I started today too. I did the entire 30 days about 2 years ago and had good results. Time to do it again!

Question of the Day: Friday - What do you want to be when you grow up? I recently (1.5 yrs ago) left the social services/ mental health counseling field after many years to be a stay at home mom. And that is what I want to be. I would also love to own a children's boutique.

QOTD Thursday: How are you going to kick some serious "bootay" in the next four weeks? I haven't given 100% the past couple weeks so I am ready to get back to it! Each day, I am going to eat healthier options and log my calories, drink 80oz of water and exercise. My plan is to alternate Jillian Michael's 30DS (I got…

Great idea with the thread Kasi! Let's drop some pounds black diamonds!!!

Qotd Thursday: what excuses do you use to eat something you shouldn't and how could you change this? I either say to myself "you've been so good for days that this one peanut butter cup (or whatever) won't hurt" or else I just think "I can exercise more to offset the calories". I have learned, however, that I don't always…

Sorry that my Wednesday question didn't apply to many of you. After 3 rounds of The Diamond Challenge, I'm running out of questions that haven't already been covered.

Question of the Day - Wednesday: How have your new healthier habits (eating healthier, exercising, etc) effected your significant other and/or child(ren)? My answer: I have introduced my husband and children to healthier food options and have greatly increased their vegetable intake. One of my husband's new favorite meals…

QOTD Tuesday: What is your favorite meal? By this I mean the meal that you most look/looked forward to, without regards to calories. Now, can you make it MFP-worthy? Tamales with mexican rice and chips, salsa & queso dip. Definitely not a low-cal meal ;)

I set my goal partially on previous weight and partially on previous clothing size. Before having my younger 2 children (1 & 3 yrs old), I weighed 130-135 and was a size 6 to size 8. My goal is to get back down to a size 6. I guessed at my goal weight but will re-evaluate at that time based on how size 6 clothing fits my…

Wed QOTD: Do you eat your exercise calories back??? It depends on the day and how hungry I am. But when I do eat my exercise calories back, I try not to eat more than half of them.

Thursday's QOTD (7/21): What is your favorite fun, active thing to do that is not a regulated workout? Not sure of a favorite... but I enjoy ice skating, even though I'm not very good at it.

Wednesday QOTD(Jul 20) : I know we are trying to be healthy. But what is the best or favorite icecream you had in your whole life? Chocolate-Peanut Butter and I still allow myself a small amount occassionally. And by small amount...its whatever fits in a dixie cup (about 1/3 cup).

in The Diamond Challenge: Week 1 (Little Diamonds) Comment by nkfowler74 July 2011
I never thought I would tell a stranger this, but... my ex-husband would "moo" or "oink" at me when I ate anything "unhealthy"..... and I was a size 4 or 6 then. No wonder I developed food issues.

in The Diamond Challenge: Week 1 (Little Diamonds) Comment by nkfowler74 July 2011
QOTD Wednesday - How much support do you get at home, from friends and family? Do people support your new healthier choices or is there pressure on you to revert to your old habits every time you see certain people? My husband is fairly supportive of my healthier eating habits... he will eat whatever healthy options I…

QOTD Tuesday: I often crave sweet stuff and very often give into temptation without much thought. What strategies do you use to keep your willpower strong and not snack? I just don't buy many sweets. So when I have the cravings, there isn't anything in the pantry tempting me. But the Reese's peanut butter cups in the…

in The Diamond Challenge: Round 3 - Wk 4 (DITR) Comment by nkfowler74 July 2011
For me personally, I'd say exercise. I'm not good at eliminating certain foods from my life completely, so its better for me to kinda eat what I want (within reason) and then work off the calories.

QOTD Thursday: What is the worst purchase you have ever made? My ex-husband's wedding band. lol QOTD Friday: What is the worst diet/weight-loss/exercise advice you have ever gotten? Either the cabbage soup diet or the baby food diet. I guess any fad diet is bad advice, but those 2 stick out in my memory.

I'm Nicki. I'm 5'1. I want to join the Little Diamonds because I'm short, am only about 1/3 of the way to my final goal, and have absolutely loved my experience in the DITR challenge during rounds 2 and 3.

QOTD Wednesday: Other than myfitnesspal (!), what is your favorite weight loss tool? Since my bathroom scale sucks, I don't have a kitchen/food scale, and I don't have a HRM (yet!)...... I will have to say my 30 Day Shred video and hand weights.
