Great job on the 25 lb loss. Its amazing when we can compare the difference that way. Keep it up.

ok so if my math is correct or calorie count is correct the noodles are about 2 oz. (I weighed them separately) So that makes just the pasta 200 calories.

What did you do for the 45 minutes. I think if your effort was there and your heart rate was up you could come close to that. Everyone here talks about Heart Rate Monitors that could help you check while working out on the wii. They have one at Wal-Mart for $20.00. Wishing you good health.

great job on the switching. Keep it up they will get use to it sooner or later.

I'm sorry that you are having troubles with your friends. I think that I would go out and use that opportunity as a place to say how you are feeling. I know its hard to discuss some of these feeling with friends but you might have to if you want to keep them. Who knows you might encourage them to make some changes too. If…

She's right on with the amount of fiber. (20-35) I just read about it in Family Circle magazine that if you are (sorry) feeling constipated though to much fiber actually worsens symptoms like bloating and stomach pains. They say for that the best action is exercise. (Just an FYI I know you weren't really asking about that.

hey there. I hope that your time is here is great. So far I'm loving everything about this site. Good luck. Wishing you great health.

this sounds so delish! I'm gonna try it tonight.

I love it!!!!! I had to read it out loud to by husband. He laughed too. But all joking aside that's progress. Victory small or big is victory!! Way to go. :wink:

awesome! I didn't find these until now. I'm super glad I did. Last challenge I did made me workout all weekend but I did it. Thanks!

OK I can try but double exercise might now happen cause I workout (cardio) for an hour so maybe double intensity or at least up the intensity cause I already to that pretty high too. But the will power and double water sounds right up my alley.

William Sullivan will be at the Salem Public library with pictures from hikes tomorrow i believe. I know he's been there before too. It was in the statesman journal this morning.

sweetie where do you go to hike? I'm looking for some places to go with my kids (ages 14, 15).

Awesome I'll be sure to check it out after I'm done here. I went to McDowell Creek Park. Its so so pretty and some of it was challenging not hard but a good challenge especially on the stairs going up. :tongue: But all the waterfalls make it worth it.

that it would its a beautiful day isn't it?

I agree that we Oregonians are lucky its so beautiful here. Especially the Willamette Valley we are just an hour away from the ocean about an hour away for the big city (my town is anyway), 2 hours away from snow and dessert type terrain. We are truly blessed.

Any part of Oregon is pretty good since it doesn't take much time to get to most of it. The Willamette Valley is probably the best since I live here.

I know this was posted a while ago but where in the gorge did you go? I love hiking and live in Oregon. As a child we went to my uncles property and went through the gorge all the time to get there. How long is the hike you went on? Thanks ! Wishing good health.

Has anyone here gone hiking around Oregon before. I love to hike. (Just a little worried:ohwell: about wild animals but I'm ok with it most of the time) If you do where do you go?

so I'm hoping on board if that's cool. I will be 37 in just over a week.

Maybe you could "rent" one from a co-worker for a week and see how it works for you.?

off to get in my workout!!!! Gonna go early.

In a little town outside of Salem. Isn't this a beautiful Oregon day!

Hey no big deal at least your still at it. We should challenge each other again this coming weekend. It was good for me. I feel amazing today. I won't be able to workout as long as I like to today my daughter has dance class so unless DH gets off on time I might just get in about 45 minutes. :frown: But I guess since she…

Hey there fellow Oregonians. Just started here about two weeks ago. Decided to see who's from my own state. I love it here. Hope everyone is doing well. Wishing you all good health.

Sunday workout done!!!! WOW! I think I needed this challenge more than you could know. 65 mins. on treadmill weight training today as well. I DID IT!!!!!!! :laugh:

That is just how it works. Your body has to adjust to the loss. You will lose again soon. Keep up the good work.

that sounds scrumptious

Just finished my workout for the day in the gym. 80 mins on the treadmill 725 calories burned!!!!!! Heather without your challenge I might not have done this. Thanks!!!!!! Also washed my car today but I can't find calorie burn for that lol.
