Sounds like what I need, just getting back on MFP to meet my fitness goals - send friend request.

Is it too late to join? My name is: Charlene Starting Weight: 178 Starting body pic: Goal Weight: 135 Overall What you plan on doing: Cardio /4x week and Weight training /3x week Your motivation: I have gained about 50 lbs over the past five years and don't want to keep putting it off. Need some friends for motivation and…

I started it once before with some co-workers and it kicked my butt. I used to work out pretty extensively, but since the birth of my daughter I've gotten out of shape. I am going to try it, but I heard the slim in 6 is pretty good and their Insanity program is good. P90x is pretty extreme so I am gonna try to keep up.

Hi Holly, I am also a single mom from Detroit area and in the same boat. Just took dad to court for child support and Wayne county is a joke. But anywho, I find it hard to stay motivated and keep at it with my workouts with so much other stuff going on. Lets keep each other motivated :-) Good Luck

Thank you guys so much.

oh sorry. I was having soup today I bought from Wal-mart and while entering the calories on mfp I noticed that on the bottom of the label it says "based on a 2000 calorie diet". I guess I was wondering if the label was really accurate or not. It's probably not that big of a deal - just wondering. Thanks

How do you accurately count calories when it says based on a 2000 calorie intake diet? I am not sure if the value of calories per serving changes, but I am on a 1200 calorie diet with extra through exercise and I just wondered and I accurately counting. thanks a lot

I agree - Eating out kills my diet. I was just logging my calories and the Denny's French Toast Slam is 1168 calories :-( Luckily I didn't eat all of it (only half) :smile: There should be a law against a meal that is 1100 calories all by itself. sheeze :angry:

you look great. I just posted my before pics - hopefully I will be down before my trip to Jamaica :wink: Keep up the good work!

Good luck - this site has really helped me stay on track and be accountable for what I eat and working out. I wish you well.

Awesome, I understand those obstacles. Seems like every time I get on a good roll life intervenes. Keep up the good work and stick to it. :wink:

Happy Birthday!

Brighton, MI checking in from work. About 43 degrees last time I checked. Will summer ever come? :flowerforyou:

Thanks so much, I don't want to get big. Just want to lose without the flab.

The scale is evil :angry: - I go for once a week, but I try to keep track of my measurements more so because the scale can be deceiving.

Good for you! I've had a long week already and its only hump day :sad:

Hello again, I have been doing resistance (weight training) three times a week and cardio for 45 minutes 5 times a week - should i be focusing more on cardio to lose weight or weights? :ohwell:

Make sure you get your proper nutrients. I was dieting while weaning and I suffered a few deficiencies from not eating properly causing joint problems. As soon as I started taking vitamins again and eating right I felt much better. Keep taking your vitamins and eat healthy filling choices and you should be fine.

I will be a hot 43 year old with a six pack married with 1 kid :wink: Oh yea riding my motorcycle with my hair blowing in the wind.

:sad: my 6 month old and I have been sick for the past four days and I am trying to get back in the swing of things - should I just take the rest of week off and start again next week or try to savage whats left of this one? Trying to stay motivated... Thanks

Good for you! That takes dedication.I know how hard it is to turn down fatty food at work :drinker:

Hi Abby, Just ending my first week. Hang in there. :wink:

Hi, I am new as well and this site i find has helped me most with planning my meals and monitoring my calories. Good luck on your fitness goals. :happy:

I joined on Monday and been working hard at preparing my meals and exercising everyday, but with a 6 month old I am exhausted. Any suggestions on keeping energy levels up and staying motivated?

Congrats !!!!! :flowerforyou:

Welcome, I am new as well. Just joined today. Just keep at it.

I really love this site already. Just starting to work out again from having first baby girl. Hopefully, I can get my figure back. 25 lbs to go :-)
