J_g4ever I haven't heard of that (the EA sports active). I'll have to check it out. I'm always up for something different and new. I've been very busy with work and my mother in the hospital but I've managed to get in all of my water every day and exercise. I actually went to the gym this last Sat and stayed for 3…

Good Morning Blues :smile: Well I managed to drink all my water yesterday and get in my exercise in. Off to a good start. Wishing everyone a great day!

Hey - where did everyone go? Hope you're all OK - just busy I guess. How's everyone doing?

Hi Everyone! Speaking of the BL - I missed the ending because some bad storms rolling through we lost satellite. Can someone fill me in on what happened at the end? I saw up until the end of the marathon. Also - another challenge for now or later. To stay within you calorie limits with NO cheating. (Like me - I'll eat…

Hi Everyone! Just checking in with the "new" blue" team. I know we don't officially start until tomorrow but: I managed to get my water in today but I might have cheated. I used some of that crystal light drink mix to make it taste better. Does that count? Hope so :smile: I also got in 45mins of circuit training/cardio and…

What a list! I'm with you on the water thing - I have a hard time with that one! Does adding that zero calorie drink mix to water count? It's easier for me that way. Best of luck to everyone!

Hi Everyone! Sorry I've been MIA. Been busy with mom in the hospital. She's still in there but I'd rather have her there where she can get immediate help than at home. Thanks for all your well wishes! That being said - I had a few Sat night mainly to reduce my stress. I've been feeling horrible, guilty, and all that goes…

Hi Everyone! Sorry Ilve been MIA. I've been on the site but not my best as far as exercising and eating right. My mother has stage 4 breast cancer and I had to take her into the ER last Tues morning for complications. She's still in there but I know she's getting the best care. All that said, I've been "on the run". I saw…

Hi Everyone - happy day #3 :smile: Unfortunately I spent Day #2 in the ER. My mom has stage 4 breast cancer and wasn't doing well so I rushed her in. I was there until about 10pm last night. If a shot was available I may have considered it! Talk about stressful. I guess another way to look at it is - she needs me and I…

I've been considering Chalene Xtreme. But can't decided between that and the P90X. How do you like the program? Did good for day one and off to day 2. I tend to do great during the weekday. It's the weekends that I "blow" it. So the big challenge will be this weekend. But I'm bound and determined to make it. It is quite…

I'm ready to join too. I'm in for 30 days. I do fine all week - exercise, eat right and then the weekend comes and I blow it. I'm ready to make the change and lose the last 15 to 20lbs that don't want to let go :smile:

Great Job Sanifrey!! :smile:

I'd love to join you guys if that's OK. I'm in need of some motivation also. I think I've hit a little road block. (I just don't feel like working out - kinda down for some reason). Do we want to check back with each other on this thread?

Rach - those are too cute :laugh: Sorry to hear about alot of us having a hard time. It must be something in the air. I've been super busy all year and was looking forward to a nice quiet weekend. I've been managing to exercise and eat right until yesterday. My hubby and I went out to eat and of course I didn't make the…

I think we all have done that - I know I have. I plan during the week and basically have a routine I follow. Not to mention while I'm at work, there's really no temptations unless I decide to "go out" for lunch which I try not to do. The weekend is a whole different story. I try to plan my weekend but you know how that…

Great Job Sanifrey - Did I see 20lbs total since the beginning? You should be proud. Share your secret :smile: I managed to get in a Cathe step routine tonight for 60 min - I least I burned 450 calories. Kiss them goodbye. Goodnight team :happy:

Hi Everyone! I'm glad to report that I did make it through that lunch date today. I was good and ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. That can't be but so bad, right? Can't wait for BL tonight - should be good! :smile:

Hi Blue team - Happy St Patty's Day! I've been MIA this week - buried with tax season. So I did a week's worth of reading on this thread. I joined in with the introplay and need to explore that some more to see how it works. I think that will be a good motivater for us all! At least I've been getting in 60 minutes of…

Rach - sorry to hear about your car accident. NO jelly beans for breakfast :smile: Hopefully everything will go smooth.

That is definately a harder DVD - but I love it. The Yoga one is pretty hard also - really makes you work! I was mislead - I thought yoga was easy ! Hope everyone has a great Friday & weekend. It's going to be in the upper 70's to 80 here - I'm lov'in it :smile:

Hi Everyone Sorry I've been MIA I'm been too busy. I'm lucky that I've lost a pound and no exercise this week. I met a new tax client that happens to be a personal trainer.so I'm signing up with her. She is tiny (height & weight) and seem to have that "kick my *kitten*" attitude. Things seem too happen for a reason. Maybe…

Hey Blue Team I'm still here although i feel like crap for not working out today. Tax season has offically arrived and I have no time at all - I did make it thought the week at 45 min of kickbox/cardio so I'll make up for tonight tomorrow. I can't wait for tax season to end but I love it at the same time since I have my…

Sorry about the cramps - I thought BC was supposed to help that?? I know how you feel. And it seems the older you get the worse they get. Check out recipes on Allreceipe.com and kraft.com . There are some good ones on there that are easy and inexpensive and good. They have the nutritional info posted also. :smile:

Happy Thursday Blue Team! :smile: I don't know about everyone else - but I'm ready for the weekend to get here. It seems like this week has been very stressful! Have a great day everyone! :flowerforyou:

Thanks for all the info everyone! Needless to say I couldn't stand it and had to go home and weight last night (which for me is bad to weight at night anyway). It's is funny how 3 lbs can disappear. So they weren't "real" to begin with. I'll try to do better with water and watch my sodium intake. Banks - glad to see your…

Good Morning Blue Team! Hope everyone had a good week :smile: I can't wait to see the results. How many people do we have left on the team. Seems like the postings are fading away. Great job on the 3lbs j_g4ever :drinker:

I've heard about the water weight gain with sodium but I guess I'm guilty of "that doesn't happen to me" - well I'm thinking it does. I'm gonna try to watch it and drink more water. And not weight during mid week - I do that because I'm part of the biggest loser here and we turn in our weights on Wed. I'll just give my Sat…

Thanks for the advice. I didn't even think about the sodium intake. I'll have to watch that closer. I know I should be drinking more water also. And thanks to Destined for the realistic # 14,000 calories. I know I didn't eat anywhere near that and have been working out every day. So I know it can't be "real weight" I've…

Good Morning everyone. I hope someone out there has words of advice or maybe even answers. I don't know what's causing wieght differences within days on the scale. I'll weight myself Sat am (which seems to be the best time) and then by Tues or Wed of the week I've gained weight back. This time it was 4 lbs. :sad: I've lost…

Hey everyone - I just got Jillian's new DVD's in the mail today so I had to check at least one of them out. I was going to do them both but after the one (the cardio fat burning one) I decided that was enough for today. Kicked my butt. But I only burned 310 calories after 55 minutes according to my HRM. I'm soooo jealous…
