    Hey Ashmaire, is the water challenge drinking 8 glasses a day? That sounds good. I am going to rechallenge myself to do the 30 chews a bite thing because I did not master that one. haha

    Ok So I have been gone for a while. Finished finals, yay!!! Had a good Christmas and new Years, ate a lot and worked out some. Haven't weighed in a while, and I'm going to give myself some slack and not weigh in until Friday. I am back on track now though :) And I have no idea what brand of hair ties I use but I haven't bought any new ones in a while, so they are good ones. Maybe goody? What kind are you using learning2fly4?


    I had the goody bright colors mix and also solid brown, bought both at Target. Im open to anything except with Metal on them... they hurt like hell to pull out.

    Happy new year everyone!!

    I use the goody's no hurt hair ties. Or whatever they are called. I have been using them for a while and they don't seem to stretch out too quickly.

    Thanks guys, my study break for today is target, the bank and gym. Gotta get some hair ties(i will look into the no hurt ones), more Luna bars and some Birthday party cards, my dad and i are throwing my mom a surprise 60th brunch.
    I take my next CPA exam section tomorrow morning, so im kinda nervous, but i feel pretty prepared for it. So we will see. I expect to pass otherwise what a waste of 60 hrs vacation.
    Yesterday was a rough day, Jets won, but they werent on til 830 last night, so normally i make myself go to bed at like 10-1030 and watch tv up there, so no temptation of food, but i made the mistake of making the most delicious pecan pie(my fav!!) and ate 3 pieces yesterday - a solid 1200 calories plus, otherwise i ate fine, and not to much.
    Back on track today, hope everyone has a good and day good week!

    Thats great learning2fly! I'm sorry you have to wait so long, thats annoying!

    Well I've been really sick the last couple days so I haven't been able to workout, I hate when I can't workout! Oh well, I haven't really been eating much but I'm going to try and eat more today, hopefully I will be better tomorrow. Have a good rest of the week everyone, I'm drinking water right now :bigsmile:

    Uh oh!!!! I have never been there but they MUST have salads, just get the healthiest looking one and get the dressing on the side, or maybe a grilled chicken sandwich... be careful with the veggies... a lot of times restaurants put a lot of butter on them... have a good time!

    ok so it was good last night. I ordered a grilled chicken breast dry with a side salad dressing on the side. It wasn't on the menu but they were very helpful and worked with me. :smile: and the games were actually fun! haha.

    Hi everyone!

    I'm 24 and would love to join this board to help motivate me even more :)

    I downloaded the iphone app and it's been great so far, I've obsessed over making sure I plug in each thing I eat - which has been very eye opening! I am on here to loose the extra 40lbs I am lugging around - on a 5'2 frame - eekk!

    My boyfriend, mom, and dad are all using the site too, but it would be nice to talk to some more people my age about your experiences, challenges, and success :)

    Have a healthy day!
    - Cate

    Welcome Cate!! Its good to have that motivation at home!!

    Well we need another challange!! I've been getting pretty discouraged lately it seems like im doing everything right yet im gaining weight, and i don't know if its because im drinking a significant amount of more water or what. I deffintly havn't been working out enough, but i havn't had anytime to, but im going to start logging in my food better and trying to get into the gym to see if it helps me out more!!

    Well I hope you all are having better luck then me in the last few weeks!!

    What are some good ideas for a challenge?

    My goal for this week is to make smart overall meal choices. This week starts my horrible work schedule and for the forseeable future, so I need to choose better items when we order take out for lunches/dinners. Just not going to work to pack that much food, considering two weeks i will be away in hotels.

    Yesterday i was good for lunch - i ordered from Chili's the good grill choice of Carne Asada Steak with Broccoli/Carrots which was around 450 calories. Very fillings, plus way better calorie wise than just about anything on the menu.

    Hey didn't get to weigh in on Friday but I did today and I am down a pound!! I felt like I did horrible last week though. ha, oh well I'll take it.

    I was thinking about maybe trying to get in one more serving of fruits and veggies everyday. I know that for me it is an aera I can work on. Any other ideas??

    Great Job!! Keep it up!

    Thats a good idea. I also think this week should really aim at choosing the healthiest foods to eat like if were ganna go out we should consider the healthier side of the menu. Because I know everytime I go out to eat and eat something unhealthy it usually messes up my next day or two too. Just a thought?

    Yeah that is a good idea, so this week we focus on choosing healthy foods and meals. What does everyone think?
