CW: 166.8  I gained .2lbs this week :(

I'll get back on track though. From reading everyones posts it sounds like your all doing great. Congratulations everyone!

CW: 168.8 (down 2lbs)

I've been so busy the last week with school starting and everything. I've got one more run for week 3. I'm not looking forward to these 5 minute runs I'm reading about. It's hard enough to run 3! Oh well. I'll log in later this week with an update.

Keep up the great work ladies!

Down 1 lb.

CW: 170

Starting week three today.

I done run 1 of week 2 yesterday. I've gotta agree with a lot of the other posts...the last to intervals were pretty tough, but I made it through.

I was surprised that my legs weren't sore either. I expected my calve muscles to be this morning but they weren't. I can definitely tell when I'm walking up the stairs to my 3rd floor apartment. Thats a workout on it's own lol.

Keep it up everyone! We're doing great!

Week one is complete. The last run was a lot easier. It felt good. Starting week 2 Tuesday.

I finished my 4th interval at week one. I can definitely tell it's gotten a whole lot easier than it was that first time. It felt great to. I don't know what happened to my podcast. It was working fine sat. when I ran but today I couldn't get it to start at the beginning. Wierd, but I done it anyway.

Keep it up ladies! We're off to a good start :)

Todays the big day! I'll do mine this afternoon after work. I'm excited.

tlc0219: it took me  a few times to get it right to. I'd download it and then when I listened to it something would be wrong (couldn't hear the guys voice, it started in the middle of the session, no music...) finally after downloading and erasing like 4 times I got it. It was only week one that I had problems with. Good luck.  

So I said I'd post my starting weight today. Here goes.

SW: 174

GW: 172 (by next weigh in)

Long Term GW: 125-115

Thank you ladies. It's makes me feel better to know that I'm not alone :) I ate good today and worked out a bit. I made my own low fat chicken quasadilla. It was a little experimental but it turned out super good. If you like mexican food you may wanna give it a try.

• 2 thin cut chicken breast tenderloins (chopped is about 1/2 cup - 200cals)
  
• Non Stick cooking spray
• Seasoning of choice (I used Mrs.Dash Table Blend)
  
• 2 whole wheat tortillas (I used Mission Carb control - 80cals each)
• 1/4 cup Fat Free cheese (I used Kraft Natural Fat Free Chedder - 45cals per 1/4 cup)

Season the tenderloins as desired. Heat a frying pan and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the chicken until it's done then chop both pieces into small chunks.

Spread some chicken pieces evenly on one of the whole wheat tortillas. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of cheese on top of the chicken and cover with the other tortilla.

Warm up a gridle and spray it with the nonstick spray. Cook your quasadilla until the tortilla is crunchy and the cheese is melted. If you don't have a gridle you can use the same frying pan the chicken was cooked in.

All together it's no more than 450 calories.  You should have some chicken pieces left over for a yummy salad.

Hope everyone enjoys

I fell off the wagon :( I ate pizza and cheesy bread this evening. I feel so horrible. I worked out really hard when I got home from work and then I ate that crap. I'm so disappointed in myself. I thought I could control the temptation and before I knew it I had eaten two pieces of pizza and two pieces of cheesy bread! That's like 900 calories! I probaly gained back atleast 3 lbs in one sitting. I feel ashamed of myself for not being able to control it. Junk food is evil lol.

Back to square one for me. Today wasn't a very good day.

Good morning ladies!

I'm 21. I've been a member of CC since July 21st but my diet started on July 14th. My most recent weight was 178. I'll wiegh again Monday. I work full time as an accountant and am currently on summer break from school. I start school again on 8/25 as a full time student (night, weekend & internet classes). I'm working towards my RN license.

I chose to start losing weight so that I'd feel better about myself. The health benefits are great (ofcourse) but I really just want to feel good about myself. I know that learning to run will be a great way to exercise and hopefully shed some pounds.

I'm really looking forward to this challange and to becoming friends with all of you. It's going to be great. Have a wonderful day :) 

Congrats lillysmominpa!

Does anyone here work full time & go to school at night as a full time student (12hrs+)?

Ok the whole table thing is just not working on this site, when i enter the table it goes all out of alignment and messed up. So I entered it manually and it still wouldn't work. Argh frustrating !!!

I have all the information set up on a table, does anyone have any suggestions on how to enter a table on this site.

The only other way to do it is to email everyone a table. If so message me email addresses and i will forward it to you.

Congratulations!!! Your my new role model :)

Great info on the ab workouts. I bought a ball today and just done some beginner stuff...it's a lot harder than I thought it would be lol. Thats good though. The burn means it's working

So I mustered up the courage to weigh myself this morning. I've lost 6lbs since starting!!! Whoop whoop!! What a relief that was.

Starting Weight: 176.6

Goal weight in 4 weeks: 168

I need suggestions on veggies. I've been eating steamed broccoli, yellow sqaush, zuccihni, baby carrots, and bell peppers (all mixed together) for the last two weeks. I gotta be honest...just thinking about eating it again kinda makes me wanna gag. I need to shake it up a bit ya know. Any suggestions would be great?

Thanks ladies!!
