I'm putting off folding laundry putting away all the Halloween stuff, and working out =(

I'm in! I so need this right now to get myself motivated again. I'll get the workout done this afternoon, and post my info tomorrow morning.

I think its potassium you need. I used to get the leg cramps a lot when I was pregnant and started eating bananas which helped. I couldn't go a day without a banana. But bananas are pretty high sugar when you're trying to lose weight so look into different foods high in potassium.

I'm 5'9 - 37 years old - and my original goal was 160. I'd always hovered around 180 the last 15 years - was 205 after my kids who are now 8 and 6. Right now I'm 156 super happy and sexy and am trying for more. I think I Iook great in clothes, but I still have belly and back fat I'd like to see if I can get it off. I can…

You can't smoke in any public building in British Columbia. Bars included. It's fabulous for non smokers. And it's the norm here now for the past 8-10? years. No one questions it, and my kids can't imagine it being different.

It an anitoxident - cleans your body of free radicals and such stuff! It's also a metabolism booster. Green tea mostly, but white and black can do the same I think. I drink green tea all the time too. I have several different flavors of it. I really think it's helped me with my weight loss - along with many other healthy…

I had a breast reduction 5 years ago - best thing I ever did. I am 5' 9" I was an E before and a D after. I was 174 before the surgery and 172 afterwards =) I wasn't at my ideal weight then, but now I am nearing it - I'm at 157 today. The surgeon made my breast both same size - they were slightly lopsided before. But just…

You may be growing a bunion! I had the same problem about 4 years ago. My doctor recommended orthotics which I got and they help. I also got yoga sandals. They separate each toe and that's what has stopped the pain in my toe. You're supposed to wear them 2 hours a day to prevent the bunions. I couldn't wear them longer…

158- What will be our official weigh in days?

that last post didn't show the spaces i put between them it was supposed to look like columns. sorry about all typos - i am one handed right now due to an injury to my left hand.

So i hit a wrong button this is what meant: I was thinking the same thing - anyone else out there? so my husband did my measurements both times and this is what we got - SW 162 today - 158.5 neck 14 neck 14 13.5 (didn't think i had any to lose there) bust 36 1/2 bust 36 1/2 37.5 (hahaha maby different bra?) hips 38 hips 40…

I will! I keep starting and not finishing - this should motivate me to keep going!

Weigh in today - 158.7 - a little gain I think, but I had woken up in the night starving and I mindlessly ate a banana. Among other reasons - I'm okay with it though because I've spent this wee impressing myself with my muscles. I can see muscles in my thighs and am so impressed. I've done a few of my older workout videos…

Hi, I'll weigh in tomorrow, I've done 640 crunches up to yesterday. Today and tomorrow I'll get it up to 1000!

You could increase your calories with high fat healthy foods like almonds, olive oil and avocado. Search other posts as well because I've seen this question before and there were many other ideas given.

Dorothy you could check out the website about the recipe book THE SNEAKY CHEF. It's about sneaking veggies into other foods so you family doesn't know. You do need the nutrients that veggies provide. The least cooked the better, but these ideas might be a good start. Vegetable are more filling too. My Knowledge challenge…

You know I'm in it and really appreciate what you're doing =)

I've seen an extra challenge issued that for every team member that personally does 1000 crunches by Sunday night, we get an extra 10 points. I'm up for that challenge! I only did 100 yesterday so the next 5 days I'll do 180. Come on team lets get some extra points! And stronger at the same time!

Maybe check with your doctor first. My doc recommends multivitamin, calcium/magnesium plus a D. Do some research to find out how much you need. I take a multivitamin two a day (more expensive with no weird stuff that doesn't need to be there) and better to spread your vitamins over the day. I take a cal/mag and a D 3 times…

Green tea, B100 pill, spicy like red pepper flakes. Lots of water. That seems to be working for me! I also take Salmon oil pill, and calcium/magnesium and D. Those are more for a mood boost but they all work hand in hand I think.

I must have missed you that day =) Day 1 50 squat kicks were done! I'd done nine miles Mon to Thurs. Today I had planned on doing more miles my way, but I worked. I helped out a restaurant that is needing servers. I'll be doing this job only 2 days a week, I'm wondering if speed walking for 7 hours could count into the…

Woo hoo! a loss for me! 158.3 this morning. I was a 157 once a couple of months ago. My original goal was 160 , modified to 155, and now I'm pretty sure I can get to 150. I still have a lot of belly fat I'm not happy with. I remember I got to 150 my second year of university. I was 19, I had started smoking that summer.…

Interval training - hard stuff! I've never really worked out without a video and my newer videos are all about interval training. Last Saturday I did Biggest loser last chance workout. I challenged myself to do it completely and I did it. When I first got it last winter I think I gave up 3/4 of the way in - too hard. But…

Here's my recipe: I invented this recipe after trying to eat more Power Foods from Jillian Michaels and I love spagetti and sauce. Power Food Spagetti sauce: 1tbsp Olive oil heated - add garlic, onion to saute. Add many other veggies chopped up. Last night I used carrots, zuchinni, and yellow pepper. Add a can of diced…

I've been commenting on my daily completed excersizes how many miles and excersizes I've been doing I hope that's okay. I had thought weigh in day was Sunday - sorry for the late weigh in - I'll have it in for Saturday this week =) I invented this recipe after trying to eat more Power Foods from Jillian Michaels and I love…

Bugels too! We can't get them in Canada anymore. Xmas Nuts and Bolts will never be the same.

I'm Canadian, and I remember serving in a restaurant and quite often people from the States would ask if our iced tea was sweetened or not. I'd never heard of unsweetened iced tea before, and they thought our sweetened iced tea was gross. I now only ever drink homemade unsweetened iced tea because I can't stand the sugar…

A mile is 1.6 Km. So 5 miles is 8 km. I used an online converter. I think the running tally would be a good way to keep track. Just everyone challenge themselves to do more than they usually have done. I'm not a regular excersizer, I have a 3 mile walk that I do once or twice a month, so I'll step it up and do it 2 or…
