    Yea, even if people are fudging their numbers, it's only going to hurt them in the end. Plus can you imagine putting stuff in you didn't do and STILL getting beat by those of us, working our butts off! :laugh:

    sanifrey what do you eat for your fiber?

    cereal or oatmeal for breakfast
    1/2 cup grapenuts = 7
    1/2 cup oatmeal = 4

    I eat a salad for lunch everyday
    1 cup of greens = 3
    1/4 cup chic peas = 3
    tomato, cucumber & dressing as well

    snack
    24 almonds = 4
    1/4 cup walnuts = 7 (not my fav but wow on the fiber factor)

    dinner
    always a veggie or salad included
    1 cup carrots = 3
    baked porato = 5
    if dinner is a pasta or rice I eat the whole grain/brown stuff
    2 oz Ronzini smart taste = 6
    1 cup brown rice = (dang it - I forgot to look it up)

    Just a few ideas, it can add up pretty quickly if you make a few wise choices!

    Me too! But the healthier I eat and with the calorie deficit I do find that I don't go everyday (or several times a day) like I did in my old eating habits.

    Just saw a statement in an article that makes sense..."since eating a high fiber diet makes you feel fuller longer, you have a better chance of successfully reducing your calorie intake thus losing weight."

    That makes sense. I have been trying to get my fiber all under control the other day I got in 10g and I was thrilled. :flowerforyou: So now I have a special part to track my fiber intake. :happy:

    I have it showing on my daily goals too.

    Jess-hows exercise this week?

    I did level one of BL Sculpt and 35 minutes at level 10-15 on elliptical. (15 for a SHORT time - it was hard.)

    That's great!! I forgot that it didn't come standard with MFP, I had added mine a while back & I've been using it since! It can add up pretty quickly! One of the only columns that it's okay to see a red negative & go over in!! :drinker:

    So I thought I was going to be smart and do a different kinda cardio. So I would take the 30day shred and break it down only to the cardio part. Um yea not a smart move :grumble: :noway: NEver doing that again. I know I burned the calories however. :drinker:

    Thanks. :flowerforyou: I *did* drink a lot of water yesterday and felt fine. Most of my fiber is coming from Fiber One brand stuff.

    Biggest Loser tonight!!!! :drinker: I'm going to Shred before it comes on.

    I got in a car accident yesterday and my poor baby is all smashed up. I can't go to work today because I don't have a car or anyone to take me and I have to deal with insurance people and try to get a rental through the other ladies insurance.

    I'm contemplating eating jelly beans for breakfast...

    STAY AWAY FROM THE JELLY BEANS!!!!

    Everything will work out with your car-are YOU ok? So it wa the other chick's fault - that's good for you in the who pay's dept.

    Today will be a better day!


    Leigh-way to go on the water - I only got 6 glasses in. Since my tummy bug it's harder to drink it but I'm getting back up there.

    Jess-I bet that was definitely different just doing the shred cardio - I love the BL Cardio video - do you have it?

    Hotmom - you'll get some exerize in today we all need some rest

    Hi Blue team - Happy St Patty's Day!

    I've been MIA this week - buried with tax season. So I did a week's worth of reading on this thread. I joined in with the introplay and need to explore that some more to see how it works. I think that will be a good motivater for us all! At least I've been getting in 60 minutes of exercise everyday and watching my calorie intake. I just make that much needed "Jenn time" :smile:

    I do have a lunch with a tax client today and I'm really scared about the restaurant. I've been doing so good and haven't been out in soooo long - I hope to make a smart choice!

    Have a great day everyone! :happy:

    Alright, alright, no jelly beans.....:grumble: :laugh:

    I had a scone instead, or 'english muffin'. I was talking to my friend in the UK and I had a hell of a time trying to tell him what an english muffin was and had to resort to google images to show him! :laugh: He thought it was hilarious that he's english and didn't know what it was, so I told him that from now on I will always refer to them as scones. :laugh:

    They might total my car because it's old... :cry:

    That car is my baby. I cried yesterday like someone ran over my dog or something! Ugh this is no good. And neither insurance company can get ahold of the other people so that they can get the info they need to authorize me a rental. :ohwell:
