Hey everyone, So, as many of you saw, even those that are so very motivated to start a challenge can fail, have second thoughts about this whole thing and make the decision to move on or out. My exercise wasn't up to par this week. Honestly, I'd be ashamed to even add it. My eating was beyond horrible. I could blame work…

Good morning to you all. I have to admit that the scale brought me down again today. No gain, but no loss either. I should be happy with just that since I have, again, been stress eating. I am totally and perfectly fine during the day. Then BOOM!!! the stresses of work, the planning of a wedding when keeping etiquette in…

Keep up the good work, guys!!! I know this is not easy - it's not supposed to be!!! Not going to be able to do hot yoga this week - the schedule isn't allowing it. BUT!!!! I did a Leslie Sansome DVD on Monday and the Stair machine yesterday - 2 new things! Not sure I love either, but it was nice to try something new. Great…

I love the goal of eating fish twice - that is a great goal, guys! This week was better than last. My eating is getting better, not great, but better, and I liked lifting weights. I burned 2704 calories. My goal was 2400 (adjusted that after upping my calories). I'm down some weight and up some confidence and that's what…

Happy Friday to you all!!! Where you at?!?!?!? Here's my update: 1549/2200 cals as of this morning - yay! I've lifted weights twice this week and I'm just a little sore. It feels pretty good though! I've done a good job of finding far parking spaces, except at work in the morning. I sometimes have way too much to carry in…

Thanks for posting, ladies!!! It's kinda nice to see that we have some of the same challenges. The way I see it, the first week of change is the hardest - it is from that week, though, that we learn what we need to do. In this case, we have 3 weeks to kick butt. I'm loving all the effort you guys put into last week and am…

This was a tough week - but it's not called a challenge for nothing! I was disappointed when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw a .8lbs gain, but I know it was my own fault. Celebration dinners and eating crap at night killed all the work I did in the gym - 4884 calories overall. To some, .8lbs is whatever, but…

Thanks for the check-in, girls! Whit - that's why tomorrow starts a new week. Look at this week as a way of seeing where you were at. Even though you didn't hit the calorie burn, did you do a new activity or make a healthy choice twice this week? Either one of those are huge accomplishments too!!! Sharp - Great job! Same…

Hello to all you challengers!!!! It's Sunday night - you have one more day to go for that calorie burn, good choice Xs2 and your new activity. I already know what my goal is for this upcoming week. Yes, I can burn those big cals in the gym, but I eat like crap for dinner and at night - it totally ruins all the work I did.…

TGIF, guys!!!! Just wanted to check in to see how everyone is doing. Here's my update: Calorie burn (Tuesday through 12pm Friday) - 2391 Do something that's good for you 2Xs- 30DS with Jillian One new activity - I tried an eliptical that I never tried before (the arms always looked a little weird to me, so I never tried…

Let's see if I do this right this time - - - - Weeks = Tuesday to Monday. Report your weigh in on Tuesday. This week, you will add cals from May 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and post it on May 8th. NOPE!!! Still didn't work! I feel so dumb. The info is good for everyone though! :laugh:

[/quote] How is the 30DS? I've seen some nice before and after pics. Does it have a lot of jumping? I'm tempted to try it, but I have to be careful, I have not advance to that range of motion yet, and the side steps is very little cardio compared to JJs. I'm waiting for the clock to run down so I can spend some quality…

WooooooooooooooooooooHooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo May 1st!!! Can I just say that I picked the WORST week to start this whole thing?!?!? This week I have an anniversary and bday. Of course, that means dinner and cake!!! But, I'm here, I'm ready and can't wait to see where we all are at the end of this month. This morning…

Hey guys, It's Sunday night - - - are you thinking / planning for the week / month ahead? You have just a little over a day to get your game plan down for the first week of May. The calorie burn goal is to push you to the point where you'll be sweating away that plateau, those bad foods that you know you shouldn't have…

Wow - I should probably fill this out too, huh?!? May: Lose 10 pounds (measuring w scale on Tuesday morning) Motivators: Weddings - 2 this year and MINE next!!! Biggest weaknesses - Eating at night, eating junk when stressed, excuses Starting May 1: 2200 calories per week Hot yoga is my activity next week - thanks,…

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!! I've been stuck on the same 10lbs for months, so I know where you're coming from with wanting to give up on yourself. Honestly, this site has helped me get through those days when others just don't get it! Plus, when I lose an amount that seems insignificant to me, my MFP buddies always leave a…

I felt the same way - - - Boot camp??? Zumba?? There were people who did those workouts for FUN!!! Darn skinny people!!! Lol! I'm sure that feeling will go away - you just have to give it a chance to by going back for more. Those mirrors are horrible but, they're there, what can do it? Please take this as a motivator! You…

I noticed the other day that I'm actually 5lbs away from mine!!!! That's so awesome!!!!

Hope you're loving NYC, Falisha!!! Great job to all. I didn't make my goal, but I know where I need to improve!

What a great transformation!!! Jillian is doing you good!!

Hello all, so sorry I didn't put in my numbers last week. A trip to the ER, dehydration, no exercise and the weirdest eating habits made me gain more weight last week. I'm happy to say that I'm down this week! Feels good to be back. It feels even better to see all the great results from all of you!!! Current weight…

Good afternoon to you all. I feel like I'm back on track. Yay for losing this week! Current weight (9/4/11): 181.8 Goal weight (12/22/2011): 165 No. of pounds to lose: 16.8 lbs.

Hey all, gained 3lbs this week. Not good but I know where I went wrong. Didn't make the 5,000 goal this week either - only got to 2767. I plan to do the 2233 I lacked this week. 7233 calories burned, here I come!!! Week 2: Monday - Walking - 98cal Tuesday - Eliptical, Treadmil and Walking - 661cal Wednesday - nothing!! - 0…

This was such a bad week - health, eating and exercise-wise - and my weight shows it. I plan to get back on track this week. I have no plans to go back to where I was when I started MFP. Yes, I exercised this week, but not at the intensity I'm used to due to health reasons. Yes, I was under my calories, but I've eaten crap…

I am not going to hit 5,000 this week! Feeling very sickly yesterday and today. No boot camp yesterday and I don't think I should push it today. I'll be happy if I get to 2,500 for the week. Hope you all are doing great!

Honest opinion = AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work!

I really love this - thanks for posting!!! My problem lately has been putting crap in my body. Yes, I still come under in calories, but I should be eating more fruits and veggies and less processed stuff (if it is processed, it should be 'whole.') That's my goal for the week. I also joined a challenge in which we're…

Your results are AMAZING!!!! I wouldn't want to mess with you, lady!!! :happy: Congrats to everyone. This really helped to motivate me and I hope to see you all in the next challenge. Hard to believe that we're looking ahead to Christmas! I think I'm more realistic with my goals (keeping the holiday season in mind). Best…

I completely love the C25K program (hated it when I was running, and, seriously, yes, weeks 4,5 and 6 are the hardest) but it was such an accomplishment to finish. My problem was people. I was always the last person to complete the mile in gym class - everyone would be there at the finish line waiting for me (and rolling…
