I loved the idea of tomatos and olive oil. Now I can't wait for a plants to be ready!! Thanks!! I alwasy keep raw almonds on hand and break them into small baggies for a serving size or else I will eat every last one! I also do the laughing cow cheese or babybel cheese.

we did one at work and we weighed in the same day every week. We had a book where we kept our first date weight and only one person got to see it. That was someone we trusted. Then each week we would weigh ourselves on the honor system and calculate our percentage of weight lost. I had created a poster that I hung up at…

I forgot to weigh in this morning. I am scared too because I have not been eating well. I need a swift kick in the @%$! I have this horrible cold so I haven't been working out either. I miss running too!! I am hoping by Monday I can breath and get my run on. I did manage to throw away the doughnuts this morning even though…

I forgot to weigh in this morning. I am going to have a little pity party right now:frown: . I am SOOO sick.:sad: I have been working 16 hour shifts to cover everyone else who is out sick and I am mad that I can't just stay home under my blankets. Then I get up this morning and go to make my protien shake I drink every…

I actually started on my weight loss goal back in November and I dropped weight like crazy!! But as the holidays rolled around I fell off the bandwagon. I have been losing and gaining the same 5lbs for two months now so I am back to getting serious and working this but out. I want to look GORGEOUS at my sisters wedding!!…

I would like to join! I guess I will start with the introduction. I joind MFP in March because I needed somewhere to log my food so I would be held accountable. I love all the support everyone offers. I am hoping by joining this group it will also help keep my accountable. I have been watching what I eat and looking at…

Don't give up. You are going to gain before you lose. Your body is probably creating muscle, which weighs more but burns more calories. So it is a good thing. Give it a couple more days of doing what you are doing and you should lose that .5lbs!! It will all pay off in the end. Good Luck

I work 12 hour shifts as well. It is hard to get up and workout. Since I only work 3-4 days a week I only work out every other day when I work that way I know the next day I can get some sleep. Packing my lunch plus snacks has helped as well (if I can keep the officers out of them LOL)!!

Welcome and good luck I am sure you will enjoy it!! Everyone is very supportive!!

I am a 911 dispatcher as well. I have been doing it for about 3 years now. I put on about 40lbs since working there. I work for a small agency so not responsible for so many guys and gals but I understand where you are coming from. GOod Luck

woke up sick today BLAH!!:frown: I am hoping I start feeling better by this evening so I can get a work out in. Plus I hate being sick because I just seem to want to snack all day!

Ok I weighed in on Friday but didn't have time to log in here before I left for my vacation so here it is June 1st- 267 June 4th- 266.6 YAY a Loss!! But then went on vacation to Vegas for a weekend. I didn't do my C25K like I had planned but I did walk EVERYWHERE!! I made pretty good choices with my food. Stayed away from…

THAT IS AWESOME CONGRATS TO YOU!!

Ok I looked up how to log your calories. I found this website http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ to see how many miles you went and it will calculate your calories. I was right on by choosing a jogging at 5mph. I also read that you burn 100 cals per mile, give or take. You burn about 0.73 times your weight per mile walked or…

I fight that every day!! Stick with it because it feels AWESOME when you are done!! Plus you will look awesome if you keep it up!! Good luck and make it FUN!!

My mom had told me about eating the fruit on an empty stomach. Maybe she heard it on Dr. Oz. I always had heart burn after eating ANY fruit so I rarley did so. But since following the whole eat it on an empty stomach heart burn is gone as well as any other problems I had with fruit. So maybe it is true! As with the Water…

I just log jogging at a speed I think I went at for the day. Which usually isn't very fast at all!!

Did day 1 of week 2 last night. And wow what a difference. I was so proud of myself though because I actually finished it. I didn't think I was going to make it. It didn't help that an hour and a half earlier I had splurged and had some pizza at a work meeting. I should have stopped at one piece. I always like running on…

Good Luck

I am on week 2 of C25K. Stick with it it gets easier. I repeated week 1 twice because I didn't want to burn myself out. I will probably do the same for week 2. But it feels good to run again and I can feel my endurance gaining already! I hear you about the heat. Central Valley California's 100 + degrees is not fun to run…

I am in. Last month went well for me and I am hoping this month goes even better!! Starting week 2 of C25K!! I have until Oct. 16th to get ready to run my first 5K!! I am pumped!! Also going to start doing power 90 on the days I don't run!! Good luck to everyone!! SW- 267.3 GW-262.3 Hope to exceed that GW though!!

Happy Birthday to Everyone!! Congrats to everyone with weight loss!!! And if no weight loss stick with it you ladies are AWESOME!! Even though this week was not a very good one I made sure I got my excercise everyday even if it wasn't much! Was really glad when I jumped on the scale this morning!! Starting Weight November…

Finished week 1 on Monday!! Had a late start but I agree when I run the rest of the day I am full of energy!! Going to do week 1 again just because I am WAYYYY out of shap and need the extra week. I have convinced my mom to run with me!! She thinks she is dieing when she does it so I don't know if she is going to stick it…

I have been so bad. I haven't even logged on to MFP for a week. I did use my phone for a couple of days to log my calories but I really slipped this past week. Well I weighed in on Sunday. Two days later but at least I got it done. As bad as I ate the past week I can say I am suprised at what the scale had to say! Starting…

Didn't start this week at all. I had a horrible week and there was no time for running. I am going to try and start on Sunday!!

I gained 3 pounds this week. Last week I was down to 266. My weekend is Monday-Thursday so my weekend was bad :(. But can't complain because I am down 3 pounds for the month!
