Wow yeah, that's tough. Hopefully someone here that has jobs where they have a difficult time getting away from can offer some help. However, I do know that once the body gets used to being hydrated it will start to process water more efficiently and you'll need to go less. The only other thing I can thing of is staying…

I LOVE Fiji. However, if you want something a bit more exotic either Costa Rica or the Galapagos Islands. Been to both LOVE both. One place I have been meaning to go to is Peru and do the backpacking climb to Manchu Pichu. I enjoy getting deep within a country and exploring. I usually loose weight on vacations because we…

Ok guys!!!! Downed 3 so far!!! How are the rest of you doing??? :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Keep in mind, only three cuz I'm on California time.

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Was bad today...will do better tomorrow

I'm in!!! 175 as of this morning. Was 174 last week but, ya know one of them found it's way back to my... scale. :blushing:

Ok guys, so I did my end of week 2 exhaustion test and I was able to do 12!!! Not a HUGE number in itself BUT my first test 2 weeks ago I was only able to do 8. So, slow and steady wins the race, I'm happy with being at 12 for the second week in. Start on week 3 tomorrow.

Oh, and icing your shins after working out may help also for a while.

New shoes will do wonders as will inserts. I also have arch issues in addition to some back problems. I went down to a place my doctor recommend and got fitted correctly for good shoes. They not only measure your feet, but watch how you walk/run and talk to you about any foot pain or injuries you have had. I just started…

I like your enthusiasm!!! Welcome aboard and good luck!!!

Mongolian BBQ and Sushi are my favs for lunch during the week if I go out. I usually stick to the meat and veggies with no noodles at the Mongolian places. I also love it's set up buffet style so you can pick and choose.

From my experience my body functions are perfect when I up the amount of veggies, water and fruit I eat. If my body doesnt do it naturally then I figure I dont need it or I'm doing something wrong on the intake and exhertion.

Good deal and welcome! We all gotta start somewhere. Even if we (me) has to repeat a week or two. :embarassed:

Ug...I might want to repeat this week. Although I haven't taken the end of week 2 exhaustion test and I'm not as strong today as I have been earlier in the week. I think it's due to the heat. I'll let you know how I do tomorrow with my 2nd exhaustion test. WK2/D3/LV1 5 7 5 5 10 (barely)

oh man, I wish I would have done the same yesterday. I went to Chili's yesterday with a friend. Normally I plan what I eat before I get there so I dont have to look at the menu and it usually works. But going to Chilis was not in my plan and we had just been bike riding. I had the Cobb salad with advocado-ranch dressing. I…

That's why we are all here...to help each other. Start with baby steps. Just do the basics like set your profile up. The food diary is a wonderful tool. I started simply by logging my food and I am not really dieting. I just watch my intake and log everything even if its a cookie or ice cream. Also, I dont know about you…

3:45p and I'm at 48oz....jeez how do you keep from floating away!:embarassed:

Had another 8 before a left for lunch which brings my total to 40oz. Does unsweetened tea count? Or are we just counting straight up water? I had 32oz of tea at lunch.

I just started a running clinic and I run/walk (not quite a runner yet) 4 days a week. I fill that in with some strength training in the form of pushup/situp/sqaut challenges. In addition I lead a very active life outside of my sendentary job. Tomorrow I'll be doing a day long bike ride with a girlfriend I haven't seen in…

:drinker: downed 16 more so I'm at 32oz and it's 11am here. I need to catch up with you guys!

I'm in!!! Weight as of this morning 174 (down three pound from starting MFP two weeks ago!) Goal weight 145

No it doesnt!!! Fruit and cheese are the perfect combo!!! Yeah, usually have a glass of wine with that combo but you get the point. :wink:

Thank you for posting this. I agree with you.

What a terrific birthday present you gave yourself!!! Happy birthday and congrats!!! I have never been able to zip boots all the way up but I have come close. I can't wait until I can do the same. Thanks for sharing!

Opps, posted on yesterdays posting. So far i'm 16oz in. Filling my water bottle for my next round.

Count me in! I only had 16oz this morning so far but i'm filling up my water bottle now!

Howdy and welcome! Yeah, it's a terrific site! I got my daughter and my niece to join as well.

Well I guess someone had to take it for the team. :laugh:

ahhh....but even with sushi you have to be careful because of the mercury. But then again to your point, it will help build immunity against the alien attack. :laugh:

Ah man today was tough but I finished barely squeeking the last 7 out. Week 2/Day2/Level 1 5 6 4 4 maxed 7 Hopefully Friday I'll be stronger!
