jen, don't get me wrong! I was concerned that you thought you HAD to do tough ones. If you're game, go for it! I'm sure you can do them and that's why you've thought them up! :goodluck:

Good evening all. Just checking in with the best ladies, while watching the Olympics.
Day 16 of the no soda and day 15 of the follow the menu - complete. Root canal, part 1 - complete. The dentist tried explaining to me what he was doing. Sorry buddy - ignorance is bliss! i was going to say not much more to report, except I DID do weights tonight. Woo hoo. Hey, anyone heard from Tia lately?? And welcome to Jen and her challenges too. Good luck, and keep up the good work. Everyone else, have a great night! |
day 5 of the carb challenge is complete with a total of 41 carbs
guess u are gonna have to add me to the injured reserve list with Cbeta... did i tell u all the story about chai & his excitement with the snow? and how he pulled me down with his leash.. well after a week my thumb was killing me.. i went in to have it checked at the urgent care cuz my knuckle is about 3x the size of the other thumb knuckle & much pain... well after 3 hrs .. the dr said the xrays are questionable.. possible fracture.. anyways they put me in a spica splint and told me to call back thursday when they have had another dr review the xray! good thing i can type w/o that thumb! |
Day 20 complete - only one day left, one pause day in my hip pocket.
Marble, good to see you back here. We missed your irreverence! There are so many new posters all of a sudden! I really need to make a list of all the names and write a personal note to each of you, BUT it won't happen tonight. You all have some worthy and challenging challenges there - enough to make slackers like me feel a little ashamed at our pathetic efforts. Blush, blush. Apple, how are you doing on that little side bet we've got going? I was a day late, but today I was down that necessary pound this morning. It must be all the exercise at boot camp. Red, extra days at work? Maybe your efforts to generate some additional income are finally going to bear fruit. As for your avatar, I really have to ask who drew the horse... The balloon I could identify, streaming in the wind behind the ??? I agree with whoever thought it looked like something from Dr Seuss. Then again, maybe I'm just jealous of those long eyelashes. Up at the crack again tomorrow, so that's it for now. Since Thursday is a day off, I may take my final pause day tomorrow. A nice little meal with some grilled lean meat (apologies to the vegheads), steamed veg, new potatoes... and a glass or two of ruby red vino. I'm salivating already. A minor victory today: I wore some pants I haven't been able to sit comfortably in for about 2 years. And I wore them ALL day at work, no pain whatever! I'm contemplating actually wearing a skirt this week... be still my heart. Night all. :wave: |
Curly, we posted at the same time. Sorry to hear about your sore paw! Of course you don't need a thumb to gazelle... (Oops. Shouldn't have said that. Now I can hear the lonely, abandoned whimpering from the spare room. I wish the dratted thing wasn't named for an animal - I wouldn't feel quite so guilty.)
BTW, is the lo-carb regimen working for you? You haven't said anything about a plateau lately, and I'm not sure if you've changed your mini-goal, so can't tell if you're losing. Most people do drop quickly when they're first lo-carbing, so I have high hopes for you. :crossed: |
ive gone down a lb since monitoring my carbs... i probably wont see the drop that others who begin low carbing get.. cuz i have been watching them all along just not at this lower level.. i was hitting anywhere from 40-125 .. my dr recommended i not go over 60 so i thought i would give it a shot!

