Feel free to add me. I've lost 80 pounds since I started, and 57 since I've been on MFP. I have 50 pounds to lose get to my "racing weight" and 78 pounds to get to my goal weight.

Jan 1 - 42 mins + bonus squats Jan 2 - Jan 3 - Jan 4 - Jan 5 - Jan 6 - Jan 7 - Total minutes done - 42 Minutes left - 78

Starting weight for challenge: 225.3 Goal weight for challenge: 197.3 Pounds to lose for challenge: 28 Ultimate goal weight: 147 Pounds to lose for ultimate goal weight: 78.3

My biggest challenge that I continue to face is "checking out", mentally. I get SO depressed, SO easily when daylight hours are few. When I "check out" mentally, I typically overeat and get lazy (not a good combination). I WILL continue with my marathon training program! I need to start P90X3. Hopefully I'll be able to…

I really enjoyed the show this week. I really missed not seeing it. Anyway... during the commercials I did dishes, folded laundry and started another load. The rowing/puzzle challenge did little for me. To me, it seemed like something you'd see on the show Survivor rather than TBL (but that's just me). The reward was…

Last night, while my sister was getting some fast food - I paid for the car behind us. I wish I could have seen the look on their face!

WTG, keep it up!

I watched the show on the DVR and did my jumping jacks on most commercial breaks. Lori was VERY, VERY lucky that she won immunity because her 3 pound weight loss was only .998%. That would have put her in the bottom 2 and I believe that she would have been voted out if she was up for a vote. I hated to see Damien lose at…

Hello everyone. I'm SO sorry I haven't been on much lately. I struggle with depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder and this time of year is VERY challenging for me. Right now, my biggest physical challenge is my foot. I've been getting injections in my foot for some time now, but the doc ended the injection series…

I watched the show On Demand. I wish I wouldn't have read the show chat to find out my man Scott Mitchell got voted off. Anyway, I think that they'll miss his leadership. The sand challenge was pretty cool, I love how they all worked together. I'm not surprised that Damien prevailed at Comeback Canyon whatsoever. That…

During the breaks, I did as many pushups as I could do. And the show, I really liked it! I figured that Damien would do well at Comeback Canyon. Jackie is closing in on a 100 pound loss, that's pretty inspiring! I think the team changes were all for the best. I can understand why Sonia was upset, but Dolvett just has a way…

Part 1 - I plan on keep doing what I'm doing, keep my willpower strong and stay commit ed to my long-term plan on getting healthy and dropping weight. When I signed up for my spring marathon, that more-or-less gave me all the incentive that I needed to stay mentally strong. To do my best on race day I must eat right every…

OK, I finally got around to watching the show online... At the challenge I was surprised at Team White's participant selection, I think Jen messed up for her team for the first time this season (I think she should have went with Woody to catch the balls - he played football). I was not surprised that Team Red won the…

I'll have to watch this weeks episode "On Demand". Long story short, the BL wasn't carried on my local NBC affiliate this week - they carried Thursday Night Football (which is usually carried on CBS... this was VERY strange).

Due to my vertigo attack last week, I was not successful in this challenge. I haven't been able to work out since that attack, but I hope that I'll be able to get a short run completed today. Sorry, team...

Better late than never for the show chat. Things have been challenging for me since my vertigo attack. Anyway, here goes... I wasn't surprised to see my man Scott Mitchell win the challenge for the Red team. He's becoming my favorite contestant since Tara Costa (season 7 - 2009), with all due respect to this year's Mike…

My P90X coach is freaking awesome! Check this out, I found it VERY helpful (in fact, I just printed it out!). Enjoy.... http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/677435

I'm doing better on getting up earlier and getting my workout ON! I'm really looking forward to tomorrow when I begin my P90X3 program. They have different "flavors", based on your needs - I'm doing the "Lean" schedule because I obviously have a LOT of weight to lose.

Foo Fighters new "album" (as it's released on iTunes) - Sonic Highways. The first two tunes are Something From Nothing and The Feast and the Famine. They were awesome on a week of David Letterman recently! :D

I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start. Since I joined MFP, I've lost 41 pounds and I plan on losing a lot more weight! So don't despair, with MFP you're at a great place! I have an MFP friend that's lost 230 pounds and wants to lose about 70 more pounds! My advice to you would be to buy a…

Stop hitting the snooze and get my workout ON!

OK, I finally watched the show - better late than never, LOL! At the temptation challenge, I would have probably ate at least 15 meatballs. They were only 54 calories each and although they're high in fat, it's carb-free. Good protein, too. Mike's poem was outstanding! How inspiring! I also liked Dolvette's chat with Scott…

oh my goodness Baby, I wish I would have looked in this thread before I did other "stuff" on MFP. Anyway, it was a busy-bee challenge. During commercial breaks, try to get in some chores like laundry, dishes, etc. Hopefully you'll get this in time to make this happen.

I watched the show on the DVR, but I'm going to re-watch it tomorrow. I haven't been feeling very good lately - hence my absence. I hope everybody's having a better week than I'm having! (but at least I lost 2.4 pounds!)

Sorry teammates, I also do not use social media so I will not be helpful on this challenge.

Hey girl, no apologies are necessary - seriously. I admire you for trying to do SO many good things at once. That's a lot of balls to juggle all at once. I'm sorry you're feeling bad, I hope you can turn that around soon. I'll take a look at your diary and see if I notice anything that stands out. I know it can be tough to…

I'm proud of each and every one of you - especially the folks who are newly sober! I never went to AA to quit, but I should have. Hopefully I'll get my butt to some meetings so I can share my experience with others and possibly help someone in need. I believe that alcoholism is a sickness, just like cancer. I also believe…

My name is Marty. I've been sober and smoke-free since 2004. It took me until 2007 to realize that I'm an alcoholic. I was able to quit both habits cold turkey. Even though I began this process as morbidly obese, I truly feel that I added at least 10 years to my life expectancy by quitting smoking and drinking. Maybe I…

I haven't been very active on MFP either. I've been logging in, but I haven't been logging my food. I haven't fell off the wagon, in fact I should (hopefully) lose at least 2 more pounds this week. Due some serious knee pain, I've been trying to take it easy - but it hasn't helped. I'm going to call my ortho doctor…

There's been some good advice given already. I've had seven foot/ankle surgeries and believe me when I say it's no fun. Back off like the others have said, and always follow the RICE treatment as already mentioned. When the pain seems to have subsided, start off again, maybe only at 20 minutes/day and go from there. I…
