Oh, you guys/gals are WAY TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a GREAT GREAT challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would NEVER have thought about it like that but, it is true....on the biggest loser, I always wondered why they were so scared to weigh in....they have NO idea what their week has been like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…

Thank you all SOOOOO much for your kind words!!! Today was a much much better day!!!!!!!! NO CHIPS :) And I have decided that I need to get off of them slowly...none for this challenge week but, after that, I want to get away from them....they are running me!!! That damn vending machine!!!!!! Half of the coins in my piggy…

Super fricken LONG day at work!!!!!!!! Retail can be SOOOOOOO hard sometimes and all I wanted to do was eat when I got home....and look at me...I ate chips.....the ONE stupid fricken thing that I told myself I wasn't going to do this week and I didn't make it through the weekend......I am so disappointed in myself and…

CHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I usually plan my meals around them.....how awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will eat less calories in my main course just so I can have yummy salty, cheesy Doritos!!!! It is just awful!!!! And some days, I go for the TGIFridays potato skins which have 265 calories in the bag!!!!!! THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS!!! But,…

WHOOP WHOOP!!! THANKS Andrew and everyone for your comments about my weight loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am feeling so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it is all thanks to you guys for helping me!!! :flowerforyou: So, I did my squats last night at the gym and I did it for 5 minutes straight.....I also did strength training and 30…

You guys are fricken hilarious!!!!! Poor Andrew has ALOT of children to take care of :laugh: We can do five minutes but we sure as crap are gonna whine about it!!!! That sounds awesome!!!!!! I lost another 3 pounds this week.....thanks to you guys!!!! :glasses: I'm loving this team!!!!!

and I didn't even read the responses before I posted and I actually started the Couch to 5k tonight at the gym :happy: I will keep you guys posted!!!!!

I have been having a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although this week my girls wanted to get together alot after volleyball for some beers and such but, I did a great job of loggin and watching the things that I ate!!! I went to the gym tonight for the first time in a LONG time and it was awesome!!!! With the way I…

WHOA!!! GOODNESS!! I can NOT KEEP UP with you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am doing really good at measuring things......today I measured some noodles and realized that I USED to be making 3 to 4 servings that I thought was ONE!!! No wonder I gained all this weight!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…

So, for last weeks challenge, I put saran wrap over the little glass bowl my mom puts M&M's in...totally worked!!!!!!!!!!! :) Didn't eat sweets all week!!!! Now, I am gonna keep it on there for this week too!!!!!!!!!! It was quite funny to have my dad walk by and try to stick his hand in there and just holler....."Good…

And also....how do you "quote" things???

Wow!!!! Andrew that is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And to comment on your Type A thing.....that made me laugh so hard because as I was going through the group and seeing all that you have done I was thinking "HOW CAN HE DO ALL THIS?!?!?!" But, being type A explains alot!!! Well, my name is Bryanna....not pronounced…

Hello all....just wanted to put my first input/help/advice to the team!! Many times I cook a recipe for my family that has about 376 ingredients that are hard to put together into an actual number of calories per serving. So, here is a site where you can enter in all of the ingredients then put how many servings it cooks…

Just kidding!!! I found my name on your spreadsheet!!!!! :) THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! And by the way.....Batman!! haha! That is awesome!!!! Thanks for letting me into the group!! No sweets and much water it is!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had seen the list of team members but didn't see my name on the list!! My starting weight was 177 and now I am at 175....just wanted to make sure I was on here :)

I just happened to come accross this team by accident because someone added me as a friend...to be honest....I don't even know her :) And I believe I came accross this on purpose!! I need motivation!! I need to be apart of something!!! This will help so much!! Couple questions.... how do I find the postings from this…

there are actually plenty of options you can pick from! You don't have to be the odd man out at all!! I drink limon diet sierra mist! No caffeine and only 64 calories per shot that it is the drink. Light beer usually as 120 or 90 calories depending on the brand so, I stick to the hard liquor. You can also drink…

Thank you all!! I printed off the directions/weekly schedule so I am going to start next week. And to the person about the running shoes....I COMPLETELY agree!! I actually work at Scheels in the shoes department so, I sell running shoes :) So, I know exactly what you are talking about with good running shoes!!!! I am all…

Does anyone mind me asking what the heck is c25k?? Sounds like a good motivational thing I should start!! I need a boost!!

I am just gonna be honest....in the long run, the whole 1000 calorie thing will never work.....you can't go the rest of your life eating 1,000 calories a day. Instead of cutting back so many calories and eating fast food, why don't you give yourself the calories and NOT eat fast food...sounds like a better trade to…

I want to join one too!!!! I have been searching and waiting as well!!!

AWESOME!!!!

WITHOUT A DOUBT I WANT IN!!!!!!! I have been in such a "pity me" mood lately. I look at so many people and just feel jealous all the time!!! I watch the skinniest of skinny guys/gals eat a whole pizza at work on their lunch break and I can't stop staring at them. I keep thinking to myself......wow, that is about 800…

What is a Bodybugg? Sonds like something cool I should have!!

I would also take a look at the amount of salt in your diet......excessive amounts of salt creates excessive thirst!!

I would actually think about calling your doctor or nurses station about the amount of water you are taking in. Sometimes this can be an indication of diseases such as diabetes or even peritonitis (inflammation of the abdomen wall's lining. These are just some of the things that use "excessive thirst" as their symptom. I…

GREAT LINK HERMIT!! I just pulled out one of the most important parts of the article for those who won't read the whole thing or are too lazy to go to the link :laugh: READ THE FOLLOWING!! ~If you enter exercise into your daily plan, the site automatically adjusts your total caloric needs to stay within that normal range…

I have TOTALLY felt this way before and I actually believe the opposite from MissMessy (no offense though :smile: )....I DO NOT believe that you should limit yourself or tell yourself that you CAN'T have certain foods....I used to try that for years and sooner or later, you find that when you tell yourself you CAN'T have…

To be honest, the thing that keeps me motivated is the guilt factor. I hate the feeling that I get after indulging in some unhealthy habits or going over my calories. I love the feeling of going to bed with calories left over. I call my friend and tell her "yes, I have 300 calories left over."!! :drinker: We are so proud…

So, here is the deal, granted you should not do this type of snacking everyday...you have to remember the heart benefits of almonds. They are actually really good for you.....but, like everything...it needs to be done in moderation. So, I would just count the calories...and deal with it...I think if you do this today, it…
