  • Hey ladies! I'm alive. Had a crazy end of the week/weekend. I'll update hopefully this afternoon with the full details, but wanted to do my Monday morning call out. I had a few pages to skim through, so i might have missed someone. These are those I think I haven't heard from: Nava Laura Katie Lauren Kristi Joann Katheryne…
  • My favorite foods, eh? I'm going to skip the dessert issue, cause that's a whole other thing In no particular order - a really good veggie pizza - baked ziti - caprese salad (btw, making one, with brown rice tonight, and I've made it twice before, but can't find the effin' recipe i used!) - grilled vegetables - grilled…
  • Victoria- I'm totally rockin the chobani vanilla and banana this morning (sans the peanut butter, but that sounds yum)!
  • Katheryne- the boot situation KILLS me! Even when I was smaller, I've always had large calf muscles, and no cute boots ever fit! Even some expanded width in the calf ones still don't work. Super depressing, cause i'd like some cute ones! Hailie- insanity, is well, insane. VERY intense fast cardio, which is pretty high…
  • I apologize for not responding to everyone, because I'd really like to, but just don't have the time at the moment, but wanted to touch base and let you know how things are going. Back on the INSANITY train. Today was day 2 of it. My calves were hurting a bit today after day 1. Note to self: do not wear heels to work after…
  • Laura- I added your weight to the chart, so I have it for next week Bobbie- I might have screwed up and used the wrong weight. Do you want me to change it on the chart, so ti's more accurate for next week's chart? Hailie- great pic of you!!
  • This week's weight chart, ahoy! Much better turnout than some past challenges-- thanks to all who are sticking around and posting! Name / Starting Challenge Weight / Last Week's Weight / This week's weight (difference) Kristina 190.4 190.4 191.2 (+0.8) Victoria 194 192 192 (0) Kendal 212.6 213 212.4 (-0.6)…
  • Weigh in this morning was a little bit less than yesterday, but still not where I wanted: 191.2, which is 0.8 up from last week. *grumbles* A bit frustrating that I ate pretty well except for a meal one day, and one, well, pretty much whole day. I think the big thing is exercise. Need to step it up this week. Those long…
  • Lacey- yep, I was aware of the return policy. Made me think twice about some outfits. These are both returnable for credit if they don't work. It's that time! Monday morning call out. I have no gotten weights from these peeps (or have somehow missed): Sarah (I saw your note about weighing in today) Laura Pam wigglentwink…
  • Kerry- way to go with the 10K and the speed! You're putting us runners to shame! Victoria- i haven't officially given up on the 1/2, but it's increasingly unlikely I stepped on the scale this morning and it was up to 192, and I seriously said "what the f***?" I had two not very decent days of eating, but I had had a day's…
  • Hailie- try best you can! Made a pretty yummy dinner considering I just took a bunch of stuff I had around the house... cooked some brown rice and let it cool, then threw it in a saute I had made with chickpeas, fresh spinach, diced tomatoes, and brussel sprouts, with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar. yums!
  • Hello all! I've read everything you posted, but too much to catch up on! Thanks for everyone who has posted her weight so far. Keeping track on my chart! I had two pretty bad eating days in a row, but, I logged everything, which is progress. Only Thursday was really a major slip up on my part... I ordered pizza, darn it.…
  • I seriously can't keep up with you gals, but sounds like there's great conversation going on! Lots of interesting info, and Amy, your comment about losing weight in your nether regions gave me a good chuckle. I was noticing a subtle change there before I gained some of the weight back. Today's been going all right. I think…
  • Hailie- there are plenty of gyms in town close to the U, but also you have U rec centers that you can use as well. Plus, it's nice to run around town as well. Kerry- I've thought about some more minimalist shoes, but I think I probably still need a fair bit of support. don't over-run in them to start. your feet will feel…
  • I have a short reprieve this morning at work, so will try to respond to as many of you as possible-- chatty ladies!! First, my check in for yesterday: 1480 eaten / 261 exercise calories / 19 OVER... I'll take it. Just dog walks yesterday, but I'm thinking about a run this afternoon if it's not too humid. I really need to…
