Don't forget the spreadsheet - http://bit.ly/h2DHFP I've updated the formula so it reflects the weight loss up to week 4. :)

rock*me*hard place Not gonna go into it, just at a job crossroads and don't know what to do.

Oh you betcha I'll do some swatchin'! I'll look into Wacoal bras, thanks! I'm thinking of going to Ross or Marshalls to scour their racks, who knows what I might find there. I found some bras on Bravissimo that I REALLY want to order, but since it is a UK company I can't try them on so I'd just be taking a shot in the dark…

Thank you April and Bru for keeping this place running! You two are fantastic beyond words. My something new this week - NEW BRA SIZE! I've been a size 38G for the last year or so. Recently I'd noticed that I didn't feel confident in my bras any more, and that I was kinda swimming in them. I went to get sized and turns out…

I just realized something...at the end of Dec/beginning of Jan, I updated my goals (per MFP's suggestion) and my cals were reduced 200/day. In the last month I've lost inches, but the scale has not moved. I know I could have gained muscle since I'm keeping up on my exercise, but, could the fact that I lowered my calories…

I've totally heard about that! Disneyland does a half marathon too, and a family 5K, in September. I've heard it is a fun event, but it is SO pricey. The entry for the half is $125! The 5K is $50. Yipes. Maybe I should start a fund for it...I've got 216 days!

Just discovered there are Leslie Sansone videos on Exercise TV! Sahweeeeeet!!

April! Yay! Glad you're here and feeling better. :) I think you sent your cold over to my house, though. Both hubby and I are down with a cold. So thanks! :P

Oh, and don't forget to update yourself on the spreadsheet! http://bit.ly/h2DHFP I've updated the formula so it will show your loss up to Week 3.

Week 4?! How are we already so far into this challenge! I'm excited...just signed up for my first 5K! It is at Knott's Berry Farm (America's 1st theme park!) and benefits the Speech and Language Development Center. It sounds like a really fun race - it winds through the park, past all of the coasters and attractions, and…

My NSV was shopping and buying size 11 jeans, and waist 30 jeans. The last time I bought size 11 was high school. The smallest I ever bought in high school was a 9, so I'm really effing stoked!

Thought I'd share this article I just read on SELF magazine's website: http://www.self.com/fooddiet/2011/02/lose-weight-with-no-deprivation?currentPage=1 While I wish the writer would have realized that she was in need of making a lifestyle change, not just picking up a diet, I still like the overall idea/message. It is a…

Well I'm annoyed. This past week I was doing a good amount of dance cardio, as well as a 1.5 mile hike and walking around a local beach for a few hours. I'll admit that i went over my calories a couple days this week by about 200 cals (I'm set to 1470). I hop on the scale and it is being way wonky. First it read 168.4.…

DUH! Why didn't I think to go to youtube to find exercise videos? *facepalm* Happy Week 3, everyone! Here's the link to the H20 Weigh-In log....http://bit.ly/h2DHFP Please add and update yourself if you'd like to be a part of it. I'll update the formula at the end of the week/thread to show the loss reflected in Week 3.

Mama April! You're going to have such a great year. I just feel it. Bru pointed it out to me. I updated the formula. My plan was to update it at the end of every week/thread. But if we want a different system I can change when I update the formula, y'all just let me know. :) I've updated it for this week so your current…

LOL you're welcome! I'm a total polishphile. I've got a ginormous collection and I follow three polish blogs daily. :blushing: the CK one I got a couple years ago at a Sephora, and it doesn't look like it is avail anymore there. But definitely check around the etailers out there. For the Sally Hansen color I recommend…

Sereny, can't wait to hear about your new nail design. I used the June Bride color put on last time and LOVED it. KATTUNGEN!! YAY CONGRATULATIONS OMG WEDDDDDDDINGGGGGGG! Sorry for all the yelling but I'm so excited for you! You must check out www.theknot.com for wedding ideas. I ended up finding my dress thanks to their…

How was everyone's day today? Triumphs? Happies?

I 'aint no Opishlfidsfadskjasldkf. Sagittarius=me. I had a mild WTF moment until it was pointed out to me that this new chart doesn't apply to me. Maybe I should just stick to the Chinese Zodiac. Wood Rat, btw.

roboray, well done walking the doggies longer and still being on time to work! Good luck with the smoking.

Thanks! And I think you're right - I should change up my calisthenics goals. I'm going to keep the train moving with the cardio while the bug has bitten me, but I'm going to do the calisthenics once a week, at least. I'm not going to worry about reaching my 1,000 of each move goal I had set out for myself, I'm just going…

I'm totally going to get that top coat. Thank you! Gunmetal? Oh yeah! This is one of my favorites: http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/catalog/shop_product_detail.jsp?skuId=694002&productId=694002&WT.mc_id=Shopping_Feed_Products_Google_Free_Listing It is a little bluish, but a very nice color (and a GREAT price!). This is also a…

How about a clothing goal? Maybe buy yourself a pair of pants one or two sizes smaller than what you currently wear. Then, use those pants as your measuring stick to see how you're progressing.

Oh that makes the situation a little stickier than I thought. Just bring it up to your manager - let him know you're a little concerned and wanted to get it on record. You're hubby's probably right. Who knows, maybe this guy has done it to other ladies at your work before and it is a sexual harassment case.

I totally know what you're going through. My hubby and I went through quite a bit of people maliciously trying to break us up when we were still dating. It is so annoying, but you just have to realize that they're jealous, crazy, and aren't worth your worry. Just laugh and move on.

And on another positive note, you're one hot chickadee! That girl is JEALOUS of you! She's stupid to think she could break you up, and apparently has a lot more issues than she's letting on.

And now that I've adequately taken over this thread (LOL), my turn to update. Weighed in at 173.8 this morning, which puts me at 1.6 of 7 pounds for the challenge. I need to figure out my homemade workout routine. I've been doing Billy Blanks Jr. on Exercise TV, but I've really been slacking on my calisthenics challenge I…

Bru, WTG on the 3+lb loss! That's beyond great. I hope your soup turns out splendid. The marsala and spinach salad sound super yummy too.

Congratulations on being back to your wedding weight! Just for the heck of it you should try your dress back on. A walk around the zoo sounds absolutely wonderful.

That recipe of yours sounds absolutely delicious! And easy! I'm so going to have to make it. And WTG with the loss! Round it up, that's a pound. :D And WTG on kicking soda for another week!
