This led to my latest weight gain of nearly 30 pounds. I injuries my back very badly and had to be put on steroids for several weeks, which combined with no exercise caused me to gain the weight. I was more mentally scared of re-injuring myself than anything else so it took me nearly 4 months to start back up. I'm really…

Ravenclaws!!!! How I've missed you all! I'm so very sorry I've been away. My life has been a bit upside down at the moment and unfortunately doesn't show signs of righting anytime soon :-/ Haven't been losing any weight since the movie came out but I haven't put anything back on either! I haven't been keeping up with this…

Thoughts after day 1 Level 1. I thought I'd be sore... and I'm not at all. It was hard to do while I was doing it but I really thought I'd be sore. Anyone think I should move one to Level 2 now or wait until day 11 (doing 10 days of each level)

I started yesterday. It was hard while I was doing it and I sweat more than I ever have although today I'm not sore at all. I expected to be from what people said so now I'm wondering if I should stick with Level 1 for 9 more days and then move onto Level 2, or just move onto Level 2 now?

1) I wouldn't completely cut out the foods you love and tend to splurge on, if you do you'll crave them hardcore and then binge on them. 2) I take what I'm allowed to have and then put the rest away, in the fridge out of sight and then as soon as I'm done I brush my teeth that way if I try sneaking something from the…

I just finished Day 1! It was intense that's for sure and certain thing I really thought I was going to die. Like pushups the second set killed me! And the bicycle crunches! Omg a minute of that is insane! I can't wait to see a couple weeks from now if I feel differently! Took my measurements and I can't wait to see how it…

I'm starting later this evening! I'm really nervous and also really excited! I'm planning on taking pics and measurements tonight! I can't wait!

Thanks everyone! I know when I do some lunges at the gym with weights I have to be careful to not do too many cause they make my knees a little sore so I will do what everyone suggested and just take my time and make sure my form is perfect! I just placed the order through amazon and it should be here before the 14th!…

First stop stressing... stress is bad for weight loss. Tomorrow is a new day. Second your body needs the calories but I understand about not wanting to eat anymore fat. Today I had over 800 calories left and I was over in fat too. So I went to Razzy Fresh a local frozen yogurt place and got a *huge* cup of fat free…

How can you change the % from 15 to 30 (or whatever)? I can't seem to find this on my settings...

We're so close to having a *whole* other thread!!!!! I love being in Ravenclaw!

Whoo hoo!!! YAY! Go us! I have a question about this weeks exercise challenge... I haven't been able to work out all week since I started my new nanny job. I'm now working two full time jobs and will be until they both get cut back to part time in July. So I haven't been exercising like I'm use too due to complete lack of…

I use to have a really hard time too and I've found that it's been getting easier. I still crave soda every once and awhile but I think it's mainly for the carbonation that anything else.

YAY House points! I'm doing really good with this weeks challenges too. I've been walking to my second job instead of driving and I live on fruits and veggies there just so yummy! So I've got 3 for the food and 3 for the exercise challenge already! GO RAVENCLAW!!!! Everyone did so well this week!

No chart for weight loss this week? No chart for house points? I'm dying to know how we did!

I hate when TOM comes around this past time made me "gain" 3 lbs that I thankfully lost right after it went away.... sometimes I hate being a girl! lol

wow just over 22 mins! that's awesome! I recently did the Pittsburgh Marathon's 5K and the fast time for a woman was just over 21 mins! So that is really really fab! Go you!

Checking in at 198! down 3!!! Whoo!! As for house points I have 2 for exercise (I posted about them earlier in the week) and I've avoided binges 5 times this week (although I completely failed at it yesterday :-P) So I should have 7 new house points plus however many times I've posted which I honestly don't know :-/ GO…

I can't see your dairy so I can be sure, if you make it visable to people you should get some better answers. My first guess though is that you aren't eating enough calories. I started working out in Jan. and since then I've lost 19lbs. I started MFP 4 weeks ago and in those 4 weeks have lost 10 of those 19lbs. So this…

LET'S CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But Julia, why on earth are we celebrating, you ask? Well because.... Guess who just weighed in at *under* 200lbs.... This girl right here! *happydance* 198...198...198...Hell yeah!

The two things I *hated* about HBP movie was that first off they have a fight scene at and destroy the burrow.... wtf... no seriously... WTF???? Second the way they handled the kiss with Ginny... they never said that her and Harry got together and started dating they never had Harry tell Ron and get his approval... that…

I carry most of my weight around my stomach too, and I also have PCOS. First off even with out the PCOS stomach/belly fat is the hardest to get rid of. It likes to hang on in that area and as a woman you are suppose to have a *little* bit of extra fat around there anyways in preparation for childbirth so it's going to be…

I'm in the same boat until I start my new job with the low on money thing. Isn't it horrible that the good for you healthy food is *SOO* much more expensive than that crap junk food. I find that so wrong.

Harry's scream in OotP when Sirius dies was agonizing to watch... I just can't imagine what it sounded like. I hate that part Sirius is my favorite book character. :-( GO RAVENCLAW!!! #1 this week (for the moment at least)

I'm rereading the 7th one right now! I'm so excited for the final movie and also really really sad. I don't want it to be over!

Craving curbed again last night! Wanted ice cream sooo soo bad so I got skinny cow and ate ONE! It was delicious. :-) I love this challenge. Also been trying new workouts. I did a new strength training with free weights (never used free weights before) and I did rowing on Monday which I haven't done in *years*

Yesterday I really wanted some candy so I dished out a serving and a half (70 reese's peices) and then slowly ate them over the next hour while watching my evening movie. It was awesome well within my calories for the day and felt like I was "munching" through the whole movie. Love love love the challenge for shortchanging…

I listen to the sound track of Mama Mia. It's upbeat and fun! :-)

Aloe I swear by it it works wonders

So I decided to weight myself when I got home from work again on a whim since I'm feeling a lot less bloated due to TOM than I was all weekend and this morning and I'm back down to 201 which is better than gaining 2 lbs! So if it's alright and not cheating... I'd totally love to use my staying the same weight of 201…
