    November goals:

    Lose 7lb.
    Exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes daily.
    Stay under 1200 calories

    Welcome aboard. Don't forget to make sure you drink your water. That is a huge part of weightloss.

    If you are exercising make sure you eat at least half of your exercise calories. As several members of TEAM FIT can tell you those calories make a difference.

    Thanks for joining our team

    Ok - so I have off today in honor of our Veterans so I slept in.:bigsmile: I am hoping i can get in my exercise when my son goes down for a nap or I will have to workout after he goes to bed tonight.

    Tuesday - 25 min workout, 11 glasses water

    Ariel - Congrats on taking the plunge with the snacks. The almonds are a great choice. I like those chips ahoy 100 calorie packs too. I like that it taste similar to a cracker with the texture but you get that cookie feel too. That recipe sounds great. If you have chicken breast I just like saute onion and bell pepper with strips of fajita seasoned chicken. I sometimes add salsa and cheese to make it taste like a fajita without the tortilla. I also take chicken breast and bake in oven with bbq sauce and then serve with green beans. Those are quick and easy that don't require a lot of ingredients.

    Karen - I am so happy for you. 3 lbs is great. You deserve it.

    jolinemm - don't get discouraged. Keep up your workouts, watch your calorie intake (make sure you eat those exercise calories) and make sure you are getting enough water. Hang in there.

    Thanks Kim! I am taking your advise on the exercise calories so I'm trying to make sure I eat at least half of them. But i'm finding it hard to do. lol. i dont really have much to eat at home besides what i usually eat. but i'll find something. maybe have some toast with some jelly or something.... whatever the case, I will make sure I eat at least half. :drinker:

    half way through the week everyone, lets keep up the excellent work!!:glasses: :tongue:

    yesterday: 9 glasses of water and 70 mins of exercise
    today: 8 glasses of water and 70 mins of exercise.

    So I had posted a new thread asking about jillian michaels work out dvd called banish fat, boost metabolism, like how people liked it and how effective it was and someone told me that jillian did an interview and said she designed that work so that you burn between 500-600 calories!!! I was like OMG I have to buy that dvd! So I'm going to Wal-Mart after work to pick it up! I am sooo excited! So if after this week if i didnt lose any weight with the 30 day shred, then I'm going to start the bfbm dvd! I am going to buy a heart rate monitor this weekend too so that way I can be accurate with the calories I've burned! I cant wait! I will let you all know how the work out is!!:wink::drinker: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou: :smile: :tongue:

    Be strong everyone! The week is almost over!! We can do this!!:glasses: :happy:

    amm114 - thank your husband for his service from my family too. my husband and i watched the history channel yesterday with the 360 wwII stories. I thought about my grandfather alot yesterday but it makes you really appreciate all that our troops do for us. they should be told more often how much we appreciate and support them. I don't think they get the respect they deserve these days.

    Ariel - good luck with the new dvd. remember to stick with it and the first week or two you may see a slight gain because of the new routine but don't give up.

    Wednesday - 9 glasses water, 0 workout
    Thursday - 30 min workout so far

    Hope everyone has a quick Thursday so that we get to the weekend faster :tongue:

    30 min cardio:grumble: :noway: i should have done more
    7 cups of water (I think the most ive had to date for one day:drinker: but i will beat that today):bigsmile:
    and strength training

    My running partner ignored all my text and when I saw her she didnt say a word. I didnt know what to say! I dont want to anoy her by asking to much if we are gonna do this thing but I would really like to do it. Maybe I will have to face my fear of looking stupid when I run and just do it by myself!!!!!!:frown:
    Ohh and I told you all I gained up to 175 well I lost 1 pound so i'm working my way back down!!!

    Thanks everybody! :flowerforyou: Today my husband noticed my weight loss for the first time - that felt great! :blushing:

    Friday - not a great day - 0 exercise - 6 cups of water. I went way over on calories...not sure how much I went over, but I totally splurged on a margarita, chips and salsa, puffy taco, cheese enchilada, rice, and beans. YIKES! But it tasted oh so good. You know, as I was eating it, I noticed that I really savored it much more than before...I knew I couldn't eat that very often, so I enjoyed every bite. But back to the straight and narrow today! :smile:

    My last post said "Friday total" but it should be Wednesday's total.

    Thursday: 4 glasses of water, 45 mins cardio
    Friday: 4 glasses of water, no exercise (so I didn't weigh in)
    Saturday: 2 glasses of water, 45 mins cardio, lost 3 pounds!! Probably because I was sick last week, so I don't expect those 3 pounds to stay off. :grumble:
