These globe jump thingies. I can't watch the youtube video without thinking of the game "Frogger".

It had to be a man! They don't have to worry about bouncing and flopping in the chest area as much! Lol.

Just to help Joyous catch up, I have been good on everything all week and caught up to today on all my exercises. I have done 5 1/2 extra miles (I pledged 5) and hope to do a couple of more to add to the total. Everyone is doing wonderful! Go Team!

Yep! We're behind you Joyous!

Ha ha ha

Whoa! I was going to answer the same way Stephanie did, that I think both would make great Captains and maybe they could split up some duties so it wasn't so hard on one person......but I see you have already decided. Now I'm just all confused as you issued a challenge? Or was that another challenge from Gary?

Well that's good to know!

Someone posted a recipe for Kale chips the other day and I so want to try them now. There were tons of replies on how good they were. I've never tried Kale, but it made me want to try it.

I was talking about the double boxes around the quote....what are you talking about? :)

I am in love with Special K multi-grain crackers. You can have 24 of them for only 120 calories. They taste great and make a great snack, wonderful with tuna fish or a "chip" replacement for sandwiches.

Wait...wait....so all these years....I had no idea! I thought I was wearing what they call "pads" and come to find out I have "painters" which means they are "drop cloths"........... Daaaannnnggg

Also, if you have a television service that offers "On Demand", I have a free exercise channel. Right now on mine, they are playing level 1 of 30DS. I was going to buy it but decided to try it there first to see if I liked it. I really did like it and I can see where it is probably great to do for 30 days, but I decided…

Thanks Stephanie. He's been sick for a few years and just been going downhill. It was expected.

Everything done for the day and made up my swimmer's presses...gonna feel all that tomorrow!

Oh lol. There is a major difference between offended and various people tossing out different perspectives. I've seen no one here offended but offering great sides to two different coins. As to the second statement, I will gladly be guilty of that. I hope I never lose sympathy and empathy for people. I agree that people…

Some of these same people may actually be trying really hard, but don't understand the entire concept. Maybe they used to eat 8 slices of pizza for lunch and cut that down to 4. Maybe they used to eat 2 big-macs and fries and now they are only eating 1 cheeseburger for dinner. They might have normally ate 2 sausage…

Sorry, didn't check in last night. Ended up having to go sit in a hospital CCU waiting room all evening for a sick uncle. I am good on everything except I didn't get the swimmer's presses in. I'll work on them tonight hopefully. I did end up walking 4 1/2 miles yesterday.

The calorie burn for steps is different from person to person. It depends on your weight and the length of your stride for instance. I bought an inexpensive pedometer at a major retailer that keeps up with my steps and calories burned. I had to load in my weight and measure my normal walking and running stride.

I forgot about the recipe too. Ok, here's one of my favs right now because I love cornbread and was really bummed that I thought I was going to have to give it up until I found this one and it's super easy. 49 Calorie Cornbread Muffins 1 cup cornmeal 4 tbsp. low calorie mayonnaise 1 1/2 cups buttermilk Mix together and…

Lol. Fast food is hard! I did have Taco Bell the other day. They have a fresco menu that is low calorie. I had two chicken soft tacos for like 320 calories. Everyone also says that Hardees has put out a new turkey burger that is really good and I think they said about 480 calories, which compared to a normal burger is…

Awww.....Happy Birthday Stephanie! I hope it's wonderful and full of smiles!

That's what I was thinking too but we have had about 5 that have posted on here once or twice, they just don't yack like me! Lol.

Ok, I'm a retard and can't count...Lol. I actually went back and looked through the posts quickly. According to our list, we have 20 members, including Capt. Netty. I don't see where 3 of our members have ever posted anything. They may be emailing Captain and we don't know, but if that's the case, we need to know how many…

Great, great, great job this week everyone!!!!!! I'm very impressed with all of you! Now as far as the upping my anti? Uh...Uh...NO! Lol. I'm seriously going to be lucky to get all these exercises in so I'm going to stick with 5 extra miles. I do have a question. Do we actually have 20 other team members? I've only seen…

I am in for the 5 miles! Eeeks....did I just say that? Going to be tough with all these extra exercises but I will do my darndest. I do think adding all these extra exercises the 2nd week went a little excessive. For people that have been exercising, it's probably nothing, but for me who just started exercising last week…

Congratulations frg and S for the weight loss! You guys rock! Well I managed to stay under yesterday! It was touch-and-go...Lol. Got my water and exercise. My weigh in is: 167.4 which means I lost exactly 3 lbs!

We are heading out with friends tonight. I already have my water and exercise in, but I probably will not get to complete my diary until tomorrow and I am attempting to stay under, but not looking good with going out tonight! I am going to try on Saturdays to stay under since I started this challenge, but my normal one day…

I just started it Thursday with the basic DVD and I love it so far. You will do about 15 minutes of the basic steps and not feel like you are doing anything, but after the next 30, you will start to sweat and feel it. I worked on the basics the first 2 days and then today did 20 minutes of the basic steps then the 4, 5…

OMG! Some of the other teams are posting Week 2 challenges! Ima gonna die....

I started Zumba this week because I want to give 30DS a whirl but I figured I better work up to it! I'm going to try to start it September 1. Good luck with it and you can do it!
