Hello Diamonds, I didn't see my name on the posting for this week...In fact, I didn't see any red diamonds listed...is there another list somewhere out there? For those who are listed...congrats! Great job everyone! I look forward to doing this again in the next round!

I guess the last time I tried something new was joining MFP! I'm very predicable lately, so maybe I should take this question as a challenge to try something new this week!

I had chocolate for the first time this morning since June 1st!

I take my vitamins around 10am every morning, that's just me. When I don't eat first, I get nausious, so I wouldn't want to take them before bedtime.

Wow, I'm totally impressed and encouraged! I need to lose 159 more pounds...it's overwhelming to think about it! But I've set small goals and so far that has worked. Keep giving us updates, it reall encourages those of us who still have a way to go!

Feel free to add me, I love the support from my friends on MFP!

Looking for the town hall question :)

I say go black just because of those AWESOME SHOES!!! Have a blast :)

I agree with the others here. I used to eat my "ration" then watch the clock for two hours until I could eat again! It might also just be habit...you just miss putting something in your mouth. I chew gum sometimes to keep my mouth busy :)

My very first excited memory was going to Smoky Mountains and visiting the Ghosttown in the sky. My mom dressed me and my brother up in western clothing and we watched a gun fight in the town street. When the gun went off, I threw my coke all over the person behind me!

QOTD: Friday: What do you want to be when you grow up? I always dreamed of being a motivational speaker. It might sound silly to some people, but I love to boost morale and give encouragement. There is nothing like seeing a woman who has been beat down all her life lose the low self esteem and undertake a whole new…

I changed my plan of exercise this week to include more circuit training and inside cardio using my HRM. I had been increasing my walking from 3 miles to 4 miles an hour, but it has backfired; causing my shins and arches to ache all the time. Last week was really painful! I will continue to use my base of 1200 calories…

Wow, I was embarrassed and thought I was just crazy... :P Thanks for sharing! I have to say that I get emotional quite often during my walks. Maybe its the quietness, allowing your mind to relax and think about goals, failures, stresses - maybe it's a way of releasing that stress - that is always an emotional process for…

Hi Everyone! I am soooo excited to get this challenge started! I am getting over a foot injury this week, but I've still been able to burn calories, so I'm hopeful I'll see results on Friday! I'm very excited to be a part of the Little Diamonds and the RED DIAMONDS are going to ROCK !!! Good luck everyone!

I've been hearing about weight training and have steered clear because I don't want huge arm muscles. I won the bowflex in the divorce, so I guess I'll start using it LOL. Seriously, my son uses it every day and he's sharp :).

Don't quit! I follow these steps now, because I used to weigh every day and it seemed that the weight kept creeping back on even though I was busting my butt! 1) drink at least 6 glasses of water per day - this flushes out impurities and extra sodium from processed food 2) Eat enough calories. It doesn't make any sense to…

I was using moderate dancing as my indicator

WTG to all the diamonds who helped with our total loss of 129 pounds! It takes everyone working hard as a team to win and that is what we did! BTW, I agree to using weight percentage instead of pounds lost...it just seems more fair and is more motivational for everyone involved! Good luck next round, Ladies :)

QOTD Friday 12/8: I see a lot of people on here that comment that they are just aiming to get healthy. This is all well and good, and definitely the right attitude, but I believe a lot of people are also on here so they can feel more attractive after losing weight (myself included). So my question is this: do you think…

OmG! I forgot the belly button lint! plhhu! fur ball! hehe:)

Once per week at the same time of day. I agree to everyone's morning ritual, LOL. I weigh every Friday morning. The weekends are the easiest to cheat so then I have the rest of the week to make up for it. Some people like to weigh on Mondays to avoid cheating on the weekends, but I like to cheat every once in a while…

Thursday QOTD: We are about to finishe this challenge and essentially be on our own again, so can you give us an example of the best meal you made or had which was within your given calorie allowance? My best idea came with wanting pizza but not the calories so here's what I tried: Portabello Pizza One large portabello…

I love the Harry Potter novels...much better than the movies :). I'm also into motivational books from Zig Ziglar...SEE YOU AT THE TOP...my favorite :)

turkey breast with a little light dressing for dipping :)

WOOHOO! WTG Partner sistermoooon!!!! another 5 pounds lost! Blue team, you rock! Nice job! Congratz to all the Diamonds in the Rough!

4th August 2011, here is my QOTD: Who has been your INSPIRATION (not only in Weight Loss but in any facet of Life)? My inspiration has been my son, Wyatt. We worried about him as a baby because he didn't say a word until he was 4 years old. But when he finally started talking, he was speaking in complete sentences and…
