  • Nope, scouts honor. Just make note of your current weight this week. It's based on percentage, so shy peeps don't have to give their actual weight. I have to say I'm really happy with the response so far. I didn't think anyone would be interested. I hope we can all have fun with this and feed on each other's success.…
  • karryann above are some details about the challenge. spottedkathy weigh in is whatever day of the week you prefer. It's a pretty easy going challenge.
  • Lol, I think we're on the same wavelength with Alessi. I kept my comments PG too. He was probably smoking the same stuff Dungey was some race ago when he was goon riding crashed into Poto. Indianapolis races were messed up! My picks were waaaaaay off. I thought Tickle's legs were gonna get ripped off! So scary. What do you…
  • Don't forget to make note of your weight this week! :-)
  • It would be like the challenge that was on here last year. I'd like it to run until Memorial Day. Anyone would be welcome to join the challenge at any time. The challenge would be based on a % of weight lost each week. Here's the formula: Formula for figuring % 1. starting weight - current weight 2. divide weight lost by…
  • Pardon my one grammatical/spelling/phonetic error. I had a childhood friend who was murdered this week. Yes, I did read through a large portion of the citations and medical abstracts/summaries of the research. I work in medical communications. Yes, the ones I randomly read through are reputable.
  • Just because some "big wigs" were bad people doesn't mean the "pee-on" author of the article is. The article is very well researched, using citations from many reputable and highly professional medical journals where scientific medical research is published. You're right that the website does not lend credence to the…
  • Hi Jeshey, Can't tell ya what my picks are for the week yet. :-D I'm part of a fantasy league on promotofan.com. Might win $100,000 if I get them all right. (yeah, right.) Talk about lack of consistency this year with riders. Making my picks has been really hard. I'm bummed Reed's out too. It was nice to see an "old" rider…
  • I like to weigh 1st thing in the morning everyday, but my official weigh-in's are Friday morning. My weight doesn't fluctuate enough to be frustrating because I really stick to my guns on diet and exercise. If I go up a bit I can usually correlate it to something I've ate or did by reviewing my diary entries. It's a…
  • I looooooove using my crockpot! Did you get the slow cooker liners? They make clean up super fast and easy. These two are my favorite because they're super easy and have leftovers:: Pot Roast with 2 variations:: Frozen beef roast 2lb-4lbs 2-3 cups beef broth 1 bottle of Guinness or similar beer (12oz) 1 packet of Lipton's…
  • Hi, I'm two weeks into P90 and working my way into P90x. So far I've been liking it and have been getting good results. Would love more beach body routine friends.
  • 1st new COPO at Barret Jackson 2 years ago. Wish I owned it! You look like a truck guy. Dodge Ram, Hemi, lift kit, and super swampers?
  • Checked it. They're using the recommended formula, so that's good. If you've increased your workout habits at all such as doing it more often or they're more intense, you may have some temporary water retention. Also, if you've been doing the same workout routine for months, it may be time to switch it up. You may not be…
  • Do you know what formula your calculator is using for TDEE? Some are less accurate than others.
  • I really like yoga/dance pants (not leggings). They're usually a nice lightweight material that doesn't stick to the legs. Great for warm weather. Ditto on Walmart, Target, JCPenney's. I've also found some at TJMaxx/Marshall's, Burlington Coat Factory, and sport stores on clearance racks.
  • Congrats on your weight loss! You should be very proud to have lost so much. At 18 years, I wouldn't recommend surgery for you anyway. People don't stop fully developing until about 22 years of age. Work on toning your muscles and start a good skin care regime. Go to a doctor or dermatologist and get a prescription for…
  • I usually workout sometime after dinner. But really, I workout where ever it fits into my schedule or where I can make it fit. I like having protein before and after my workouts. My muscles don't feel so sore from my vigorous routine then.
  • Hi Shell, I agree that 1lb a week is a more reasonable goal. Weight loss is a journey, not a race. It takes time and you have to do the work to get results. I could give you my long sob story of how I struggled with my weight for most of my life, but to cut to the chase, losing weight isn't always as easy as the basic…
  • Looking for my weight loss twin. Is it you? :flowerforyou: Age: 29 Height: 5' 4.75" CW: 180 1st GW: 150 2nd GW: 130 - very comfortable Possible 3rd goal after reevaluation, maybe bodyfat% Currently exercising to P90 6 days a week. Prefer low carb eating, because I physically feel better and have more energy. Looking to not…
  • Nu-Salt! It's a salt substitute. It's potassium. Lots of it too in a tiny amount. I use this in my recipes and as table salt. Super easy.
  • Hi Shao! I've found everyone in the group to be super nice and extra helpful since I joined it last year. I like to use the search function to locate topics that may have already been discussed and contain great info. Sounds like you're setting yourself up for success! Feel free to add me. I log and comment daily. I wish…
  • I'm a fan of Syntrax Protein Powder. Their Nectar line is super yummy without blasting your carb count out of the water. I've used the chocolate truffle for making goods before. I just got some of their non-flavored medical powder to try with high protein bread like goods. I order mine off Amazon and I believe you can…
  • @ Melissa - Martini @Sentaruu - Jack & coke
  • Wow! I hope I get that into the videos. I've met several people now that absolutely love and swear by them over any other workout video. They also look amazing without dedicating their lives to the gym, which is encouraging. Added! Thank you!
  • Thank you Mschicagocubs. I was in the mist of writing something similar. There are physical conditions that can make eating veggies very difficult for people. Super-Tasters for example find certain foods extremely bitter to eat such as cabbage, kale, and broccoli. Please, don't assume someone needs to grow-up because they…
  • I agree with ninerbuff. I use to focus on my bum. I've done all the "bum exercises" in the past without much results. Granted, it was toned and strong, but it wasn't that nice "Brazilian" bum shape. So I just accepted I have a "cute little bum" and altered my pants to avoid saggy bum pants. It's an easy fix on pants. My…
  • I struggle as you do. I'm serious about changing my health with eating cleaner and getting fit. I've got 49lbs to lose plus maybe an extra 10lbs if I feel I need to. I log and encourage daily. My diary is open to friends too. Feel free to add me.
