Week 1 Start Weight: 196.4 Challenge Goal Weight: 175 Weigh-in #1: 194.2 A positive thought I had this week was: Even though I don't always make the best choices, I am still making positive progress. A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Green apple with peanut butter My most effective workout this week was: Running…

I use OTBeat and the OT heart monitor (from my old Orange Theory membership) to track calories burned during exercise. Nike run or C25K for keeping motivated during runs and Beach Body on Demand app for inside workouts (this way I can use my ipad to work out and leave the tv for the hubby/kiddo)

I'm in! Restarted my journey on 1/2, so far, so good. I consider it a win as long as my snack fits in my calorie budget. I am a snacker in general and cutting it out completely leads to binge snacking so I try and plan for it. Me - 2* LNS - 0

Stealing this! I am totally guilty of emotional eating, mindless snacking and just giving in to cravings. Thank you.

Message sent to join. Looking forward to challenges!

Sending you a request. I need accountability friends as well. I struggle with PCOS and finding the energy and motivation to stick to healthy habits. 36 years old, 5'4" 196lbs, goal of 160lbs (trying to be realistic as my body has changed since having a baby and I want to enjoy having curves. Just not so many of them!)

I am currently pregnant and obese. I spoke with my OB and I am eating 1800-2000 calories per day and he is very comfortable with this. I do try and exercise some and when I do I make sure my net calories are still above 1500, so I may eat more on those days. I have lost 6 pounds but my doctor is not concerned. It is fairly…

I am also currently pregnant and have PCOS, so I am at a higher risk for gestational diabetes. (It doesn't help that my BMI is in the obese range still.) I am very concerned about gaining too much weight and putting my baby at risk. The research I did (on sites like the Mayo Clinic) suggested only gaining 10-15 pounds.…

My favorite morning snack has been 1/2 cup frozen raspberries, 1/2 cup non fat Chobani vanilla greek yogurt and 1/8 cup almonds (measure then chop them) I put it all together the night before or when I get up and by the time I go to eat it the raspberries have thawed so I just mix it all together and yummy! About 200…

Let's hope I can stick to this!!! Weekly Goal: 3500 Mon: 394 (30 day shred, elliptical) Tues: Wed: Thur: Fri: ) Sat: Sun: Total: 394 Left to go: 3106

Here goes! Need to get back into working out as I have gained back most of the weight I lost last year. :-( Week # 1 -- December 31 -- Goal 180 minutes: Mon: 30 min (5 min warm up, 20 min of burpees/sprint intervals, 5 min cool down) Tue: Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total: 30 / 180 Min left: 150 / 180

Get my third tattoo.

That is wonderful! I am getting ready to start the program tomorrow and I'm looking for something to help keep the weight off. I have PCOS so I have insulin issues and last year I lost 50 pounds just through diet and exercise but 30 of it has come back and I can't seem to get it to go away! From the research I've been…

This! As long as I give my body 30-60 minutes to just relax after exercising before bed, I fall asleep quickly and sleep like the dead. Plus I find I don't like to get up early enough to exercise in the morning, I just keep hitting snooze. :yawn:

YUM!!!

You are not the only one!!! This is why I end up not logging for long periods of time. But I think I've finally kicked myself in the rear and am forcing myself to log no matter what. If it makes you feel better set your diary to private so you know only you will see it. Yesterday I did great until about 2pm then I caved…

I've regained about 25 pounds since falling off the wagon last December. So my goal is to get back to my November 2011 weight by the end of the summer (156 by 8/31). I got a fitbit a few days ago and am already in looooovvvvveeee! My first step is holding myself accountable for what I eat and drink so I am trying to log…

You can add me, I just got my Fitbit so this is only my second day using it and I already love it! http://www.fitbit.com/user/22WPHX

I did one last November, it was tough but definitly doable. Not sure if it is harder than a marathon since I've never run a marathon. I think it just depends on your "strengths" if you're a runner a marathon is probably easier, if you tend to do better with strength training the tough mudder is probably your best bet. The…

So I'll do these either before or after my run tonight. :-)

I like celery with the light laughing cow cheese wedges, yummy and filling! I also like the refridgerated pickles (but might be too high in sodium.) I'm interested to see what others post as I could also use some new ideas.

I would also think it would be the opposite as being in better shape means better blood flow and better blood flow means... :love:

I started last night and was ravenous about 45min after finishing!

So I started yesterday so I could have my last day be 2/29. This was suggested by another poster. Nice and sore this morning but on track so far. We'll see how this evening goes. :)

I'm in, now to stick with it...
