Team West/CA 2: This is my first challenge so I'm kinda out of the loop. Did I already miss a weigh-in? Has anyone been in contact with our captain? --Where should I post goals and weigh-ins, and by what time and day? Do we have a private team message board? --Chocolate challenge: How do we track the chocolate we eat (or…

If team CA 2 was copying and pasting teammate names, lovetoberne is actually lovetobeme. Looks similar...

LOL so true! It makes me so sad that people don't like fish! Soooo yummy-- if it's cooked right! BTW, you look like Elliot Stabler from Law and Order SVU. lolol

Great idea! I forgot about mahi mahi! Awesome fish, grilled or baked or fried. Zataran's has a black bean and rice mix too and it would go really well with that.

Salmon-- I disagree that whitefish is the least "fishy". To me, it smells the most. I don't really like it. Salmon, if bought fresh, can be the consistency of chicken (like tuna but less pungent), and has barely a smell. I got a side of salmon from costco and it came skinless (less annoying mess). I cook them in a pan on…

Salt, water retention... I would also make sure you're weighing at the same time of day, as weight can fluctuate throughout the day. Be sure to drink lots of water and get lots of rest. Get well soon!

For me it depends on my shoes. Most of the time I wear nike flip flops (celso thong) on my elliptical and my feet/toes don't get tingly or numb. An added benefit is that I can rinse them off afterwards if they get gross, and that my feet don't sweat. Other shoes sometimes work for me but others I get numb within minutes. I…

Agreed! I tend to get much more tired and winded on my elliptical if I have a head cold. Take it easy!

Absolutely! Especially if you really increased your amount of exercise. However, if it is annoying or uneasy for you not to have a period, you should go see a doctor and make sure it's not something else.

This happened to me too, except I didn't go to the doctor.

I also suggest cooking dinner for two. Keep the second half for the next day's lunch. Frozen meals aren't all that bad, as long as you switch it up and try different ones. :)

Let's do this! First challenge, I'm in. :D I like the idea of doing it in groups.

I own a Horizon Fitness EX-57 Elliptical Trainer, purchased for $500 on Amazon (the price has gone up $50). I like this one because the stride length isn't too short (a problem I'd been running across while shopping). I use it every other day or so (since March of last year), and it works fine for me. I don't know how…

I've had asthma since I was 4 and discovered singulair when I got into junior high. It's a life-saver for me that allows me to do activities like running and soccer, but I've heard from at least one other person that it didn't work for them. When I'm taking Singulair I don't need albuterol, except when I get SICK or run…

I help people with plantar fasciitis almost daily (shoe business) and from what they tell me, a hefty full-length insole is a must. Most shoes are lacking in cushion in the heel (on the bottom/sole and also supporting the outer area of the heel), and that can cause soreness after workouts or standing for long periods of…

My headphones are earbuds that go into your ear (not like ipod ones I've never liked that style). I have "Sony Stereo Headphones" that also happen to block out sound. I used them on an airplane and loved how they canceled outside noise. They stay in my ear when I run on my elliptical. The ones I have also have different…

I love this! Sometimes I mix my whole ipod with my workout mix, and it does help keep you on your toes. I turn up resistance on slow songs and down and fast ones. :)

A few things: --If you know you can't help but eat the cookie, why are they anywhere near you? This goes for other crappy food in your house. If you're stuck eating crap, you will eat crap. If you have fresh berries, fruits, veggies, even microwave meals, you will eat them. Get yummy, healthy snacks, and you won't be…

I went out to dinner tonight at our local brewery, and here's what I did: Without really meaning to, I had a protein-rich but calorie-light breakfast and lunch. (A protein bar, a light bottled coffee, a smartones meal, a light yoplait yogurt, water). I also walked a bit extra at work, and wore my toning shoes-- whether or…

OOOh, I've always liked this one. :)
