  • Oooh! The chocolately delight and the cinnamon ones are great! I usually eat Special K dry as a snack, though. Cereal doesn't do anything for me - I'm with Hannah - I'll take a real breakfast any day!
  • Two days down - nothing before bed last night. Ate a late dinner and nothing after that.
  • Bump! Thanks - what a great article!:flowerforyou:
  • As an answer to your official "question" does weight affect your relationships? I have to say it does. But mostly for the reasons that you mentioned - that I am not comfortable in my own skin. I see the actresses and what not that "turn his head," and I definitely don't look like them. So I feel like he is "faking it." My…
  • Busy day at work - how's everyone's day going?
  • Here's to 2009! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: I usually start out the new year very optimistic, with a lot of goals and a good outlook, and I just don't have that. I'm eating whatever I want and not exercising daily. Seems like I think about food all the time. I'm not sure what my "rut" is right now, but I need to find a…
  • Nothing after 7 pm last night - day one down!
  • I ate nothing after 7 last night - one day down!
  • I have Wii Fit and Fitness Coach. The are both AWESOME - I use one or the other daily (sometimes twice a day) because they are so fun. On Wii Fit, I think the best cardio is the boxing (you have to "open" it after playing some others), but there are some others that are good too - running in place, step aerobics, hula…
  • Yup, sign me up! No eating after 8 pm for me - bedtime is 10:30 pm. This is a biggie for me. Today is DAY 1! How's everyone doing with this? Who has the highest record? I saw a 20 something on the previous page - WOW!
  • I'm in - I need to make this a permanent habit, however. I don't eat anything worthwhile after dinner. I just love popcorn sooo much!
  • I've been "pseudo" back on track this week, and didn't lose a pound. I didn't gain either, but grrr, it's frustrating! Of course this afternoon, we had a "catered lunch" from one of the local vendors and she brings in about 15 pizzas and calls it lunch. Which, by most accounts (my husband and step dtr's included), is a…
  • I sure hope your hubby finds work! Such a rough time all around...
  • I did a trial membership at Curves (I think most of them will let you try it out for a week or something) and I was bored stiff. You do the same 10 or 12 exercises over and over again. Plus, between exercises, you bounce around on this board, which I didn't feel comfortable doing. But that's just me! I'm a little ADHD and…

  • I have a Wii and also have a significant amount of weight to lose (with the associated joint pain - mine is in my knees and ankles). I use Wii Fit or Wii Fitness Coach daily and they are low impact enough that I don't regret having done them later in the day during my very active job, but I do work up a sweat and feel…
  • I use a 32 ounce aluminum bottle that I take everywhere with me. I know that I must drink two of those each day, and try for three. I also like Crystal Light, which isn't as good as water, but it is a close second with almost no calories and no caffeine or sugar. I also like adding lemon juice to my water. And I drink it…
  • Yesterday was OK - eating not too bad (didn't have time to log my food though) but I didn't get my exercise in. I drank about 80 oz water too. Today is starting off much better - I have logged my food plan for the day including snacks and have already gotten my exercise in, as well as four glasses of water. Feeling pretty…
  • Morning, ladies! How's everyone doing on staying on track? I had a rough day yesterday, but back on track today with my eating. Stayed up too late (still on holiday time), so I'll have to work out tonight after work, which is a struggle for me.
  • Renae, I love the quote on your signature - just happened to speak to me today... I'm writing it down and putting it on the refrigerator right now! Oh, and I'll see your 20 crunches and raise you ten!!! I'm wondering about the personal trainer telling someone not to do crunches - please explain... (I guess a little part of…
  • Great goals everyone! How's everyone doing today?
  • Morning team! How's the day looking for everyone? I have my food planned out for today (within my target), and did 20 minutes aerobics and some strength as well. I've already had four glasses of water as well. Everyone have a great day today!
  • Staying on track this week. Better late than never, right ladies? What does staying on track mean to you? Do that for the remainder of this week and we will continue this challenge into next week too. For me, staying on track means staying within my calories, working out each day Monday through Friday, and drinking at…
  • Happy New Year's ladies! I am trying really hard to be back on track today. I did not get exercise in because I slept in and now the day is getting away from me, but I am going to try later on this evening to do some Wii Fit. I don't think we have a challenge going this week yet - any suggestions?
  • Happy New Year Purple Team! I am a salt addict, so I'm sure this is a great way for me to start the New Year! I would rather have chips than a cookie or cake. I rarely ADD salt to anything, but it seems that EVERYTHING has loads of sodium in it.
  • OK, got in a 30 minute walk w/ DH yesterday and 30 minutes of aerobics today. Feeling pretty good - starting off the week well.
  • The holidays are over, ladies (thank heavens!)... how did everyone fare? I gained weight, but I am determined to get it off again and have it take some buddies with it! My visits will be sparse this week as I am off work and my DH and step dtr don't allow a lot of free time! Is everyone ready for the new year?!? What's…
  • I don't know about the Biggest Loser Challenge - tell me more! I'm with you on trying to do better after the holidays. I've got to get all of this junk food out of my house! Merry Christmas to you all! Have a safe and happy holiday!
  • My local community center has a Zumba class twice a week. I haven't been yet, but have been meaning to check it out.

  • Hi everyone - just checking in for today. I had 10 glasses of water yesterday, so didn't quite get there. So far today, I've had seven, so I'm on my way. I still have some gifts to wrap, so I'm not quite ready for Christmas, but getting there. I'm not making cookies until Christmas day, so that they are ready when everyone…
  • HOORAY!!! What an accomplishment for both of you! :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:
