Hey there everyone. Managed to get my sorry butt in gear and do a (short) WO today. iClimb 10 - only 20min, but better than nothing. Especially since I've been having trouble getting motivated for ANYTHING lately. Food has been good today so far as well. Nice for a change. Not sure...

Marcia, I do a lot better when I plan meals ahead. I try to at least have a rough plan of what's going to be eaten in a week, if not the particular day. It helps w/ grocery shopping AND w/ staying on track. That said, if you need menu ideas, I like the meal plans from Spark People. I make...

The sodium is pretty high in the Buffalo Chicken chili mac recipe, but you could cut it down quite a bit by eliminating the salt in the pasta water and by using a low sodium chicken broth. My DH has high BP so I try to eliminate salt wherever I can and I find I usually don't miss it, especially...

Hey everyone! I didn't get up this morning - suffering from my usual Tuesday exhaustion after a "too busy" Monday. I'm planning to do CoreMax 2 at minimum this evening. As always I'm neglecting abs...HATE it! Amelia, I make Rachael Ray's Stuffed Cabbage Stoup a lot. You can get the recipe...

Good morning (at least it still is here LOL)! I've decided that I'm REALLY good @ maintaining my weight. It's all about calories in/calories out. I just like to eat around 1700 or so, which makes me maintain. Trying to work through that right now and get back on track. Although - I have...

Just waving hi real quick! I did a 45min power walk this morning since it was relatively warm outside. It felt LOVELY. And then I had to come home to massive amounts of cleaning & laundry. I'm w/ the rest of you all on the DH thing...he managed to dump almost all of the cleaning/laundry on...

If you do Core on WW you get the clean eating that you mention and you don't have to count points AND you can eat when you need to. BUT, I agree that the leaders don't tend to focus on the Core program. I'm lucky - I have a great leader that always talks about Core! As for the original...

Thought I'd stop back to report that I did the cardio portion of LIS today. Put the extra riser under my step to make it a little harder too. It was GOOD. We went to the playground this afternoon - walked up there (1/2mi each way) while the kids rode their scooters. They had a blast. DD is...

Good morning everyone! I'm not totally functional yet - trying to muster up the enthusiasm for a WO and let me tell you IT'S HARD! Kids are still asleep and probably will be for another hour or so - I should just jump on the elliptical and get it over with. Lowmax sounds like fun - I should...

Happened to me on my first mammo - wound up having a needle biopsy and the thing was a benign cyst. Try not to worry.

Hi everyone! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAYLE!!!! Sorry to be MIA this week, I was on travel for work and simply had limited time to check in. I WO (a very little) and ate OK (not great) and consequently appear to be up about 1.5#. No biggie. Now that I'm home things should get back to normal...

Hi folks. Just can't seem to get my butt out of bed on a daily basis for exercise. I do better when I have cardio on the agenda - I like the weight work, but it just doesn't pump me up to get up in the morning... Just thought I'd stop in to say hi. My official WW weigh in is tomorrow and...

Blech. Was attacked by the Oreos this evening. Ate my workout's worth of calories in cookies tonight. Could have been worse, I suppose - I could have skipped the WO today. Tomorrow is supposed to be weights. I should do PUB so I hit all the UB parts since I skipped Tuesday, but I may just...

Hey there everyone! Let's ALL toss our scales, shall we? We KNOW we're doing the best we can. SO THERE!!! I did the LIC cardio premix today. I've been taking it "easy" on that one lately, so I threw an extra riser under my step today and got an extra 150 calories out of it. Amazing what...

Sue, I PROMISE you there's NO WAY I could do a single pullup either, so you're not alone. I know DS (10YO) can do at least one, not sure about DD - she's only 5 so I'm not sure she understands what to do. Lori, glad DS got back to sleep and that you got your WO in! I have GS C&T on my list...

YES GAYLE - I HAVE ALL MY MEALS PLANNED FOR THE REST OF THE DAY...AND THE WEEK... LOL - thanks for checking! I'm using a meal plan right now to help me not need to think about what to eat. I KNOW what to eat - I'm just not DOING it - the meal plan seems to be helping. I'm also trying to...

Hey everyone! Nice losses Amelia & Kath! Me, I've been @ war w/ the scale since I started this challenge but oh well - it will move (in the RIGHT direction) sometime! I was planning to do the LIC cardio premix today but had TROUBLE getting up. DH was so sweet about nudging me out of the...

Good morning folks! Amelia, I HATE abs too! They're always the first to go when I'm short on time. Jean, I had several meals like yours over the last couple weeks. I finally had myself one HUGE binge day last week and have been much better (though far from perfect) since. Just try again...

Good morning (or I guess afternoon for some of you)! Amelia and Kelly, congrats on those great losses this week! My scale is down 1.5# since Monday, but basically the same as my last week's official WI. I've been having scale issues for a couple weeks now so that's OK. As advertised, I...

Hey everyone. I hope all of you w/ colds feel better soon. It seemed like it took FOREVER to get over mine (I'm still having small cough issues, but not enough to stop me anymore - that's something else LOL). Lori, I can so totally relate to the "forbidden food" thing. As soon as I started...
