Perfect- I missed the gym this morning and I have a holiday party after work, so I don't have much time to get in a workout, but I can definitely fit this in. I will commit to doing this twice :)

Yay! Can't wait to get back into the swing of things...I have been missing MFP and my gym and my normal eating habits and my water. I'm 10 oz in so far, and planning to hit the gym after work.

Egad! I had a terrible few days of being TOO BUSY and TOO GRUMPY (PMS, I think). I have not been to the gym since Thursday and I did not eat within my calories for a few days there :( SO back in the saddle again- back to the gym- fit it in one way or another!!!! Eat sensibly! I'm going to go back to the extreme strength…

Thanks, all- I ended up getting a Polar FT7 with my birthday money, and I really like it so far! It was awesome to know how many calories I ACTUALLY burned at my last spinning class :)

Good luck- take that deep breath, know that you've been doing a great job, and tomorrow is another day!

I love this group! I think I'm only down a pound since I started, but I've made some good gains in motivation. I have been to a spinning class THREE times in the past two weeks :) Today I have a project I'm still working on, so I should stay late, plus an elderly friend to visit after work, plus I've been too busy to eat…

I just wanted to give HUGE kudos to all of you on this thread who have quit or are trying to quit smoking. IT IS SO HARD but YOU CAN DO IT! I quit 6 years ago, and there are still times when that nicotine addiction rears its ugly head, even now, but it's nothing in comparison with the feeling of elation I get when I…

FRIDAY-I did start today with a bagel but kept an eye on the snacking so I'm looking pretty good for the day today, even better if I get my butt to the gym after work :) SATURDAY: Return to my running group after missing the last two weeks. The key for Saturday is to NOT OVEREAT just because I did my run- cereal for b-fast…

Wow- met this challenge before I knew it was happening :) I love love love my husband Bret. I'be been talking about getting to the gym in the morning and this morning we happened to both be awake a little before six- he nudged me right out of bed with a little "Hey- do you want to go to the gym this morning?" Why no, no I…

I hate drinking water, but I'm starting to come around- I actually drank my glass of water when I was out to eat the other night, and drank a second glass- my husband practically fell out of his seat. OK, I WILL TRY AND MEET THIS CHALLENGE!

I love this idea of not eating out for the rest of the month! We're out to eat a LOT, and it's bad for our bidget and for our weight. Eeek- don't know if we could do it...will talk it over with the hubby tonite and see if he's game!

Ugh, terrible, terrible, terrible week. My whole family has been sick with a wretched chest cough, so I didn't even work out ONCE last week, not even a walk. I really need to get a workout in ASAP to get my head back in the game. I did reasonably well eating-wise. Overall, I gained .2 :((

awesome idea- I love that!@

Went the entire day without a single piece of halloween candy!!!!

I've had an issue with one of the muscles in my hip, mainly from running, so I've been pretty much off this week. I also have a chest cold :( so I'm on an exercize low at the moment. HOWEVER, I would really like to do some of the classes they offer at my gym, like spinning and strength training. I want to try and do my…

Hi all- My name is Liz, and I'm turning 34 tomorrow :) I am married to a totally amazing and supportive husband, I have a super busy daughter who is 3, and I work full time. I love to spend time with my family and friends, and am very active in our church, which I love. All of this adds up to a very happy but VERY busy…

I did battle with myself in the candy asile at Target when choosing the candy we'd have for halloween- I really wanted the chocolate, but ended up getting something that I didn't like so that the temptation wouldn't be there to eat it. We gave our leftovers to my brother and sister-in-law who came over with their daughter…

Wow! You look amazing!!! Awesome work!

Wow- you look totally amazing! What a great transformation!

Hi there- I'm a vegetarian and have been on and off (more on than off) for about 10 years. I'd say it's pretty easy to maintain a vegetarian diet, depending on where in the country you live. I live in the Northeast and since vegetarianism is so common there are lots of options. When we go see my husband's family in the…

Awesome!!! Great work!!!!

Only on day 2 but I'm LOVING this so far- it's unbelieveable how much I sweat in only 20 minutes!! There are three segments to each workout- 2 minutes of cardio, 3 minutes of stretch and one minute of abs (I think that's how it breaks down). Repeat three times and you're done.

I'm a mom to a 2.5 year old daughter, and I'm also interested in joining this group....have never joined any of the groups on mfp, but I've been using it on and off for 3 or 4 mos and it's really not working well trying to do it solo. I'm hoping to make a lasting lifestyle overhaul and lose 20 pounds. I miss my active and…
