Sharon, do you have a cardio and squat report for all week? And how many cups of water each day? Also, what about the 'new exercise' part of the challenge? Got your weigh-in posted...Thanks!

Well, I have TOM in the house - if he *has* to be here, I guess the first weigh-in is a good time! So, this morning, I was at 109.8.

Saturday...I spent the day with my daughter today...not good for exercising! :( Cardio: nope New Exercise: standing ab work (four days this week) Squats: 90 Water: 8 cups First weigh-in in the morning!!! Let's be gearing up to tackle next week's challenges! Like I said before, I **really** want us ALL to meet/exceed the…

Good heavens, I hate having my picture made! I couldn't decide which one to use, so I put up both: Edit to add: I'm on the Brown Team...GOOOO BROWNIES!!!

Right here is fine with me!

Friday... Cardio: nope New Exercise: see below Squats: 50 Water: 8 cups I have been wanting to go to the park and play tennis with the family for my 'new exercise,' but we had some stormy weather come in, and that brought some colder weather...pookey! Anyway, all this week, I've been doing some standing ab work with…

Oh, funny!!! "Brownies" **is** cheesy...but I like it!!! LOL

Thursday... Cardio: 85 minutes New Exercise: not yet...any time now! Squats: 130 (not all at one time, of course!) Water: 12 cups Come on guys...let's end the week strong!!! Gotta show everybody who's the NUMBER ONE team!!! GO BROWN BUDDIES!!! <3 (Good heavens, I sound cheesy! lol)

Wednesday...too busy today! No cardio, no new exercise, no squats! :cry: Water: 10 cups Like Kora said, surely tomorrow will be better! Oh, and I still have to put up my before picture...I dread that!

Oh, Sharon...what a terribly hectic schedule! It sounds like you've done really well getting in as much as you have! I don't know how you women do all this AND work outside your home! :( Kora, good job so far! Now, just *make* yourself drink more water! Over the last six months, I've trained myself to drink it room…

I hope this works...never put pictures on a thread before; had to have my son help me! So here's what I made for supper tonight: Grilled Herbed Dijon Chicken, Raw Broccoli Salad, and Roasted Squash and Peppers We grilled the chicken breasts (outside over cedar & hickory) with minimal salt; here's the Herbed Dijon Sauce…

Yeah, I thought it would be relatively easy for me to find it all (to report it) if all the info is here! And, THANKS SO MUCH, guys...it's looking great already! Here's my Tuesday... Cardio: 65 (25-circuit; 40-Leslie Sansone DVD) New Exercise: not yet Squats: 110 Water: 12 I still have to do my recipe/photo and my before…

Ummm, I think that's it, unless I missed something (somebody yell if we're forgetting something!) By 'food challenge,' you're referring to the recipe/photo thing?

Sharon, i joined the site last summer (I think,) but I too am new to this particular challenge. I was thinking that we could all come to this BROWN thread and post our daily challenge accomplishments...report what we've done *at least* every couple of days (ideally every day!) I intend to keep a chart (on paper - that's…

Oh, and I also have a 'rule' for myself...I can't start on my morning coffee until I've had at least a cup of water...

Hey guys!!! Looks like I'll be serving as our team's captain, so let's get busy, guys! Kora, I'm excited too...and, like you said, scared at the same time! Just the idea of 'challenging' ourselves can be scary, but let's just take this one day - one hour even - at a time, and show it who's boss! We can *definitely*…

Name: Pam How much do you weigh: 111.4 How many lbs would you like to lose?: ? (maybe 10) What are your goals along this journey?: reduce body fat, build muscle, run, be happy with my weight/fitness Will you be committed?: Definitely! What is your weakness (food wise)? Most anything that's starchy...oh, and dessert! Random…

You could hang around and motivate us with your skinniness! (lol) So, yes, YOU MATTER!!! <3

bump, so that I can study this thread when I have time...thanks!

bump...thanks, everybody!

That's GREAT!!! I know how you feel...I'm below my high school weight, and for this morning's weigh-in, I got on the scale four times just to make sure it was really right! It feels WONDERFUL, doesn't it! Great Job! :)

YES!!! I just had a bowl with: 1/3 of a banana, mashed 1/4 cup of cottage cheese (made it myself for the first time a couple of days ago!) 1/4 cup of greek yogurt 1/2 tablespoon of Smucker's Simply Fruit Blueberry 2 tablespoons of my Maple Cashew Granola I *LOVE* this combo! And thanks for all these other great ideas!

We're also the "only species" to drive cars or hold wedding ceremonies! Should we stop doing these things simply because we're the only species that does them? Of course not! The Bible talks about the drinking of milk in a favorable light...that's good enough for me!

Yeah, I am constantly amazed at how ugly people can be on here! It seems to me that the problem arises when others think that they know what's best for everybody. I keep my calories fairly low and DO NOT eat back my exercise calories; I HATE the idea of working out for the purpose of being able to eat more. And I do not…

bump...thanks!

I always wonder how the bigger folks run without hurting themselves, especially on some of the older seasons I watched on Netflix when they had them running the marathon. A year ago, I hurt my hip flexor (to the point of being on crutches) jogging an easy 3 miles, and weighing 125-130. :O

This was a good reply!!!

Hate to be a coycat, but...BUMP!

Me too !!! April 1 !!!
