  • Day 2 and 3 done. How many people are actually doing this challenge? I'm enjoying it but it feels kinda lonely on these threads.
  • Day one is done gonna do day two after I get the kids off to school. I'm doing this challenge with a couple others so I managed to get one hell of a leg workout yesterday. My tush is really stinkin' sore this morning.... gotta love it though!
  • Totally agree with dmuller... look at the the course and you can see what your gonna need to work on. What race are you doing? I just did the Warrior Dash yesterday without training what-so-ever:embarassed: :ohwell: I did pretty good though... the hills were the worst part for me. I was huffing and puffing to get up them…

  • Channy, is that number your calorie burn for the week so far? I added it to the spreadsheet but if everyone could list their burns for each individual day then we can keep track of how far we have left to go to reach our goal. Looks like right now we are at 4878/12600 calories burned. Only three of us have checked in…
  • Fun Stuff! We stayed at Circus Circus in March. It was okay but I told my husband next time I want to stay at treasure island. I could have watched that Pirate Ship Show a million times! Did you make it to Fremont Street? The light show and zip lines there were amazing! I'm jealous you got to do all those shows. We had…
  • K, so I took a computer class once many years ago and they taught me how to use the formats in spreadsheets but I totally forgot so if someone wants to add the format to the spreadsheet that would be totally awesome.

  • So, I've just got to say my piece he re.... I think eliminating dessert is silly! I'm the kind of person that if you tell me I can't have something I want it that much more. We can totally have desserts if we keep it reasonable and within calorie/sugar recommendations. In order to make weight loss effective it has to be a…

  • Phelps, how vigorous do you ride? I'm sure your at least going 10 miles per hour. Just use your best guess-timation. I mean really the only person your hurting if you give false information is yourself so I completely trust that you'd be honest with your calculations. Someone introduced me to a cool website too that might…
  • Channy, you've been doing amazing! Its perfectly normal to have a few set backs... don't worry, just keep moving forward. And a big Congrats on the intervals! I love running but I didn't start until a couple years ago. Now I try to sign up for all the mudruns and races I can find. Week 6 Monday 5/27- Sunday 5/26 EXERCISE:…
  • Just took my dog out for a short run. Really I was trying to find my cat! We moved about 6 weeks ago and my cat keeps going back to the old house. Its only half a mile away and the neighbors have been keeping an eye out for him but I wish he'd just keep his little tail home where he belongs:grumble: Week 7 Monday 6/3-…

  • Phelps, Kids are funny. They can really help or they can hinder a good workout. My youngest tries every once in a while to workout with me. He is so uncoordinated though it cracks me up. Apparently, I'm not too coordinated either (or maybe I just simply look funny) but if I try to exercise in front of the older ones they…

  • Hello, I'm Kasi. I joined this group a while back but never actually opened a thread until today. Recently I've just been using MFP for the challenges. The seem to keep me focused but two of them just ended leaving me with time to venture out for other support systems. I added my name for the MIles Walked challenge/goal…
  • 1) I've been a member of the 30 Somethings group for months but never opened a single thread until today. 2) I absolutely love the ocean. Its my favorite place to be. Doesn't matter if its Oregon or Hawaii.... any beach will do :bigsmile: 3) This year I can officially say I have been a mom for over half my life!
  • Everyone in my family (that are old enough) have a butterfly tattoo! My grandma was the first one to get it. She watched me get my first tattoo and thought it looked painless enough that she decided to get her first one a few months later. She must have been about 75 years old I think. Anyway, after she got hers my little…
  • Did you know lady bugs smell super bad! When I was young there was a light outside of my window that the lady bugs were attracted to so I had tons like literally piles of them crawling around my room all the time. I told my mom I wanted to get rid of them but she didn't understand... she thought I was crazy when I told her…

  • How old are your kids? I simply don't buy foods that are bad for them to indulge in. We have lots of fruits, veggies, nuts/granola, yogurt, ect. I also use smaller plates. I can fill the smaller plates to look like they have a larger amount of food (works great for the younger ones). My husband eats larger portions but he…
  • Sandi, I went to Vegas for my first time in March! Have you been before? Where are you staying? There is sooooo much to see and do there! I averaged about 10 miles of walking almost everyday that I was in Vegas. I did put on 5lbs though.... I'd suggest avoiding the buffets:wink: Cg, Looks like you still did an amazing job…
  • This is who gives me the strength, courage, support, love, and some constructive criticism (as needed) to keep me pushing forward and striving to be the best I can be. This is my family and without them I would be lost!

  • Channy, You are a Rockstar!!! You have lost 15lbs since the beginning of this challenge. That is extremely impressive! Gets, Your last recorded weight was 202... that means your down 3lbs!!! Congrats for making it into ONE-derland!!! We just got back from a 4 day camping trip so I know my weight today is not accurate and I…
  • Sorry, the recipe makes 5 servings and its about 2 and 1/2 quarts so 2 cups would be one serving.
  • Glad you ladies found us! Jl, just try to stay focused. You've got the right idea by taking it one day at a time.... Baby steps are fine. Trading just one bad choice for a good one will eventually create a chain of good choices after a period of time. You've got this, your doing great:flowerforyou:
