same with me jachid, but hey, at least we're still running :)))  i'm up two lbs this week and happy that it's not more since camping does a number on ya.  apparently three days without internet access will completely make you forget how to keep track of what you put into your mouth lol!  either way it's a nice shock to the system so i'm hoping this week my metabolism will be in overdrive *fingers crossed*

hope everyone else is doing great!!

welcome ilovemytwins!  they are so cute by the way :)))  i'm sure that you'll find time to fit some exercise in your busy schedule, now that you know what it takes to lose those pounds, you may just surprise yourself (as long as you don't forget your goals!!)  and i'm pretty sure you'll end up way below 200 by the time this challenge comes to a finish!  never blame anything on the beach!!  NEVER!!  j/k lol, i would live on the sand if i could

i hope everyone's gonna have an awesome weekend, i know i will ;)

uh...at this rate you won't be around to see the 'end result' of you

EAT!!!!!!!!!

How is this helpful?

 it's called tough love, and from what i see, not enough children are getting it these days.....perfectly healthy 14 year olds wanting to lose pounds?????  all she has to do is stay as active as she is for future success, but worrying about calories should not be part of her growing up.  did you have a life as a tween?

Tall ladies!! There are always so many of these threads, everyone is so proud haha.

I don't have a problem so much with my body image as just my height! I hate being taller then everyone! I refuse to wear heels. I also can't stand how hard it is to buy clothes.. I need long pants and shirts are always too short. Plus I have big boobs but a pretty small frame. Shirts are impossible too!! 

ugh! One of these day tall women need to start making more clothes, theres not enough out there!

I am just trying to lose the last few pounds. I am 6' and my current weight is 147, goal of 140. I have a super small frame (except my hips which are giant!) so even at 147 I still have those dang love handles I can't seem to get rid of! Anyone else feel like those things will just never go away?!

 yeah.....me!  :))))

hi cubs!!  we can go head to head since we're at the same weight right now :)))  and katalina, welcome as well!  so what was your regimen when you started losing at 158lbs??  tomorrow's our fist weigh-in, hope to hear from you guys as well even though you just popped into the group!

and YES jumprope is one of the best cardio workouts one can do, plus it makes you feel like a kid again.....a really really big, sweaty kid lol

good on ya!  running is the best way to get rid of excess pounds as long as you take the proper precautions....sounds like you're well on your way!!  all i gotta say is never EVER underestimate a good pair of running shoes, don't be afraid to invest a few more bucks....they'll save you from endless running injuries

hey hey everyone!!  glad to see the regulars are still hanging around :)  my congratulations to kirsten, brett, jstone, amayou among others for keeping positive and for the progress everyone has made!

i've been "outta commission" with checking in (sorry brett, looks like you're very concerned for the well-being of this group, lol), practically been a lab rat for the last month or so, had a physical (blood work/x-rays/CT scans/paps and so on...) plus got my wisdom teeth pulled a week and a half ago, but it's all for my own peace of mind that i'm taking my body in the right direction with all this exercising and diet changing phenomenon, tried to keep up my gym attendance as much as possible during those times, so i've pretty much been in maintenance mode (VERY happy about that!!)

don't remember what my last posted weight was, so let's just start fresh, shall we?

this week:  158 lbs

now i'm about a week into training for a 5K i've got coming up in july, already ran my two 2 mile runs this week, awaiting a long run on sunday......my thighs are killing my already!!!  i hope i can do this *fingers crossed*

hope to hear from everyone!  good luck!!

LOL....i work there, that thing is HUUUUUGEEEE!  by judging the ingredients that i see them put into that monster, here's my breakdown:

mixed greens (around 3 cups): 100 cals

shaved chicken breast (4 oz): 215 cals

oriental noodles (1 oz): 80 cals

soy pineapple dressing (2 oz if served on the side, they waaaay overpour when freehanding):  150-250 cals

thai peanut dressing (2 oz): 200-300 cals

TOTAL:  745-945 cals WITHOUT the tiny side garlic cheese toast :)  that little slice alone will add another 200
