25 Push-ups = YES Under Calories = NO :sad: (my husband took me out to Red Lobster, but I did not do as bad as I easily could have :wink: ) 64oz water = I have not met this yet, but it is only 9:20pm my time and I should have this in before I go to bed (I will verify this when I meet it) You ladies ROCK!!!:wink: To help…

Question of the Day- Friday August 5th (TGIF!!!!) Reflect on this challenge since Day 1..........What have you learned and what have you changed as a result of being a Little Diamond? I guess I have learned to control the amount I eat; however, a lot of that came from being on Weight Watchers before MFP! From being in this…

Sonia - you actually step back into the lunge...here is a video link, but because of where she is doing this she only has room to do it on the right so we just have to alternate from right to left (I hope everyone can access the video - it's a big help) http://www.ehow.com/video_2351882_squat-lunge-combo-exercise.html The…

Since I was late finding/joining the challenge and didn't get my water in on Monday, I will definitely make up for my missed water on Sunday. Glad I already did the Jacks and I was under calories :laugh:

So far today: In the bathroom: wall push-ups (20) low squats (20) at my desk: calf raises (15) knee raises (10/5 ea leg)

YOU LADIES ROCK!!! I intended to get up a few minutes earlier this morning and get mine done, but that didn't happen so I will have to do them after I get home.

Qotd Thursday: what excuses do you use to eat something you shouldn't and how could you change this? I really don't catch myself doing this a lot, but when I do my excuse is normally "I've been doing good so 1 is not gonna hurt anything"...not sure I need to change it because it just doesn't happen often...LOL! When I did…

Good morning! My current weight is 121.2, which I believe is down .8 from last week

Okay, I had to actually see how this exercise works so I "googled" it and this is a video I found, but looking at the picture Sonia posted...are we suppose to jump up when we come to the standing position???? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiIoXedx1qk&feature=related Let me know your thoughts please

8/3/2011 CHECK-IN Under Calories = YES:happy: 64oz Water = YES :happy: 50 Sit-ups/Crunches = YES:happy:

Just do it...LOL I told someone yesterday that I wonder how many crazy looks I would get if I started doing walking lunges down the hall...LOL

For me water is the hardest part because I just don't get thirsty throughout the day at work. I did manage to get in my 64+ ounces yesterday and I only need 8 more ounces for today. I have a Droid and there is an app that will remind you to drink water - mine is set up to remind me every hour starting at 8am and ending at…

Question of the Day - Wednesday: How have your new healthier habits (eating healthier, exercising, etc) effected your significant other and/or child(ren)? Well, my husband tries to eat healthier to help support me, but there are some things he just can't give up (cookies, beef jerky, etc); however, I am pretty strict about…

Today I did 15 wall push-ups in the bathroom I guess technically they would be door push-ups since I used the stall door rather than the wall...LOL

Just to make sure you have my info for yesterday: I did the 1 mile, was under calories, and drank 9 (8oz) glasses of water :happy: I have already completed the 50 crunches challenge for today :wink: LET'S GO TEAM DETERMINATION!!!

Christi - if you have a pedometer maybe you can track your steps and add some calories back to help offset the drinking/eating on Friday

Mission Complete: 50 Jumping Jacks in the gym locker room and 20 squats (15 in the bathroom/5 at my desk)

adding the location would make this even more interesting....LOL

I will do what I can Another idea - if you work at a desk (cubicle) you can do leg raises while you sit :happy:

I am just a follower of the team for this, but plan to participate in all of the challenges (daily & weekly). Maybe, if someone drops I am far enough up on the list to become part of the team during the challenge. Although I did not see this thread until right before I was heading to bed last night...I have managed to get…

QOTD Tuesday: What is your favorite meal? By this I mean the meal that you most look/looked forward to, without regards to calories. Now, can you make it MFP-worthy? I would have to say lasagna (absolutely LOVE :love: my momma's), which is something I don't get at all anymore :sad:..partly because i'm married/don't live…

DANG...wish I had got in on this challenge before it closed! Although, I can't help you all earn extra points, if you all don't mind - I would like tag along with your team through the daily challenges, staying within my calories, and just chat in general. Here is my info if anyone would like to know: First name: Angie…

CONGRATS TO ALL THE LITTLE DIAMONDS!!! Monday Question of the Day - how did you set your goals? Is it based on weight, BMI, feeling healthy, body fat %, etc?? Or was it to get down to a previous weight or clothing size? Is it the final goal, or will you decide for sure once you get there? I originally set my goals based on…

Friday's QOTD Why do you want to lose this weight, and what was that push to lose the weight? For me...it is to feel better about myself. I am not overweight; however, most of my weight is in my stomach so if I am not careful about what I wear, I look pregnant (i.e. the cute little shirts...i believe they are called baby…

well, i'm up .6 @ 122 :grumble:

Do you eat your exercise calories back??? As of right now, I'm in the learning mode - still trying to figure out what is going to work for me (i.e. eating my exercise calories or not, how many calories to eat, etc). At the moment, I am maintaining and trying not to get discouraged so maybe I will figure it all out before I…

I have two of these #1 on my list would be Early Education #2 on my list would be Forensics (in the lab) I am currently going to school for Criminal Justice. The only reason I am not pursuing the teaching degree is class times don't allow me to go because I work full-time (Mon-Fri) and all the classes are ONLY offered…

Definitely recommend giving it a try to anyone that is thinking about it. Lisa is correct - the instructor definitely matters. I have been to several Zumba classes where the instructor just didn't work for me. I like for Zumba to be fast-paced so if the instructor is too slow, I don't return to their class!

QOTD for Monday! What is one thing you wish you could do before you die? Mine would have to be an Alaskan Cruise as well. My husband lived in Alaska when he was younger and we have talked about taking a cruise, but haven't done it yet. We are actually crossing Vegas off our list this September :laugh: QOTD for Tuesday!…

LOL - I am about 1 1/2 hours south of Atlanta in Columbus - you could not pay me to live in Atlanta...LOL! If we go to Atlanta for any reason I don't drive (or I try not to anyway)!
