TEAM THIN IT TO WIN IT HAS A NEW MEMBER!! unfortunately, because of her new job, ciarn has decided that she wont be able to fully complete the daily challenges and has dropped out of the challenge :/ but we have a new member ready to take her place and kick butt!! :tongue: everyone go say hi to lauralou23 :D

HEART RATE MONITOR. usually, the numbers the machines and MFP give you are wayyyyy off. and usually theyre overestimating by a long shot :/ if youre going to eat back your burned calorie,s you really need to know how much youre actually burning. as for dieting, FOOD SCALE!

hmm not sure but i used to use 5 hr energy, except every time i took one it was like taking a shot of vodka- DISGUSTING. now i used jack3d, its powder and sooo much cheaper , you can add as much or little as you want to water (within the GUIDELINES.) i only use one tiny scoop, if your stomach is sensitive id use 1/4 at…

yes! more details! more about how awesome we are~! :P

OH YEAH THATS RIGHT WHO WON IT WAS US BY A LANDSLIDEEEEEEEEEEE! EVEN WITH TWO PEOPLE MIA WE'RE AMAZINGGGGGGG

disagree. if youre eating fast food and muffins and all that bad ****, and you dont know thats why youre overweight, youre not JUST misinformed, youre somewhat of a fool. its just common sense. and at least she isnt talking about her at work. the woman clearly NEVER has been on MFP, so its not going to hurt her feelings.

id just tell her that she obviously has a terrible diet and thats why she isnt losing any weight.. DUH

id bring a granola bar just in case theres nothing healthy!

CHANGES FOR TEAM THIN IT TO WIN IT!!! snobuni08 hasnt logged in since tuesday, and i havent heard from her since then either about any of the following challenges. so we have replaced her :/ with josh (gmen82990) who is also my boyfriend :) ive been talking nonstop about the challenge and when i mentioned that a few…

ooh gotta try this!

ALWAYS disneyworld! maybe its just me but youre NEVER too old for disney. even my 17 year old brother agrees lol... best vacation everrrrrrrr universal ive never been to and i really dont care if i ever go

EXACTLY. thats what MFP wants you to do :) workout and eat the calories, or at least some of them. you have to move your body to lose weight and tone!

i literally never had stepped foot in a gym before, but my college had a gym so i started going at first i was only doing 15-20 minutes on the elliptical like 3-4 times a week

first off, not only is it POSSIBLE without surgery, but ive had friends who HAD surgery and saw NO change. one of my best friends had the lapband surgery, and only lost like 20 lbs. and another had the gastric bypass, but didnt eat right and didnt excersize, she lost weight but looks like a balloon with the air let out. i…

yeah youre done! and i hate you ahah jk. but seriously.. i feel like i eat NO veggies. :|

thanks guys! i hear what everyone is saying and it all makes sense. i guess i just needed to vent. i also talked to my mom, because its no secret what is going on with him. shes also best friends with his mom, my "aunt." anyway. i deleted the letter, i think it helped me enough just to write it, and it was definitely only…

it counts, but dont eat it back. its good for your muscles and to get the blood flowing, but you wont burn a significant amount of calories that way. :)

its terrible but my main goal with the letter was to make him quit working. i dont know enough about his addiction to know what hes doing and if he even wants to stop, but i know that the added stress of trying to keep the company's finances in check is killing my dad, and i really just think its liek DUH , all the money…

the part about this that resonated most with me was "write this and then burn it." thats probably what i will do, now. maybe this sounds terrible but im not close with him, he's just some loser who is stealing money from my dad. thats literally how i view him... i would have way more sympathy if he was working somewhere…

haha yeah cause thats WHAT HE IS... and no one is saying anything! its so unjust. someone needs to lay down the law. maybe its not my place but no one is doing anything, just giving him money and pretending everything is alright, thats called ENABLING.

i did.. we;ll definitely make it to 100 by monday!! WE'RE AWESOME

unfortunately im pretty sure thats how you get an accurate reading, because its readijng the heart rate by being close to it.. if i jump with mine too much, and it falls, it cant read my heart rate. :\ i know what you mean though, it IS annoying... might just be one of those "suck it up:" situations

jumping jacks and squats, hurray! 2 pts babyy

make your own stirfry with brown rice!

im 5'7 , weigh 203 lbs, and i just started the shred. of course its different for everyone, but i wear a heart rate monitor and 27 minutes of the shred video (which, oddly enough, is how long it ends up being) only burns 181 calories for me. thats probably because its cardio and strenght, so the heart rate goes down in…

im more than okay with that!!! also, on the supportive friends bit, awwwwwwwww :) luv ya too!

amen sisterfrienddd

to be honest, i think if you dont log in at LEAST every three days and report back to your team leader, you should be kicked off the team. 8 days is RIDICULOUS!! i mean, the whole point of a challenge is that you challenge yourself and hold yourself accountable to that challenge daily. missing one or two days is fine, but…

ooohhhh i like the first idea! i mean either would work but i like that lol

oohhh hopefully! but then when she comes back we gotta fill the spaces. what is WITH people?! if you join challenges, stick to them. if youre not serious about it, why get other people involved? i mean no offense, but this is kind of frustrating when youre in charge of calculating stuff :/
