Hi,
I started dieting about 4 years ago and I have lost my weight in increments and have never
gain any back. 4 years ago I weighed in at 190 lbs. I'm a woman and 5'3" :-(( Using the
SouthBeach diet I lost 22 lbs and kept it off. 2 years ago I joined a weight loss
challenge in January and lost 20 more lbs. That time I researched foods that were
considered "fat burning" and ate those. At one time I thought 148 was my goal, however,
I would like to lose 20 more lbs. I turn 45 this year and would like to to this by my
birthday. Very lofty, since my Birthday is at the end of February.
I joined this group because I have been running through my weight loss program. I have
completed 7 half marathons and 2 fulls. In addition to weight loss goals, I also have
running goals as well so I thought these would go hand in hand.
Happy New Year and Good Luck!
Kitti
Kitti, you are amazing. I am so happy for your success and the way that you challenge yourself. You are an inspiration to me. Please tell me more about the "fat burning" foods that you ate? Did it work? Did you notice a big difference? Was it the BeyondDiet.Com product?
Week #1
Hi to all, I am new to the group. I was a regular exerciser, who has fallen off of the wagon. I began Livestrong 2 days ago, and am finding it very helpful. I hope to check in as much as possible to give encouragment and receive it. I have lost 100 pounds twice. I am now 54 years old and, honestly, too tired to do this again, but my weight is up 15 pounds, This is what eating whatever one wants, without exercising can do, I can see where I am going., and I must make a solid change NOW. My goal is 2 miles a day, and maybe 4 or 5 miles on Saturday and Sunday. So, I am going to attempt a 20 mile week, (which used to be standard) I go back to work tomorrow, so I will have to get up at 5:00 to make this happen. I also have a visiting son who is sleeping on the pull out couch next to my treadmill. Here is to a successful day for everyone! Blessings, Wynne

please post comments and replies...
I am starting my usual spring clean-up...last year my goal was 60 pounds lost; this year my goal is 46...so that's a good sign. I am SLOWLY doing better and staying better. I like this blog because everyone enters what they need/want to do and it's encouraging to me. I would like it better, though, if this year people could post more replies to each other. Instead of just putting in your goal each month and then disappearing until next month, can you stop in once in a while and add something? It would help me, I know. I plan to visit this blog about once a week.
40 miles for January - 2 miles/day 5x each week
I really NEED to stick to this goal. I can...no reason at all that I can't do it. Just a matter of whether or not I will. It's really that simple. Will I be lazy or will I work hard?
Happy New Year
I went for a pole hike today so I know I burned more than this shows since LStrong does not have this as an option. However, any good it did is nullified by the homemade Chicago Style Pizza we made. Party tonight!
But at least you worked to counteract the calories in your pizza and now you can enjoy yourself and have fun! =)

First Day Here
I am new and this group sounded really cool. I want to make my goal 600 minutes for January, and start out relatively small. I'm not quite sure how to track.
You track your minutes in the myplate tool. You can add fitness just like you add food. Just click on the fitness tab instead of the food tab. Hope this helps!

Hi, I am new. My goal is 50 miles for the month of January. :)

5.3 on Treadmill yesterday and 5 on elliptical today.
Get Moving!
posted by Rainiergirl on 8:29 am
I love this challenge, and clearly need a goal to keep me motivated. Last summer, at age 40, I ran my first ever half marathon, and climbed to 11,300 feet on my attempt to summit Mt. Rainier. Since then, I've completely stopped exercising and have gained a considerable amount of weight. This looks like a great group to help inspire and jump start my exercise routine.

Hi Janel, I have been watching to see if you are back on track and have not noticed anything new from you. I have also gained weight and am quite miserable. I am really inspired by the 100 mile a month goal. I visualize myself where I want to be on my birthday in June while I am walking on the treadmill. I made up an inspirational poster out of a sheet of paper that states what my goals are and put it above my treadmill. Since it is dark when I start to walk on the treadmill, I can't see the paper until the sun comes up. By the time I am nearly finished with my workout, in the light of day, I can see my goals clearly written on a piece of paper. Find a way to inspire yourself; a picture of Mt. Rainer (my the way, I am really jealous of that accomplishment) or the number you wore on during your half marathon. Like your subject line states, "Get Moving!" Glenda

Didn't post yesterday, but I was able to get in a good 50 minutes of yoga,haven't did yoga for a long time but I would really like to do a minimum of yoga once a week. Today the sun was shining so beautifully so I took the dog for a 2mile walk.
