For me, it's not wiping down the equipment when you've really been sweating up a storm--just gross!

This week's challenges were....challenging! I don't have a good set up for the exercise video, so I couldn't really do that, and having 5 different servings of fruits/veggies was tricky, until I discovered--smoothies! Yup, different veggies, different fruits--it helps!

Dried fruit oatmeal packets Trader Joe's Just a handful of Omega-3 trek mix 100 calorie almond packs Splenda

Doing well- and I agree, water is no issue for me--I'm practically a fish!!! Lots of exercise planned this week, so hoping for good things on the scale this weekend (my WI is on Saturdays) Looking forward to what's coming next! Good luck to all!

If all the challenges were as easy for me as this water one, I'm going to ace this challenge! I pretty much only drink water--all day, especially when exercising, so this is an easy one. Wonder what's coming next...??

Hi all, Excited for this challenge! I am getting all my water in, but this is easy for me! I did not exercise yesterday, but did a great workout today---1 hr cardio and 20 minutes strength training! Tomorrow, I meet with my trainer (first real session) so it should be another great exercise day with lots of water! Best to…

1. Curse the alarm clock after many snoozes 2. Pee 3. Shower or wash up if late shower night before

Thank you for sharing--that was really inspiring, and I love that you are just having a great attitude--keep it up!

Cool-thanks!

Sorry--forgot which link I copy to post the pic??? OK, On the left is from last July 2011 (passport photo) weighing in about 385. On the right July 2012 on my birthday! Current weight is 278--weight then probably 10 pounds heavier than right now!

Aerobics, elliptical, biking, swimming/water aerobics, pilates

Thanks for starting this, and for starting with an easy one (for me, who drinks buckets of water!)

Let's see--I've been on this journey for 7 months now, so the weight loss is slowing down a little... SW (8/27): 278 GW: (12/31): 250 Ambitious, but I've been at a nice pace.

All Hail Trader Joe's! My faves: Eggplant hummous Eggwhite salad Just penne pasta Organic multi-grain hot cereal (freezer section) Organic foursome (mixed veggies) 100 Calorie dark chocolate bars Tzatiki Reduced fat Chinese Chicken Salad Whole Wheat couscous Polenta Light Jarlsberg (much cheaper than the grocery store)…

Yes, I love a good challenge, and I will be cruising the carribbean in December, so extra incentive to keep on the right path!

Although I now live in Seattle, I'm a New Yorker through and through, which means pizza and bagels are my downfalls! Nothing like a NY pizza or bagel---(salivating just thinking about them). For Seattle-it's all about the Salmon!

Seattle area is my current home and I love it! I would live here in the summer and either Phoenix, Vegas or San Diego in the winter!

This post brought a smile to my face--thanks for reminding us of our humanity within this weight loss journey! Enjoy those chocolates, but if you could spare one dark piece--fed ex to Seattle!!

Nothing! When I limit myself, it feels like a diet. I just allow one "splurge" meal a week, and everything else in moderation with lots of exercise!

I saw a photo of myself and I was shocked! I had problems with mirrors all my life, so I don't think I really ever saw myself, and it scared me! I already had the MFP app, but wasn't using it, and on January 23, I took stock of my life and decided that I did want to live (was suffering from major depression). Every day,…

I work for a non-profit Head Start agency (providing education and social services to low-income children and families) and my role consists of managing the enrollment process, determining eligibility, supporting our family service workers, volunteer management and data base managements! Most of us in the Head Start world…

I sort of let myself indulge one meal a week, but that's because I actually struggle to get enough calories in, with the amount of exercise I am doing (weird, I know). It has worked well for me. I don't cheat just because--but if there is something I'm really craving, that's my allowance. This past Saturday became a two…

I have PF in my right foot, and it was awful until I started losing weight. But then again, I also started taking glucosamine for my right knee, so maybe that's doing something? It used to be so bad that just getting up out of bed in the morning was so painful--I was also not consistent with doing my recommended stretches…

1. Chicken--different varieties 2.Broccoli 3. Coffee--usually iced

Bpayton--31?

I have a bad knee, too, and the aerobics is much harder on it. Do the elliptical, or better yet, swim!

You can add me, I'm 41 and logging in every day!

Hate to say it, but "Fifty shades Darker". Really not good writing, so why am I reading this?? About to start the first Game of Thrones--squeal!~

You can add me--I log on every day, and try to post as often as possible! Cheers! Abby

You can add me too! I'm Abby from Seattle, and I've been an avid user since 1/23/12. Cheers!
