GO ME!!!!
Today is the first day I've been able to keep up with my water. It's so hard for me to get my 8 cups in. I'm already on # 6. I can't believe it!
Now all I have to to is take one home with me tonight and I'll be awesome! I'm gonna try to get a little more than 8 since I still have a lot of the day left.

hey purple team!!!! sorry i have been absent these past couple days....help!!!! i was supposed to get an emergency root canal on wednesday but when i called to schedule it they said i had to have the whole $900 to do it... so i decided i will get it pulled but the dentist is closed until monday:sad: so since tuesday i have been on vicodin, which makes me sooo loopey and sick...and even worse i cant eat or i am in soooo much pain:sick: so i have been only drinking protein shakes:frown: i need to workout but i just cant get off the couch....help!!! what would u all do???:sad: :grumble: :sick:
oh yeah...the only thing i am doing good on is drinking my water!!!0 -
I would do the root canal as soon as possible. If you have an abscess, I think that needs prompt treatment with antibiotics. Maybe another dentist or endodontist would be more sympathetic about the money? I wouldn't exercise since I imagine that would exacerbate whatever pressure/pain you are feeling.
I feel for you, and hope someone is willing to help you soon! 0 -
I lost my first pound!!! The scale actually said 2, but I'll count the other as less clothing. I'm keeping the other one tho!!!
I'm sure it's the low salt diet I've had the past 3 days. Peeing out everything I was holding onto.0 -
Hey purple's...so happy managed to resist my partners temptation to have pizza & garlic bread..I had a small sweet potato and tuna salad!!!! yeyeyeyey!!!
:happy:0 -
I'm proud to say I was not hung over at all! Kept it to two drinks only. Today is yoga and cardio day for me. Let's keep this up!0

Hey everyone! I am doing good with staying below my calories and drinking all my water!:drinker: Now I gotta get some exercise in. I did eat a bad (:blushing: ) lunch but only about half of it. My hubby wanted Burger King and I gave in because I haven't given in all week. I told him how many calories and fat was in stuff and he said he wouldn't be eating out anymore! I just said I told you so!
I told him that is why I quit saying let's go get something to eat!:bigsmile: So now I have had my bad stuff for the day back onto eating good stuffs!!:happy: I hope everyone is doing really great too!! The scale went down again but I am going to wait to record that on here tomorrow, just to make sure it stays gone! 0 -
I can't believe I've stayed full off less than 1400 calories. And I don't even want a candy bar or anything. This is awesome!0

Keep up the great work! Go Purple. I'm feeling pretty well myself - just hope the week-end doesn't set me back.

Good morning good morning!! Let's all hope for a good day! I have already lost 5 pounds! Woohoo!! I am so excited! The scale said more but I just put in the 5 pound loss. Yay!!! :bigsmile:0

I want to see us win this thing!!! So we need to start posting some challenges and get on the ball! We can all do this!!
OK here goes......
I don't like crunches! I hate them! Soooo....
I challenge everyone who hates crunches to do at least 10 today!
How's that for a mini challenge!
~Mel
i'd love to, but my personal trainer told me that i shouldn't do crunches until I've lost more weight - I'm a 3rd of the way there - is this right????0 -
Are you doing Cardio? If so then you are burning calories and when you do crunches it builds up your muscles and after the fat is gone you will see the definition in your belly. Muscle burns more calories than fat does. Maybe you put up a thread and ask some of the others on here and maybe they will have a better answer for you. Keep up the good work!0

Well I'm sure your personal trainer knows better than I do. So maybe I shouldn't either?! lol
I will do anything to get out of crunches!:laugh:0 -
No Mel!! You don't get out of crunches!! Aren't you the one who started this challenge???
You are not giving up on me now! LOL!!!:bigsmile: :drinker: Drink your water and do 10 more crunches!:bigsmile: :laugh: 0 -
OK ... I did my 10 but didn't see the 10 more you tried to raise me!
It was hard just to do 10. lol
I didn't get in any other exercise yesterday though
So I am thinking of posting a new challenge...........0 -
Go for it girlie!!! Whatcha got? Give it your best shot!OK ... I did my 10 but didn't see the 10 more you tried to raise me!

Renae, I love the quote on your signature - just happened to speak to me today... I'm writing it down and putting it on the refrigerator right now! Oh, and I'll see your 20 crunches and raise you ten!!!
I'm wondering about the personal trainer telling someone not to do crunches - please explain... (I guess a little part of me would like to be off the hook for a while too!)
I'm going out to dinner tonight with a friend, but I'm going to stay focused and make good choices. I took a short walk already today (weekends are off for exercise for me) just to get some fresh air. I've only had two glasses of water, though, so I'm going to work on that now.0 -
Thank you so much!! I had to pick a quote out that fits me of course! I love quotes close to my heart! Anyway now I gotta get in 30 crunches!! Aaagghhhhh!!!!

YeahI am, as for the trainer, I've not got a lot of faith inhim to be honest :blushing: :blushing:
Think I'll do crunches anyway, can't do any harm :happy:0 -
It strengthens your core anyway!0
-
Even more reason to do it then :bigsmile:It strengthens your core anyway!
I just done 20 crunches, aaaaannnnnddddd I noticed I could do it easier than the last time I tried :bigsmile:0 -
That is great!! Keep up the good work Jackie!0

Hello team. I just read the postings about crunches.and thougth I would share comments from a trainer I know. She is very much against crunches for everyone. She and some other trainers are hoping to spread the word to those dealing with young children so they start off right. Traditional crunches, from what I understand, cause forward flexing that strains the discs in the back. This is particularly bad for older people or if you have back issues. There are many other abdominal exercises that work the enitre abdomen (from breast bone to pelvic bone) without potentially harming the back. Check with your trainer. Good luck.0

Thanks ZaZa! Like I said I hate them anyway. It sucks to be fat and have to get on the floor! :laugh: LOL
I prefer doing the ab work through cardio workout videos anyway! It was nice of you to share!
OK...... So....
everyone PLEASE no floor crunches..... let's do some other form of ab work but let's still get it done!
~Mel0 -
We have an ab tower but I can't do many on there. They are rough!0
