Awesome!!! I've heard that the taste of lime and/or lemon can work to decrease the hunger pains. I'm not sure if our fair has a Mexican food stand, lol! God works magical wonders!

Keep it up! With that kind of faith, anything is possible!

Thanks Kim! If we keep going in the direction that we have set forth, eventually we will make it to our goal! Asking God for help along the way definitely helps to win the small battles that will eventually lead to the win of the larger war!

Way to go, man. When you need that extra motivation, just look at this pic and stay focused!

It is my first Beachbody Program. The kit came with a starter Resistance Band, which after doing a few reps with it, you can definitely fill it. I can maybe see once I get to Phase 3-4, I may want to get some free weights, but right now the resistance band is good. :)

Thanks for starting this group! I just started Power 90, on day 3 and I love it so far. After my 90 days on this, I will hit P90x.

I would tell him flat out, "Please leave me alone. I am happily married to the only man I want to be with in this world. I don't want to be with a boy who tries to disturb others' happiness." And if he can't accept that and still creeps you out, tell you HR department that if they do not doing anything about the situation,…

Thanks Icemaiden! I totally understand about the 50-100 pounds. Notice I didn't use the word "pledge"... I'm just simply asking that if you would like to and can, please donate if you like to, no matter how small. Thank you again! -Ian

Organic Dark Brown Sugar that is Fair Trade Certified. No chemicals. I would also search for Organic Honey, the darkest you can find. I will say that it does take a while to get used to compared to chemical filled sugars. It's not as sweet as those artificial sweeteners. But, that's part of making better choices and eating…

One thing to remember is that you are only going to get what you put into it. In other words, don't have too high expectations. It's easy putting the weight on, but it's a million times harder taking the weight off. However you decide to go, good luck on your journey and we are here for you! -Ian

I've heard eating a lot of prunes will 'cleanse your colon'... :laugh:

Alright. Crisis adverted. Went out tonight and had a Green Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette on the side with a small Mahi Mahi Steak and a couple of Pita Chips with about 2 tablespoons of fresh hummus with about 10 grapes for dessert! I would guesstimate about 450 calories. Not too bad for a night out! One more day until…

Glad I burnt a ton of calories today. We're heading to a birthday party at a Tapas Bar and based on their menu, I have NO CLUE on what I am going to get. I've never been there before so it's going to be an interesting experience. They do have personal pizzas which you can build your own, so I am thinking that may be a…

Hey Kim, I just got back. It took me 1 hour and 18 minutes to complete the 6.2 miles. This is the first time I have ever ran a distance of this length and I am happy I finished it!!! According to my IPod Touch and Nike+ App, I burned off 1,149 Calories! Woo hoo!!! -Ian

Hello Everyone and Good Morning to your weekend!!! Stay strong these next couple of days and lets see some good numbers on Monday! I kinda took a sneak-peak at my weight this morning and I am PLEASED to say the least! Going for a 10K Run here in a minute! See you all later!

Holy Cow!! What kind are you using?

Speaking of Sodium... Has anyone been able to keep their Daily Sodium Intake at or below 2500mg? The only way I see it happening is to eat veggies and no processed foods, etc.... It's tough! LOL! -Ian

Hello Everyone! Good morning and Happy Friday! Woo Hoo! I hope you all have a great day as well as a good start to your weekend. Stay focused on your goals and you will get there. If you get off track, just get back on. Simple as that! That's what I had to do this week. Too much junk food earlier in the week, but now…

Thanks Tiff!

Just checking in briefly... Today at work consisted of me driving around all day to log GPS coordinates. 8 counties and 11 hours later, I am finally home. So, YOU GUESSED IT! Fast food all the way... :frown: BUT WAIT! :laugh: I had Subway for both Lunch and Dinner!!!! 6" Oven Roasted Chicken for Lunch and 6" Veggie Delight…

Grrr!!!!! Why did we have to make a junk-food run last night at 9?!?! I felt horrible this morning. My stomach still isn't feeling all that great. Well, as part of my punishment, I just did 70 minutes of Wii Fit Plus and burned about 360 calories. The wife and I are planning on going for a jog this afternoon and already…

Morning all! I am starting to get back on the wagon today... I did my 30 minute Strength/Cardio workout on Wii Fit Plus this morning and am hoping it's warm this afternoon to do some jogging. I hope all is well with you and yours! -Ian :smile:

Jessica - 171.2 (2# loss) Anu - 217 (- 1 lb) Ian- 245 (+3lbs) It's been a LONG week. I'll just leave it at that! Glad to be back on track and at home. -Ian

Linda, What's your Sodium like? Also, I glanced over at your Food and Exercise diaries and I noticed that you are burning on average over 1,000 calories per day! Way to go on that! I'm wondering if your body has become used to the amount of calories you take in versus how many your burn, I.E. your metabolism has gone…

Way To Go, Visualize This!!! So far we are doing great! And remember, your body's weight will fluctuate, so if you didn't lose any or not as much as you had hoped for this week, just keep on working! Next weekend, you'll blow us all away! Stay focused on your goals, both short and long term. Remember, Rome wasn't built in…

I like how my lower legs are starting to get a little toned and my calves are getting larger- Mainly from jogging! Why haven't they made a Calorie-Free Fried Chicken dinner yet?! :laugh:

Check In Day! I had a great week. I minded my P's and Q's and only had 1 bad day which was Thursday. I ran a few times this week and also did my Wii Fit Plus workouts which includes Strength and Cardio almost every day. My last weigh-in was Wednesday of last week and I had checked in at 244. Drumroll please........ This…

Hmm.. The infamous late-night-before-bed-cravings :mad: :mad: :mad: , LOL! I tried to steer clear of the fridge before sleep, but if I MUST get something, I'll usually go for a Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Jell-O Cup... Only 60 calories and it's good and cold to cool your body down a little to make you want to get underneath…

Shouldn't we keep it on the same thread? It will be hard to juggle multiple threads down the road, won't it? Or am I missing something? :ohwell:

Hey Everyone, It's getting close to our first check-in! One more day to go! Let's keep up the good work and stay positive! Also, our group is very active compared to some on MFP and I think that's great! Way to go, guys!!! -Ian
