I've completely forgot about this challenge. weigh ins are Wednesdays?

So glad that you created a group- finding the thread on the boards is difficult! For the challenge: Starting Weight: 171.6lbs Week 1: 170.2lbs Week 2: Week 3: Week 4: Week 5: Week 6: Weight lost to date: 1.4lbs Focused more on getting lots of protein as it does keep me feeling full and less likely to much on empty carbs.…

Down 1.5 in week one. Focusing on eating prote in and portion control.

Late joiner here too! Looking for motivation losing the 15lbs I gained back over the past year.(and then some!) I'm a 47yr old female, 5'5" Plan: continue to use MFP to track food (but journal EVERY bite) and stay under 1500 calories, get formal exercise in 4-6 days a week, and reach my 10K step goal daily. CW: 171 GW: 149

Me too! I kill it in the exercise dept, but need extra motivation and accountability where the diet is concerned

Nope, no tricks . .

Once I read "Supersize Me", I can't and won't eat fast food. How it even qualifies as food is beyond me. Don't get me wrong, I love a good burger and some fries, but I look for or make healthier and tastier options. (My 11 year old read only the first chapter or two and hasn't eaten fast food since.)

I decided for me, it was best left up to a trainer to instruct me. I continue to workout with him after 3 years to maintain my loss/fitness level and extra motivation.

There are many ways in which to track your progress/success. For me, at the beginning before I set any definitive goals, I knew that even if I wasn't seeing any changes on the outside, I knew that working out certainly wasn't bad for me and was actually doing me good on the inside. In addition to photos, scale and…

80% of your success will come from diet, the other from exercise. You may need to adjust your calories and tweak your nutrition. I found in my own journey that diet matters most! The calories and what type of calories can make a huge difference. The scale started to cooperate when I increased my protein, and nixed simple…

My Dad dying of cancer at age 64 and Mom dying of an aneurysm 3 months later, also age 64. Not weight related but I knew I wanted to get healthy asap and not put my kids through losing parents too young.

I use the powder and almond milk, and like to add the ice for texture(more shake like) and volume 8) Good to know the regular bullet can handle ice, not to find one!

My lifestyle change happened for me in 2010. After losing my parents so young, I decided I wanted to get healthy. I joined a gym and eventually worked my way from working out over my lunch hour 3 times a week, to working over my lunch hour 5 days a week, and weekend boot camps. With the help of a personal trainer, I lost…

The cost of a membership will vary depending on what region you live in, and different gyms charge different rates. I know that Planet Fitness is supposed to be a cheaper rate, but hear that they don't offer classes or personal trainers. The decision really depends on you getting your money's worth out of your gym…

(Day 12, 13, 14, 15) total 12.07 miles followed road Woody End of River. Stop Eat and Rest. Back on the road. BLACK RIDER! Sam and Pippin hide in hollow and Frodo behind tree. Threw rock. Take lane through a wood of Ancient Oaks. Creep inside huge tree. Eat and Rest. 420.38 miles to go Finally got around to posting past…

Day 10 and 11 (7/23 and 7/24) (STILL) Continuing on the road after leaving camp . . . . (25 minutes treadmill program,= 1.3 miles and 20 min run outside 1.7 miles) 432.45 miles to go

Day 9. (STILL) Continuing on the road after leaving camp . . . . (20 minutes AMT,= 1.7 miles) 435.45 miles to go

Day 8. Continuing on the road after leaving camp . . . . (25 minutes treadmill hill climb,= 1.25 miles) 437.15 miles to go

Day 7. (Day 18 for the Hobbits, they have quite the headstart on me!) Finished climbing the slope, made camp in a firwood, sleeping by a large tree. Ate and set out again @ 10am. (53 minutes treadmill intervals, plus stepmill intervals = 3.19 miles) 438.4 miles to go

Day 6 (7/15/13) Walked through a deep track between tall tress and halfway up a steep slope. (20 minutes stair treadmill = 2.0 miles) 441.6 miles to go

Day 5. Reached Stock Road (25 minutes treadmill intervals = 1.7 miles) 443.6 miles to go

Day 4. Stopped at birch grove for frugal supper. About halfway to Stock Road. (45 minutes stairtreadmill = 3.74 miles) 445.3 miles to go

Day 3. Looking back at Hobbiton from slopes of Green Hill country, hard to see from slopes rising and falling. (45 minutes on stair treadmill 63-65 spr, plus 15 pullups) = 3.7 miles 449 Miles to go

This is my opinion from my own personal experience and based on the fact you find at trainer that fits your personality (some folks need a more aggressive trainer[think Jillian Michaels] while others fare better with a more someone who is still motivating, but not so "mean".) I worked out in the gym for almost a year on my…

In the gym I listen to a mix, but usually one genre at a time. When running outside(or on treadmill) I crank Foo Fighters- the beat(s) help me keep my pace perfectly!

Day 2. Crossed The Water and plankbridge AND Crossed The Great Road from Brandywine Bridge, entered Tookland. (40 minutes on stair treadmill at 60 steps per minute) = 3.19 miles 453 miles to go!

Day 1. Journey begins Over the hedge, through the gate, down the lane and following hedgerows South (walk to and from gym, 40 minute 1.7mile incline walk on treadmill) = 2 miles 456 miles to go!

Salutations Fellow LOTRO fans! I'm Jen, 44 from Maryland. Married 25 yrs and blessed with 2 awesome girls ages 12 and 17. Lost most of my weight in 2010, but struggling the past few months to lose the 8 I've gained back, and am always looking for motivation and challenges to get me through. I typically workout at the gym…

Whichever one you are more likely to do is the one to go with. In my opinion, cardio can be done just as easily at home or the gym, but strength training may be easier done at a gym just for the sheer amount of variety in equipment. Working out is vital for weightloss, but without proper calorie management you may not…

What made (me) fat : being lazy and not paying attention to how much food I was putting in my mouth, and lack of exercise How . .over come it : made a commitment to go to the gym 3 days a week over my lunch hour. After a few weeks, I figured, what's another 2 days. And although I didn't see any results(because I didn't…
