Some of my recent faves that I have been using on my runs: One Tribe - Black Eyed Peas Hot N Cold - Katy Perry Shake That - Eminem (this is extremely explicit, beware) Stronger - Kanye West Uprising - Muse Switch - Will Smith Shut Up and Let Me Go - Ting Tings

I weigh myself every morning before I hit the shower, just to keep tabs on myself. My official weigh-in is Saturday mornings, first thing. I picked Saturday because I have had a full week of eating well, drinking lots of water, and 4 days of hard workouts. This also keeps me from consuming adult beverages on Friday night.…

Welcome! I use sparkrecipes.com to calculate my recipes. You enter in all your ingredients, then put in the number of servings and voila! you have the information you need to put in your food diary. It is a little time consuming but it helps to know exactly what you are eating. Good luck!

I got some Wii in this morning... I did 45 minutes on Wii Fit - super hula hoop, running - one short distance and one long (sometimes it seems silly to run in place but it burns calories :bigsmile: ), one round of biking, rhythm parade, and maybe some others. Then I did 45 minutes of Just Dance. Wow, that definitely gets…

Hope everyone had a successful first week! I lost a pound for week 1.

I have a Wii Fit, I would love to join! I did not use it for the longest time, too many roommates and schedules don't mesh... I hope to do Wii Fit plus on my off days from Crossfit, just to keep the muscles and joints moving. I did an hour last night, forgot how much fun it was. It said I burned 290 calories. I LOVE hula…

I am participating in my first 5k on April 11th. So my goal for this week is to get a run in on both Sat and Sun. I tend to not do regular exercise on the weekend and only count housework or gardening as my exercise. I hope to change that this weekend! I am also going to be sure I drink my water on Sat/Sun. I tend to…

As long as you have a 500 calorie deficit everyday then you will lose 1 lb/week. I would not suggest eating your exercise calories and just stick to your normal daily allowed amount, you should lose at least 1lb/week. For me, yesterday I went over my calories but still had a 622 deficit with my workout so I should be fine…

I am a Robin, also. :happy: My sister lives in Birch Bay. I love it there! Gorgeous and sleepy (except during holidays).

Hello All! I am in outer SE PDX. I moved here 6 years ago from NY. I absolutely love it here! I am new to MFP but not new to trying to lose weight. :smile:

I have about 50 lbs I would like to lose, too. I would love to join you. Slow and steady is the best way to lose. I have lost 50 lbs already over a stretch of time. I am struggling with the last 50.

I put in 1.5 hours in the garden, success! I did procrastinate longer than I should have but at least I got some stuff done.

I just read that you make costumes for a ballet production. Which one? I think that is awesome! I really enjoy sewing but don't do it very often.

Hello! Thanks for adding me. I can't wait to get to know you all. Robin

I should be working on the front garden today but instead I am catching up on my DVR. I gave myself until noon to get up and get going. At least I got the laundry started, lol!
