Jenn, those are really cute.

jlb123, you are so awesome with the calories burned. Keep it up

lildebbie, I am proud that you stayed within a healthy calorie intake, I am proud that you have not quit and I will see you here tomorrow. I am proud that you got everything done today even when you did not feel good:flowerforyou:

Dawnannw, glad you decided to check us out. Here is our routine, we have some questions we answer every day

Did I stay within a healthy Calorie range?
Did I exercise?
Did I drink my minimum of 64 oz of water today?
Tell us something you are proud of that you did today

That is ongoing, the other ongoing challenge is add at least 5 minutes each week to the amount of cardio you did the week before.

We weigh in on Fridays. The person who has the highest percentage of weight loss chooses our challenge for the week. It begins on Sat. and ends on Friday. Here is the calculator to figure your percentage

Okay girls did I remember to tell our new members everything???? Some of us are actually putting how many calories we ate for the day. It kind of helps keep us all in check with that. Okay I think that is it. Everyone have a great night.

ooo Jenn you are talented

Hi everybody. I was not able to check in yesterday. So here is my check in for yesterday:

Calories: 1,342
Exercise: No
Water: What water? :sad: I really can't account for a drop of water.

I promise I will do better with the water today.

check in for yesterday:
calories - bad .... didn't have time to make supper until late and I was starving, and went on a major binge of cheese and french fries
exercise - none
water - 40 oz ... not enough
proud - I made good food choices until dinner

Great job with the powerwalk, Momma! I know what you mean about the sore arms -- since I've been working out on the treadmill, my abs have been KILLING me! Normally I do lots of crunches every other day but I haven't done any since last Wednesday. Even when I do those my abs aren't as sore as they have been since I started running/walking.

I'm off work until Thursday because I really needed a break after last month. This morning I got up & decided to go "shopping" in a bin full of clothes I haven't been able to wear in years (or ever). I found all of the awesome skirts I've never been able to wear. I got a couple of them over my hips for the first time ever but I still can't wear any yet (they're all size 14 and 16). I have a lot more clothes go to through and try on, but I've already found 2 pairs of work pants and a pair of jeans I can wear comfortably! I probably ordered them from ON online & then thought "oh, I'll be able to wear them if I lose a few pounds" and kept them instead of returning them. I'm pretty excited about having at least 2 more pairs of pants for work!

Thanks for the push today.....I still feel like crap but I did push and got on the elliptical for 20 minutes day today...not the 25-30 I was doing last week but better than the 10 yesterday. i have snacked today but still in my cals, I was starving this morning and I got an apple then some graham crackers. I am still with breakfast and luch under 1000 calories with all that...leaves me plenty for dinner

I think we are having steak salad tonight...yummy.

We need to get a new filter or something for the water on the fridge I try to drink that it and it is just nasty...sticking to the bottle water....Just got 16 down going to go get another 16 yay me!@!!

Hi all,

I just got the link so here goes:

Did I stay within a healthy Calorie range? Better today. I have 500 left instead of 1,000 like yesterday!

Did I exercise? I am going to take my niece and nephew birthday gift shopping tonight. I plan to WALK in the mall - ugh! They are young and will keep me going!

Did I drink my minimum of 64 oz of water today? On my way - have 32 oz. done and plan to drink the other 32 at the mall.

Tell us something you are proud of that you did today. I will be proud after I walk the mall. I am not happy with my food choices today - Taco Bell binge.

Congrats, Jenn, on your closet shopping! LOL

Hi ladies!

calories: yes 1298
exercise: no
water: not quite
proud of: my hubby said my pants were baggy in the bum. can't wait for the waist to feel loose.

Hi all,

My son had a bad time tonight. He goes to a social skills class every tuesday. He was asked to leave tonight because he would not quit jumping off the furniture. He can come back next week. I live about 20 minutes from the class, and I cried the entire way home. Now I have a huge headache. I can't understand it. He will listen to me and I can control him. But a room full of women who are counsellors can not. I know it is not their fault, I just feel overwhelmed. Anyways, I am Thankful that I have a faith in God or I would probably fall apart (more than I have)

Here is my post for today

Calories 1600
exercise Yes burned 600 calories
Water Pretty sure I made it. I have not kept count but I just had a 32 ounce and I know I have had a few through out the day

What I am proud of, I am proud that I am a Mom!! I am proud that even though I had a rough time this evening I did not come home and over eat to compensate for that.


By the way you all did so good today. Reading your posts and what you have done what you are proud of really makes me smile. I know I said that before but I just wanted to say it again.:flowerforyou:

ok.. here goes my first post for this group!

1100 calories
treadmill 60 minutes
128 oz of water
Proud that even though I was in the dumps today I did not let it get the best of me!
:flowerforyou:

You are going to love it in this group. You did great today.

11.10.09
Calories: 1524 in which is high for me, but I'm starting to attempt to be a good girl and eat some of my exercise calories which is something I haven't been doing. The last thing I want to do is royally mess up my metabolism by undereating.
Exercise: 785
Water: I think I will make it to 64 before I go to bed.
Proud: It's 1.30am and I'm hungry now but instead of eating more so late, I'm just going to drink a glass of water and go to bed.
