Haha oops. :D

Week 5's challenge (all teams) is here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/202888-7-week-challenge-week-5-challenge-details-weigh-ins?page=1#posts-2679704

Alright! :D

I'm sure either way is fine. I chose to log everything before I sleep as the same day. Sometimes that means I have to go back a day if it's after midnight to log it correctly. I often don't go to sleep until the early morning hours, so it makes sense for me to just log them in the same day. I would hate to get up to log…

This week was a stressful one, and it showed in my .4 lb gain. :( I thought I'd lost several lbs earlier this week, but I think it was a glitch, so I'm disregarding it. I wasn't able to attend any classes. Week 3 Goal: 176 Week 3 Start: 178.6 Week 3 Weigh-in: 179 Week 3 Challenge: No classes attended Week 4 Goal: 178

I don't have a gym membership, and the drop-in rate is high... I hope you all have fun in your classes! :D

I've noticed that when I have my hair up all day (like on days I exercise), hair comes out when I take my hairtie out or take a shower at the end of the day. On days when I have my hair down, the hair I shed comes out throughout the day so I don't notice it as much (it's not coming out all at once). At first when I wasn't…

BUMPerooni!

I forgot to mention. I'm training to increase my hiking stamina, and if you have a backpack, try loading it with bottles of water (a few liters). When I'm hiking for research, I have to carry 3-4 liters of water and it gets my heart going! Put on the backpack while you workout, it makes you work harder. :)

Jump-roping is a realllly good workout. They have "speed-ropes" at Ross right now for $4.99. :) Step-ups on a stool or a high stair are good too, go as fast as you can in a set amount of time. Right foot up, left foot up, right foot down, left foot down, repeat. Easy. I know you're looking for cardio, but strentgh is…

It doesn't look like your food diary is public, and that would be helpful... Most fruits and juices have lots of sugars. I wouldn't worry too much about it, but I also wouldn't chug daily milkshakes or anything. If you stay under or at your calorie goal you should be fine, but if you're eating mostly fruit, add some…

Week 3 Goal: 179 Week 3 Weigh-In: 178.6 Week 3 Challenge: 2.96 mi (Elliptical) Week 4 Goal: 176 Someday I will obtain a method for measuring my walking/running distance when I'm not on my elliptical. :) Everyone did so well throughout this week! Good job! :)

Just a head's up, I've been finding Champion, New Balance, Nike, Reebok, Moving Comfort and other brands at Ross! Check there first! Some of the ones I've seen are over $25 online and were only $7 at Ross! I found them in the sportswear section, not the bra n undie section, though they did have like 2 sports bras in that…

Great idea! :)

Goal: 179.5 Actual: 181 (Didn't make it) Challenge: 1733 cals burned Next Sat (Week 3) Goal: 179

Thanks you guys! I think I'm going to try poppin em in the oven. That's a new idea for me!

I think you need to lighten up, and stop name calling and insulting people. Wow.

Me too.

Make tea at night before bed! It's a good way to wind down, get more water for the day, and there are MANY different flavors to choose from to mix things up. It helps keep you full instead of snacking on random stuff.

CW: 181.9 Sat Goal: 179.5 (2.4 lb loss) Excited about the 700 cal challenge! Good motivation! And thank you for clarifying that it's workout cals not deficit cals. :D Hopefully I start feeling better later this week, I've been really sick the past week.

*TEAM WEST/CA 2* Week 1 Goal: 182 Saturday weigh-in: 181.9 Chocolate challenge: 2 hershey kisses by mistake (3 in a serving, so .67 of a serving). Next Sat goal: 179.5 Everyone who's apologizing for eating chocolate/not losing-- don't worry, you'll make it up for us in the next few weekly challenges! :D Good job everyone!

Official Saturday weigh-in (I do it at night n don't wanna post late): 181.9 (Beat my goal by 0.1 lb!!) Yayyy Next Sat goal: 179.5

These look yummy! So they can be stored in the freezer too? Or just to set them? Are they the same cheesecakey consistency if you leave them in the freezer for days?

I had 2 hershey kisses at work before remembering I wasn't supposed to. Oops! But 3 are a serving, so I had .67 of a serving...? Other than that I've been good. I think. We decided that chocolate "flavored" things weren't bad, right? My caffeine fix is chocolatey but also light (bottle of light mocha frap). It's definitely…

It's common courtesy to stop for someone in the crosswalk! LOL Or any street corner, there is an implied crosswalk. Pedestrians have the right of way. Yes, somewhat annoying, but not if you're walking. Winco does... I live in CA and most places where I shop I bag my own, in order to make everyone's shopping efficient…

Thanks for clarifying-- I didn't mean to offend anyone. I understand that fasting is recognized and encouraged in religious practice-- I'm not knocking on that, and I'm not saying that fasting for religious purposes is a fad. It just seems like a strange thing to do for dieting. Having had no prior knowledge of this…

I've never heard of this program, but it doesn't sound healthy. I think your body knows the answers... don't make yourself feel weak in order to be healthy/fit/slim. I don't know what your goals are or how long this program goes on, but it doesn't seem like a lifestyle change, it seems like a fad diet that will only make…

Lol you crack me up. Everything in moderation! :D

Healthy fats (put avocado or peanut butter on something) or protein (turkey or chicken on an english muffin). If you're low on calcium, drink a cup of milk or eat some yogurt with granola or berries. Not hungry? Get a cup of [not super sugary] juice or a smoothie (I love Odwalla juice/smoothies-- C Monster, B Monster, or…
