Definite ugliness on the scale this weekend. Between vacation overeating, a pizza incident yesterday, and some leftover TOM weight, I was 188.2 this morning. Holy crap, that's bad. Can I tell you how pissed I am that I'm up 13 pounds from my lowest since joining MFP. ARGH! *rage* But, really, I only have myself to blame.…

I was procrastinating updating the list for the challenge, because I hadn't checked the thread in a few days and thought I would come back to like 10 pages to rifle through... luckily it was only like 4. I'm giving peeps an extra day to weigh in because it's the holiday. Even if you're up, please try and post. Remember,…

All righty... here's week #1's results. As the list of people is pretty long, please forgive me if I've somehow missed you-- it's just an error on my part Name / Starting Challenge Weight / This week's weight (difference) Kristina / 183.4 / 183.6 (+0.2) Victoria / 190 / 189.25 (-0.75) Kendal / 214.8 / 215 (+0.2) Lacey /…

Thanks for continuing to log those weights ladies! Kerry- I'm so proud of you for finishing p90x. HUGE accomplishment, and your results are amazing! You've been consistently losing some serious weight over the past couple of challenges, and I couldn't be more proud of you. Now, start to get your run on more, so we can do a…

Hello all! So, I'm currently in North Carolina on vacation. Drove down Friday, and have had a busy weekend! I'm working remotely today and tomorrow, so will probably have some time to check in here. I did promise to continue to do the weigh in charts (which are always a bit daunting the first couple of weeks with all the…

i have an online journal, but this is a new blog I'm keeping track of my marathon training in... marathonewbie.blogspot.com And holy posting batman! I can't keep up with you all! Ran a 5K this morning with my buddy and Emma which was nice. One more 3 miler to do tomorrow morning, and then I have a 7-miler this weekend to…

ahh! you're blowing me away with the books! I finished the first book, because I've been watching the series and wanted to know what would happen.. haha! I've got all the other books, and I'm trying to get through some other ones before starting the rest of the series. I'm looking forward to True Blood as well. Anyone else…

Dang it!! I totes had your weight and just missed you.... just several peeps above and below you on my chart didn't weigh in and I missed you in the process! I'm sorry! Your numbers were Katie / 249 / 240.6 (-8.4) (3.37%), which is a fab weight loss/percentage, especially as you joined the last challenge a week late, so…

Lacey you're absolutely right... I had just looked at the line above you again... and I can't edit the post any more. I had your starting weight challenge for the last one as 208.6, and two weeks ago at 207.6

Hi Lauren! Welcome! What would your starting weight be for this challenge? Do you have any other goals for over the next 6 weeks? As for weigh-ins, some people like to weigh in different days, so we have some people weighing in Fridays, and then some throughout the weekend. Usually Monday mornings I call out the people I…

Hello all! While it looks like last week was not a fabulous week for us ladies, we did great overall this challenge! And those of you who gained in the last week, it could be a fluke and your week #1 weight loss of the new challenge could be amazing! The chart is as follows: Name / Starting Challenge Weight / Ending…

My BMI is still considered obese, and I was about 30 pounds heavier than I am now when I did C25K and have since run two marathons and am just about to start training for my first full. Take it slow, but you can absolutely do it.

That's fantastic! What a sense of accomplishment that you totally deserve. I remember when i finished c25k, I couldn't be more proud of myself. Now, keep it up and you'll be running even longer distances in no time. I went from starting c25k in January last year to running my first half-marathon in October. Keep it up!

Hailie- ACK! I'm glad you're okay! The accident sounded scary! I was prepared to run this morning.. got out at 7am and it was already uber humid, so I didn't run. *grumbles* At this point, I just need to realize that all I can do it have a couple of good shorter runs this week and I'll be as prepared as I can at this point…

Took me a bit to find wonton wrappers (not in the area of the store that I thought), but these were super yummy. I actually made them without the banana and put a fresh raspberry on top instead. It oozed out a little bit, but they were super tasty. Might work better with other pieces of fruit as well, but it's worth a shot…

I started running/jogging basically because I was bored with the cardio machine at the gym and it was a challenge. I'd always hated having to run in gym at school and never did it unless I was forced to, but I saw this as a new challenge. I highly recommend the couch to 5k challenge. It's a push, but do-able and completely…

Melissa- it's a Michigander crew up in our thread! Funny! Victoria is upstate, Kerry is in Lansing, and I'm in Ann Arbor. Welcome to the group! Kerry- You totes should sign up for the half. I started training last time, but didn't actually sign up until late in the process because I really wasn't sure I could do it. I…

Amy you're looking so fit and fab!! Nice work! It's always great to see progress pics!

Kerry- Yay for thinking about a half! Detroit was Victoria's and my first half-marathon and it was a great experience. I'm tempted to do it again this year. Victoria, you potentially up for it? We could have a Michigan group run! Just think about it! Nava & Kendal - I am NOT down with Anna K being the new trainer. I…

Wooo Kendal! Work it! *wink*

Sorry for the delay with this! Hope you're all watching the Biggest Loser finale! This past week's weight: Name/Starting Challenge/Last Week/This Week (difference) Kristina / 177.6 / 177.6 / PASS <- I'm not crazy to weigh in after last week Victoria / 188 / 190 / 190 (0) Kendal / 218.8 / 215.8 / 215.8 (0) Lacey / 208.6 /…

Happy Monday everyone! I came back to work with a TON of emails and things to do, so I'll make this quick. Here's the Monday morning call out for those I haven't gotten weights on for the week (or somehow missed): I'm missing: Lacey Sarah Suzie Amber Noelle bwildered (last chance as you didn't weigh in last week either!)…

Hey ladies! It's going to take some time for me to catch up on all the forum goodness that I missed, but I wanted to check in. I'm still in Denver, but my meetings have wrapped up. It was a pretty low key trip. My boss was in meeting after meeting, but I didn't have to attend most of them. I only had a couple of meetings…

I have yet to venture into size 12 territory! Jealous! Though I am in size medium tee shirts now. Success! I'm off to the airport... hope everyone has a good Tuesday!

Victoria- yay for a Michigan Warrior Dash! Tempting! So I'm working a half-day at home and then leaving for the airport. I'm going to try and check in still, even though I'll be out of town. Wanted to get the chart up though. So here's our first week's numbers! Name/ Starting Challenge Weight / This Week's Weight…

Warrior Dash looks like SO much fun!

Lacey- thanks for the heads up. Putting you down as a pass Amy- my half is on june 5th. So not ready.

So, weekend went well. It was craptastic weather, which bummed me out, so I didn't get to spend much time outside with my parents. It was hot on Friday and we took Emma to the dog park for a while, which she enjoyed, until she hit a mud puddle, and she had to be hosed down when we got home. Those of you on FB who are…

Hello all! I miss all sorts of chatty goodness when I'm away! No surprise that I didn't venture onto MFP while my parents were on town, but I'm back on the wagon, albeit briefly before I leave for a business trip to Denver until Saturday. Oy! So, I wanted to get some challenge business out of the way, and then I'll work on…

Accountability for today: 1711 eaten / 288 exercise calories / 223 OVER. boo. hiss. But at least I still posted it. That pesto sauce on my pasta killed me-- but it's got olive oil--a good fat! haha. I just can't eat like that on a down exercise day. So, fair warning, with the parents coming into town tomorrow afternoon,…
