Hello orange Team!!! All of you did a great job last week! What are your goals for this week? My goal is the same yet again to lose 3 lbs. I just can't seem to get there for some reason. I have not gotten word of what the challenge will be yet and I missed last nights episode so I have no idea what it even could be. I will let ou all know when the challenge is posted in the official week 4 thread.

    You both posted about the same time lol and I had just been in and didn't see anything. then boom both posted lol anyway my goals for this week is to not eat after 9 pm, drink at least 72 oz if water a day and make sure I take all my vitamins and supplements. this challenge this week will be similar to what I do anyway. at least lately. I try to burn off a lot of the calories I eat. I think I did it yesterday. but it's not a certain food but I could try. I think I'll just wait and post a big one at the end of the week rather than post everyday. guess I'll see...

    Here is this weeks challenge!!!
    *******challenge summary**********
    1) Make sure you are recording everything you eat if you arent already
    2) Chose a food item or group of food items that you may like but may not be healthy
    3) keep track of each time you consume this and how many calories from it you ingested.
    4) complete a physical activity equivalent to that amount of calories consumed (ie one can of beer has 105 calories so you run a little over a mile until youve burned 100 calories)
    5) post in your team thread your items and activities broken down by day. While it would be most beneficial to do this each day to keep you on track, one final post with each day separated would be acceptable as well. You WILL NOT get credit for simply stating you completed the challenge this week - you need to show your teammates and coaches what you did

    Scratch the above^ I just read the challenge and lol I don't eat bday cake everyday, and its not a really issue. My thing that I want to stay away from is :heart: BREAD:heart: I love bread but my favorite bread (fresh baked sourdough and French bread ) makes me ill and I think im allergic to something in the fresh baked* (it makes my:ohwell: throat close and gives me headaches) so I need to not make myself suffer and abstain is the goal. :sad:

    Today*
    No bread~
    Owed:
    0
    Exercise today: 482 cals burned

    I may as well post since I'm here. my weakness is sugar and starches . there happens to be a box of donuts sitting on my table... so I ate one... 300 calories... gag... had my cleaning job today (clean someone's home every other week) and don't normally do as much at home on those days but today I did extra to make up for the lousy donut. I can't remember howmuch it was to cover it . I think around 90 minutes? Blah...

    My goal for this week is to track every single bite. I already gave up candy & ice-cream. I got such a sweet tooth. I will be working off any sweet treat that I consume. I'll start tomorrow, since I saw this challenge late.

    Goal this Week: Exercise 6 days

    I'll make sure that my calories burned covers any junk food (cake, cookies, candy, chips, ice cream, etc.) I eat this week.

    My goal is same as last week.. to see Onederland. have 1.01 lbs to go to be under 200. Like our coach, I just can't seem to break under that 200 mark.

    I would love to indulge on tempting foods, but being a very controlled diabetic. I just can't. It isn't worth the rise in my blood sugars. I will post daily what exercises I do, but I highly doubt I will eat anything I am not suppose to. (and I already list every single thing I eat on my food diary, even my seasonings I use on/in my foods)

    Today I walked my dog for 45 min for 226 calories per MFP.
    Did 5 sets of 25 squats (for a November challenge I am in). I used http://www.fitclick.com/calories_burned?At_Home_Training&oc=729#.UnqY9BCiiHg to see what calories I burned on the squats for 494 calories

    Total calories burned today, 720 calories.

    This is going to be a hard one for me...I think since lately I've been stealing my sisters Halloween candy I'm going to try to cut that out completely.

    Not doing too well in the work out department. Hormones and TOM makes things out of whack! I have tracked all my food so far, but I'm so craving some sweet, but I'll pass since I'm not up to working out for the next few days.

    :smile: Thanks for the bday wishes.
    I was so wrong:noway: me and my bday cake have been having a love affair since wednesday:yawn: needless to say, im ready for it to go bye bye.

    Today: 2pieces of vegan bday cake: 180calx2=360cals total
    workout: 1000+ cals burned by walking, lifting, cleaning etc...
    :ohwell: sugar gave major headaches and this week had heartburn:sad: why do i do this factor*
    :wink: so plan to flush my little system maybe a little detox to cut the cravings for sugar that may come and:drinker: get back on the boat after a nice restful day tomorrow ( oh and decrease caffiene over the weekend:heart: )
    :yawn: gotta start taking my vitamins again, didnt take any this week

    Last week was a discouraging week for me. It was the first time I gained in the 2 months that I've been back on MFP. This week my goal is to take off the weight I gained last week plus a little extra. Mondays are usually my days where I eat the worst food so I will probably plan a big workout Monday to burn off anything bad I plan to eat. I walk my dog several times a day but that has been the most exercise I've gotten recently. I need to find something new to keep me motivated and excited. I have a pattern of running all summer training for races and then slacking off come Fall and Winter.

    Today I put dressing on my salad and figured id work that off. today was highly stressful to me so the rest of the day I ate more than I wanted to. I worked off a lot while cleaning but still not happy with what I ate. but I guess I did what I was supposed to. the goals I posted before have all been met. that's pretty good for me.

    Nov. 9th

    I had to fight to get to my 1200 calories today (missed it by a few calories even). I didn't eat anything, I should not of eaten again today. My food diary was a little off due to a severe toothache (reason calories were a bit low)

    I did get some calorie burning in though.

    I did mega steam cleaning of carpets for my dad today. Over 3hrs worth and oh I feel it. I put it as cleaning vigorously on MFP and it says 821 calories. I also did 4 sets of 25 squats with 3lb weights. Not sure what that total is and too tired to look it up. Was up all night and day due to this nasty toothache.

    Hope everyone is doing super good on this challenge. And super good in general. :D

    Throughout the week so far I have stayed under my calories. Today I plan to go to Panera which is definitely a major food vice. I'm planning on getting broccoli cheddar soup and a grilled cheese which according to Panera is 660 calories. Today I ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes and burned a little over 300 calories and burned another 300 on the elliptical. I plan to walk my dog and maybe get in some squats or crunches to burn a few extra calories to make sure my Panera meal is completely burned off.
