Hi there. I am writing in the Halo universe - a game world based on a popular XBOX 360 game. Anyone doing NaNoWriMo right now?

Sometimes I think people sign up and post utter crap just because they have nothing better to do. I have nothing to add that hasn't been said before except for some blunt tough love...which is...Get over it. Life is not a spectator sport. This isn't a dress rehearsal. etc etc.

Hi guys! Long work day ahead of me, I will check in tonight and respond. Just wanted to tell you I started a Spartan group to make communication and check in easier for us! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/389-spartan-challenges Please join up and by the weekend I'll have stuff organized. Have a great day!

So tonight I leave for DC on business for two days. I'm taking a train down, which is great, I can sit quietly with my laptop and write. I'm doing well on my novel for the month of November...Wrote 10 new pages while on vacation. I want to focus on it a little more so that when I sit down I'm writing, not thinking or…

Week one is over! See our new chat thread for Week Two! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/387777--closed-grp-spartans-no-excuses-november-week-2

Weight Loss Format ================ Start Weight: 212.8 Challenge Goal Weight: 202.8 Week 2: 210.8 :love: LOSS/GAIN: -2 lbs :drinker:

For today's challenge, the review... Well, I'm controlling portions but eating badly (past few days). Too much saturated fat, and not enough water. So for this week, I'm going to watch my fat and sat fat, and stay under 1200 calories. I originally wanted to walk my dogs daily, but that hasn't happened due to maniac…

Good morning Spartans! I am back home and back to work. I did well on vacation, except last night when I broke down :) I had pizza (no bread, just the gooey cheese and pepperoni). I'm about to log the calories and super hydrate today to get ready for tomorrow's check in. I couldn't get my Mac to connect to the free wifi…

Hi Kay! Day four was posted with Day three on page 3, I believe. Also, I just put up a blog that will have the challenges listed.

Nonsense! You are setting a quality bar for us Spartans..thanks Char!!!

I am literally laughing over here - what a sport!! Looking forward to hearing your results! /goes to do another set

yes!!!!

Sittingduck has just volunteered to do another 100 calf raises today of INTENSE quality! WOW WHAT A SPARTAN! (lmao)

Agree with a previous poster - being hungry is not "dieting"! Your body tells you it needs something, feed it. Keep lots of fruit and protein on hand to help with low cal but filling, nutritious food.

Haha I remember when I had the same success! You look at these pants and your brain is like, "L-O-L we will NEVER fit our butts or legs in that" and when you put them on, it's like someone's bending the time-space continuum :) When I could start shopping in "regular" stores I really knew I made progress! I am so happy for…

OK I have a new thing I'm gonna do. After I drink 16 oz (the glass I have) I go over to the steps and do a set of 20 slow calf raises. I am not at failure but man are they burning by 20. So I've got 16 oz in and 40 reps today. I don't see why I can't shoot for this every day. (she says arrogantly, and will live to regret…

Hi there, I've had the band for 7 years. I lost 104 lbs (296 - 192) in the first year and a half and then my port leaked, but I didn't know it. I maintained for a year, but still had about 30 left to lose. (my doc wanted me at 170 but you know us women, I wanted 150) I didn't have the time to get the port fixed and…

Calories Burned According to the calorie counter at Health Status, a 140-lb person can expect to burn about 328 calories during one hour of Ashtanga yoga or 554 during vinyasa yoga. Your calories burned depends on several factors, such as your muscle mass and lung capacity. Read more:…

okAY okAY wow...I really created some monsters ;) Just did a set of 20, as soon as I'm done chugging my first 16oz i'll hit another 20. /salute /slurp water

OK so a little accountability here from command center. Yesterday I got in 40 calf raises. Holy, lord, I am so MEAN! lol. I had intended to do the rest of the sets but completely forgot about them. In addition to my new job, the Spartan challenge, my novel writing mission for November, my boyfriend and I are in the middle…
