I was able to meet all of my goals yesterday and actually exceeded my water intake goal. Today is day 2 for jogging 2.5 miles. Felt good after doing it Sunday so looking forward to doing it again. Goals for Day 36 - Drink 80-90 oz of water - Stay under calorie goal - Jog 2.5 miles without stopping

I agree. There are many reasons why a person is losing weight and they are not all necessarily positive or done with intent. A person could be ill, suffering from depression, having financial problems (and thus can't afford much food), in an abusive relationship, etc. So if the tone of the inquiry is genuine concern, try…

Other than the strength training on Fri/Sat, I was able to meet all of my goals the last few days. Yesterday I had a goal of increasing my jogging length from 2 miles to 2.5 miles. I was able to accomplish that and I felt really good about it. So I'm going to stay at 2.5 miles for my jogging now. Goals for Day 35 - Drink…

Same here. Been on it for about 10 years and definitely love it.

And I'm looking forward to reading it. :) You have the right mindset and that is half the battle right there. Just remember there will be many bumps in the road but keep on keeping on and you will be posting that success story. You got this!

Diet Dr Pepper But if I want a pepsi or coke, then Pepsi Max or Coke Zero

With any relationship you need to understand what each of you want out of it. You said she added you because you seemed inspirational. So if you haven't already, find out from her what about you was inspirational to her? Was it your forum posts, food choices, exercise routines, consistency, etc? Then ask her if she wants…

I met all my goals for yesterday and went above goal for my water intake. Haven't done that in a while. Goals for Day 32 - Drink 80-90 oz of water - Stay under calorie goal - Strength training and light cardio (walking) The strength training and light cardio might get split between today and tomorrow. I try to have one day…

I got the "sign in request" but was still able to update the spreadsheet without having to sign in.

I wasn't able to get the light cardio in yesterday but met all other goals. Today I'm going for a 2 mile job this evening. If I jog the entire time like I have been the last couple of weeks, I will up the length to 2.5 miles on Sunday (already have that route mapped out so I better make it happen this evening :) ) Goals…

I did well yesterday and met all of my goals. I also jogged the entire two miles again without stopping. Since I've been consistently doing that for the last couple of weeks, I will probably up my distance to 2.5 miles starting Sunday. Goals for Day 30 - Drink 80-90 oz of water - Stay under calorie goal - Strength training…

Ok, haven't checked in since Saturday so need to get back on track. Staying under calorie goal has not always been successful the last couple of days. So need to tighten the reins on that today. I did prep some food and lunches for this week on Sunday which will help a lot. I have been meeting my exercise goals and on…

About a week ago, I tried on two pairs of jeans that I bought the last time I lost weight about 7-8 years ago. Not only did they fit nicely but there was only a hint of a muffin top. Definitely put a smile on my face.

Didn't do too bad yesterday considering we went to the fair. I did indulge a bit on the fried food (mainly just some bites of what my daughter ordered) but ordered myself a greek salad. I know a fair's version is probably not as healthy as it should be, but it looked more appealing then the other options. I did walk about…

I was able to meet all of my goals yesterday. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to jog the entire two miles when I started out. But I ended up doing it and was happy about that. Goals for Day 25 - Drink 80-90 oz of water - Stay under calorie goal - Strength training and light cardio (walking) Staying under calorie…

Well, my a-ha moment (this time) was just being tired of trying to squeeze into my clothes. I rarely bought new clothes so in my mind up (until that point) was if I can still fit into them (albeit with muffin tops in multiple places) then the weight must not be that bad. Of course having clothes that stretch definitely…

Yeah, but it was a great song and video back then.

I was almost able to meet all of my goals yesterday - did the strength training this morning instead of last night. Although this was not a goal, I was able to go to bed by 10:30 pm which is an improvement from the midnight bedtime I've been doing the last several weeks. Goals for Day 24 - Drink 80-90 oz of water - Stay…

Definitely agree. Reflecting on my past eating habits it was because I was eating too much of a given snack (as well as multiple snacks) that led to my weight gain. It also helps when packing lunches or grabbing a few bags to eat while out running errands. Also, I write the weight of the snack on the bag with a sharpie…

Woohoo!!

I bought one at Walmart (Mainstays Slimline Digital Scale). It costs about $15 and as the name mentions it is very slender so it doesn't take up a lot of space.

I was able to meet all of my goals yesterday. The cooler weather will definitely be a challenge, but I will commit to keeping up with outdoor cardio (running/jogging) through it - even if I have to bundle up and just walk instead of jog. Goals for Day 23 - Drink 80-90 oz of water - Stay under calorie goal - Strength…

Didn't quite hit all the goals for day 21 but will work on meeting them today. Goals for Day 22 - Drink 80-90 oz of water - Stay under calorie goal - Jog two miles without stopping Let's keep it up!

I wouldn't see it as being a pushover. You had a victory by not drinking it when in the past you would have drank it (your post said you "hate wasting food"). So this is a step in the right direction. Keep up the baby steps and before long you'll be able to say "no" and hold to it. :)

Goals for Day 21 - Drink 80-90 oz of water - Stay under calorie goal - Strength training and light cardio (walking) Glad to see so many people keeping up with the challenge!

Didn't reach water and exercise goal yesterday, but was able to stay under calorie goal. Goals for Day 19 - Drink 80-90 oz of water - Stay under calorie goal - Strength training (since didn't do it yesterday) and light cardio (walking about 3.5 miles) Looking forward to the second milestone weigh-in tomorrow.

I was able to hit all my goals yesterday. Particularly happy about jogging the entire 2 miles again (two times in a row now). Goals for Day 18 - Drink 80-90 oz of water - Stay under calorie goal - Strength training The weekend will be a challenge to stay within goals (typically is for me). But I will put it in a strong…

I use plain greek yogurt and don't have an issue with the consistency although I do mix it with mashed avocados to create the salad base. The yogurt itself reminds of sour cream in both consistency and taste. Why don't you buy a single serve plain greek yogurt and give it a try. You can typically find it for a $1 or…

Didn't quite hit the water and calorie goal yesterday, but today is a new day. Goals for Day 17 - Drink 80-90 oz of water - Stay under calorie goal - 2 mile run (run for the entire 2 miles again) Keep it going!!

Well I haven't posted since last Friday, so need to get back in the grove. Yesterday I had a victory with my fitness goal - I was able to jog the entire 2 miles without stopping with a pace of just over 10 min mile. So I was pretty pumped about that. Goals for Day 16 - Drink 80-90 oz of water - Stay under calorie goal…
