Lightbulb The "You ate WHAT? Challenge"
We all do it. You know what I am talking about. We exercise, take our vitamins, and our phen... then we go to Dunken Donuts.... aww... the dreaded "you ate what?". Take myself for example... today I got up early, went to the Body Definition class and came home and ate like I haven't eaten in a week... anything bad I could grab! So, it's time to be responsible for what we put in our mouths! A minute on the lips, a year on the hips! Get out an old notebook and start writing down what you put in your mouth! Every bite counts, let's see where we are really sabotaging ourselves. You may be surprised what the reason behind that "plateau" really is!
It's just that easy... write it down. It may make you think twice about eating that twinkie, cause after your day of eating - you are to report back to us... the good, the bad, and the down right ugly! I will give you tips along the way... 1st tip... get yourself one of those little memo pads to keep in the purse - so there is no excuse for not writing down what touches those lips... Redsox... put yours in your pocket, unless you are a purse carrying type of guy.
Weighins will be on fridays, cause that's the way we roll! So, if you want to be challenged, hop aboard...

Hey! Packs, it's like you were talking right to me when you said "You may be surprised what the reason behind that "plateau" really is!" I have a hard time with mindless snacking. Then I can't remember what I ate, or how much of it. So I guess it's time to be accountable for my actions. It's not going to be easy, but I'll give it a shot. I'll officially start tomorrow.

Here's me in a nut shell:
Married mom of 2. Daughter is 4 and my son is 18 months. Hubby just got home from a 15 month deployment, and I am "Sexually deprived for your freedom" no more! I do not discriminate against any types of food. Love them all! Today I weighed in at 146, but I refuse to change my ticker till I'm less than what it says. That's about all.
Height 5'1

HW - 192

Final Goal - 125

Packs- I love the new pic!!! I can really tell a difference. I guess the second round of straightening did the trick on the hair too....
Mindless eating..yep that would be me! I think that the journal is a wonderful idea. Do we share what we eat here everday? Are we setting a goal for the challenge? And how long are we running this?
Maybe we should go in and get red sox a MAN PURSE ....

Chester- glad you are no longer deprived.

Oh heres me..Married mom of 2 ..11 year old girl and 4 year old boy..and a secret agent hubby (inside joke )

I have school but I will check in later..
4-1-07- 217
8-4-07- 186
8-10-07- 176
11-10-07- 170!! Woo hoo!! (almost 50)

How long do ya'll want to do this chappenge? Yes, every day we have to say every single thing we put into our mouths - starting tomorrow cause I just came from CiCi's LOL I am doing my own personal goal of 150 by May 9th... I think we should each do our own goals for this... but we do have to spill the beans on the eating thing! I'm in on the man purse thing... I got a couple bucks I'm willin to spend on sox!
Chester, you should be burnin some extra calories now that you aren't sexually deprived for our freedom!
Oh, and Im - thanks! I like my hair now
I guess I should state a little about myself too. I'm going to be 30 in may, I have three children - ages almost 1, almost 5 and almost 9! WHEW - time flies! My hubby has a boring desk job so I have to live through people like Im who has a secret agent hubby and Chester who has a man in uniform every day

Default NO MAN PURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm really not a hip style type of guy...so the man purse is out!!!

Btw.....I posted pics in the old thread....

I am in!! Official first weigh in will be on Friday.

This morning I had a bowl (approx 1 1/2 cups) of Cherrios multigrain cereal with about 3/4 cup of 1% milk. I also had 8 oz of Hood's simply smart non-fat Chocolate milk. for my morning snack I had 2 pieces of Wonder's kid bread (fortified with protein and fiber..as if it were wholegrain..but it is white) with peanut butter.

For lunch i'll be having a morningstar veggie Chix pattie (tastes like the real thing!!) on a wheat roll with 1 slice of Kraft 2% american cheese. I'll have a hunt's snack pack fat free choc pudding and a medium sized gala apple.

For afternoon snack it will be a couple of quaker chocolate rice cakes...

