Good job, loveme!! Yesterday's goals (Monday) Fitness: not met (got in about 10 minutes exercise) Diet: met Today's goals (Tuesday) Fitness: 20 minutes exercise Diet: within MFP calories Challenges: My schedule is still the challenge. I may get more exercise in today due to the activities that I will be doing in lab class.

I’m ready for a productive week!! This weekend went pretty well b/c I got plenty of exercise and ate o.k. If anything, I didn’t eat enough on Sat. and Sun. Today’s goals (Monday) Fitness: at least 30 minutes exercise – I will be touring a facility, so this is probably possible. I’ll also try to fit in some stretching/yoga…

Loveme - That sounds like a great idea! I could use the extra encouragement. It has been a frustrating couple of weeks. Yesterday's goal (Monday) Fitness: 20 minutes exercise (not met--too busy in class/work) Diet: not met (the donut yesterday didn't help---plus, hard to meet when not exercising) Today's goal (Tuesday)…

There is not way that I'm going to lose the weight that I wanted to by Thanksgiving. However, I am not giving up, and plan on losing at least a pound a week between now and then. Yesterday's goals (Sunday) -- Fitness: reached - great walk along the river diet: did not reach Today's goals (Monday) - Fitness: at least 20…

@loveme - Thanks for the support!! Wednesday's goals: fitness: 30 minutes exercise - not met diet: within MFP calories - not met Thursday's goals: fitness: 40 minutes exercise - met diet: within MFP - met Friday's goals (tomorrow): fitness: at least 40 minutes exercise diet: within MFP calories

Classes are tiring!! My schedule is so packed, that I haven't been able to fit in homework (let alone, exercise). Today is my last day this week of 13 hour day. Yesterday, I managed to fit in a 10 minute walk around the campus on a break. I think we'll be practicing moving patients today, so I will get some exercise.…

I second the idea that a high sodium diet can come from processed foods, eating out, fast foods, etc. Soups and lunch meats are esp. high. There are a lot of hidden sodium sources such as MSG and other preservatives in processed foods. I read somewhere that those hidden sources are worse than the stuff that tastes salty…

Actually, they will be 13 hour days. I can't count.

@Wendyc - WTG on starting the 30 DS!! It sounds like you have a plan to make it work!! I think it is a great program, and you'll feel great once you complete it!! I did not have a good food day yesterday. I ate every snack within reach. I think I was nervous about my class that starts today. I'm not going to beat myself up…

Yesterday's goal (Friday) Fitness: yes! Diet: no (200+ calories over) Today's goal (Saturday) Fitness: at least 40 minutes Diet: At least 10 cups water Challenges: It should be no problem getting outside to exercise, because it's beautiful!!

You might want to be sure that you aren't overdoing soy. If that's the only place you're getting it, it might be o.k. I'm not sure what the daily recommendation is, but it is possible for women to have to much due to it being plant estrogen.

@Wendyc - congrats on the weight loss!!! That is super. I hope you have a great time with your mom.

Thank you for your support re next week's schedule. I have made up a schedule and plan. I will buy TJ salad's for lunch, and frozen dinner's for dinner. I'm planning on break time between activities so that I will eat and relax a bit. Wed. and Thurs. Goals Fitness: met Diet: still ate after 10 p.m. and calories a little…

@change_happens - Welcome back. I hope you get answers fromt the doctor soon!! @loveme - Wow, you're doing great!! Yesterday's goals (Tuesday) Fitness: 40 mnts - done Diet: within MFP, no food after 10 p.m. - I was close. I was just a few calories over, and had a small handful of almonds around 10:30 p.m. I'm fine with…

Yesterday's goals (Monday) diet: did not make it (ate after 10 p.m.) fitness: made it (over 80 mnts) Today's goals (Tuesday) diet: within MFP calories, no food after 10 p.m. fitness: over 40 mnts exercise

I'm 5'3", and my goal weight is 115. That might sound low, but I'm very small boned. When I was in my 20's, I weighed around 100, and was underweight.

@Wendyc - Thanks for the recipe!! I made it to the grocery store Friday, so that helped with my food choices. Friday's goals Diet - I did much better - I was within calories. Fitness - I completed 30 DS b/c the weather was yucky outside. It was a good work-out (I'm still sore). I was glad to have something I could do…

@loveme - I tried the 30 DS today. Wow!! It was a great work-out!!

Yesterday's goals (Thursday) Diet: did not complete -- over calories, and ate after 10 p.m. :-( Fitness: I got in 40 minutes exercise Today's goals (Friday) Diet: not over MFP calories and no food after 10 p.m. Fitness: at least 40 minutes exercise Challenges: same as yesterday I think I'm going to pick up some low-calorie…

I go with the uncured center-cut bacon. I think the real thing is tastier. I think that the turkey bacon isn't necessarily cheaper b/c it can come from all over the turkey. If it was just white meat or something, it might be healthier. I just eat the lean part of the regular bacon, and leave the fat. It's not possible to…

I have the cheapest version of the Crock-Pot brand. I would only pay more if I needed a bigger one, or if I wanted one with a timer. Mine is fine for how I use it. I think it is great for winter. It's great for cooking within my work schedule. I can brown the meat, cut the veggies, and put everything together the night…

@loveme - I'll probably try the 30 DS one of these days when the weather is bad or when bf doesn't want to get exercise. I prefer to exercise outdoors if possible.

Yesterday's goals (Wednesday) Diet: within cal and not eating after 10 p.m. -- yay, I did it!! Fitness: 40 minute exercise -- done, completed 90 minute walk! Today's goals (Thursday) Diet: within cal and not eating after 10 p.m. Fitness: at least 40 minutes exercise Challenges: same as yesterday--make sure I eat enough…

@Loveme - I own the 30 day shed, but haven't tried it yet. Yesterday's goal (Tuesday) Diet: great! I stayed within calories, and got in over 5 F/V, and didn't eat after 10 p.m. Fitness: under my goal, but o.k. I did a 30 min run/walk (my walk was interrupted with a downpour) Today's goal (Wednesday) Diet: within calories…

Good morning, everyone!! @Wendy, Thanks for the advice! I tried it, and will have to say I enjoyed eating the extra calories. LOL Yesterday's goals (Monday) DIET: done - ate 5 fruits/veggies, stayed within maintenance calories FITNESS: done - no exercise due to fatigue from flu shot Today's goal (Tuesday) DIET: 5…

@Wendy - Did you try the thing where you switch up calories for a couple of days and is it working? I still probably need to do that, b/c I'm not losing anything.

Friday met goals - did a good job eating throughout the day Saturday (Oct. 1) met all goals - took a great bicycle ride to the Balloon Fiesta and ate well Sunday (Oct. 2) Did not do well. I didn't eat much during the day, and ended up eating a lot of junk at night. I did get exercise, but was over my calories for the day.…

Wednesday's goal - exercise - done food - good at fruits/veggies, but over on calories (midnight snack) Thursday exercise - done (2 hour back ride!!) food - My new goal was to make sure that I ate & drank enough before exercising. I did better today and didn't get light-headed while bike riding. Friday exercise - at least…
