    The spread sheet data is sorted and I pick the top 5 losers according to percent of weight loss. I hope that explains it.

    You should not be surprised at being a winner. You are doing awesome.

    Good Morning. Happy Thursday (I think)

    Thursday's Mini Challenge:

    :flowerforyou: Food - FAT!!! Watch the amount of fat you consume. Weight loss range is 55-77 grams or less of fat per day.
    Choose lean meats, fish and poultry. Limit these to less than 6 ounces per day. Other good low-fat sources of protein include dried beans and peas, tofu, low-fat yogurt, low-fat milk, low-fat cottage cheese, and tuna fish packed in water. Choose skim or 1% milk. Enjoy low-fat cheeses (no more than 3 grams of fat per ounce) or nonfat cheeses or spreads. Try low-fat or fat-free versions of your favorite margarine, salad dressing, cream cheese, and mayonnaise.
    When preparing foods: Trim all visible fat and remove the skin from poultry. Bake, broil, or grill meats on a rack that allows fat to drip from the meat. Avoid frying foods. Sprinkle lemon juice and herbs/spices on cooked vegetables instead of using cheese, butter, or cream-based sauces. Try plain, nonfat, or low-fat yogurt and chives on baked potatoes rather than sour cream. Reduced-fat sour cream still contains fat, so you must limit the amount you use.
    :flowerforyou: Cardio/Strength - Today we are going to combine cardio and strength. Lets do a five minute walk in place warm up, then a two minute jog in place, then 10 squats. Repeat the jog and squats 8 more times and finish off with a five minute cool down.
    :flowerforyou: Quote of the Day - Think of yourself as a toy train. All toy trains de-rail now and then. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back on track. This is totallly me today.

    Have a super day.

    Keep smiling :smile: :wink: :smile: ,

    TGIF Everybody,

    Hope you all had a great day yesterday. I have a very busy day today so this is going to be short and sweet.

    Friday Mini Challenge:

    Food - eat recommended level of protein. This will help repair muscle that may be damaged during exercise.
    Cardio - throughout the day do 100 jumping jacks.
    Strength - combined in or seperate lets do 100 pushups. You pick the kind.
    Quote of the Day - The power of one - one thought, one action, one solution. Only "YOU" can control what "YOU" do.

    I hope you have a great day.

    Keep smiling :smile: :wink: :smile: ,

    I have binged on candy 4 days in a row. Even on the days I exercised, I just binged late at night. That's apparently my crazy time, between 4 and 9 at night. So today I'm starting over, wiping the slate clean. I have ballet this morning, so that will help me get my day going. Halloween party tonight, so I have to remember MODESTY! I know I'm gonna drink, so I need to make room for it in my calories......I cant focus on the negative, I have to keep focusing on the positive!

    Good Morning Everybody,

    Just a quick update that I figured out the weekly and month winners last night and left the paper on my desk at home so you will have to patiently wait for the announcement.

    Thanks for your patience,
