Well since my weigh day works for you, here's my first official weigh in. :) Name/ real name: Shadowkitty22/Emilie Current Weight: 268.6 Challenge Goal Weight: 243 04/09: 268.8 04/16: 265.6 04/23: 04/30: 05/07: <<<mini goal weight 258>>> 05/14: 05/21: 05/28: 06/04: <<<mini goal weight 250>>> 06/11: 06/18: 06/25: 07/02:…

So my official weigh in days for MFP has always been first thing Friday morning (that way I've got all week to work off any potential bad eating I might do on the weekend) and I was wondering if I could just post my new weight on Friday morning for the upcoming Monday morning weigh in or if you would like me to wait and…

For me it's mainly the cost. You have to buy the uniform, which isn't cheap, and then there's the monthly price. If you then add in the fact that my husband only wants to do some super obscure form of martial arts whose name I can't even remember, it then makes it even harder to do it. Here in Korea there's Tae Kwon Do…

Gives a whole new meaning to "joined at the hip." Haha

My HRM was giving me wildly different numbers 3-4 times the amount as everything else! So I returned it to get a different one because it just seemed really odd to me. I'm hoping that the other one works out better.

Oh I hated Texas (not even sometimes) for the first 21 years of my life. Then I moved away to the lovely land of New Mexico with its mountains, dry heat, no humidity and actual 4 seasons instead of just hot, hot, hot and 2 weeks of cool. Now unfortunately the military is sending us back to Texas but I'm hoping it will be…

I eat steel cut oatmeal and add in 1 oz of fresh blueberries about 5 minutes through the cooking process and let it cook for another 5. Then when it's done cooking on the stove I add 1 packet of splenda just for a little more sweetness. This way I get some good whole grains and fiber with a touch of fresh fruit. I've been…

Biggest calves in the post so far....19.5"! So all you ladies that have been told that your 14" calves are big have been lied to. Haha

I honestly don't get complimented enough by anyone to have a most common compliment. But the most recent one I've received is that I'm such an inspiration because every time she sees me I'm always out exercising and trying to be healthier.

I'm awake and it's 4:15 in the afternoon.

I tend to go with the cooked weight because it's just what I do and it hasn't seem to hurt my weight loss any.

I have lost right around a dozen Kripsy Kreme donuts sitting on a cinder block.

If I walked that many miles in a day I would proclaim myself as active.

So yeah...I'm a gleek so my iPod has a lot of Glee covers. But the first songs that pop up on my exercise playlist in shuffle are: Empire State of Mind - Glee Cast Golddigger - Glee Cast Teenage Dream - Katy Perry California Girls - Katy Perry Bleed it Out - Linkin Park Born This Way - Glee Cast (the Lady Gaga version is…

This will be an interesting challenge for me to see if I can keep up with seeing as how I have a big (as in INTERNATIONAL) move coming up in less than 60 days. But here's my stats as of right now: Emilie CW 270.8 GW in 12 weeks 244

Absolutely NOTHING! But that's because I use the fitness center at the Air Force base here and it's all free. It's 24 hours, has various classes (most are not at times that work for me though) and is also staffed 24 hours a day.

I think it's more of if you feel comfortable with the amount of calories that it gives you to eat each day. Obviously if you drop your weight loss setting down to 1/2 a pound you're going to get more calories back to eat each day. I know that I'm currently set for 2 pounds a week (but that's because I'm obese and have the…

I believe I've only wiped down the physical door itself when someone got sick and some throw up landed on it (gross I know). I do however attack the doorknobs and various other surfaces with Lysol wipes whenever people in the house get sick since they're commonly touched household objects that can easily and unknowingly…

Your first photo doesn't work but you look great in the second (and quite honestly a lot like a former coworker of mine from a few years ago haha).

No orgasms during exercise for me (yet) but I often find myself very worked up after a trip to the gym and often have to jump my husband when he gets home. He doesn't seem to mind. :wink: Haha

I haven't and wouldn't look forward to doing so but if I did, I'm sure I could just load up my husband's army gear and give it a go.

I drink water with Mio flavoring (0 calories, 0 fat, 0 sugar, just flavor) in my Camelback water bottle so I get 3-4 8 oz glasses at a time. I make sure to drink an entire bottle with my morning and afternoon snacks and then a bottle while working out as well, even if I'm only working out for 30 minutes. That way I get…

Thanks to the woman that mentioned Kegels because I always forget to do them until someone mentions them and then I immediately start up with them. Haha

Oh how I'd love to have 15" biceps. To have lost 3.5" on them would be awesome! But that's what I get for having a lot of underarm flab. :( I don't really measure my progress with anything other than the scale because I'm so overweight that the number on the scale is the only way I'm really going to see it right now.…

My husband and I have tried various flavors of Muscle Milk and I personally prefer the Vanilla Creme (and if I remember correctly but don't hold me to it since it's been over a year since I've had this next flavor) Cookies & Creme. But it's 150 calories, 6g fat, 9g carbs and 16g protein per scoop.

For my body (which is a large 5'5" frame) I know that 120 would be way too thin. I'm personally aiming for 150 right now even though I know that's bordering right on the line between being healthy and being overweight. I figure once I get there I can re-evaluate to see if I want to weigh less or if I just need to look…

I've lost 26 pounds so far and I don't believe any of it has come from my breasts. But even if it did, I know for a fact that I would have saggy boobs since they're already saggy at a 42DD and have been for years. Hell they were saggy before I even had kids! I wouldn't mind them being smaller though, like a C cup.

I'm a Camelbak fan as well. I've got the 24 oz and it fits in every cup holder I've ever encountered. My husband's 1L bottle however does not. It wouldn't fit in the cup holder of our son's stroller or in the cup holder on my elliptical. My daughter has a 16 oz one and loves it. The bite valves are replaceable for when…
