Hello Everyone! I am Melissa (aka coopscoopc) and will be co-leading with Kris. I am very excited to help with this group challenge. Clean eating and calorie counting are especially important to me. This is a big challenge in itself! During the holidays we all want to face plant in those cookies, brownies, fudge, candies…

Okay... second day in a row at the gym done! I am up to 14.5 miles this week! I will be on vacation next week, not sure how I can get my weight calculated. Ugh. And being on vacation.. do I want to log my weigh in? lol

I didn't hit my goal to work out yesterday, but I am definitely aiming to git r dun today! I also want to nail my calories, get to bed early, and prepare my salads.

My goal for the day is to get a work out in. I didn't get up in the morning to do it and my nights seem to be nuts... but before I do anything, I need to get a 30 minute work out in!

Thanks for sending me the invite! I seem to be desperate with making my goals and time after time I feel like I bomb these challenges. *sigh* I have been battling back issues for the last 6 months. I am my mother's soul caretaker after a double stroke and after 2 years of transferring my mom I "blew" out a herniated disk.…

Name: Melissa State: Indiana Goal: lose 16 pounds How: eating healthy exchanges of high protein, low carb, and nothing that I know I shouldn't eating. I would like to do 5 days of cardio with 2 days being strength.

I used to be one of their aerobic instructors. :smile: I started the lunch time kickboxing class. (still proud of it!) I like their classes and I like the instructors. I haven't been in a long time because now I work in Carmel and not downtown anymore. It is definitely worth it if you can swing the cost.

I always come back and read this. Love it!

Count me in too! I definitely need to lose 20 by Christmas!!

I have everything Richard has every put out there on the market... including his 1980s Album.. I guess it is called vinyl now? I am still on the 1st DVD on H.O.P.E. I love it! I even bought the extra DVD because I have always liked dance aerobics! If I have to move these buns, then shaking my groove thing to the music I…

*Bump* Don't want to lose this off my page

All Hail Richard! He is the king of weigh loss and he can't be denied. Props to the man that has motivated tons of pounds off of people. I love Richard and everything he does! If you can't dance, he will teach you, and yes people still grapevine they just call it something else ... like the electric slide. C'mon it's a…

ABSOLUTELY! And this is my plan too! I can't run because of shin splints and a bad left knee... but I can walk all day long! I take the stairs down... not up... but down. I walked 28 flights down the other day and that was a good work out. Find something you do like to do and it will make all the difference in the world.…

The cat is my big o' fur baby FlapJack... otherwise known as Gangster Kitty. :smile: He's my cuddle bug. but he does not like anyone else and is not afraid to let you know. LOL I love volleyball! I have all of the P90X series and ordered P90X3! Right now I am doing 21 Day Fix for the second time. I have an awful time about…

Jeesh! Took me 3 times to post a reply to this. lol I love technology! :drinker:

Aren't you afraid to walk at our mall with the teenagers taking over? :grumble:

I have been trying to locate the No More Excuses Mom group that works out in Greenwood somewhere. Adrienne is her name, but so far no luck finding her. I refuse to pay to work out somewhere. I all that I need at home and then some. Bowflex, Healthrider, treadmill, eliptical, windjammer, free weights, any kind of work out…

Daylight savings starts Sunday morning so we will have an hour more of sunlight at the end of the day (but dark until almost 8am again). [/quote] Ugh! Still not sure if I like the daylight savings time yet. How many years has it been??? :drinker:

I tried forever yesterday to get it to come up on my Instagram. I could not find it anywhere. Ugh!

I am in same boat! Started week 2 yesterday. I did get a little creative with the containers and made a chicken salad. It was great! I measured out chicken (red) grapes (purple) in the blue all together in one I mixed Mayo light, squirt of mustard, dab of miracle whip light and mixed it all up, then seasonings in the blue.…

I feel exactly the same way. I feel like I have been locked indoors since Christmas and I am so over it. I think I might just flip out if this snow doesn't go away and stay away! (she whined) :smile:

When I went to make my first week of breakfasts and lunches... I was like are you kidding me? But by the time I added the lettuce, mushrooms, celery, peppers, and chicken, the salads were HUGE! I used the purple container to measure out my black berries, and it was a very big portion. I was surprised. The smallest…

Hi I'm Melissa I have my 21 day fix. I plan to start Monday because it was a little confusing to me at first... I have to know the ins and outs before I can just jump in.... I have figured out how I am going to use my containers and now I have to get my groceries to meal plan. I hope to lose 15 pounds. The pool opens May…

Bump: How do I add this link to my home page? I don't want to lose it because I think this should be ready every single time I fall of the motivation wagon.

I would totally love being able to go out and by myself whatever I wanted! YAY! Nice gift! :smile:

My mother in law bought me a vacuum cleaner for Christmas 2 years ago. Still sitting in the box. The year before she got me a plaid flannel long sleeved shirt in black/white colors (I totally dislike plaid and I totally dislike flannel) The year before THAT she stole my white elephant gift I opened which was a 3 crock pot…

I'm with you. I want to see my calories and carbs summary. The points thing just didn't work for me. And some of us just can't snack on fruits like that all day long.. I truly felt like I was starving! I have a lot of friends that like the system and it works for them. Me? I like this format so much better. I can…

So awesome on the weight loss! Toot Toot! let's git r dun this time!

I am in month 4 of WW and I have had little to no success. I am going back to counting calories and moving more. Plus I don't like to spend money for a weight loss system. I firmly believe moving every day, making good food choices, and counting calories is the way to go. Calories in and Calories out!
