ummm how is this one different to the "sticky" thread. just so i understand???
which one do i post my results and "points" in...

hey sweet pea i asked jenn to unsticky that and delete it so we have just this one and weigh in:) results go on wi thread.

ok guys we will have 3 threads wi(for results and tallys), chat(for support and ?'s and stuff) and bio (for intro) workin on gettin bio stick'y thanks for the patience. was trying to simplify everything so we didnt have a zillion threads not needed.

ok thanks to jenn...(thanks jenn!!:) ) we are gtg so there shouldnt be any more confusion bc the buddy thread was closed the original plump thread was eliminated and the bio and this thread are sticky'd along w the wi thread:)

alright sounds good
i'm doing fine. i only ate 2 meals today as i did so much sleeping and resting but i did have a couple of snacks. not really hungry think it's all ok

catch you all tomorrow

good mornin challengers! get ready get set, go!
we can do this! i have 20m somethin lbs to lose....

just wanted to put a note here in reguards to p[oints for healthy food. for those on ww...PLEASE DDONT CONFUSE THE 1 POINT PER HEALTHY MEAL WITH THE POINTS VALUES OF THE FOODS BC EVEN IF A MWEAL IS 5 POINTS ITS STILL ONLY 1 POINT FOR CHALLENGE PURPOSES.

SWEETPEA YOURE OFF TO A GREAT START!

Hello fellow dump the plumpers!!!

Well I am soooo excited, I don't think I have ever felt this motivated and I think it is my competative nature shinning through :) .

I have already drank 1/2 my water and two healthy meals under my (soon to be shrinking) belt ;) . My daughter took some before pictures for me this morning so I can show off my drastic 12 week change :) !!!! I hope some others take some before and after pics.

I hope everyone is having as great a day as I am, well I am off to put Joseph down for his nap and then jump on that treadmill to rack up some more points. You girls will have to work reallllllll hard to catch me ;) !!!

Later

Ha, Wendy I thought I could feel someone breathing down my neck!!!! Can't wait to see everyones point totals. I think your son might be fine with the camera but a picture from the knees down won't really show us your great progress :lol: He is a real cutie!! Love the hair.

Anyway I am off for Ainsley and Makenna need to have their math lesson.

on before and after what a good idea. never thought of that. altho i have taken some "before" photos a while ago. anyway tape measure never lies!!! just wish i knew where my tape measure is!!

Oh, hitting a rough patch......major munch on right now!!!! Stay strong Monica ride it through, eventually it wll go away :( . Not fast enough though.

