Check-in Post for Week of July 13th to July 19th, 2014
We had my brothers-in-law visiting this weekend. It was nice! We rarely get visitors, and we enjoyed being able to prepare for dinner for guests and just hang out and have a couple drinks. FYI: It's been soooo long since I've actually done any drinking that two beers knocks me on my *kitten*! Not necessarily a bad thing,…

Check-In Post for Those Still Participating!
Hi, all! I know I have been MIA for the past couple of months, but my family has been beyond busy and I just haven't had time to do anything for myself! I'm lucky to be able to still log in! That being said, I was delighted to hear some are still participating! I was alerted to the fact that no one could find the…

Weekly Goals Post for Week of July 13th to July 19th, 2014
Since setting weekly goals worked out so well last week, I thought maybe we would make it a permanent thing. So what are your goals for this week?

Check-in Post for Week of July 6th to July 12th, 2014
Good morning, good morning! How are you all?! I am well, I think. We survived the storm this weekend with nothing more than a garbage can blowing down the parking lot and intermittent internet, so there's that. I was not active in the group last week because I lost my pedometer and couldn't find the stupid thing ANYWHERE!…

Check-in Post for Week of June 29th to July 5th, 2014
Good morning, all - I am BACK! What a frustrating week. I could log in on MFP all week, but couldn't post anything. The worst part was I felt like I was letting all of you down, some Sunday morning! I'm really REALLY hoping it doesn't happen again, but MFP assures me it shouldn't. Here are our current numbers: 865.93…

Check-in Post for Week of June 15th to June 21st, 2014
Good morning, all! What a day yesterday was! I woke up Friday afternoon at 2:30 pm, stayed up all day, and then went to work. Saturday morning I didn't go to bed when I got home because I had promised to take the kids to a monthly workshop that didn't start until 10 am. We went to the workshop and came home, but by then I…

Bucket List (Goal Setting)
Justin, the kids, and I sat down tonight and started putting together a bucket list of things we would like to do this Summer. I have decided to do one for myself as well with health goals, among other things. Are you setting any Summer goals or creating a bucket list? What are some things you are including?

June 13th, 2014
Happy Friday the 13th! So earlier in the week I was asked to work a 10 day stretch, starting last Sunday until next Wednesday, which would include 1 OT shift and a 4 day weekend at the end. I jumped at it! The next day, I was told that the information I had been given was wrong. The shift was from last Sunday to Thursday…

June 14th, 2014
G'day! Feeling very tired this morning, but trying to fight it because I don't want to spend my only day off this week sleeping. Ugh. Here are today's numbers: 488.5 miles/786.17 kilometers What are your plans for the day?
-
July 12th, 2014
Good evening, all! I hope you're having a fantastic day. It was sunny and warm here, but I slept through it. Do you have any idea how exhausting it is to count hundreds of fake flowers for 8 hours?! That's what I did at work last night (we're a week away from inventory and we are prepping), and then I barely got in the…

Hot, Hot, Summer!
How do you keep yourself from overheating when you work out in the Summer?

Wow! Look at us go! In a week we've traveled: 244.81 miles/393.98 kilometers! What was your biggest personal challenge this week? Did you find it difficult to stay on track? How did you keep yourself motivated? What was your biggest triumph?

June 7th, 2014
Good evening, good evening...Or rather, good morning, for those of you who keep regular daytime hours. How's your weekend going so far? Mine is short this week, as I picked up an extra shift. So I am going to do my best to enjoy today as much as I can before heading back to work tomorrow night. Without further adieu...our…

What Counts?
I've been asked this question by a couple of people, so I wanted to get your input. I already think any type of movement that would normally move you from one place to another works, like running, walking, biking, etc., but what about our every day movements? Should we be able to wear our pedometers all day/night and count…

June 4th, 2014
:drinker: Good morning, all! I hope the sun is shining where you are as it is here. I called in sick to work last night to give my back a little more rest time and it seems to have done me some good because I feel a little better this morning. I am still not engaging in my abs exercises, but I will be going for a walk…

June 3rd, 2014
I'm sorry it took me so long to post today. I came home from work this morning and went right to bed because I was so tired. I hurt my back somehow and it's really draining me. As a result, I am not walking far today nor doing my abs exercises. It sucks, but I don't want to injure myself further. That being said, I am…

June 2nd, 2014
Not a bad start yesterday! Total distance traveled (between members from both the FB page and the MFP group): 21.71 miles or 34.94 kilometers.

New, Old Member
Hi, all! I used to belong to this group under a different name (CdnPgnMom). I was living in Winnipeg at the time & was working for a cab company overnight. Last year I moved to PEI where I was on EI for a bit (for a MUCH needed break!) and then I was doing shift work. That being said, I am now on overnights again. But…

How do you stay full?
My husband finally agreed to try and start working towards a healthy lifestyle to lose some weight. He is currently just over 340lbs so his MFP calorie goal is 2460 after the deficit. Our biggest issue is that we can't seem to fill him up! He earned almost 600 calories from exercise yesterday and still ate over 3500! He…

Crockpot Cooking Question
I love using the slow cooker in the Fall/Winter. I am finding, however, that it is difficult to determine serving size when cooking with this method. For instance, the other night I did a pork rib roast with sweet potatoes & apples. After cooking, you remove the pork from the pot then scoop out potatoes and apples to mash…

ScatterBrainedSpirit's September Accountability
Up until June of this year I lived in Winnipeg where I ran a Healthy Living Group called North End Losers. We would meet twice a week and work out together while staying in contact the rest of the week via My Fitness Pal. It really was a wonderful experience for me in many ways. Up until this time, I had been stuck in my…
