  • I normally always eat back my calories maybe that is why I loose soooo slow. Great Job on eating your greens!
  • Wed and Thurs Exercise minutes added:
  • Wow Blue team had week one and Red Team comes back to take Week two. Very close competition for these two teams! Yeah! Awesome Job everyone! Who will take Week 3?...
  • Found this ticker site if anyone is interested... First time using it so figuring it out! Here is my Exercise Min for week 3 so far! http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php?type=8
  • I did several mini walks yesterday instead of one walk because it was cold and windy here. Since using the pacer app that tracks steps I am noticing I am less active than I imagined. The only veggie I ate yesterday was the cabbage and carrots from the corned beef and cabbage. Not sure if you can call cabbage a green? Will…
  • Coopscoop! Great Job on loosing another pound! You are on a role! What are you doing for your resistance workout?
  • Not a bad day. Got in 60 Min of walking in today 25 min after work them 25 min this evening. Made a spinach salad with broccoli and cauliflower for dinner. I like most veggies but have issues eating fruit. I like cucumbers out of my garden but hate the ones in the store..not sure what they coat them with. I need to scroll…
  • I am in. Just bought a bag of apples today so now this side challenge will help me actually eat them!
  • I thought that was pretty funny too! lol
  • Week ended up well. Down this week. Yay! Thanks for all the encouragement! Plan on getting 10,000 steps today. Will try to keep stretching I feel it is helping my shoulder and my ankle. Went shopping yesterday and got a new pair of tennis shoes I found on sale. They feel like they have more support than my last pair. Hope…
  • Great Job Amy, Lori and Julia!
  • Ha Ha love the term Dr. Google! I actually did that myself for my heel and found a way to tape it. That seemed to help! Hope the stretches help with the priformis muscle everyone. Take care of that hamstring Amy! I started the day stretching and then just took a 20 min walk. I seriously over ate today will have to be…
  • I am really seeing how important stretching is. I am not really sure when my heel started bothering me just kind of gradual. I took some time Sunday and did quite a bit of stretching exercises. Seems like I like to jump into things and don't always do the best stretching when I am done either. Today I did a 3mile walk with…
  • Cheers to Amy for a Fantastic loss this week! Also Nice loss for Melissa! and congrats to Carl and Beverly for not gaining! Staying steady is also a good thing! Go Blue!
  • Exercise minutes for me were more than usual. I was trying out the Pacer app. lol Last week 286 min This week Target 321. I seriously hate to say my left ankle has been bothering me a little. Funny thing is that it hurts when I walk on it first thing in the morning but seems to get better during the day but tonight is…
  • I agree we are a lot alike.. Stupid Teeth! and I also agree Leslie Sansone can be annoying! LOL! I like oatmeal too! Since being on MFP I have found steel cut oats and they are amazing. They take a while to cook but they really stick with you during the day. I tried a crock pot recipe with bananas and walnuts to cook the…
  • Great way to plan ahead and have the courage to not eat what everyone else is eating! Keeping your eye on the goal!
  • Got in 6500 steps yesterday so will shoot for 10,000 again today. Was over on my calorie count but did better in my water intake. I weighted in this morning and was 174.6 down a little but weighed after I checked in and was 173.7 Hate it when that happens. I won't change my check in weight again today but I will if it is…
  • I have never done a spinning class before. I have heard some good results from that! Glad you found a way to exercise that works for you!
  • Great Job Amy for planing ahead and not letting your meeting derail your goals!
  • There is a little gym where I work a seasonal job and I went in yesterday and got on a treadmill for 20 min then an elliptical for 15 min. I played sports when I was in HS but never joined a gym in my life and walking on the treadmill was a bit strange for me. Seemed a little harder on my knees than regular walking. Sure…
  • Amy if you want to try Leslie Sansone before going a buying a DVD you can find quite a few on youtube.
  • I agree we are def a lot alike! Leslie Sansone does get annoying sometimes lol! Yes and she is perfect when you can't get outside but you don't want that to be your only exercise!
  • Got in to the oral surgeon and he said everything looks find just will take a while to heal. I had a root canal when I was going to college from a new dentist who I think was trying to pay off his student loans. To top it all off the crown he put on my tooth had a gap that I have been meticulously cleaning for 30+ years. I…
