WOW HG... That's fantastic and worth bragging about. I really have to find a tape measure or drive an hour into town and buy another.

Hey everyone! I got up realy early to do some flights. Before the kids and dh were up, so I could boost my numbers before my crazy day starts.

My microwave died, and we need to hunt down a new one, groceries to do today, need to make sunday dinner, laundry has to be done for the week, and my garbage can is in desperate need of some attention. I will try to pop in occasionally today. How is everyone doing in the challenge?

Kntrylady, living out of town is a challenge at times isn't it? I do live in a suburb (i guess you could cal it that) ao there are convenience stores around, and a few retail places too. Just nothing like a big mall or anything. My local mall consists of five stores and one grocery store. So mall walking here can make you dizzy actually! LOL How are you finding the challenge is going for you?

wiara, congrats, that's fantastic.

HG, induction is going well. I went too long in between eating yesterday, so I was ravenous last night. I know better than that. This morning I'm good 549 calories and my percentages are spot on. Vitamins are down the hatch and water is getting started.

We've got some nasty but fast moving thunderstorms getting ready to come through, so this morning I'll be cleaning house too.

Jules, I will send her over, but just so you know she can be found at the Atkins Attack challenge! LOL *blatant advertising, just click link in my siggy*

Joy, WTG on a great breakfast. I however ate next to nothing today. Feel like crap from yesterday and am doing no better today. Bad headache and grumpy cuz someone didn't notice the 52 lbs I lost but noticed my dh's way less weight loss. Grrrr.

I did 50 flights and 2 hour walk today. Gotta go make dinner.

HG--just post some more pictures dahhhhhling so we can make over you some more and make you feel better!! Now, do *I* have to chastise *you* about eating???????LOL

So, today I had 2130 calories. It ended up being a GORGEOUS afternoon, sunny and breezy and cool and dry. I went out and ran for 5.2 miles and only stopped twice to walk, both times less than a tenth of a mile. I probably could have gone longer except I was getting chaffing between my fat thighs.

Joy congrats on the 5.2 miles, that is AWESOME!!! And way to go on the caloric intake. I am a firm believer that MORE is LESS. The more good foods you eat, the less you'll weigh!

I think I might have to invest in some of that body glide stuff. Have you ever used it?

[julirama723]

Re: Set off the Fireworks"- Lose 15 pounds by July 4th! A new

No I haven't. But that's the reason I don't run in shorts! My chub thighs rub together and I'm worried I'll start attracting crickets.

Re: Set off the Fireworks"- Lose 15 pounds by July 4th! A new

Ugh, you know what problem I *do* have? When I'm running, my bat-wing-arm-fat smacks against the side of my body and makes VERY audible noises. My solution is to crank my iPod and look oblivious to the person on the treadmill next to me.

Hey, whatever works right???

Its too hot to wear anything But shorts down here. On a 3 mile run I don't have this problem, but 5 miles, my thighs start to chaffe

This summer I'm going to have to start wearing shorts to run, as it's usually close to 100 degrees. I don't know if I should just break down and buy something like bike shorts that are tight and won't rub, or if I buy longer/looser shorts that are free-flowing?

I was looking at the compression shorts to wear under the normal shorts. I love these nike shorts I got - they're really lightweight, and they're black... Anyway. The only issue I have is that the short legs kinda ride-up after about 10 minutes... so I have to pull them back down without making it look obvious... so I figure the compression shorts would kill those few inches and make it so they didn't do that. I mean, it doesn't chafe or anything, it just looks stupid, and I can't look stupid *and* be a gym bunny.
