waters in calories logged (and under) challenge completed 1.5 miles towards 7 miles pledged ( I can make this 10 if you need more miles pledged) Recipe below. I have not made it myself yet, but my friend did and brought into work, it was delcious! Ingredients ■2 cloves Garlic, Minced ■1/2 whole Red Onion, Diced ■1 whole…

okay, I'll get a recipe in tonight. just finished 1.5 mile hike....3/4 mile hike up Blue Hill, climbed the obersrevatory, then 3/4 mile back down!

squat kicks were awesome! Felt it in quads and backside, plus caused an aerobic workout! As long as my knees don't kill me tomorrow, they will stay in my regular routine. I also did 30 up and downs!

does hiking count? About to hike in Blue Hills with kids up to the observatory. Plan to hike at least 2x more this week and put the treadmill in front of the tv. So, to be conservative to be sure I meet the goals, I pledge at least 7 miles this week, but will try to do 10-14, especially if hiking counts..

Week 2. Weigh in 181 (down 1.6) I am in Beast Mode I feel very bloated and moody - and my personal challenge this week is to take the negative energy that is beginning to surround me as it aways does this monthly time, and use it to find my inner beast in the gym, and not allow it to tur me become a grumpy, lazy eating…

under calories today and finished 10 waters. Will weigh in tomorrow mornng.

Sorry Team T2W, I did not complete the challenge, did not dirnk enough water and ate way too much yesterday. I am just going to forget it happened and move forward. Going to the gym today and already on 2d water.....Hopefully the work I did all week will show on the scale tomorrow and not my day of chaos. I am also going…

sorry, over calories today :-( But water in and push ups done. And some good news. MD took x-ray, and there is still evidence of bone growth, but it is much more solid than a few weeks ago, so I got the go-ahead to resume all exercise activity gradually without restriction, and can begin running again in 3 weeks!!! Yay!

water - yes under calories - yes 40 up & downs yes

Here is the video for today's challenge in case anyone needs it again (like I did!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPU2EpW5nT0&feature=related

crunches - check water - check calories - check

Back from my night w/co-workers and I stayed under calories! Did 30 mins weights/leg lifts this morning AND a mile walk a lunch Drank about 100 oz of water today (not kidding - I have 20oz bottle I filled 4 x today, then had several cups water at the party!

I did 100 Jacks, drank 10 glasses of water and under calorie goal. Plus got in a 30 minute walk at lunch!

Vivianleemit - try using a water bottle with a straw, and add some lemon juice or a drop or two of fruit juice. I think ou will be surprised at how many times you will need to fill your bott by just sipping during the day. Or, time your water like medication. one glass in the morning, one with each meal, one before bed....

new start weight aug 1 182.6 new goal weight for end of month 172.6 at least 30 mins exercise day PLUS fitness challenge. I'm ready to kick the crap out of August!

Well, my scale to be broken. New batteries didn't work. I'l pick one up today and will submit weight in first thing in morning. Or you can use my data from a few days ago.

excited to start!!! got on the scale this morning and apparently I weigh nothing! have to go to get more batteries, so not eating or drinking anything until after 9 so I can start with an accurate reading. Tomorrow is official start date correct? Woohoo, Let's go Thin to Win!!!! I don't think I added everyone as friends…

So pumped up for this! I have a few questions Day 1 Exercise Challenge - 100 Jumping Jacks*(see below) =Can I do a low impact version? I cannot jump on my leg yet. (1 arm 1 leg/ swtch sides, fast enough ot get to aerobic state) Day 2 Exercise Challenge – Walk, Run or Jog 1 Mile (extra) - I can do this! Day 3 Exercise…

hey vivianleemit - I work at Harvard (what are you doing over there!) Only kidding. Let us know when you are back!

Love it, thanks!!

Very familiar with the lake, I lived next to it for a few years when I first moved from home! I am south shore now, but could do a walk some weekend. I'll end you a message on your page so we can plan a date!

Nice! I am originally from just north of boston, but now down by foxboro (Gillette Stadium 3 miles away!)

Hey Triciawebb, Saw you were from Boston. I work in Cambridge, MA...and I believe there is another Cambridge person on our team as well - vivianleeMIT. Anyone else in the Boston or surrounding area? Just curious to see how many of us there ah :-) -Andrea

Hi everyone, I'm Andrea, mom to a daughter who is a senior in HS, and a 5th grade daughter. I lost 30 lbs before joining, but recently hit a wall because I got a stress break (most likely due to switching from indoor soft track to hard pavement) and I redeveloped some bad habits. Cast is off and the challenge will be a…

I want to join! I am just out of a cast for a stress fracture in my leg, so running challenges might be rough, but I am sure I can think of some workaround to equal the challenge. Please add me to a team -- I will work hard and make you proud!

Welcome! Feel free to add me as your friend!

Walking to the wrong spot where the water cooler used to be (they moved it two years ago, I still haven't been able to rewire for that change!) Pacing in front of the bathroom at my work that is ALWAY occupied, during the 20 visits daily that I make after making the detoured trip to the water cooler many time.... Running…

Thank you, I'll give it a try. And thanks for the idea of roasted peppers! I put that in my hummus receipe and loved it.

I always wanted to try quinoa, where do you find that in the grocery store?
