    Hey you faked it well though...I just reread your response, and I never would have known you WEREN'T talking about a food scale...unless I went to look for a Homedics food scale and found they didn't make one lol...although a nap might not be a bad idea...go have some veggies or a piece of fruit and then have nap time lol

    HA! I'm glad I nearly had it faked. LOL I've had my 2 fruit servings for the day. The veggies are already hard for me. I usually eat fruit all day long, but now I'm trying to remember to grab some carrotts or something instead of my usual apple/orange/banana after my workout. We'll see!

    Last night we went to Dave's parents for supper. I ate some veggies, though I don't know how many servings it was. But I gave in and ate a roll and 2 chocolate chip cookies. Plus we'd made pancakes for breakfast so I went over my calories. :grumble:

    I walked on the treadmill for an hour this morning (instead of half an hour) to try and make up for it.

    I have a question. When I work out I usually get my heartrate to 150-160 but in less than 5 minutes after I'm done working out, it's back to 80-90 where it was before I started. (Gotta love the :heart: rate moniter!) Does that mean I'm healthy so I recover quickly or does that mean that after I'm done working out, I don't burn anything extra because I'm back to "normal"?

    Hey all,

    I'm checking in too! Well, the last few days have been crazy for me. I ended up going home from my mom's. We're gonna try ONE last time to work things out.

    Its kinda cool though because he decided that he'd really like to lose some weight too... he used to be really buff (which I'm not usually into.. but for some reason this time i am) but he's just kinda gotten fat over the last year or so :laugh: so he's trying to lose weight too.

    he has really bad asthma though (blew a hole in his lung twice in his life!) so he's pretty much focusing on diet and strength training.

    ANYWAY, enough about him. I did great yesterday! I stayed within my calories, worked out, and stayed focused on my goals all day! :bigsmile: Weekends are usually tough for me so I hope some of my black team pals will be hanging around the boards this weekend to help me stay focused. Not drinking this weekend though. That's one of my things...

    I can only have one night of drinking for every 5 lbs I lose. (i know that still sounds like alot but this is coming from a girl who was drinking 3 litres of rum a week about a month and a half ago) The awesome thing is that when I don't drink often, my tolerance goes way down so i don't need nearly as much to get me feeling good! :drinker:

    Ok, this has gotten long enough! I hope to see everyone around this weekend and would totally be up for another round of Simon Says!!! :flowerforyou:

    Go Black Team!! WHOOP WHOOP!!

    I'm sure I don't get the fruits and veggies I require per day.. good goal to focus on.. Can I start by implementing one or the other first?? cause if I try to do both I know I won't make it.. :D

    Drinking 8 cups of water per day!! Is anyone taking supplements like a multi-vitamin, vitamin c, or omega 3's??

    Hello fellow black team members!

    I am going to try to post some replies to all the posts on here. I take a multi-vitamin, a B-12 supplement and a calcium pill. I am thinking about adding fish oil, but not sure I want to. I have heard that it is good for the skin. Need to check into that.

    I love to drink water so 8 cups is actually really easy for me. Somedays I actually drink about 20 cups of water. It is giving up the Coke that is hard. I easily drank 4 or 5 of them most days!

    I have ate a banana, lettuce, green peppers and I suppose salsa doesn't count does it? :laugh:

    Have a great day everybody and be proud of yourselves for getting healthier!

    Oh my goodness Amanda! If you gave up your Coke addiction, do you realize how many calories you'd save yourself a DAY! That would be a BIG difference!

    I still am on prenatal vitamins since I am breastfeeding but other than that, not much! I try to get all I need from food. The omega/fishoil though I'd like to look into b/c I think it is supposed to be really good for your heart. I think...

    Hey,

    I was thinking...


    We should all take before pictures and when the challenge is done take after pictures!

    I think that would be pretty nifty. :laugh:

    Marla this is what I did

    Arm
    Chest at biggest point
    under breastuses
    at the smallest part of your waist, or where you bend
    at the belly button
    on the widest part of your hips (:sad: )

    It is just getting started. We are going to weigh in by the show each week...wed I am sure.

    We are taking this week to kinda gather ourselves and get organized. Did you send your weight to Bo?
    She is keeping the weights logged.

    I think we are going to have a challenge each week...other than just weight loss.

    Laura suggested eating our veggies this week. She said 3 fruits/veggies. For some this will be hard, for others it is a snap...next week someone else will come up with a challenge.

    If you read thru some of the threads, we have had some fun too! Simon Says got started yesterday and we had a good time checking in and doing some!!
