The Master Cleanse...The good, the bad the ugly???
I have recently been looking into trying the master cleanse. From what I have read I understand it to be a fast, kind of a reboot to your system that lasts 3-10 days with 10 being the recommendation for the most benefits. The only person I know that has completed this was a classmate back in college. They spoke highly of…

Biking / Spinning Challenge
I recently moved and put my bike on it's trainer in the corner and it is just collecting dust. So I have decided to challenge myself to spin at least 20 minutes a day for 30 days. Some days I may do more, but always at least 20 minutes. I will be spinning on my bike inside because right now, my climate doesn't encourage…

SNOW DAY!!!
I got "the call" this morning. My first snow day since high school. I work for a bank and didn't expect to get the call to stay home. SO, who else has been surprised with a snow day and what's your plans for the day? I enjoyed cooking breakfast instead of my normal Greek Yogurt and Banana on the go and I'm looking forward…

Can you do a give away in a group?
I was wondering if you are allowed to do giveaways (prizes) in groups? Here is my thought... I know that when I eat healthy and exercise it directly affects my dog. I have more energy, I take her on more trips hiking, and so on. So I was thinking, wouldn't it be fun to start a group where the winner could earn a prize to…

WL Challenge with my bf
So I started back in on weight loss, loving Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and my bf says he thinks he can beat me. HA! I like a challenge as much as any person (after all, my blog is carolynschallenge.com ) So I agreed. We decided we would start Monday (today) so despite the 3+ lbs I had lost, I pigged out last week,…

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred
I just got this DVD through Netflix (a great way to test out a DVD before buying it to make sure it's something you will actually use). I can definitely see myself buying it in the near future. Anyhow, today was my first day. It was a great mix of simple, basic movements that were very effective. I am looking forward to…

Turkey Lettuce Wraps
This is one of my favorite quick, low calorie snacks. All you need is lettuce, sliced turkey (I personally recommend getting natural turkey from the deli counter), and a little mustard (any kind, whatever floats your boat). Just lay the lettuce out, rub on a little mustard(honey or dijon is wicked good), place a slice of…

New to MFP and would love some motivated friends!
Hey, I just joined MFP this week. I am 25 and I've lost about 15 lbs over the last year but I really want to focus this winter and get rid of the last 30 or so (I'm shooting for 30, but since I haven't been at peak fitness since early high school, I'm not sure what my actual goal weight should be). So anyhow, that's where…

Fisherman getting fit!
Hey everyone, I'm new to MFP. Over the last year I lost a little over 20 lbs watching calories. In the past few weeks I put on a few pounds from slipping back into old eating habits. So I decided to join MFP to re-gain my focus. I'm hoping to drop the last 30 lbs or so this winter. Feel free to add me as a friend, figured…
