I lost 4 lbs this week!!!! I am so excited! This is working, I had no loss last week but I just keep telling myself this will pay off and here it is!
Lynda- Congrats on your loss!!!
Karie,
I knew you would do it this week.. Congrats on your weight loss... Excellent job!0 -
Looks like we got 28 out of 30pts this week! Great job ladies!
Yayyyy!!! Awesome...0 -
Morning ladies,
Sorry for weighing in late as I had terrible back ache today, probably because of those cleaning and shifting stuffs... anyways, I am letting you ladies down once again... the scale has gone up to 155lbs again, back to my initial weight... I am feeling so bad coz all of you are doing so well and I am just not able to contribute to weight loss..
Something is seriously going wrong here... I guess I had to exercise more, diet wise I did eat outside one of the days, otherwise my diet is okay...
Try not ot be too hard on yourself. As Karie mentioned it might be muscle weight. Or it could be related to the stress and challenge of moving. Somtimes when under extreme stress our bodies go into "hibernation" mode and store up more fat than we usually do because our systems get screwed up. Almost like our bodies go into shock, does that make sense? I'm not sure if I articulated that well. But what I mean is you've been through a lot, cut yourself some slack
You are a phenomenal motivator and always push yourself so don't ever worry about letting our team down. Take it easy for a day or two, let your back heal before you go hard. We don't want you to get hurt!

Lynda, Karie,
Thanks lovely ladies...
I was feeling really low in the morning...But I'm alright now, super excited for this week's challenge.. This week is just wonderful... I can do bit of yoga for stretching, crunches would help us reduce our tummy fat... and water challenge is awesome..as you know i was struggling to take in more water...yay!!!
I will do only walking today as my back wont support for other exercises.. Need to have a look of my new gym...haven't been there... so I will go full swing from tomorrow... Also, I would get back to my dancing only 3 times a week..the good part in this Indian classical dance is it burns a lot of calories... we dance in the squat position....
Go team green!!!0 -
On the food challenge, i guess mushroom pizza goes to the main thread...Yay!!!
Shouldn't we post it there so that we can have final voting....0 -

TOM is in 4 days for me too! Weird!!!
Anyways, I just wanted to apologize. I am really sorry I haven't been around too much. I will be writing this weeks challengeson my dry erase board in the kitchen! I am aiming for a 5 along with at least a 2 lb loss. It is going to be hard.
I started my grocery list for the week. I am buying plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Along with WALNUTS...mmmm:) Any other healthy ideas? Please let me know. My husband and I have been having some financial trouble, hoping it is in the past. This week has been terrible food wise. I don't have any fresh produce except bananas. But starting this week, I will be buying a ton. I realized just how CRAPPY i feel when I don't eat a good diet....
Love you girls! YOu are all doing a kick *kitten* job!:)0 -

Healthy snack ideas: air popped popcorn, low fat yogurt (I like Source by Yoplait, only 35 cal and delicious!), if you have a sweet tooth the jello chocolate mousse is super good (60cals - in the refirgerator section), Ryvita snack bread (many flavors available but my fave is the whole grain) Light babybel cheese, cheeries, watermelon (not expensive this time of year and provide ample snacking oppurtunity) strawberries, raw veggies (baby carrots, celery sticks, cucmber)
One habit I got into that I found helped me make the most of my healthy snacks is to wash and cut everything up into bite sized pieces and then store in containers. That way when you want a quick andful of something you don't have to waste time washing and cutting. Also makes it very easy to throw some healthy snacks into a baggie when you are heading out the door. It really cut down on my temptation to eat the less healthy options when I can see all my tasty, healthy snacks waiting for me. I do it as soon as we get home from grocery shopping, so it take about an extra 15 or mins to put your groceries away but make sup for it in the long run. Also, ther eis way less food waste in my house when I can see it all (I genuinely forget what is stored away in my crispers. I feel like an ididot sayign that but you would not belive how much produce we used to waste cuz I'd never open the dang drawer!)
Good luck!0 -

I agree with Lynda...even I do the same...I get all the veggies and cut them and store in the containers...it really helps... keep something handy like carrots, grapes... Also, for yogurt I prepare fresh at home..it really helps and my hubby loves it...he says he doesnt like to get yogurt from stores and my home made yogurt is thick as ice cream... I also get almonds, raisins...walnuts is a very good option... Another way of getting veggies is preparing soups and having them before lunch..it reduces your intake and not too many calories too... You get those canned soups also in walmart...I just tried out those and mixed some water and milk and they taste yummy and whole tin is of only 100 calories... Hope this helps...0 -
Ladies...
Completed my cardio (Leslie brisk walking +cardio challenge), lunges, stretching as well... water- I am almost there...yippeeee...
Have you tried those workout videos on exercise TV...they are awesome... I get bored easily with the same routine cardio exercises daily... so I would try one video after another... they have pretty good collection of free videos...kickboxing, cardio challenge, yoga, pilates and so on... It helps me to stay motivated to get my cardio done...
Good going ladies...
Yay!!
Go team green...0 -
i felt like crap for most of the day, but now i feel better this evening and got my house picked up! And got day 4 of the 30 DS done! I'm glad I feel better!! I get my oldest DS back tomorrow from camp I can't wait!!!!
some of my go to snacks are yoplait vanilla yogurt (only kind i like is vanilla), pretzels, popcorn, and sugar free jello... love jello esp when you add a lil cool whip on it! (fat free)0 -
