Day 2 Goal - Drink 64 ounces of water. Today was my weigh in day and I gain 2 pounds - ugh. I am trying not to get discouraged like I usually do. It seems like I always gain weight on the weeks that I work the hardest. Then I usually get discouraged and quit - but not his time!

I might try that. I have a 28 ounce tumbler of water on my desk all day, every day and I'm lucky if I ever finish drinking it. I never feel thirsty so I have to force myself to drink. A pop up reminder in my email might just do the trick.

I am 38 years old from Massachusetts. I just found this group today and I'm very happy to be a part of it. My goal for this 100 day challenge is to log my food every single day and to do some sort of physical activity at least 4 times a week. I remember 10 years ago when I was 50 pounds lighter and trying to lose weight. I…

My mini goal for today is to go to the gym. I just joined a gym last week and I am still trying to figure out how to fit it into my schedule.

I had the same problem - I would vomit every time I took a vitamin. I tried different brands, taking at different times of the day and taking in with a variety of different food but nothing worked. I take the chewable Centrum Complete now and I have no issues what so ever.

Yes, of course I see that we are on different plans. I was just offering my experience up as part of a discussion.

I think I'll stick with my doctors orders too!

I'm just telling my story based on what my doctor said. Sorry that you all don't agree.

I asked my doctor what to do if I burned 500 to 600 calories working out HOWEVER, I never burn that many. When I asked the question, I was just throwing numbers out since I really had no idea how much I'd actually burn once I got started on my worout plan. The important thing is to create a deficit - either by eating less…

I net about 1200 calories which is where I need to be.

My doctor has me on a 1500 calorie diet. I specifically asked her about how to manage my calories if I burn 500 to 600 working out and she said that she does not believe in that method. She advised me not to eat back calories that I've burned.

I'm having trouble entering my weight on the tracking sheet. I type but nothing appears?

I like this idea!

Did anyone else completely blow their calorie count over the holiday weekend?! I know I did!! I'm getting back on track today - tracking what I eat and eating better food and hopefully getting some exercise in. Today is my wedding anniversary so I might be celebrating instead of exercising.

Thank you for starting a thread for our team. I'm Tammi and this is my first challenge. I'm hoping that the accountability will help me stick to my goals.

I need friends and support too. I used to have some MFP friends but they are all gone :( I'm 38, 5'7" and need to lose 50 pounds. I struggle to keep myself accountable so some support would be great. Please add me! :)

I've only done one day. Got a nasty stomach bug after lunch yesterday. I think I am going to attempt to do Day 2 now.

I complete Day 1 last night and I am feeling it today. I sit at a desk all day which I think makes it worse. I feel better if I keep moving. Day 2 tonight.

Yes! I need the support on this. I've tried so many times but never made it a full 30 days.

I started week 7 last night. I'd been doing the run parts of the program at 5mph but I couldn't do that last night. I had to drop down to 4.7mph and still needed to take a few breaks. I'm trying week 7, day 1 again tomorrow....at an even slower pace. this was a great thread to read. I feel better now.

I had my first son when I was 15 and my second when I was 17. They are 20 and 17 now and I am 35. Both children were NOT planned and I certainly wished that I had them when I was much older.....like now. I think I did OK at raising them but it would have been better if I'd had more life experience.

Started week 2 last night. I know I am way behind everybody else!

I had Lasik eye surgery this on the 9th and I can't do any physicaly activity for a weeek! That's going to put me behind.

I've done the coolrunning C25K program in the past. Unfortunately, I did not keep up with my running and I can no longer do a 5K. i think I will start the program over again and join you!

I can't beleive that I gained 3 pounds this week. I don't understand it! My goal last week was to work out every day. I reached my goal. I spent a minimum of 30 minutes a day on the treadmill walking and jogging. My food wasn't great but it wasn't horrible. This weeks goal - lose those 3 pounds! I will have to increase…

This weekend was super tough. I had a Retirement Party (dinner and drinks) on Friday night...A birthday party/cookout on Saturday and then Mother's Day Brunch and afternoon cookout on Sunday. No time for working out but I did OK on my weight. But I have a bad feeling that all that over indulgence will catch up with me…

I'd like to join in this challenge (I know I am a little late). I need to be held accountable!!! I left MFP and gained a lot of weight. I am back now!!! May 3: 187 May 11: May 17: May 24: May 31: June 7: June 14: June 21: June 28: July 5: July 12: July 19: July 26: August 2: August 9: August 16: August 23: August 30: 160…

:laugh: :laugh: Britches reminds me of my Gram. I thought she was the only one who used that word:laugh: :laugh:

I just sent my starting weight in....177. Icky. I did good on my water yesterday. I ended up sucking 3 glasses down an hour before bed so I had to get up and go to the bathroom a couple times. Today is much better since I already have 4 glasses done and its not even lunch time yet. Gotta get back to work! ~Tammi

I'm so excited that we are starting a week earlier than planned. I'm on board with the water challenge. Some days I could drink 8 glasses and then some without a problem. Other days - like today - I have to forcemyself to take a sip. Uggh. ~Tammi
