Just so I understand, on the fourth day, eat 2x protein for dinner, then maybe on the 8th 2x carbs for lunch, and so on?

1. I chose 140 because that was (approximately) the weight I was last time I was the size I wanted to be. [To answer #3 here as well] my true goal is to be a size 8. To that end, I'm probably going to stop in between 145-150lbs, as I'm in some 8s now, but they don't fit the way they should. My other goal was to monitor…

My first reaction was to say "EXERCISE!" but after I thought about it, it's diet. I was out of town this past weekend and got really off of my normal diet/exercise schedule because of the hectic nature of my trip. I came back home and had so much to catch up on, that I haven't really gotten back to my "norm", though I've…

I'd like to be in, too. My birthday, beach vacation and trip to Italy are all in May. I plan on being smokin hot by then. :) I only have about 15 lbs to lose so 1lb a week is good for me too. Just let me know when we weigh in!

Good luck! You can do it!

That totally annoys me too! LOL. I'm hoping tortilla chips come up with a light version, like Lays Light (AMAZING!).

YAY for this post! I'm a wine drinker too, and I always feel guilty having a glass. When I get really into working out hard, I don't drink as much but sometimes work is stressful and I crave it. Today I ate extremely low calorie (only 845 so far) so I'm going to have a glass to help boost me to 1200. And enjoy the Biggest…

Boullion cubes are chock full of salt...you can usually find low sodium, low fat broth that's only about 15-20 calories per serving size. I imagine that bouillion cubes don't have a lot (if any) of calories, but the sodium alone is probably not the best.

I'm having a great day! We're checking in today, right? I've lost probably a pound or so from last week. I usually take one off day during the week (Friday or Saturday) where I don't count or log calories. I usually try to offset with exercise, but I don't sweat it. It's mainly a mental health day for me so I don't feel…

That was supposed to have been for Christy's comment LOL.

The more the merrier! :drinker: It's not just for May babies, just people who have goals in this time frame.

Not everything is great, but it all works to get me through my sugar cravings: -4 Nilla Wafers (70 cal & super sweet!) -Kiwi -Super sweet gum (i looooove 5!) and water - Yellow apple Good luck!

Tuesdays sound good! We can start next week, and you're right, it's huge motivation knowing that BL is coming on that night!

Are we going to have designated weigh in dates/times?

I DID cry multiple times lol. So I've raised you 2 on the wuss scale lol :tongue:

Becky, I just did this today ironically LOL. I log it under cardiovascular and I have a Polar P6 to tell me about calories burned. I read on another blog on this site that it was intended to burn between 500 and 600 calories per workout. If you don't have a HRM, make sure you log conservatively. Hope this helps!

I totally agree... I do the same thing. But I also happen to love sodium *runs to hide*

Good luck! The same thing happened to me so don't feel like you're alone. Just get back to it, and hopefully you'll lose those 4lbs plus more in no time. My next cheat day is NYE, too, so you have a support buddy if you need one! :drinker:

I've been bad since Thursday, but thank goodness I haven't had any weight gain (crossing fingers for tomorrow)! The plan is to get a good workout in tonight, then back at it tomorrow.

I just finished last Friday (whoooo! go me!!) and it's a great workout. The pain lasted me for only a day or two, then it was a steady increase in muscle tone & endurance. It kicks your butt everyday - but just when you're thinking about throwing something at the screen, you realize you're (usually) pretty close to being…

AND you've already lost 36 lbs so you will do great! Congrats on the loss!

LOL! We had a holiday party Tuesday, Wednesday and tomorrow at my job. I'm trying to look the other way, but when I'm week I just resign myself to the elliptical after work. :grumble: Good luck with your running!

I've always been curvy, but I was always small. I started college as a size 4 and without the 2 hours of exercise/day that high school provided, I gained weight, but it wasn't very much, very fast. The last year in college was so miserable for my roommate and I, we started drinking a bottle (or 2) of wine almost every day.…

Have you tried squeezing in a lunch workout, if it's possible? That way you don't have to do it before or after work.

Hey I'm just curious to know - who's doing crunches and who is doing sit-ups? I thought (trying to make my self feel better LOL) that'd crunches would be easier than sit-ups, so I opted to do the sit-ups. :laugh:

May babies are the best! My birthday is May 4 and I have about 20lbs to lose. I plan on having it done the for the weekend before because I want to be struttin' my stuff on the beach in Miami! :bigsmile: I've lost 10lbs in 5 weeks so hopefully the last 20 will melt off. Game on!

Mine will give me three different weights three times in a row. I typically keep getting on until I like what I see, and then I'm done for the day! :)

I'm in! Hopefully I'll remember to stick with it! I'll do the pretest as soon as I get home.

WHOOOOOOO-HOOOO! Congrats!!!

Am I the only one who thinks that BFBM is incredibly tough? I can't make it through all 7 circuits in one sitting...usually it takes me about an hour to do it. :: picking up dumbbells to get ready to up my game :: :laugh:
