    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 :smile:

    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... :smile:

    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!!!

  • 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!:)

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!:)

    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!

    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...

    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...

    Hi girls, I posted this on the main thread but I wanted to get the opinon of my teammates as well so I'm copying it here:

    Question for the group:

    What are your thoughts on a "cheat day"? I'm not talking about going way over the top and eating mcdonald's three times a day followed by an entire cake and ice cream sundae. I'm talking about giving your body a rest from rigorous workouts, and maybe enjoying a treat or two (wthin reason) that would normally be bypassed. And not on a regular basis, but like for instance once every 3 months...

    The reason I ask is this: I've been on this healthy eating path for about 3 months. I have not gone over my calores once. I generally stick to 1000 -1200 calories a day and make sure I am getting at least 45 mins of exercise in a day. In particular the last week I've been pushing really hard, waking up at the friggin crack of dawn to do the 30 day shred workout and I am seriously almost religious with my calorie counting. And I'm stressed out. I feel good because I'm getting good results (26lbs down yay!) and I don't want to fall off course because I have a lot more to lose. But I woke up this morning and felt sick. Nauseous, exhausted and just generally like crap. So I skipped my morning workout (still walked but at a much more lesurely pace and did my strecthing) and once I felt a little less like throwing up I had my breakfast. Now, I'm feeling better. So I'm wondering if that was jsut my body's way of telling me to chill out and take a bit of a break for a day?

    I could really use some feedback on this. Like I said, I do not want to fall off the wagon in a big way, I fully intend to jump back on the 30ds schedule tomorrow, but I'm just worried that maybe I'm pushing myself too hard. Which would obvoiously be bad in the long run since I want long term, lasting results.

    Anyways, I'm rambling. As you can probably tell, I'm feeling very guilty for even thinking about taking a day off. Thoughts?

    Oh, and before any of you mummies get any ideas about the cause of my nausea I PROMISE you that I am not pregnant! LOL! Definitely not!

    Thanks! Lynda

    I have a little something on occasion, I have tried having a "cheat day" but it tends to make me feel awful. I prefer to have something once in awhile when I really crave it or when I have friends and family over. Maybe your just not eating enough calories daily, some days I feel like this so I eat a little extra (usually healthy) and it helps.


    *Ladies..I feel like **it today. TOM has arrived and I just feel anoyed at everything so I am going to take it easy today, watch a movie, take a nap and then maybe later I will see if I feel like working out. I wish I didn't feel so sluggish and just plan pissed off at nothing! Hopefully tomorrow will bring a new and more positive atitude my way.

    Yeah, I think that what I'm going to do. Take a bit of a break from the rigorous exercise today. I'm going to a football game tonight where there is sure to be lots of yummy foods. I might indulge a little bit, bu tI will be sure not to go overboard, and tomorrow I'm back to it. I think I'm getting enough calories day to day, I never starve myself, I just make healty, lean choices and stop when I am full. I don't ever feeel hungry or unsatisified so I think I'm doing ok there.

    Sorry you are feeling crappy today. Maybe you are in the same boat as me and jsut need a day to chill. Enjoy your movie and have a great day! Tomorrow let's get back on the horse together!

    Ladies,
    I think we should all take a day off from the exercises.. Like what Leslie Sansone says in her videos..surprise the muscles... so you take a break and when you workout again...the results would be great....

    Have tried my crunches today... it was awesome... I tried 5 different sets of crunches so that I won't give up and I'm feeling great...If it wasn't in the challenge, I would never try those and think crunches are always difficult... Even when practicing yoga, i used avoid those...lol.. I always thought that I wont be able to do those and today I said to my belly come one- give it a try and i did...Yay!!!

    All challenges met for the day

    Also, I tried a weird thing today... there was a workout video on exercise tv which I wanted to try... I felt it was funky dancing..hahaha...and I did it for 20 mins... In fact, I wanted to give it after 5 mins as it was very tired, but managed to complete the full 20 mins...I am glad that no one was around... I felt I was really looking funny...heheh

    So howz everyone doing???

    My team challenge is still pending.... will do it soon... :-)

    Ok Ladies...Here I am... Have gone through all your profiles although I dont think I needed to do that since we already had so many interactions here on our team thread...

    Karie- First thing what I noticed is that you are really beautiful and your baby is a cutie too.... You are a great leader and truly inspiring one too... Thanks to you for starting this challenge and I'm glad that you are our team captain... I am sometimes surprised, how you manage so many things... We started a challenge here and then again on the other website... even before we started the challenge, I used to read your replies on the other websites and you made sure that you replied to each one of them... Amazing Lady!

