How far in advance of your race was the Groupon released? That is a phenomenal price!

Hubby and I are doing the SoCal one this April-we are freakishly excited!

SERIOUSLY!! They are driving me nuts. I was trying to support a mom and pop shop (that also happens to have really good pricing) but forget it. The salesgal is biitchy and looks like a muppet (ugly purple hair!). I'll probably have swatches done tonite, just sans shatter. Gotta hit up ULTA or something. Congrats on your…

OK! Here's the updated Team H20 website: http://teamh20.webs.com Enjoy!

Here's the link to the new spreadsheet! http://bit.ly/gc6Fqt Please add yourself and updated it every week with your new weight. Be sure to click SAVE when you're done editing the document.

Yay new challenge! I'll get the new spreadsheet going, as well as update the website, tomorrow. Had one heck of a fun but long day so I'm gonna crash out. Welcome to the new members! I love our group!

You got 15 people?! Dude I'm jealous! My husband and I are trying to round up all of our friends to do it and most of them are like "nah, I don't like to get dirty". :indifferent: I'm so excited that you're doing it, and that you're getting all costumed!

It sounds like you picked a great polish! I don't own any Rimmel colors. But I DO own a Konad set! SO much fun!

April that purse is ADORABLE! It is such a cute color. Nice pampering!!

*snicker* If I had a treadmill, though, I would have to admit that I'd probably do this. I'm always on my laptop, so why not? This also reminds me of those folks who sit on an exercise ball instead of a chair when at their work desk. Here's an article that tells of the benefits of that practice...…

I've been at a plateau for the last month, which happened to coincide to when I lowered my daily calories (MFP told me to, so I did). I bumped my calories up this past Monday to what I originally was eating, and I've ALREADY seen a loss. Our bodies seem to have a magic calorie number and as long as we hit that number,…

Yay! We're Warrior Dash twins! Are you going to wear any kind of costume? I'm thinking of wearing a leopard print hot pink tutu and fishnet thigh high stockings. :laugh: Gonna get nutty!

I re-weighed today and I'm at 173.4. Better!

:flowerforyou: I hope you two have a wonderful holiday together.

A Pink Polar HRM would make me all atwitter. Or a fancy lacy bra. Or a night in a hotel. But really, just a nice sushi dinner would make me grin. Oohh, or seafood. Valentine's Day is our dating anniversary, so here's to 9 years!

Holy guacamole, you're looking great! All of your hard work has definitely paid off. You and your sis have great taste in purses, BTW! :D

roboray, thanks, good luck to you too! I'm nervous as well but we're going to rock our races! And because I can't get enough torture, hubby and I are going to do the Warrior Dash the next weekend after the 5K. If you don't know what it is, google it, it looks ridiculously fun and ruckus!

psst....the website is http://www.skinnytaste.com ;)

A snough? :laugh:

Ooohh you're a saucy one! I love it!!

emilysebastian, what brand/color did you use on your digits! Polishphile here, gotta know. ;) I'm still excited for my first 5K at the end of March, but I'm kinda bummed out about it...it's at Knott's Berry Farm and I really thought I'd read that people loved running in the shadows of the steel giants, which lead me to…

April, LOL! You can keep the single digits. Really. I don't need 'em. :tongue: Roboray, thanks. :) It is hard to get into running! Having a playlist with sexy rockin' music helps, as well as having RunKeeper - getting the immediate feedback of how far I've gone, for how long, and how many calories burned REALLY helps me…

jsecret - *bow* you're a freakin' rock star! Congrats on surpassing the challenge!! bjshooter, keep that positivity going! violet_810 - you're only three pounds away from your goal! That's great. One of my go-to places for recipes is (don't hate me/scold me) the Campbell's website. One of our favorite recipes is chicken…

I'll get back in here to comment on everyone's updates, but I wanted to get the chart link in here. It has been updated to reflect losses up to Week 5. H20 Weigh-In Log: http://bit.ly/h2DHFP

April, I really hope you feel absolutely completely normal soon! Chili sounds fantastic, hope it turns out great. Have fun watching the game! Just wanted to remind everyone of the water bottle decorating! I *think* we have until the end of the challenge to turn in our work, but, yeah! Rock it!

I think you should definitely start shopping now! Get as many options and ideas as you can. Like others said, if you're planning on ordering a dress, that process takes several months. If you're going to purchase it off the rack (like at David's Bridal), then you may be able to hold off on choosing your gown for a little…

All y'all dealing with snow and actual weather, be careful out there! I've got absolutely NO idea what you are going through and can't even imagine carrying on with daily tasks and errands with all of the elements that you have to fight through. We Californians are spoiled. We go on *DUN DUN DUN* RAIN WATCH 2011!! when…

So who all is enjoying this splendid California Winter weather?

[Homer Simpson voice] mmmmm...Red Velvet Cupcake...*droool*[/Homer Simpson voice] I do so love a cupcake, especially a free one, but one that's been hanging out in a display all day and that will leave you feeling negatively is not worth it. Bake yourself a guilt-free cuppie (red velvet cake mix + diet 7-Up) and enjoy that…
