Squats done on my lunch break again.... 3 sets of 20!!!! :happy:

50 squats done! I have decided to do my daily squats on my lunch break at work. I did 25 at the beginning of my half hour break, and 25 near the end. I will be going to the gym after work to get in some cardio and do a couple of the upper body strengthening machines. Happy July everyone!! :happy:

Hi all..... I'm Jodie... 50 years old with a lot of weight to lose. I need every challenge out there to keep me on track. I finally stated using my gym membership this past week and I feel better already. Cant wait to get started!!!!

Food Combining is NOT a diet.... it's a healthy way to eat. Your body uses different chemicals to digest different kinds of food, so when you combine the wrong things.... digestion can take longer because you have chemicals fighting each other. I work with a girl who has been eating like this for years. It doesnt make her…

This whole thread is making me laugh.... this world is so full of self-centered people! "I don't care about other people" is the theme here... how sad. Stace pointed out that these self absorbed people annoy her at the gym... and it looks like the gyms, and MFP, is full of them!!

LOL... took awhile, but I found the invite.... thought it was in emails, but it was with my friends requests!!!!

Happy Monday Challengers! I'm getting excited for this challenge! Started doing some de-tox this morning. I read 'somewhere' to drink water with a whole REAL lemon squeezed into it first thing in the morning. I put some Splenda in it and heated it up... not too bad. I'll try anything!!!! My biggest hurdle is FOOD! I eat…

Oh Coni..... I am sooooo in need of a challenge! Thank you for posting this.... obviously, I want in! Good timing too, with Spring right around the corner. Can't wait!!

You look so GREAT!!!! Keep up the good work!!

This may sound crazy, but I cant tell the difference! I have only tried wheat spaghetti so far though. My hubby didnt care for it, but he ate it anyways!!

Hey Kaye...... I dont eat very much meat, except chicken.... but I LOVE to make omelettes!! You can fill them with tons of veggies and low-fat cheeses. Good luck to you!!!

I signed up too! I'm going to push my limits and pledge 40 pounds by May 31st. I really hope this challenge will help keep me on track. Starting weight, Dec. 30- 222.3 (I'm weighing in on Thursdays) Good luck to everyone.... and thanks for invite and encouragement Angela!

Please join!!! We still have seven weeks til Turkey Day, so set a goal and jump in!!!

I weigh-in on Tuesdays, so I will post today as well..... once again, I am thrilled to have had a good week! I lost 4.5 pounds! YAY me!! Challenge: SW: 206.9 CW: 196.2 GW: 186.9 Total lost: 10.7

Thanks for posting.... its never too late! I've been 'dieting' for thirty years, so I know all about backsliding. You have to come up with a plan that you can live with.... so I congratulate you for taking the time to figure that out. I think I have finally found my 'groove'..... I cant wait to weigh-in tomorrow! You all…

Welcome MEK48!! There's still plenty of time to drop some pounds before Turkey day!!

One of my favorite desserts (which I got from a Weight Watchers recipe book) is a lowfat/lowcal Pumpkin cheesecake! Yummy!!

Congrats! It's always a good feeling to see the scale move downward. I know we give it too much power sometimes though. When the batterey in my digital scale died last week I was tempted to NOT replace it! But, I did. I just wish that stupid thing didnt have so much influence on my mood. I'm getting better though... I only…

Happy Friday Challengers!! Everyone is doing great..... I'm so proud of us!!!! The sun is FINALLY coming out in Virginia after a whole LOT of rain! It's going to be a great weekend! Let's all try to squeeze in a bit more exercise than normal to boost our metabolism..... they say that helps anyway! Dont forget to check out…

Glad you like it Stephanie! I dont mind inputing everyones weekly weight.... I actually enjoy it! It's been a great activity to keep me busy in the evenings. I think thats why I had such a good loss this week... my nightly munchies were replaced with spreadsheet building and updating!!!!!!

Congrats to everyone who had a loss! And, Congrats to EVERYONE for their dedication to a healthier lifestyle. I'm committed to this.... are you? (Food for thought!) Dont forget, I have a spreadsheet of everyone that I will update this evening. You can access it at Google Docs with the following link.....…

Of course you can join!! Just post your current weight and your goal for Thanksgiving.... good luck!!

I'm posting tonight because I have to be at work earlier than normal tomorrow and wont have time to get on the computer before I leave.... I had a great weigh-in today! I lost 4.7 pounds this week! Every now and then I need a number like that to keep my motivation up. This week I'm going to make more of an effort to do…

Sorry you arent feeling well Karen. I must admit, I've had that same issue at times during my weight loss. It will work itself out... no pun intended!! I was reading a friends blog today. She has lost over 50 pounds and is almost half way to her goal. I want to share just a line or two from it...... "I am the woman who…

Welcome Caroline!! Glad to have you! Unfortunately, I dont have any cooking/food suggestions, as I hate to cook! I have a protein shake for at least one meal a day. My daughters are grown, so I mostly just cook for myself, and my hubby when he's not on the road working (which is most of the time!). Hopefully, someone here…
