    Wow! in the 10 minutes it took me to write that last posting we got 5 new members and a couple more after it as well! Yay! Welcome! I am adding y'all to the list and you'll see your name on the Week 1 progress list as long as you also check back in this Sunday and post your Current Weight (CW) don't forget! Glad to have you all!

    Hey Y'all!

    Just wanted to let those that were in the St. Patty's Day Challenge know that I finally got the last weigh in list posted. We lost over a Dozen members in that last week, I think lots of people were struggling and sadly gave up but hopefully they've found new motivation. Anyway here's the link so you can see the final results of the members who stuck with it all the way to the end, remember since it's on the 500th post, if you reply on that thread it will start a new chapter, the link to that chapter will be on that last post, (if no one replies then there won't be a link) Seems like a good way to close the challenge. Take care y'all on to new adventures and success with the Easter Challenge.

    How is everyone doing? Any tips/ motivation / words of wisdom for today ? Anyone?

    Try to fit in 10 mintes of workout/ cardio here and there throughout the day and before you know you would have done 30 -40 minutes of exercise for the day. And stay hydrated throughout the day.

    goodluck everyone!

    I know its only three pounds, but that's about how slowly the weight has been coming off these last 6-8 weeks.

    How's everyone doing???

    I have managed to work out the last 3 days in a row...taking a rest day today. Drinking lots of water & have changed my diet a little...hopefully this will be the boost I need to lose those last stubborn 9 lbs!!!!

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    I'm doing insanity 6 days a week and doing Timothy Ferriss's slow carb diet while taking cold showers morning and night (freezing cold)

    It's a little intense but I eat about 1800 calories a day (with workout calories) and after reading 4-hour body I'm hoping to crush my 190 goal by easter.

    Oh and I binge every thursday to spike my insulin and boost metabolism

    I have a tip, although some may have heard of it before. Get some kid sized plates and start eating off of those, people tend to put more on their plate when the plate is bigger (or space to fill since it is a bigger plate). If the plate is smaller you won't fill it up as much. Plus the section plates are perfect for portions and servings. Hopefully that makes sense.

    Here is another tip, put down the fork after you take a bite to eat. If you have your hand or touching the fork you tend to put more in your mouth and feel full later on, whereas if you put the fork down you feel full when you actually get full instead of when you are overstuffed. I really hope all of this makes sense.

    Ok, I am getting a late start but here it goes...I am at 160 and would like to be at least at 155 by Easter. I will try to check in as often as I can but its hard for me to get online unless my girls are in bed. Hope everyone is doing well! Keep up the hard work!

    Doing well! Had a bit of a pizza binge yesterday but I worked it all off on the treadmill, I'm trying to mentally wrap my head around the idea that I can eat 'bad' foods once in a while and that they're not BANNED! Best wishes to everyone!

    Goodmorning everyone! Hope everybody got off to a good start! Even if you fall off the wagon, jump in right back. Don't let a bad meal turn into a bad day and a bad day turn into bad week.

    Good luck and 'good-eating' day to all!
