Wow guys, sorry. No offense meant. I was actually referring to there being no pictures posted.

I opened this thread in hopes of seeing a little eye candy, not just talking about it....I guess I'll get back to work then.

Uh...yeah...these are getting a little tougher. I'll pitch in 400 extra crunches. I usually don't do any unless it's on the list of challenges so now is a good time to start, right? I just had this conversation last night with my friend that I need to start working on my abs. Now is as good a time as ever. If I do 70 a day…

Don't be depressed about the gain. We're starting a new week today so just think of it as a do-over. That's why we're all here. To give and get support from each other. No, you don't need to jump off the team. We wouldn't have a team if we all jumped off when the scale went up. Read the posts for our weekly weigh ins...you…

Wow! It looks like you all are doing pretty well. My mom (who also battles her weight) always used to say, "if you lost 2 pounds, that makes you 4 pounds ahead of the game because you're going in the right direction and didn't gain 2". My week was pretty much a wash. I gained .2, but I'm an optimist and thinking it's…

Sunday was on track for water and calories. Weigh in this morning was181.6.....that's a gain of .2. :sad:

Sorry I didn't log in yesterday. Under calories Water in Challenge done Extra mile if we still need more....

Sorry guys. I crashed and burned today. I couldn't get the challenge in. I'm having a hard time with my hamstring and I have a long run scheduled for tomorrow so I took it easy today. I also tend to eat a little more on Fridays to help with my long Saturday run so...I am over on my calories...ugh. BUT I got my water in!

Congrats to you!!! Keepup the good work.

Love the 21s, hate the jumping jacks, but they're both done. Water in. Under calories. Walked an extra 1.5 miles today after my run so I'm finished with my pledge of 10 miles. Have a good night everyone!

Increase your distance slowly so you don't get hurt. You want to push yourself a little, that's how we get better, but not too much. A general rule of thumb is not to increase more than 10% per week.

All of my summer clothes (shorts, capris, tanks) are getting too big. They fit okay when I first put them on, but after I've had them on for an hour I can slide them over my hips without unzipping them. (They used to be really tight and then fit ok a little later.) I've started rolling the waist band down so they fit a…

Good morning everyone! I you all have a wonderful Thursday. One more day until the weekend. Woo hoo! Those compliments are so nice to get. They kind of get you jazzed up and let you know you're making great progress.

Crunches and mountain climbers done. Water in. Under calories....just barely Walked 3 miles today towards my 10 so I'm at 9/10.

Woo hoo! I'm glad you feel so good. And you're going to rock both of those weddings! God gave me a lot of things in life, but a waist was not one of them. Even when I'm thin (it's been a while) I have more of a jelly bean shape. I would love to hear someone say I had a tiny waist...

21 years ago today I ran away to Vegas with my sweetheart and tied the knot. I was 18 and he was 21 so we've pretty much defied the odds. We've both gained a bunch of weight together and we're in the process of losing it together now. For our anniversary, my hubby is making me dinner. Grilled rib eye steaks, shrimp scampi,…

Swimmers press done Extra mile done Water in Under calories +++ two more miles added toward my 10 puts me at 6/10. Did a total of 7 miles today, four on schedule, one extra for the challenge and two more towards my ten. I will sleep well tonight.

I'm in Elk Grove....

It is sooooo possible. I signed up for my first tri before I learned to swim so if I can do it, anyone can. I had a friend teach me the basics of swimming and I spent enough time in the pool to learn what I needed to do. What's nice about a tri is you don't have to do any one thing for too long. You swim a bit, you bike a…

This is a recipe from the Cooking Light cookbook. I tasted them at a party and didn't know they were low fat so I've started making them for my family and just not told them the difference...but that's our secret. Choclate Chip Cookies 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 3/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup applesauce,…

I've learned that I enjoy runnng. Who knew...? I started about 6 years ago with a friend and I hated it with a passion but did it because we signed up to run a marathon so we had to. Just this year, since I started taking nutrition and getting in shape a little more seriously, I've found I actually like it. At least most…

Hi there! I'm so glad to have a motivating thread to last through Christmas. I weighed in yesterday at 181.4. My signature says I've lost 15 pounds, but I found a couple of those so I have 2 pounds to lose until it's current again....:blushing: Today pretty much stunk for a Monday. Here's to hoping everyone has a better…

Squat kicks are done. Water in. Under calories. 4 miles towards my 10 done.

Skirt Sports guarantees their product not to rise. I love mine, but they're kind of expensive.

I'm in!! I want to be 160 pounds by Christmas!

If this in addition to our regular run/walk I will do 10. I'm already scheduled for 20 miles this week so this will make 30. Yikes....but I can do it!! I'll keep telling myself that. :wink:

Sunday morning check in.... I completed all of the challenges for the week, came in under calories each day, and drank all of my water. Weigh in this morning was 181.4 with a loss of 3.2 pounds.

Lunges are done. Ran 9 miles this morning so I'll be under on my calores for sure. Already almost done with my water so that won't be a problem. I'm sending this in early because I may not be available later tonight. Have a good weekend everyone!

Push ups done...yes they were girlie push ups but at least I did them. Water in. Under calories.

10 cups of water Under Calories Up Downs Finished...I REALLY hate those.
