    Wow...hmmm ok I have no idea what kind of challenge I can pick. I know that water consumption is one of my biggest challenges. Personally, I don't like water and I hardly ever get thirsty. It's really weird. I rarely get in 4 glasses of water per day. Does anyone else have a problem drinking water? I just bought some fresh lemons and was going to make it my goal this week to drink more water by hook or crook. So, can we do some sort of water challenge? Maybe post our water oz per day or something? If anyone has a suggestion for the challenge, please feel free to chime in.

    Thanks,

    ~Jay

    Hey, it's me, Teresa. I'm trying so hard to join your over 200 club, I just don't understand the system yet. I don't know how to do a msg. I changed my user name, and was finally able to post an introductory msg there. I'm not as computer literate as I'd like

    Welcome newbies :)

    Mrscocoa - I have a horrible time with water..it is funny when I ws pregant i drank soo much of it but when not preggers I have a hard time. I got 16 oz today :(

    Dinner was good...got to figure out the cals now. We want to chik fila so it is pretty easy cause everything has cals. I usally get a grill chicken sandwich and a salad with light dressing....Today i wanted a little treat so I still got grilled chicken sandwich, but did get the friess...they were sooo good...but i didn't eat my girls that they didn't eat so that is an accomplishment :) I usally would of eaten all of them on the table pluse some...Then i did have one of the ice cream cones(small) not to bad cals like 170 or somethign like that...nice to get a treat though so to not like totally go off the wagon like i did last weekend.

    Tomorrow we are now going to a bday party for my friends little boy who turns 7. I haven't seen her in 2 yrs....i can't wait.

    I am just like you, I never get any water...thank you for posting this, I am going to try to drink that water with you. Lemons make water easier for me to drink too.

    Hi Teresa and Tammy! Welcome to the over 200 club group. We are all in this together.

    Also, I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words during my time of grief. Only time will heal, but I am ready to move forward and continue on my positive journey. My positive affirmation for this week is:

    I act with confidence having a general plan and accept plans are open to alteration.

    This is so true for me. Consider that while we are on this journey, things will not go 100% as planned. We may have our weak moments and fall out of line. When that happens, try not to beat yourself up too bad. Pick yourself up and keep it moving in the right direction.

    On another note. I stayed within my calorie limits (only 13 cals left LOL) for today. Other things lacked. I actually ate *drum roll* White Castle. :grumble: What the heck was I thinking? I am going to have to exercise my booty off for this one. I guess this is where that positive affirmation comes in LOL

    Check in for 11.06.09
    Calories: 1,189... not quite enough (but I ate so much!)
    Exercise: 525 (30 minute slow walk & 30 minutes on stationary bike)
    Proud: Still proud for keeping my cravings in check (TOM & work related stress). Oh, I'm also proud that I bought a 6-pack of my favorite (absolutely jam-packed with calories. I would think 250 for 12oz. or so) beer last Saturday and I still haven't had a single one.

    Okay this is kinda silly but I wanted to share. Every time I check my bmi it always lands way beyond the chart into morbidly obese. What and ugly word. I am not the tallest girl, not the shortest either but I am 5"2 (almost, but close enough) Today I decided to check and I am actually just obese now (still an ugly word) I am actually getting close to the center of that range, which means pretty soon I will just be plain and simply over weight. sounds so much better than obese. Just felt good about that.

    Momma, that's not silly at all, it's great! I can't wait until I'm just overweight. I don't think I've weighed just 175 pounds (I'm 5'4") since I was about 12. :ohwell: I have a large frame & I'm pretty muscular so the regular bmi chart doesn't work so well for me. My goal weight is 150 which I think will be an extremely healthy weight for me, yet according to the bmi, I will be overweight.

    I picked up my treadmill today. I LOVE it. I've decided to start training to start couch25k. I was attempting to do week 1/day 1 tonight but I found out I'm not quite fit enough to even start there yet so I ended up doing a 5 minute warm up at 3.5mph, jogging at 5.5mph for 60 seconds & walking for 90 seconds 3x (which is the couch25k plan for w1/d1 plan to do for 20 minutes) but I couldn't keep it up so I had to switch to jogging for 60 seconds, walking for 120 seconds 2x and then I couldn't keep that up so I just finished up the 20 minutes of training walking 3.5mph and then added a 5 minute cool down at 3mph for a total of 30 minutes (confusing enough? :laugh: ). My hrm says I burned 457 calories so that's pretty rad. :smile: Anyway, it was definitely the best workout I've gotten since I started working out 2 months ago. I:heart: my treadmill! I just heard on the news there's a 5k and a half-marathon coming up in my city in February. Maybe I'll register for the 5k -- so what if I'm not able to run it all yet, it'll be something to work toward.

    Also, my bf is trying to sabotage me. :laugh: He wanted to order chinese food for dinner tonight... and I didn't put up too much of a fight against it. :tongue: But, I ordered off the "lighter fare" menu and was pretty proud of myself for making that choice. I got steamed chicken and veggies with sauce on the side. No oil on the veggies/chicken, no msg, and lower sodium and oil in the sauce. I ate about 1/3 of it. Quite tasty and I don't think I went over my calories for the day (especially since I just burned 450). I'm not doing great with the water challenge today which is unusual for me. I still have several hours left to get it in, though. :wink:

    my check in today is zippo i was horrible today.

    Went to a bday party that was at a place with a buffet...i did have a salad, then some pizza..then a few cookies...then mexican food for dinner followed by ice cream...dlon't know what got into me today :(

    Oh well it is over ...

    Momma - what bmi calc you using...every one i find just puts me at obese..but I am sure i am morbidly obese. When I do the on on MFP it is 46.3 :sad: :sad: I know that is horrible...I am a larger frame, and 5'7 (wear size 11 shoe) so I could loose weight still won't be petite...It says my healthy weight is 118 -159...118 come one...that aint' happening. My goal weight is like 150 but haven't been that small in my adult life, the smallest i was about 165-175. Funny it says i am still obese at like 191 but i would love to be obese at 200 right now :sad: :sad: :sad:

    I only have 11 pounds to go before I'm just obese! The bmi calc I found tells me my idea weight is 121.
    :laugh: I'm pretty sure that would not be a healthy weight for me. I may be eating those words this time next year. I guess we'll see. :smile:
