Jenn....wishing a better, less eventful (notice I did not say the Q word!) week for both of us!!!

Hi Group!:happy: Had been doing great with packing my lunch/dinner for the last 4 days until yesterday. I actually packed it, but didn't have a chance to eat ALL DAY...at one point I did grab my orange, sat on the tailgate of my truck and took a breather. HORRIFIC traffic collision with two fatalities..we were out there…

Too many ~ a processed, sodium filled 'food'. Unless you REALLY have a CRAVING..you could always Google and find out how many you can have.

I agree with everyone about getting fitted. My husband and I went to The Running Store. The trainer aka salesperson spent approximately 30 minutes with each of us. First watching us walk up and down the corridor in the shop. Then bringing out several pair of shoes to try, first walking then jogging up and down the same…

Good for you Jenn! P90X is The Devil!! (Think mama from Water Boy!):laugh: Just wanted to thank you for starting this thread :flowerforyou: Pam

Hi Group! Just found our week 2........wow Jenn....trying to kill me??? lol! j/k!! Sounds like everyone is doing FABULOUS!! Keep it up!! Our group is AWESOME!! Last week exercise was a challenge for me...my allergies are in full swing and not getting much O2 to my lungs! Woke up feeling great today....off to do my wog.…

I'm 52yrs old, 5'7"....my daily allowed intake is 1400 cals. I don't eat my burned back, and most of the time I don't eat all of my 1400 cals. I'm training for a sprint tri and try to eat lean protein, veggies and complex carbs. Good Luck with your plan!

Do you have a Craigslist for your area? Make sure it has enough HP and check the weight limits. The first one we bought, my husband bottomed out (belts wouldn't go) because he surpassed the weight limit...whoops! Our current holds up to 350lbs and has 4HP.... varooooooooooooooom! Pam

Hi Everyone! So PROUD of everyone making changes, admitting to us things you normally wouldn't say in an 'outside' voice, getting up and moving!! :love: Today is my challenge day, first day of my weekend. I usually will sneak my treats from my hiding place several times a day (isn't that horrible???) Today, I emptied it…

Have to admit, I've slacked off the last couple of days.... my allergies have been in overdrive and haven't been able to breathe. So, not wanting to have an asthma attack...I've been a slacker! Feeling better today...going to get mine in after I get home from running errands! Have a great day everyone! Pam:flowerforyou:

TGIF is right!!! Hoping for 3 days of nothing mentally stressing!!!:ohwell: Did great with my eating until yesterday....felt like poop with these stupid allergies and ran from call to call until 2030hrs without a chance to eat ....what was in front of me with a rumbling,grumbling tummy as I went back to the station?? Jack…

Happy Sunday to our Challengers!!! :flowerforyou: Just wanted to drop in and say a quick hello before I head off to work :tongue: Hope everyone is staying on track, getting off the couch and drinking your water :drinker: The ONLY reason I'm staying on track is because I feel accountable to all of you! Have a blessed day!…

2 miles today ~ check!:happy:

Great job Jenn! Hope you can move tomorrow!!:laugh: Stretch, stretch, stretch! Pam

Hi Gang!! SW 191.6 Got my 2 miles in this morning before work.... and think I walked another mile at a traffic collision scene!:tongue:

Alright group.....let's ROCK IT!! W00T!!:happy: Where is everyone from? Maybe I can keep better track of our huge group by state/region!! I'm in Southern California, high desert town called Phelan, near Victorville. Pam:flowerforyou:

Good Morning October Challengers!! :flowerforyou: Jenn...SW 191.6 :ohwell: Not measuring. Totally understand the ponytail thing...I wear mine up at work too...I'm a traffic collision investigator with the Sheriff's Department. Good Luck to everyone in our group! Let's ROCK IT during October!! Pam B :drinker:

Thanks for both! Picked up some agave nectar yesterday!

Do you have a Panda Express? Instead of rice or noodles, you can use fresh steamed veggies as your base. Broccoli beef, mushroom chicken, string bean chicken are all listed as "Wok Smart" on their nutritional guide. While they don't add MSG, it seems all of their sodiumcounts are on the high side. I've taken to making egg…

Jenn...please add me!! Looked at your post earlier this morning and thought I bumped...guess not... Looks like a great group!! Pam:flowerforyou:

bump thanks!

The ONLY thing I'm not willing to give up!! Skinny Cow...think I have almost every flavor in my freezer! Pam:tongue:

Great minds think alike!! My husband and I were sitting on the couch watching the Ironman from Hawaii....seeing a 65yr old man and a 58yr old woman compete made us look at each other and say "Why not?". That being said, we are looking to compete in Carlsbad Sprint in July. Maybe La Quinta in April (God help me!) I'll be…

Bump! October is MY month! Turning the ripe old age of 52! Woot!:drinker:

If I buy Halloween candy, I buy 1 bag for me, 1 bag for the kids... So this year, the kids are getting fruit snacks...no candy. I'm sure the sugar content is about the same (not to mention the high fructose corn syrup), but at least I won't be 'sneaking' out of MY mixed bag! I'm a sugar addict...I'll admit it!! I LOVE…

Former WW member.....I found the new program offered to many choices...while good in moderation, I would forget about moderation and eat til I was content! I'm doing much better sticking with the basics...lean meat, veggies, fruit and whole grains. Best of Luck!

Bump:flowerforyou:

Do you have a grocery store near you that offers grinding your own butter? We have one that offers peanut or almond...both delicious! And, no additives!

Lots of us in the HD (High Desert) I'm in Phelan....southwest of Victorville near Wrightwood

Hi All:flowerforyou: It's the 6th day into the month.... but would like to join the 50+'ers! Pam
