hey Kim and Ron, this isn't harmony.com or match.com. If you want to express your love do it in the bedroom and log the calories...

hahaha

So far, I've had 1/2 a breakfast sandwich that had red and green pepper, jalapenos, mushrooms, zucchini, and onion.

Lunch today will be some soup: so tomatoes and carrots.

Snack: Strawberries with my yogurt.

It's easier for me to get veggies than fruit. Weird.

Hey everyone - we got to our MD house on Sunday to find a non-working modem. Finally got someone out here today to replace it so I'm back in business! I'm finally back to eating well - I did horrible Saturday, Sunday and did so-so yesterday. I got on the scale (a brand new one because I forgot mine back in MI :grumble: ) and I have (miraculously) maintained since last week. Doing a lot of "flushing" today by eating lots of fruits/veggies and alternating hot water with lemon and regular ol' cold water. Hoping to be down tomorrow!

F/V's for today:
So far: Kiwi, frozen raspberries and an apple
Up next: Fresh raspberries, spinach, romaine, cucumber, tomato, carrots, onion, green pepper, dried cherries (those probably don't really count, do they?)
Possibly: banana, strawberries

Oh yeah, and lemon. Lots and lots of lemon!

I've had some sweet peas today. Going grocery shopping tonight... going to see about some fruit and veggies.
Getting really bored with what I have been eating....

Do Mini Blueberry muffins count???? LOL j/k

mamaturner

F/V for today. Carrot, cauliflower, red pepper, tomato, green pepper, jalepeno, celery, cucumber

Do Mini Blueberry muffins count???? LOL j/k

Depends on how many you eat - would probably need at least two to count as a fruit serving. So, heck yes! :laugh:

I had steamed brocoli for lunch and a cup of frozen blueberries for a snack. That's it so far:frown: I'll have a salad for dinner though so there is 3 more veggies (Lettuce, Olives, and Mushrooms).

I was just on Photobucket and guess what! Tomorrow will be my 21st weigh-in for this challenge. I have an album full of nothing but my feet on my scale! It definately tells a story... I started at 168.2 and had a few struggles but the numbers keep going down. I frickin' love this Challenge... Thank you sooooooooooo much Kim:drinker: :flowerforyou:

mcdebbie

too funny! I am the same way, I only use photobucket for this challenge so I have lots of toe/scale pictures!

I frickin' love this Challenge... Thank you sooooooooooo much Kim:drinker: :flowerforyou:

Well, we will see if you loooooooove me tomorrow.

Good job on logging all the F/Vs. Hopefully, it opened our eyes on how we could do better - or - if we are actually doing enough. I was really excited to see how many of you get the f/v in. Actually, I was impressed and motivated to do the same.

Tomorrow's word is "Exercise dated 9/28" since I have been slacking in the exercise department. I would like to propose a exercise challenge for those who would like to participate:

The challenge will be 180 minutes - or - 1800 calories (that's 1/2 lb)...please log it as such...you can do both if you want

Wednesday, ??? minutes - or ??? calorie
Thursday,
Friday,
etc.

Now drink lots of water and get your scale ready

Ok... F/V for the day for me... I had 1/2 cup canned sweet peas and 1/2 cup of raspberries and there was lettuce on my sandwich.

I did buy some frozen corn and strawberries as well as some pears for me and Taven to share. I'm terrible at the f/v thing but I'm trying.

Kim is that challenge in a weeks time? I'm a tad confused. Oh wait never mind... I'm a dolt... should read the whole thing.

Good Morning all!

So I had an enourmous salad yesterday for lunch with romaine, carrot, cucumber, broccoli and red onions. Then for dinner beef stew with lots of onions, carrots and potatos (I know they shouldn't count). Grapes in am.

Here is my weigh in for the week.

Kim I must be really not thinking straight because I don't understand what we do for the challenge....just stop in and write how many minutes we've exercised? Thanks!

I know - i'm getting a pedicure now that I've reached the 10 pound mark Sorry for the ugly toenail

Kim I must be really not thinking straight because I don't understand what we do for the challenge....just stop in and write how many minutes we've exercised? Thanks!

