Migraines are nasty! Feel better soon. And you are not letting us down!

14 X 8 = a lot! More specifically-112 oz. And that's a lot of water. Hope you bust this plateau out of here!

Crazy, stressful, fun day at work today! Only got in 8 glasses of water today-was working an associate event at work and we ran out! Did 25 jumping jacks (modified-my back is sore today) and 2 sets of 21's-cause I like that exercise. I think it is time to increase the weight there! I want to share the support I am getting…

Don't tell me that!! I need the challenge to keep drinking my water!

So proud of myself!! I did 10 REAL jumping jacks (no modifications!) before my back and knees really protested and then did 25 modified ones. Really got the heartrate up! Also did my 21's, ate 4 servings f/v and drank 104 oz water. Was going to try to do pushups too, but I'm too tired!

And while my bladder is a bit unhappy, the rest of me is getting used to all the water. When I did not drink it all yesterday (car shopping with hubby) I really felt it!

Thanks for sharing that!

The steriods will play havoc! My son was on them for 6 months. One thing the doctor told us (and worked for my son) is to be very careful with sodium. Which for us meant no canned anything (soup/veggies whatever). As for the rest-do what you know is right. The weight will come off eventually, but it will be slower because…

I'm a member of Team Waist Removers too. We all need to (and have!) support each other as much as possible. There are going to be some challenges we will all struggle with, but working together we will all be successful!

Good week-the candy didn't kill me the way I feared. I lost 2 lbs this week for a grand total of 40 so far. Hope everyone else had a great week!

Already sent info to MM, but for today I will be at 120 oz of water and walked 2 miles. Lost 2 lbs this week for a grand total of 40 so far!

YEAH!!! Good for you! Onederland is just around the corner!

Got 120 oz of water (and am going to cause plumbing problems at work being in there so often!) and walked 2 miles today. For tomorrow, I will get in the water and try to get to the gym. Maybe I can do more miles on the elliptical and then the treadmill. I will do my best!

There are shows onDemand (cable) that have you walking along (in place) for 20 minutes and it is a mile. The challenge is doing it while no one else in the family is watching! We only have one TV (I know it's old fashioned!) so if they are watching something, I am out of luck.

Today's update: drank 120 oz water at least and walked 1.5 miles today. We had an associate event today and I saw several people that had not seen me since April and they were amazed at the weight loss. It felt good to be validated and made it much easier to avoid the snacks that were provided!

For today (Wednesday), I have gotten in 118 oz so far and walked 2.5 miles (there is no rule that says I have to do it all at once!). I also did 25 wall push ups to support the punished team. Besides, I like doing those! I think tomorrow to make those harder, I will use the desk instead of the wall. Eventually I will work…

Glad you enjoyed the spinning! I am trying very hard not to eat the candy that is left over-and being somewhat successful, although not totally! I have really upped my water intake thanks to another challenge and I will say in just 2 days, my skin feels better, not as dry and I am thirsty more or at least I am recognizing…

Water intake is at 13 glasses. Mileage is a different story-I had to wear heels today and my feet are really protesting. Still managed 1/2 mile at lunch (and another 1/2 mile going to the bathroom!) No dress shoes tomorrow, so I should get at least 2 miles in.

Walked 1.5 miles today and drank 13 cups of water. (Which is about 12 more than usual lately!) Hope everyone else had a good day!

Good for you! And I can't believe it is November already. It's been a very fast year!

Hope everyone has a great day!

OK, binge is officially over. I am rather angry at myself for falling into those old habits. I got angry with hubby (it happens) and instead of confronting him about it and discussing it, I ate it away. Which made me even angrier. And so I ate more. Vicious cycle. I so am frustrated with myself!! Tomorrow is the start of a…

Thanks for sharing this!

Ace-Know you are not alone! I have been really struggling the last few days. I have been craving chocolate, and in trying to compensate for that, it seems like I am eating everything in sight. So today, I just gave in and had the chocolate. And it wasn't even that good! I feel like I am slipping into old habits, although I…

Go to their website and read their nutritional information. You can make the best choices for you then. (And a Happy Ending Sundae isn't too bad calorie wise!)

That's so cool that he noticed! Bet it felt great too!

So proud of myself! After 3 weeks at the new job-which I love!-I finally made myself go to the gym and work out. It was only 30 min. on the treadmill, but walking for that long at such a consistent speed and in a straight line was tough. My goal for this week is to get to the gym at least 3 days. I know it should be every…

I struggle with asking for help myself. Maybe being the oldest of 10 children and the mother of 5 has something to do with it? lol I also don't like to not excel at something and this is really hard. We are all here for you, and we are getting more active again (posting and working out!) For me, really being honest with…

Busy week, but productive at least as far as work is concerned. Still struggling to get back to the gym, but am adding steps to my day (parking further away, pacing while practicing speeches stuff like that). Went shopping today with hubby and bought stuff so that I can bring lunches to work. The trick will be to actually…

Are you sure you are hungry and not just thirsty or tired? When I really crave carbs, it usually is because I am tired. However, when you have to keep going, it's tough! Another trick is to brush your teeth. It works for almost any craving because who wants to eat with minty fresh breath? Good luck in your journey!
