Does Team 14 have a separate thread. . . didn't find one in the search. Gonna do my squat kicks this afternoon!

Thanks, in my own personal experiences with scales, weighing is never a good indication of progress.

Actually, it's not, but thanks for trying. I'm not trying to see what I'd look like, just what is physiologically possible! :)

I'm not sure what weight hoop to start at, or which brand is a good brand. I used them at my old gym, and it was great, but my current gym doesn't have them {Planet Fitness doesn't have much of anything besides machines and free weights }

Healthy eating and a combo of strength training and cardio 4-5 times a week (I use a HRM to get into my fat burning zone). However, I've been fit before, so I think my body had some memory and bounced back a little faster. Remember, everyone's different. Good luck :)

Anyone use this one? http://www.amazon.com/Weighted-Sports-Hula-Hoop-Weight/dp/B00309ZEB8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1314886061&sr=8-5

By the way, I'm not into corseting! ;)

Well, my dad plied with a lot of candy growing up, but no, I don't blame him-especially since I don't have a sweet tooth. I blame myself. I like to eat.

I think Kim Kardashian's figure is attainable for me. . .

No, I never get bloated and fat during my period. (Where's the sarcasm font?) ;)

Yeah, I know the feeling.

Hi, I'm Faith. This is my second attempt at a challenge. . I really need to be challenged because I already exercise, eat healthy, read labels, have a trainer, etc. So, I need something different from what I'm already doing. I don't weight myself, I only measure. I'm 2/3 of the way to my first goal, after which I'm…

Ok, so since I'm not at school yet, instead of taking the bus today to go to the coffee shop that is about 3/4 of a mile from my house, I walked there and walked back.

I just meant if you already take the stairs, you could potentially go up and down then back up to add a little more exercise (unless you're walking with classmates and will feel silly or something).

I have another mini challenge for the rest of the week for everyone (since this challenge isn't official until September): When you're at school, take the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator. "I already do that!" you say. Well, go up and down them twice then ;) "I take all of my classes on the first floor," you say.…

So, last night I looked at my school's recreation center group exercise calendar, and I added every possible class I might be interested in taking to my own google calendar. The options I'm interested in are an ab class, a bodypump class, yoga, pilates, spinning, and a fullbody workout type thing. I figure I can just look…

Raisins are good for you! Eat them! :)

Good luck with your first day of school!

I am planning on making some spaghetti squash today, and I'm going to toss with with tapenade. We'll see how it turns out.

Finished up the week with a tater tot binge last night. Did not stay under carbs/fat for the past couple of days. I think I'm not going to focus on that too much for now. As long as I'm under my calories and eating enough veggies, I'll be fine.

Nothing. I let my curls fro out and go wild. I guess if it was getting in my eyes, I would just use good old fashioned bobby pins.

Awesome. I canned tomato marmalade this week, and right now have fig preserves on the stove. . .

Only if it's a power walk ;) Do what YOU think is exercise. If walking 30 minutes a day isn't something you've been doing regularly outside of the gym, I think it's perfectly acceptable to count it. Maybe get a set of ankle weights to add resistance?

Worked out with my trainer today. Did enough tricep exercises to totally kill my triceps! Getting ready for the storm. . . got peanut butter and V8!

Was it my post lol? If I don't eat every few hours, I get cranky. I think it's a blood sugar thing.

Went over my carbs and fat today, but I'm still under for the week, so I'm ok with it. I've eaten plenty of veggies today.

I gotta say, I don't agree with doing the same exact exercise every day. I don't think it's good to overexercise a particular muscle like that. So, that being said, when it comes to workout stuff, I'll incorporate your recommendation where I see fit.

Just tell them you don't like your head massaged. You're not the only one, but they're gonna do it if you don't say something. You can also say you don't want it styled-just a blowdry to get it dry. It's not very satisfying for a hairstylist to do that, BUT at the same time, he/she will appreciate the extra time they'll…

I'm still confused. Are we supposed to do the rows every day? Once a week?

great!
