Some nutritional ideas:
1. Ensure 3 servings of vegetables per day.
2. Replace 1 meat portion with beans or lentils per day.
3. Reach 100% calcium intake for the day.
4. Replace white rice with brown rice.
5. No alcohol.
6. No candy.
7. No cookies.
8. No cheese.
Whataya'll think?

I don't know how to load pictures, either. Will let you know as soon as I find out, if you haven't already figured it out by then!
p.s. can anyone tell me how to upload pictures0 -
Congrats on the 2-lb weight-loss! You have every reason to be proud of that accomplishment, especially since you now weigh less than you did 2 years ago. Way to go! and Keep up the good work! Am looking forward to seeing your numbers on Sunday.Today I have weighed and I lost 2 pounds since Wednesday. I am very proud of myself.
I am so much more motivated these days. I am now weighing less than I was in 2010. This means so much to me! I can't wait till Sunday to see if I have dropped anymore weight.0 -
Friday:
Exercises – YES
Water 100 ozs – YES
Comments: stairs, squats exercises for the assignment0 -
Hello everyone. How is your day going? I usually make Saturdays my free day but today I didn't go overboard. I stayed under my calorie goal and I worked out twice.
Abs-yes...did biggest loser workout working arms abs and legs( crunches and situps)
Also did wii just dance 3 which is cardio
100oz-yes.
Tomorrow is weigh in and I am going to take my measurements again just to see if I have lost anything.
On a positive note I took my daughter to cheer camp and I was amazed. People were telling me I was looking good and that they could tell I am losing weight. That just made me feel so good because I always look down on myself. I can't wait till the end of the month to see what they think then. I hope I can figure out how to upload pictures on here so you all can see as well0 -
Happy Sunday everyone! Here is my weigh in and measurements for the Sunday. I won't do my measurements again till the end of the month. the only reason I am doing them again is because I went to a trainer and got them done and they were off from my previous ones. So I will be measuring with her from now on so I figured I would put up the mor accurate one.
Weight: 255 so I lost 1/2 pound since Friday
Bust: 51 1/2
Neck: 15
Hips: 56
Thigh: 31 3/4
Bicep: 18 1/4
Waist: 52
Today I will be drinking my gallon of water and I am so excited to say that I will be drinking that much from now on. I was told you should drink more if you weigh more. So that is a little bit more then 100 oz a day but at least we will get points.
I can't wait to see everyone's weight loss for the week.0 -
Hey girls! so I definitely took advantage of a day off yesterday and went way over my calories. It’s definitely insteresting to see how many calories I ate yesterday. Yesterday was more like what a normal day for me used to be like. Eating without really considering the caloireis, and now I see how much was in each thing I ate, I realized, "welll duh...no wonder you never lost weight before.”
So I enjoyed, walked and did a few things here and there and it was great and all however, I went over my calorie budget by over 1,000. oh boy....
Usually I would wake today feeling awful, thinking how I ruined it and I’m just going to get fat forever and blah blah boohoo...
Then I had a great idea, what if I made today a “make up” day? Do an extra hard work out and watch my calories closely?? It’s sure to balance out right?I had a very lean Friday and a heavy Saturday and now I’ll have a lean Sunday. IT actually makes a lot of sense to me. I’ve read many article about how to treat your diet like a bank account. The more you “work” out the more you can spend on food. If you send a little to much of food, you work more and budget better. Pretty simple.
So I’m going to go for a nice run, do some strength training and kick some *kitten*! My scale is freaking out on my right now , (probably confused at what the heck just happened over the past day) so I’ll weigh myself at the gym.
I’m so happy to have you girls to motivate me and literally remind me, this a journey and we’ll learn things about our body along the way.
Happy Sunday Bullies!0 -
I did it!! I burned 1,500 calories today by running, double shredding and playing tennis! whew!0
-
way to go. at least you burned it back off0
-
I lost 1 pound this week - my scale reads 142 as of yesterday. Slow but steady!
Sat exercise: no

