    LOL i just noticed that. Team Victoria eat Bella ... Why do you hate Bella?

    well...i don't exactly hate bella - i just think victoria is particularly kickas$. also, it's kind of going to be my theme since for the midnight showing of breaking dawn, i'm going as victoria and my husband is going as edward - so i ate bella and stole her boyfriend! :tongue: not that james isn't crazy hot, but my husband makes an excellent edward. actually, he is in the yearbook (he teaches high school history) for the best hollywood look-alike (they had a twilight vs. harry potter spirit day) - i'll see if i can get that picture posted - it's pretty cool!

    i loved the first victoria! i didnt like the second as much... she jus didnt have that umph like the first one...

    Is it to late for me to join I didnt see this thread untill today im a BIG twilight fan and cant wait for the new movie to come out.
  • my 1 weeks goals:

    Goal 1. No snacking between meals, its a killer
    Goal 2. Kick it up a gear on the exercising

    Good luck everyone.
  • Claire... it's actually good to snack between meals, it keeps your metabolism going.... but it depends what you're snacking on.

    Hey Chantriste thanks for organising us, this is going to be fun :)

    Goals this week are hard as my mum is really unwell so there have been lots of hospital visits and I'm really out of routine.
    I think my best strategy will be:
    1. Don't let stress affect my eating (ie. not over- or under-eating), stick to within 100 or so of my net cal goal.
    2. Exercise every day, try to fit in my scheduled runs.

    Hope you all have a great week

    PS. think I might change from Team Jacob to Team Diego :)

    Two things I am doing differently this week is exercising everyday and not eating after 9 p.m. These are two things that I have not been doing very well. I usually exercise for three or four days and then stop for a few days and i think that is one of the reasons i have not been losing weight. I also tend to eat heavy meals after 9 p.m. and then go straight to bed which is also not good. I have been doing well with both of these things this week! :)

    I didn't log for three days straight (and MFP called me out on it!! haha) So my goal throughout the challenge is to log every single day, even if I jump off the bandwagon and get a Chicken sandwich from Wendy's. Not that I did. Um. Moving on :)

    even if I jump off the bandwagon and get a Chicken sandwich from Wendy's.

    oh. my. gosh. are you kidding me? my idea of jumping off of the bandwagon is eating half a pack of raw cookie dough and a whole can of nacho cheese pringles, and washing it down with half a liter of dr. pepper - not that i every actually have done that... :blushing:

    glad you're back - we'll hold you to it!
  • Count me in!! Team Edward!!

    Funny you should mention that. whenever I bring my husband grocery shopping with me he ALWAYS manages to grab a tube of Pillsbury cookie dough and we end up devouring it on the way home. He doesn't come shopping with me anymore. hahaha

    New motivation....just bought my daughter a couple of Twilight t-shirts from cafepress.com and spent the whole time on the website thinking I want this shirt, nah...that shirt...ooooooh look at THAT shirt...

    I just need to lose a few more before I feel completely comfortable wearing them...so new motivation has just kicked in.
