  • Lady Persia - I think mini-goals are an awesome way to take back control. I read in a blog to set goals that are obtainable & within your grasp. That really hit home with me. I am the one who decides what success is for me & you are the one who decides the line that determines success for you. We do not have to live…
  • bump - I'm a daily weigher too, but I will have to come back later to read up & join in

  • Exactly! This used to be my go to quick breakfast -- Not anymore!! & the other eye opener for me was Hostess apple pie at over 400 calories. So much for trying to give myself the "there's fruit in it" line -- Now I stick to the real apple for a snack. Bye Bye hostess & poptarts
  • I started 10 minutes at a time & as I got a handle on that then I gradually upped my time then started adding resistance. Now I usually do 30-40 minutes at 7 resistance. If you think you need a day off - then take it without guilt. If you think you can get on and do 5 minutes then go for that and celebrate when you meet…
  • I teach 3rd grade - I get a break at 10:35 with lunch at 12:00. I can usually get away to use the RR if I really need to. Since January the district supports a weight loss group which makes it a bit easier. A lot of the treats have a fruit or veggie tray so I try to graze off those and tell myself that the sweet/salty…
  • It is sometimes hard to log in a terrible day, but I do like to be able to look back at the progress report to see how I have done with net calorie goals, and I can see that most of my days are on track. I end up feeling better about my overall progress, and I am learning more and more that one day will not make/break a…

  • Kristen - nice job on making good choices -- Looks like it is paying off for you :flowerforyou: Today I got out my box of skinnier clothes and was surprised that almost all of them fit now. I am down to a pair of jeans and a pair of capris that are still too tight. I am not wanting to invest too much $ into a new wardrobe…
  • I got one too - Love it
  • Thanks for sharing -- this has been my game plan too - I feel like I have finally found a lifestyle that I can live with & get to a healthy weight at the same time. Thanks for telling your story. Now I know that the plan can work, and I am confident that it will work too.

  • I looked up this link & it is amazing! I tried out the intervals like they showed & it didn't feel too hard, but now that I am sitting I can feel it a bit in my calves. Thanks for the tip!!
  • I love the challenge information!! Last night when I got on the eliptical I varied the resistance and speed hoping that would work for the interval workout for 15 minutes. Then I got off for 5 & filled up my water/rested. Then got back on for an additional 30 at a steady pace. I had planned on doing a total of 30 minutes,…

  • Well yesterday we did actually finalize the adoption of our son. It was a happy time - A really cool and beautiful memory to treasure. We also went and got new family pictures taken. I am a little curious to compare last year's Christmas picture to this year's picture. I think I may look a little different. Woo Hoo!!! Also…
  • Today we finalized the adoption of our 9 year old foster son. He has been tossed around for the past 6 years, but now has a permanent home with us.
  • Is it too late to join this challenge?
  • happy kids & a few other things too, but my fav is the happy kids
  • cw: 175 no change from last week - that is okay - I am trying to maintain, but enjoy the holiday foods too - I don't really want to feel deprived over diet restrictions this week - I would rather feel smarter than past years by making better decisions than in the past - I want to enjoy the foods, but not to the point of…
  • In January 2011 I was not even to the point of thinking there would be a weight loss plan that I could live with. After getting burned out on many years of fad diets and even some healthy eating plans I just felt like there was not really an answer to my weight dilema. That being said - around May I noticed that a friend…
  • I am down 45 pounds this year & started MFP in May. What worked to help me was to take it one step at a time. Concentrating on my calorie count first then stretching myself with a little exercise & upping my water. Then looking at adding more fruit and veggies to up the fiber content. It would have been overload for me to…
