I've really started fine tuning my diet and doing the 30ds. I had a baby 4 months ago so I'm still taking things pretty slowly. I think the 20lb goal might be a BIT much for me because I can't drop my calories that low (nursing mama here) but I'm hoping for 10! Next week I hope to find time to start running again.

is it too late to join? age 26 current weight 169lbs goal 3/17 149lbs i'm in sunny Southern California (for the moment)

it didnt help that his mom was practically shoving tacos down his throat. I think it was the drugs that really put him in the hospital I mean it was 3 years after surgery! so you can't really be like "I had surgery complications 3 years later". my dad had Gastric Bypass (he was 450lbs) and died within the month (this was…

and is the website going to magically ask for all of the information and family history? because many websites I have been on sure as heck don't. And i'm strongly unaware of how life really works? and I "realiase" that REALIZE is spelled differently. get a life. If you're going to flame someone via internet at least have…

*applause* way to be RUDE on a website for SUPPORT people. I would pay for a personal menu and maybe an exercise plan. I struggle the worst with food and portions and I think a lot of people do. I put myself in the 'food addict' category and I don't know how to feel full or satisfied. I also have diabetics for parents so…

crap my signature is how I kept track of my weight...

Ellen, LOVE love the challenge!! mainly because I feel like its so achievable for me this week.... these are the 3 new recipes i'm trying this week, all vegetarian dishes. http://www.eatbetteramerica.com/recipes/global-flavors/ratatouille-polenta-bake.aspx (making this one tomorrow night)…

143.5 this morning.. 1/2 lbs gain.. based on how sore my legs are I'm going with build up of lactic acid. we'll see what this week brings. I bought all kinds of beautiful fresh foods yesterday and have 3 vegetarian dishes for my dinner menu! super excited.

Can't wait to see what challenge you bring Ellen. My own challenge bit me in the butt until the weekend I finally sucked it up and got on the treadmill. Ended up with 10 miles this week and now I have sore hips and thighs..lol. I also ate decently over the weekend.. not GREAT but not horrible either and I burned enough on…

Helen.. i'm with you. the entire month of October was a train wreck for me as well, and as long as you can recognize that and move on from it, really its just a small setback on your journey thats all. Stress does the same to me so you are not alone. I have done 10 miles this week and the inside of my thighs and my hips…

true. I definitely knew it could have been worse.

haha.. i'm the excuse queen this week ready? I went down to get on my treadmill last night and it was SURROUNDED by boxes. :huh: I have no idea why my husband put them all there... but it unmotivated me to get on the treadmill. I did get the 30DS in last night however... figured if I wasn't going to run 3-5 then I had to…

weigh in at 143 even this morning.

I know I've been MIA but I want to get this posted a, before I forget, and b for our friends that are on an opposite time zone. :glasses: ******Challenge Week 11/1********* since its getting super cold (and even snowy some places.. .not in CA where I am.. but somewhere. :wink: ) we need to learn how to take up our exercise…

So... I got on the scale this morning and I'm back down to 142.6.. my weight makes NO SENSE! My weight loss journey I can actually pinpoint where the weight gain began. My dad died when I was 15 and I went from a size 5/7 to a size 11/13 seriously within a matter of months. Not sure on the exact numbers but I want to say I…

up 1.8 this week. 144.4 i'm okay with it honestly I've been way off my game, my sodium levels are through the roof. i'm actually taking a break (supposed to have started already) but I didn't want to drop out of the challenge completely. I actually have made myself a doctor appointment (first time I'll have been to the…

I'll join the epic fail group. I was not feeling well yesterday so I didn't cook dinner, so my hubby decided McDonalds... I will never understand why I overeat on foods that don't make me feel good. and why I overeat on it. its like something gets set off in my brain that I have to finish it all! I hate it. new day…

get fitted for it now and if you lose the weight get it taken in. May? why are you ordering dresses now though? if it can be put off until a month or two before the wedding I would go that way. Is she ordering them early and getting them cut from the same batch of material? Ask her if this is the deadline because 7 months…

I'm soooooooooooooooooooo jealous! You've been kicking butt though and i've been nothing but excuses lately... way to push through Angela!

142.6 down 2.8 for the week baby!! :bigsmile: I must have been mad bloated last week or my self kick in the *kitten* this week worked out well for me... or a combination of both.... I'm so not out of the woods yet though. I will not be satisfied until I'm in the 130's. Trigger foods: Pizza (and this one is ROUGH for me…

I honestly think there is something to be at the end of a 10lbs marker. I got stuck at 160.. I got stuck at 150.. and here I am.. stuck around the low 140's. I honestly have to go back and remind myself how much I struggled at those markers to even begin to stay motivated to where I'm at now. Its taken me 2 years to be…

I want to go ahead and post a recipe since I didn't get a chance to last week. I made this last weekend and it was A-Mazing! slow cooker setting :low 2lbs of boneless/skinless chicken 1/2 cup of salsa 1 can of low sodium black beans, rinsed. throw all in crockpot on low setting for 4-6 hours. Serve on salad or whole wheat…

:ohwell: I went from green to yellow.. BUT its my own fault. and I've been WORKING it this week. I ate too much food yesterday but I logged every morsel of it, and did a decent sized burn to try to make up for it. today I feel totally on track, and am going to the gym during my lunch hour AND still plan on working out at…

Jess-- Awesome on the loss!! Opal-- Great burn last night Ellen-- stop getting on the scale so much it'll keep driving you crazy. I always self sabotage on the weekends too (no really, I am the queen). do you know what I weighed on Friday? ( I do Tuesday weigh ins but 'sneak peak' on Fridays). I was 141.2 a SOLID 141.2…

LOL Olivia.. I always dread cleaning. I'm the only one in my household that does it. NOT that I blame my DH, he does work 12 hour shifts... but its ALL on me. Once in a great while he'll run some laundry, but folding? no way.... AND the kids wreck their rooms faster than I can clean it. Hope you get home to your routine…

I'm doing the boys bathroom *gag*(I have two boy toddlers who don't quite understand how to point and shoot.)... AND i'll give the kitchen a good scrubbing too...

:cry: 145.4 today. thats a gain of 1.6. I knew I blew it on the weekend, so I'm hoping its still sodium that I couldn't cleanse yesterday but I worked out more this week than I have in the past month or so. oh well, new day.

Ellen I'm with you! I already have 1 liter (its 9am..) down, my goal is 5 today I'm also hitting up the gym today during my lunch hour, and BFBM when I get home to try and get as close to the 3500 calorie mark as possible. I THINK I might hit 3K, we'll see.

I wont meet it either :( I completely blew my weekend again. I have no self control on the weekends. I will have gotten over 2000 calories burned though... I was active yesterday and today but I didn't log, I also didn't burn as much as I wanted though.

I was totally on this boat for the past... month. I went in for a fitness evaluation and the whole situation just brought me down. I can promise you'll find your way back to your habits. keep you head up high and know in the long run your holding yourself back from meeting your goals faster. At the same time, I'm a firm…
