    Eat More Brussels SproutsNot only are these low-calorie, fat-free, nutrient-packed veggies good for you, but new research shows that they may help boost your body’s production of adiponectin, the hormone that plays a role in burning stored fat for fuel. Brussels sprouts are also full of fiber, which fills you up and prevents you from overeating, says Batayneh. Add a serving with dinner to boost fat burning while you fill up faster and load up on nutrients

    Hi everyone....just checking in to all my challenge pals. I have not been terribly motivated lately but I haven't been terrible either. It seems like work is very hectic so I don't find time to check in at lunch time and then my the time to sit down at the computer after dinner, I feel pretty tired. Still - we have to FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS - soon the holidays will be here in full force.

    Does anyone have anything FUN going on in their lives these days??

    Wow! Great challenge set for next week, no eating after 7pm I have heard and read that it is not a bad thing...so is it just to challenge ourselves? LOVE the no junk part but sure do hope that air popped popcorn (no butter no salt) isn't considered junk lol because after talking to my boot camp instructor that is going to be my new favorite snack. I will do my very best with the challenges that have been set...100 push ups...is that in a row? That is going to be super tough!!!

    Good luck to everyone tomorrow :)

    Ready to do it! I've (almost) lost 10 pounds in these 10 weeks! A little slower than I wanted, but progress is progress- right?! The time goes by regardless and I could have GAINED 10, so that is good for me!

    I am going to do this challenge the best I can this week!

    And btw- in our house this is "No -Eating Out-November!"

    Hope everyone is doing well! Good luck to everyone tomorrow!
