I just pulled mine out to check and I guess Iowa doesn't have weight on there anymore. GOOD!

Not an incredible amount! I work at a hotel and use their fitness center everyday after work. Mainly just walking/jogging. hahaha a little misleading eh?

When this group started, one of my goals was to work up to jogging. During the last month I kind of decided that I didnt want to do that and speed walking was just going to be my thing. After I found out a coworker had made a rude comment about running to another coworker who joined MFP after seeing my progress, I decided…

I'm still around! Small NSV yesterday. I was getting discouraged because even though I've lost so much weight and feel thinner in places, I've still been wearing the same pants with no difference. Well yesterday at Lollapalooza we were going back and forth from the two big stages which are what I'm guessing about a mile…

i always lose weight then... after looking around on the forums I see that's the opposite of common.

Thanks!!! My consistent workout is 45 treadmill minutes every day with varying incline and recently this week 30 Day Shred! I also work at a hotel so I am on my feet going back and forth from the front desk to the laundry room my entire shift plus folding all the hotel laundry (which really works up a sweat sometimes!)

Start weight: 217 July goal wt: 210 July 1: 217 (+/- 0) July 8: 217 (+/- 0) July 15: 215 (- 2) July 22: 213 (- 2) July 29: 211 (- 2) One pound away from my july goal but I guess theres still a couple more days!

Feel free to add me. I'm also 26 and have about 50 lbs more to lose. I started in April :)

I don't really have anything like that but I did start Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred this week so I feel like that's stepping up my game!

Taylor Hanson named his son River Samuel. I love it :)

I'm not too far in but continue to do my 30-45 minutes on the treadmill daily

Oooo some other Iowans on here! That's an amazing success story! How nice to get some positive publicity as a huge pat on the back!

Start weight: 217 July goal wt: 210 July 1: 217 (+/- 0) July 8: 217 (+/- 0) July 15: 215 (- 2) July 22: 213 (- 2) July 29: TBA :)

I haven't been very vocal in this group but I've been reading and keeping up! I've had a lot of paper work to do for my upcoming schooling so my mind has been elsewhere. However, I've been trying to keep up with the challenges and so far it seems to be working! I'm actually excited for a weigh in for once! :)

looks like your goal and mine are about the same! I'm almost three months in and 26 pounds down so far :)

1. increased my intensity today :D 3. just bought my mom a wii (she wanted it haha) which should arrive tomorrow. Just Dance 2 and Zumba for wii acquired. sounds fun to me!

Got back with it this week, increased my exercise, spent more time outside, COOKED dinner several times. Was a pretty good week in my opinion. Down 2 pounds! Start weight: 217 July goal wt: 210 July 1: 217 July 8: 217 (+/-0) July 15: 215 (-2) yay! July 22: TBA (+/- previous week) July 29: TBA (+/- previous week)

Do you know which ones they were?

Thanks but I've already been fitted for quite a few shoes that feel great, just wanted some opinion on brands and styles that hold up through actual use.

I've gotten MUCH better about getting a couple days of fruits and meals and keeping them in the fridge at work but it can get really difficult!

I sometimes FEEL like I'm living in a dorm. I work late at night at dont have a kitchen I can really use so I have to pick things up daily from the grocery store. It makes it really interesting to eat healthy and avoid stopping at fast food like I used to on my way to work

Really inspiring! that was about my start weight and I've only begun my journey! You look great!

Sadly I am exactly the same this week. I havent been myself though so staying exactly the same is a good thing in the long run. Felt better the last few days and have been pushing through!

When I get over 500 its the days that I'm using a really steep incline with my usual pace

When your boss at work says she needs to get you some smaller shirts :)

It's been a hard week for me not feeling myself but today I felt GREAT so I'm hoping tomorrow reflects that :D

I used to listen to music while I worked out! I ended up picking songs that I had really bonded with when I was a bit younger (music has been my life so I get really emotionally attached haha) so that I can lose myself in the workout. Now I work out in the fitness room at my work which has the nice little tv's on them. I…

That's a LOT to keep up with! Props for taking any time to be dedicated! I'm 5'8" and apparently carry my weight well since anyone I've told that my goal is to lose 80 responds with "lose that much from WHERE?" and then guess I'm about 180. My heaviest was in 2004 at 280, lost 90 pounds then gained up to 250 when I moved…

Didnt OVER eat this weekend but didnt eat the best things. Goal? Get back to routine today - Done! Already back on track after realizing i dont like foods I used to anymore

haha me too because I feel too heavy for this group!!
