Blues... has anyone of you all ever done a cleanse or detox?? I am considering doing one to help with tummy bloating and digestion. I understand its not a quick weight loss pill, but I always feel so bloated and my digestion (errr...ummm.... bowl movements) isn't often enough. Interested in your thoughts?

I read about the BMI too. Now I'm thinking of getting measured properly at my gym... I'll have to ask them about it. I have heard before that thin looking people can be fat. This reminds me that I need to measure myself. Maybe my body has changed even if the scale hasn't changed much.

Wow, I never really thought of it that way. I just thought my will power sucked... not that I was lacking something and reaching out to fill that need. Makes a lot of sense though. Next time, I will have to think about what I am in need of and why. Thanks for the insight!!

Go Blues!!! Woot!! Lets kill it this week!

smadag1 - great job getting in a homemade breakfast. And good job with the work our last night. lcorrell14 - tilapia is great! low cal too! I have a boxing class tonight. Homemade pizza for dinner. Hope everyone is doing well this week! Can't believe its nearly Feb!

almomay - it is interesting to see my weight change. I'm hoping that by noting my weight daily, I can learn more about my body. Oh well. I figure as long as I don't get angry at the scale, I'm ok. So glad to hear the baby is feeling better. Enjoy the workout! debnu1 - that breakfast sounds super YUMMY! Might have to work…

Cereal doesn't last long for me either, so I can't blame you for looking for alternatives. As long as it works for you and you log it... go for it!!!

smadag1 - well today didn't work out for breakfast for you .... so what are you planning to have tomorrow morning?? monteriob - hello there. new members are welcome. msh0530 - so sorry the scale was mean to you this morning. One day at a time. You know your doing the right things for your body. Screw the scale!

Love it! Looks fantastic on you! Shows off the shoulders and color bones.

j_g4ever - I'm sorry to hear that you've gained weight since eating all of your exercise cals. When you indicate that you've burned 1300 or so cals, are you using a HRM?? Just wondering if the those cals are accurate. Would hate for you to be inadvertently overeating. Otherwise, maybe you could give it another week to…

Great idea... the challenge to stay below calories. I will log everything. Saturday is a success. Time to log the meals for tomorrow. I made butternut squash lasagna tonight. Very filling and rich!

I take spin classes several times a week. I document it as bicycling, vigorous effort. I'm a short person and near a healthy weight... I only burn 320 - 340 cals in an hour class. I think taller folks burn slightly more. But I agree with the other post, depends on how hard you work.

It bothers my tail bone some too... so I bought a cushion seat cover to put over the cycling bike seats. It helps so much. I am not sore at all today - well not my tail bone anyway :bigsmile: Happy Friday Blues!! :drinker:

Happy Friday Blues! Sounds like everyone is doing very well this week. High Five to us!! almomay - spin classes are fun... and yes you do sweat A LOT usually. Really works my legs. I enjoy group classes because no matter what, I will never give up - I won't give up in front of an instructor and a group of people. NO way!…

Hey Blues!!! I rocked it at the gym tonight. I took a Super Spin class - 2 hours long!!! Not gonna lie, there were moments I thought I might die, but I got a second wind near the end and killed it!! I felt great after the class. Burned 838 cals too!!!! smadag1 - I always find it really hard to control my eating when I feel…

Great job Chrissy!

Successful step class yesterday. Today is a spin class. Keep on moving blues!

Get 'em Girl!!! I'm with you. This will be a successful week for sure!!

msh0530 - tortilla pie looks fantastic!! I will have to try that... first, I'll have to buy a pie plate to bake it in! j_g4ever - I have no clue how you stay up so late!! You remind me of my husband. Goes to bed at 12 - 1 am, wakes up at 6:30 am. I am one of those weird people that go to bed between 9 - 10 am every night…

hehe.... I'm first to reply! Go Blues!!! Off to a great start this week. Just got back from a boxing class. Already have my food planned for tomorrow.

debnu1 - I can't blame you for the food binge before the start of a BL challenge. I'd probably do the same. But we both know that it doesn't help in the long run. Plus, like you mentioned, you feel better when you eat healthier. Regardless, I hope the weigh in goes smoothly and I will be glad to have you back on the health…

Hey Blues! I am back from an extended weekend away. I enjoyed the food while I was away but I am back with all the motivation of before. I've already scheduled workouts for every week day this week. I have my food planned out for today. I will work this one day at a time.

smadag1 - what a yucky day!! Stay strong girlie. Don't make it any worse on yourself by eating all that candy. You'll feel even worse!!

almomay - great job with the early extra long workout!! High Five! Headed to the gym after work for a spin class. Go Blues!

Wow! Great job. Your are certainly right, the scale doesn't always tell the truth about your health. Thanks for reminding me of that. I'll get my tape measure out to take some measurements tomorrow AM.

Yes that was a 60 mins class. I work my tail off in spin classes and only burn about 330 cals... so 456 was a lot for me.

sanifrey - Love the B2B challenge. I've been doing pretty well with the basics this week - logged everything, exercised, drank lots of water. I'll do my best this weekend. debnu1 - neat a BL challenge locally!! I wish you luck and feel free to share any knowledge, tips, etc with us!! chrissyh - I once tried to run on an…

Yup Rome for an extended weekend. The joy of living in Europe is that Rome is only 2.5 hours away :bigsmile: One of my bucket list items is to eat pizza in Italy where pizza came from. We are pretty excited... I've never been to Italy.

chrissyh - LOVE the pictures of your doggy!! What a cutie pie!! Headed to the gym soon for a step class. Another successful eating day. One day at a time. I'm going to weigh myself on Friday morning early. My husband and I are leaving Friday morning for a weekend in Rome, Italy. I am excited but nervous about all the…

Just got back from the gym. This is our week Blues! Kickin @$$ and takin names!!!
