A Lot to Lose Challenge "B-LOSE-ING IT"(team closed)

K2quiere- Guess we're the only 2 that drank any water or stayed below carbs I didn't hear from anyone else for Sunday.:frown:

So 125 for you and 235 for me.360 total.

Thanks for reminding me k2quiere, what day do we want this week. It really doesn't matter to me any day is good. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical then 30 or so minutes of weightlifting at aerobic intensity with squats. I stayed under calories and did the 50 dumbbell flies as part of my weightlifting. I even did them in a squat ugh my thighs will be sore tomorrow.:laugh: The best part is as long as I keep the grain and sugar out of my diet my knees can manage the squats well. 45pts

Clala82- I am not sure how to get it to post but I know others have one so maybe post the question on the A lot to Lose Week 2 thread. Kinda from there is who is working on a team image for us with our new motto, she would most likely know.

I am trying the Dukan Diet and add all protein except his oat bran pancake thing. I was craving carbs like you wouldn't believe until I ate the little pancake thing. It hit the spot. I am trying it to see if the oat bran will cause any inflammation I hope not but if it does I will have to cut it. I am starting right into phase 2, I can't do more than one day at a time of all protein. So it is alternating days all protein(except the oat bran pancake) and then protein and veggies the other days but I am adding a little fruit, too. So I am doing it modified with the fruit(cantaloupe).

Next: I was avoiding this message because I really do not want to upset anyone, but we are a team so here goes- the other thing I need is some of you are not reporting numbers to me each night. I have to get them to Jen and she is getting them late since I have to PM some members to get numbers. You can either post in here like some of you have been really good about doing or you need to send me a PM with your numbers but I need it before you go to bed each night or at least really early in the morning. Yesterday I only knew water for myself and k2quiere so we didn't get our full points for water which would have given us 500 points. Jen wants me to pass on that she has at least one person on the waiting list and if this challenge is something you don't think you can keep up with right now please let me know so we can get you switched out. I don't want anyone to feel like they are obligated to stay on the team if they cannot keep up with everything, we understand you have things other than this challenge in your life and I think some are also doing other challenges as well. I just wanted to throw that out there. Of course we would love for everyone to stay but the point of the challenge is to push yourself to do more and your team needs your best effort. Okay team captain hat off.

Good news we have a new member he is Biggo3175 please add him to your friends. Yep you read right we have a guy on our team!:drinker: Welcome Biggo3175!:flowerforyou:

K2quiere that is a great total!:drinker:

Okay so I ended with 60 min of exercise and stayed under sodium but never finished the reverse crunches :frown: sorry team. My hip was killing me by the second set so I do not think those are a challenge I can do. I will nail the one tomorrow though! So my points are 35 for today.

Karen wow girl you were the exercise beast today!:drinker: 75pts!!!!!!:drinker:

Kinda finished our image and I uploaded it to photobucket but I can't get it to post. I did the

Wednesday Challenges::drinker:
Nutrition - Under Carbs
Exercise - 50 forward lunges (http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp?exercise=22)

And as usual you will earn 10 pts for every 20 minutes of activity.:bigsmile:

:laugh: Sure makes the threads more colorful! It was bigger but she shrunk ours some and it's better I love the designs though. Rosy the Riveter :bigsmile: The other one turned out great, too. We have the only guy in the challenge on our team!:drinker:

So far I have done 80 minutes of activity, 60 on the bike and 20 calisthenics including the lunges. I will most likely be under carbs I am at 17gm right now since I had eggs for breakfast and some low carb ham and cheese muffins made with coconut flour(only 6 tbsp in 24 muffins) and I had bison burgers and a salad for lunch with tomatoes and cheese. I will probably have the same for dinner but will see. I got a great deal on ground bison my little luxury since I am allergic to beef, Smith's(Kroger) had it on sale.:drinker: I mixed it up with some seasoning and colby jack cheese and some dried minced onion let it sit while I rode the bike and did my exercises then cooked them up it was sooo yummy!
