Hi Ladies!
Welcome Fauxtini and Kelsy!!

Fauxtini~ I'll stop binging if you do! Good luck with getting the lbs. off before your honey comes home. Just try to imagine his reaction when you greet him as the ultra confident and slender wife.

Kelsy~ good luck with your 15lbs. We'd love to hear more about you!

urock~ 33:15 for your turkey trot is wonderful. Is that 3.1 miles? I didn't even know you were doing the Trot. Great job!
sweet potatoes were fantastic, everyone loved them thanks again!

fullsteam~where are you lady? Don't be away too long.

Hattie~ you are doing so fantastic on these challenges, i bet you do look great. I'm not great at accepting compliments and feel a little uncomfortable myself, but it is nice to hear. I just smile and say thank you too.
"Pillars of the Earth" was a good book. I haven't started the sequel yet. I think you need to know you have the time when you start his books because they are so lengthy.

Christie~Hi chick! 4.5? It's water I'm sure of it. I'm not changing my ticker unless my lbs stay on for over 5 days, then I'll bite the bullet. The bio was a great idea!

Sass~ Hey, did you start your running program yet? Don't worry about those 2lbs. Could be too much salt, not enough water ect... It will be gone before you know it!

SO I jumped on the scale this morning and it said I gained 5lbs this week. There's no way that is even possible. I am in the middle of TOM and I know I gained some because of my bad eating, but 5lbs, no way! I will use it as my official start weight though since that's what the darn scale said.

Name- Lene
age- 33
weight- 155 (lies,lies I tell you)
status- married
kids- 3 kids, son 10, daughter 8, baby girl 20 months
pets- 1 Golden retriever, 1 cat
goals- for the challenge drink 64ozs water a day, exercise 23 days
highest weight- 186
job- part time cake decorator/full time Mom
location- Pennsylvania
favorite movie- Pride and Prejudice (watched it 27 times in the last year and know every word to every scene)
favorite bands or singer- Chris Daughtry, Fall out Boys, Billy Joel, Chris Brown, music from the 60's and 80's
last book read- Blindness

Got up and went running at 3:30AM. It was a great run and I didn't want it to end but I needed to get ready for work. I ran about 3.3 miles. I feel like going running again tonight too, but will wait for tomorrow AM. I'm going to do crunches and push-ups before bed. I ate a plate full of dessert for dinner. I need the stuff out of my house. TOM and sweets in the fridge is too dangerous.
exercise: 1/23
water: 1/28
start weight 155
size 8

I have the PnP book and I have all of the websites bookmarked for it. I am theming my wedding behind it (whenever I do get married) and I LOVE the movie. I tried to watch the one from the 70s and it doesn't do anything for me. I love the Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Bennett (mom) in the new PnP. I love the soundtrack and my favorite score is the Postcard to Mr. Purcell and the dance that goes with it (it was such a powerful scene in the movie). I have the DVD so on it tells you about the locations to where they filmed and I would love to go see one day.

Hi everyone

Happy Sunday!

I have never seen Pride and Prejudice. I guess I should get it.
I finished "Pillars of the Earth" It was really good!
urockmom: Is "World Without End" a sequel to this one?

Fullsteam: Where did you go? I miss you!

Maybe everyone is really busy with company...

Talk to you soon..

Hey faux~ I'm in for the challenge. I have made it through today so far without binging. I said to DH today that eating platefuls of dessert isn't what killed me this last week (not that it helped). It's the cravings for carbs the days that follow. And yes there is something wrong with you. Your favorite movie has to be PandP!

Marybeth ~Good luck with your 11lbs.

Hattie~ I know your name is Michelle but you have been Hattie to me for so long it doesn't feel natural. LOL I know this was directed to Urock but "World Without End" is different characters, but set in the same town and is a couple of centuries later.

I pm'd Fullsteam. She must be a busy lady. I miss her too.

I hope everyone is having a great day!

That reminds me...what do you all do for exercise? DVD, belong to a health club/Y, or what? I am doing DVD's, but I think I need to consider adding other/different DVD's.
I was just curious. I know this is covered on other threads, but thought I'd ask on here.
Personally, I prefer strength-training to aerobic things, 'cuz I have limited coordination at times!

Which one? The one with Keira Knightley? Or the BBC one with Colon Firth? Just curious...I actually like them both.

im watching the kiera nightly one at the moment. I think that's the one everyone is talking about on here SO far so good! lol

As for exercise... i do a little of everything..
some dvds i suggest are biggest loser cardio max , the biggest loser scult dvd, walk away the pounds 4 fast miles and 1 mile jog.

I have don ethe couch to 5k program (google it!) f you are up for jogging or learning to. I could never job for more than a minute till i started this prgram.

When i watch tv I roate between lots of different lunges, squats, push ups, sit ups, random arm weight techniques i've learned from biggest loser dvds and friends.

I dont know if that's much help.. that's more or less what im doing.

I like to mix it up so i dont get bored. oh yeah! i love the eliptical at the gym and the resistance machines!!
