    I know I set my goal for the 5wks at 8lbs down. Its a pretty big goal. I leave for camping that day so I pray I will make it. I would be really really happy with even 5lbs. Nothing less. LOL

    Good luck ladies! We can do this! I wrote my goal on my frig so I can see it every time I get a snack or something to eat to remind myself!!!

    I hate to be a pain but I have tried again from my home computer and I still am having problems. I did google it and it sends me back to mfp. I copied the site and pasted it. Still no luck.

    I think this is the first time I have ever filled & gone over the water glass counter on MFP!! Tips were helpful - sounds goofy but using a straw did it for me!

    FRIDAY MAY 20TH - DAY 5! "STAYIN ALIVE! - AND UNDER CALORIES

    CHALLENGE/TIP
    Alot of us have been saying how hard it is to stay under calories and eat healthier, especially on days we don't exercise. So how can we stay under calories? Eating healthier, fuller snacks is the key. Instead of fruit juice or fruit snacks, eat real fruit! Eat veggies instead of chips and eat smaller portions. Today's goal is to STAY UNDER YOUR CALORIES FOR THE DAY.

    MOTIVATIONAL SONGS OF THE DAY
    1. STRONGER - Kanye West http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG50h6ajBDg
    2. EYE OF THE TIGER - Survivor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgSMxY6asoE
    *All songs will be added to our ipod on the new website!

    SHARE YOUR SECRETS TO SUCCESS:
    What are ways you stay under your calories? Share some of your healthier snack options.

    Here are some secrets I've heard:
    1. Downsize your dinner plates. Studies find that the less food put in front of you, the less food you’ll eat. Conversely, the more food in front of you, the more you’ll eat — regardless of how hungry you are. So instead of using regular dinner plates that range these days from 10-14 inches (making them look forlornly empty if they’re not heaped with food), serve your main course on salad plates (about 7-9 inches wide). The same goes for liquids. Instead of 16-ounce glasses and oversized coffee mugs, return to the old days of 8-ounce glasses and 6-ounce coffee cups
    2. Bring the color blue into your life more often. There’s a good reason you won’t see many fast-food restaurants decorated in blue: Believe it or not, the color blue functions as an appetite suppressant. So serve up dinner on blue plates, dress in blue while you eat, and cover your table with a blue tablecloth. Conversely, avoid red, yellow, and orange in your dining areas. Studies find they encourage eating.

    SHOUT OUTS
    BIGUPS to ALL our new joiners!!! You gotta add me as a friend then message me your start weight to join. WE HAVE ADDED OVER 30 PEOPLE IN THE LAST 24HOURS!
