Amazing Amazons - Round 1
Well, I took the leap ladies and started us a thread! So perhaps people can decide whether it's a specific number or a percentage during the challenge. And how long? I do think weekly weigh-ins are a good plan... Shall we start a roll-call? Name Challenge Goal PedalHound - 5lbs Looking forward to it ladies :bigsmile:

Back On The Wagon - New group??
Hey MFPers! I've been on this site for 18 months and have had QUITE the ride. I was a prize student my first 5 months and was doing quite well. I trained for and ran a half marathon in 2009 but the training process managed to contribute to a SERIOUS eventual slide in my nutrition and eating habits. (Such intense training…

Mango Yogurt Protein Popsicles
My kiddos and I whipped up a batch of tasty and healthy popsicles that I wanted to share (perfect post-workout snack!): blend together - 1 cup fat free plain yogurt (organic is best to avoid additives!) - 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder - 2 Tablespoons agave nectar then gently pulse in 1 heaping cup chopped fresh mango…

RUNNING!!!
Well my fellow MFPers, I've looked so forward to writing this post. Last year I lost 50lbs. This year I've been maintaining (between heavy training for running that left me having to chose between being fueled for workouts or still losing weight and also a bit of complacency). Last October I decided I'd give one last shot…

50 lbs in 6 months!
I began my journey to a healthier self and started MFP all in the same day. June 8th of this year, 1 day shy of 6 months ago. I was amazed by how easy it was to follow the numbers, create even healthier meals and actually eat regularly throughout the day! I have two young children ages 4 and almost 2 and I wasn't eating…

Sixers Holiday Challenge - Week 2
Well, I thought I'd get us started since I'm up and lots of you will be up in only a handfull of hours.

BEST meal in a long time!) 3:…

For those who are just beginning...
Well, I've been on MFP for 5 months now. We're having a family emergency today so it's a rough one and I decided I'd write a post on here to help focus on some of the amazing things I've done. (My Father-in-law had a massive heart attack today and is critical. This really hammers home the value of HEALTH.) 5 months ago I…

Twenty Pound Somethings Week 13 (Final Week!)
I thought I'd get it started now so everyone has something to look for in the morning (since I'm on the West Coast). I'll fill in my stats in the a.m. when I *gulp* check-in. Honestly my goal after the ridiculously bad week I've had is that I've maintained. I'll be REALLY stoked if that's the case! I'm kind of expecting a…
-
politics?!
So, there's no point to this post other than to rant. I love MFP and I'm always very happy here. I find I can avoid the topics that I know will make me crazy, and participate in ones I care to. I get that people have a right to voice their ideas and opinions but I just have to say that I find it annoying when people parade…
-
opinions from the pros please!
So, I've been plugging away at this for 3 months and things are going well. But I've noticed that since my calories have been in the mid to low 1200 range (and MFP is now giving me 1200 a day) my loss has really slowed down. My weight is more so hovering now and I'm wondering how many of you who have had a fair bit to lose…

30. YEAH!
YESSS!! Today I get to celebrate the loss of 30 lbs. THIRTY POUNDS!!! I began on June 8th of this year and I'm so happy with this progress :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: It's a perk I needed as my morale has felt sloppy the last couple of weeks. 30 lbs is SOMETHING though. And I'm only 5lbs from my half way point :noway:

My first before & in progress photos
Well, I finally got up the courrage to post my first before pic. That was hard to do! This was a couple of years ago but still totally accurate. They're in my profile. The one where I'm wearing the black tank top and holding my daughter is my 'before'. My first "after in progress" pic is me wearing purple pants & brown…

I'm getting somewhere
So, I'm posting this for myself in hopes of boosting my own morale about my day. Two quick and poorly-planned out choices have left me way over on cals for the day and feeling sluggish and generally awful. SOOOOO.... I wanted to post to remind myself of the fact that I'm actually doing well and getting somewhere! When I…

Oh yeah - 25 baby!
I'm so excited! I hit the 25lb lost mark today!! In 11.1lbs I'm half way to my goal. 11lbs doesn't seem like nearly what it did at the start :laugh: Woohoo! I'm so happy! And I've lost at least a dozen inches too YESSSS!! :bigsmile:

fun burn
So, we all know that putting on some tunes and boogying around is a good way to burn some extra cals and have some fun. I just wanted to remind everyone of that. I was getting ready to make supper and looking for some dancing music. I popped in my Whitney Huston 'It's not right but it's ok' dance remix - my personal club…

hmm. Opinions?
So, for the last week or so I've been suddenly finding it a lot tougher to stay within my calories. I haven't ever had this problem and I'm interested in some opinions! My calories have decreased by almost 50 since just over a week ago which doesn't sound like much but seems to make a difference to me. However, it's also…

dang.
So, I've been waiting to try the Tae Bo advanced work out. I just finished it and burned 613 calories in 58 minutes. That was a freakin amazing work out!! Loved it!
