@holly - hoping you feel better today! The best part about day is that tomorrow is a chance to have a good day! Isn't it great that you tracked what you were doing so you have a basis for change?! I am so proud of you! @Givens - I think I'm gonna start calling you GG! Great guzzling my friend! I knocked down 14 glasses…

Wow - what great rewards you are all giving yourself! So well deserved! I have had my eye on the pool at the gym for over a year and haven't taken the plunge...it's time!! I am setting aside my Saturday morning to don my bright red bathing suit, embarrassingly white legs and willing spirit to go for a swim!! So excited!! CC
-
BTL - You are what I affectionately refer to as a "Granola!" We have lots of neo-hippie types in Seattle/Portland area...and lots of Whole Foods and PCCs. LOL I would love to know the Dr. Oz chick pea recipe - looking for on the go snacks for my ridiculous daily commute! And btw, ain't nothin' wrong with a little granola…
-
Congratulations BTL!!! What a wonderful achievement - and GREAT numbers!! I love that you are doing this right, being supervised by your doctor, and making it happen!! So proud of you! CC
-
Nice job Givens! Yesterday I chalked up 11 glasses.
-
M23 - do you cook directly on the stove? I would love to know the secret to that! I use micro pop - not nearly as satisfying! Love popcorn, satisfies the crunchy salty munchy need!!
-
Mia - you are a girl after my own heart! Your recipes look wonderful! Having my amazing 12 year old cook make the Kung Pao this weekend! CC
-
OMG!! Stacey has already lost 103!! New heroine!
-
Givens, are you sure I didn't see you on "Lockup?" LOL
-
You are crazy with your Brit jokes! I bet you are adorable! Have you ever had Adobo? Uses tons of garlic (and so delish)! If y'all want a recipe, let me know. Can make it health friendly! CC
-
@BTL - is there any health reason to drink all the tea, or is that just a love of yours? @Holly - Great job! You made your 4 cup water goal! Not only that, you dumped a milkshake! You are my heroine for the night!
-
Love all the effort! @ Holly - So perfect to log during Extreme Weight Loss! I always learn a little something when I watch...even if I believe that slow and steady wins the race! @ dward - Wow! You are my new inspiration to go a little faster! CC
-
I'm in!
-
@ Alana - Definitely need to look for that Trail Mix, sounds right up my alley! I like the Fiber One Bars too, Peanut Butter is tasty. @ Holly - I never thought of using carbonated water for the Crystal Light, what a great idea! I think I will make mocktails for dinner this weekend! CC
-
Cool challenge - I am totally in! We have a back to school Ice Cream Social at the Elementary school tonight (I plan on bringing grapes to munch while my kiddos enjoy the ice cream)...so the gym may not happen. That said, burning while watching Double Divas is a great idea! LOL
-
Great job Alana!! Holly - don't beat yourself up. I love your goal of 4 cups of water today, baby steps are a great way to accomplish your goals! Since I am a water girl (no relation to Adam Sandler), and I did a monster workout at the gym last night, I was at 16 cups for the day! For the struggling folks out there that…

I have a week challenge idea. If y'all are like me, you have a pantry, freezer, fridge of food but still head to the grocery store each week to buy more! How about we have a pantry challenge?! The rules would be that you use what you currently have in your house, the only exception is that you are allowed to buy fresh…
-
I am not sure if this will work for you Holly, but have you tried the "next best alternative" method? It's funny you mention 7-11 nachos, they are literally one of my most favorite cravings on the planet! I find that if I have something similar, sometimes that helps to curb the crazy... I like baked Tostitos with Tostitos…
-
Givens - I love your NSV!! I used to have the affliction that the scale was the only determining factor of success, now I LOVE gym successes! Last year, I cried and told my husband there was no way I could go more than 5 minutes on the Stair Climber, now we do 45 minutes side-by-side! I am the happiest sweaty mess ever!…
-
You can do it Holly!!
-
Sorry, I didn't get a chance to post yesterday either! I have been travelling but am happily back at home for a while. I made a point to log my food on my phone while I was gone, but only had intermittent access on my iPad to check-in. I missed y'all! Here's to a more "connected" week! CC
-
Great idea!! My kiddos start school on Thursday, so it's been a run around, get everything ready, kind of weekend/week for us. My son will be playing football this year, so we are excited to be working with him to get the right foods and hydration in his system! I love the ol' standby crockpot! It is so convenient for…
-
Well - I am totally the exception to the rule...I drink TONS of water! I find that once I am consistently drinking water, I start to crave it - imagine that! It's also a great way to feel fuller longer, curb the appetite before dinner, etc. Also, I like to brush my teeth and follow up with a big jug of water, keeps me from…

Hi All: Day late in the weigh-in, I was travelling back from Texas yesterday. My Numbers: SW:384.3 CW: 364 GW: 349 LTGW: 185 Weigh-ins: Week 1: 08/01/13: 364 Week 2: 08/08/13: 357.5 Week 3: 08/15/13: 349.9 Week 4: 08/22/13: 346.2 Week 5: 08/29/13: So, a 3.7 pound loss is pretty good for a travel week (and I made my month…

All advice has been awesome! For flexibility, consider doing some floor work. It's so great when you feel like you can finally stretch. Just sit on the floor, legs spread as wide ad you can, then take your opposite hand and lean forward as close to your toes as possible, repeat other side, then both hands straight forward.…

For the grillers out there (and in honor of NFL football tonight) - here's a great veggie idea! Chop zucchini, tomatoes, snap peas and put in tin foil. Season with garlic, pepper and basil and wrap loosely. Throw it on the grill while you are cooking your meats (for about 15 minutes). Delish!!! CC
-
LOVE this!!!!!
-
I'm in!

Wow! Great loss dward!! I know how difficult it can be when travelling, so you rocked it! I have a business trip coming up this Monday - Thursday to TX, so I have to will myself to do well, stay hydrated, eat properly, and get in some movement! I don't know about you, but I also swell like crazy when I fly. Pidge - Nice…

BTL - I am very close to your family here in WA!! It is beautiful! dward - My BIL works in Pueblo! I was born in the CO Springs, my family lives near Fort Carson! I love it there too - I visit at least once a year (2 or 3 times if I can sneak it on top of a work trip)!
