8. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week? I weighed in at 185.7 I lost .7 this week. But, this is following a week where I lost 2 lbs, so I would have been happy to take any loss. I am also down another half inch on my waist and hips, so there is lots…

7. What is your least favorite healthy food? Brussel sprouts

Well said!

6. What is your favorite unhealthy food? Vegetarian pizza I think would take the cake, but their are plenty of close seconds.

5. What is your favorite healthy food? This tends to fluctuate over time. But, right now I am loving chicken and sweet potato drizzled with garlic yogurt dressing.

4. Have a vegan day today. No meat, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products whatsoever. Give it a try! Sorry, this is not for me.

3. Is your UGW in an unhealthy range of BMI? Nope. It within the middle of the healthy range. However, I am a... I'll know when I get there kinda person. I might be happy at a higher or lower weight, but it is tough to imagine at the size I am right now.

Wow! I don't know how I forgot all about this in one day! But here we go... Day 2: My dream body is that of a fitness model like Andrea Brazier. I want to be extremely fit and muscular without loosing my femininity.

This is cool! I am in! Day 1: I am 5'8, 188.4 pounds and I am trying to get between 135-140 pounds. I am losing weight to look better, feel better, and to live a long and successful life.

Started lifting heavy today. Nice to see another example of the body waiting for me.

I agree with the idea to get gortex shoes. I found a pair by nike the other day, but solomon does make lots of high quality gortex stuff, so those ones would probably be pretty good. You can also find online chains for your running shoes (just like you would put on your car tires) to prevent yourself from slipping in harsh…

YOU BETTER NOT EAT A SINGLE CARB EVER AGAIN. THOSE BUGGERS WILL KILL YOU!!!

I frequently eat these to satisfy chocolate cravings. Love em.

I'd say keep going with week 1. You might be OK cardiovascularly, but you also need to worry about conditioning your body for running too. It's only a couple of days. Get em done and feel good about completing the program as a whole. Have fun!

Way to go!! It makes me so happy to see people not letting their weight limit them from getting out there and DOING things!! You should be very proud of yourself and keep up the great work!

Mmmm pretzels! Good idea!

Thanks! I am always under on carbs, so I will try and incorporate more of these.

Peanut butter and avocados are both high in fat... healthy fat I know... but I am doing OK with healthy fats as it is... Smoothies are basically fruit.

strong with a bit of fat free milk :)

Thanks everyone. I think I have acquired a good group of friends now. I am very supportive of my friends and so I want to keep my group small, so that I have time to be attentive and helpful to the people on my list. All the best and thank you for your support and interest.

Agreed!

If I know I am going out, I will try and work out extra sometime before or after the social event. That way I am OK to have an extra glass of wine. If its an open bar wedding, I try to stick to low cal drink (ex. liquor and water [or carbonated no cal or diet drinks). I wouldn't try to avoid bad foods at the table, I just…

185-195 is normal for someone of your age. Maximum Heart Rate equals: (Age 30 or below) 220 - age Keep on trucking!

Gymnastics... I love the mixture of art and athleticism!

Chocolate :) Followed closely by coffee... caffeine addict here!

If you are staying within your calorie limit, you are unlikely to put weight back on... and when you're on vacation, I don't think you could ask for much better. It is extremely difficult to stick to a regime when you are out of your comfort zone.

I have an end goal set on my ticker, but interim goals on my profile page :)
