Hi everyone ~ I'm Lisa, I turned 45 back in July, and I currently weigh 236.0 pounds ... it's that last part that I have the problem with! ;) I work full-time and go to school full-time, both involve LOTS of time at a desk. I'm in for the challenge, and because of my crazy schedule, I'll be breaking my exercise rounds in…

Agreed! :)

I use the number MFP produced for me (1350 calories) as a base, then add/subtract as needed for exercise. However, I am almost ALWAYS over on my calories (with or without exercise), so in the end I'm eating somewhere between a 1500-1700 calorie day. I did the WW plan for a little over a year, and found that no matter what…

I had that EXACT same reaction last Friday when I had a Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla Coolatta as a treat. I knew that it wasn't considering healthy (not by a long stretch), but 600+ calories ... OMIGOD, it's a drink, how is that even possible!!!!

I'm game! Add me :)

June 11th: 1.5 miles Total miles: 9.6 miles Totally NOT fair that I was scared clear off my treadmill by the fire alarm blaring in my ear ... I should get bonus points for torture! LOL

Whether it was the weekend or yesterday, you still did the exercise ... my "WAY TO GO" stands!! (lol) And thanks for offering help with the 5K races, I appreciate it! My first goal is to establish a steady finish time, since my finish times have been all over the map these last 3 seasons. Then once I get a sense of where…

June 10th: 1.5 miles Total miles: 8.1 miles Still working to fit everything in ... :)

Hi everybody ... I've got about 85 pounds more to lose, so feel free to add me! :)

June 9th - 1.5 miles

A 2-mile run, a 1-mile jog, a strength class, a kickboxing class, and a 1 mile walk ... was there more than 2 days in this past weekend?!?! WAY TO GO Lisa!!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile: And yes, I actually have two races scheduled in July, one in August, and one in September ... (so far). I think you can officially call me…

Hi everyone! I did the Pup Run 5K on Saturday, and thankfully we didn't have the 100+ temps with high humidity that we had last year ... THAT was truly grueling! And while I missed the goal that I was shooting for (52 minutes), my friend pointed out to me that I'm only 21 seconds shy of my time from June 2012 (00:59:39)…

Thanks Lisa for the encouragement!! :smile: I'm a little nervous for this 5K's finish time, as I haven't been training for it (been doing massive amounts of gardening work instead), but I have a good friend going wtih me, and she won't let me slack one bit. (lol) Going along with your protein idea ... I'm thinking maybe a…

I weight in Saturday mornings, but am happy to post that number for Tuesday as well.

"I am more stubborn than my fat!" I'm heading to my second 5K race this Saturday -- new finish line time goal is 52 minutes, down from 53:15 minutes at my last one on May 4th -- and afterwards we usually go have some ooey-gooey lunch (Olive Garden, T-Bones, etc.). I've been working to get myself back together this week…

Hi everyone! It's been almost 2 years since I was on MFP last (did WW for the last 15 months), and I'm really excited to see that this group is still active, as this group was one of the first challenges I ever did on my weight loss journey (still have the iPod reward from that first challenge!). I was looking through all…

Hi there! I am at 230.4 pounds (5'4") as of Saturday morning. I'm currently down 39.6 pounds from my highest weight of 270.0 pounds. My next goal is an even 40.0 pounds by June 14th. I've been doing a stair challenge for the last 3 weeks, and I'm starting to notice that the flights are getting a little bit easier. I've…
