    I'm not sure how I let a co-worker talk me into a 5k run next month. I've never run that much! I just ran 3 miles on the treadmill and that took me almost an hour! Her goal is 5k in 30 mins!! Geez...I got alot of work to do!!! Good news...I just burned 303 calories running 3 miles! woohoo!!!

    Thanks, akgrant :laugh: My weight loss has been slow lately. I haven't fallen off the wagon or anything, but I've had more "cheat" meals lately and then I was sick over labor day weekend. Those things, combined, have slowed my progress. I'm back on track this week and hope to see a loss soon. Thanks for asking :happy:

    hey all. i had a fantastic weekend...unfortunately (kind of!) if involved birthday cake and carnitas. i added it all up today and it wasn't as horrid as i had imagined, but tomorrow starts a new week and i'm committed to tighten things up a bit.

    i hope everyone's week has started out THIN! :smile:

    Everything went well today... Except my darn headache came back. I know it's not due to dehydration, because I've been drinking so much water I feel like a camel. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day! My husband is waking me up at 6:00 to work out with him tomorrow morning, so I'd better get off to bed-it's almost 11:00 here!

    Yesterday was much better. Worked out and drank my water. I did my core workout for the crunch challenge. I also ate much better, but not perfect. I stayed under my calories, but I could have made better choices.

    Two days until weigh in - make 'em count!

    Good morning! Started off the day with a bowl of oatmeal... Now off to run some errands, and then work out. I'm planning on being especially neurotic about my calorie intake-I want to see some loss this week. Hope everyone has a great day!

    Ok so I didn't do so hot this weekend or on Monday. No exercise and I know I was well over my allowed calories. :grumble: I am hoping the scale won't be to horrible on Thursday. I just finished week 1 of the crunch challenge and my core is definately feeling it. I am so sore but glad to be because at least I know I am doing something. I guess the fact that I am doing great with the water and staying on track with the crunches is on the plus side. I am back on track today though eating good and already done with my exercise for the day. I hope everyone else is doing good.

    Holy moly, guys! I disappeared for a while -- sorry about that!

    But I am back, and well on my way to my Turkey Day goal. Promise to weigh in on Thursday! :smile:

    Glad to see everyone is doing well. I am pretty excited -- I found a relatively low-cal, low-carb, low-fat supreme pizza that I am going to make tonight. I was really craving pizza!

    Also bought a tape measure and took my measurements a few days ago -- ouch. :indifferent: If the numbers 44-37-45 aren't a great motivator, I don't know what is!

    OK so I am doing really bad. I do fine for breakfast. It is lunch where I have my bad time. I do not really want to eat. Nothing sounds good to me so I will snack on a greanola bar and pretzels and stuff that add up really fast in calories and are not one bit healthy or filling. It leaves me hungry and wanting something but I don't know what. I need good lunch suggestions. Fast, easy around 300 calories if possible and most important filing!

    Wasa cracker with a TBS of peanut butter and whole bag of frozen vegetables (green beans, broccoli, stir fry veggies mixed vegetables
    without butter or sauce of any sort)


    slice a bell pepper or cucumber and eat it with hummus

    celery with peanut butter

    Make a plan for your lunch, log it onto MFP the night before or in the morning and stick to the plan

    Weigh in tomorrow - and I just got my TOM - early. :sad: I feel so bloated.

    If I don't show a loss tomorrow....:mad:

    I did an extra 20 minutes on my work out tonight and am chugging the water. Good luck everyone!

    my "easy" lunches are frozen leftovers from previous one-pot dinners!! toss 'em on the counter when i walk in to work in the morning, and they're defrosted by the time i eat lunch. nuke. eat. no stress...and no excuses.

    Yesterday was NUTS! I earned 525 exercise calories, and STILL went over by 600 calories.

    Lesson of the day: Do not eat what the husband eats! Seriously, we spent most of the day together and I ate like bachelor all day long: Buffalo wings, beer, french fries... :blushing:

    Today I'm back on track, and I'm thinking about not eating back any workout calories to make up for yesterday. Bleh. :grumble: Hopefully my scale doesn't blow up tomorrow.
