i have been the Aqua Fiend!! Yeah baby!! 5lbs down this week!!! So proud of myself. I overcame a funeral, ladies night out, bridal shower, and night out at the movies with the kids! AhMazing! Knowing I was weighing in for the challenge really helped keep my mind where it should be, so thanks, ladies!! Great week everyone!…

My goals for today and tomorrow are to get through a funeral and bridal shower without munching. I have been so good sticking to my healthy eating plan. can't wait to weigh in on Sunday-that will keep me going today and tomorrow. I will tell myself that once i am out of losing mode, and into maintenance, I'll be able to…

Looking forward to succeeding with everyone :) Calorie burn goal till Sunday will be 900 calories (300 per day). If I meet that-I'm getting my heeerrr did! I need…

This is awesome. When to eat it? 1 hour before workout?

DONE!!!!!!!

WTG!!! Keep up the good work!!!

I have always done the same thing...until recently....it's getting better. I eat for happy and sad so I'm stuck :) lol. Someone here on MFP said "eating to cope with stress is like taking a nap to get your house clean". It hit home with me for some reason. Now, I think of how dirty my house would be if I napped and…

Yaya!!!!!!! So happy for you! Hope you win the ARC!

:flowerforyou: wow!!! great rant! there are so many people that are unhappy with themselves so they try to bring everyone down with them. keep up the great work. dont fight her on it. just do your thing and maybe one day she'll actually own up to her insecurities and join you. until then, we are all here for you! remember…

help! will someone please send me the wiegh in spreadsheet link and a new brain so i can just do it each week without asking for help. thank you!! embarrassed :blushing:

okay S2S buddies! We are doing this!! Down only another .5 lb but at least I broke the plataeu. Eating more and exercising a bit less got me over the hump. Now I'm kicking the exercise back into gear and keeping the calories higher. Thanks to all of you for your advice and support!! Seeing you succeed really motivates me!…

great losses everyone! i'm still at my plateau but hoping that less activity this week and watching my sodium will show a change on Monday when I weigh in. Hang in there if you gained/didn't lose. Our bodies are so hard to manage. Stay the course and we will see the results over the long run!:happy:

For those of us only having small losses but really killing it and doing things right, check out this article. It really helped me :). (Thanks to another MFPer who posted it). If we stay the course and eat clean and workout, we'll get there! Love you Snowflakes! Train Hard, Eat Smart!…

this is so awesome, thanks!!:heart:

:laugh: Well said! So many of us feel the same. I have upped my calories and backed off the intense workouts a bit and am seeing/feeling more results. I :heart: the Snowflakes, too. Def up for the next challenge once we suceed in this one. Then, after that, we can all hit maintanence together and do a manintanence…

I didn't lose AGAIN! :grumble: But, fortunately I fit into some jeans that I hadn't been able to before. :blushing: (A side note:they may have been too tight for church, but I HAD to wear them to celebrate the victory, lol). I know it's just that my body is gaining muscle, etc as I adjust to doing the CrossFit traning.…

LOVE these!!! Thanks for posting! I'm gonna put them in my exercise journal to reflect on when I need support :happy:

1. Sleep in your workout clothes.2. MOVE YOUR ALARM CLOCK. Okay, okay..so I live in FL and my idea of cold is 60 degrees. But, it's all relative, lol. I wear wool when it goes below 60. Anyway-I have recently become successful getting up for 5:30am spin class. I would like to thank whomever here in MFP that gave me this…

This is nice, thanks :) My daily goal: get to yoga class this afternoon despite the kid frenzy when I get home from work, lol.

I agree with the egg white omlette and the sweet herbal tea. i use berry zinger tea which has no caffeine and is so sweet i kept checking to make sure it doens't have sugar, lol. also, try putting Splenda on things to help crave your sweet tooth. tip that has helped me: (not for night time) try the Chobani or Fage greek…

lol! we jsut talked about this yesterday. we do it witout sneakers. we dont dance in sneakers so we figure it's okay. enjoy!! a bailarrrr...

I didn't invest in the wii fit or active, but do love the Zumba fitness for the wii. It's just a regular game-no extras to buy :). Also, try Craigslist in your area if you are looking to but used. I get a lot of things on craigslist with success. Just be careful! Enjoy and way to go getting the exercise in instead of just…

:laugh: I am grateful for all the participants and am excited to be motivated by all of OUR success. I also like the friendly competition and accountability! :)
