Hey All! I decided to join this challenge because I really need motivation to add ST to my workout plan. Get me on a cardio machine or outdoors walking and I can go on and on but I resist (pun intended) lifting weights. This is kinda crazy because when I do get in there and get started I really do get into it. Sunday: 47…

I desperately need to tackle this challenge throughout my house. However, I'm going to start with my desk. Its really needs more time than I have now but I will start by sorting and putting things in some logical piles.

Yes I did! Walked/jogged 3 miles (12 laps) on the high school track. Did 2 miles in 29 minutes then the next mile in 18 minutes -- 356 calories burned.....I FEEL GOOD!

As parents we are here to guide our children. We are the first to define the values they learn. Most importantly we show them by our own example. So if we are not making good food choices ourselves, no matter what we say or no matter how much broccoli we shove at them, they will do exactly what they see us do. So I have…

Santa Baby brought me a BodyBugg and Zumba 2 for Wii. I'M LOVING IT!!!! Heading to the track now to test out the BodyBugg........Yeah!

I've gotten quite obsessive about logging everything since reconnecting with MFP on Dec. 2, 2011. It reveals so much about my habits - good and bad. How else can I change if I don't understand my patterns. Have to keep moving as well so since I don't have to cook, the kids and I are heading to the track to walk and/or ride…

When people ask where I'm from I usually say that I'm from every place I've ever been or that I'm Jamerinadian -- Born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, raised in Toronto, Canada, married and living in Springdale, Maryland but an avid international traveler. A product of world baby!!

I have a Zumba program for the Wii on my Christmas wishlist. Have you tried any of those or can you recommend a DVD?

The Body Bugg topped my Holiday Wishlist and it arrived today. I can't wait to start using it. I use a Nike HRM to gauge my workouts now. I absolutely love it because it provides some data after each workout. I'm hoping using the Body Bugg and HRM will give me a more complete picture of how effectively I'm moving/burning…

I blow up as well. Calorie for calorie if I eat the same number of processed/refined carbs as I do complex low carb natural foods, I not only will gain and/or bloat, it throws me into an addictive binge cycle. Since reconnecting with MFP on Dec. 2, 2011, I challenged myself to steer clear of processed/refined carbs until…

Hey all. I'm Avonie originally from Montego Bay, Jamaica via Toronto, Canada. I now live in Springdale, MD. No commuting dramas here because I work from home...albeit an often dreary basement. The wifi does grant me some reprieve. I recommitted to MFP on Dec. 2, 2011 and know now that logging my food and exercise is only…

I welcome a challenge and regular accountability.

I'm an Atkins devotee and keep my carb count between 40-50 per day and that seems to work for me.

I enjoy mixing 1 or 2 tablespoons of salsa with cottage cheese. I'll eat it on its own or I may wrap it in lettuce leaves or eat it on slices of cucumber. This actually works anytime of day.

Welcome to the party! I returned to MFP after Thanksgiving because I completely overdid it then I was so out of control and I can't afford to continue to eat that way if I want to live a long and healthy life with my family. I intend to enjoy Christmas and New Year but now instead of numbing myself with food, I intend to…

I prefer going to the gym to get my sweat on but lately I've incorporated some tapes when I can't get there. One of the most challenging burns come from Banish Fat Boost Metabolism by Jillian Michaels. Burpees, High Knees, Plank Walk and Plank Twist...hurt so good!

Just reading your program is both intimidating and extremely impressive. Wow! So what's the "for dummies" program? That's kinda more my speed right now.

My scale and I have a complicated relationship. I compulsive step on it everyday even though I know I'm going to feel like crap if my weight goes up and of course I rejoice and feel great if it goes down just a notch. I know all about water weight, fluctuations during the day and all that, none-the less I'm obsessive about…

I need to hop on this bandwagon because I need a double dose of honesty. Experienced a major setback but I must turn this around.

I fully understand the mind-body confusion. Now that I've made the full on commitment to lose weight, I go into this almost obsessive mode and micro-manage everything that goes into my mouth. The key is striving to strike a balance because we don't want to stall our metabolism and therefore our weight loss. I use the food…