Anne, you are correct...if you want to participate in the challenge...log your exercise for each day (minutes, calories burned or both)

The prize for this week is:

0.5 prize in the pocket for rainy day
Losing team gets 1 lb disadvantage
1 person from the bottom 2 teams will switch teams

mamaturner

@ Jamie- thank yas! and it was funny. 2 years smoke free in Jan! and my b-day! If only I could get the hubs to join me.

Anne - CONGRATS!!!!



I was hoping for more- but with my luck I'll take it.

Do any of you have those particular words you just can't spell? I have a mental block against some words and exercise is one of them so I am warning you now that it is misspelled on my photo that I wil post when I get home from work. I am soooo bummed. I so wanted to officially break the 170 mark (I saw 169 on Sunday) but noooooo. Unfortunately my evil ways of not feeling good and living it up on the weekend caught up with me and the scale said 170.0 :explode:

Well at least it is a loss and I will take what I can get.

nisijam5

Ron is -1.8 lbs & Kim is - 1.0 lbs

It's my birthday week and this weekend is going to be a huge challenge!!!

irishgal44

I had a gain this week...hoping my team can pull through for me....but eating hardly anything but carbs due to an icky tummy and tons of headaches the last few days and drinking coke n 7up caught up to me. Thought I would have a loss cause I couldn't keep things down but instead I had a pretty big gain. Frustrated! Will post later today or tonight.

mamaturner

Awe Irish- big hugs hun

RJ- I hate the english language and have the same problem. I wrote my lil sticky up last night while reading it off of Kim's post. bahahaha

ok- yay for coffee (some of you will get that, those who do, I'm sorry! lol)

Kim use this post pleeease! 1.8 pounds down!

nisijam5

:drinker: :drinker: Good job to Anne, Robin and Jessica :drinker: :drinker:

Maria, I am just glad that you are feeling better, I cannot even fathom having a headache for days and days. So, hang in there!!! Anyway, we're weight buddies. I know that your just wating for me and we will leap into the 160s together. :flowerforyou:

McFatterton

As of today I have officially lost FORTY POUNDS!!!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

It might not be the 160's yet, but dammit I'm happy!

Oh, and I'm so sorry you all have to endure the torture of my ugly, fat, crooked *kitten* toes. I think I need to start wearing socks....or find an exercise that targets BIG toes!

mamaturner

:flowerforyou: CONGRATULATIONS SARA!!!!:drinker: :flowerforyou:

nisijam5

Sara, your zigzagging is working!!! No one cares about your toes!!! You are so close to the 160's!!!! Awesome!!

So sorry to hear you've had a sick week, my friend. Like Kim said, be thankful you're starting to feel better - that's definitely better than a weight loss. Now you can get back on track for next week - you'll do great!


CONGRATS, Sara, on losing 40 POUNDS!!! That's an amazing accomplishment!! Keep up the dedicated work!!

nisijam5

Jamie -0.4 lbs

HeatherShrinking

Is photobucket being a raging bisnatch to anyone else today? It won't show me my pictures... they are there and I can click the buttons to edit them, but it won't show me what I'm doing! ARRRRGGG!

So anyway, ya'll get two pictures today. I think one is my weight and the other is my cat, but I can't tell which is which. So you get both!!! Yay!

healthymomwannabe

No gain, no loss. Interesting. I couldn't have done that even if I had tried!

I woke up this morning, and something hit me - I kicked myself in the *kitten* realizing how long it's been since I've truly tried to get back on track with eating healthy and exercising daily. It was like an epiphany!! Sooooo guess what???......... I'M BAAA-AAACK!!!!! I'm going to start my day off right, and there's no looking back for me - I'm back on my mission! Not sure where this mojo came from, but dang-it, I'm going to take it and run with it! I WILL BEAT THE UNHEALTHY TEMPTATIONS AND KEEP LOWERING THOSE NUMBERS ON THE SCALE!! Can you tell I'm SUPER excited and SUPER motivated?? Here I go!!!!!

RonBo123

Great job Sara. Keep up the good work.

Ugh, I judged an "iron chef" cooking challenge that our consumer/family science teacher does for an enrichment class. The theme was mini-burgers...with green chiles with their burgers. I ate 2.5 mini burgers...which was probably the equivalent of a regular burger, but I'm all bloaty...I'll probably take my pic later today after I get some water in and do some yoga.

I'm in for the exercise challenge. Is it 1800 minutes/1900 calories for the week?
