  • Respect! Just a little bit...Just a little bit...
  • I'm trying to squeeze in some extra workouts before Thursday, and of course Thursday morning I'm running in the Turkey Trot 5K!! I don't think 3.1 miles will give me enough calories for all the eating I'm going to be doing, but it's better than nothing!
  • If you had inflexible elbows you would be like a life-size Skipper doll.... She seems to do pretty well...I'll go with elbows. :wink:
  • I normally weigh every morning, but I gave up the scale all of last week and it was SO nice not having to worry and stress on whether my weight had gone up or down from the previous day. I don't deal well with fluctuations! Plus I enjoyed not having to stand around freezing in my skivvies while standing on the scale-HeHe!!…
  • I've got to bump this for later...This is my life story, I swear! I am definitely a yo-yo-er...And I would love to join your "no yoyo" group! LoL!!! I'll be visiting this again! Oh, and good job on your 1 week! That's a lot!!
  • What about the Biggest Loser from last year, Ali? She still looks AMAZING, and it's been...what? 6 months since the show ended?? She's obviously doing something right. She hasn't gained any weight back.
  • Ya know, I've never in my life used a Stair Master...I might try it tonight at the gym...
  • Try to log in some extra exercise...Burning some extra calories will help you feel better, plus you've got to eat something for supper!!

  • I'm in! I am SO going to lose 2 pounds before December 1...Who knows, maybe 3!!
  • Last night was day 7 of not eating past 8:00!! And today is day 7 of no soda...Yay!
  • I can't WAIT to be in the 150s...I hoping to reach them by the middle of December. I don't know how I'm doing though because I've been avoiding the scale!! Good job on meeting your mini-goal! Keep up the great work! :drinker:
  • Take it from someone who has been battling bulimia for 5 years now...It doesn't work, and it DESTROYS your health. I am so worried about heart/internal problems, but I keep putting off the doctor because I'm scared to know. If you're anything like me, facts about the damage you will do to your body by throwing up don't…
  • I have not been drinking as much water as I need to be...Probably not even 64 oz a day! After my 100th trip to the bathroom, I was thinking 'Man, I sure have had a LOT of water today'...But then I really thought about it and added it up...I've only had 3, well, now 3.5, bottles of water today...And I'm thinking that's a…
  • Uh-Oh...So if you're trying to get your thighs bigger with weight training, does that mean I should stop if I want my thighs smaller? I mean, I know a pound of muscle is smaller visually than a pound of fat...But I think I might be adding muscle to my already chubby thighs and just making them bigger! HaHa...Probably not,…
  • Yes!! I love it!! :laugh:

  • I went jean shopping during my lunch break, and I was resigned to the fact that I would be buying a pair of size 12 jeans. While I would love to wait so I could buy a smaller pair, I need new jeans! So I grabbed a couple of pairs of dark wash jeans (for the slimming effect, ya know?) and headed into the dressing room...the…
  • What class do you teach? I wanna be in it!! :happy:
  • I experienced this a couple of years ago...I was going to the gym or walking daily and lost only 2 pounds in 5 weeks. Then I stopped working out, started eating whatever I wanted (while watching portion sizes) and the pounds came FLYING off-I'm talking about .5-1 pound/day. Now I'm working out and TRYING to eat healthier…
  • Found this on the MSN Health and Fitness website...Interesting! The Biggest Loser Diet meal plan calls for three-meals and two-snacks per day. It breaks down to 45% complex carbohydrates, 30% lean protein, and 25% fats. Here's what one sample day might look like on the Biggest Loser Diet meal plan: BREAKFAST 1 cup berries…
  • I'm trying to get 1300-1400 calories a day, but I haven't been eating all of my exercise calories. (I know...I know...But there has been so much controversey lately I was just going to try it. Obviously not everybody agrees with eating your exercise cals.) I guess I'll go check my BMR and see what that number is and maybe…
  • True, my breakfast choices probably weren't the best...But I normally have 2 slices of whole wheat toast, an apple, and yogurt and I'm fine. The only thing different this morning were the pretzel twists. I am downing a bottle of water as I type...And my urge to eat isn't as strong...But I could tear into the lunch I packed…
  • I woke up this morning SO HUNGRY...And of course I was running late for work so I grabbed breakfast to-go, which was 10 Honey Wheat Pretzel Twists (110 calories), a large apple (100 calories), Yogurt (110 calories), and FF/SF Hot Chocolate Mix (25 calories). Well, I ate ALL of that, and I was still hungry! So I hate my mo…
  • I agree that if one is eating 1200-1500 calories a day, then lowering their calorie intake when they hit a plateau is not the best move. But, Yellow Pepper did make a good point-Hasn't it been said that once you lose a significant amount of weight you need to look at your calorie goals/needs and adjust them accordingly? So…
  • I'm don't really have a training routine for a tri, but my dad did a tri and last year did the Iron Man in Arizona, and let me just tell you, the training in TIME CONSUMING-I hope you're really dedicated! On any given day, his routine would be to wake up and bike before work...Normally 50 miles or so, and then swim during…
  • I think Vicky is going to be really nasty to Amy...Did y'all see on the commercials how she leaves a note on her door talking about revenge or karma or something on that line...At least I think that's what's going on. I'm worried for Amy! Something crazy better happen and Vicky better GO HOME!!!!:explode:
  • Mmmm! Thanks for the ideas! I'm hungry now :smile:
  • What are some tasty little goodies that I can make and package as gifts?? We have such a big family, there's no way we're buying something for everyone. So we were thinking of doing some baked goods and giving them as holiday gifts. But I want something a bit more special than just some cookies thrown in a bag-Any ideas??
  • That's what I'm screamin'!! Okay...Or a T-Shirt...LoL! Love my race tees!!
  • Eww! Wine! This would be so easy for me because I think wine is disgusting!! And then my wish would be for chocolate and cheese to be calorie free :bigsmile:
  • I ran in the Route 66 Quarter Marathon yesterday morning, and my girlfriend texted me today and told me that I got 3rd in my age group and that I am listed under the "awards section"!! An award (no clue what it is!!) is going to be delivered to my home...I'm so pumped! I had no idea I did that well! Yay! :happy:
