Amen Sista!

Ya'll can send whatever... no one specified what they like or want... Hehee. I say GAME ON!

Mmmm, penis. Yum. I quit swollowing cause I don't know how many calories there is. Lol. I must log EVERYTHING into my BB program!!! Someone (2 pages ago?) asked if I was doing the C25K... I tried it once... it was OK. Lol. But I was only walking 2 miles then. I think I'll try it out on the tredmill at the gym late at night when no one else is around to see me make an ass out of myself. OK ALL:: I have Seven (7) names for the SS.... is that everyone?? I'll work on getting them randomly assigned as soon as I know that is everyone. (I think I'm gonna put your names in a hat and draw them at random. Lol. Only fair that way!)

I'll have to find that 'Road to Twoterville' thread! Cause I'm definitly on the raod!! Lol. Name...........Chall. Start Wt........Current......Chall.

WHat I did when I ate at Texas Roadhouse (cause they don't offer nutritional info!!!) is just look at the already programmed foods and try to find something VERY similar ... like I had chicken strips, so I guesstimated that as the same as 'chicken white meat, breaded, fried' And so forth. Just don't UNDERestimate your intake - cause at the end of it all the program will estimate your calories based on your weightloss, and compare that to your charted intake. This past week mine was only off by an average of 100 calories... I was pleased!! You are SOOOOOOO right!! I LOVE the instant gratification. It totally keeps me moving, constantly pushing myself to take the stairs at work and to walk one more mile, or do 10 more minutes on the elliptical. My bugg is the best motivator I've ever had and has helped me tremedously to realize what I put in my mouth. I also agree with the relying less on the band part... true, I could never do this without the band!! but I am more in control over my food choices now with the bugg. Before the bugg I would still binge once a week on ice cream, which the band cannot keep out, but having to log a 1/2 gallon cookie dough ice cream totally keeps me away from it!!! You're welcome!! Lol. Truely, as I've said a million times, the Bugg is an AMAZING tool. I'd have never gotten one though if it weren't for those who owned the Bugg before me... like Puddin - Have you SEEN her pics?? Lol.

Haha. Holidays just make it easier to mark.. and this time of year there are SOOOOO many of them!! (I have an easter goal too! Lol.)

Lucky you for living so close!! I'm gonna have to fly all by myself!! I have this irrational fear of Airports. Lol.

not today. I was trying to get myself to be walking that distance. now that i know i can walk it i will try the walk/jog next time.

just log off, then log back in. it happens to me every couple of days

**Interjecting here for a question... Does anyone want to do a Thanksgiving to New years challenge?? It'll be harder,. with HOLIDAY foods, but I thin it will help??**

Thanks ladies!! With cheerleaders like you, who could fail?!

You wanna know what I LOVE most about my Ralphie (thats my buggs name) - is that when I go to the gym, or go for a walk I can actually SEE the work I've done, rather than feel like maybe it wasn't enough or something. I feel like I have something to show for my efforts. I remember back when I used to 'diet' and I'd do so good for like a week, but the scale wouldn't really move, or I didn't see a difference in myself, so I'd go back to regular habits. I need visual proof that wheat I'm doing is making a difference, and with the BB I totally get that proof!!

Name.....Goal in Minutes.....Completed.....To Go Huntersmom ..... 0540 ..... 070 ..... 0470 FarmerE ........ 0480 ..... 000 ..... 0480 Joeygirl ....... 0860 ..... 252 ..... 0608 Suzzzie. ....... 1000 ..... 295 ..... 0705 SWEETY.......... 1600 ..... 315 ..... 1285 MM.............. 0600 ..... 060 ..... 0540 There ya go Joeygirl! As for the BodyBugg - I guess it counts a step when you walk cause your arms swing? I really don't know though, cause it counts my steps when I'm at walmart and I'm pushing a cart there... Hmm. Good question! All I know is that I walked 3.6 miles today and it counted that as just under 8000 steps! Yippie Skippie!

I walked 3.6 miles today... and it was windy and cold. But I survived. Now my legs/hips hurt. I"m gonna take a nap. (After I upload my BB.)

