This makes 15 for me on the challenge and 18 total overall. With less than 5 weeks left it's going to be close......
At this point I'm adding back an additional 50 calories a day for every 2.5 pounds I lose which is going to slow things down, but I hope to be within 50~100 of my maintenance calories when I reach my goal so I hopefully won't have a huge flux to play around with like a sudden 200~300 a day and can just ease into it LOL. (You do know what they say about the best laid plans, but I'm hopeful it's going to work for me
)
Shirley, I sure hope they get your water fixed soon! What a thing to come home to
Hey Faye, try looking at Canoeing/Rowing ~ moderate. I saw values for canoeing and kayaking a few weeks ago because we got kayaks at Christmas. Canoeing showed a higher calorie burn so I would think it may be similar? Love watching the Dragonboat races they have here in June
I'm going to have to come back to get caught up on everyone's posts

Misscaligreen and Cristina - WAY TO GO! So happy for you both, and we will continue on with the Fit for the Fourth challenge!
I am getting a Nutribullet for my birthday and I can't wait to start making smoothies! I am going to get the book you recommended, Christina - I could make the 20lb mark if they work as well for me as they did for you
Shirley, I continue to hope that your situation is fixed post haste!
Faye, thanks for the explanation - that sounds like amazing fun and I can imagine it would be hard to find a calorie burn comparison for that!
Belinda0 -
congrats to all of you losers!! amazing job for those that have lost 20!! I agree any goal feels great to hit. I tweaked my diet a bit this week and feel so much better!! hoping for a loss! will check in on weigh in day:)

Speaking of which, my husband found a great deal so got me my birthday present super early tonight: the complete Ninja kitchen system. I'm so excited! It includes the Nutribullet style bottle that fits on to the blender motor so you can make single serve or to-go smoothies. I've been wanting a food processor for a long time, so I'm really happy to have one now! I can make hummus and soups and banana "ice cream", so many healthy possibilities!I am getting a Nutribullet for my birthday and I can't wait to start making smoothies!
Belinda
Btw your quilt is so nice! I admire people who can sit down and make one. Very cool.

Good morning little angels
What an exciting day yesterday wit all the 20 lbs or so very close to it. Just proved It can be done.
Wish I could tell you I am close to But the truth is I am not even close to it
I recorded my weight on happy Scale. com this morning I finally decide I need to face the music. It told me I have gain 2.2 in the last 7 days.Been having a little problems working being on 2 plans. the 1-1-1- and the gluten free plan. But do think I am getting it all together now.. The gluten free plan is working just fine. I have not had any guts problem in over 3 weeksThankfull for that But now got to work on the weight problems
.
Have a good day.
we can do it.Marie0 -

Nice to see everyone in good spirits.
I just returned home from working in the DC area. I really enjoyed being in there. While I was there I was able to drop over 20 lbs (since Dec)! I bought a Fitbit to track my activity and did a lot of reading on getting healthy. So far it has paid off. I just hope that I am able to continue to loose weight while I'm home.
Yesterday, my sister and I worked out together at the gym. We attended a bootcamp class. It was a very good workout and our plan is to meet all this week at the gym (directly from work). She is motivated by my success so far. I have been gone for 4months and I'm pleasantly surprised that she and my coworkers even noticed! I thought it wasn't noticeable at all.
I have 30 more lbs to loose to get to my goal weight and I think she wants to loose about 50 more. I'm hoping to reach my ultimate goal by my birthday in July.
Anyway, even though I came home to snow and ice, its nice to be home!
Congrats Cristina :-)0 -

Good morning, losers! Happy Tuesday!
A big SHOUTOUT to those who have met the 20 pound loss! I'm soooo proud of you guys! Keep up the fabulous work! You are an inspiration to the rest of us.
Belinda..the quilt is absolutely gorgeous! I wish I knew how to do that. I know your son will treasure it!
Marie..can't you still do 1:1:1 with just the carbs being gluten free? Or is the gluten plan a lot different?
Ladies.. Let us know how those Nutribullets and Ninjas work out. I have an old one I have not used in a while. Maybe it's time to pull it out.
Today is my weigh day, and the scale moved .04 pounds. I'm taking it!
I am not expecting to make 20 since my total is 11 pounds lost as of today. Hopefully, I can lose a pound or two before the challenge is over.
Have a great day, everyone. I'll check back later.
Stay strong! Connie 0 -

Well done on the 11lbs Connie
I know I am not going to make 20lbs myself, but I am here for the long haul and I am happy with the lifestyle changes I am making :-)
Good job everyone!

Good morning and happy Tuesday! Snowing again in good old Michigan, but the temperature is in the 20's right now and supposed to get to a high of 39 today - woohoo!
Marie, I called you our Angel Mama and you are that - keeping us all headed in the right direction
Congratulations Graybon and everyone else who has hit 20 or are on the doorstep! Ray, your Ninja system sounds like a dream, and making homemade hummus would be a treat for sure. I just recently discovered it and don't know how I missed it all my life, but I have some just about every day in my spinach salad.
Marie, you asked about the Red Wings. They are an NHL hockey team, like the Dallas Stars. The Detroit Red Wings are one of the Original Six teams that made up the league at the very beginning. Our family loves the team, and have had season tickets for more than 20 years. Now that Matt is in AZ, I thought he might like to have a throw to remind him of the home team!
It is my father-in-law's birthday today, and he is turning 93! He still lives by himself and shops, drives, cooks, banks and pays his own bills etc. He's pretty amazing!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Congrats to all the losers!! Connie, hang tight, it will come!! really think you need to increase your cals and protein a little. maybe a little bump in the road.....I have faith you will get there. no one has a better attitude than you:)
I am going to spin on this snowy/rainy morning. Feel spring is around the corner:) Have a great day everyone!!

Connie, Good job.
I only lost .1 lb. I would never know that little loss if I didn't have a digital scale but I will gladly take it.
Congrats to all of you who can lose much faster.
Have a great day.
