For Team Peach! 229.4

TERRIBLE week. Which I still don't understand... Hoping for a better one next week. Gained 2 pounds even, so 332.6. Team peach!

Love the challenges so far... Keep 'em coming!

Totally missed the posting for the Wednesday challenge... But I did it anyway. Yay, me!

I graduated a few years ago -- 25 years old seems so old suddenly -- and am struggling to find cheap food that does not contain a lot of sodium. It's tough! Last summer, we visited the Farmer's Market every week -- if you have a local market, it's a pretty cheap way to get your veggies and fruits during the summer months…

Thanks for all the answers and advice, everyone! That answers my question perfectly -- I was really hoping the answer would be no so I can stay huddled in the privacy of my living room. Drat! Well, time to get over myself and try working out outside!

Woohoo! 9 cups of water and 42 minutes of exercise. Started the C25K program today, and that helped out. :) Awesome challenge!

A day late to really start with you, but thank you so much for posting the link! I had seen this here and there and was wondering what it is. :)

I put mine as an extra photo on MFP rather than my profile photo. Kind of wishing I had added my starting weight, but that's alright. I also decided I was going to be super brave and put them in a folder on FB. I'm honestly not sure what possessed me to do that, but, hey. Anyway, try to look at it this way. Whether you…

Uber delay, I know. Yes, those of us with fruit colors lucked out! We can make adorable little banners with adorable little fruit! Also, awesome mini challenge. I'm on it!

330.6 - Team Peach! Thank you!

I kind of failed yesterday due to an injury... I seriously considered going ahead with the challenge, but I'm losing weight to fix my bum knee, not to break it altogether! Looking forward to some light walking tonight though!

Thanks for the reminder!!! What I do to avoid crashing my diet is try to pack myself some healthy snacks -- baby carrots, some celery, calorie-controlled packs, etc. That way, I can safely graze before the barbeque, which cuts down on the red meat, chips, etc.

Hi! I recommend checking out the options on ExerciseTV.com. I'm kind of in the same boat, and they have some decent full-length vids for free.

I can't help it. After years of humiliating defeat after humiliating defeat... ;)

C'mon, boys! He's an EX player! This is a community of support and encouragement! If he was a Packer, all he has to do is fess up and admit that playing for the Packers was the biggest mistake of his life, and we can forgive him, can't we? In the name of weight loss? :) On a more serious note, best of luck to you on your…

DAY 1 1) What you did for exercise? - Aerobics - Gazelle - Strength Training 2) Duration? - 30 mins 3) Calories burned? 446 4) How you felt (you can refer to before, during, or after - I'm just curious... tired? powerful? joyful? sad? accomplished?) Mostly sore. As I've mentioned, I have a bad knee. During the Aerobics…

Woot woot! :) Thank you!!

Hilariously (?), I think my partner deleted her account!

Oh no!!! Stay strong -- you can do this!

You shouldn't feel guilty! You're getting up and doing something -- and, besides, beginning a garden is actually quite a bit of work!

Fantastic!!!

30 minutes sounds like a reasonable amount to me. :) If you go much higher, it gets hard for people to commit to so much time!

Sounds fun! I'm getting sick of my routine already! Like you, my roommate has lost tons of weight -- just by biking every day. And he eats absolutely CRAP all day. I'm jealous! Also, I have this terrible pain in my right knee, which makes it hard to do some exercises... I'm definitely on board!

The article is pretty alarmist in its overall message... But I agree with what the experts are saying in it: They sound as though they're saying water isn't a substitute for exercise and a good diet when it comes to weight loss... Just like anything else, I think it's important to research how drinking water impacts your…

I can't think of a better way to start the summer! I'm in!

I need the extra motivation... I feel myself getting lazy. :) And I am always looking for new ways to have fun losing weight!

First of all, great work! :) You're really doing a great job! Onto the question... I'm kind of the same. My job is an office job, but I'm jumping up every 20 minutes to run errands around the office. I've always chosen sedentary. If I understand the numbers, sedentary assumes you're sitting still most of the day and…
