hi all. went on a walk early this am, been doing yard work since....have stopped only to drink water and eat! 32 oz done. need to look for that water "cocktail"...pomegranate, lemon, lime? another thing I notice when I increase my intake is how much better my skin looks, mainly my face. keep it up everyone...whether your…

good afternoon (here) MCtY gang! 32 oz done. been doing house chores...gonna eat some lunch next and then head out to walk. Well, I have been on MFP off and on since March of 2010 and I am doing something different this time..... I am eating all or most of my exercise cals back..this time. So far, I have wanted them, been…

Yay! It's Friday!! Don't know about the rest of you, but weekends can sabotage my week of doing good. For the most part tho, it just depends what is going on. I have 2 events goin on...a bonfire tomorrow and then a gathering at my inlaws Sunday. There will be nothing healthy tomorrow, so I may just eat before I go and have…

agree ^^^

this sounds so tasty...like a cocktail :drinker: YUM!!

just need your current weight and your goal (Christmas) wt. you can weigh in any day you want and each Wednesday just post that weight. we are going to be doing some challenges also if you'd like to participate. They will run each week beginning on Thursday > Wednesday. This week we are working on water. good luck!

current weight ? goal, Christmas weight ?

Will try to get in 16-24 oz more. Will be going out for an after supper 2 mile walk. Congratulations on the water challenge!! You guys are doing so great!…

WOW!! We've had at least 10 join since this morning!! COOL!! Welcome everyone!! Glad to have ya here!! Wishing you all success in reaching your ~~ Merry Christmas to YOU ~~ weight loss goal! Remember, you can weigh in any day, but please post it Wednesday. I'm working on a chart!! Enjoy your Thursday afternoon!! :smile:

Since we are just beginning here, let's stick with the water challenge. If you want to do push-ups that's fine too. Still waiting for an answer about doing them every day?? I'm at 32 oz done. Gonna head out for a walk here shortly. How's everyone else doing?

I totally agree with this ^^^^ I have an aluminum bottle that also holds 32 oz. I try to have one down by noonish, and the other by supper time. anything after that is bonus!! Occ'l I buy some fresh lemons or limes and slice them and add to my water. I have sliced them and kept them in the freezer then take out when I need…

ok, so for our 1st challenge, I think we'll keep it simple. How bout increasing our water intake? this is no problem for some, but difficult for others. The recommended daily allowance could be a debate, but if you're on the low side, try to increase it, and if you're just wanting to improve, here's your chance! We all…

was wondering if you have a starting weight..getting ready to add info to a chart! :smile: thanks! This is AWESOME!! over 20 people already! Feel free to add me as a friend! I have a meeting soon and will check in again before bedtime...with a challenge for those participating! Challenges will run from Thursday to…

Welcome everyone!! :flowerforyou: I don't really have any rules...just wanting a place for SUPPORT!! You can choose whatever day you want to weigh in on. I weigh daily (I know, bad me), but Friday is my official day. Since we are starting today, how bout we make Wednesday's our day to report? I am considering doing a chart…

Would love to join this group if it's ok? Group A and did 2 miles this am. might add some more later!!

am on this same dose......have some of the side affects you are, mainly headaches, anxiety, jitters. maybe the 300 is too much all at once. I tried the XR many years ago, and had problems with being groggy all day long...could not function. I just wondered if anyone was on this same dose and if it was working for them.…

I have noticed I don't have much of an appetite, but can't say if it is helping with wt loss.

I am currently taking this for major depression, and it seems to help well with that.

beans, like black, red, chili air-popped popcorn fruit oatmeal whole grain breads

If what you're doing is working....I would not change anything. Eating exercise cals back is different with everyone. Some eat all, some eat 1/2, some eat none. I would just do what works for you. If you are noticing that you are hungry throughout the day, then you might need an increase in cals. Make sure all your info is…

thanks for sharing!:flowerforyou:

try taking 2 tbsp ground milled flaxseed with your cereal, yogurt... once a day. I think this comes in capsule form too. I also take fish oil capsules. all my blood lipids are normal now. increase your fiber too, at least 25 - 30 g day...whole grains only. I don't really care for the egg beaters, so when I have an egg, I…
