Eplizzitiz - CONGRATS!!! Psychofied - I wish I had half your determination and energy to get the exercises knocked out so quickly! Ladies, I'm trying my best to not let you all down, but I'm really struggling with this week's exercises due to school. I will see what this afternoon brings for me and if I find it hard to get…

I didn't lose or gain

definitely there because I log it when I do my major cleaning to my house every Saturday Cleaning, light, moderate effort Hope you can find it :wink:

Good morning Ladies, I'm trying my best to stay in the challenge because I really don't want to quit this far in, but I am having to do the exercises whenever I can get them in which means doubling up the exercises for some days. Here is what I was able to accomplish yesterday after working 6:30am-5:30pm (this included a 2…

I would love to join the challenge, but i'm a little worried about joining knowing that I will be in Vegas from 9/16-9/21. If I change my mind I will let you know :smile: I will have to watch for an October Challenge :wink:

I will be doing the exercises from yesterday (along with my sit-ups/crunches) and today's exercises this evening as well. I just emailed Sonia that I was over calories yesterday because my husband had me out of the house running errands after he got home from work so I wasn't able to get my exercise in :grumble: ...LOL!…

from my understanding the Net Cals are what you have actually consumed after your exercise calories are subtracted from what you eat throughout the day; therefore, it is saying that you have only consumed 890 calories for the day because you burned 813 with exercise. I would try to bring your Net up 1200...that would only…

I feel like a slacker :frown: because I can only commit to 200 toward the team goal. BUT, I will squeeze in extra wherever I can - I work 7:00-4:30 Mon-Fri; however, I start my college classes this week and one class is from 11:00-12:15 and my PE is from 6:00-9:00pm EST, both on Tuesday & Thursday; thefore, I will be stuck…

Sonia, I will get my weight to you in the morning - sorry forgot to weigh this morning and don't want to weigh after eating all day.

Ladies, I hate to report that I was not able to complete the exercises for Friday - I did the stair climbs and 25 Jacks before I started feeling bad and had to stop. My husband was off yesterday (he normally works 6 days/week) and had me out of the house shopping along with participating in a kickball game with my sister -…

I actually have a desk job, but I'm not in a production area so there is a little more time for walking the halls. When I did my set-up I selected sedentary because I sit for the majority of my day. I feel that I can honestly contribute the 1.8 miles I walked toward our 100 Mile Challenge because as previously stated I do…

I sent Sonia an email, but want to post my question here as well: I normally do not count my every day walking as part of my exercise, but today I decided to wear my pedometer to see exactly how much walking I do during my normal work day and so far I have walked 1.23 miles in about 3 1/2 hours - do you think that my…

I have 2 suits that I bought when a "Petite" store went out of business and I wore one of them for about 2 months; the other I needed to lose about 5-10lbs for it to fit right (without being tight)...instead of losing I gained until neither of them fit :frown:! The one I couldn't wear when I bought it still has the tags…

I am back up to 122...I am at the end of TOM so hopefully that is why!

add another 1/2 mile - I was able to walk/run .5 miles in 8 minutes before my Zumba Class :bigsmile: I will attempt to get another 1 1/2 miles this afternoon, but can't make any promises.

You are going to do bicep curls as follows (Bicep Curls may be done with cans of soup or bottles of water if you don’t have any weights): 7 lower (with arms extended down by your sides so that weights are at your thighs, lift up to hips then down back up to hips then down until you have hit 7 reps) 7 upper (with arms bent…

Thursday QOTD: What nutrition or fitness tool can you no longer live without? I can honestly say that I don't have a nutrition/fitness tool I can't live without.

Weren't we suppose to do 50 swimmer presses & 1 extra mile for the daily exercise challenge????

I would like to get a massage

I just took a look at your Diary and it is set at 1400 Calories per day. I went back to 8/4 and on the days that you recorded exercise, I took the amount of calories that you ate minus the calories you burned with exercise and here is what I have: 8/4 you only consumed 744 calories after exercise was deducted 8/6 you…

This may help you out: How to determine your BMR this site (http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/bmr-formula.php) has my BMR at 1289 and MFP has it at 1134 so there is a 155 calorie difference - that is a pretty big in my book: English BMR Formula Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in…

Okay, I'm not sure who is responsible for today's QOTD, but since we don't have one yet I will post one...hope no one minds :happy: Since you have started using MFP...what are some new exercises or group fitness classes you have tried? Did you like them? Would you recommend them to your friends and fellow Little Diamonds?…

Hey Sonia, I sent you an email, but wanted to post the info here as well (this is from yesterday 8/8/2011): I was over calories (I was not able to get in my lunch workout because I forgot to bring socks and then TOM hit so I was only able to do our challenge exercise) 50 Squat-Kicks DONE 64oz of Water DONE I intended on…

Okay ladies, I just found a few new recipes I intend on trying so thought I would share them with you... MINI FRITTATAS (Prep: 10min; Bake: 15min; Serves: 6) -6 slices ham (i'm assuming these are rectangle slices) -1 tbsp vegetable oil -1 small potato, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice -1 small onion, finely chopped -1/2…

I weighed in at 121 this morning! I will do my best to get in 6 extra miles this week to help with our team challenge. As far as a recipe goes the only thing I can give is cereal as that is really the only thing I feel is healthy. My husband and I are extremely picky eaters so we don't do any kind of wheat pasta, brown…

I'm going to answer this while I have the opportunity...getting busy at work so need to reduce the amount of time I check MFP during the day: I love audiobooks (not a big fan of sappy romance novels...LOL) As far as movies...I like quite a few different types, but horror would be at the top of the list. Here are a few of…

I agree that we should split this evenly among all members unless there is a medical reason that someone cannot participate. As far as recipes...is this something we have to do? I am not one to just start cooking things from scratch so there really isn't a recipe I can share :ohwell:

I have one on my lower back that is pretty long and about 3-4 inches in height (better known as a "tramp stamp"....LOL). I would like to have more, but not likely to happen. Some that I would like are a Goth Tinkerbell...maybe on my shoulder and a Tazmanian Devil about an inch or two on my calf with "Shortee" underneath.…

I alternated my legs so it went like this: Step out right...squat...step back together...step back right...lunge...step back together Step out left...squat..step back together...step back left...lunge...step back together (((#1) Step out right...squat...step back together...step back right...lunge...step back together Step…

Okay ladies, I'm tired and going to bed - unfortunately, I am about 3 glasses shy of getting 64oz of water in for the day!