Gotta go chug some water

Yay I think this challenge will be just the kick in the pants that I need to get back on track! I did my workout this morning plus I am running after work and my meals have been perfect so far. Water...I did 32 oz at the gym and have had 32 more since then.

~~~> another competitive spirit

haha wendy. honestly i moved from a bigger house and there is so much i have not unpacked. boxes everywhere it's a disaster. still haven't found my beware of the dogs sign to put on the gate either

i just spent a miserable morning working on my mother's accounts yech and it is torrential rain outside so i am going back to bed for a rest

Are there limits to how many points you can earn? Just curious...like would 2 hours of exercise count for 6 pts? And all exercise (yoga, strength training, cardio) counts for the same? This is such a great idea.

hi plumpers!!!
ride it out monica.....im hitting a rough patch also-pms and a stressful day! bf and afters are greeat!

lizz: no theres no limit so yes that would be 6.

Hi girls

Liz- I wouldn't think that there would be a limit on the points you could earn!!
2 hours of exercise......holy girl is that how much you do each day!!! Man and I was delighted to get in 40 minutes. Looks like I might have to kick it up a notch or two to be competative with you :) .

Well made it through my munch on with no damage done, pheeeww! Now I have to run and finish cooking supper. Pork, potato's and lots of mixed veggies.

Hi all,
Since we are starting on a monday, does that mean that our weekly weigh ins have to be on a monday?

I would like to continue my saturday weekly weigh ins, if that's OK.:?: :?: :?:

yorkie i'm sure saturday weighins are ok - but would you like to check your water? i notice you put 3 points but that = 1.5 GALLONS or 6 litres of water???

hmmm i can see i will be overtaken on points in the exercise dept. i mean come on - 2 hours of exercise holy crap i'm a long way away from that. darn

Sorry about the water, I thought it was 1 point for every liter. I stand corrected, and I have made the necessary corrections.

Hola all. Hope you had a great day. :) :)

I am on the board so far with 2 points for a unit of water and a healthy meal. I am going to do some aerobics this evening as well. Will update my points after that!

K, I'm at 4 points now for Monday. Just did 40 minutes of aerobics. Phew! I haven't done anything that strenuous in awhile.

Hey, Sweet Pea. Hope you're not feeling discouraged! Do what you can and don't worry about the points! I don't expect to be the "winner", but just being in a group like this keeps me motivated to report what I've done.

thanks angie
i am feeling a bit discouraged but also because i've had a leak in the shed and lots of stuff is messed up and needs repairing. dieting is not a high priority right now. just want to scream a lot

and of course weather is crap. i got drenched just running between house and shed let alone going further.

well done everyone. i'm on tuesday. had healthy breakfast and lunch (2 pts), 2 litres water (1 pt), 20 mins exercise - total 4 so far.will see how the rest of the day goes

4 points - that's awesome! keep going!

thanks! i am having fish and salad for dinner. so far so good. then will do a little more exercise if i am up to it :rofl:

No I don't exercise 2hrs everyday but a couple times a week I add in a second exercise session so I was wondering how it was counted. First day went excellent--6 pts exercise, 2 pts water, 3 pts meals = 11pts! My weight has been stalled for awhile so I'll have to make up for those points my way instead.

Here's to Day #2! Let's go ladies!!

day 2 is over for me!!! will start afresh tmrw and look at increasing the exercise as that will be the tough part for me

this is the healthiest 2 days eating i've had for a long time. :)

Mmm started off my day with some pilates and cardio followed by a yummy fruit and soy protein smoothie. How's everyone else doing?

Hey everybody!

It's a beautiful day here in sunny NH. Just got back from a walk in the woods with the dogs and now I'm packing up my lunch and heading in to work. I'm hoping to cut out early this afternoon so I can go snowshoeing.

Hope you all have a great day!

I always wanted to try snow-shoeing and now I live in a place where I can't really...oh well maybe I'll give water skiing a shot this summer instead!

Oh and I had a question about the food points--I am trying Jorge Cruise's 3hr diet where I eat 6 times a day but I figured the max for meals would be 3 because that's the "norm" am I figuring this right? And someone mentioned something about a bonus if you follow your particular plan...?

cofused....
 

:dizzy: help please i am new and i want to know where to post....

Mon- 3points meals
1point water
2points walking 1hr.

glad to see that others with lote of points...is 8 glasses of water 1 point??have a great day ladies Tammy from Chilliwack Bc Canada

Tammy there is a sticky thread "DYP post your weigh in" or something at the top. that is where people have been posting their daily points

I was wondering about this. I include 2 snacks in my meal plan and was wondering if I could give myself one bonus point if both snacks are healthy and on plan....?

BTW -- How are you liking the Cruise plan? I've heard really good thing about it.

The nice thing about snowshoeing is that it doesn't require any special skills, so even someone as uncoordinated as I am can do it. Water skiing is fun, too.

hi guys...
actually 1/2 points are allowed(like 4 glasses of water) or a healthy snack can also be counted as 1/2 a point.
wendy is correct though.....points must be added and kept track by you. thanks for the reminder wendy!:)

I just edited my points yesterday and took away the ½ point.
I guess I'll have to put the half point back?:?: :?: :?:

i don't know it's getting confusing ;)

hi girlie whats up?

whats goin on wendy?
hows everyone else doin? i need to really sort some personal stuff out bf i can be on top of my game, but i am here:)

Hi Ladies, if you have any questions please contact Diane as I am no longer involved in any decision making pertaining to this game. Good Luck.
