    The only way I'm able not to drink soda is if I have Crystal Light ready and cold in the fridge, I love the Raspberry Lemonade and the Cranberry Apple.
  • Going to make a chart of everyone who's in the group so far tonight! And we'll track the weight loss through that :)
  • I quit soda a month ago. I also drank 4 more glasses than I normally drink of water. I also did more exercise today than yesterday I burned 659 calories today.

    YOU R DOING GREAT AT BURNING THOSE CALORIES KEEP IT UP
  • Burned 372 calories today. Only did my C25K run/walk today as my body was so sore from weight lifting yesterday. BUT on the plus side, I did manage to run 5 minutes straight...couldn't believe I did it! :happy:

    BTW, does our weekly challenge end tonight or tomorrow? Wasn't sure since we started last Saturday and I'm assuming will also be starting a new challenge tomorrow, no?

    Wow! I totally forgot to weigh in last week, probably because I haven't had any changes.
    9/5 weigh in: 210
    9/12 weigh in: 210

    I've been hanging at this weight for so long and can't seem to pass it no matter what I do, slightly frustrated!

    That's awesome! But I do have to ask what are you doing each week to make you drop so much weight? Can you give me some tips?! lol

    Thanks. First add me as a friend and you can look at my very odd food diary. It might not hold any answers for you, but it is fairly healthy. Basically I try to go the the gym 4 times a week and burn 500 calories each time. I walk on the treadmill. My Dad always used to say, "The treadmill don't lie" and it's funny but really true. I mix it up all the time and push myself! For example I'll have it set to an incline of 5.0 and speed of 3.5 I did that for a week and when it didn't make me feel like I was dying I tried other things. Sometimes I'll put the incline up to 8.0 and 4.0 speed and do that for a bit (10 mins) then change it to jogging with a low incline and speed of 4.5 (for 5 mins) and just change it to see how hard I can push myself before I feel like I'm going to die! Then I move it to a slower pace until I feel better and try again. I like to challenge myself to see what my body can take.
    Then when I work I work at a nursing home so I'm walking up and down floors all night! I just ordered 30 day shred and am I'm waiting to get that in the mail.

    I eat sandwhichs for lunch or dinner normally I'll eat a turkey, cheese, mayo, tomatoe, pickles, onion,lettuce on it. Or I'll eat a tuna sandwhich with cheese, but I eat the turkey more. I'll eat yogurt as well. I drink tons of water. Oh when I'm hungry I snack on those apple cinnamon cereal bars by hannaford, it always craves my hunger. I might eat 2 of those a day. I also might do the more calorie nice cereals (Cheerios, ect) with half a cup of milk in an actual drinking cup as a snack. That's about it. Keep in mind I live in a college dorm so my food choices are limited! But I try to stick to healthy things but dont' get me wrong I'll still drink diet root beer soda but not every day and I try to do 1 or 2 cans when I do. I also willl eat ice cream but I buy the tiny size at the gas station that has only 220 calories so I'm very calorie worried still. Or I will eat Lays kettle cooked sea salt and vinegar chips (140 for 18 chips) but when I add it in I plan for it. Like I wont eat any junk for a bunch of days in a row.. maybe every 2 days? Or something like that. But I'm in college and the food choices I have are limited so this might not work for you.

    But keep in mind this is my 3rd week on the diet (well starting my 3rd week) and you tend to lose more when you start a diet. Or so I get told. But I've only lost 9 pounds and wont to lose 81 more pounds so feel free to add me as a friend! :D

    Basically I try to mix it up and not let my body get into the same workout, eat, ect things. I mix up how many calories (under a safe amount!) I eat and what I do when working out and how I push myself. I like to think of it as my body going, "Ah! What are we doing today?!" so it doesn't get stuck in the same old thing. I've heard if you mix it up you tend to lose more weight as your body doesn't get stuck in the same events and used to it. I just keep my body from getting used to it in a sense.
