Yes, I have been using that site for a few months ... Here's my updated graph. http://i40.tinypic.com/1f8eg.jpg Cheers !

bluebunny27

Alright, time to be green today. Cycling, Shovelglove, Jumping Jacks, Diet ... I've noticed my ARMS are more muscular now too, I was shovelglovin' last evening and I noticed that. ... so it's not all about a lower number on a scale either. Another double green day expected today. I have also vouched...

bluebunny27

You can't really say what the best time is ... it depends on too many personal factors. If you like to do 1 or 2 sessions, etc. The best time to exercise is when *you* are doing it, :-) If you don't have a lot of time, splitting sessions in 2 parts is good as well, although maybe not as effective fo...

bluebunny27

You learn something new every day !! ;-) Glad you are motivated too, that's important. I'll be good and green today. I won't freak out over my lukewarm scale result this morning either, 215.6. I was hoping it would have been closer to 214.8. From now on it'll be a slow and steady approach in any cas...

Hey, thanks for your support Renee ! Only a few hours left in may ... Will I make it ?? ;-) I would be happy with a low 215 tomorrow morning, that's probably what will happen. I went cycling and the temperature was *insane* ... I cycled for 40 minutes ... The first 8 minutes ... sunny The next 8 min...

bluebunny27

Alright, last day of the month, time to rock n' roll. I am all ready to cycle in about 30 minutes. I do it a bit earlier than usual cos' light rain is expected later in the afternoon. I should be alright doing it in the early afternoon though. I like using the radar site to see what's goin' on, this...

bluebunny27

Wow, 11 pounds down in a month is a lot, especially for a woman who wasn't so heavy in the first place. That's a great achievement. I lost 14 pounds my first month but I weighed 280 when I started last november. It was much easier back then, I feel I was working only half as hard as I do now and los...

bluebunny27

Ok, I'm back. I went out last night as planned. It was nice, I was relatively good. ;-) Good enough for a double yellow. I did manage to cycle yesterday since the rain stopped for long enough, it might be the same today ... supposed to rain but I am monitoring this using the radar site, I'll probabl...

bluebunny27

Yeah, that sounds like an awful morning, Renee. It could definitely lead to emotional eating. I know when I am frustrated it's something that gets to me. What was the amount of the ticket you have to pay ?? I am always extra careful whenever I am in my car, I only had one ticket in my life and that ...

bluebunny27

Breaking down the days in parts ... now there's an interesting concept I hadn't thought of, Butter ! ;-) This way you can see later on, when you are most likely to be bad/good and adjust your behavior accordingly. For example if you are usually bad at night, you can save some food from earlier in th...

bluebunny27

Awesome work, Nichole ! Yeah, just last night I was watching a tv show and there was a segment on food that is served in restaurant, LOTS of calories, salt, sugar, etc. It was pretty scary ! Hard to make healthy food choices in many cases. They were sayin' there should be a law where they have to wr...

bluebunny27

Thanks, Renee and Nichole. ;-) Yeah, I may be able to squeeze a cycling session today actually. The rain was very light this morning and now it has stopped. I know the path gets dry very quickly, a few hours without rain is enough ... I might be able to cycle in the early evening as long as it doesn...

bluebunny27

Hi ! Ok, I had a great day yesterday, All green ... and it's time to do it again today to make up for being naughty on the 26th. I hope to be back in the high 215's by friday morning. Then I'm supposed to go out friday night. I'll be reasonable but it'll still count as a yellow. After that it'll be ...

bluebunny27

Yes, good point, Renee. If it works for you, it's all good. You make your own personal plan and then you tweak it a lil' bit one way or the other. You can't have the same rules for everyone, it's not an exact science. There are too many factors to consider. Age, Sex, Lil' kids, Exercise habits ... A...

bluebunny27

Yeah, good point, Butterfly ! Update, actually I was *BAD* last night, which I had not anticipated. I just felt extremely hungry, tired, frustrated over a couple of things that happened during the day, stressed ... and I ate 2 bagels, 2 boiled eggs, cheese and mayo, 3 cookies, even a small piece of ...

bluebunny27

Evaluating Green / Yellow and Red days. There are a lot of grey areas, you can be 100% green and that is awesome of course, but even if you have a tiny lil' bit of something it doesn't make you lose your green day, at least that's what I think. Nobody's perfect 100% of the time really. A 95% effort ...

bluebunny27

Hey, awesome ! Yeah, I always put disclaimers everywhere, even in my daily life !! ;-) Glad you are doing well, Mimi. You work hard and then you are rewarded. I've had a great 'Double green' day, I'll definitely be in the low 215's at my next weigh in. 36 hours from now, especially with another DG t...

bluebunny27

Ok, green time required. Another typical double green day today. Being careful with the diet, writing down what'll have on a piece of paper. I have all my possible food choices in a text file on the pc, so it takes only a couple of minutes to make my selection for each meal. I usually do that in the...

