Blue team has lost the highest percentage of body weight from week 1 AND week 2 combined! All the percentages (teams and individuals) show the cumulative percentage lost! So each week, that's the percent overall, not just from the week! :smile:

HEY YELLOW TEAM!!! Please make your new teammember mommy2squish feel at home! :flowerforyou:

I was told (by several sources) to base my protein intake on my body composition. When I calculated it out, that's about what I should have a day.

It's important to eat 1200 calories a day. Any less and your body clings to every bite and stores it. You gain weight. Add fruits and veggies, yogurt, nuts to your diet. Skip the donut and shoot for healthier calories. If you feel disgusting eating so little, it should be a huge red flag for a possibility of an eating…

Friday QOTD: Ummmm, carbs. Anything full o' carbs. I love fries, pasta, mashed potatoes, sugary stuff, chips... You name anything loaded with carbs, I'm in love. I try to find ways to work with it. It would kill me (not to mention I'd be off the diet before you could blink your eye) if carbs were outta the picture. I take…

My stomach is my trouble spot too. I'd blame it on my baby, but I've never had a flat belly! :laugh: so far I've been focused on losing fat in general, so most of my exercise is cardio. But I think it's time for me to start thinking about toning a little more. I'm almost to "healthy" and should be 2 pounds from my 2/3 mark…

This is great to make using leftovers. I had fajitas last night, so I used the leftovers from that and some extra corn. You can make this ahead of time, doing everything up until the cheese step. Then when you're ready to eat, just add the cheese and go! My only complaint is that the sodium content is a little high, due to…

Usually the only thing that works is to think about dessert. I like to have a sweet bite in the evenings while I watch tv and whatnot, so a lot of times I know I need to work out if I want my treat. So I try to work out during the baby's nap because otherwise I'm stuck waiting til after 8pm.

does it give you an img code? when in doubt, can you save the picture to your computer and load it onto photobucket? at least on photobucket, i know you can load something with the img code...

Tues QOTD: I have NEVER been a breakfast eater. But my MFP friends all started ganging up on my that I need to eat :laugh: So now I try to make some eggs or just grab a yogurt with my morning coffee! So I *try* to eat breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack, dinner, and sometimes an evening snack/dessert (if I'm hungry and…

glad you had fun. welcome home and thanks for all your hard work!

Just a tiny jab of logic....when they walk out onto their back porch, they should be able to see your front porch uphill. If you can see them, they can see you. Personally, if I walked out back and could see my uphill neighbor's front window, I wouldn't do anything that I didn't want seen. In theory, they'd know they're…

I try to take advantage of the spare time when it happens. My life is generally not super hectic (in comparison to most people!) since I stay home with my daughter all day. Even when I have a lot of cleaning of company coming or whatever, my daughter still takes naps. Naps are god's gifts to moms! I use that hour or two as…

Guys, I am SOOOOO SORRY you all are only just now getting a question. TanyaPearce posted it on a seperate thread. So I am posting it here for everyone to answer. (And for those who are in other countries and it's already nearing midnight, I'm super sorry to you!) MONDAY QOTD: What tips can you provide to help stay on track…

I was out this afternoon, so I just saw this. Yes, the QOTDs should all be posted on the week 2 thread like they were last week.

I'm hoping we'll have our Monday post up soon guys.... In the meantime, please give a warm welcome to our new Team Black member, MaManeenCal !!! :flowerforyou:

that sounds painful :sick:

Everyone please give sarahkatara a warm welcome! She's our newest Team Yellow member!

No change this week. Furthermore, I did my measurements since I haven't done them in a month. I haven't lost weight OR inches??!?!?!!! I'm seriously discouraged now. Current Weight (As of today): 148.4 Challenge Goal Weight (for Sept. 1st): 130 Weight Category: Reduce! 9/1: **start of challenge** 151.4 9/8: 150.8 9/15:…

Thurs QOTD: I replaced sodas with teas and coffee. I replaced high calorie ice creams with 40 calorie fudge bars. Fri QOTD: I haven't really taken much off MFP's recipes, but I did see a good pumpkin spice muffin. Pumpkin Spice Muffins Ingredients: 1 box spice cake mix 16 oz pumpkin puree Mix the pumpkin and cake mix.…

I have curly hair and it's pretty. (It's usually just tossed up in a ponytail, sometimes flat ironed but it takes soo long!) I don't really care what anyone thinks. I'm hot just as I am, like it or not. :smile:

You mean a Falcons game! :laugh:

$100 on dinner $300 on seats at a sporting event (football or baseball, depending on the season) $80 on gas, parking, tolls, etc

Formulate how you want the group to work. Figure out all the details of how it will run. Troubleshoot any and every possible question or problem people will find in your plans. Post a thread asking for challenge members and people will respond. (I'm on the second round of my own personal challenge: Sexy in Six)

Thanks guys!

yes and yes.... My mother is resentful towards my sister, but that's a little more legitimate. (My sister has an eating disorder and drug addiction. She has a long criminal history and stole my mother's identity to rack up credit card debt. Upon being discovered, my sister severed all communication with our entire family…

as long as you're consistant with the SAME workout clothes each time, it shouldn't matter. i weigh myself naked. can't get more consistant than that.

Okay well first I have a confession! Being the organizer of a challenge has its perks. I totally made my team black because it's my absolute favorite color ever! haha! As far as picking my pic, I went back and forth between a few pics. I was debating between a black rose, black lips, and I wanted to find a good pic of…

Awesome job ladies! Falisha, thank you so much and enjoy NYC! I'll be sitting here, VERY jealous!!!
