Hey fellow smurfs. I hope everyone had a great day. I'm on my way out the door soon to play my first indoor soccer game of the year!! I play in a league that runs from now until April. Should be fun!!!! Great job everyone on the weigh in this week. Keep up the good work!! Shauna:flowerforyou:

I have given blood since being on MFP. I have read that you burn 650 calories over a 36 hour period to remake the blood you donated. I ate an extra 100 cals for 3 days to offset this. It might not be necessary but it didn't hinder my weightloss. I did work out the day I gave blood but before. And I made sure I had a few…

No worries Connie and Jeff. We all have our good weeks and our bad weeks. And I always find that after a bad week the next week is a great one...well usually any how! Hope everyone has gotten their weights to pdxmomof2!!! We had alot of people not weight in at all last week and that hurt our numbers alot more than anyone…

I'm all about babysteps. In the past I've jumped in with both feet and it was such a drastic change that I couldn't stick to it. I first started just staying with in my calories eating what I want but in moderation. Once I felt comfortable with that I started to try and get more of my calories from healthy food but still…

Hope everyone has had a fantastic day so far. I didn't really find out too much about my feet at the doctor today but he is sending me for blood work. He thinks I might have Gout. I thought Gout was totally different than it is but apparently it is when you have too much Uric Acid in your system and it crystalizes in your…

Morning all. Just saying a quick 'hi'. I've been having some real problems with my feet since I've been exercising so I'm off to the doctor this morning. I scared he's going to tell me to stay off them for a bit and then that will set me back. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I'll check in later to see how everyone is…

Even herbal teas?

Weekends are always the toughest for me too. It's always the time to go out for dinner or drinks with friends and those calories add up fast! I'm trying to prepare better for the weekends and make sure I get my exercise in to combat the extra intake of cals. I'm not always successful but I'm getting better. I think it's…

Hey everyone, I didn't see a thread started so thought I'd get it going. I'm not sure if we are doing daily threads or not but it seems as though sometimes we use a daily thread for more than a day so I thought I'd set this up for a week...see how it goes. I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I volunteered at a rodeo…

Welcome new Smurfs!!.....lol Glad to have you two on the team. Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Shauna:flowerforyou:

I know one cup of tea won't hurt. But all I want to do all day is drink hot beverages. I have a hard time drinking cold or luke warm water instead. I sometimes drink both and run to the bathroom all day...lol. I was just hoping someone had some suggestions to replace my water with.

How's it going today team? So sorry for your loss May Marie. Oue thoughts are with you. I need some suggestions.....I have a heck of a time frinking all my water during the colder months of the year. I much prefer a hot cup of tea to a bottle of water. Do any of you have any suggestions of what I can drink that is hot and…

Way to go Connie. You should be very proud of those numbers!!!! :drinker:

Ok, end of day 1 for my personal challenge. Under my calories by 15. check. Went to the gym for 1 hour. check. 8 glasses of water in. check. Now I just need to go to the gym 4 more times in 6 days, walk my dogs twice, and continue my water and calorie control for 6 more days. I can do it!!! lol :bigsmile:

Awww thanks. :blushing:

I know how hard it is to get on track and back on track once you've fallen off. I too have done Atkins, Weight Watchers, LA Weight Loss, Susan Sommers, Glycemic Index, Cabbage Soup, diet pills, Body For Life....I can keep going. :wink: I found I was always looking for a quick fix. I wanted to lose the weight fast. When the…

Welcome! :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: Welcome!

Welcome! :heart:

Welcome. You'll find lots of support and info here! Shauna:flowerforyou:

Glad to see you had time to post today Benson. I know how busy everyone is. We are all here for support! I am going to do a personal challenge this week and update you guys as to how it goes. It will probably bore you but if I feel I have to update you guys I'll be more accountable! 1.) Drink all my water 8 cups every day!…

Bump. Just incase anyone missed it.

Good Morning Connie and the rest of the Smurfs out there, It would be nice if some more people had the time to leave some messages here and add some support and comradeship. I do realize however alot of people work long hours and have busy families and really don't have time to spend on this site. It's probably tough…

I have done the percentages for every member of every team in alphabetical order and submitted it to Canelitas. I thought she was going to post it for everyone to see. I am not too sure how to post things from a spreadsheet or I would do it. Sorry. Shauna:flowerforyou:

[/quote] I bought the Dance Dance Revelution Hottest Party 2. It's the newest one I believe. All you need is the console, game, a bottle of water and a towel for your sweat! :happy: [/quote] :happy: And is it around 70 USD? [/quote] It was under $70 Canadian. (just for the game) Not sure how much it would be in the US. Not…

Hey everyone, Didn't see a thread started and it's already 9:40am my time!! I have been a bit absent in the past few days. I lost my wagon somewhere and it took me until today to find it!!! :laugh: :laugh: I had a pretty bad week as I'm sure you've guessed by the comment above. For the first time in this challange and in…

I'm not sure if you have access to a Nintendo Wii but Dance Dance Revelution is awesome!!! You can either just try to do the songs for however long you're looking to workout or there is a work out mode. I wear my HRM and burn between 400 and 500 calories in 45 minutes!! This of course playing by myself so I don't have to…

Loved this. I sent it to every woman I know! :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Well I didn't see a new thread so I'm assuming we're using this one? It has been a tough weekend for me. :grumble: Thanksgiving up here in Canada so that always means excess amounts of food and wine. I did endulge in both and think I'll regret it come Wednesday's weigh in! I think this will be the first time since I…
