    I just joined MFP. I'm in. I don't have 30 lbs to lose to get to my initial goal but if I can get past it all the better. :)

    I've never been able to lose an avg of 3 lbs per week so i'm not going to hold my breathe to do 30 in 10 but I think this will keep me motivated to stay on track and somewhere to check in weekly.

    SW: 165
    Christmas Goal: 135

    I did awsome getting in the water. But the exercise is hard to get in with 3 kids under 2 . Anybody have any suggestions. I also been good with my calories but I have ate after seven which sucks.

    It is amazing how many people are doing this! I made the challenges today. I tried a pomegranate for my new snack. What a mess :smile: but it was good. I had to do a little research to see how to eat one....too funny. One comment was that it was a good diet food because for at least the hour you are eating it you are not eating anything else.

    Hi everyone, Tuesday challenge done :smile:

    Litres of water

    Exercise wise I kinda went way over the target :laugh:
    30min walk with the kids
    20min 30 day shred
    60min gym - mix cardio & weights

    Stayed under my calorie goal!

    As for a new snack, I went looking for something healthy to add to my day as I was finding it hard to eat my calories and some of my extra calories due to all the exercise. So I bought some Sesame Snaps, at 52 calories they are pretty yummy and sweet enough if the craving for something sweet hits :happy:

    GREAT JOB EVERYONE!! Sounds like everyone had a good day.

    If you did not meet the challenges today, remember tomorrow is another day and not to give up.

    Today was my first day of getting back to exercising and eathing healthy. With that said, I had packed a salad for dinner but that did not sound good and I knew that if I ate that then I would be more prone to snack on the hotdogs and chips we have at work, so I asked my husband to go get me a McDonalds Grilled Chicken Sandwich without mayo and a small fry. For me this was an acheivement because I love their fries and would normally eat a large one by myself, but just going with the small one was enough to quench the craving. This did put me over my calorie limit but tomorrow, I will work on staying at my level or under. I am taking it one day at a time.

    I did drink all my water plus some. Not sure of the exact amount because I lost count. I did get in 35 minutes at the gym today which is good for me since I have not worked out in months. With tomorrow's added challenge, I will add in doing some Turbo Jam.to get in more calorie burning.

    As for a new snack, I made a recipe out of Jillian MIchaels Master Your Metabolism Cookbook. I made the Blueberry Banana Muffins and I must say they are much better than I thought they would be.

    Off to get ready for bed. And feel free to friend me if you would like so we can keep each other motivated.

    I started out my day doubting if I could do this.
    But as I went through the day, my confidence became higher and eaiser to stick to the task at hand and I came out ahead.

    Sorry; I didn't have time to look for a new snack for today but I did try one a week ago and found it wonderful.

    Weight Watcher Cookbook:
    Minted Grapefruit & Oranges
    4 Servings

    1/2 c chopped fresh mint
    2 T granulated sugar
    2 small organges
    1 medium grapefruit
    Mint leaves, optinal

    1. To prepare mint syrup, in small saucepan, combine chopped mint, 1/4 c water and the sugar; bring to a oil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat: let cool 10 minutes.
    2. Meanwhile, remove skin and membranes from grapefruit. Over small bowl, with a paring knife, cut grapefruit into sections. Remove skin and membranes from oranges; cut each crosswise into 4 equal slices. Compine with grapegruit sections.
    3. Strain cooled mint syrup over fruit (I used a coffee filter, in a small strainer), squeezing any juice from the mint leaves into bowl. Refrigerate, covered with a plastic wrap, until well chilled. To serve, garnish with whole mint leaves, if desiered.

    Ok everyone...... whew.... I am so excited that people are STILL JOINING US!! WOW!

    I know that some people are having trouble finding the challenges still. I am trying to keep up and help everyone, but unfortunately, I know I'm probably missing some people. Can everyone PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE, help me tell others about how to find the challenges. I've been posting them here, and in my signature, so on and so forth.... I'm trying, but I don't know a better way for everyone to find them. (this is my first time leading a group on here...hehehehe..... so bare with me please!:blushing: )


    I'm excited about challenge today:

    Once again,

    10 glasses of H2O
    At or under calorie goal....(I understand that you can't eat 3000 exercise calories! Wow you all are amazing!)
    And here's the best part!!!

    Of course 45 minutes of movement PLUS an extra 10 minutes of shaking your groove thang' DANCE!!! haha.... Be silly and have fun with it. Even if you know you can't keep a beat, at least you will burn some calories laughing at yourself and with your family!

    Ok....off to start chugging water........

    I'm not so motivated to exercise yet. HELP!!!! I'm struggling to wake up this morning!!

    PoshTaush- you are doing a great job and a great leader! Keep it up!:flowerforyou:

    Ok totally got my dancing in last night! Went to a concert and had a great time! Drank all my H2O and did well eating.

    As far as a new healthy snack, it isn't so much new to me, it is a ThinkThin bar. A protein bar that is gluten free and zero sugar. Great for me being gluten free. They came out with a new bar that is mixed nuts with white chocolate on the bottom.:love: They run between 160-210 calories. Easy, quick & healthy snack.
