Today's challenge is: Eat those fruits and/or veggies! Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Compared with people who consume a diet with only small amounts of fruits and vegetables, those who eat more generous amounts as part of a healthful…

~*Challenge Chatter 2/6- 2/12*~

~*Weekly Challenge* ~ Week of 1/30-2/5
This weeks challenge is simple. I want each of us to make a list of things we want to accomplish by changing our lifestyles. Almost like a bucket list for weight loss (or gain!) and getting in shape. So post your list here. I'll sticky this at the end of the week and then we can all come back whenever we wish and post when…

~*Challenge Chatter*~ Day 1-7
Here's where we can chatter about our days and how we are doing :)

What motivates you?
I gain a lot of motivation and encouragement from success stories that mirror my own journey. Also watching my children grow makes me want to be as healthy as I can to live to see them through as many years as I can. What motivates you?

CoTD: 2/1/2012
Today's challenge of the day is: Take time for you! We all get busy. Work, errands, kid's sports, meetings... the list goes on and on. Some days we just forget that we need time for us too. So today I want you to take just 15 minutes for yourself. Do whatever you want for just those 15. Read a book, knit/crochet, take a…

What to do when you are sick?
I've been sick for 5 days. I've been trying to stick to my calories and was doing great with exercise, except the last 2 days I have had no energy. I feel hungry-ish, but I'm not sure if I'm truly hungry or just sick and bored. What do you do when you are sick?

I have 4 beautiful children ages 5.5, almost 4, 2, and 8 months. I also have an awesome hard working husband who is very supportive, albiet, a little confused when…

Today's challenge of the day is: Eat This, Not That! Try to trade up some of your foods today for better choices, or look for ways to make your favorite high calorie snacks and meals into a healthy, calorie manageable treat!

What's on the Menu?
Here's the place to post your favorite recipes or just your everyday what you are eating. I know sometimes have eater's block when it comes to making meals. So it would be nice to have a place to get some inspiration!

~*Chit-Chat Thread*~ 1/31/2012
I made it through yesterday :) Still have this cold, but I'm not letting it keep me down. I found out I might actually have a chance to start working on getting some college done. I just have to find a way to get all the information and transcripts they want. My three year old had a fit this morning and I felt sooo bad for…

Chit Chat Thread 1/29/2012
Seriously? It's 2012 and January is already almost over? Life passes me by some days all to quickly. Today I'm feeling rough. I caught whatever cold my mother-in-law has (we live with her) and its kicking my tushy. I'm being good though. I'm not giving in to the temptation to eat junk just because I'm sick. My…

~Chit Chat Thread~ 1/30/2012
Today is a rough day for me. It's my beautiful older daughter's 2nd birthday. It's the 3 year anniversary of my mother's death (yes I gave birth to my daughter exactly 1 year after she passed.) I also gained a little from the last few days of overages. Its a bummy day. I'm trying to keep my head about me and not let it get…

Ideas on what you'd like to see? Post here!
I know for me I like to have big goals and little goals. The big goals are my focus, but the little goals give me that warm fuzy feeling when I meet them and keep me going. What sort of challenges would you like to see happen here? What do you want to accomplish?

Challenge of the day (COTD) 1/29/2012
Today the challenge is to: Drink your water! Is water important? Well let’s see, other than making up 50%-60% of our bodies, regulating body temperature, helping our breathing, transporting nutrients, carrying away waste and helping our muscles function, water is pretty much useless. Oh, and you need water or, after three…

I need a challenge!
I need a challenge and some motivated friends to help me stick to my guns. I'm 7 lbs down and truckin' but I'm not finding any challenges I either fit into, aren't on a schedule of when they start and when they stop, or not very active in posting. I'm very chatty and like to be in constant contact with people (more than…

Welcome!
I created this group with one thing in mind. I want to FINALLY be able to reach my goals. I'm tired of the excuses and floundering. I need support. I know there are others out there like me. Let's join together and make this the beginning of our healthier lives!

Howdy :)
Just joined MFP because I found the app on my phone :) I used Sparkpeople a few years ago to help me lose baby weight after my youngest son was born. Didn't like their app as much ;) So here I am. My name is Sarah. I'm 5'2 and 227 lbs as of this morning. I am a mom to 4 beautiful children, 2 boys (5.5 and almost 4) and 2…
