I just bought some Noosa using the coupon I got in the mail. I picked the safe choice of lemon... OMG! SO GOOD! It's like creamy whole milk with honey and lemon. I'll definitely be buying again!

This week will be a fun one! :smiley: Really looking forward to having lower impact challenges, especially since my knee has been getting worse and worse. All the walking made last week's challenges challenging. :wink:

Challenge #1 I chose the 10.49 IDITAROD. While I was planning doing it all at once, my week ended up being crazy so I spaced it out over the week. Today, it was cold and windy but my boys and I got outside and put in the final 2.9 miles of the 10.49! @MissionEnforcer I added my points to the spreadsheet before I posted…

Challenge #3 I gave up creamer in my morning coffee. It was nice to save the 70-ish calories every day. It also felt good to go back to the way I first statted drinking my coffees: all black! I will still indulge myself every once in a while with a little coffee in my creamer but I enjoy having those extra calories for the…

Hello Team 2 and happy Friday eve! This week has kicked my butt! I went to Pilates on Monday but Tuesday and Wednesday I wasn't able to do much in the way of exercise. I did get two short walks in yesterday to add some miles to our total. Work/life seems to have settled today and I'll be hitting the gym this afternoon, and…

I drink, on average, 160 oz of water a day. Usually more on higher intensity days. I pee a lot. Maybe every couple of hours. I've just gotten used to it, I guess.

1. What was your starting weight and height? I'm 5'7" ; myy highest weight was close to 300 lbs; I was 247 lbs when I started MFP in April of 2016 2. What is your current weight/goal weight? My current weight is 176 lbs; my dream goal weight is 145 lbs 3. How long did it take you to reach your goal? Still in the process,…

Hi Kasi, and welcome! :smiley: For Challenge #3, I've decided to give up creamer/milk in my coffee. I used to drink it straight but then I found International Delight creamer, lol! Back to basics for me!

5'7", 176 lbs I eat around 1700. Exercise varies. I do something 6 days a week. 3 days of cardio (walk/jog/run, elliptical, bike) mixed with Pilates, yoga, water aerobics, weight training, cardio kickboxing on the other 3 days.

Laughing Cow cheese wedges are great to nix both the cheese and butter. There's several different flavors, too, so you don't get bored.

There is a Mystery Flavor peep calling my name... I'm not big on cotton candy flavored things. I love that Peeps is making all different sorts, and I will buy every single one. lol!

Has anyone tried to caramel filled Peeps? Thoughts? Are they worth making the 50 minute drive to my nearest Target for? For reference, I'm a major Peep fiend.

I do! Every single day! Even allocated a "Dessert" section in my diary. Sometimes it's a cupcake, sometimes in just a single piece of dark chocolate. I usually log my dessert first to make sure I have room. *priorities*

@Cindyk4919 It looks like you are feeling better! I'm so glad! Lovin' all the pup pics in this week's challenge post! I'm not sure what my food vice will be for Challenge #3. I'll have to think on it! I'd really love to do the 10.49 trek. *fingers crossed* for good weather on Saturday! I think I'll go for a 5K on Tuesday…

Congrats! Have fun on your cruise. You look great! :smile:

Incredible! Inspirational! Love it!

I'm having coffee cake overnight oats for lunch. Today is a weird food day for me, I suppose.

I used 40 grams of avocado and 30 grams of salsa to top my baked sweet potato + egg this morning. I also use it a lot in lieu of dressings in salad and on sandwiches/wraps instead of mayo.

CARROT CAKE KISSES They're soft in the middle. Very sweet. Distinctly carrot cakey though.

Question about the water challenge... Do I need to log my water in my diary to confirm I completed the challenge? Honestly, because essentially all I drink is water and I know I go well over the 64 oz per day, I have never logged how many oz I actually drink.

Today is water aerobics or yoga... I haven't decided which one I'll go to yet. I'll be walking to my lunch meeting today so that will add some extra miles for us. @Cindyk4919 Glad you enjoyed your kickboxing class! I love the cardio kickboxing class I go to. It's good to mix things up!

Reading this, I had no idea the names of cookies were different regionally. I had to Google a number of them, thinking my local Girl Scouts were holding out of me. Lol! My favorites are Tagalongs and Do-si-dos! Gimme all the peanut buttery goodness!

Overnight oats (flavor varies) or Cereal + milk with an English muffin and peanut butter Or Two over-easy eggs and English muffin with Laughing Cow wedge On weekends, I like to make pancakes, french toast, biscuits and gravy, or bread pudding.

Congrats on your success!

Killer job!

Awesome work! :smiley:

Thank you for posting this! I'm also 5'7" and 5 lbs away from 172 lbs. I always have a hard time seeing how small I've actually become (down from an all time high of 280 lbs) and how far I've become so your post puts things into perspective. You look fantastic!

Welcome @tinacuso! I'm finally over the flu bug that took me out for nearly all of last week. So excited to have my energy back for workouts and general getting around, lol! Challenge #1 is done. I'll save the 2nd challenge for Saturday, probably, when I have more time. All I drink is water, save for my morning coffee and…
