Thank you everyone, SO MUCH, for the encouragement!! It means so much to me. You're right this is about me, and for me, and it is only me that can do something about it! I am glad (well, kinda) that I am not the only one in this boat. Hopefully together, we can all get back on track. Oh, and coachlou - thank you so much…

Sorry, today was so busy, that I didn't get time to come on the site. Thanks so much jjtonic75 for coming up with the challenge, it is greatly appreciated :smile: So..

I'm still here!!!! :laugh: I've just been so busy lately! I have done well with the challenge this week. I am making sure to track EVERYTHING! The last few weeks I had gottn kinda slack with it, and I noticed in other message boards, that I wasn't the only one. This is why I chose it as a challenge. I have also been doing…

Hello all! Sorry, it has taken me so long to post again. I thought that maybe this week I would keep the same thread going, as there is not a whole lot of posting going on :grumble: But, I know, my fault too. I don't know where all of our members went..... maybe we will get some more :bigsmile: So, how did you do with last…

Good Morning Everyone! I went to a yoga class last night, so I was a little sore to do my run this morning, so I will prob go after work today. I don't know if it makes a difference but Wednesday night I also went 3 km. Hope everyone has a great day :flowerforyou:

Congratulations! I am on Week 5 of c25k and love it! I think the hardest thing, was committing to start it. Once I did it the first time, I was hooked. You will love it! And my incy wincy piece of advice, is take your time with it. Sometimes when I started a new week, i would get discouraged b/c I couldn't keep up, so I…

Good Morning! I also didn't do realy great this week, but I di lose 0.6 so I am down to 158.2. Did a run/walk this morning for 3km so I guess that I got my mile in today :smile: Hope everyone has a great week:flowerforyou:

Good Morning! How's everyone doing with their challenges? I have gotten in my 3 sessions of cardio (c25k), now I must do my strength training. I find that I am not as good at getting that in. Tonight I have a yoga class (my first one), so I am excited for that. I have done yoga before at home with a dvd, or tv shows, but I…

It sure is progress! I think that you are doing an excellent job :happy:

Congratulations! I checked out your pictures. You have come a long way---such a great job! :bigsmile: You must be so proud of yourself! Keep up the good work :flowerforyou:

Good Morning! I didn't get either exercise or strength training in last night. I went to my parents for supper and by the time I got home I was too tired to do anything (I went to bed at 9! :yawn: ) Anyways, today is a new day, so I plan on doing my run and some strength training tonight :smile:

Hope your knee is feeling better soon! Don't overdue it, but maybe with some rest and tlc today, you'll be right back on your feet! :flowerforyou:

KatWood - Sounds like you did great with the water challenge :smile: Sorry I was late with getting the new thread started, but here is the link: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/65852-the-movers-the-shakers

Hey - just checking in to see how everyone's doing! How is the challenge going for you? Also, how did you do this week with your food/exercise? I finally got out for a run last night, that seemed harder than usual, but I feel much better today, and I did last night as well. No big plans for the weekend. A friend of mine…

That was crazy! Thanks so much for sharing :smile: I love that song! :drinker:

Welcome! We weigh in on Wednesdays. Glad you could join us...

I know exactly what you mean... I am the same way. I can't really give you advice b/c I am not so great with it myself. But, I do find that if I am craving chocolate, sometimes if I drink chocolate milk, it will help curb the craving, and is much healthier for me :smile: I know a lot of people (that want chocolate) will…

Congrats Memaw! :flowerforyou: I'm sitting here tryiing to figure out how to lose 3 pounds by the 19th :laugh: It is my brother's wedding that weekend and I wanted to be down to 155. It still may happen tho... Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!! :flowerforyou: :smile: :drinker:

Thanks everyone for you help! The article was great, I am going to take that into consideration. I don't believe that I am prego (TOM last week). I don't think the weather is helping much either. It is cooler now, but I find that better for when I do my run. However, it is staying dark later in the morning, and I am…

Yes, I am always very close with my calories, and majority of the time I eat all my exercise calories. I also eat protein with every meal. This is SO frusterating. For the last few months I have felt the best I ever have and been very energetic, and now... not so much...

So, is she going to be a guest judge for a night, or is she taking Paula's spot?

Water is going well today. I drank A LOT yesterday. How are you doing with it? I really wanted to go for my run last night, but I was just so tired from eating so much :laugh: Hope everyone's having a great day! :drinker:

Hello, Hello! Well, I got all my water in yesterday, and I am about halfway there today so this week is going good so far. I ended up having chinese food for lunch, so I am going to try and drink more water today as I know there is so much sodium in it. KatWood - It's great that you are going to run a 1/2 marathon! You…

Everyone is doing a great job! Congrats to you all!

Hello Everyone! :flowerforyou: I'm down 1.2 lbs to 158.8. Back into the 150's!!! :bigsmile: Have a great day!:drinker:
