Don't scale back your workouts! If it is something you are very passionate about and you scale back for your husband, you might start to resent him for it. Do you have any close friends that would like to talk about workouts?

Ill join!

Because I am trying to lose weight for my birthday (not happening at this point) and a big vacation in Sept and I need encouragement and a little healthy competition to get me there!

May 12 - 1 large + bonus Already walked 5 miles today, so yay got that! Also, suprised to my mom with a drop in visit and flowers for her and my grandma so bonus! May 11 - nothing ( I drop the ball on the weekends) May 10 - No healthy meal, but got the 2 miles run in for an extra large. May 9 - nada. Can't do lunges with…

Did 100 situps but didn't stay under calories :(

Did the rows yesterday!

Yay, good deed finished for today. My friend was broken up with recently so I spent about an hour today talking it through with him. Yesterday did 6 miles so got the bonus. Any others i posted in the specific days' challenge thread.

Got the bonus yesterday, but not the pushups. 6 miles!

Self introduction I like to exercise when it is doing "activities" but hate going to the gym or being on a treadmill etc. so I struggle during winters here in MN since most activities are outside. I am hoping that in May I can do a lot better (even though it is snowing today, May 1) and I have my golden birthday on May…

Can I still join?

I would like to be involved! Is it too late?

I am similar...I think the obsessive calorie counting leads me to make unhealthy food choices. If a banana is 100 calories, but a bag of chips is 50 (just making this up) - I will choose the chips to try to be under my calories, even though the banana is the way healthier option.

I love it with garlic salt and nutritional yeast!

I have no problem staying under 1200 if it is just food. I actually feel full most of the time. The times I go over are when I go out on weekends and have drinks. I know people say stop drinking and lose weight, but that isn't realistic. It is like a low carb diet. I would lose a ton of weight quick, but since it is not a…

Thanks, sadly I do not eat much meat or dairy so gas station would be all processed junk!

I guess I wasn't looking for advise on how to lose weight or stay under my calories. It was more along the lines of being something to think about as far as foods that are healthy vs. foods that are low cal and what is more important. I know I can go over and eat less the next day or something, but if I go over eating…

Buy bulk. Bulk bags of dried beans instead of cans, bulk rice, bulk grains, bulk popcorn, whatever it is and it is cheaper. I buy bags of beans for $1 and it makes an entire crock pot full of food. I will make black beans for burritos, just adding some onion and seasonings. Making your own tortillas and stuff saves money…

I add very finely shredded carrot to almost everything. You cant even tell it is in there!

I have a group for this starting 1/2/2013 since some of us are lazy the day after new years. If anyone can't start the 1st feel free to join us on the second. Search in the groups area for 30 Day Shred 1/2/13.

New to this challenge - my goal is 100 miles.

I'm interested, also like the idea of Jan 13th. It takes some time to get back in to routine after the holidays and that will give us a chance!

Has anyone ever tried beans? http://apreparedhome.com/ready-or-not/substitute-beans-for-oil/

Yay sounds like everyone is excited! I will start a group this weekend when I have some time and invite everyone on here who said they wanted to join. Then I will send something out closer to the date to start as a reminder! I am going to measure myself beforehand. I heard some people lose weight, but some lose inches so I…

BUMP

Yay! I am excited!
