Checking in, kinda disappeared for a while. Hopefully the group will pick up again soon. Nice job losing on vacation jafray4! I'm trying to get started again. I let things get out of hand for a while, but I'm updating my weight here on MFP and admitting how much I've gained (not recently...over the last several months),…

I need to work on that too. When I have a bad day, I tend to "forget' to log in. Yesterday I forced myself to log my 1200 calorie dinner (plus another 400 in ice cream). Not pretty but it's in the past. Today I did my first "official" workout in well, a really long time (probably since before my cancer diagnosis last…

Hi everyone! This week got away from me too. I caught a summer cold midweek (I'm still a little stuffy but it's mostly gone) and I have my post-chemo colonoscopy and endoscopy tomorrow, so I had to start liquids only after dinner last night. (well, liquid does include jello, sorbet, and popsicles). I was down about a pound…

Today has been much better. Work was just as stressful but no McDonalds this time. I actually wanted to take a walk after work (and it's been a long time since I wanted to exercise) but ended up having to lay down for a couple hours thanks to a horrible headache. Hopefully it was just from the work stress. I'm going to…

Not a good day at all. I was tired and frustrated and hungry and ended up at McDonalds after work. We just moved (without selling our old house first, eek!) so life is kinda crazy right now. But I'm making it a priority this weekend to make our lunches and plan dinners for next week. I do SO much better if I plan it all…

Hi, I'm also an Andrea :-) I'm 31 and live in Illinois with my husband. I work in the office at a counseling office, I'm a little bit of a sci-fi geek (I'm pretty sure my husband fell in love with me because no only had I heard of Doctor Who, I watched it!) and I'm a huge sports fan (go Bears!). I've always been big (I…

I'm going to be doing wall push ups, but I'm in. Hoping to move on to incline and then the real thing by the end of this year! On the logger with the same username.

Hi everyone! My name is Andrea, 30 years old, and I live in Illinois. Married, no kids, and I work full time on the office staff at a counseling practice. I've lost about 35 pounds so far, but I'd like to lose another 100 or so. My original goal was to get down to 200 lbs by my 30th birthday but I spent most of 2012 just…

I'm in. I've been concentrating on other things lately and I need to concentrate on myself for the next few months :-)

We love Fiesta buffet plates. They're more expensive than $2/each, but they're the perfect size. The luncheon plates are the same size, just a different edge. They're about a quarter of the way down the page. Ignore the $15 price...they're regularly on sale for $10.99, and Kohls usually has a 20-30% off coupon code at the…

I'm interested if there's a spot left!

I'm 29 with PCOS and have about 100 pounds still to lose. My doctor prescribed Metformin but I seem to go through cycles with it...I'll do just fine for a while and then it will make me absolutely miserable so I quit taking it til I feel ready to work my way back up again. My husband and I want to have a baby in the couple…

Female age 29 5'5" pre-MFP SW 298 MFP SW 278 CW 260 GW 170 (then will re-assess) Anyone feel free to add me :-)

I'm going for 75 miles again! Did 1.5 miles today.

Ticker updated. Short for January, but on to February!

This month has gotten away from me! Here is my updated ticker.

Total calories burned through 1/22: 4278

01/01: 2 miles 01/02: 4 miles 6 miles total

01/01/12: 301 calories 01/02/12: 421 calories

And I followed Bobbie after I saw it on her profile :) My name is Andrea, and I live in central IL. Most of my exercise comes from walking or a stationary bike. I'd love to join this challenge....my goal for the year is to lose about 60 pounds by November 5th (my 30th birthday) and a year-long challenge will really help me…

I'd like to join...my goal is 75 miles (stationary bike).

I'm going to update the spreadsheet with what I did finish, but I know I was far away from my 85% goal. Definitely agree with the others that we should repeat this in a few months, because it was an awesome challenge. I tried to keep up (even had the calendar portion of the spreadsheet printed out) but didn't realize just…

Just checking in really quick to say I did the flash challenge :) I'm away from home for the weekend and the spreadsheet doesn't load on my phone, so I'll update on Sunday.

Playing catch up for Friday (which was just kind of a bad day overall)...I was under cals on Saturday instead, and I'm doing the shoulder raises today. And I'm grateful for my very supportive husband. He doesn't complain when I cook healthier foods or try new recipes (that may or may not taste good, lol), he encourages me…

Hi everyone! My name is Andrea. I'm 29, and live in Illinois with my husband. We've been married almost a year and a half, no kids yet but hopefully someday. I'm support staff at a counseling office...billing, insurance, filing, receptionist, etc. I've been overweight all my life. Towards the end of high school/beginning…

Oh wow!! Congratulations Stephanie! :happy: I'm in for December - going to aim for 85%. Today: 50 wall push-ups, 10 sighs, 10 glasses of water.

November goals: 1. Lose 5 lbs --I lost 6.2! 2. Drink 10 glasses of water per day --Nope. I'm definitely drinking more on average though, and I've pretty much cut out my morning Diet Pepsi. 3. Do at least 15 minutes on the exercise bike per day --Not even close. 4. To get more sleep --I didn't do a good job keeping track of…

Ack! I admit, I totally forgot about the spreadsheet :( Not that I've done that great at my daily goals...I'm planning to keep those going through December, in addition to the new challenge. I did meet one of them though - my goal was to lose 5 pounds this month, and I've lost 5.8 with 2 days to go! I took a little bit of…

Here's my recipe - Chicken Tamale Casserole. Very quick and easy to throw together. It's originally from Cooking Light but I made a few changes. The original uses a can of cream-style corn instead of sweet corn, and has plain chicken on top (I added the bean and Rotel). 1 cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese 1/3 cup fat-free…

Hi everyone! Just checking in quick. I made my goal last week of 45 minutes on the bike...barely, but I did it! I haven't done so well at getting on it daily, but I wanted to prove to myself that I can workout for more than 30 minutes at a time. I think I'll be asking for a new bike seat for Christmas! Will have to look…
