Sorry I disappeared. I had no time to take care of myself and my weight is the same:cry:

Hello, I have noticed some great progress from the group. that's totally awesome. I have lost 1 pound, although I hoped to lose 3 by now. My eating habits have been quite challenging. However, I do not feel despair for we have two more weeks. Keep up the good work ladies:)

some exercise ideas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9ucbo_fx64&feature=related

squats using a physio ball for support and leg lifts.

Hello All, I am still 200lbs, but I am still hopeful. Part of me wants to blame my menstrual cycle, lol. I burned 1300 calories last week, and hope to burn 2000 calories this week. My eating habits were not the best last week, but I hope that all changes this week.

awesome, keep it up.

cool i"m doing a 5K on July 2, 2011

awesome, what weight are you at right now.

good for you:)

i count it as water because its sugar free in my case. I drink green tea with no sugar or milk.

a good rule of thumb is to avoid chemicals. I have trouble drinking water, so I add fresh lemon to give it some zip. I also make a sugar free ice tea, and it just consist of green tea leafs, lemon, and of course water. You can use any tea bag you want.

kathy smilth has a great kettleball dvd.

i use Bodylogix. it has a great taste and it only has 1gram of sugar. one scoop is 117calories and has 20grams of protein. Taste is really important to me too. I usually add a banana and some soy for thickness and extra flavour.

i think pop is bad because its all chemical. it cannot be good for your body. maybe try to limit your intake to once a week and drink plenty of water and herbal tea.

Only you can answer that hard question with some deep honest soul searching.

i will be in the same boat soon. I am planning of eating lots of salads, grill lean proteins, and fresh fruits, since I will not be able to prepare my own meals. My game plan is to also document what I am eating, even if I do not have access to the internet to make myself accountable for my actions. I know my major…

good shoes are important. In addition, start slow. I just started to learn how to run, and I am progressing at a nice steady pace. week one - jog for 1 min., walk for 1min, and repeat for 8 reps week two - jog for 2 min, walk for 1 min, and repeat for 6 reps week three- jog for 3 min., walk for 1 min, and repeat for 5 reps…

exercise, exercise, exercise. I had my menstral cycle this week, and did not want to exercise at first, but I pushed myself. Once I started exercising, I was ok. My cramps actually decreased.

i am 5'10 and I am aiming for 160lbs. If I became any smaller, I would look sick because I have a large frame.

greek yoghurt is really good, just add your favourite herbs and spices.

I would stay away from the pills. I drink green tea, and make large batches of tea ice with it. It ensures that I am drinking something calorie free that I can count as water. Losing weight is all about life style change, and making better choices. Pills may work in the short term, but we cannot take pills for the rest of…

buy a seat pad:wink: My butt was sore for 2 days afterwards. Plus, bring plenty of water. Its fun, once you get into it.

I do not count daily living activities. I only count exercises that elevate my heart rate for more than 10 minutes.

I feel like that sometimes, that is why I do not allow unhealthy foods at home. Therefore, if I feel like eating then I am stuck eating raw veggies or fruits.

kettlebell weights:)

I have the same problem, but nothing is wrong with me according to the sleep clinic I attended. I am hoping that exercise will help with my sleeping issues over time.

i totally agree

:happy: I am 5'10 and my goal weight is 160.

steel cut is less process, and better quality. I make my food in advance, including oatmeal, so I have no excuse to eat right. I store half of my batch in the freezer, and portion three days worth in the fridge. I have no issues with the taste or texture. I usually add whey protein, coconut oil or milk, flax seed, and…

what kind of foods are you eating? weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise. I do three things to give me a bit of an edge. First, I add apple cider vinegar with chilli flakes to my salads. Second, I add coconut oil to my oatmeal. Lastly, I consume vitamin B12. These three things help add weight loss for me.