And most work days that will be my boring yet highly effective menu....lol


Oh and to describe myself: I am an engaged almost 41yr old male (4/28) with two children daughter 17 son 13 and a wonderful fiancee (who is 6 1/2 yrs older then me..lol) her daughter who lives with us full time 15 and another daughter who lives with us when not in college and 19. She also has a daughter 24 who is getting married in June and a cute as heck almost two year old grand daughter. So basically their are soon to be 9 of us in our family after we add the son in law in June...lol and yes life is as hectic as you might think it is for us...lol.

Oh I'm new, and would love to join the challenge! I have used phen in the past with great poundage lost. This is my second time and I'm finding it more difficult.....I'll eat the chocolate rabbit, not because I'm hungry or really even that I want it...it's just there. Self control....I need some more awareness of what I'm actually shoving in my mouth if I want change.

Little about myself : I'm 25 from Virginia. I just became engaged in Jan! I work full time and am a full time student. This will be my second marriage ( the first was jumbled with inmaturity, insecurity ) I really don't want to walk down the aisle resembling the Michelin Man....=) I want to start a new life as a healthy college graduate and newlywed!
Starting Weight 3/21 : 171.5

WELCOME! Newbies are welcome, we have all been there at some point. This group of phends is a lot of fun.... a little distracted latley, but fun. Hopefully this challenge will refocus all of us.... we need something to call you though, unless you want to be referred to as 40 - LOL
We have sox, packs, Timi, Im, Choco, Chester, LZ, Dale, Virgo... have I missed anyone? Hope not.... Choco is takin a break, but she'll be back or we'll hunt her down like a pack or rabid animals!
I already did the gym today. 45 on the E, then leg weights and situps.... Man, I need a shower.
I had a protein shake for lunch made with protein powder, Oj, yougurt and milk... still hungry though - but I just took my phen... when baby lays down I'll shower and eat a little somethin else... fajitas for dinner tonight!

Hey guys.... I had a great workout at the gym, for the first time in a good while. (still have gimpy toe) BUT I didn;t eat breakfast so I messed up. My personal goal for this week is to eat my raisin bran crunch before I set foot out of this house!!! Anyway, I had a happy meal... yes that is what I said!! AND an icecream cone... FAT FREE mind you... I am still under for calories but will have to eat a light dinner. Has anyone been doing the apple cider vinegar thing or heard of it? Also my Dr. wants to start me on the phen capsules, they are time released and he feels it will work better since more often than not I forget to take the 2nd half, anyone have experience with these. Oh and 2 bottles of water too.

Redsox- I will go back and check out the pics...

Packs- how long does the straigtening suppose to last? I thikn Choco is having too much fun judging from her myspace pics ... I think we n eed to go get TImi too!!


Hers my calorie count and fat...
I burned 600 at the gym THEN!!

23 grams of fat
545 on calories for the day...
see just have to eat low fat for dinner, and I will be ok... I think
4-1-07- 217
8-4-07- 186
8-10-07- 176
11-10-07- 170!! Woo hoo!! (almost 50)

I need to go back and read how many calories I am suppose to be eating... need to go look at me pm's. I have only had 415 today. I burned 450 on the E, and that doesn't count all the lifting. Aren't we suppose to eat at least 1200 and then what we burned? If that's the case I need to eat some oreos KIDDING! Dont' yell at me!

Im, happy meal? Hey, at least it is portion control! I haven't done the time release thing. I just started taking my phen again today. I only have a month left, and Dr won't give me anymore. I swear I should walk in there naked and then I bet he would hand me a bottle! Guess I will be looking for some online - that's kinda scary though The straightening lasts until it grows out - about 9 months and then you have to get the roots done again. My hair isn't real curly at the roots so mine should last a while. At least I hope it does or hubby will not be happy! Hey, I'm on myspace too! We need to hook up... look for me... I don't remember if it is under Susan Roger or Susan Pack... but look me up and add me! I need to find choco on there to and drag her back by the pretty little hair on her head!