JC - 77 degrees? I hate you. lol. j/k. But I'm jealous. I walked 3.6 miles today... and it was windy and cold. But I survived. Now my legs/hips hurt. I"m gonna take a nap. (After I upload my BB.)

OK, So I'm probably the only person in the history of the world who has ever done a "happy dance" about weighing in at 317.6. Lol Thats right all! I did the freaking HAPPY DANCE this morning. I've lost nearly 65 pounds since I began this journey... and a part of me never really thought it would 'work' for me, so I'm just so stinkin excited! Now.. I just wanna get 7.6 pounds off by Thanksgiving... (it's never enough, is it?? I think I'm now obsessed with losing weight, and the bodybugg. Haha!)

Thanks marcar35! I worked extra hard. Lol. My family hasn't seen me in 6 months, and they don't know about my band, so I really wanted to make sure I look noticably thinner so that they could say "Wow, you've lost weight!" Haha. I know, I'm vain.

speaking of milky ways.. has anyone seen the MINT milky ways? OMG. I want one. Lol. I resisted the urge to buy one at walmart the other day, though I really really really wanted it. (i love mint)

I burn more calories when I walk/jog for 2 miles than when I'm on the elliptical for a longer amount of time.... Though I feel more 'burn' from the elliptical. Strange. So... even though I LOVE burning calories... I will choose the elliptical this winter cause of the cold (I HATE being cold!) and will resume walking in the Spring - until I get my BIKE! ha! OK, I'm gonna walk today - supposed to be like 45F outside...

OK....lets go by the ones that are actually voting here. Lol. So... would you prefer the first 3 days of the week 3/31, 4/1, & 4/2 --OR-- 4/2, 4/3, & 4/4?? (without making you look at your calendars - thats Mon, Tues, Weds, or Weds, Thurs, Fri.) OR - Are some of you REALLY wanting to go on a weekend? Throw some dates at us.

You just have to watch for sales... now that its the end of the year I'd check it daily. (24 Hour Fitness Centers and Health Clubs) YES! It was down forever a week ago Saturday, and now it was down all day Sunday!! I hate when I can't come here. I swear I'm addicted. This is what I do now instead of eating out of 'boredom'!!! As far as the bodybugg goes, they are cheaper at 24 Hour Fitness Centers and Health Clubs, though they have been jumping the price up and down. You really have to watch for a sale and just grab it. I got mine for $230. Basically you just wear it on your right arm, against your triceps, and through the magic of technology it measures how many calories you burn each minute of the day. It also works like a pedometer and counts your steps for you. At the end of the day I upload my Bugg to the computer and then I log in my food for the day. Now, they do have some pre-programmed fods, but I always log my own cause I like the generic walmart brands, cause I'm poor. Lol. But, once you add in your foods they are there, and the next time you eat that you just click on it and it will add to your foods consumed. It's really rather easy. I've never counted calories before... thought I'd hate it, but its FUN cause in the end I get to see my nutrition breakdown! It adds up all your protein, your carbs, your fats, your fiber, etc... And you get to see your calorie burned/consumed and the deficit that it creates! (Sorry, can you tell Im still in love with this thing?!) By the way, I named my Bugg Ralph. Ha!:kiss2:

Be careful with going over your deficit! Thats why my BB coach INCREASED my calories and target to burn. Lol. I have my 2nd session withher tomorrow, and after that I'm going to lower myself back DOWN! (Not that I've been eating the 1950 calories she thinks I should anyway!)

Lol!! YES she is!! I have like 3 of her walk away the pounds DVDs.

THanks for the push. I'm off work tomorrow, so I think I will give it another go. I'll let you know how I do.

Wow! How cool! I'm not a huge country fan, but Garth Brooks was here tonight at the new Sprint Center. Lol. KC was in an uproar. Haha Wow! I wish my coach would lower mine! She said she did it cause I Was burning on average about 3300 cals, so she wanted me to have to 'work harder' and set my goal at 3450 cals burned. Which automatically increased my intacke from 1200 to 1950. But I must say that I still hit around 3200-3500 burned each day and only eat 1000-1500 (I had a lil run in with some ice cream the other day!)
