I love the idea of putting exercise in the goals for March! 50 Miles sounds great. I will have to incorporate with minutes like we did in our fitness challenge last time. Good attitude on the moving. I have moved several times and it never really gets easy. One good way to really clean things out though! Kind of hard to do…

I have not been so great about logging either. It takes me so long sometime especially when my phone won't sync up with MFP Been getting server errors, I have logged all weekend and most of last week. I was thinking if I can loose and not log then I can give myself a break but it is good for me to log periodically to…

Not sure if there is a new group started for this or if we are continuing this one? Feeling a bit lost! lol

I need to kick this in gear too. After my mouth heals I plan to get in a more regular exercise plan! My nephew is getting married in June and I need to find a dress to wear!

Seems like this challenge really fast can't believe it is almost the end of Feb! Summer will be here before we know it! Hope to see all of you in the next challenge! My goals for this week are drinking more water and staying under my calorie count!

I had an IUD once and really did not work out for me at all. Hope your body adjusts to it soon and bloating and cravi.ngs stop. I can really relate to the weather. It can def be a drag especially if the sun is not shining! I have been checking out the seed catalogs and planning my garden. Trying to find something to look…

I have always been a big fan of Chamomile and the Honey Vanilla is amazing! Thanks for the great recommendation Julia!

Big Congrats to our very own julia with 522 fitness minutes of exercise to be crowned round 5 winner! Absolutely amazing!

That was always the only time I would crave chocolate and seems like I could eat every thing in the house and still not get satisfied until I had some chocolate. Someone told me it was because I was really needing magnesium that is found in chocolate. Not sure if all that is true. I Bought some raisins and blueberries to…

Thanks for all the planning! Very happy to be in these challenges! Love the awesome spreadsheet! Appreciate all the work!

Was checking out the exercise log! WOW! Lots of Minutes being added. If anyone needs a link here it is for round 5. Feeling like a bit of a slacker on our team! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11PYF5Hxt7-djBO-aNAm63ZYZdDO0kVDEZf_78aGTZQ0/edit#gid=0

Hope everyone's week is going well. Will try to get some exercise in! Been better week for eating healthy! Made up a batch of steel cut oats and it does seem to help keep me satisfied! Still not getting in enough water. Find it hard to drink when it is cold outside. Will try some hot tea.. guess that counts. Sure learned…

Thanks dillyg08! I def had setbacks this week and Valentines day did not help! Looking forward to getting some exercise minutes on the spread sheet! and NO JUNK FOOD this week!!! (No Sprite Zero either!)

How do you figure the percent weight loss? Percent of total loss of percent of goal loss?

Since March 1 is on a sunday and May 31 is on a sunday I think it would be nice to have a weigh in every week on Sunday for the new challenge. Are we going to do the teams again?

I was down 2.2 but sounds better that actual.. because I was up 1.3 last weigh in! I have seen you both logging a lot of minutes on the exercise sheet so I would think you are gaining muscle! I took Julia's idea about team totals on the exercise sheet and added a team total from the beginning of the challenge and our team…

Thanks Julia and Beverly! I had to double take this. It was for round 2! I was thinking round 3 too where I actually gained a little... but back on track for a good weigh in for round 4! lets get our group on the top 3!

How did your week go? May also try eating slower ... that has helped me with smaller portions because I tend to eat fast!

I need to put this weight loss in gear!!! They had their bathing suits out at Kohls already and I actually tried a few on... how disappointing!!! My nephew is getting married in June and would be nice to not be dreading family pics and seeing everyone again! So here are my goals for the week! amp up the exercise! You are…

Very good information! So easy to mindlessly pop cookies or cheese into your mouth without even thinking of the consequences!

Game plan for me is to Drink More water. And try to eat healthier. I do feel fuller when I do seems like the more junk I eat the more I want. Last week I had icecream for dinner.. ugh! and I am usually not even a sweet tooth! And it is winter so not sure why icecream! 1) Exercise at least 3 days this week. 2) Stay under…

Awesome!!! Congrats!

New Month great time for renewed commitment! I think if you didn't gain 7lbs in December you are better off than most ppl. Lets do this together. Make some BIG changes for February!! No Stopping now I agree!

Great goals! I tend to get my sugar from potato chips.. my Kryptonite!

Congrats Julia and Beverley on Round 3 of the Fitness Challenge! Very impressive Ladies!!!

Would love to see everyones goals for the week. Here are mine: 1) Plan meals so I don't get caught hungry and grabbing something I regret 2) Exercise and add it to group spread sheet! Go MFP Calorie counting Group! 3) Drink more water this week. I tend to forget to drink enough water!

Weekends have always been my biggest challenge also. I changed my weigh in day to Sat from thurs to help me be more aware of my weekends. Hopefully this will help!

Congrats dillyg08 on the awesome loss and keeping our team in the top 3 loosers of the week ! WTG!!! I saw you are doing awesome on the exercise log too!

Thanks Julia for keeping up the motivation this last week! Hope you had an awesome Birthday!
