Just to share the final outcome. I had black beans (dried, not canned) over rice. I pressure cooked the beans then added to a pan that had onion, garlic, thyme, cumin, pepper and nu-salt which is a natural salt substitute. And cooked down until the excess water from the beans was near gone. I used the bean water instead of…

lilybug13--chicken, and most meat, has sodium, so no go on the chicken. AjBeans---plenty of thigns dont have sodium... Fruit, Nuts, potatoe, rice, unsalted peanut butter, natural fruit/granola type bars (larabars) all have no sodium... Juice, beans, tons of natural things dont have sodium... I had a potatoe with lunch,…

You lose water weight; alot of fighters do this. You dont actually lose weight, you just shed unneccasary water weight pounds to beable to make weight, like a fighter would have to. As soon as you drink water again youll gain the weight right back

I lost the main forum link (had to factory reset my phone), can someone send it to me so I can find this weeks challenge? Thanx. Oh and... final weigh in 255... last weigh in was 257 but I didn't lose any weight, just trying to get back to the 254 I was at before (walking makes me gain water weight). 18+ miles, 160…

Fri: 4.1miles, 40airplanes Total: 15miles, 160 airplanes. No more walking for me, doing that amount already beyond pushed my physical ability..tomorrow im doing a circuit training workout, sunday, monday& tues have to be rest days. I really hate the airplanes, but I will do 120 more so that I have done all required.

Monday: n/a tues: 3.6miles 40airplanes wed: 3.7miles thurs: 3.6miles 80airplanes Im going off what my gps says, in a small town with limited cell service. The walk on tues was exact same as wed, yet one was longer...? And today I jogged ALOT, it took me exact same time as other two walks, yet it was shorter...i think I…

Monday: Couldnt find the new challenge post Tuesday: 3.6miles fast walking with a couple small bursts of jogging. 40 airplanes Wednesday: 3.7miles fast walking with longer bursts of jogging. 40 airplanes. I also did walking in the store, and walking around my boyfriends property, i wish i could tell how far those amounts…

I do this as well; and with cleaning as well because the calorie burn for cleaning seems high as well, so i just enter in half the time (if i did something for 4 hours, i just enter two).I dont do this with everything, only things that i really feel like "i did a good job, but not THAT good".

I did 3.6miles this morning; as fast as i could walk (between 3.5mph and 4.0mph) with occasional bursts of jogging. I have a hip disability so doing this amount is HUGE for me (6months ago walking a block was too much for me & my hip); im having alot of soreness, but not as bad as i thought. Im going to try to do as much…

Height: 5'10" Age: 26 Starting Weight: 313.5 Challenge Start Weight: 270 NEW Challenge Starting Weight: I havent read main forum yet, bit confused as to why we have new thread or so many new people (seeing as we are only suppose to have 15 people per team; seems the count is over 20??). new starting weight? as of when? Im…

I've done 500punches with the 6.6lb weight between today and yesterday and 200bicycles as well. I really needed this type of workout, I was beginning to notice excess skin on stomach and arms and really need ab and arm excercises. I use to beable to lift people prior to my car wreck but have lost most of my muscle in arms…

when i do lots of cardio type stuff i go up pounds because your body pulls in water to heal itself (when you work out u break cells and such and u need to heal).. i always go up weight after excercising... just ignore the scale for awhile would be your best bet. and to get more calories, can you do something like add juice…

Just focusing on food

Im almost done with a similiar competition but Im in 3rd place, theres another girl in second place, and the first place is a guy BUT the 2nd place girl is less than a pound from overtaking him; so guys losing faster isnt always true and doesnt mean your automatically out.. but... drink as much water as you can.. your…

Oh and im also doing jillian michaels punches...don't know if that's common practice or not, but im standing in a certain stance so that I incorporate abs and legs into them, not just arms :-) And im not using any unique weight. Just 6.6lb dumbbells. If the punches become too much with that big of weights, ill switch to…

im gunna do the jillian michaels bicycles and when I bring each leg up im crossing the opposite arm over and touching my elbow to my knee, so its like im doin a crunch but twisted to the side..for an extra ab workout. I think just the propping up on elbows in the description messed me up..I thought well, maybe what she's…

Im confused about the leg excercise..bicycles r when u lay on ur back and move ur legs back and forth, but in the description it talks about propping up on elbows, so then I got confused. I haven't yet started the excercises, but ill get caught up, no problem..just been busy. Oh and im sure brokenglass is still in…

Thanks guys.

only if the tea/coffee is decaf, not caffeinated. it will dehydrate your water if you dont. i drink half of my body weight in water a day (16 cups), but if i work out, its hot out, i have excess sodium, or drink caffeine, i have to drink extra, so im usually around 20cups a day. flavor water with fruit (pineapple, orange,…

im still a ways away; but i will be there by the end of the year.. jen is so right, i think for me, seeing 100, will be like...man...i still have another 50 to go. the bigger goals for me are shortly after losing 100lbs (or weighing 213.5). Like at 209lbs I will no longer be obese; i will just be overweight. or at 198lbs i…

Ive been keeping up with the team via statuses vs in the forum (im a phone user, its hard to go back and forth between this forum and my main page, so i just stay on my main page and rarely go anywhere else); people have been busier this week as well as gone (vacations and what not), etc. ive been dreadfully sick for 2.5…

Lowercase the img's instead of capital letters and that should work. Can't see the pic cuz im a phone user and can't click on links or copy/paste, but congrats on ur 50!

Am I missin somethin? Y is it 0/16points, im assuming 4pnts a day for 5days, that's 20points. Well minus my stupidity, I did all 6 days (24points? Or is it 16? Lol), with under everything, EXCEPT thursday where I had to take tums and it put me over carbs. That is the only time I was over anything, medicine sucks!! I wish…

Remember your excercise calories u burn play a role here...if u burn calories, u need to eat more, or else you'll continue to lose. U can't just look at calories uve ate..it says u under cuz u prob burned those 1000calories off

Eat lower calories throughout the day...not eat less, but just low cal... like have a salad for lunch instead of a sandwich and fruits/veggies as snacks instead of nuts, etc. When I get pizza, I do thin crust chicken garlic with extra veggies (such as adding spinach and mushrooms if they aren't on there, etc)..that way I…

Well, im still 256lbs, so im 85lbs overweight still, so I haven't been treated any differently by men so far, but im getting really irritated by ppl around me saying how great I look, and how proud they are of me and yadda yadda. Yea I've went from 325 at one point down to what I am now, I know, why u gotta remind me…

I've been doin great on challenge...but last night I got real sick and had to take tums and it made me go over carbs ;-( its my TOM week so I've lost quite a bit of weight...like over 5lbs..

Maybe this is a dumb question, but have u searched database for bosnian bread... it make not be exact but I can generally find something similiar on here...?

Hey Im in oregon, so, hello over there. (right on washington border). I was in a car wreck 4years ago so i have a messed up hip and cant do alot of things for very long; like my friend who wants me to go to the gym and do 45minutes on the elliptical; i can do 10max and then be in pain.. so i know what you mean... i lost…

Im 5'10 inches and have went from 313 to 260, so I still have another 90 to go..u can look at my profile pics.. my main pic was from 3days ago. Theres a couple others from before, etc.
