P.S. You're doing a great job! AND you deserve to do the happy dance. Great job!!!!

Los Angeles is approximately 2800 miles from New York. There are 24 members in this group. What do you think about us "walking" across the country. I've broken it down like this. 2800 / 24 = 116.66. So each member will walk, run, jog, bike, hike whatever 117 miles in the next 7 weeks. On a 7 day schedule that amounts to…

Week 3: Heather Challenge Starting Weight: 200 Current Weight: 197 Difference: -3 Christmas Goal Weight: 169 Aprox Minutes of Exercise: 30 - 60 minutes a day x 6 Highs of last week: I didn't gain any weight Lows of last week: DIDN'T LOOSE ANY WEIGHT!

If anyone can do it, it's you! You've made such amazing progress! Keep it up lady!

Are we weighing in an Sundays or Mondays? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

This whole - DON"T STEP ON THE SCALE - business is driving me nuts! Half asleep this morning and I pulled my scale out as usual, stepped on it and when I went to look down I remembered that I wasn't supposed to weigh in. My groggy brain freaked out and I screeched "OH *kitten*!" and tried to scramble off of it before I saw…

Sorry I'm late getting in my goal. My daughter just had surgery on her eye and I've kinda been out of it. Won't happen again! My ideal goal is to loose 10lbs. That may be pushing it but I'm determined to do it! Keep me on track guys! Kick my butt if I start slacking!!!!:noway: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts…

I hear ya! I have a small drawer of things I could wear 11 years ago, but now they've probably dry-rotted they're so old. My hubby was in the Marine Corps when we married and we were on opposite schedules. I would love to wait up for him in something sexy :devil: (TMI?) Now I cringe thinking of my fat a** in anything…

7.4 POUNDS!!! THAT IS TOTALLY AWESOME! SUPER PRIZE FOR MOST WEIGHT DROPPED DURING THE WEEK! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

I have become a scalaholic too! So, I'll try not to weigh myself until Monday. This week will be difficult for me because my 3yo daughter is having surgery on her eye tomorrow and we will be out of town for the next two days. I'm not sure what will be available to eat or if I'll have the chance to work out. But I promise…

As previously stated, I'm a mom of four (11- 7.5-3-1.5) and I gained weight with each of them. I've been using MFP for a month and a half now and have lost 12-13 pounds but I've kind of flatlined. I can't seem to get past this point. I'm on 1200 cal x day and am usually good about sticking to that. and I exercise at least…

Is it too late to get in? I'm a thirty something mom of 4. I need the extra motivation!

I hope everything goes well. You're in my thoughts & prayers!

Sorry, didn't mean to post twice!:blushing: Great job everyone!:wink:

I would definitely say try to take some dry foods with you, maybe cereal that you can eat dry, protein bars, or granola bars, something like that. And as stated above, water, water, water! The local grocery store idea is great too. Good luck and have fun. Try not to stress too much about it! Created by MyFitnessPal.com -…

I also gained weight with each of my four children which is why I'm here, but the best thing I've done is get off my backside and start eating more veggies! I've cut down on red meats choosing leaner meats like chicken and fish and I've all but stopped eating fast foods. Cutting out breads is NOT the way to go because your…

What you need to do is learn to balance your calories through out the day. I'm on a 1200 cal diet and I try to have 200- 250 calories for breakfast and lunch because this leaves me with calories for a snack late afternoon and 600 calories at dinner because I like to have a bigger meal at dinner. You should also consider…

This really stinks! My knee is bothering me a lot to day and I don't know what cardio I can do that doesn't use the knees. Squats and lunges of any kind are out! I don't mind taking it easy but I can't take more than 2 days off or else I'll revert back to the lazy days. Did 25 min of Pilates today and tried to do some yoga…

It's amazing that I have at least 5 things in common with every single person that has posted so far! That blows my mind! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

Okay, Here goes! 1) I am 37 years old but sometimes I feel like I'm still 25 other times I feel 55. 2) I have been married to a wonderful man for the last 14 years. (not always easy!) 3) I have 4 beautiful children ages 10, 7, 2 (going on 22,:laugh: ) and 19 months 4) I have lived in 4 different states during my life…

I would love to hear what the nutritionist says! I am on a 1200 cal diet and I try not to eat back the calories I burn off exercising. I don't usually feel hungry between meals and I try to save my 'big' meal for dinner. I am averaging a 2-3 pound/week weight loss. Honestly, when I started MFP I didn't even know you were…

Doing some searching on healthier foods and I keep coming across an ingredient called stevia. I know it's plant based sweetener but I've never seen it used or tasted it. Anyone familiar with it? What's it like?

Divorce is never easy and it's more personal now because you're married. And, you're family is not crazy! It's much more 'normal' than you realize. I've come to learn that every family has it's fair share of problems and dysfunctions. TRUST ME!!!! I could tell you a few about mine! But you need to realize that you are an…

I'll probably regret this, but it's all in good fun and maybe I need a little extra motivation! You're on! I weighed in at 198.2 this morning. What are you're terms!?! LOL :bigsmile:

You can make fruit smoothies. Just throw a bunch of stuff in the blender and go! You can sneak some high fiber/vitamin packed veggies like spinach in there too. (sounds gross I know but you really don't taste the veggies) There are some great 'green' smoothie recipes out there on the web. You could also ad some protein…

HAHAH I will do them when I get home ;) but I will have to do girl push-ups on my knees. SOMEDAY I will do 20 real pushups!!!! [/quote] I can actually do girlie push ups now ! Yeah!! But my husband (the ex-marine) just shakes his head at me. I too will someday do real push ups! Baby steps, right? Ok, gonna do push ups…

Okay, I'm considering adding 'Green Smoothies' to my diet. Maybe two or three a week. I'm not a big fan of veggies and I'm getting really tired of salads. Has anyone had any experience with these, any suggestions? Any advice would be appreciated! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods
