true - oh my, but in 6th grade.. t/f - the person below me ate too much for lunch..

I"m in.. I only had 2 kids, but 1 was 10 lbs at birth, so I'm not really sure I still have muscles under there...:noway: :noway: Would be good to find out.. janiebeth

I"m with you A.. Don't know of any scientific evidence of water increasing metabolism - certainly not to the extent that exercise and weight training can do. Water is essential to losing weight, but not as a boost to metabolism, more as a way to keep hydrated and prevent the buildup of water weight within the tissues.. jb

You totally got me - scared me half to death.. I thought you were having a really bad day.. :laugh: :laugh: WAY TO GO!!! Excellent birthday present to yourself - many more years.. Happy Birthday.. jb

I'm so sorry - that is way too fine a car to be backed into..:love: :love: Hope all goes well with insurance and repairs... jb

WAY TO GO!! Geez, we had some really big losers this week. Way to go everyone.. Spyguy - I had the same stomach bug, but still gained half a pound. Guess I recovered too fast.. Send weigh ins to bohlon15.. Keep up the good work Black Team.. Jb

sorry I missed you Sara - I am going on vacation this summer - just don't know where yet T/F the person below should be working rather than messaging

false - although I'd love to learn all types of ballroom dancing. T/F - the person below me should be working rather than messaging..

You guys are so awesome.. I love hearing about the loses - excellent job to all.. SPOILER ALERT: I (on the other hand) have gained :cry: :cry: :cry: but only 0.6 lbs, so I'm hoping you won't make me go home (like on last nights show.. :explode: :explode: - I did not like the way they did that). Focusing on my water this…

That's awesome Samantha - congratulations. I am so far away... but getting closer every day. I may ask you to yell at me like Jillian just did "it just gets harder"!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: Now I know why everyone says she is so tough.. wow.. jb

False - thank god... OK, true or false, the person below me has worked out for at least 30 minutes today jb

Sorry Amanda.. jb

That's how I feel about it too.. Did the kids try it? Mine love it.. Glad you like it.. jb

yup, they just weighed in his wife (or whoever he came with) - I think they are expecting him to come back -- very scary - and dramatic... quite to the point,,, I am in tears.. jb

Hey black team.. I'm watching too - we are training with Jillian --- oh kick my toochas.... :smokin: :smokin: jb

I've never watched it before (oh my god a newbie BL), but I can't wait to watch tonight.. Will probably take a lot of crap from the family, but it is worth it..:love: :love: jb

Imagine how you would walk if your shoes were shaped like balls - particularly on the soles.. Very funny :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

This hails back to the stage, when understudies would learn all the lines with the lead actor. If the lead actor could not act for some reason (ie, they had broken their leg), the understudy would take over the part.. jb

That is really discouraging.. I always thought that the calories burned were related to weight, time, and intensity. I wouldn't have expected the calories to fall off so dramatically over time. But then, I am not an experienced HRM person, so maybe I am just not familiar.. Might be worth checking the monitor, if only for…

Dang, as soon as I start trying to mess with the quotes, I mess it all up... good night guys.. jb

Honestly Laura, it sounds like your HRM was off. If I walked 40 minutes at an average of 3mph, I'm certain it would be more than 131 calories. What does the MFP exercise calculator give you for calories burned? I know it is generally not as accurate, but in this case, I would seriously consider checking.. In any case, nice…

That was fun - I needed a little silly - first day back to work today:grumble: :grumble: I logged breakfast.. Sam says, drink 8 oz of water.. jb

OK, janiebeth did the 10 sit ups (well really 10 good crunches - I cant get all the way up). Sams says do air guitar and dance around like a rock star for 30 seconds.. jb

Hi meggie, just over 1000 calories a day is too little. you are basically putting your body into starvation mode. please check out the advise on the following thread that explains this really well. good luck.. jb http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/10665-newbies-please-read-me-2nd-edition

My husband and I have been using single wrapped lifesavers for a sweet treat. Just enough to get your sweet tooth satisfied, but not enough to add too many calories. JB

Sorry to slide in on your post, but just have to tell you - I LOVE THIS MAGAZINE.. I've tried many of their recipes and rarely find one that I don't love. They also include articles on living healthy and travel. All around great magazine.. Enjoy.. jb

[/quote] Do you have this in the food data base? It would be great if it was! [/quote] Not yet, keiko - I guess it really is time for me to make this for dinner.. jb

It's a great exercise Laura - just don't try to lift too far, even fractions of an inch work for this one.. enjoy.. jb

oh, geez - I need to go wash out my brain.. :sick: :sick: :sick: :noway: :noway: how about "City of Angels" - this one kills me in the tear department.. jb