    Lynda- Even though you were on the other website too, but didn't really have so much to interact... It was here I came know the" real Lynda"... I feel you are really a cheerful lady and your messages says it all... I like the way you put across your thoughts.. sometimes funky, sometime serious advise.. fun loving.... You are a true example of "never give up" kinds... You keep inspiring others, now that you are back to work but you never compromise on your workouts... but yeah, i think you should bring up your calories a bit more...lol

    Deanna- You have always been there when we needed some motivation.. Also, you manage 3 kids and thats awesome... I feel you a perfect mom... One of the reasons for you to be healthier is coz you want show your kids a healthy lifestyle is... I am sure you will be a ideal mom... and those mud run stuff was truly amazing...

    Tamra - I like your kid's name and she has a cute smile too...same as yours... :-) I can see a confident mother there... I just loved the way you put across yourself on your profile info...Fit, not skinny, healthy but not thin...perfect... :-) As mentioned previously, you have had some obstacles, but I am really glad that you are still with us..


    Ladies... I am so happy that we have a wonderful team and all of you are doing great... I am so addicted to this thread now... My day starts and ends with mfp, esp this team thread... I feel this is one of the most active threads where members have so much to share, so much to offer, so much to look forward to and above all motivate and encourage each other

    Love you all... :smile:

    Was it too long...lolzzzz

    So I was having a rough day and to top it off I forgot that I had offered to watch my 2 neices (2 and 3yrs old) for awhile today. I was just in an awful mood so I decided I needed to just get out and get some exercise. I have a double jogging stroller and a hiking backpack to carry my little guy in. We got ready and started down the road, it was tough pushing the stroller and having my son in the backpack but I was determined to get to the park about a mile away. We got 3 and a half blocks from the house and it started too pour rain not just a little but I mean hail and rain! We turned around I starting running, the kids where crying. Wgat a way to end my day, I need a nap! After all is said and done, I can now laugh about it but I am ready to just start over with a new day tomorrow.

    Hope you all had a great day!

    Team Challenge:

    Lynda- I don't think any of you know this but Lynda is the one who told me to check out MFP, we were friends on another site, so for that I am so greatful. I was about to give up and she inspired me to keep going. Lynda you are a great and caring friend, an awesome motivator and such a strong women. You inspire me everyday with your determination. I am so glad you are my teammate and friend.

    Renuka-Renu was also my friend from a different website and I am so glad she decided to join me here. Renu, you are so determined and you always offer kind words of encouragment, we are lucky to have you as our teammate and friend. I think it is awesome that you teach dance, maybe one day we will meet and you can teach me.

    Tamra-I have enjoyed having you on our team, you were one of the first to sign up for team Green and I remember being super excited about it. You are a great motivator and such an inspiration to us all with your 50lb weight loss, you make me want to try harder everyday. By the way I love your family pictures on your profile. We are lucky to have you on our team.

    Deanna-First of all everytime I see your profile picture I smile. I love that your profile talks alot about your kids you seem like a great mom. You are a great teammate and supportive.

    Ok Ladies...Here I am... Have gone through all your profiles although I dont think I needed to do that since we already had so many interactions here on our team thread...

    Karie- First thing what I noticed is that you are really beautiful and your baby is a cutie too.... You are a great leader and truly inspiring one too... Thanks to you for starting this challenge and I'm glad that you are our team captain... I am sometimes surprised, how you manage so many things... We started a challenge here and then again on the other website... even before we started the challenge, I used to read your replies on the other websites and you made sure that you replied to each one of them... Amazing Lady!

    Lynda- Even though you were on the other website too, but didn't really have so much to interact... It was here I came know the" real Lynda"... I feel you are really a cheerful lady and your messages says it all... I like the way you put across your thoughts.. sometimes funky, sometime serious advise.. fun loving.... You are a true example of "never give up" kinds... You keep inspiring others, now that you are back to work but you never compromise on your workouts... but yeah, i think you should bring up your calories a bit more...lol

    Deanna- You have always been there when we needed some motivation.. Also, you manage 3 kids and thats awesome... I feel you a perfect mom... One of the reasons for you to be healthier is coz you want show your kids a healthy lifestyle is... I am sure you will be a ideal mom... and those mud run stuff was truly amazing...

    Tamra - I like your kid's name and she has a cute smile too...same as yours... :-) I can see a confident mother there... I just loved the way you put across yourself on your profile info...Fit, not skinny, healthy but not thin...perfect... :-) As mentioned previously, you have had some obstacles, but I am really glad that you are still with us..


    Ladies... I am so happy that we have a wonderful team and all of you are doing great... I am so addicted to this thread now... My day starts and ends with mfp, esp this team thread... I feel this is one of the most active threads where members have so much to share, so much to offer, so much to look forward to and above all motivate and encourage each other

    Love you all... :smile:

    Was it too long...lolzzzz

    Renuka- Thank you for your kind words as always, I really needed it today.
