Name: Lakitha Goal: Lose 20 lbs From: Houston, Tx Why doing the challenge: I was able to lose 30 lbs last year with eating right and exercising. In the recent months, I began to indulge in the wrong foods, which caused me to gain 20lbs:-( I've made a conscious decision to go back to a healthier lifestyle:-)

I had a great workout this morning! The Body Pump class lasted about 50 minutes, then I jumped on the Elliptical machine for another 10 minutes. It wasn't too hot outside, so I decided to wash my car in the front yard....which took about 35 mins. I always feel great after a workout! I'm going to really work on getting all…

Boy oh boy...I have many days when I just don't feel like doing the "right" thing(s)...such as exercising and eating right! I go ahead and allow myself to have those moment(s), then I jump back on board. The one thing that motivates me to get back on track is pictures. I love taking pictures..and I have PLENTY! In the…

Good morning MFP Fam! My NSV definately has to be the significant change I'm seeing in the way my clothes are fitting! I have pants that I bought YEARS ago that I'm able to comfortably slide in. I went to Old Navy (my favorite store) and walked out of there with 2 pairs of shorts. I had been a lil self conscious about…

There are quite a few foods that I consider to be my favorites! And yes, most of them are full of sodium! My remedy for that is to prepare my favorite foods at home, instead of dining out all the time. I still eat out, but not as much as I use to. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure two years ago at the age of…

Wow! You look great! What exactly did you do to get the weight off?

I agree that you will burn more calories on an elliptical machine. I have a Nordic Track Treadmill at home and I like it alot. I haven't been on it in a while, because machines tend to bore me a little. But I'm glad I have it, just in case I need it...lol! :happy:

I completed DAY 2 of the 30DS shred (Level 1) and I love the workout. I'm using 5 lbs hand weights and I feel every burn. This is a good weight for me because I lift weights when I go to the body pump class at 24 hour fitness and also during the Zumba Sculpt and Tone DVD! But you have to work with a weight that's…

Congrats to this week's BIGGEST LOSERS.....U ROCK! :wink:

There's nothing like a big "country" breakfast! Eggs, grits, toast, hashbrowns, pancakes........I can go on and on....lol! I know it's not the healthiest breakfast, but it's so doggone good....lol! I mostly eat about a cup of honey nut cheerios with a sliced banana; and a 1/2 cup of 2% milk or skim milk in the mornings.…

I've grown to LOVE ZUMBA! They offer the class at my gym, and I would see the ladies in there having a funky good time. One day, I decided to try it out for myself. I love the high energy and the constant movement. This calorie burning workout is insane. I love it! I also have the Zumba fiteness DVDs and the Wii game. So…

I agree that the DAILY challenges are a great way to make sure that all members are logging in. It's very easy to get really busy and fall of the band wagon. So DAILY definately helps for me! :happy: My favorite cal snack is the YO CRUNCH yogurt by Breyers...yummy!

I am totally LOVING this BOB challenge! The support system and the positive energy that everyone gives is priceless. It's great to see so many people on one accord...when it comes to dropping unwanted pounds...and living healthier lifestyles. I was able to complete yesterday's challenge of burning at least 150 calories. I…

Well to be quite honest...I'm an emotional eater! So when I'm feeling stressed, lonely, sad, happy....etc....I eat! Well that was the OLD ME! I'm slowly learning to do physical activity when feeling this way. I walk 3-5 miles in the park. It's so peaceful and relaxing. I've also become addicted to kickboxing, Cardion Dance…

MEEEEEEEEEEEE!

WOW...that's awesome!

Those are great tips! Thanks for sharing!

Love it! Thanks!:wink:
