Hey everyone, sorry I've been slacking! Amy - I'm so sorry to hear about your father, my thoughts are with you and your family <3 I hope you get back on track to where you want to be soon! Beeps - Don't focus on the numbers (yes, a while back I know, but still wanted to address that!) You look AMAZING and that's what…

Happy Monday! Beeps - I had chinese this weekend too! Fortunately it was late so I didn't have much of an appetite for it! However, now I'm left using the leftovers!! Small portions it is!! Abigail - Good job on staying on track!! And that's awesome only having 1 glass of wine! I hope your weekend went well too! Ashley -…

Happy Monday! Well this weekend was eventful!! My cousin went into labor Friday night which is 8 weeks early! We had no clue what was going on for a while, they were trying to stop the contractions, which they did for 24 hours, but her little baby decided she wanted out! My niece, goddaughter, was born yesterday morning at…

Lamb - I'm glad you saw that just getting fit can make a difference instead of losing weight!! I'm sure you look just as good as those other girls you're talking about! Ris - Great job on working out while you had company!! That's awesome :) And yeah, I'm totally doing it again next year! Beeps - At least you have a plan,…

Good Morning! Beeps - you look fantastic!!! I'm glad you didn't have too much scale shock, you did great :) Congrats! Amy - Really? for skinny-fat they say to workout less and lower cals? I'm surprised!! Worth a shot though, let us know how it goes! Ram - I hope your weekend went well!! Ris - I hope you're feeling better…

I did the 4 mile run! Woo!! It wasn't the fastest.. 40 minutes to complete it, but I didn't stop the whole time :) As for today I've decided to fast until as late as possible and then have my smoothie. I will end up being 337 calories over my daily allowance, but so far I've made up for it this week, so I'll be pretty even…

Oh yeah! also, when you all count your calories for the Star challenge do you subtract your exercise calories from your food total? or do you count the calories eaten?? I want to do this right and I'm just wondering what is the "correct" way to do this!

Oof.. I just prelogged my dinner for tomorrow and that alone is almost 1500 calories!! I guess I need to have very low cals for the first part of the day!! should I just eat moderately (still have breakfast smoothie [180-280 cals depending how how bf makes it] and a salad for lunch) or should I try to IF and just have my…

Happy Hump Day! I hope all of your weeks are flying by! Ram - I hope you made out okay at the gym last night! I've done that before at Jazzercize... ouch! Too much jumping for no sports bra!! Beeps - Good job logging your binge!! Great goals too! Abi - I feel your pain!! Nice goals :) Amy - Hope you had fun at the concert!…

Beeps - Don't forget to add my Gold!! For the other 2 weeks I'd say I was at most a Bronze, but I didn't log since I was on vacation!

Hi All!! Amy - That's not too bad!! I get those binge days every now and then, but I bet your metabolism is just revved up after lifting!! Good job logging the binge though! Beeps - Don't go to the gym too soon! you don't want to hurt your eyes after surgery!! That's great that you figured out how to make your calories…

That was a great post Beeps! thanks!! I've been good so far this week, not staying as far under my goals as I would like though.. I need to save some calories for this weekend! This will definitely be a tough weekend for me.. Friday is my cousin's baby shower and she's sleeping over with me that night so we can have…

Hey ladies!! I'm back from vaca and back into the star challenge!! I will be going in for 9500 again.. not sure what my total was last time, too much crazy food in Disney :) Glad to see everyone is doing well!! Very happy that your surgery went well Beeps!!

Thanks for rolling us over Beeps!! These next 2 weeks will be difficult for me with vacation, but I'll put it here too. 9,500 cals/week is my goal!! Luckily there will be a lot of walking going on! I think I might bring my pedometer just to see how much!

Good Morning all! The first 2 weeks for me might not all be logged, however, I will still try to remember to long while on vacation! Put me down for 9500 cals/week! Doing a mini cleanse before vacation! This is a loose variation of the 7 day one I did last month I will do: Fruit Day (cheating with a salad for dinner,…

This sounds like a good challenge! I like the idea of weekly allowances SO much better than daily, I tend to eat less on weekdays and more on weekends, especially with all the cook outs. What are your favorite calculators to determine TDEE?? There are so many online!

Hey ladies! Sorry for being so flaky again!! Summer makes it so hard to keep up with you all!! Beeps - Holy moly you look fantastic!!! Congrats!! Amy - Love the motivation :) I'm with you!! Chloe - So awesome you're still working out at 30 weeks! I know so many people who give up as soon as they get pregnant!! You're going…

Hi everyone, I haven't caught up to everyone, work is slammed right now! I did take the progress from saturday, but I will have to send it another time, too many projects on my desk to stop and write longer!! Hope everyone is having a great week!!

I will try to remember!! If you can, remind me next friday!! This coming week will be a rather unhealthy one for me though.. Restaurant week one night and Wine Night on Thursday!! Hopefully I'll keep myself under control though :)

KC - Good luck on your race!!! I'M DONE I'M DONE!! Eating an egg sandwich as we speak :P I love my results, absolutely positively love them! I know they won't last once I start drinking wine and eating carbs, but I'll work to keep most of it off at least. Ok, so here are my results: Weight Start - 122.3 (or 117.3 depending…

Better - Wow you look fantastic in that pic!!! As for the weight, do what you think is best. Yes it might be for only 3 months, but if having the ab definition makes you feel better, then get to that point again! You need to feel your best while still enjoying life, so whichever works for you, just do it! Beeps - Congrats…

Chloe - Great job keeping up with everything!! You're fit, so I'm sure you'll be fine :) Kate - Good luck with your move!! I hope you enjoy North Carolina, it sounds fun! KC - The heat has been unbearable here too :-/ I lost a ton of motivation with it and I didn't want to even leave the house!! Hope you get back into it…

I'm back again! Sorry, was on vacation last week! You guys look like you're doing great!! Too much to respond to, but the push up talk made me want to do some! I have to wait a while to do those though. For me, I'm on a little bit of a set back with exercise.. no lifting for me for a little while. At the beginning of…

Ashely - I feel like my body can get used to a higher calorie diet even after a weekend, it makes Mondays very unpleasant! haha! I've heard of eating more to lose, but the concept really scares me! Someday maybe I'll try it, not yet though :) I took a very long break from logging, I ended up gaining, but that is my own…

Hey ladies! Loving the baby bumps!! My cousin is pregnant and I can't wait til she has one going! She has a tiny one, but I'm expecting it to really pop soon, she's about 4 months along, and she finds out if it's a boy or girl next week! I can't wait to find out since I'm going to be the baby's godmother! :) I admire those…

I am a huge fan of spaghetti squash! To cook it I usually cut it in half (or have my bf do it if I can't get the knife through), scoop out the seeds, put it in a casserole dish face up with a little water in the dish, cover it with plastic wrap and microwave for 8-10 minutes & shred! My absolute FAVORITE dish is a…

Hi all! Looks like everyone is keeping busy! Ashley - So fun that you're going to Bonnaroo!! A few of my friends are going again this year! I hope you figure out your child care situation! Whenever it's time for me to figure that out I have it set.. my aunt owns a great home daycare and then my mom and my bf's mom are baby…

You ladies all are looking amazing! Beeps - Wow on your transformation!! You look incredible!!! You should be very proud of yourself :) Ris - Everything is well! I hope you are doing well too! Love your new pic :) Sorry I was gone for so long! I bought a house in November, so that's been my focus, just getting settled in,…

Just dropping in to say hi!! I haven't read anything to catch up with you gals, but I miss you!! Hopefully I can get back into regularly checking in!

@lmick - snow white :)