Have a great Monday, everyone!0 -
I am confused. Are we supposed to take Saturday off from exercise or Sunday? I took Sunday0
-
No we were supposed to take Sunday off but I wasn't feeling well and decided to make sunday my rest day,
Welcome to week 2:
Please at the exercises made for this week. Great job for all you ladies with the weight loss! We had a sweep in weight loss this past week :0)
As for a challenge this week:
Let's make the challenge to not need carbs after 8 PM. What do you think??0 -
Ok I can handle the no carb challenge. I am finding these days that I am not hungry after two but I have been making myself eat. Then I feel like crap. Umm I would rather not eat and feel good.0
-
No carbs after 8 pm sounds good - we're on!!
For the 5 F/V part of the nutrition challenge, here is what I ate today:
MON bkfst pear (1 med) 98 cal
supp watermelon (1 c) 50 cal
(6 pm) strawberries (1 c) 46 cal
cauliflower (3 c) 98 cal
exercises: yes - my poor biceps/triceps are sooooo tired!
water: yes (128 oz =16 8-oz cups!) I must say, I was amazed at how I was NOT hungry all day!0 -
KIm, great job on water today! I found that drinking that much water made me not hungry, too. So that's probably a factor in why you don't want to eat after 2 p.m. I read somewhere (sorry, don't remember where) that it's not good for the body to go more than 12 hours without eating (initiates starvation-mode), so I always try to make sure that my supper is about 12 hours before my next day's breakfast.Ok I can handle the no carb challenge. I am finding these days that I am not hungry after two but I have been making myself eat. Then I feel like crap. Umm I would rather not eat and feel good.0 -
Kim, I totally agree with you - the effect of drinking water has really helped increase my rate of weight-loss as well.Happy Sunday everyone!
Today I will be drinking my gallon of water and I am so excited to say that I will be drinking that much from now on. I was told you should drink more if you weigh more. So that is a little bit more then 100 oz a day...
Bottoms up! 0 -
Today I drunk 14 cups of water so i went over my 100 oz.
I did front arm raises, arm raises and i did all this with a 3 pound weight.
tomorrow i am doing my walk away the pounds dvd for my legs.0 -
Monday
WATER: YES
EXERCISE YES
COMMENT: I started a capoeira class yesterday which was relally great and interesting. The coach asked me if i wanted to model for the group! So I thold him he has to work me extra hard before I could consider modeling! But it was good to hear that he saw that i was trying!
Today I'm going to run! I've decided and i'm doing it.
Also, yes the water drinking has been a huge impact in my weight loss. I'm also am going to do a personal challenge and just drink a protein shake for dinner. I find that after my workout at night I'm not hungry! So if you're not hungry, try a protein shake with some fruit and maybe a little bit a of peanut butter, i love peanut butter.
:0)
Keep GOING!! We'll post before and after pic at the end! or we can do a mid-month pic!? I'll ask around to see how it's done!
HAVE GREAT DAY!0 -
Hi ladies.....sorry I haven't posted lately....but I am keeping up with the team!
Yesterday I managed to get down 60 oz of water.....that's the most I have drank so far!!!! Gotta get moving more with the exercises tho!!!! Hope everyone has a fantastic week!!!0 -
Ok so far today I have drunk 56 oz of water.
I hate really good from my work today. I even got fat free and no sugar added ice cream.
I am going to do my walk away the pounds dvd tonight and I am looking forward to it.
I hope you all are having a great day.....0 -
Hi, ladies! Everyone's doing great - keep up the good work!
So far today, 104 oz water, but I'll drink some more tonight. I'm LOVIN' the impact water consumption is having: decreased hunger and feeling better. Finding that I don't even want to snack during the day - partially because I'm too busy drinking water! LOL
Another benefit of drinking so much water is extra exercise during the day, walking from my desk to the WC.... after all, water in, water out!
Went for a run this morning: this is new for me. Previously, I have always walked my dog in the morning. Now, for the past 2 mornings, we are going for short jogs. Today we jogged 2 miles, non-stop (except for short doggy stops)!
Will post again later, as I still have to do the legs workout for today.0 -
By the way, did you all see this week's nutritional challenge that Belinda (bmfrazie) posted? I copied-n-pasted below:
Weekly challenge - FRUITS AN VEGGIES!! We are suppose to get 5 Fruits and Veggies a day. You can earn 1 point per 5 F/ V that your team consumes. This is for a FULL serving not a partial serving. When you report back to your captain how many fruits and veggies you had you must also list what you had. --- Captains please enter in the total number earned and the sheet will figure out the math for you. If you only enter 1 point for each 5 you will not get your full points. You must add the total daily. You can get unlimited points based off of how many fruits and veggies your team earns. (1 point per 5 consumed)0 -
Also, here is the legs workout that bmfrazie posted for today (copied-n-pasted from "Exercises" thread):
Tuesday - 8/07 - Legs
2 minute Bear Walk
100 Jumping Jacks
50 Squats
50 Lunges
50 Calf Raises
You can break this up, and make it a circuit if you like.0 -

2. hope you had an awesome run today! let us know how it went.0 -
I am doing good today.
I am going to workout for an hour today since it is full body. I am going to do my walk away the pounds 1 mile and then do my biggest loser last chance workout. Then I will do whatever else we have to do. I can't wait to see how everyone else does today.