  • Hey ladies! Won't get a chance to respond to all of you, but I did read over most of your posts. Glad to hear from everyone. Here's my check in for the day: 1538 eaten / 310 exercise calories / 28 OVER. I probably ate more than that, but I tried my best to count well... always hard when you go out. Lunch I had a chipati,…
  • Checking in for today: 1265 eaten / 333 exercise calories / 268 left. Pretty good eating, calorie-wise, but I could have used a few more veggies. Crazy week ahead. Tomorrow isn't going to be a great eating day... I know this. Catered lunch and then team dinner. Yikes! Will try and make the best decisions I can. Work is…
  • Darn you (strike that out) Thank you Lacey (and Amy) for pointing me again to ideeli. This is going to be extremely dangerous for me. Checking in for the day. Again, not the best day in terms of eating (it was too carby, and more than I needed), but MAJOR improvement over what I was eating. 1328 eaten / 273 exercise…
  • Check in from yesterday: 1525 eaten / 285 exercise calories / 40 OVER... again, not too shabby. Considering it was pastry-catered breakfast. I had half a muffin and half a pastry and lots of fruit, and had jimmy johns for lunch (no mayo!), it wasn't bad and MUCH better than my most recent Fridays, which have been bad food…
  • I think I got everyone's weight from this week so far. Just a reminder to everyone to get their weights in by Monday morning. I'll post a call out on Monday for those who I haven't heard from. I skimmed over the posts, so this is just from memory Amy&Lacey- loving all the dresses you ordered. Lacey, I especially like the…
  • Yes, I'm still alive. Still super busy with the work move, but wanted to post my weekly weight: 190.4, same as last. At least it isn't a gain, plus I'm changing my weigh-in days to Friday, and my last weigh-in was Tuesday morning, so it's only a couple of days. For yesterday: Ate 1475 / exercise calories 238 / over by 37.…
  • Hey ladies. Sorry I didn't get a chance to post earlier today. I also haven't read all the posts, but will! Moving day at the office was pretty crazy, but my office is pretty dang sweet. I just wanted to stay accountable, as I said I would and post my numbers from yesterday: 1516 eaten / 214 exercise calories / 102 OVER. I…
  • Love that so many of you went back and addressed how you did with regards to your goals from last challenge. Let's just say, it was pretty much a big fail for me, but I will certainly have to post at the beginning of next challenge how I did with my goals this time around. Makes sense if you make the goals, to see how well…
  • Checking in for yesterday, like a good girl: 1552 calories eaten / 845 exercise calories earned / 493 remaining I double worked out yesterday. I ran in the morning with Emma, but I didn't do the full three miles I should have. I was running late and was getting pretty hot, so crapped out at 2.5m, but close enough. That did…
  • Hosanna- welcome! This is a great group... just jump right on into the conversation! Congrats on your upcoming wedding! As for weighing in, people like to weigh in on different days, so I ask that you post your weekly weight sometime between Friday and Monday morning. I usually on Monday morning post a call out of those…
  • Check in for yesterday, because clearly, this is what works. Must.log.everything. 1195 eaten / 238 exercise calories / 243 remaining Only exercise yesterday was 2 Emma walks. Ate too little (which is a change for me). Was planning on a small snack last night, but my power went out, and I didn't want to open the fridge or…
  • And here are our results from our six-week "Fryin' the Fat" challenge (I'm just doing the whole challenge, not weekly-- don't worry if this week was a bad week (i'm looking at Lacey with her sodium fiasco), it'll drop off quickly): Name / starting challenge weight / ending challenge weight (difference in pounds, % body…
  • Just popping in quickly to say Happy Birthday to Miss Victoria. I :heart: you!!
  • Kendal- the picture definitely cracked me up. I certainly feel that way sometimes when I'm running! I'm sorry to hear about you not getting the job. More will come along! Pam- just get back on the wagon... fess up to the scale in the morning (it could be painful-- mine certainly was) but take it as motivation to move your…
  • This week's chart: Name / Challenge start / last week/ this week (difference) Kristina / 183.4 / 183.6 / 188.2 (+4.6) Victoria / 190 / 189.25 / 192 (+2.75) Kendal / 214.8 / 215 / 212 (-3.0) Lacey / 209.8 / 209.6 / 210 (+0.4) Amy / 199 / 197.2 / 192.6 (-4.6) Sarah / 208.4 / 208.2 / 207.4 (-0.8) Hailie / 258.4 / 256 / 254.2…
