Thank you all for the good ideas to stay on track! Yesterday was a great day for me. My midterms are about to start and in dental school that means no sleep and no time to work out. However, I have learned that if I do a slowish walk on the treadmill I can read at the same time. So while I may not be doing as much as my…

9/15 wasn't my best day. I didn't have time to make a lunch (which I normally do every day) and it was left over night for dinner so it was kind of a hodge podge of randomness and higher in carbs overall than I normally like to do in the evening. (Today is going better so far) Overall, feeling a little discouraged in…

Thanks! I am going to go to the gym today and see how it goes. I am in a very similar position as you when it comes to your support system. My fiance owns an Italian pizzeria and everything is delicious. To help me out with cooking and life he offers to bring food home a lot (I am usually gone from the house from 6:30am…

Hey everybody! I have been sick the last few days so I have not accomplished a whole lot in the gym area but I tried to eat well when I was hungry. Today is the first day that I am feeling better. I am glad that everyone is doing well!

Great job!! 9/9 went great for me as well! I logged food really well and I did my strength/endurance training workout while upping all of my weights (except my bicep curls - I have such a hard time upping those). Tomorrow morning is my weigh day so hopefully it goes well! Welcome to our awesome group!

Hey! I am 24 and I weigh 172... I would ideally like to be 135. I am getting married this upcoming March, so that is my goal. I work out 5 to 6 days a week and do my best with food (dinner is always the most challenging for me). Good luck ladies!!!

Dinner is always my hardest!! If I plan it out then I will be fine. But last night my finance brought home delicious Mexican food.... So yesterday wasn't my best day. We will both do better today!

I have not tried any of the skinny girl stuff. We are going to a sports bar but they have a bunch of options for drinks. Does anyone have a good app for quick looking at the calories in beverages?

Don't be embarrassed. We all have days like that. Today is a new day and you can do it :) Weekends are always the hardest days for me

Yesterday went great for me! Went to the gym and took the dogs for a long walk. However, today is going to be challenging. It is football Sunday and then this evening there is a concert festival that we are going to. Food is not as challenging for me as alcohol (and if I drink any alcohol I instantly stop losing weight....…

Great job on the work out! Try not to worry about the scale, it will move :) I know it is hard not to dwell on it. Today was my first day back at the gym in a few days and it felt great. I weigh myself on Thursday's only so hopefully next week will bring me some good news. Keep up the good work everyone!

9/4 was great for me on food. It was such a nice day outside that I decided to take the dogs on a walk to the dog park so I didn't have time for the gym but I still achieved my 10,000 steps per day challenge so I was happy about that! Great job everybody :)

Hey!! I have been a little MIA the last couple of days because of my bachelorette party (which was a blast, but it is very hard to stay healthy on a weekend like that). But I am back on track now and ready to start losing some weight!! I am in a lunch and learn right now where Noodles and Company catered and I am sticking…

I have been having the same problem! We can do this! I have been running and doing strength training with no real number results. I am just telling myself that this isn't about the numbers it is about the fact that I am being healthy. For the first month I figured out that I was not actually eating enough calories (and…

Hey! I am a dental student and I am getting married in March. In general I am just trying to be healthier but I do want to tone and lose some weight for the big day. I have been participating in MFP for a while and working out daily and I haven't seen a huge change in my numbers but I am staying motivated. SW: 175 CW: 170…
