THURSDAY - AUGUST 4TH! - Day 80!
CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK - WEEK 12 OF 15
This week's challenge is to do AT LEAST 25 minutes of nonstop activity DAILY!
Today's challenge brought to us by: :drinker: jessilea35
DAILY CHALLENGE/TIP
A lot of us have those bloated, fat days! But more times than not, it’s not a weight gain but water weight. So, with that in mind, today’s challenge will be to stay under your sodium intake for the day by 500 mg. If you do go over your daily goal, drink an extra 4 oz of water for each 100 mg you are over. Keep that water retention at bay today!!!
MOTIVATIONAL SONGS OF THE DAY
1. Salt Shaker--Ying Yang Twins featuring Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz-www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJEzl31zL-I
2. Push It--Salt & Pepa- www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCadcBR95oU
3. Water--Brad Paisley- www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AHnQtY1bg4
SHARE YOUR SECRETS TO SUCCESS:
My success is all about portion control. I still continue to eat the same things I did before I started this journey. I will still eat tacos, pizza and french fries. But instead of 8 tacos or a whole pizza, I will cut those portions in half (sometimes more). There is nothing in the rule books that say you can not enjoy the great things in life, just enjoy them in moderation

Congrats to all the losers!!! You all rock!!!
Portion control is sooo important. I really have a hard time with it sometimes, but have really been trying to keep an eye on how much of everything I've been eating.
Feel free to friend me, I do not have much time to be on the boards but do post on my friends accomplishments daily.0 -
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE LOSERS. WE ARE ALL WINNERS.
Portion control is key. For me I still eat anything that I want to eat but Instead of overdoing it, I watch how much I eat, more than what I eat.
Best of luck to all in the next weeks till the end.0 -
Congrats to all the Losers but we are all winners!!!!!!! Portion control is so big in my life now. I weigh or measure everything that I put into my mouth that isn't already in a measured container. It has been such an eye opener for me. When I think of what I thought was 3 ounces of fish or anytype of meat as opposed to what it really is....I was stunned. I am stuck on weighing things....thank goodness for my scale.

I'm still around,.just on vacation! I.just moved almost 2 wks ago and am in indy through tomorrow. Diet not so wonderful on vacation....however I am watching my portions and certainly getting my exercise in! I bought tone up flip flops and have been wearing them alllll over downtown. Back to my routine Monday morning!0

I'm around. Just got back from vaca. My guess is that most threads thin out over the summer months due to people being away or simply busy. Stick around, I know I am, and I'm sure the thread will pick up again. Congrats to the most recent losers :happy:0

Hey BOBers! Sorry to have been absent so much lately. My husband's sister & family were in town from across the country for a week, followed by my brother & family being here from out of state for a week, before they moved to Germany yesterday (Army). So, hope you all are doing well! Have a happy, healthy week!! Can't believe we are nearing the end of this challenge!!0

True, guess everyone is busy these days. hope you are healthy & happy as well. You know, I am enjoying this journey as I will never be fat again. So glad for all the support you as well as mfp has given me. Although this is not the end, I have a ways to go yet, but just saying thanks.:flowerforyou: . Have a fabulous day.0 -
Here is a challenge for today. Let everyone know what this groupe has meant to you. I am not some one that checks out the board each day and responds to all of the challenges (an for that I apologise), but weighing in each week with you gouys has kept me motivated and focused.
Since this challenge has started I have lost close to 10 pounds even though there were weeks that I felt I was trappened in endless stagnation. To everyone who has kept this group going ...
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!0
