| oh yeah, i mean the flavored water with artifical sweetners. i always pictured flavored water to be worse than regualar water but better than diet soda. does that seem accurate? | |||

| hey ladies!! well, the 4th came and went and here we are :) i was on vacation since the second and made it a point to not overeat, to workout and to find a scale for my final weigh on on the 4th. i am down 13 lbs since i started this challenge and you ladies first came to mind. i really wish i had access to a comp so i could send you guys a message asap!! i was so excited. how was everyone's fourth?! i think we should create a new goal either for maintence or to finish losing the rest of our weight. what does everyone else think? plan for today: B: egg whites, ham and tomato L: salad with chicken D: peas/carrots and a burrito S: yogart and sugar free ice cream workout: run 2 miles on lunch (i have a huge test tomorrow and will be spending most of the night studying) happy monday everyone :) |

| morning all! tweetria, congrats on reaching your goal!! thats just fabulous, i bet you'll see the results on the scale in the next few days if you havent already :) i've been increasing my running and im starting to see the results in my legs, the muscles are becoming more prominant, but not in a body builder way, just in a nicely toned way.....just in time for my red/white and blue dress for the 4th!! today i worked out in the morning before work since i wont get a chance to do so after work with class and everything. i may run 2 miles on my lunch break, i havent decided yet tho. Todays plan B: english muffin, egg whites, protein drink S: watermelon L: chicken wrap with an apple S: orange D: soup and a salad S: ??????? (something REALLY good!) hope everyone is ready for the 4th!!! we are almost there, everyone keep up the hard work :) |

| morning all! welcome to our group Keileen :)
lets talk about time of the month. so yesterday i was craving peanut butter all day. i wanted it on bread with jelly. on a banana and straight from the spoon. i waited til i got home from work to indulge. between increasing my workouts plus that time of the month, i am practically eating my way out of the house! you can compare what i ate last night to my planned diet i posted yesterday. its funny. so last night after work (on top of what i planned): 1/2 PB and Jelly sandwhich, banana with PB, 4 oreos, brownie with one scoop of ice cream, 2 chocolate chip cookies, 2 cups of cereal, 1/2 pop tart. im ok with it, my attitude is at least it wasnt a whole bag of cookies or 1 whole sandwhich or 1 whole pop tart haha. good news is today im craving none of that :) workout: 50 min walk before work 6 mile run after work 30 min weights during lunch food: B: coffee L: WW soup D: chicken and veggies S: frozen grapes, apple, cottege cheese |

| morning everyone :) carolally, i think thats a great way of looking at calorie intake, i always notice if i overeat on something i dont feel or see the effects for a few days anyway, im going down the shore this weekend with the girls, and there will be plenty of wine, so i think im gonna take ur advice and aim low this week with maintance this weekend. im glad we all feel the same way about wine and light beer, i always have trouble with that as well. today i got in a morning workout (50 min ellipical) and im gonna run 2 miles on my lunch break. yesterday i had a late dinner with an old friend so today im only gonna have coffee for breakfast and take an early lunch. oh quick tip ladies....its delish!: take a bottle of water, add a little sweet and low and lemon wedges...stick in the freezer until its a mixture of ice and water. its so refreshing and tastes like a lemon water ice :) good luck today!! july 4th is a little over two weeks away!! |

| The Lounge | please help. DC or NYC? | Jun 09 2008 19:28 (UTC) |

| thanks everyone for the replys so far, hands down this is definately the most helpful advice i've got.
as far as salary, i'd be working as a registered nurse. my offer was more in NYC but i figured that had to do with the cost of living. also, in NYC i wouldnt bring a car, but if i moved to DC i'd buy a new one. i thought the expenses would kind of even out, since my rent in NYC would be equalivant to my rent plus car payment and insurance in DC. |

| morning all!
i am feeling SO much better than i have last week! i had soooo much fun at the party this weekend and everyone noticed that i lost weight. that made me have an even better time! an the white suit went over very well :) chomp-im so glad ur feeling better as well, i also was looking into swimming now that the weather is really nice, but with my swimming techniques....it is not going to be pretty. susie- congrats on your weight loss! im sure you are lookin FABULOUS! :) im so envious of your swimming abilities! i can bear put on a bathing suit correctly. todays plan B: strawberry and banana smoothie L: chicken noodle soup with a turkey sandwhich D: grilled chicken tacos and a salad S: apple/orange/skinny cow ice cream its 100 degress in Philly today, so i think im gonna ditch the outdoor running and just stick to the gym today. workout: 90 cardio/30 weight train (butt, back and legs) |

| tweet, thats awesome! congrats on the weight loss :)
i heard that calorie shifting is the way to go, our bodies never need just one set number of calories on a given day. sometimes we need more, sometimes less. did you know that when our bodies are actively fighting off a cold, we burn approx 200 more calories? i thought that was interesting. it just goes to show that sometimes our bodies need calories we couldnt even predict. heres the plan for the day: B: kashi go lean and ff milk L: peas and carrots/turkey sandwhich D: grilled chicken and veggies S: yogart, banana, apple with PB workout: running 2 miles, cardio machine 40 min, weights 30 min. |

| hey emilynsb...it seems as though your scale is weighing you in kilograms rather than lbs. im not sure if there is a switch on your scale to change it back to lbs, but it not, you can figure out your weight by taking the kg valve and multiplying it by 2.2.
For instance.... 64 x 2.2 = 140.8; which is awesome!! you lost 0.2 lbs!! haha tweetrita, some foods that will not break down as sugar/fat are veggies, lean protiens (chicken, beans) and cottege cheese are my staples. be aware of "sugar free" food. while it may look good on the nutrition facts, our bodies dont recgonize artificial sweetners vs. real sugar and therefore, our pancreas realizes the same amount of insulin which alters our blood sugar, and that is ultimately responsible for our cravings and appetites. your best bet is to stick to foods as natural as possible :) |

| thanks for the advice on walk vs running. i do agree that i feel more productive when i sweat during a workout but walking is a great activity on something like my lunch break. today i ran the two miles took a shower and came back to work. tomorrow i think ill opt for staying at work and walking on my break and switch it up a bit. elizajk: unfortunately i think ribs are higher in cals (bummer). i would think more around 800 cals for a good est. desireesmom, that alcohol guide is so helpful! i just copied it on an index card and am gonna keep it in my wallet for future reference. thanks again!! |
