  • I'm trying a new recipe for "Curried Coconut Chicken" w/Jasmine Rice & Steamed Veggies :P
  • Hi ;) I think that it's probably accurate because there are some things MFP overestimates on - so, it might be est on the higher end for your step-board workout. You can google either excercise and see what other ppl/websites say. I know that running is pretty accurate on MFP, and after running 2 miles it's only about 200…
  • grrrr - just lost my whole post so here goes again... @Jackie - You are stronger than you give yourself credit I think. You can do this, plus you definitely are not alone bc we are all here for you! *hugs* And TOM is never fun :/ I find it helps if I just hold off from having whatever for a bit, and then have a…
  • OK, so I'm working on making the googledoc spreadsheet for us to all track our progress til Thanksgiving! So, I was thinking we can weigh in on Wednesdays, and if you personally weigh a different day of the week then post results from your most recent weigh-in. So, to start I will need everyone to post their…
  • Don't have much time tday - crazy busy, long story for later. nehooo, did pretty good this weekend, and I've decided on Sundays to eat maintenance calories. Idk if it'll keep me losing steadily, so we'll see :) BTW everyone - w/weekends, it's totally up to you if you want to check in - well, any day for that matter. If you…
  • @Renee - me too! I didn't get my goals done so I will try for the same thing again tday. Let's both jump back on again! @Rachel - that's great that you went swimming! I hope that your neighbors are not like that, but if they are they are very shallow and they are not the kind of neighbors you would want to be friends with…
  • Hello everyone!! busy day ahead for me, so here it goes yesterday: fitness: 30 min cardio - unless grocery shopping counts, lol, did not fit it in yesterday diet: ate more protein, but had some empty cals at lunch, so did not get all of it today (is a new day): fitness: 30 min walk w/family to park this afternoon diet:…
  • lol, my bad :P Still a great thing to do w/your son though :) k, so obviously I'm not getting to bed on time like I'd said I wanted to, oh well. It's easier for me to check in at night most days, so I'll set my goals for tmorrow now. Tday was a rough day... Fitness: Walk 30 min - it rained, and didn't have time w/kids,…
  • I'm in too if you're open to more ppl joining :D Not very coordinated, lol, but I can't help but love JD2
  • @Leslie - Yay! So glad you're joining us :) And it sounds like you had a blast w/your family in Hawaii! Ask your hubby to hide all the treats you got for friends - haha, at least that's what I'd have to do :P And we're still at abt the same weight like we were a mo or two ago, so don't feel bad. And ps for the sugar - try…
  • It can be way off I think :/ But for running, it's accurate I've noticed. Other things not so sure, but you can even google the excercises you do the most off this site and then adjust it to what you've found for your weight. Also, when you set your lifestyle active or sedentary then you should not be logging those regular…
  • @Lana - You are not alone! I've found if I'm hungry the 100 calorie popcorn bags work well - I really like kettlecorn because it's a little sweet but healthy too. I also have found that peanuts or anything high-protein is good, because protein takes longer to burn off and I've read that it's perfect for nightime snacks.…

  • Wow! Everyone is doing so great! @Renee - (I love your name btw) Yay for SAHMs! And I hear you in getting in workouts with toddlers! How old? I try to ignore my housework sometimes (they can make such a mess! lol) and make working out my priority, and then the rest usually gets done too. @Jenni - I know what you mean abt…
  • Make a smoothie maybe ;)
  • @Jackie, great workout! Sounds intense :) And great idea w/the banana pops, sounds good! And with salad, I find it much easier to use less dressing if I can shake the dressing on in a container or something. Idk if you could find a way to do that, but then a little goes a long way. Glad your happy to have the group! me too…
  • K, I will move the thread tday, so look for it when you can. About 1/2 of us haven't checked in yet w/info or goals, so hope to hear from you soon! And jump over to the new thread to do so. Hope everyone is liking the accountability this gives them for every day being a good one! Thanks guys!! ttyl:flowerforyou:…
  • @Jennifer - glad your run went well! I think we have to acknowledge we're not in HS still, lol, my mind doesn't know it sometimes, but my body does! haha. My run went great, thanks, I pushed myself a lot, even though the time is not too great :/ but I did good for me! I also always run with it at a 1% incline bc I read…
  • @ Loveme45, sure, we'd love to have you, we'll just want to be moving the group to a new "closed group" thread soon. Just waiting for everyone to introduce themselves and check-in. The new thread I'll start and title it same but as closed group, so: Daily Goals - Thanksgiving Countdown (Closed Group)

  • Hi! I know what you mean! The more friends, the better, but it can be frustrating. Only one neighbor, and really close family have sd anything to me too. You can add me if you like, and I just started a group you might like, it's for daily personal goals - different from most challenges I think. Seach for Daily Goals -…
  • welcome! I'm a SAHM with 2 little ones, so we have that in common! I just started a group in the forums that you could join if you like! :) it's called Daily Goals - Thanksgiving Countdown and I'm hoping ppl can encourage each other there by checking in ea day w/their goals. Just FYI
  • Meanwhile let's introduce ourselves and set today's goals! (Remember to keep them SMART - Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely) Obviously all our goals will be timely though since we're setting goals for tday! :) I'll start... Name: Shannon Height: 5'2 CW: 149.8 Goal Weight by Thanksgiving: 135 Favorite…
  • and I hope to soon make a google doc w/everyone's goal weight by Thanksgiving and weekly weigh-ins every Monday until then!
