Hello everyone. Just checking in halfway into the week. Everything is going alright here. I've done 2 workouts this week. One WATP video and one Sweatin to the Oldies video. Calories have been on the high end but that's where I'm supposed to be. My sodium intake has been high so I'm afraid of that affecting my weigh in for the week on Sunday.

The place where I am really struggling with is making food for dinner. As most of you know I live in South Korea. There are no ovens here. So all I have to cook is a microwave and a two plate stove top. I'm running out of ideas. When that happens, I tend to eat higher sodium foods. So, if anyone has any advice please let me know.

Time for my weekly update...I'm still at 199...which is good considering my husband & I were really busy trying to find a new car last week. I didn't get much cardio in, but did do Abs & Upper Body...AND buying a new car is SOOO stressful, so I guess I should be lucky I didn't eat everything in sight! Also, I was traveling this past weekend and didn't keep track of my calories! So I'm very grateful to have maintained my weightloss from the previous week! WOOHOO!!!

Congrats again to all you big losers!!! You're stories keep me motivated!!!

I am down two more pounds! :goodscale That leaves me with 2.5 pounds to go to reach my Halloween goal. I plan to smash that and keep right on going, haha.:carrot:

I have been trying new recipes from the recipe section of the website. I have also come up with a few simple salad type recipes of my own. I have been cooking much more as it really gives you control of your calories.

Since starting this challenge on September 14, I am down 4 pounds. That means I am half-way to my Halloween goal. I do very well if I lose a pound a week so I better pick up the activity if I am going to make it.

I do have a "Sweatin to the Oldies" DVD that I have never opened. Maybe I should give it a try :dance:.

Good Afternoon

I finished an interval run this morning totaling 53mins and burned 503 in cals. Thats all i plan on doing today.

CONGRATS TO ALL THE LOSERS...WHOOHOOO:carrot:

shan84- Have you tried eating Chicken Quesadilla's on the stove top(or hot plate) yet? Take two WW tortillas, some reduced fat cheese and some cooked chicken. Heat pan to medium,spray one torillas with some nonstick butter flavor oil(pam) add half of everything and fold over the top, heat until cheese is melted then flip. Very tasty and filling. HTH's:)

Have a great day...

I'm still here. I've finally lost some weight..just a little. I think I'm down 1.5 pounds from the start of the challenge. I'm 203.5 pounds and want to get to 199 for this challenge.

Hopefully, if all goes well.

TAKE CARE EVERYONE!

Down 1 lb this week. Kinda disappointed with that, especially since I upped my exercise. But, it is a loss nonetheless so I'll take it and move on. Down to 287.2. Only 2.2 to make my goal for this challenge.

bobsgal~Sometimes when you up your exercise it takes a week or so for the results and then you get a big swoosh all of a sudden...SO HANG IN THERE~1 pound is still awesome!

It's a cold, wintry Sunday here. Which is crazy cause it's only October.

The scale did not move this week, but that was following a big loss last week, so I'm ok. I just need to be careful that I don't get into a habit of a good week and then a bad week. Steady focus and perseverance-we'll all get there.

I need to loose 3 more pounds to reach my Halloween goal.

No loss this week ladies. Kinda bummed about it but moving on this week. Hope its a good one.
