Hi everyone, I don't have much time but wanted to post my stats for the day. 9/8 330 calories 5 cups of water 9/9 765 calories 8 cups of water: 9/10 397 calories 9 cups of water 9/11 0 6 cups of water: total: 1492 and 28 cups. :laugh: LOL...did anyone else read my total and think, Columbus sailed the Ocean blue? D

Absolutely normal! Get a HRM and start eating back at least half or better yet, all of your exercise calories. Great job with the running! D

So the water thing is harder for me than I thought it would be but I am doing it! 9/8 330 calories and 5 cups of water 9/9 765 calories and 8 cups of water: total: 1095 and 13 cups. Everyone is doing so great! D

Hi everyone, I just really need to say thank you to Tausha for starting this. I was feeling so discouraged and out of control. I was terrified that I was on the threshold of gaining ALL of my weight back!!! Now, I feel great!! It is amazing what one week of working out really hard can do to all of your hormones and…

Hi everyone, Congrats to our losers!! Anita, Kristen, Larua, Sandy, Annie, bcakes, soccer mum and kaeChelle!! You ladies ROCK! Double congrats to our 5000+ club members, Sandy , Walkingirl, Kittu, Nat and Annie! Amazing!! Angie, could your weight gain be from water retention? Are your muscles sore at all from all of the…

Congratulations to Suzanne and Nat (go orange!!) and I am expecting to see a few more 5000+ ers. Sandy? Posh? Maria, all that you said is so true and I am finding it myself.

IF you said, "yes", and I am a resounding YES!, then we were a…

9/1 95 9/2 1017 9/3 283 9/4 455 9/5 650 Total: 2500...leaving 2500 I am so amazed with some of you! You are so close!!! Go Team Orange!!!

You are doing so great!! I am really trying! But I have a hard time figuring calories in that are "normal", so I am just sticking with the things that are extra. Maria, your numbers are also amazing!!! I will get a work out in tomorrow and if this rain stops maybe tomorrow I can talk the family in to doing something…

You are doing great! I am so impressed! D

TJ...what an amazing story! I looked at your pics and you really look fantastic. Your little boy is adorable! Best of luck here! D

Went to a bunch of wineries today with my husband. So, the most I can really figure is about 280. 9/1 95 9/2 1017 9/3 283 Total: 1395...leaving 3605....I need to get movin'!!! Go team orange! D

Posted a couple of hours ago, but I don't see it now!! UGH! Oh well, Yesterday I did 95 cal of strength training and today I have been cooking ALL day! 1017. Tomorrow hubby and I are doing some wine tours. Hoping to keep the calories low! You are all doing so great! Happy to be on Team Orange!! Donna

Not to sound stupid....but will you be eating back those 5000 calories? D

My thanks to Sandy for the invite to join. Looking forward to giving and getting support. I just learned that we are going on a cross country vacation from NY to CA and then back over the Christmas holidays. With so much time spent in the car driving and I am fearful of what can happen. I am hoping to be in the best shape…

See your MD. My sister had a similar injury. For her, it was that she simply did not warm up enough. It is exactly what you are describing. By the next morning she had visible bruising from the calf muscle seizing. What the doctor told her is that she tore some of the muscle. Follow the RICE program and call you doctor to…

I did the same thing...I just couldn't seem to break past a certain point and psychologically it was taking a toll. Plus, I was starting to feel too skinny in some places, so I changed my goal from 115 to 122 (the weight I was on my wedding day 26 years ago) and focused on strength training. I am closing in on a year and I…

It was just this morning that i was thinking how crazy easy it is to gain the weight and how massively hard it is to lose it! How easy it is to eat an extra 500-1000 calories in a day...but how hard it is to cut even 500 calories in a day! I have no great wisdom for you. I understand! I also must believe that there is…

Good for you Tracy!!! YOu really can succeed with this program. Set realistic expectations and you will do great! Welcome! D

I think it is important to sometimes take a planned break. If you know you are obsessing about a certain food, sometimes it is better to plan for it by limiting calories during the day, exercise a little bit extra and just do it. For me, every once in awhile I just want to eat spinach artichoke dip. I just LOVE it!! So it…

I am in! I really struggle with this!

I have tried several brands and the bottom line is that no one does it like Bare Escentuals!!

I agree that this is a HUGE victory!!! Isn't our goal to be healthy? Great job!

too much disney channel.

Great website! D

I was having such a hard time figuring out how I could keep this post menopausal body from gaining back the weight and IF has proven to be invaluable to me.

Hang in there. The body is not a computer it is a complex machine. It isn't always about numbers in and numbers out. As others have said there are many factors and reaching your goal is not simply measured by the scales. Water, body composition (fat/muscle ratio), are all factors. Focus on doing the right things...eating…

I love using the co-op or our homeschool group activities. It is a wonderful way to enhance what you are already doing. As they get older the co-ops are a great way to give your kids the "extra" in areas you may be weak in. D Homeschooler for over 20 years!

I have never used it but a friend of mine whose kids are biracial (black and white) use it a love it!
