HI Ladies- I am losing slowly but surely. Congrats to everyone on their progress :)

Congrats on getting out of the 180's CW. I am managing to still ride the bike. However, my puppy insists I hold her during it or she tries to bite the wheels and gets hit in the head. She is 5 lbs I wonder if I burn more calories holding her????

Thank you

Well we did it we adopted a 7 week old labeagle from the shelter. The cat does not bother her. I think he is still trying to figure out what she is LOL. She is already 90 % potty trained and responds to come. Her picture is on my avitar.

Welcome Matty's momma.

Hi all - Sorry I have been MIA we just adopted a puppy and I have not had much time to go online. I am still riding the bike 30-60 minutes 6 days a week. I am still at 9 lbs lost also. I fudged up this weekend ... the day we picked up the puppy we ate out both meals and Sunday we had a surprise party for a friend and ate…

I got min off of phone zoo.

Congrats ... slow but steady is best :)

cwilson- I think even if you don't make your goals you will be a lot closer to them :)

Dedelen- Congrats on your 25 pounds. I have hand weights I use but I'm not sure what to do for my legs. Orange- Welcome aboard ! I cant wait to see the 160's either :) Off to ride the bike for 40 min I swam this morning too!

Hi Ladies- Today was my official 1 week weigh in for this challenge. I lost between 1.2 and 1.4 lbs this week. That gets me to the 10 lbs lost mark. Last night I went out and bought my reward sun glasses. I can't wait to hit 169 now! Hoping for next week :) How is everyone else doing? Love and light

If you are comfortable not logging that is fine. I would think you get to the point where you know calorie counts of food. Just be careful.

Hi hanah- Welcome aboard. I would try to bring something healthy like a hungry girl sandwich with you so you are not tempted to eat the high calorie stuff. Keeping yourself hydrated and satisfied is the key.

Katy- We decided to go to the shelter and save a dog. Thanks for everyone's advice. I called our local shelter and they vacinate, deworm, spay/neuter and microchip the dog before we get it. Can;t beat that and get to save a life too! We won't get there until Sat though because they are open when my bf is working.They close…

Hi everyone- I hope you are all doing well. I am back to eatring right since Mon. I have done an hour and 45 minutes of biking since Monday and getting at least 4 glasses of water in a day. Tomorrow will be my official 1 week weigh in since I started this challenge :) See you then

I am not pregnant nor considering having a child anytime soon so that won't be an issue. I don't know where that came from. Thanks for the advice though

shore rider thank you for the advice. I have been researching how to introduce the cat and dog. I think I have a mental handle on it. A friend of ours neighbor had chocolate lab puppies < born May2> we are considering looking at them but won't rule out shelter dogs just yet. Blazin - She is beautiful. Good luck with her.

Thanks for the advice everyone. My boyfriend really wants an older dog. We had discussed buying a purebred but I refused because I know so many dogs are homeless I'd rather give them a home. We will go to the shelter Sat and look and Sun to the petsmart. This past Sunday we went looked and walked out without a dog because…

I am actually not sure. He has never been around another animal. I am going off his personality. He hisses and eventually warms up. These days he sleeps most of the day comes out to eat and play 2-3 timesa day.

Thanks memaw- My concern with a puppy is that I will be home for the next 7 weeks or so but then I will be working 8 hours a day. So he would be crated. I'm not sure that is fair to him

My boyfriend and I are wanting to get a dog. We have a house with a big yard. We are debating on getting an older dog or a puppy we can train from the get go. Any suggestions from dog owners? W also have a 9 year old cat I am worried might be intimidated by a large dog. thanks Nikki

Search in the food data base for the name you saved it under. That should bring it up.

Good Morning- I thought I would check in today. I am going to wait until thursday to post a new weight since that will be a week from when I started on this challenge. According to MFP with my routine I should lose 1.6 a week. We shall see. I've been on track completely except for Sunday. Today I am going shopping for an…

HI cwilson- Welcome aboard. I hope everyone had a good weekend < foodwise and otherwise>. I did really well until last night at dinner. I had chinese and this morning I weigh 2 lbs more then I did yesterday. Realistically I know I did not eat 7000 or even 3500 calories over yesterday. Today I will drink my 8 glasses of…

Hi everyone- Well I made it through Fri / Sat without going over my calories. I exercised and ate those calories if I felt I was hungry. I have not however been drinking my water. I find it hard to do that when we are not close to the bathroom. I feel like I always have to go when drinking my water. I'm going to get in at…

Hi jr- Welcome aboard :) When I am in a situation where I know I can eat and blow my whole day I try to think of what the scale last said and ask myself if its worth the scale going up or staying the same. Also, if I'm going to indulge I try to take a few bites then stop. I hope this helps at least a bit.

I am so excited that so many people joined us. I laid by the pool today and then went to lunch with a friend. For lunch I had a grilled chicken breast with fresh steamed veggies and a side salad with oil and vinegar. I an proud of myself for doing so good. Breakfast was a light vanilla yogurt with blueberries and 1 tbsp…
