Not only do you look amazing weight-wise, you also look a good 5 to 10 years younger! Amazing transformation. Congratulations!

I haven't tried starting a private group yet...anyone wanna volunteer to make the magic happen? And I'm going to be upfront and honest here and say that the next two weeks might lack communication on my part (again). We are moving into our new house (yay!) and so I'm going to be packing/cleaning/moving/settling-in in the…

bmfazie - okay then, I'll whip up a little somethin' somethin' in the name of a challenge. :) Along the same lines, do we want to start new threads each week/every other week/keep everything in this one thread? Linda - I liked having a siggy too! I went to go update my CW and kept running around in circles feeling so…

Thanks for posting about the Never Land 5K. I'd totally forgotten about it and wrote it off in my mind! I just checked and it is only 66% full. Only thing is that it is on my hubby's birthday and I really don't think it is fair to him for me to hijack his day for a race. Unless he secretly wants to run it too...:laugh:

Cazz, I'm glad you're getting back into the swing of working out and even going back to work! :)

Eating before you party is also a basic rule of partying...drinking (at a party level) on an empty stomach (or one filled with something wimpy like a salad) will more than likely end up with a broken you the next morning. :laugh:

I'm a total Disney geek and had completely intended to run the Tinker Bell Half Marathon at Disneyland next year, but procrastinated (read: chickened out) and the race reached capacity. I think it would be amazing to earn that Cost to Coast Race Challenge medal. *swoon*

Sorry, double post. :)

I agree with you. 56 is nothing, especially when you consider a serving of orange juice is closer to 100. Another skinny option is using Baja Bob's margarita mix. Baja Bob's stuff is sugar free (uses Splenda instead) and along with margarita mix, they also make sweet & sour.

I like to drink a Skinny B*tch - vodka and Diet Coke. Or change it up a little and use vanilla vodka. I remember reading somewhere that the chemicals in the diet soda interact with the alcohol in a way that you feel drunker faster. So, yeah. But like someone else posted, enjoy your alcoholic beverage and don't stress too…

Apparently I'm completely out of the loop...when did we loose our signatures?! bmfrazie, I was thinking with this challenge that it would kind of me a self-enforced one. You pick what you want to challenge yourself on, and pick what you want your goal to be for the new year. If you think a more structured challenge format…

Can I just say I LOVE how much this thread has taken off recently?! :heart: :love:

BJ, I've got faith in you. Violet, welcome back! You and I can jump back in on this together! Hi myth4ever, nice to meet you. You should take a look through our old challenge threads, we've been around since August 2010!

New thread! :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/388970-team-h20-rockin-the-new-year-challenge

Oh and there is currently a WNW coupon out there. You can probably grab it online from a coupon clipping service (coupons hold no cash value, so when you buy them online you're paying for the finding/clipping/organizing costs of the seller).

My favorite recent deal was getting six Nivea lip products completely free. I also have been getting great deals on my face Maybelline mascaras. You pretty much just need to keep you eye out on the sales, and when a sale comes up for something you want, you search though your coupons for a match. ULTA is a really good…

If I were to start the next thread would everyone join in?

Hi everyone! I'm very sorry I dropped the ball on participating in this group/challenge. The house hunting turned into house buying and will shortly be house moving! Very exciting but very stressful process. My fitness has taken a dive...I haven't properly worked out in weeks and I'm barely maintaining my weight (within a…

I hear you on the drugstore brands being better than prestige cosmetics sometimes. Snce I started couponing I've been buying more drugstore makeup and I've been plesantly surprised by some of the things I find. Wet 'N Wild eyeshadow and nail polishes are fantastic. Maybelline Falsies mascara is my current fave. I'm no help…

Makeup outlet! *drool* I need to go to one of those. This place was in NYC and I live in LA, so I really doubt I'll be back there again in the immediate future. Did anyone else get the Sephora VIB 20% off (in-store and online) coupon?

I'm BAAAAAAAAAACK! :D Nola, I've visited the promised land! I got invited to go to the Estee Lauder company store where everything is discounted...and then employees get 40% off of the discounted price...and then the friend who invited me bought me whatever I wanted using their quarterly store credit. It was SO much better…

As usual, I'm driving-by with the opening of this new thread. I wish I was more caught up with what everyone has going on, and I wish I could say I was doing well with my exercising. I'm very tangled up with other things in life right now and spending time exercising/on MFP just hasn't been a priority. I have been…

Hi ladies! I'm so sorry I haven't been in here. I've really lost my mojo to exercise, post, even drink water. Only thing I'm kinda doing right is watching my food, and the scale shows that, as I've steadily been maintaining. I really do need to dig down inside of me and remember what I liked about exercising, because right…

Drive-by!! :)

I'm totally addicted to anything pumpkin! Thanks for posting this recipe. You should give these a shot too...they are FANTASTIC, and even though they're "healthy", my hubby likes them! The caramel pumpkin pudding works out better than the fluffernutter, but, both are fun! http://www.hungry-girl.com/newsletters/raw/393

I'm down a smidge from last week, 0.2 pounds. Down is better than up, though! Tonight dinner is all-you-can-eat shrimp at Red Lobster for my cousin's birthday. I've already looked online at the nutrition info...here's hoping I can keep control of myself. Though, no guarantees, as I dont call those cheddar bay biscuits…

Alegria, thank you for this. <3

Hig school football is the best! Hubby and I are strange in that we only like sports teams that are related to schools because we feel they are representative of the talent in the area. We hate that pro teams aren't representative of an area's talent since the players are from all over the place and are brought together by…

Bmfrazie, I love your siggy picture! It is all about Donkey Lips and Ug!

Yay a new challenge! Sorry for not being around her very much, ladies. Our house hunting has totally gotten serious and we're in the process of BUYING a house! Amazing. So, the next couple months will be a roller coaster ride. Keep on being awesome, ladies!
