ARGH! I did not go to the gym yesterday. It was icky outside, I had just started ( I know, TMI ) and I had the cramps from hell. Now I feel guilty because today is my scheduled day off and I can't go to the gym tonight because DH has to go to some meeting with his band after work. AND it's my cheat day today so I'm like a…

MM - I've been using the Kraft Foods 1 bag, 5 dinners Healthy Living Bags. I LOVE them, because then I can plan out what we're going to eat for dinners for the week, they give you a list, and the recipes are pretty good and low cal! I supplement them with fresh fruit, and deli turkey and cheese and things like that for…

We bought a filtered pitcher and a couple of reusable water bottles. We spent about $50 and it's been great. We save money, we have clean water, and we're not throwing plastic bottles into landfills. If you haven't already, I would look into something like that. We particularly like Kleen Kanteens.

Everybody's doing so great!!! Kim, I definitely think you got some kind of exercise in, even if it wasn't organized! I can't wait to bring my little one to the pumpkin patch. Hopefully he'll be able to lift one this year. Last year he was too tiny. Well, I got an extra 10 minutes in on the elliptical. (Death to the…

Oh, alright. You can have it. Ninjas are nothing if not good sharers. Plus, I have a whole box! Hahahaha! *Runs off with box of pies under her arm*

*pulls on ninja costume* Do you really want to mess with this? And yes, that really IS what I look like. Not. Yeah right, like I would wear that in an epic sword battle. It's not very practical. Anyway... *pulls out sword with that cool schling sound they make* Bring it!

But DANG was it good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And only 200 calories. Not the best 200 calories in the world, but sometimes a girl's gotta have a deep-fried chocolate creme pie. :bigsmile:

Well...I did 10 extra minutes on the stairclimber today. :noway: I might die.

You are so awesome. Keep kicking butt, girlie!!! :flowerforyou:

You've got my vote!

It is difficult to lose weight. Really really difficult. But when you really commit to it and see your relationship with food and working out change, you feel like nothing can stop you and you can do ANYTHING! I'm the same way you are. I have always been bigger than all of my friends, and I had just accepted it, until one…

I'm out here! I was wondering what had happened to everybody! My week's going well. Been to the gym 3 times since Saturday! Woo! I'm actually sticking with it this time! I think the water requirement is a pretty good challenge. I've been trying to do it on my own. It's harder than I thought it would be!

I have a 15 month old son, and my workout time is my private time. It's the hour or so I get each day to go think my own thoughts, work on myself, and just be...ALONE for a while. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Have you asked your husband if he might watch your daughter for an hour or so, so you can go for a walk, or run, or go…

Yay!!! I made it to the gym last night! That's my six days a week! WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm proud of myself. I've never actually made it six days in a row before. Of course, I've also gained 4 pounds of water weight from bloating this week :frown: , but at least I know what it is and know that it will go away. Poor…

Well, yesterday did not go so well for me. Thursday is our scheduled pizza night because of The Office being on TV. I know, kind of silly, but I had to make a compromise with my husband about dinner menus. We were at the store buying some basics (dish soap, laundry detergent, etc.) and the nom monster hit me full on in the…

Oh, that STINKS!!! It's good that you caught it early!

Well...I'll never look at honey the same way. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I've heard chocolate milk is good for an AFTER-workout snack, so I've been drinking a glass when I get out of the gym. Otherwise, I would bring something like a bar so that you could eat while you were on the elliptical and wouldn't have to stop in the middle. Also, maybe you're just thirsty? I know that about halfway…

Good for you! I joined our local Y because I knew that the guilt of paying for something and not using it would get me to go when I didn't feel like it. I LOVE it!

Thank you! Your babies are pretty adorable too! :flowerforyou:

First of all, you are already beautiful. Losing weight will not make you any more or less beautiful. It will just make you healthier. Try to eat some fruit and veggies in between appointments, or drink a glass of milk, or make a smoothie with peanut butter, bananas, milk, and a scoop or two of protein powder. That will…

You'll know when it's the right one. Also, congratulations! Weddings are so much fun, and a Christmas wedding sounds like a really great idea! If it was me, I would make it really kitschy and make Christmas tree ornaments for favors that have the wedding date and a simple Thank You for Sharing Our Day! and a picture of the…

Hey! I'm a SAHM! I have one son, he's 15 months. I haven't really been working out as consistently as I have wanted to, and I just found this challenge, so WOO! I have worked out every day since Saturday. I'm shooting for 6 days a week, taking Fridays off. I really had to push myself to get to the gym today. I did 10…

That happens to me too. I gain a few pounds right before, and then in the middle of my cycle, I lose it, and sometimes a few more.

I have bad knees and can not walk on the treadmill at all. I always use the elliptical, because it puts less strain on my knees. I would try that. It's the same type of exercise, just a little less stress on the knees.

He just left this morning. It's in General Discussion under I'm out...

Goodbye Banks! You've always been an inspiration and a great source of information to me. You will be sorely missed. I understand your reasons for leaving and wish you all the best in your journey!

I didn't read any of the previous posts, I just wanted to say something about The Biggest Loser in particular. I usually don't watch it, but I surfed onto it waiting for the debate last night, and if I was Jillian, I would be just as angry! I would KILL for the chance to have a personal trainer, fully stocked healthy…
