I've been googling wrist bands - like the ones Lance Armstrong does. I found a site where you can custom order them with the color and saying of your choosing, but I'm not sure if there's a minimum order. Of course there's an AIDs awareness one pre-printed but once again not what I was looking for.

So I had to come tell you what I did today! I actually decided to walk across campus instead of riding the park and ride bus! got all the way to class and found out no class today! so I had to walk all the way back across campus to the gym, worked out...did Day 1 Week one of the walk/run program! Then I walked to my car in the park and ride lot instead of waiting for the bus!! Go me!! It was at least 1 hour of walking! And its SOOO beautiful outside!!

This is so awesome! I'm so entirely pumped to be on the red team - and wow do we write a lot! It is great to read so many ladies who are trying to live healthy and move healthy!

Must haves in my house:
Orowheat Double Fiber English Muffins
Coke Cherry Zero
Eggs
Laughing Cow Light Cheeses

Freezer veggies - all kinds, I'm pretty open about eating anything so long as I don't have to cook it!
Raw veggies - I currently am consuming my infamous veggie bags - 3/4lbs of raw veggies EVERYDAY - this week is cherry tomatoes, english cukes, celery, carrots, and sugar snap peas.
Apples!

well i had the pic of hubby;s re-enlistment from last year (during deployment) on my desktop pic.....but i guarantee it'll be back up when this challenge is over....i need the reminder lol but at least hubby's home now for the most part of this year...so i dont need all the pics up right now lol

Wow...this is a chatty group!

Kerry - I love the pic you designed. What about a smaller one we could put it in our signatures??

So, I see everyone is listing goals for this challenge. I am not sure what I want my goals to be. It seems when I set a weight specific goal, I don't reach it and I get really upset. I want to lose 40lbs by the 4th of July. I think I can do it!

I'm going to head out this afternoon and take my son to Karate and when I do I'll pick up some beads and leather and see if I can make myself a red bracelet

Wheeee!!!!!!!!!! GO RED!!!!!!!

Oh.... and this afternoon I waited too long to eat and I was sooo hungry when I got to the store that I bought a Musketeer Bar. Now, the good news is.... I tore it in half at the checkout and had the cashier throw the other half in the trash....

I impressed myself with that ....

I remember reading that some people were going to post measurements and pics.

Do/can we post the measurements in here? The same with pics?
Also - what are you going to measure? Waist, hips, arm, thigh?
