Happy Birthday!! We are birthday twins! I turned 28 today :flowerforyou:

Sounds delicious Erika! I've dabbled here and there in her website, and have loved everything thus far. I haven't swam to the toilet just yet, although I've already drank 2L...have an ultrasound this morning..and they want my bladder extra full! :indifferent:

Here's a fun question: If you did not know your numerical age, how old would you be based on how you feel? And another one just to get some chit chat going...what is the one or two things~ heck I'll take a list~ that you would like to get accomplished in the remainder of 2011?

Times up! Sorry Ladies but if you have yet to weigh in any loss that you do post will not be used on your teams total! I am missing 6 weigh ins! It's the first week ladies...we can do better!!! I want to send a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to the YELLOW Team...they had every one of their members weigh in! Way to go ladies!! To…

Hello Diamonds! Hope you all are doing wonderfully tonight! It's time to see who will have bragging rights for week 1! Weigh in is now open, and will close at Noon, Sunday PST. If I do not receive your weigh in by cut-off time, I will not be including it for your team! Don't let them down ladies, weigh in on time! The link…

How is everyone's week so far? I'm seriously impressed at how many of you are attacking this mini challenge full force!! Way to go Diamonds! Let's step it up a notch, in addition to walking lets do our best to drink 80oz of water in a day. Dr's recommend at least 64, so let's try for 80! I have yet to assign QOTD's to…

I miss you too Sugz! xoxo

Thanks Kasi for posting that link for everyone! I would hate for anyone to feel out of the loop...if anyone ever feels like that, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me:flowerforyou:

Currently the Diamonds consist only of ladies, but we are more than willing to branch out. :)

Hello Ladies! This is my personal profile, so if I do not reply quickly enough via the DITR page, feel free to contact me here! A little about me, I live in beautiful BC, Canada where we will be getting snow any day now! :sad: I'm 27, happily married, and the mother of a brilliant 7 year old boy :) I am finishing up my…

I have a few things that I enjoy; dancing, The Biggest Loser workout videos (awesome!), and plain old walking (especially when its nice out in the evening and my fam comes with!)

9/13 QOTD: Does anyone have short term or long term athletic goals? If so, what are they? If no, do you plan on setting any? My long term athletic goal for right now is being able to complete c25k and run the full 5k without walking.

I want to be a healthy inspiration for my son. Right now his diet is kept somewhat strict d/t a medical diagnoses. I worry that when he starts to make his own decisions on the food he eats, he may get carried away with all the things he has missed out on. If he sees my husband and I living a healthier lifestyle, he might…

Now to answer my own question! The last new thing I tried would have to be running. I never in a million years thought my body could do it, but it is all mind over matter ladies and I am so very proud of myself!

Hello Diamonds! Starleng, I am very very sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you and yours. ShiningDiamonds, great loss this week!! Keep it up ladies! LittleDiamonds, I'm sure you ladies rocked it this week..you always do!! I know some of your personally from last round so I know what you are capable of!! DITR…

I would have to say the thing that I dislike most about trying to lose weight is the fact that it is so hard. Why can't I just be lazy and skinny at the same time?? With that being said, I also respect the fact that it is hard because I appreciate every pound I am losing now and it's teaching me a new healthy way at life!…

I love this list Sandra!! It's almost everything I would say..but you just said it so much better!

Welcome Keeley and Anita!!!:flowerforyou:

QOTD 9/2/2011: If you had the money to spend, would you get lipo? Yep, already have...TWICE! I had lipo done on my back, butt, hips, abdomen, and chin. I've also endured a tummy tuck as well as a breast reduction w/ lift. The breast reduction w/ lift and lipo I would do all over again! Totally worth it! The tummy tuck…

We have a new Diamond ladies!! Please welcome sistermooooon who will be joining the Blue Team! Go Blue!! Sistermooooon is a returning Diamond, and actually our biggest loser for the whole Round 4 challenge!! I am so happy she is back with us, but watch out ladies...she is stiff competition!!!

Love this question Lisa Marie!!! When I was about 6 and in Grade 1, I remember some Grade 2'ers inviting me to be part of their band. I remember we spent a whole recess sitting outside talking about all our great band ideas (none of us played an instrument of course!). I was in the state of mind though that to be in a band…

Since it is getting late I will ask today's question. This one is a freebie so if you want to answer, GREAT! If not, totally up to you :) This Question was asked by a member last round, it's a doozy!! Do you think you'd want to lose weight if we lived in a society where obesity was generally considered more attractive than…

Great Question Aubrey! I have personally never set up mini goals. I tend to be selfish, and if I want something bad enough I will get it. However I do understand how mini goal rewards are that little extra you can do for yourself! Perhaps I should think of some, maybe then my husband would be more accepting of my splurges…

Sorry this is late! QOTD for Thursday August 25th. What are you most looking forward to when you reach your goal? Whether it be an article of clothing, a sense of accomplishment, a celebratory trip somewhere, etc? Me, I want better chances at a healthy pregnancy as well as being able to grab ANYTHING out of my closet and…

LOVE this site, it has been bookmarked for a while. My all time favorite site though would be skinnytaste.com. Gina has the most delicious low cal recipes!

Hello and welcome to MFP! Currently this team is full, but if you are interested you can copy and paste this link and it will help you get set up to be part of the Diamond Challenge :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/321452-ladies-buddy-up-and-lose-weight-join-the-diamonds-open?hl=diamonds

Not sure I'm completely following you on this one. Are you saying that you tried to add up what is in MFP's database already to get the number your HRM told you? If this is the case there is an option to put in your own exercises. That way you can name them whatever you like as well as log your exact calories that the HRM…

WOW!! Quite the group of STRONG, EDUCATED, and ACCOMPLISHED women!! I am proud to be on this journey with all of you! :flowerforyou: QOTD for Wednesday August 24th...a bit of fluff. Where is everyone from? Me...I'm from BEAUTIFUL British Columbia.

Congratulations! I am just finishing up my Nursing program so my brain is absolute mush right now :ohwell:

Shoot that should read Tuesday, not Wednesday. I've lost a day somewhere!
