As I think about it, i definitely think that the intensity of my workouts has increased... so, that might be a contributing factor. Have gotten more fit, so am able to do more and with more intensity!

I have been gotten - good one! :) nice to start the day with a laugh

I rarely eat with my daughter, because she eats right before we head off to the gym. However, when we sit together at a meal, I don't cook something different for her. Since I prepare her food before mine, I will usually make her something that I know she'll eat - unless we are eating leftovers that day. However, if she…

Congrats - thats' amazing!

I forgot about this song...it's awesome, I'm going to have to get that one for my list! thanks for all the great suggestions!

Just saw this article on Boston.com as companies react to the postings, to avoid having their soda labeled as cancer-causing. Interesting to see what kind of pressure actually works! http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/health/articles/2012/03/08/coke_pepsi_make_changes_to_avoid_cancer_warning/?p1=Upbox_links

bump!

I count sparkling water since I get tired of drinking still water and need the variety. I would say you just wouldn't count it if there is anything at all added to the water like caffeine or sweeteners (artificial or otherwise).

It would not even take more more than 1 minute to take care of 400 cals :) But therein lies the monster which is weight loss!

Maybe this visual will help: http://www.onemorebite-weightloss.com/muscle-to-fat.html There is a huge visual difference between 5lbs of fat vs 5lbs of muscle, the density is that much different and they take up ad different amount of space.

NSV - non scale victory

Wtg!! You look (and must feel) great!

I hit my goal of reaching 210 by the end of this first challenge... yeah!

Is this all in one gym session?

Another weekend of poor water intake. Perhaps my new goal should be getting in my water over the weekend - that's when I really struggle. Well, Monday is here, so the better eating and the water intake should be back in line.

OMG.... too funny! I will go drink my water now

I'm with Topsking on that too - I'd rather pay to play and not worry so much about what I eat when I'm feeling that way. Like you said, the deprivation can lead to overindulgence. Everything in moderation - including moderation! You KNOW you'll be burning off calories today and then again tomorrow - plus, mac n cheese has…

Between my water and a half a raw cucumber, I'm pretty full myself!

Got mine in today :) - thank goodness for veggie chili

I love Diet Coke myself, but I do get nervous about ingesting too much artificial sweetener, whether it be aspartame or whatever. I try to limit myself to one per day, and I don't keep it in my home so that I'm not tempted to over do it. I also find that if its too avaialble, I won't drink as much water as I should. So, in…

Not great over the weekend...some in, but not lots. Definitely not 5 each day! Starting off better today with 2 servings of melon, and with a vegetarian chili for dinner shouldl really round out my vegatble intake.

Terrific! What a great feeling - you have transformed yourself!

Weekends not usually a good veggie time for me - on Saturday got melon, sauerkraut and potatoes in (via fries!)... could be worse...could be better! Starting Sunday better - have already gotten some melon in...

If they are similar to Yam noodles (or shirataki noodles) then it can be true!

I started running/jogging after I had worked out to strengthen my muscles for about 3 months before I started running. I was probably 220 when I started doing some running, more than 5 min at a time. I have tried running before and it was somewhat painful - I felt that my strength training leading up to it this time helped…

WHere did everyone go? Got another 80 oz in today...maybe I'll hit 100 tomorrow...

Ooh - black bean chicken chili sounds yummy - got a good recipe to share?

I actually planned today's food last night and put it into MFP to see where i would end up, since its a rest day for me. A few veggies in my egg muffin and "fruit" in my yogurt for breakfast. Have salad, split pea soup and a pear for lunch. Dinner will have cole slaw, and I will probably cut up a melon for…

Got 80 oz in today, and actually ate dinner before 8pm again!

I have 2 new recipes I tried this week from Eating well that have a good amount of vegetables and are tasty and filling too! Here's the first: Black Bean & Salmon Tostadas http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/black_bean_salmon_tostadas.html The next: Zucchini Rice Casserole…
