*taken from moderator post: "Our first challenge runs from January 1st – January 13th" so I'd say the 1st :) *I tend to log them in my exercise diary as "Calisthenics (pushups, sit-ups), vigorous effort" and then say how long you did it for... I'm thinking it would be a good idea to have a post going in our own group for…

Absolutely awesome!!! *standing ovation* :) Seriously well done! That's a lot of HARD work and determination right there! You look beautiful dahlin :)

Can't wait to start! :) Got a great team full of super motivated people :) Thanks for creating this and getting the ball rolling <3

YAY!!! That's freakin awesome!! *high5*

oh my heavens you poor thing... I *raises hand* also am married to a snorer! :grumble: Great news is... and yes I know that each person is different... his snoring has almost VANISHED from him losing weight! He was at a high of 380 2 years ago and is down 278 today! His goal is 220... baby steps ;) but I tell ya what...…

I'm one of those people.... "why wait till Jan"?!?!? that makes no sense! Start now! This is your life not a dress rehersal! :) Ok.. now that I've got that out of my system hehe I do know the feeling of "dropping off the band wagon"... and I do know the feeling of taking it back and pushing for more! It all starts with you…

I look for clothing that is made to wick away sweat and always wear some sort of compression pants/capris. Also have different sneaks depending on the workout I'm doing :) I deff want stuff to match... and look presentable of course... but function and support is much more important to me.

We always do a potluck for Christmas... no turkey, ham etc cause we just had it a month ago fro Thanksgiving :) Last year we did lasagna... my mom made a full fat "bad for you" kind and I brought my "healthy" option! Both were hits! This year she's doing a horrificly yummy deep fried chimi changa thingies... and I'm…

*giggle*

Absolutely awesome!! So incredibly happy for you!! Welcome to onederland my friend, I just got here last week :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Great info! Now comes another question... how long before the workout do you have the meal? I'm always nervous about eating too close to my gym time ...

Awww! Thnx Holly! Freakin love this girl! She motivates me more then I can explain in words :) <3

So true!! I've FREAKIN LOVE LOVE LOVE KICKBOXING and have been doing classes for months now... I know the feeling you mention about looking in the mirror... that is a real hurdle that we all have to deal with at one point or another. I'm finally at the point when I look at myself that I am damn PROUD of what I am doing. I…

Wow... great post Eric! Thanks for sharing!

I eat most of mine back... usually end up with a deficit of about 500 calories for the day. This is of course built on my own profile though... so everyones is gonna be different. I find the days I put in a hard exercise I'm MORE hungry... the body needs fuel to put out energy to keep up in my circuit training classes. :)

No problem! :) Happy to help! I just sent a message to each user whom I didn't see an intro here from. Some have already read it so hope to see some new faces soon! Very excited for this challenge and getting to know everyone :)

Completely agree to a group page! Deff think it's needed, each week challenge should be a different post I imagine. I don't really have the time to focus on being a captain, but I would be more then willing to help as a co-captain. Have any of you guys reached out to the other team members that haven't posted here yet? I'm…

Great info! Thanks!

My two favorites... Garlic and Cinnamon... not TOGETHER though! LOL :) I know I've read how Cinnamon is supposed to somehow help with weight loss... not sure about Garlic though

wowowoowowow! Great job!!! You look absolutely amazing!! Very inspirational!

I personally like our ticker as is, but I'm up for change if other's do not agree. I also don't mind just being called the "Tangerine" team... as I'm used to that from watching the biggest loser... teams by color name etc.. I did a quick google search for some funny names... and here are some that stuck out at me :)…

LOVE the ticker!! Grabbing it now!! :)

Yay! Also VERY excited to see we have a team now! :) Really looking forward to the motivation from everyone :) As well as sharing it! My imagination is flawed... when it comes to usernames haha... so yeah, my username is my real name :) Nice to meet ya! I'm 34, happily married for 10 yrs now with a 10 yr old son. I work…

You are deffinetly not a weirdo LOL... I do the same thing

Round... literally LOL... a big ol greasy pepperoni pizza XD

Agreed! And this is why I absolutely freakin ADORE this community!!! Thank you so much for sharing! I've lost 150lbs in 1 yr and 9 months and also have some issues w/excess skin... your honesty and openess is a breath of fresh air! its always been that thing that you think about but tuck away for your own thoughts... it's…

Yum-o!

awesome job!!! I can't wait until my bat wings go away ;) hehe

I have like 3 breakfast meals that I tend to go inbetween just so I won't get bored eating the same thing... my diary is shared but I'll give you some ideas here :) 1) oatmeal *I buy the quaker weight box of single serve packets... I change up the flavor each time I buy a box *I add a cut up apple and a small amount of…

ack! you guys are scaring me! rofl seriously though... I'm sitting at my lowest yet at 198.6 *YEAHAWW for hitting onderland the other day*... but I'm not at goal yet... I've seen no gains for sure... like for months but I knew deep down it was a change in my eating habits that really caused those. I haven't yet experienced…
