks in and down 15lbs out of the 30 for my short term goal. My ultimate goal is to loose 100lbs :) feel free to add me. I am an active MFP user.

I am 3 weeks into my journey with a 100+lb weightloss as my goal.

I'm an active MFP user and would love for some adds!

Congrats on all the weight lost everyone! I am just now checking back and was very surprised to see I was #1 for my team!!

I think that for the May challenge, I am going to change my weight-in day to Friday. I have noticed that it is so much easier for me during the week than the weekend. I have always weighed in on Mondays, but my trouble is that it is nice out and now that we are attending more functions as summer is so close, it is rougher…

Emilym8705 I don't really have a preference on teams. I say what ever you feel you can handle.

Sure I count snacks as meals too. On the fitness challenge, feel free to mix it up. I like to do different ones depending on what my goal areas are for the day.

Weekly nutritional challenge: One of the best super foods that you can eat are greens. Lots of nutrients. For the week, try and add at least one green to each meal. My go to greens are always fresh leaf spinach and roasted or grilled Brussel sprouts. Weekly fitness challenge: making time to get up and stay active is…

I've been so swamped with work I almost forgot to open my MFP app today...I want to keep my streak going because that's how long it been on my journey. Week 1 of 21 day fix is going great, and I am so happy to see my husband sticking with it as well. I haven't bothered to wear my fitbit this week as I know I am stuck at my…

Do I post today or tomorrow morning?

I talked my husband into joining me in doing 21 day fix starting tomorrow. This is huge!! As to whether or not he stays with it, I really hope so. But my husband has never been interested in wanting to lose weight or anything and out of the blue he says he will do it as long as I plan the meals. I'm good with that. As for…

This is one of my favorite lunches. [/quote] I love cucumber subs, I make them for lunch at least once a week.

I feel that with this week I am finally starting to get into a good groove again. I feel like I sort of lost it for about a week and a half after hitting a plateau, but them I took measurements and realized that I lost a great amount of inches. I worked out 5 days, which is a great improvement for me. I'm feeling really…

Ahh yes, lol! I definitely feel the workouts first thing in the morning. Takes me forever to get up.

Love that!!

For those who have been at this for a while. Does it get easier as far as muscle ache after workout, or is it normal most of the time? I've been on my journey for a little over a month. The calf cramping has stopped as I am getting used to being active, but man my thighs are on fire! I've been doing the recommended…

Workouts are kicking my butt, but I know it will be so worth it! I'm doing the bikini body mommy 4.0 workout and piyo. Step goal is 2 miles a day. I plan to up my goal as I go by a little each week to challenge myself. I forgot to add that for the nutrition challenge I don't plan to eat after 6pm everynight. We go to bed…

My quote above is all messed up, lol

That's awesome...keep up the good work! Drink, drink, drink the water. The more you drink, the less you retain. [/quote] I have been working so hard on this. I feel like I am going to turn into a fish but I am doing my best to get it done!

That's great! I weighed myself to see where I was at for the week and I'm down about 2lbs, but I've been dealing with a lot of bloating. I am hoping that I can loose another .5lb by Monday if I work on the water weight.

I have noticed exercise has helped a ton with my stress. I am a work from home mom, so there is always that temptation to go to the fridge and eat or the stress from doing everything all on my own. I have started taking small breaks throughout the day to walk even if it's walking in place for 15 minutes. I noticed a huge…
