As one of the sickies (and I was!!!-thanks so much for everyone's well wishes), I'm looking forward to making up some exercise and am committing to throw some big numbers in this coming week. I know we are all doing our best and I just love our team so much, big round of applause to Zumba our team leaders. Ok…

We can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!! Z, you are such an inspirational leader..........Austrailia, here we come!

Sodas even diet sodas are a bunch of chemicals, why put that into your body. And Sodas be they diet or not, are bad for your liver......so says Jillian Michaels, and her word is god enough for me!

Z, I sent you a private message..........and Baby, you are just looking fabulous! Just beautiful, my dear!

Hi Everyone, I was with BabyDull, D and Vero on the Row the World, so this should be fun, I live in Central Florida, have two dogs, Hunter a golden retriever and Wally West aka Flash Gordon-you should see Wally run! I'm a vegeterian, addicated to Game of Thrones, True Blood and of course the Biggest Loser. My goal is to…

Yeah, I'm in!!!!

The biggest discrepency I found is the elliptical. When I show 450ish here, I just count my burn off at 250. For the bike I count also 250 calories burned for a 30 min. A difference, but you know, coming here, logging in your food, logging in your exercise and the friends you have here make the difference for me!

I've been a vegeterian for over 6 years and my friends who aren't are always winning that I don't get enough protein. Ha! I am usually over on my protein and eat more protein than they do. I mix beans into my food, in place of hamburger in spaghetti and other meals, I use firm tofu and it tastes even better. There are a…

July 5th..1155 total burn....I bring 23.1 nautical miles. Go Team!

I think we are all doing fantastic..........not so concerned about our position as much as our team logging in the time, exercise and results. If we stay the course, and we will..........We are all going to be winners by the time we reach the end of this challenge! Good job Captain (and you did get my 36 miles from…

This is just too much fun! We've cleared the break water........off we go on a world wide adventure. Good Luck all Teams......eat our wake....(Just kidding :-)

Question.........I don't totally agree with the exercise counts here....for instance, My elliptical count here is over 472, I think....but I only count 250 on my at home written diet journal. Which do I submit to the Rowin Challenge? Thanks...........

Reel Winners, are your paddles in the water!!!!!!!!!! LET ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!!

If either one are hurting you ..you aren't doing the excercises correctly. Look online for correct positions. Also if you want to get a great core ....check out yoga exercises. Good luck! Linn

Okay, here suggesting some team names..........provided, I'm on either the Black Pearl or the Queen Anne's Revenge (Blackbeards' Ship) Marathon Racers.....Treasure Island Racers..........The Black Pearl Pirates of the Caribbean The Golden Hind-Drakes Ship Queen Anne's Revenge (Blackbeards ship) The Flying Dutchman In a…

Sugar in fruits is complex, processed sugar is where you don't want to go. Fruit is good for you..........I try to eat 2 servings of fruit a day.

Ok, I'm in............if you still need one more!!!!!!!!!!

I love chocolate..........but would recommend you have some healthier choices in your house. I know not to have chocolate cookies on hand.......keep only healthy food choices. Fruit, boiled eggs. yogart *though watch the sodium" . Once you get on healthy food options you don't want sugary calories......you learn to grave…

My husband could care less what I weigh, in fact he is no support at all. Ditto everyone in the "real world" my real world anyway. My true support comes from y.......my friends, my dear sweet wonderful friends here at MFP are always here, understand the struggle, understand and care. And I care about them. This is the best…

That is soooooooooo not true. Its like the law of gravity, you are saying it will work for other people but not you. Of course the law of gravity will work for you........and if you continue on your new lifestyle and eating plan, ..........the weight loss will happen for you. You have to trust the process. If you do what…

Bob Greene: If you are hungry, its okay to get a second helping.....BUT Waint 20 minutes. So, far, I've been following his advice for over a year, and don't think I've gotten a second helping of anything. It takes 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain you are full. It stops overeating! Jillian Michael: Weight loss…

Another lb lost..........but working it. All new Bon Temps Members invite me as a friend....and if you are not Bon Temps but need a Trubie Pal......I'm your gal!

LOL, I can't find us!!!! But go Team Bon Temps!!!!!!!! and a big shout out to my Truie pals...we are a couple of weeks away from the next season..........yeah!!!!!!!!

This is so inspirational, you must be proud! And you deserve to be for all the hard work you have done. We're all cheering your success!! Linn

Woooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! That is amazing and so are you!!! You are so cared for here at MFP, with so many friends and you are such an inspiration! We're all in your front row clapping! Way to go!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!

They all look good...........but check your portion size. and ask for dressing on the side. I've seen someone take a perfectly good salad, that is low cal, then dump 1000 calories of dressing on it. I will order a lunch, and immediately ask for a take out, put half the salad in the take out. My personal preference is like…

I think the big problem with salt/sodium is we have too much of it. I was a totaly salt-aholic, and now I have very limited amounts of sea salt, a better choice, in my opinion. Problem is we are getting way too much salt, there is a ton of salt in processed foods, canned foods and even frozen food entrees. They also add a…

Good ideas everyone!!!!

How about adding in a couple of healthy fruit servings. I usually have a greek yogart at one snack break and a piece of fruit at the second. I eat breakfast, snack midmorning, lunch 2 cups veggie salad with light dressing, midafternoon is a fruit, and then a veggie patty with one cup of veggies. I'm a vegetarian so I…
