So ...my body collapsed on me Wednesday and I didn't exercise yesterday. BUT I decided that I'm going to add 60 minutes per mon-frid week of walking time since I am more than positive I walk more than 20 minutes a day to classes. So I'm underestimating a bit but I don't want to count all of my walking. So... Friday: 40…

Hello everyone! First off, welcome to all the new members!! It's so great to have you all and I'm glad it's helping you guys! Feel free to tell us a little about yourself if you wish! Sharon and I did little blurbs earlier in the posts!. A little late this morning... I went out to celebrate my THON interview being done…

Welcome chriscuts! Good to have you! Good morning everyone!! I discovered I'm out of breakfast food so I'm short on time today so I can go to the commons for breakfast. Goals from yesterday: 1. Make it to the gym! -- Did this. I always feel so good afterwards. 2. Stay low on sodium-- tried to do this and did better than…

Good morning everyone! I made it on before noon! Yay! Yesterday's goals: Gym... check Laundry and studying ... check CVS... check Vitamin C... check Bed early... check (was going to go to bed early before my neighbors distracted me... but I did excuse myself at 11) AND.. I GOT A THON INTERVIEW!!!! YAY!!!!! Today's Goals...…

I live in a college town where the restaurants that people "drunk eat" at stay open all night. And they are all horrible for you. But there is one place called R U Hungry? And they make "fat" sandwiches which will have anything and everything on them. cheesesteak, mozarella sticks, french fries, etc. etc. I only ever ate…

Hello everyone! Just checking in for today! I did 40 minutes on the elliptical and 20 min on the bike for a total of 60 min. Might try to walk later depending on how much schoolwork I decide to get done. So... 60/360 min completed so far.

Hey everyone! I know... it's super late ... I made it to class just in time... Thank God because that teacher really hates it when people are late. Leelawatson-- I do not know how. I can look into it later today though and if anyone else does shoot me a message and let me know! Thanks everyone! I think most of it was water…

I'm in!!

Good afternoon! Man I fell off the horse this weekend... not so much with eating and water and all that good stuff but I didn't make it to the gym yesterday and I am not feeling well enough to go today. Syllabus week is over so... it'll be back to reality/seriousness tomorrow. This was probably one of my favorite Penn…

crazybxrmom-- Welcome! We are so happy to have you! Sharon-- Thank you! I'm glad you checked it out. It's a philanthropy very near and dear to my heart... since I get to see and play with the kids once a year and they are always so happy to be there. sim247-- Of course that's ok! I just have to do it daily because if I…

Good afternoon everyone! A little late today but I made it. I didn't quite meet all my goals yesterday. My THON app didn't get done (but it's handed in now so it's ok)... I didn't get the time to exercise... but I did take the long way to class so helpfully that helped a little bit. It was a really busy day. Sharon! That's…

Good morning everyone!! Leela- thanks! I'll definitely let you know when I do! Sharon-- I hope you feel better! Take it easy today! We all need a break now and then. Goals from yesterday-- I didn't do too badly. I made it to the gym and I drank all my water. I worked on my THON application. I didn't finish it though. It's…

I actually have a pretty long playlist because sometimes when I'm working out songs just annoy me so I have to switch it. All Over You- The Spill Canvas (I've listened to this one 5 times during a workout-- excellent) Airplanes- B.o.B Down- Jay Sean Sweet Child O' Mine- Guns n' Roses Devotion and Desire- Bayside According…

Hi to everyone new to the thread!! Thanks for joining and thank you Leela for spreading the word! One thing I discovered this week for water which helps me with some of my fruit intake too-- I bought some 100% White Peach Grape Juice and it's so sugary ... I find that if I mix it with water... started out with less water…

O and I have to add one more. I had a bit of a problem with binging last night. (woops) I was filling out my app and eating goldfish... and ate way too many so ... 4. No mindless munching.

Congrats to both of you for meeting your goals. And I think this was a great idea because I"m the same way! Last night I got home from class and really wanted to just ride the elevator up... but I didn't! Because then I'd have to tell you guys that I didn't reach my goals. So goals from yesterday: 1. I bought my books!…

Good morning everyone!! Thanks for joining me! Sharonsjetset-- I definitely agree. That's 100% why I made this group. Life is a pain in the butt sometimes when you are trying to lose weight. Leelawatson-- Good luck! The car is one of my least favorite places to clean. Reviewing our goals in the morning is a great idea!…

About calories burned... EAT THEM! There are so many posts on this board about that. You don't necessarily have to do it everyday and if you aren't hungry that's ok if you don't eat but if you consistently do not get the minimum calories your body needs your body will hold onto everything you eat... this is starvation…

I have one! The trick to the Wii fit is that if you are really trying to lose it should not be the only thing you do but it is a great tool especially for rainy days! I just started back up seriously again and have been doing it everyday since it's what I've had time to do. I've been doing an hour of it and boy, my arms…

BrendaLee, I love soaps too! At least I used to. I don't watch them nearly as much as I did before college mainly because all of my favorite couples have pretty much broken up now. I watch Y&R, One Life to Live and General Hospital when I have time to catch up!

Greek, Bones, House, Two and a Half Men, Everybody Loves Raymond And my favorite show of all time... GILMORE GIRLS! I almost have every season. :)

That's awesome! Congratulations!! I'm going to start training next week. I am running the THON 5k for my senior year at Penn State. That is my goal of the year.

Hi everyone! I know I'm super late but can I join you guys? I'm recently getting back on the wagon. (Have fell off one too many times) I think this challenge will be good because you guys focus on more than just losing the weight and are fun! Not just weight loss talk all the time. I'll want to sign in and talk to you. So…

One of my oldest friends is currently battling anorexia. I have listened to her talk time and time again about how much of a mind game it is and how she knows what she is doing is unhealthy but then there are times when she looks in the mirror and can't stand what she sees. She is currently doing outpatient work at the…

1200 calories is a little less than what you normally burn in a day. If you don't eat your exercise calories, or at least a good amount of them most of the time your body will go into starvation mode and hord what you eat. However, eating 900 calories at one meal isn't good either. It's all about planning. If you know you…

I'm back! I know it's been almost a month I think. Unfortunately, finals got me off any type of schedule and then I never got back on one. Hopefully, I can still with this through the summer... although sometimes work will keep me off this thread I should still have time to log I hope. Mary, I'm sorry about your class,…

When I don't have time to eat breakfast I grab a Naked Juice. It's just filling enough to get through my morning, especially when I eat lunch early. If you don't eat anything, your metabolism isn't jump started and that is key to losing weight. When I stopped drinking empty calories and started eating breakfast I started…
