I'm here!!! Although fairly late in my day, it's been crazy!! So I weighed myself yesterday when I was at the gym because I knew I wouldn't have a chance today, so I'm down the .5 from last week! Going with 167 this week! Not overly impressed with myself, buy every bit counts!! Have a great time in VEGAS Allie!!

Chris, congratulations! Youre making such progress! The ones are just around that corner!! You are such an inspiration!! Shredder - I have nike's too and LOVE them! I remember the 1st time I wore them and how light they were!! I totally recommend getting fitted properly! Ncole - before this thred I was only weighing myself…

Kaylac, I love the challenge!! What a great way to get everyone motivated!! I tracked my cals yesterday and was 305 under before I put in my exercise (which then went to 745 under) buy I'm trying not to eat my exercise cals! So I also got my workout in with my trainer last night and although wasn't in the mood to trek to…

OH and Chris, I did pretty good with your challenge, I love that it made me aware of how much water I was drinking. I usually drink 60-80oz/day and I managed to drink more this week all thanks to you! :smile: so I'm going to continue with this challenge!! My problem is drinking pop. I have switched to drinking diet, and…

Good Morning ladies!! Hope everyone has had a great week!! My weight for week three is: 167.5 so I've gained .5, which I think is no thanks to the big *kitten* bowl of pasta I had for dinner last night! But was up n met my trainer for 5am this morning! Did some boxing, weight training! It was great! **Note to self: eat…

I also read a great tip for feeling fuller - if you find that lunch rolls around and you just want to chow down (let's be honest, this happens too often, especially when I don't bring snacks to work) drink 2 glasses of water BEFORE you eat. Then have your lunch, dinner, whatever and finish off with another glass of water!…

Shredder I completed your 1 day mini challenge!! Off to a good start this week!!!

Hey everyone, happy monday :smile: Allie, thanks again for the amazing spreadsheet! I love the idea of us all going for a 100lb loss, will keep us all motivated to keep the numbers dropping. I have a suggestion about the nominated challenge person for this week - Can Allie, Shredder, or Heather email the biggest…

I just finished the sit up challenge - I was able to do 106! I will keep working with this website to work myself up to 200 just like those of you who have completed this!! I plan to meditate tonight after yoga, when my son has gone to bed :) thanks meokk for the awesome challege! Can't wait to see what you come up with…

Happy Friday ladies!!! I hear ya shredder, it's that TOM for me as well, I feel like garbage, all bloated n disgusting!!! I'm weighing in late today cuz I've been at a conference for the past 3 days out of town! So stopped by the gym on my way home and the weight on the scale read 167lbs I haven't done well in the eating…

FANTASTIC THOUGHT!!! - That's exactly my goal to lose! - Thanks, I needed this today! :smile:

I'm Here!! and looking forward to my meditation this week. I have a girlfriend at work who is into meditation and has different CDs, so maybe this is the time to borrow one!! Have a great week ladies! :heart:

I just want to congratulate you, and point out your strength in posting your weight!! This thread is such an amazing group of ladies, and if there is anyone you can count on to keep you motivated, and feel safe telling your weight to it is THIS group!!

Hey Lisa - To add a friend just double click on the persons picture and it'll bring you to their page, thats when you choose "send a message" or "invite as friend" and you're done :) They won't go on your "friends" list until they accept you! Hope this helps!! Would love the support as well!

Keep up the GREAT work - those 5:30a.m. wake up calls are NOT easy :) I've been waking up then to get my workouts in this week too, because I don't have any other time during the day!!

OH - Also I joined the "High Heels and Fishnets" thread - It's a weight loss challenge, with little mini challenges each week. Weigh in every friday, and go along with the challenges they throw our way - SO amazing, I'd suggest to any of you trying to look for the motivation and accountability to join this thread! :)

Hey Lisa, My name is Candice, I'm 26 and I have a son who is 3 and although I'm not a "new" mommy, I'm STILL working off the weight I gained while I was pregnant, as well as some extra. I have vowed never to use the "I just had a baby" excuse again (and YES I have used this excuse recently). I have tried different diets,…

HAPPY FRIDAY ladies!! :heart: Today's THE day, went to the gym this morning for my PT session (and of course weigh in) so here it is: SW: 171lbs CW: 168.5lbs *GO ME* I actually smiled m jumped up and down like a child at the gym when I had to change the weight from 171 - GREAT way to start off the weekend! GW: 125lbs…

Hey Heather – Just wondering if YOUR challenge is on a different thread?? Or is it just an extension of this one? (I haven’t seen anything in the posts). If it's different, whats the name so I can find it? The sound of getting my *kitten* exercising 4 times before Monday, and any other challenges you have up your sleeve,…

So whats a good ratio for me as a woman, not looking to get bulky, or gain weight, just get the protein I need?

WOW - these replies are great and you got back to me so quickly! Thank you! I agree that getting protein as often is a good thing, but my trouble is with the powder I don’t feel as if I’m satisfied, and don’t feel that sense of being “fuller”. I LOVE the idea of having milk and chocolate powder after a work out . . . I…

I am SO in – Today is my first day joining MFP, and this is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you Shredder for posting this . . . . it’s like it was meant to be :happy: I joined this site hoping that I would find others who had the same goals as me, and would help keep me accountable, and provide the support I need to achieve…
