Hi there ladies! (And gentlemen? Any guys on this team?)

Though the weigh-in is not until Friday, we're already trailing the Vamps and the Unplumpkins in one respect... posts to our home base, this thread! Perhaps we're all natually quiet, but this seems like a great resource we should be using while it's here. How's everyone doing? I'm fine so far. :)

I thought a message board game I've enjoyed other places might be useful here, to get us talking to one another and learning more about each other and about helpful hints for the challenge. It works like this: someone asks a question in their post, and the next person to post (even if it's for another reason like a water update or encouragement) answers the question at the end of their post and asks another. (It's just an idea, so participate only if you want to, of course.)

For example, what's your favorite healthful dish or recipe?

128 OZ WATER
Hey fellow teamates hope every1 is slashing the
pounds while guzzleing the water lol! W e all are doing GR8!

hey everyone! sifen is right... more posting required!!! =) lol

I got my water in today as well... woo hoo! and I made it to the gym for the first time since friday... yay me!

I'm excited about the weigh-in, but i'm also concerned that since I have been lifting that I have added muscle and i won't see a difference on the scale... oh well, i guess that's what comes...

My favorite healthy meal is a mandarin orange/steak salad... i take a small piece of leftover steak (lean meat, plus small portion) and throw it in with some greens, add mandarin oranges and then make a homemade dressing out of balsamic, dijon mustard, and a little bit of honey... mmm mmm good!

What is your favorite exercise to do?
 
oh! I also like stirfry anything... I have this great recipe for tofu w/ orange peanut sauce... all stirfried together and served over either some rice noodles or a bit of rice... i think it's only like 500 calories - which is a healthy meal for me for dinner... PLUS it's good for you tofu, lots of veggies, and its simply fantastic.
 
Amomono,

Your stir fry sounds fantastic you have a recipe running around any where??

Got my exercise in and water and ate good, curious to see if I lose any weight this week!

My favorite exercise is spinning class. Its insanely hard so a challenge and I always feel like I really accomplished something when i'm done.

What is your goal? IE do you want to look great at your wedding, on vacation.............whats that one thing you dream about when the weight is gone?
 
Hey all! You're right, we need more posting...where is everyone?


My short-term goal is to look good at Christmas...all those photos. This is one year where I am going to WANT to be in all the pics!


Who is the most supportive person/people in your weight-loss life right now?
 
I'm still trying to work on my water intake. I can't wait for the weigh in tommorow!

My mom is probably the most supportive. My friend Sam has also been a great help in keeping me motivated.

Hi everyone!!! Tommorrow is weigh in day!! WOO HOOO!!! Can't wait!!

I did start tom today...so i'm nervous what that will do to my weigh-in. but i'm thinking w/ all the water i've been drinking, maybe it'll come out right in the end???? who knows. Anyways, i'm excited about weigh in!

Ok, so SM didn't ask a question, so I"ll answere the above question also...

The most supportive person in my life right now is....my friend Amanda! You may remember her as coastergirl4. We talk everyday and she is always there for me! Thanks Amanda! Love ya!

(great idea btw, sifen)

Ok, so what is your fav. time of year and why???

OK, met my water goal for yesterday as well as doing twenty minutes of abs and a one-hour step class. I am SORE. Going for Pilates today.

I also got all my water in yesterday and I have to tell you, I feel like a million bucks this morning.

My favorite time of year is fall - as in right now. Beautiful folliage, sweaters, football, cool weather. I'm always so happy and relaxed by the time fall gets here. It's definitely my favorite time of year.

Who is your weight loss icon? Meaning, who is your inspiration for weight loss? It can be a celebrity like Carnie Wilson, your mom..anyone.
 
Hi everyone! Glad to hear we're all doing so well! I'm sitting here with my second 12 oz glass of water for the day, about to make some lunch out of leftovers, yum. Keep on drinking that water, it's almost the end of week 1!

I don't have a specific weight-loss icon. It's more like, when I walk around during the day and I notice a woman who seems to be in shape and healthy, I think to myself, "Y'know, with some work I could be that way too." I'm aiming to be the kind of person I would think that way about, if that makes sense!

How do you fit exercise into your everyday routine?

Hey all! The start of a great day! The scale has been nice to me this week, so I can't wait for tomorrow's WI!!


Luckily, right now I'm off work for a year (until the end of May), so I have time during each day to play with. If I can't find someone to take the kids for an hour, I will at least take them for a walk, and I will get out my stepper and do that while my daughter watches cartoons.:D


What/whose music are you currently listening to the most?
 
I'll jump in here on the music thing but anyone else feel free to answer it. I'm currently obsessed with the new Justin Timberlake CD. You want good workout music? Pick this up! I'm also loving the new Raconnteur's CD. I listen to everything.

I actually had one of my co-workers comment today on how often I go to the bathroom. He basically said, "You know, if you'd stop drinking all that water you wouldn't have to get up so much." HA! Little does he know, kiddies, that it's all part of my evil plan to flush away all of the fat in my system right now. ***insert evil laugh here*** Die, little fat pockets, DIE!

Please feel free to answer Dari's question but I'll throw another one in here:
If you could invite five people to a dinner party (alive or dead), who would they be?
 
oooo... i hate questions like that - lol - I never know who to say... so i'll cheat and answer the question before! ha!

I am listening to kt tunstall, jump little children, lucinda williams, death cab for cutie, james blunt, etc... kinda folksy inde stuff =)

half my water is in my tummy for the day... still working on the rest.

The recipe for the orangepeanut tofu stirfry stuff is . You can find the peanut sauce mix in most grocery stores and it tastes fantastic!

what is your favorite tv show?
 
Today's been pretty good for me! Managed to make some tasty meals out of yesterday's leftover baked chicken; it was waaaaaay too orangy for dinner last night, but chopped up and put in other foods it tastes pretty good. Tonight it becomes stir-fry, though I don't have any peanut sauce! Perhaps a little teriyaki instead. :) And I'm more than halfway through my water for the day, with at least another six hours to finish it in! Yay!

I can't think of a full five people I'd like to invite to dinner that I don't already have dinner with, but I know I'd like to meet my grandfather who passed on before I was born.

Far and away, I love the show House the most! I watch it every Tuesday without fail (well, almost, I get kinda cranky when I miss it), it's just really funny and I love anything having to do with medicine. As such, I'm also a Discovery Health junkie! I like this question a lot, so anyone else feel free to answer too.

My question: What is a hidden talent/hobby of yours that not everyone on the forum knows about already?
 
I've dabbled in watercolors :D I'll put a pic up someday of a painting or two I've done, once I get home.


What celebrity do you have a secret crush on? I'll answer this one, in case he ever drops by the forum...then he'll know;) I have a big crush on Paul Walker (8 Below, Into the Blue, Joyride)
 
hmm... orlando bloom is definately on my list!!! he's sooooo cute. I really like the show House too - but Grey's Anatomy is my favorite... I don't get to watch house this fall b/c i have class then =(

I got my water in again today - whee! Food has been good too - although i still have time left in the evening and way too many sweets in the fridge =(

does anyone have any plants in their house/apartment? I have one hanging in my window - that I ALWAYS forget to water.. and somehow it is still alive!
 
Wow good question dari but there is so many and Paul Walker is
definatley sexy(I love joyride)I love Jonathan Davis(Korn lead singer
I always thought he is sexy! Now he is bringing sexy back :p
Good luck every1 tomorrow with weigh in I feel so darn bloated
