Hiya!
Quick flyby since I have to get out of here and do some shopping..we are out of veggies
Dix: WTG on the weight!, too bad about your dryer though
melwolf: Congrats on the 2 lbs! Keep it up
Selina: Isn't it good to see all this activity on the thread? I love it!
zinke: You did your workout and that's what counts. Yay!
Suzie: Sorry to hear about your threadmill.
SillyGirl: Good luck with your exams. Remember you can always come here for some support when you are feeling stress and want to overeat
Mary: Sorry that you are not feeling so well, take care chickie! Your weight and mine are so close and have been since the end of last challenge, so let's make it into the 160's together!
What are you doing to stay on plan today??
I am keeping active. Already finished my workout and now I am going for a walk. Drinking lots of water to distract my mouth and hands. And not buying anything that's not on my plan.
I just got the new EA Active game and I love it! I think I will make it my main form of exercise for the next 30 days.
What are you doing to stay on plan today?? i'm walking even if i don't want to, i've informed my bf he is to make me walk with him every night wether i want to or not.
This is what I've been doing for about 10 days now. My family was all into it at first...then they started slacking off....
Went by myself last night and had a good time groovin' to my ipod for about 40 minutes.
I'm excited for another challenge! I've been avoiding the scale lately, which means I haven't been doing to well. BUT everytime I step on it, I'm within a 2 lb range, just maintaining.
I'm an American living in South Korea, been here 9+ months and I'll be going home for a month in September before moving to Australia! I wanted to really wow my friends and family by losing weight while I was gone a year and so far I've just lost 20 lbs in 9 months. I really want to put pedal to metal and lose another 20--or more!
My goals for this challenge are to lose 23-26 lbs. Losing 23 lbs puts me at a healthy BMI, losing 26 puts me in the 120s, which was the lowest I've been able to maintain (from 1999-2002).
My other goals are to regularly workout. I just got My Fitness Coach for Wii and I like it. I want to follow their recommendations for exercise... so far they recommend 30 mins 5 days a week. I also want to FINALLY complete the 30 Day Shred this summer. I have tried and failed many times.. my best was 17 days. It was the thing that got me started on weight loss last fall and I want to see it through to the end.
What am I doing to stay on plan today? I'm doing My Fitness Coach and tracking on the Daily Plate.
I'm definitely with you Nixmom, bring them on! I'm so excited, its my first challenge too and I'm interested it what it will bring.
....
Now that classes are done I am hoping I will be even better about working out and eating well because I won't have distractions and excuses. I was SO bad during finals week, but we won't talk about that.... To make sure I don't get lazy on the food aspect, I spent all day yesterday preping for meals for the week as well making a big batch of yummy chili so I can freeze it.
Gekster and I are fired up people. Challenge it up! Gek - am most successful with prep prepped stuff too. My fav is ground turkey taco meat. Throw it in salads, on a baked tater, in green leaf lettuce with a splash of avocado and pico de gallo. Its all easy to make in bulk and eat in bits!

DH is still out of work after being laid off last week. The kids are driving me absolutely nuts being cooped up in the house. I think I'm gonna go sneak the stretchy bands into the bathroom and do a little something while everyone thinks I am getting ready to shower.

You crack me up! Sneaking to the bathroom to exercise! I love it! For me to stay on plan I was in the same mindset as me4life..... (plus SoCal is blessed with fair weather even when its bad weather, so no reason for me there... dang it)

I dreaded going tonight. But it turned out to be a great walk and talk. Something we dont get out of our environment to do much. Glad I am not the only one pushing the BF to push me!

Joyra... I think I have managed 3 days (and not even in a row) but would like to get through 30DS too. I need a couple weeks to get back in the groove, but if you wanna PM me when you are ready to go for it, I'll do it with ya! Keep each other accountable?

Suz..... save your money, go earn your frugal badge, and enjoy the old fashioned way!
K ladies... off to shower, watch a little tube and gear up for a good nights sleep. Be good! Weigh In is only days away!
Starting things off on the right foot - I have been OP for weeks, but today was the first POP day in ages. I hit my points, didn't use any flex points, and hit the gym. Hooray!

I went to dinner last night and had a wonderful time with an old friend.
I had NO alcohol, NO bread and NO dessert!! Yay me.
I luv ground turkey too. I mix it with a couple tablespoons of horseradish and a half a handful of montreal steak seasoning. Patty it up, throw it on the grill and love it!!
To Stay OP, I plan it all out, when I am working out (5:30 although I already did my crunches) and what I am eating..trying to stay POP at least 80% of the time!
Feeling much better today. Stayed POP yesterday, calories came in at 1400 and I got my workout in. Was going to go to bed last night without filling in my calorie journal but I knew I made a promise to my team to do it so I got back out of bed and recorded everything. That is what I love about these challenges, I know you are all depending on me to do well.
Got up this morning and did a 30 min hiit on the treadmill plus I will walk tonite with my w/o buddy.
Glad to see everyone so fired up. I will catch up on personals on the weekend. I need to get to work early again today. We are having a Spring Fling on Saturday at school and I am in charge. So much left to do.
I am excited about this challenge. I had a great day yesterday even though i didnt get to walk as much as i had planned. We had horrible rain storms move thru last night.
Time for breakfast and trying to figure out what will hit the spot and stay with me till lunch. I am about out of healthy snacks so i need to make sure my breakfast stays with me so i dont end up with a handful of something bad.
I spend an hour working in my garden last night. Squash and zuc are both blooming and I cant wait to eat the rewards!!
I run an inhome daycare...so I will have to think hard about the childcare badge. I had 4 kids age 4 and under yesterday. I normally just have 3 but kept my nephew for the day also. I am still tired today.LOL
I just am saying hi and off to do some work. Will be back this evening I'm sure. Lots to do today, take the babies with me to post office, bank, son's awards at school and then back here to finish laundry, hopefully!
I'm stalled on weightloss. I think being too low for a day or two has made it stop. I just couldn't eat more. Haven't felt too well for a few days. Ah well, I'm still down a few so can't really complain. At least it's the right direction.
So far I have been pretty much OP. I haven't been able to workout though since I got a tattoo on my foot this past Saturday. I'm hoping by next week it will be healed enough to start my working out. Have a great day everyone!

I love it.
