I am back to reporting in again myself.

I see you are doing very well at sticking with MFP. My computer is on its last hooray. I have trouble on aol with weird things going on and this site causes it to pop up. Are you on facebook?

I am here in Western Colorado. Welcome to MFP.

I will commit to 600 minutes for this month and no pounds, as I am trying to stay away from the scale.

shucks I was wondering what happen to week two check in. I just found it, anyway my other note covers me up to the 22nd. lol

Okay from the 8th to the 22nd. I have an additional 621 minutes and a 1.2 gain.

I have just been busy with the kids, sure makes a difference not having Brison in school in the morning. He can be a handful. I have been trying to squeeze in a walk before Darcie drops the kids off and they seemed to kept getting her earlier and earlier. I was getting up at 4:30. The weather today as hit the 100 mark, so…

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. You are doing wonderfully and I am really trying and I can tell my work is paying off then I get on the scales and I think, I AM GOING NO WHERE! I will keep doing what I need to do and ignore those evil scales. God Bless you as you continue on your life journey.

I always seem to gain up to 5 lbs every time I start exercising. I have learned that is just what happens to my body, but it is discouraging especially when you belong to a weight loss group and alls they go by is what the scale tells them. :( I have noticed my watch turning more and I am pulling up my jeans more. I also…

Once I started liking dark chocolate, I do not care much at all for other chocolate things.

Thanks Lenore, you are so kind. I have been giving my muscles what for lately so that is good.

316 minutes weighed on 6th up 1.4

Kim, Have you seen they have dark chocolate peanut M&M's out now. Only thing that could possible be wrong is the candy shell and eating too many. LOL Smiles, Amanda

I can not believe the big ice cream kick I am on. Years ago, I allowed myself one sweet a day and I chose the Golden nugget Bars from schwans and I lost weight just fine, but I was also out walking a lot. Time does not work out so well anymore for that. Excuse 101... haha

Okay I am here... I need to get my act together. I will go for 500 minutes and I need to get 4 lbs off at least. Weather is finally shaping up, time for me to do so also.

Lenore, you are doing great and I can understand your writing as you have it posted alright. Thanks so much for doing it for us.

I got an hour of work around house.

I got in 32 minutes of pulling kids in wagon. And I did 50 minutes of yard work.

I did not get any exercise in, unless you count arguing with a five year old all day. ;)

My daddy calls me Fiddlefoot or Panda. A few friends call me Mandy, a few call me trouble and one always calls me Angel of Mine!

I pulled the wagon with kids to and from school twice per say. Got in 32 minutes. I am heading to Denver late tonight. Spend the time there with my daughter.

Glad you were a well behaved spinner. lol... I got in 32 minutes.

18 minutes on this day.

Sure sorry you have to start dealing with being sick. NO Fun at all. I luckily kept all my sick weight off and I lost 0.4 so far. I also got in 180 minutes of exercise. I am slowly getting back with it and still trying to figure out the eating habits.

On My Perfect Weight book this is the guideline it says: Weight for man 130-1,800 calories, 140-2,000 calories, 150wt.-2,100 calories, 160wt.-2,200 calories, 170-2,400 calories, 180-2,500 calories, 190 2,700 cal, 200-2,800 calories. So if your goal is to be at the weigh 190 you should consume 2,700 calories to get there.…

I did get in 30 minutes showing my sister the work of art on our main street.

I am sure not getting anything done in the exercise department. Yesterday I just wanted to sleep. Today I coughed and coughed and Brison did too. I have got to get some exercise in as I need 120 minutes for my TOPS challenge. ugh...

I got in 30 minutes at the park.

I was not sure I was going to get any in. Today was a cloudy day and I was low on energy. After we went out for supper, it was nice and still out and just lovely weather the sun was on its way down and covered in some clouds. I watered the flowers and then spent twenty minutes pulling weeds. Was just deciding I needed a…

The one thing I really like is showing up and being accountable to others. I think our meetings are too short also, we do take turns giving the program so that way we get different subjects cover that people are struggling with or what they have studied and learn thru their experiences. I am the contest leader so that…
