12. Kim:

Making good snack choices?

Katie brought up a good point that she would like every ones ideas and inputs on.

" I always have a hard time eating small, healthy portions throughout the day when I don't have time to prepare anything. Maybe you could post a question to everyone on the blog asking for their tips to packing small healthy snacks to take with them when they have a full day ahead of them? I've done baby carrots and cottage cheese before, but I get sick of it after awhile and you've got to refrigerate them so its not always convenient. Any quick easy meals that people like?"

You can comment on this post on what you do to snack healthy. I don't have much to say because I do work at home which can be a curse and blessing. I always have food around so not eating it is the hardest.

How you doin?

So how's everyone doing this week or weekend? I know my stomach is so sore right now, I love this feeling. I wanted to post my tip for the week and anyone can comment here or email theirs as well.
http://www.skinnytaste.com/

This website is my favorite. I've made a few things from it and it's all delicious! It has everything, and everything is labeled with nutrition value. A bigger plus for me is that it's a weight watchers site as well. I'm doing weight watchers and I love it! I feel like when I do WW that i actually take in more calories then if I was just counting calories! So go check it out, the sweet potato fries on the first page are looking amazing to me!

Looking forward to hearing from all of you on Thursday!

Oh and Congrats to Kim D on being the biggest loser last week!! You Rock!!

Halloweens over!

So how did you do? I can honestly say I did well! I did have a foot long subway sub but that was better then the dozen sugar cookies I was eye-balling.
We are officially at 12 competitors! I also need your $20 this week.
Everyone have a great week, or for my sake Eat a lot of Cake!

It's on!

Okay everyone first day how did we do? I know I had a great workout tonight at the gym. I realized how out of shape I was and got excited to get back where I used to be! Remember to send me a picture of you for the side list of competitors!

Also I thought it would be fun if everyone sends me their goal for this challenge.
In 9 weeks what would you like to accomplish? It will be fun to see who achieves their goal!

I'm also placing everyones email {I hope that's alright} under their picture to the side. This way we can send out emails to everyone in the challenge with tips, motivation, diet ideas, ect! Also if you want me to post something on here email me it and I'll do that!

My tip for this post is www.sparkspeople.com. free, simple, fun, calorie counter!

Thursday Weigh In!

One more day until this starts, are you excited? Thursday I need an email from each of you with your starting weight. I know, I know but I promise I won't tell or judge. I need this to figure out everyones percentage every week. If you would like send me a picture as well. It doesn't have to be like the one of me off to the side.--------->

If you know anyone, friends, spouses, etc that would like to join hurry up and tell them so they're not far behind. Right now we are at 7 people so that's $140 in winnings!
Also the $20 is needed in these first 10 days! I will keep the money safely. To keep others motivated make sure you keep in touch with everyone. Let others know what you're doing that works, doesn't work, what classes you like, what exercises you like. Snacks/Foods that keep you full. Whether it be 10lbs or 50lbs this is my favorite way to shed weight! A good friendly competition!
