    I ride my bike to work every day (a total of 2.2 miles) and I run 3-4 times a week. I also use my stepper sometimes and walk sometimes (the last two are more irregular). I mostly do all this because it's cheap and I can't go to the gym.

    I'm so totally new at this, so hope I'm not being redundant with my QOTD!!! Here goes: How many days per week do you "really" do cardio? And do any of you try to get in some exercise more than once per day to get over a plateau?

    I try to do cardio 6 daya week right now, if for now other reason than to warm up my muscles before I go into another one of my workouts! And yes sometimes i do it more than once per day not the cardio but the exercise.

    Thursday QOTD

    What's your favorite new healthy meal?

    I would say I love spinach and egg whites sandwich. I'm a big carb gal and Hispanic as well, so tortillas took over my meals. Now with my new found research, I manage to indulge in healthier carbs for my morning breakfast.

    Thursday QOTD

    Mine would have to be salad I love it! Not those rubbish salads where you get just some old manky lettuce and a tomato I mean the kind with loads of veg can't beat it.

    hmm... I love salad, stir-fry, anything home-made. I haven't really changed what I eat- only the portion size, and have been careful about snacking. :D

    My new favorite meal? Ahh, not sure, I love pasta with tomato sauce and veggies though, or fried chicken with veggies. I haven't really changed my eating habits for main meals that much, I've mostly just stopped the excessive snacking.

    Edit: Hah, just saw I said the same thing as my battle buddy Meg. :D

    My new favorite meal is probably my new and creative salads!! Adding cheese and nuts and topping it all off with my own creation of balsamic vinegar and garlic in the smallest splash of olive oil!!

    I don't think I have a favorite new healthy meal. I enjoy eggbeaters with vegetables

    I don't know what my fav new healthy meal is, but I can say that I LOVE roasted vegetables. Just any kind of vegetable, with a splash of olive oil or even just some no-cal cooking spray, salt and pepper and it becomes so yummy! Looking forward to some good squashes and pumpkins for the fall

    Hello Ladies!

    I had a wonderful time in Vegas, but not it's back to reality. As promised here is the weight loss by percent (%) for every one that was part of the team - I even included those that decided to leave the challenge early because I wanted to give an overall loss per team color.

    OVERALL SHINING DIAMONDS LOST 43.28%...GIVE YOURSELF A HUGE PAT ON THE BACK!
