    We spent 4 hours on our feet, walking at the zoo. Walking. the. whole. time. Including a 1/2 mile, uphill-all-the-way walk from one portion of the zoo to the other, and then back. My legs are SO sore. I'm also counting it all as exercise because it's far more than I would ever do on a normal day! And when you're chasing after or trying to corral 2 very excited kids, it's a lot of work!

    Hi All! Well, last soccer game of the season for DS this AM, 1 more hockey game for the boys, final swim meet tomorrow. Looking forward to a much more calm schedule!

    Thanks to everyone with fingers crossed for me to break into one-derland tomorrow. The last 2 days the scale has been @ 200.6, so we'll have to see what tomorrow brings :)

    *THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE* PLAN EXERCISE (AGAIN) AND PLAN AS MANY MEALS AS YOU CAN (ie: plan your breakfast's for the week, your lunches, or a whole day)

    Ashley - Great work with your triumph over the cookout! As far as what exercises you can do, maybe check with your MD if he can send you to Physical Therapy with a prescription for training in a Home Exercise Program of safe exercises for your knee & back.

    Kelly - Focusing on people at an event instead of the food makes for an enjoyable time without any guilt at the end!

    Indigo - WOW - what a great workout!

    Melissa - sounds like you got in quite the workout at the zoo! Great work on facing down temptation at your son's b-day!

    Phyllis - great work on squats!

    Top - sounds like you are working toward many great things that will help you maintain your success!

    Deanna - great job facing your fears!

    Renee - sounds like you had a fun-filled & healthy vacation!

    Weigh in tomorrow! Go TEAM!!!

    Hi Everyone,
    This week wasn't good for me at all. I really slacked on pretty much everything, sorry guys. Well I'm slowly but surely getting back on track again. The first step I took was planning out my meals for tomorrow, which I have already done.

    Anyways this week I only earned points for getting 7 or more hours of sleep per night, so that's 7 points for the week.

    This next week is going to be so much better.

    ~ Katherine

    Hey all I finally broke through and lost. I also ate way more calories then normL so I am going to zigzag my calories and see if I lose again next week if not I am going to up my calories ( I have a feeling I have my limit set too low for what I really need to eat)
    Anyway my points for the week are 25 and my weight this week is 230.7. I am on cloud nine for finally losing 10 pounds (I was 242 when I started and 240 when I signed up for MFP). I still have a month to reach my goL of twenty and M feeling very optimistic about it. As far as this week's challenges I follow a very limited diet so I eat the same thing all the time anyway ( I even plan in my sweets for the day). However I will continue the challenge of a push up and squat day because I enjoyed those. Looking forward to this next week's challenges!

    Finally!

    I didn't logged my food or exercise for Sunday, because I was having serious Internet issues! Ughhh! That can really be a "pisser-offer" :mad:

    Although I do have the Blackberry MFP app on my cell phone, it doesn't work as well! Each time I want to add to my food diary or exercise diary, the phone takes me through a status before I can do anything and sometimes I get an error!

    The only device I had that would get me to MFP was my iPod, however it only works with WiFi, but that wasn't working either! Sheeeesh! Even when I took the kiddies to McDonalds for lunch and play, I couldn't log on and Mickey D's offers free WiFi!

    Nonetheless, I didn't log everything I ate or did, so I guess I'm not entitled to any food log points for Sunday! Oh well, it is what it is! Right? Right! :wink:

    I didn't post my point everyday last week because of being out of town. So here goes:
    Monday 6
    Tuesday: 7
    Wednesday: 4
    Thursday: 3(didn't log anything to scared of the numbers:smile: )
    Friday: 9
    Saturday: 4
    Sunday: 6
    Weekly total 39 points
    Weigh in this morning and I'm down 1.2 lbs at 150.8
    My workout plans this week are to do Jillian Michaels dvds for another challenge that I'm in (www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/288706-30-day-slimdown-challenge-starting-august-1st) Mon, Tue, and Thurs. - 30DS L1 and L3, Wed- 30DS L3 and No more trouble zones, Fri.- banish fat booost metabolism, Sat - quick trouble zones, and Sunday not so sure maybe a rest day or walk/run day. Now planning out my food for the week is much harder for me. I have never been good at planning out food but I'm going to give it a try and at least plan out some dinners or a whole day.

    Hi All! What a long & busy day! I'm just eating dinner now (almost 10pm) - I was tempted to skip it, but thought 700 calories for the day would mess with my metabollsm. Not that going to bed just 1 hour after eating is much better....

    I got in 13.5 more points this week compared to last coming in @ 43.5.

    I'm down 2.2 to 200.0.

    WEEK CHALLENGE: Plan your meals & workouts
    TUESDAY CHALLENGE: crunches - get in xtra! Any type you want :)

    Katherine - how is your week going so far, better?

    Robin - Yay on down 2! You are only 3 #'s to goal!!!

    Kelly - yay on getting down this week! Hooray!!

    Melissa - Welcome to the 160's!! Wow, can't wait to see that #! EXCELLENT planning! Your meals sound scrumptious!

    Karen - great work again this week!

    Pam - sorry to hear you are stuck! Do you think it's diet? Exercise? I would try mixing it up a bit if you are in the habit of the same exercise or meal routine.... avoid all beverages outside of water... Let us know how we can help. It is so frustrating when that happens!

    Brittany - Amazing! Down 6#'s!!! So happy for you :)

    Phyllis - sorry to hear about your internet problems! Ugh!!!

    Becca - great work keeping up with the points!

    Renee - Yay on your loss this week! Even through a vacation! Great workout plan! Good luck with the meal planning!

    Let's make it a great week everyone!!!!

    I usually plan my meals..but this week I am on vacation & winging things--not sure that I will be home at dinner each day.
    The good thing is-if I am at home I will have more time on my hands which usually equals better/yummy meals!

    My works outs are as follows:
    Monday-TaeBo
    Tuesday-TaeBo & Strength Training
    Wednesday- Jackie Warner Xtreme Training & Taekwondo
    Thursday-Taebo & Walking
    Friday- Jackie Warner Xtreme Training & Taekwondo
    Saturday-30 Day Shred
