Hi ladies! Weigh in this morning of 171, believe that's 1.5 down from last Monday but up from Friday as usual. I hate weighing in on Monday - I'm always over. :ohwell:
5 servings of fruit and veggie - ooh that will be a little difficult. Not sure I can mange but I'll try. I didn't do so hot with the exercises last week, was fighting a sore back so I did what I could. I think it's getting better so I should be able to get at least the 25 in.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week full of fruit and veggies! :bigsmile:0 -

I hope everyone had a good weekend.0 -
Good Morning Ladies!!! I hope you all had a great weekend and are having a good monday so far. Looking forward to this weeks challenge!!! And looking forward to working hard at all the previous challenges! Looks like we all agree that Mondays are not good weigh in days! I am down from last monday, but up a pound from last friday. Probably due to the fact we spent the weekend at the lake and I pretty much ate nothing but sub sandwichs, chips & beer! ugh! I did however avoid the dip, may seem small but i was the type to eat a whole tub of dip before! haha But I did manage to have a salad for dinner both friday and saturday night so i did get in some veggies. Lets make this a great week!!! Looking forward to seeing all our new numbers on the chart, looks like we are all down, even if only a little bit!

Hello hot mamas! I have been MIA, so has my energy!
Two weeks ago I weighed in at 224. For the last two weeks (including today) I have been at 225.5...I wish I had the energy to workout because I think that would help with the weight gain.
Oh well!
Looks like all of you are doing a great job, congrats!!0 -
So I'm wondering what constitutes a 'serving' of fruit or veggie?0

Happy Monday Mommies!!
Here's my numbers for this week:
Week 7/11/11-- 149.0 lbs
Week 7/18/11-- 151.2 lbs
Week 7/25/11-- 148.2 lbs
Week 8/01/11-- 145.0 lbs
Week 8/08/11-- 144.0 lbs
Week 8/15/11--
Week 8/22/11--
Week 8/29/11--
Week 9/05/11--
Total weight loss = 5.0 lbs
It looks like everyone has made some progress towards their goals this week. I think I am the rare person who appreciates the Monday weigh-ins because it keeps me from getting too carried away with indulgences over the weekend:blushing: I feel that it would be very fair to use your Friday weight instead of the Monday weight if there is a significant difference, but don't go and gain 5 lbs over the weekend!
I got all the challenges done this past week, and I'm looking forward to our new challenge of fruits/veggies. I am probably right on the border of 5 now, so this will keep me honest. I like to drink a daily glass of V8 anyway
btw, I think that a fruit/veggie is 1 cup veggies or one medium piece of fruit. I hope that's right?
I noticed that the thread is not as active lately too. I haven't been on MFP as much lately b/c work has been keeping me really busy, but I check-in at least once daily to keep my motivation (and others) high. Even if we're not checking in as much as before, I know that everyone is doing their best to reach our Labor Day goals I think it has a lot to do with it being Summer & people taking lots of vacations/ trips..
I hope everyone has a wonderfully healthy & active week!!!0 -
Hi ladies!!! I have been out of town on vacation and just got back this evening. I will weigh in tomorrow and catch up. I hope you all are well!

So I'm wondering what constitutes a 'serving' of fruit or veggie?
After searching online, this is what I found.
The United States Department of Agriculture sets a serving size for fruit or vegetables to be equal to about one-half cup. Greens like spinach and lettuce have a serving size equal to one full cup. One serving of sliced fruit is equal to one-half cup; however a single piece of fruit, such as an apple or an orange counts as one serving
Here are some typical serving sizes for fruits and vegetables:
Fruits
one banana
six strawberries
two plums
fifteen grapes
one apple
one peach
one-half cup of orange or other fruit juice
Vegetables
five broccoli florets
ten baby carrots
one roma tomato
3/4 cup tomato juice
half of a baked sweet potato
one ear of corn
four slices of an onion0 -

i know my posts have dwindled; im in that lack of motivation phase again. I'm a little sick of counting and logging, sorry for negativity :frown: love u guys, hate the weight loss progress..so many ups and downs!!!:explode: its a down week for me...i am not sticking to any of my exercise programs due to boredom, i cant do what i love consistently because of schedule (treadmill and elliptical); just a litte over it.............but i am going to keep it going because i DO want to lose weight and people like you show me that its possible.0 -

Well i had a gain, but am not terribly worried about it. I made much better decisions than I usually do when I am at our family cabin and usually come back 5 to 8 lbs. heavier, so 1 and a half pounds isn't bad. I worked out almost every day we were there, got in my water and sit ups and push ups. I am really trying to make a lifestyle change and feel like that is showing in the change in my usual eating habits. Great job last week ladies!0 -
I wi say that I went to the fair last night and after my workout before going, eating moderatly and having "dinner" at the fair I still had 50 cals left for the day!!!!!!!! I only ate two handfuls of carmel corn, a wonderful huge cheese burger and a few swigs of homemade lemonade from the kids and hubbys cup. i felt so good when I came home and we had a blast. I realized that things are still fun without all the fat and grease! I had fun and indulged a bit with the fat burger I had!!! I did want to get something sweet but I just kept thinking of you all and your encouragement and the fact that this is ALL ABOUT ME......thanks Latoya!! Hope you all are having a great weekend!! See you at weight in on monday:)
:smooched: needed to read this! thanks, and yes its ALL ABOUT U!!!!0 -
Well I had been avoiding posting my progress as I know that I did not do well last week and I started this week sorta blah. After completing my run I weigh myself, and it was not as bad as I expected (specially at night). Thank goodness for each one of you for your support and for my amazing coworkers/friends that have decided to join me in like 4-5 different 5K's in preparation for greater milestones to come.... life is good.
just feeling a little blue, I had to ground my 5 year old for the second time this week :-| he has gotten into the bad habit of saying bad words and I must put an end to it... hurts my heart!
