I'm still here too! I kind of gave up this week after my disappointing 4 weeks with only a pound lost. Congrats to you CK on your loss! I've not been feeling the best this week either. I think it's the time of year, and all the sick little munchkins that come to school coughing and sneezing. As a result I usually have a…

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to put it on my wish list :smile:

Hi, I'd like to join this group too. The last support group I joined kinda fizzled out. I also have similar stats, I'm 149 right now and it would be a DREAM to be 130 by Christmas. My ultimate goal is 120. I'm getting married in the summer of 2011 and I know that sounds like forever away, but I don't want to be stressed…

Hi everyone! I'm feeling a wee bit frustrated! I thought the reason I've only lost 1 pound after being on here now for almost 3 weeks is that I wasn't exercising enough. Well I just exercised hard I mean sweat dripping for the last 7 days and ate for the most part within my calories (maybe 50 over on a couple of days,…

Wow that's exciting ivykivy!! Ya to smaller jeans :-) I did the shred video yesterday and walked my dog for only about 1/2 hour. Still not too bad for someone who never wants to exercise! My only vice now seems to be wine splurges in the evening as well as high calorie dinners. Maybe I'll start eating more during the day…

Wow that's exciting ivykivy!! Ya to smaller jeans :-) I did the shred video yesterday and walked my dog for only about 1/2 hour. Still not too bad for someone who never wants to exercise! My only vice now seems to be wine splurges in the evening as well as high calorie dinners. Maybe I'll start eating more during the day…

Sounds like everyone is having a good start to the week....making the choice to exercise is really easy the day before and then....slightly more challenging when it's "time". I did Shred yesterday and today as well as walking my dog for around 45 minutes. So so far, so good in our challenge. I'm really really keen to loose…

Morning everyone! I also just maintained last week. I am aiming for two pounds this week...which means I'm going to have to work really hard! I can totally do it. I don't know if we're still doing challenges, but this week my plan is to do Shred every day for 7 days in addition to walking my dog for at least 45 minutes.…

A hot tub treadmill would be awesome...but honestly it's so hot in there... all you can bear to do is sit :-) Thanks for the ideas falhaone! I'm glad you're losing again! I don't have any problems getting in at least a 1/2 hour walk everyday with my dog...it's the muscle building that I need to work on. And yes, I do eat…

Where is everyone?? Falhaone it sounds like you could indeed be building muscle mass if you're new to working out. If so it will your metabolism will boost and you'll soon start losing again. You're doing great so far as eating, eg. not starving yourself etc... I'm sure you will start losing again soon. :-) As for me....…

Hi all, took me awhile to find the thread. Like I said last week wasn't so grand as I gained a pound. I'm trying to get back on board this week and lose again. My main problem is fitting in exercise.... here's to a great week. Maybe we should have an exercise related challenge? Falhaone what does your exercise schedule…

Well. this weekend I've really gone off the deep end. I weighed myself in today, and yes I've gained a pound. Back up to 150. I knew hosting thanksgiving would be a bit stressful....and to deal with my stress I turned back to old faithful... How disappointing. I guess I'm going to have to try twice as hard next week. Happy…

Well... we're coming to the end of my 3rd week trying seriously on MFP... and I had a set back last night.... pizza...3 slices of it, an hour before I went to bed...it was also my dinner, but ended up with it way late. You know that immediate feeling of disgust and "why"..... right after.....ya! Today is a new day... I'm…

No snacking last night! And, 8 :drinker: cups of water. ivykivy are you not trying to snack at all? I know I snack during the day, but they are preplanned snacks to keep me going. I think those are okay and actually important as they keep me from doing the big binge :smile:

Hi all :smile: Last night was great for me. I had dinner at about 7:30 and ate nothing after besides my herbal tea. I also managed to ensure I had 8 glasses of water. Here's to an equally fantastic day today. I am however REALLY struggling with exercise. Anyone have any easy to get started after you haven't been doing…

Hey everyone! Congratulations Nucond :smile: And Happy Belated falhaone! I had such a busy weekend that last night I was so tired I went to bed at 9:00pm... no chance for any late night snacking. I suppose that's one way to succeed at this challenge. I'm usually pretty good for night snacking. My weakness is ketchup chips…

I'm weighing in at 149 this morning! Yaaa.. I'm down. My water went only okay last week. Exercise was terrible... almost non-existent. I'm trying to get more into it this week.

Yeah Friday!!! I really need this weekend to recoup!! I managed :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: today! It's been very yucky out all week and I haven't done much in terms of exercising beyond a brisk 45 minute dog walk everyday. How does everyone get the motivation to…

Ok, so today I managed :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: It's not the 10 I was aiming for but okay! Today was another super busy day! I can't wait until the weekend :happy: Hope everyone else has had great weeks. It's exciting to see so many new people joining here!

thanks!:happy:

I just wanted to try a post with a "ticker"..do you actually have to post that big address everytime you post on here to have your ticker show up? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Diet Plans

I didn't have time to post yesterday, but I only managed :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: ! However, yesterday was a whirl-wind of special events....I was actually thirsty and couldn't get away to grab a drink!! I'm going for 10 today :smile:

I managed :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: yesterday. Thanks for the tips. I do remember my body starting to not process the water so quickly and adapt when I was drinking more a couple of years ago. I'll just grin and bear it for now! Had a goodbye dinner for a girlfriend…

I'm only :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: so far too.... I'm a teacher and it's hard to drink so much during the day because I just can't get up and go when I have to "go".... it's a bit frustrating! Any tips??

Not the best water day for me! Actually not the best day all around! I missed my workout..... and was so busy I think I only managed:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Excuses excuses...... I'll go drink another couple of glasses! Here's to a better day tomorrow!

I'd love to join. I've been looking for a group to join for support. I would love to be as close as possible to my goal weight by the new year. I'm also in Toronto Ontario. I'm 150 pounds right now, and my goal is 130. What should our challenge be for this week?? :-)

Can anyone join this slim by summer group? My goal is to loose 25 pounds by June. Breakfast- Multigrain Cheerios and 1% milk Lunch - that new V8 soup in "green" broccoli and parmesean, a yogurt, some carrots and 8brown rice seaseme crackers Dinner - to be determined??? I have a meeting tonight and then will have to…

What is shred??
