Great job Blue Team and everyone!!!! The challlenge shouldn't be a problem, already do most of it anyway - will just have to adjust to make it a little more.

Well.... that's a hard one for me. No one specific, kind of a little bit of it all. Since losing weight, I like to try all different kinds of styles. Someone I admire is a lady at the gym. I noticed her on the free weight side of the gym. Finally talked to her. She's 54, lost 80 pounds and has kept it off for 5 years.…

Well, not much. Right now it's reading & homework, but I do play co-ed softball and playing with my 18 month old granddaughter.

Real Wednesday QOTD: Not really anything that has inspired me to lose weight, but when I'm working out I listen to Eminem, Nickelback, anything that has a hard beat to it. canidoit11 - I love that song!!!!!! The first time I heard it I was with my DD14. I thought both of us were going to pee ourselves we were laughing so…

Food has been good - need to work on eating dinner earlier. Water: 20…

No one inspired me. At 260+ pounds I hurt and I was just tired of being tired and hurting all the time. Now, I can say the inspiration to keep the weight off and be healthy is my 18 month granddaughter. Her mom is overweight, just like I was. It has to be one of my biggest regrets - teaching my children to be unhealthy.

Favorite go to - grind up oatmeal in a blender - mix with protein shake. Let sit a few minutes, then drink. Yeah I know sounds gross, but it gets the job done when I'm in a hurry. Otherwise - scrambled egg whites.

Tuesday Cardio: treadmill - 2.19 miles 30 min 252 calories Strength: Chest & abs wide grip barbell bench press 4 x 8 (first time for me, so a little strange to me) push-up wide 3 x 15 butterfly 3 x 10 incline dumbell press 3 x 10 side to side push-ups 3 x 10 toes touchers 3 x 20 crunches 3 x 20 knee raise on parallel bars…

My favorite body part? Right now I'd have to say my calves & shoulders. I have always had big calves, but at least now you can see the muscle in them. My shoulders seem to respond quickly to weights, so they are always the first part to show. Still having a hard time getting up to 2000 calories. Trying to do this on an…

Monday: Cardio - Arch Trainer 35 min - 325 cal Strength: Back Wide Grip pull-ups 3 x 10 Bentover barbell row 3 x 8 Seated cable row 3 x 8 wide grip lat pulldown 3 x 10 one arm dumbbell row 3 x 8 hammer strength lat pulldown 3 x 10 back extensions 3 x 8 Assessment: Felt good today. Food good - still a little under 1600 cal,…

Medifast is a good program. I lost 110 pounds on Medifast. I did follow transition though. Took twice as long as recommended. It does work, but as with anything else, if you don't learn behavior modification the weight will come back.

Hi Everyone!!! Glad I could join. MONDAY QOTD: What exercise combinations work best for you/do you see the best results with?? I worked with a personal trainer at the first of the year. So, combo and strength and cardio. Switched over to cardio over the summer, which I found out is not good for me. Put some weight back on.…

Wow! A lot to catch up on. The only time I was on the computer this weekend was to take a mid-term. Stinking Economics class!!!!! Food not nearly close to 2000 this weekend. Between babysitting and the test, just didn't happen. I would love to have a Body Fit or Body Bug. Just not in the budge right now. Everyone already…

I'm in! It would be nice to talk to other people that think you don't have to eat like a freakin bird! Little bout me - lost 110 lbs, have kept most of it off almost 3 years. Was working with a personal trainer at the gym, but divorce and $$$ stopped that. While I was doing that got down to 17% body fat. I was thrilled,…

Food: not a good day. Not bad, just not enough. Son-in-law had surgery to reattach a tendon in his…

Good for you for recognizing what you were doing! You stopped and made plans for the next time. At least now you know what you doing during stressful situations and can head it off next time.

Hour at the gym doing back/biceps - no idea on calories burned 60 spin class - 447 cal. Way below my normal, but my legs are so sore from yesterday's workout I just couldn't get it together. Water - gallon + Food - under, but good.

Cardio: 60 min spin class 447 cal. Not normal, but my legs are so stinkin sore from the workout yesterday I just couldn't get it going like normal. Strength: 3 x10 Wide grip lat pull down seated narrow grip cable rows bent over barbell row back extensions barbell curl hammer curl Assessment: Food a little under - only…

eabutterlfy - Are you weighing & measuring your food? Start a new exercise program? Any thing can affect you weight. I'm betting it's only temporary and will come off quickly. I know for me when I don't drink enough water, I retain water. If I eat "white food" rice, pasta, etc I gain immediately, but it's water. So, don't…

I'd l ike to join too. I wear a HRM when I do cardio, but not weights - so guess I may have to start or just use what MFP says. Don't know how many burned today. Hour at the gym doing weights (legs), then walked two dogs,separately. Been fighting the pounds over and over and over again. This should help to get my butt in…

Monday Oct 3rd Cardio: Walking the dogs. One is 10, one is 4. I walk each one separate. The 4 yr old does his "walk" in sprints. Full out run then stop, sniff, pee - repeat. Strength: Legs 3 x 10 Leg Extensions Wide Stance Barbell Squates Walking lunges single-leg dumbbell deadlift lying leg curls seated calf raise seated…

I'm with diamonangel on this one. My ratios are pretty close to hers. If I eat any more carbs than that I blow up like a balloon and retain water.

ymachick - Right now, I'm starting a new weight lifting program, so calories are 1600 to 2000. As I go along prob more on the 2000 end. Proteins - egg whites, white meat chicken & turkey, tilapia, and tuna. I try to drink at least a gallon of water a day.

Congrats to all who lost this week! I completely forgot about filling out the form Friday. Sorry!!! I'll remember this week. ymachick - I'm assuming this is a doctor supervised program? That's really low on the calories and carbs. I can speak from experience - been to lots of weight dr's over the years. My mom started me…
