Great info on lycopene! Thank you for all your work and amazing creative challenges you have served up for us ~ damn tasty fun stuff! Ciao :)

I finished the sit ups and plank tonight and updated on the sheet (dang I missed that we were supposed to do it 3/29 sorry) I don't have a camera icon so no pic to post. My ankle is so much stronger and more flexible since I have started the challenge. Overall toning up all over, my arms have muscle shapes again instead of…

on a desktop at work - no "camera icon above reply box, it won't let me paste intp the little document deop down either...

No camera above the reply box on my phone...just B bold ...I italic... ¶| hard return quote, code, spoiler on drop down...and smiley face with smileys :o

Do you need to be a paid member to post photos?? I am not seeing any icons to attach them, my phone doesn't let me copy and paste....?? Great job everyone - the hard work and life changing choices are paying off!! Inspirational, thank you

I roasted some sliced baby red potatoes that I marinated for about an hour in olive oil, Rosemary and Fennel, delicious. For a new spice I found saffron flowers at a tienda near by, mixed some into Greek yogurt (along with my usual cinnamon, nutmeg) spooned over diced apples and pineapple, okay but will try alone. One…

The sleep video is great! I did watch the whole video Monday, but last night it conked me out :smile:

Ouch Gayle! Yikes

Love the spice challenge. (This will be a tasty week - Fennel, anise, cardamon, tumeric, coriander, and cumin are all on my shelf already but star anise, saffron ($$) and fenu geek I haven't played with. I will seek them out and create some custom curries for me) Yoga awesome! One of my gf is doing an online yoga class 3x…

Thanks Leanne, I wasn't sure if it would count since it was after midnight and did not want to be presumptuous about it. My "days" are not traditional by any means, she said it was all good, the day starts when we wake up - yeah!!

Iand accountable to myself for... 1 - what I choose to put on my plate and in my mouth because I am going to log it. I cleaned up my cupboards after the sugar challenge and donated a bunch of convenient crappy (but delicious) sugar loaded, empty calorie, good for nothing but thigh rub food (damn I miss my poptarts!!) to…

Hey Mel ...it's still my Sunday...worked 'till 1am, going to post my accountability challenge now (horrible procrastinator I am!) Understand if it doesn't count... Supposed to work noon -9pm, planned for doing it after work...it is still after work... Whine whine whine... Que sera sera. Really love all the great stuff you…

Team 1 Rocks!! You are all awesome ladies and I am glad to have such amazing team mates! I work weird hours, didn't get off 'till 1am tonight/Monday 1am that is. I am going to go post up on accountability challenge, not sure if it will count but it is still my Sunday! (At least 'till I go to bed about 3am). Miles weren't a…

Awesome work Isabelle & Cheryl, very inspiring! I too am 5' 6" and hope I can get myself to back to 140, hoping for 160 by my 54th birthday in May ( & Hawaii!!) Lesley, so sorry, was that the crash on Powell, just awful, prayers to you and your family. Did the Belly dances today, quite fun! I love to dance period, cranky…

Oh yeah, plus we are doing stairs together, or in twos, just to work our calves n get out of our chairs

Fabulous Leanne! Lovely lady, cute dress too! That is awesome you have found work buddies for round 2! We are having fun at my work - creating pain and tight tussies together. I work in a produce processing plant, and we are also healthy snacking together - grapes, apples and nuts have replaced our afternoon shared bags of…

Anyone doing the dumbbell/ arms challenge? I just finished my first 30 day and I am going to start again ( ding ding round 2!) I used 3lb dumb Bells first time around, just picked up a 5.lb set. Who's in?? And I am doing the squat challenge again with 6 ladies at work. My ankle is much more flexible after working the first…

Creative substitutions - Anything can be healthier with subs. Quinoa flour adds protein....applesauce instead of eggs ...half the sugar and fresh chopped stevia leaf...etc

Guess I did this wrong... Do Over! My favorite foods generally involve chocolate, dark chocolate - creamy, sweet but a bit tart. Pizza, it can be dressed up so many ways, loaded with veggies and spicy meat, flavorful and filling, plenty of fiber if you load the right veggies on. Cookies, crunchy or soft, chocolate chips,…

My go to snack, Roasted Edamame! High in fiber & protein, fell in love with them when I visited my son in Japan in 2005 ( He is teacher and has lived there over a decade - miss my grandson's terribly! His wife is Japanese) I make them at home occasionally , just roast them in the oven like pumpkin seeds. But I usually just…

Just "did' the stairs at work, 21 steps each, one flight at each side of the warehouse... I already had 36 flights, did it 14 times (up, across, down, up back across down, repeat - but it registered it differently - pushed me to 55. I have a townhouse/condo - 14 steps upstairs, and 5 down into a "sunken" living room. I…

I only can do partials on this, but whoa the burn, the burn! No heel lifts on the right side, no jumping/ springing up on the froggie, etc (ruptured Achilles won't function like it used to) Very fun video, she is so damn perky lol

Way behind you all, but have worked myself up to 80, my leg and Achilles are adjusting and getting much stronger. But I am only at 80, in 2 sets of 40 with an ankle/ achiles massage n stretch break. You all inspire me, thank you

Mexican Devil's & green Devil's - basicly deviled eggs with a twist.. Hard boil a dozen eggs, peel, cut in half, pull out yolks and set aside. For half of the eggs, mash an avocado, make your favorite version of guac, and stuff. For the other half, mash the yolks, mix with 1/4 cup sour cream, dice a jalapeño ( or two),…

I am not a techie person but decided I wanted to track my HR, daily steps (phone pedometer worked great but I don't always carry my phone) and get a better idea about my sleep patterns (insomnia, argh!). I really wanted a jawbone but my carrier didn't have them yet and they had a "deal" on the HR. I am really happy with…

Fabulous work Cheryl & Gayle. Congrats Melissa! Glad your shoulder healed up quickly, yeah those burpees are killer - I can not do the froggie thing ( stupid Achilles!) Just read through the thread, everyone is doing great, don't sweat the number, please just have fun, feel great about what you're doing and let the chips…

Hope everyone is well and Spring is greeting you with good health. Checking in just because.. SW 185, CW 177.4 , GW 160 ~jazzypdx in Oregon

Gawworthingtonance is fun - and really quick, agree with Leannv68 on time, I replayed the final 5 or six times, or more...was sweaty at 45 minutes and wished I had her sash to mop my brow with - LOL, a hop skip n kicking fool for a few minutes, definitely fun certainly not graceful :) Congratulations Leanne on your…

Hi All, Happy St Patrick's Day! You are all such a fabulous group of women! I have trouble keeping up, my phone just doesn't do well trying to get through the thread but I find inspiration and joy every time I do read through a few pages. I'm doing three 30 day challenges, but modified for myself because of iinjuries/weak…
