I hope you ladies don't mind me peeking in here, but I had to come check up and see how everyone was doing!!! It's 2 weeks until Thanksgiving... so how far is everyone from their goal?? I have managed to gain too much already this pregnancy :-/ but when the nausea was so strong, only unhealthy, carb-filled foods sounded…

Thank you all so much for your support! I'll keep checking in on you all, if you don't mind, just so I can cheer you on and see your progress! I want this for you all so badly!!

My favorite fruity friends... I never in a million years saw this day coming, but it has... I must leave this challenge... some of you may have seen my status... if not, well, im pregnant! My husband and I are thrilled, but quite shocked! It took us 18 cycles of hard-core trying in order to conceive our son. 2 months ago I…

Good morning! Down .6 pounds this morning. Nothing miraculuos, but still my lowest yet!

Thanks for getting this going, Summer!! I am excited for October 1st (and 31st!) About me.... My name is Ashlee. I live in a small town between Dayton and Springfield, Ohio with my husband of 4 1/2 years, our 18 month old son, Aiden, and our 3 year old Shih-Tzu, Lillee Mae. I am an insurance agent for my father-in-law's…

Ross - maybe this is the change you need in order to kick some weight-loss butt!!! Alright, BLUE BERRIES! This is OUR week! Let's make this happen! Who has a new challenge for this week???

Good morning!!! I just checked out the weigh-in results for today and it looks like we've had some with a good week and other with a not so good week. As for me, I am down exactly 1 pound, but am down to my lowest yet... I am now 1.2 pounds away from hitting 150 even. So my goal this week is to bust through 150 into the…

Okay my fruity gals... tomorrow is weigh-in day! I know we all have been a bit down and struggling these past couple of weeks. But tomorrow is weigh-in and a fresh start to our next week of weight loss! So let's make tonight a great night and every day from here on out, we all need to be 100% committed to losing these 20…

How can weigh-in day be tomorrow already??? Wow.... Okay, so I feel like I've had a good week, but am definitely still struggling with these same 3-4 pounds :grumble: Not too pleased... I hope tomorrow I at least show a loss! Even though it'll be the same pounds I've been losing for 2 months now! In an effort to break…

I threw my son a Dr. Seuss birthday party for his first. I covered all the tables in bright table cloths, had 2 Dr. Seuss books at each table with Sharpies for people to write him messages in them instead of having a guest book. All of the food was created around things from the books... we had Mini Ham Salad Sandwiches…

Time is flying... I feel like I have done great this week and I did good this weekend, but I cannot seem to shake off these last couple of pounds to get into the 140s! I have never in my life been so irritated with anything! I am truly at a loss as to what to do to make it happen......

That's terrible!!!!! I hope you're better now! :flowerforyou:

dreilingda - I, too, find that deep-breathing helps relieve them. I would really like to just not have them, though. Lol. Any other thoughts?

Hmm... so how do you know what that balance should be? Just figure it out through trial and error? Or has someone somewhere figured this out for us? :tongue:

WAY TO GO APPLES!!!! Welcome to the challenge sexyjaye! Alright BLUE BERRIES, this is OUR week to show all those other fruits what we're made of!!!!!!!! We're more than just mushy blue berries! We're lean mean fighting machines! Let's DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did everyone do on the weekend challenge????? I was pretty…

WAY TO GO GOYA!!!!!!!!!!

This is GREAT!!! I hit a plateau once (before my current one) and I am convinced that the way I got off of it was by upping my water from 8 glasses to 12. Now I'm at 16 per day. The easiest way to get all that water in is to keep a large jug with you all day. Mine holds 6 glasses and I don't let myself eat lunch until it's…

Good morning my fruity ladies! I just took a look at the weigh-ins so far today and everyone is doing well! It seems to me like we ALL have been struggling in the same areas... weekends, logging EVERYTHING, and exercising. So let's really hit it hard this week so EVERYONE can have an awesome loss! NO EXCUSES! Got it??…

Oooooh that's exciting about the Paris marathon!! How cool!!! My boss keeps trying to convince me to run a marathon. I laugh every time! hahahahahaha! So funny!!!!!!!!!!! 5ks are enough for me... 3 miles and I'm done! How is everyone feeling about weigh-in tomorrow? I've had a great week, but am still struggling to get…

Oooh I like that challenge! I'm totally in! My biggest struggle is definitely weekends!! We are always busy on weekends and foot becomes whatever is quick and easy, which is typically not good! So I will definitely partake in this challenge... maybe we should make it a weekly weekend challenge throughout our whole 14…

We got your back! My TOM was last week and I had a gain, so this week I am hitting it hard! Hoping to see a 2+ pound loss! OH... and don't count yourself out just because of TOM... use it as motivation to work even harder, so you can see a loss on top of TOM being here! Then once he's gone, your loss will be huge!

I pack every day. You can look at my food diary for what I eat during the week. This week has been pretty boring... but what I like to do is make extra dinner and bring it as leftovers for lunch. Some of my favorite easy lunchs are 1/2 a can of tuna with 1 tablespoon light miracle whip, 1 teaspoon of mustard and relish and…

First of all, Ross, you're gorgeous! And I KNOW you will meet your goal! You're doing great!! CONGRATS on all the weight loss ladies! Way to rock it out this week! I know it was a tough week with the holiday and all, which aparently caused me to gain 1.6 pounds :mad: BUT, I am using it as motivation to kick more butt this…

I am sooooooooooooooooooo nervous for tomorrow's weigh-in. This Labor Day Weekend really did me BAD! :mad: We shall see what tomorrow holds..........

Okay, Rio, you must have known how much I absolutely HATE my stomach! So, thanks ;-) But seriously, I will take pics just because I do want to see my progress.

NOOOO We can't lose any more people :-( So sad!!! I would say if those other 2 don't come back to ask some of the people who tried to join too late on the original thread if they would like to join us. As for being active every day.... I try, but definitely need to do better. I think I do it about 5 days a week... thanks…

First of all, WELCOME HANNA!! Second, ladies ladies ladies! Do not get discouraged! Use all that anger over the scale to burn some calories and motivate yourself!!! We all need to kick it into overdrive this week! What's a good challenge to get us moving and losing?? Someone think of something good!

cathcakey - OUCH!!! Rest up so you can get back at it soon! I'm starting to see some weigh-in results! It really looks like everyone did well for the most part! Keep up the great work!!! As for no carbs after 5 unless you workout at night... I've been trying to just watch my carbs after 5, since I go running at night. So…

Thank you so much for this!!! I have 2 large zucchinis in my fridge from my dad's garden and I wasn't sure what to do with them!!
