Hi,I don't know if it's the best time or not, but I weigh myself at the same usual time, after I wake up in the morning.

Great post!

This challenge has helped to me to exercise more, even when I don't have time, I try to find ways to move. This will make it difficult to come up with excuses for not exercising in the future! I'm definitely drinking more water, which is an achievement. But i haven't lost much weight, part is due to the food choices I've…

That's amazing! Congratulations!

Green salad & tomatoes, marinara, and tomatoes with grilled vegetables & yogurt.

Hi everyone, Sorry for not introducing myself earlier, had a crazy last week. I'm Sumaya, I work in healthcare and teach at the university. My work takes a lot of my time and I have to take it back home too. I'm preparing for a promotion/tenure which is making work extra crazy. So, sorry if you don't see me popping on the…

1- More water 2- More active minutes

We cook with a lot of spices. Without exaggeration, there are over 40 jars of different spices in the cupboard! didn't go grocery shopping this week so instead decided to use a spice in a new way and use another that I haven't in a long time. -Lemon pepper, cumin, saffron, lemon & chicken (yum!), still needed some salt but…

Would love to join you! But will start in a few days. :)

I walked and ran the 26 miles during the 1st 4 days of the challenge and was glad that I'd accomplished it! Only to discover that I had calculated the distance (fitbit) in kilometres not miles! The 26 miles are actually 40 kilos :'( :'( Ran like a crazy woman the last 2 days to reach the goal, and just kept walking all the…

Bravo!

Accountable to self: 1- Weighing weekly and posting it 2- More active: longer duration and trying out different exercises 3- Less excuses, and joined a gym Want to: 1- Consistent and improved logging 2- More weight resistance exercises

@laurab384 so we're team 7 now?

Thanks for the recipe! Not a big fan of falafel, but this recipe sounds tasty, might try to make it someday.

So the new tickets for the race are out. Thank God it's less than 2000 miles! Last week was tough, and my knees now hurt from all the stair climbing :'( Anyway, this week looks pretty easy to achieve. Let's all have a great one!! Btw, how many members are we really?

You're welcome (I'm sure you meant to add me :D )

Thank you @Melodieccurn for the effort you put in to all of this <3 Googled Kiev (I didn't know where it is :o ). Just in case someone's wondering too, it's the capital of Ukraine!

I love apple pie, the smell, crunchiness of the shell, and the gooey sweet and tart apple filling <3 But it's one of the richest desserts. I like the pie filling most. Apples are my favourite fruits. So I've tried to make the pie filling without butter and caramel, just cooking apples with lemon and cinnamon. Or apple…

Sure, and I completely agree with you. This recipe is for the less common lentil soup, it's yellow in colour, serves 4-6: In a pot add: 1 cup red lentils 1/4 cup short grained rice 5 cups boiling water Cook until soft (30 min +/-) Blend with a cup of chicken stock, or a cup of water and a chicken bouillon cube. (Add more…

@laurab384, I think I'm a bit late in my reply, but try Mouloukhia (can be a meal if you add chicken or as traditionally made in egypt, with rabbits!!), or as Nikion901mentioned lentlils' soup. I'll post the recipe if you wish. Personally, I've eaten the following: Bamia (Okra stew), Kushari (rice, pasta, brown lentils,…

Thanks Laurab384 and Nikion 901.

[quote="laurab384" We seem to be down to 11 team members this week. And with over 6642 miles to go that's 604 minutes each! I know we'll have to dig deep to reach that goal but I believe in us! Remember activity doesn't just have to be a killer sweat session. A 15 minute walk at lunch or 30 minutes of yoga after dinner all…

@Nikion901 @laurab384 Thank you. I'm much better now :) This week's challenge is interesting and exciting! @vazquezmom7 I couldn't think of a single place that is outdoors and has stairs, good luck with it!

Sorry Team, was down with the flu and could hardly move out of bed. Didn't want to let you down especially that we really need the points. I couldn't exercise, so instead was walking slowly as much as I can these past 3 days when I started getting a bit better. Yesterday, pushed myself to walk for 55 minutes, and today I'm…

My absolutely favourite egg dish would my grandmother's shakshouka. Done by grandmother of course, as we could never do it the same as hers. It's the favourite of all the family, even the extended. Of course, she doesn't measure the ingredients, but here's a guesstimate: 1/2 Tbs olive oil (or canola/corn) 1/2 medium onion…

I really hope Memere101 is OK. Nikion901 you're part of the team, and we all have ups and downs, don't give up on us, you can do it!

Great! Thanks

memere101..How does the buddy system work?
