I love getting compliments.... but I've never gotten as many as I do now!! LOL My usual response to "you look so great!" (in all its many variations) is to say, "Thanks, but even better than how I look is how I feel -- b/c getting healthy feels great!!" Of course, to the people who ask "How'd you do it?" (obviously wanting…

Sorry I haven't been on......... I've been on "injured reserve" this week. After straining my quads a couple of weeks ago, I started riding for rehab on Monday -- and promptly crashed Wednesday, bruising my knees, foot and shins. Slowly getting back into exercise mode. I plan on kicking it into gear this week!!! My weight…

I'm already over 100 oz for today.... my miles are coming, as I'm heading out in a few minutes to do 4+ miles. I'll send my numbers to MM before I leave, since they will be late if I wait until I get back. I'll update final numbers as soon as everyone gets them to me -- DON'T FORGET to send them to MM by 5:00 TODAY!!!! We…

Water -- we're all doing great -- everyone has had at least 100 oz every day!!! Walking -- we are at just under 50 miles, with only myself and pkiddy logged in for Friday.... so, if everyone else logs in 1.5 miles Friday, and we each log 5 miles Saturday.... we can make it!!! Of course, I know some of us can't walk or run…

As of right now.... we are at over 2400 oz of water (we are averaging well over 700 per day -- YAY TEAM!!) and we are at 44.37 miles. We're getting closer :bigsmile: Keep up the great work!! We can do this!!! :drinker: <double-fisted water drinker!!! LOL

Wednesday Report: Water: 112 oz Walking: 1 mile, plus 45 minutes of bike riding Pushups: 25 wall pushups (normally I do girly-style, but I wiped out on my bike and hit my knee -- it's now all swollen and bruised!!) Jacks: 50 (for my other challenge) Crunches: 50 (for my other challenge) WOW -- I didn't realize how much I'd…

My daily report: Water -- 120 oz Miles -- 3.1 (2.1 on elliptical and 1.0 walking) I'll try to do more, but my legs are complaining!! TOTAL TO DATE: One person has not signed in yet for Monday or Tuesday, and a couple are still missing for today (Tues) but as of right now: WATER: We had 600 oz on Monday (YAY -- that's our…

Great idea!!!! And a mile is a wonderful start -- that's more than some of us started with!! I took today off to continue resting my quads -- but they are definitely on the mend, so I'm hoping to get several miles in tomorrow. I drank my water though -- 14 cups and counting!! Keep posting, ladies, so I can get the tally…

post it here =)

Hi All!!! today's weight: 168.0, which is a loss of 1 lb. Not as much as I'd hoped, but I'll take it!! Water: 10+ every day sit-ups: Did them every day Sun - Thursday. I strained my quads at the gym Thursday night (long story short --> stupid personal trainer!!!) and have been unable to do almost anything since. Even…

WOO HOO!! My husband is a fisherman!!! Great idea -- and it will be put to use this weekend =)

I went this summer with my kids. Between walking EVERYWHERE, drinking tons of water, and eating healthy (grilled chicken and fruit ) whenever I could, I maintained my weight. I didn't have internet access, so I just logged it all when I got home. Only downside was starting my "days logged in" count all over. If you have a…

If it goes in my mouth -- it goes in my diary!! :drinker:

CONGRATS!!! Nothing makes this weight-loss success more "real" than fitting into smaller sizes!!! :flowerforyou:

Count me in!! Great idea :flowerforyou:

Blue Bunny makes a really good fudgesicle for 35 calories; m&m fun-sized packs are only 77 calories a pack. Skinny Cow makes a chocolate ice cream bar thats 110 cals. I used to be a chocoholic -- one of my best NSV's came when I'd logged in my chocolate and then forgot to eat it -- it just isn't as desirable anymore. Good…

I get a half sandwich and then a side garden salad with fat free dressing. Depending on the sandwich you choose (look them in advance!!) it should come in under 500 cals each time. Also, they have 3-4 really good full-sized salads (or you can do the 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 specialty salad) -- just avoid the Southwestern one,…

Just a couple of grammatical changes: Remove the word "spring" after newborn as it confuses the reader. Add a comma after pineapple in the second to last line. Also, I agree with SFG about using all similes or all metaphors. If you have to use both, either group them, or possibly have them alternate lines. Overall, I love…

A lot of entries from Genghis Grill are in the database -- if what you want isn't there, they have a complete nutrition guide on their website. I use their numbers for any Mongolian food-type meals that I can't find actual numbers for.

THANKS everyone!! It feels good to be looking better -- and I know I'm a lot healthier now, too!! For those who wanted to know about where I shop... D***s Sporting Goods and TJ Maxx!! Absolutely love the pink/black capris -- they have web-panels at the back waist and behind the knees to allow better "breathing".... makes a…

I'm 44, and started running at 190+ lbs this summer. What worked for me was starting slow, doing interval training (I had to modify the C25K program) and always taking at least a day's rest between runs. The other key is having the right shoes for my running style -- it's made all the difference in the world!! I'm not…

tried again...still didn't work. I don't know what's wrong. :sad: Ive got someone smarter than me working on it -- hopefully he can figure it out and help me. I'll try report when I figure out what's wrong!

I used photobucket...copied the IMG Code, then changed the IMG to img. What did I do wrong???

Final this morning: 180.8!!!! Woo Hoo!!! Hope it sticks for the weekend (biggest loser weigh-in) :wink: and, I got my walk in last night during football warmups, but not monday's exercises. I was over on water and under calories both Monday and Tuesday. Thanks for all the support and motivation this month!! Enjoy September…

This is a super challenging week at school for me -- I'm not sure how much I can get in!!! For today -- I'm under calories and over on water...... but I'm not going to be able to complete the workouts without a break. It's too late to start, and I'm still under the weather from this weekend. I ache in places I didn't know…

I'm also asthmatic -- and only have problems when I run. After 20 years of never running, I started up this summer. I've been working on interval training for running, and do a combined walk/run about 5 times a week. I carry an inhaler "just in case" and really pay attention to my breathing -- it's not worth an attack to…