Hey all! Checkin' in for the day...it looks like you all are doing great!! :bravo: Keep it up!
As for me, well....let's just say I had a pause day (that wasn't planned) for all three challenges. I don't know what was wrong with me today. :?: But tomorrow's a new day! I know I can do it!!! :carrot: But here's my "stats" i guess you can say so far... 2 fruits/veggies every day (L1) - 1 day complete, pause day gone Exercise every day (L2) - 1 day complete, 1 pause day gone, 1 left No pop (L3) - 1 day complete, 1 pause day gone, 2 left And I'm gonna need all the motivation I can get because I have a big Accounting test coming up! :eek: And when I have tests or lots of homework, I get stressed and eat eat eat!!! LOL. Talk to ya all tomorrow! |
Starting by Challenge today
Hi, I am 29. Mommy to a 6 month old girl and eager to loose 32 pounds. :p I am not quite sure how the challenge goes but I will start at level 3 with working out at least 30 minutes. :( I am going to need all of the help that I can get. My biggest problem is consistency in everything that I do.
I usually get discouraged when i gain one to two pounds when i work out. Can anyone recommend something on this? |
Day 17 of my challenge to eat a lunch from home is done. Since the beginning I've taken 1 pause day. 4 more and I will be done!
I missed you guys but had too much to do at work. Knee was better Saturday after an entire day of rest on Friday, but today it is back to pain. Orthopedics appointment is fro Fri AM, we will see what he says. Congrats to everyone. Keep up the good work with new challenges. I will be joinging in after my appointment. My goal? to lose 16 pounds to bring me donw to 230 by end of March. I did lose 2 pounds even though I've been injured last week. Who knows may be it's muscell, but a loss is a loss.... Off to read 3 pages...talk to everyone later. |
Too Many Posts!!!!!
My head is swimming... whhooo.
I haven't been online much these last two days because I have been trying to set up my new PC. I got my modem all installed.... only to have it boot my OTHER PC off the internet because our Braodband account only allows for one modem. So I called the company to inquire and found out that the $30 I spent on cables and couplers and the like was all for naught. I can't use a second modem without paying an extra $50 on my cable bill... NO WAY! Sooo.. i had to uninstall it.... remove all the cables... repackage them and take them back to the store and buy a wireless router and wireless adapter.... SHEESH!!!!! Did I mention it's a 30 minnute drive every time i need to go to town to a store?! And that in order to call the cable company I have to use the speaker phone becuase none of our phones work properly?! :crazy: I can't remember what my challenges were.... oh yes, um... 2 Liters water L1(starting today).... food journal L1(day 5).... exercise L3(day 1).... shiney sink L2(day 3). Thanks for all who commented on my avatar... I have that on my yahoo too. :welcome: to Rosario, Less, Jen, and uschim. THis is a great thread! Nice challenges too!!!!! WB Marble!!!! (High-five to Carla for crackin' that whip!;) ) Apple- ROFL liking the no goldfish challenge bwahahaha... they aren't safe here either. Jolly- OUCHES.... are you feeling ok? I hope you get back up to par soon! :hug: Red- :rofl: Turkey Picture... hee hee hee.... I laughed so hard when I got to the end of your post. I can see the horse now... but I had to look real close.... at first I thought it was a balloon tied to a cats tail! :lol3: I hope you are feeling better about things today. :hug: ANd about that.... "it's about time" comment :p! Did you :flame: me?! Heh heh heh ;) Tia- Glad to see you back... I hope you are doing ok. Is everything alright with the kids now? Take some rest and get your meds back to regular before taking on anymore challenges girl. :hug: Elyn- Hee hee hee... I know I was teasing... I don't like the regular stuff either... and well... notice my water challenge?! ;) Keep up the good work you are hoppin already! Curly- OUCHES about the thumb.... I hate when that stuff happens... I don't like pain... I am a wimp. I was half joking about the graphic... I would appreciate it, but you don't have to ... I would like some tutorials though if you want!;) Carla- WTG with the boot camp... man what a trooper!!!! And Hoorah for the pants!!!! YAY!!!! :cheer: Danzer- you are doing awesome girl! I do wonder though.... since you are still so close to the beginning... would it be better to start over with a fresh slate rather than have to go 99% without pause days????? I would hate to see you starting over on day 18 because of something out of your control.... but that's IMO. :goodluck: with the test.... I am starting accounting courses in the spring! Ok all... I am gonna go get that water and CHUG-A-LUG!!!!! Dang this is a long post! :p |
Oh CB.... you posted while I was typing up my post! WELCOME BACK!... I hope you start feeling better. And that the Dr can help more. You are doing awesome on your challenge!!!! Keep it up!!!!!

I keep on saying that I need to make final decisions on things and keep on putting it off - scary I know. But final decision is almost here - it's simple, I will just try to see if I am able to stay under 60 and if I can, I will lower it... Hmm so - first day is TOMORROW, I've been putting things off for way too long. Official challenge descriptions will be available tomorrow for viewing and review by RED and others ;-) :hug: |

Yes this is exactly was my behaivior when I was in college.... " I will lose what I eat now....some day"...I totally admire for realizing now - there is not reason to create bigger problems in the future if they can be avoided all together now......Hm sort of like credit card over limit spending... Good luck on your tests, and your challenges. I am sure you will be strong ..... |

Hi, welcome and congratulations on recently becomming a mom. Good luck on your new challenge, but please don't get discouraged. As you asked for some suggestions, I'd recommend two things. a. Pick one day a week - and do not visit the scale any other days. That way you will not know about your progress up or down and therefore will set you mind on completing your challenge ;-) rather than thinking about pounds loss... b. Even if you see an up movement, make sure to remind yourself that you are here for a life change not just a few pounds drop, think positive. Your body is trying to readjust and reallign itself, some say it builds muscell. Once they are built, they start eating the fat... but the gain that you see is that spur of the moment when muscell mass has been accumulated, but no fat has left... Trust me - if you do your 21 days and keep up healthy eating (weight loss IS 65% depended on food intake), I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised and motivated for another round of 21 days... Don't get discouraged, it's not easy... simply start over and try again... GOOD LUCK... and be strong! (sorry I sound sometimes too serious...) |
