    100 (actually I think we have 101 now!!) members is freakin' awesome!!! Woot Woot for us!!! ROCK ON! :drinker:

    So I'm 2/20 so far, I weigh in on Fridays so I will be updating soon. I never realised how many challenges I'm in :noway: ..take a look:

    I have this challenge, my personal BMK challenge (2 friends and I pick 2exercise and 1food challenge a week as an extra boost), as well as a lose 5lbs a month (I've done this each month since June), the Crunch and Plank (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/116270-crunch-n-plank) as well as 100push up challenge (I'm on week 4 but am doing girly ones ), the Labor Day challenge and postcard challenge...YIKES! I never realized how many I am actually in!! Although Labor Day challenge ends this weekend and I only have 2 weeks of the push up challenge, but still!! LOL! Anywho, I'm headed to start on my torso twists(part of BMK) and the Crunch and Planks, no C25k today since it's raining, that just means it's time for a Leslie vid and some dancing :) Have a great day all!! Be back Friday with my weigh in :heart: Bru

    I would so like to join this challenge!! Brunettewife told me about it and I have been looking for another challenge. I just completed a burn 20,000 calories for the month of August challenge and am starting a burn 25,000 cals for September challenge but wanted something else. This would be an awesome way to keep me accountable!

    So if you guys started this challege a week ago can I use that weight as the start weight? If so:

    SW: 231
    CW: 228.4 (as of Sunday...that's weigh in day for me)

    Am I doing this right???? :)

    H20 Collage.. Who wants to be in the H20 Collage that Im going to do on Picnik and add to the website???
    If you wanna be in the Collage.. What picture do you want me to use?? Attach your name.. Or Nick name.. Im having a hard time remembering everyone.. ;)

    Feel free to add me. You can use my user name and icon pic you you like. :) I'm going to have to try and shoot some photographs of me tomorrow if I have time. Hopefully someday soon I'll have the guts to post it. (I just don't want anyone I might now to find out that I'm losing weight).


    Why does it matter if other people know that you are trying to lose weight?? The only people that are on here that I know, are the ones I have invited. Its good for you that you are.. So it shouldnt matter what anyone else things. Just like a picture of you, it shouldnt matter.. <3

    Welcome lbencomo!
    Were looking to decorate the trucks up themselves.. one will be a flat bed, one will be a semi tow truck, and one will be a small truck with a hook..

    Do you guys want to have a theme? The semi tow truck will be a big challenge, huh?! The flat bed might be cute as a little pumpkin patch with a scarecrow. The semi - maybe you can paint it up like a giant jack-o-lantern. And the small truck w/hook - uhm - maybe you can do something with a witches theme. Get a "cauldron" and put dry ice and water in it so that it emits mist, and hang that from the hook.

    Were just trying to come up with ideas for now.. ;) Not sure if they want a theme or just halloweenish all together.. ;)

You can charge shipping if you need to, or not. Totally up to you. I'd really love to get this up and running! So of anyone is interested it's here -

    Bru, damn girl you don't take the challenge thing lightly! You're awesome!

    Welcome to all our new members. :)


    So today was my weigh-in day. 188.4. That means I'm one pound up from last week's weigh in, and I'm not sure I can even call this a gain since last week my scale had the fluff under the legs and was misreading. I'll take it for what it is. 3.2 of 20.

    Just got done doing the HARD workout on Golds Gym Cardio Workout.. I let them put the workout together for me, otherwise I dont workout as hard.. :) I feel great.. It was a hard 25 minute workout. About to get around and take my shower for work. Working 6 til 10 yuck.. Same thing tomorrow.. Yuck..

    Id like to share something on here..

    Two nights ago I was talking to a girl I went to school with, who has gained ALOT of weight.. She was saying to me how she would like to lose weight but she LOVES food TOO much.. Thats the night I stayed up til 6am. In the time I talk to her she had a snack, and made an extra trip on her own to Burger King because she wanted fast food. To me that is sad.. I told her she can do it, but she doesnt want to. Its really scary. I dont know how people can allow food to consume their lives. Ive had a fwe days lately I just wanted ot eat and eat and eat and I think of all of the progress I have done. And Im grateful my body wont let me eat and eat and eat anymore. Im definately grateful for that.. We CANT allow FOOD to consume us whether its good or not. With this i night, maybe we should add a "small" challenge to our "group" weekly.. Like, cut out late night snacking, cut out junk.. So forth.. What do we think of this?? I know alot of us keep struggling with certain areas.. Maybe doing it together would be great.. And if we give in.. We must post it on here.. in the Forum.. I think it would slow me down.. Knowing I would have to use this as my "Confession box" haha!

    April, sorry to hear about your friend. I have a friend like that too - he's always been a big guy, but in the last couple years has packed on more weight. He just loves food and excessiveness. Doesn't care. Like when we invite him over for dinner, he'll drive thru somewhere, then he'll stop home after work and eat there, and then come over and eat with us. And he takes in alcohol in the same volume. He's got a treadmill, and we joke that he can drink his Jack and Pepsi while walking on it since it has a cup holder. But he gave up on that.

    It is hard to see friends dig themselves into an even deeper hole. Makes you wonder what else is REALLY going on. I think almost everyone loves food - you just have to learn how to appropriately love the food back.

    I just got back from vacation and the temptations to eat some very fattening foods and give up my plan for a week were there...... but I ate my healthy breakfast and lunch, brought fruit along when we drove and made the best choices I could when we ate supper, and I am 3 pounds lighter then when I started my vacation. So it can be done. I hear you, you have to decide your ready and make it a conscious choice to eat this way.

    I WAS that person many months ago...late night snacking was often due to my hubby and I going to a friends house before dinner (which meant fast food) and then the 30min trip home usually around midnight or so, we'd be hungry again so then it was a trip to the gas station for whatever we could get or another fast food trip, often 2x a week, not including when we were at our own house. It is very sad that anyone could do that, especially me, I hated myself for doing that, but never decided to stop until the scale told me 243.9 on my 5ft 4 1/2ish frame and I decided that I wanted a family and wanted to live to see that family grow and now here I am, pushing challenges because I've been in a funk before and I NEVER want to go back. I hope that one day I am blessed enough to start a family and to teach them proper food habits from day one. <3

    Welcome new people :D

    I have had an extremely bad food day, had a lot of rubbish :( Plus side took my 8 year old on a two hour bike ride, I have evened out the calories and now have a very sore bum, not been on a bike at all for about 15 years :)

    My issue right now is making bad food choices so I definitely don't mind making this a place to confess. My goal this month is to not eat out but if I do only once and I really want to stick to this!!
