Thanks, everyone! Some really great ideas in there that I definitely hadn't thought of :) Just what I needed! Thanks!!!

How about: Good health is in the bag hehe I'll keep thinking :)

I would say that if you have really no gym experience, it'd be a good way to break yourself in gently :) BUT - please, make sure that you have a trainer or other staff member show you how to properly use the machines and get the seats in the right place, etc. Yeah, most of them are self-explanatory, but better be safe than…

We definitely have some similar challenges - little ones (my youngest is 19 months old), and my ultimate goal is also 100 lbs. I'll send you a request :)

Hope it's not too late to sign up for this challenge! I need to get myself back on track, and I do believe this will help! Your starting weight for November: 255.5 Your personal goal for November: 247.5 (that's my first mini goal of 25 lbs, and I get my first reward, wootwoot) Your personal self-challenge for November: I…

I just joined last month, and I feel like setting goals as part of an August challenge helped me meet them...so here we go for September! :) SW for September: 258.5 Personal goal for September: 247.5 (total 25 lbs from SW) Your personal self-challenge for September: continue tracking, keep up water intake (3-4 water…

Thanks for starting another challenge, Mandi! I'm going to wait until I weigh in for the last time in August, and give some thought to my personal challenge for the month. I've met my August challenge, though - so that's awesome :)

Just wanted to check in - I've managed to achieve all of my weekly goals so far (more water, tracking, back to the gym, and starting C25K). I'm down 10 lbs, so only 2.5 more lbs to get to my August goal! Hope others are having a successful challenge!

Started yesterday - feel free to friend me if you want to go through the journey together! :)

I was having a similar problem - and discovered that, after you choose "add ingredient", when the search interface pops up, choose the option for "name" rather than "relevance." I find that it is much easier to then scan the list for either my particular brand name, or often better yet, the NON-ASTERISK'd option. That's…

Glad there are some others out there that want to start tomorrow and/or are early on in the process :) Look for some friend requests! :) Good luck to everyone!!

Thanks for these photos - tremendous inspiration!! I have at least 100 lbs to lose, and just started, so it's AWESOME to see the difference!

Hey everyone! I had been weighing in on Fridays, but I actually forgot this morning (!) with everything else that's going on here (son woke up not feeling well, etc.) - so, I'd been thinking of weighing in on Mondays anyway, since that's when I started on MFP. So...Monday it is! I've done well (until today!) of getting to…

Hi everyone! Just wanted to check in....I do get on the scale each morning, though I try to tell myself not to....it's going in the right direction, which is a great thing! I completed my mini-goal last week, which was to keep up with tracking on MFP and take in all the water I was supposed to. This week, my mini-goal is…

Checking in - today was my weigh-in day, and I'm happy to report: SW (8/1): 272.5 CW (8/5): 267.5 Yay! Excited to be 5 lbs down, and headed toward both my August goal and my total goal! I've done very well with the water and tracking this week. My mini-week goal for next week is to head back to the gym, now that I have the…

Checking in for today - day 3 - check! :) Got in all my water and kept up with tracking... Goal 2 for August is to start going back to the gym. That starts Monday. Trying to get myself psyched up for that... I don't think I'd decided on an official weigh-in day yet, but I think I'm going to go with Friday. Then I have a…

I have her Chicken Tikka Masala on the menu for later this week! I'm excited to try it. We've had the Spinach Lasagna Rolls, and they were a hit at my house. I LOVED the Asian Glazed Drumsticks - absolutely delicious with rice and steamed broccoli. A friend of mine recommended it to me - she's tried a number of the…

I'm certainly no expert, but I've read and heard that allowing yourself a meal (some people even say a day's worth of meals) that you really enjoy actually HELPS you in the end because you aren't depriving yourself of something you really love. I'm with you - this measuring cereal and milk thing stinks :) I really want…

Congrats! I'm so glad to hear your story...I wear a 44G or H, depending on the brand, and by golly, I've been up and down 30 lbs from where I am, and THEY'VE NEVER CHANGED. Ugh. Sooooo glad to hear that maybe, if I keep working at it, they'll eventually go, too! :) WTG! :)

Thanks everyone! I'd been logging it all, and just wanted to see what others do :)

Wow - everyone is doing such a great job :) Yaaaaay! I did a good job with my goals for this week - tracking and water intake. I know it's only day one, but hey, I'll celebrate every little victory along the way ;) Keep it up, everyone!

Excellent! I just started today, so I was hoping to find something open! Yay! Starting weight - 272.5 August goal - down to 260 Personal goals for August (sorry, I have more than one!) Week 1 - track every day and be sure to drink enough water Week 2 - head back to the gym - go M-F Week 3 - start c25k Week 4 - maintain all…