Oh, here's my HabitCal for your perusal. http://i43.tinypic.com/1z1rzer.jpg I changed the image and the link so you only have the 2 main habits, nutrition and training. Cheers !

Oh, here's my HabitCal for your perusal. http://i43.tinypic.com/1z1rzer.jpg Oh, another thing I do is I usually plan my HabitCal days 4-5-6 days in advance, I adjust along the way if I have to ... I know in advance when I will have to be good and when I may have an intentional yellow ... never any r...

bluebunny27

It's a constant struggle ! You have to get used to this being hard, might take a long time .... then when it gets easier, you wonder why you were having trouble in the first place. Now for me it's really normal when I feel hungry, it's the norm, it's pretty rare that I feel like I am completely full...

bluebunny27

Switching on and off based on the calendar, weekend vs week days would be pretty hard for me. I prefer to be on most of the time and decide by myself when I need a yellow day. It's good that you've been doing so well though, despite a few glitches ! Cheers ! Marc ;-) Disclaimer : I am following a mo...

bluebunny27

Well, it seems pretty clear the monthly challenges are helping many people to keep their habits in the GREEN so that's all good. It's a motivation tool. I am always up for a challenge ! ;-) It'll seem strange once I am done with this crazy year, I am so used to focusing on all this, diet and exercis...

bluebunny27

hehe ! Kids ! Shouldn't it be called the 'No J' diet then ?? ;-) It's a good idea because most junk foods is really not too good for you. Besides, you can make tasty burgers at home if you really want to, go easy on the condiments and the cheese and have a salad as a side dish, or a baked potato in ...

bluebunny27

Hum, yeah, that would be a surprise !! :-) I have all the favorable conditions to be more extreme though, people who have kids and are married have to deal with a lot more things that can disrupt their diet and exercise programs. I can do what I want when I want most week days. I have control over w...

bluebunny27

Oh nice, c'est trÃ¨s bien ! ;-) 'Youpi' is definitely french. I noticed it too the other day but I forgot to mention it. It comes and goes really, sometimes there's a stretch where I am struggling, usually that doesn't last too long 2-3-4 days that are harder and then I get focused again and I am fi...

Ok, I was asked to put a disclaimer before and it was mentioned again today. ;-) No problem, I'm very niiiiiice.

Good work, Butterfly. Some days are easier for some reason, huh ?? Others you really have to fight hard not to get into trouble ... strange !! Youpi ?? Do you speak french ?? ;-) "Youpi is the French word equivalent for Yahoo! or Yippee! . With an extra p (Youppi), it is also the name of the Montrea...

bluebunny27

Alright. I was supposed to have a green day for the exercise yesterday but I only had a yellow since something came up and it was too late to exercise in the evening after that. I just cycled for 35 minutes in the afternoon. There were a LOT of people in the bicycle path too since it was a nice suns...

bluebunny27

hehe ! Well, my scale has a 0.2 pound range that's why I can be more precise now. My old scale used to have a 0.5 pound range. I like the precision of the new scale, seems reliable too. I bought my new scale in february when the old one started malfunctioning. It was an old scale though, I had been ...

bluebunny27

Alright, I'm back. I went out last night, had a bit of wine and beer ... this gives me a yellow. I am feeling good though. Should be a double green day today to get the TOXINS out of my system (the alcohol !!) I'll cycle in the late afternoon probably, nice and sunny day. It's usually pretty tough t...

bluebunny27

****** Yeah, red days are depressing .. I am glad I have found multiple ways to avoid 'em ... I only had 2 in may, hopefully no more until the end of the month too. it REALLY helps to keep the weight down. It makes it a lot easier, I don't have to train as much even and I still lose weight.

I use a board to cut them up cos' I had a...

I finally came up with the right system for me, one that seems to work and that I can follow as well. It's no use aimi...

bluebunny27

Yeah, 21 days ! I'm sure you will get good results on the scale. Screen capture programs, these might be even more simple if you are not an expert, and they're all free to use.

Same ol' green day today. I am waiting to see if it'll rain though. It is possible but not certain. I'll go cycle 35 minutes if it doesn't rain and if it does I'll have to do my exercise inside. 60 minutes, shovelglove, jumping jacks, calisthenics, etc. I went to the library earlier, borrowed a boo...

bluebunny27

You can use a program to take a picture of your screen. (or just a portion of your screen, you can adjust it in a few seconds) I do that all the time. I use : '5 clicks screen captures' Works really fine. I have been using it for years. Simple and effective. I'll send it to you in a .zip file if you...

bluebunny27

Renee, I keep you busy, huh ?? Making popcorn, making yogurt, cutting up veggies, making a chicken salad ... but what about making your own BEER ? ;-) I cut down on that too and it seems to help with the diet & exercise. I now only have about 50-60% of the beer/wine I used to have before mid april. ...

bluebunny27

Good work, Mimi. Yeah, I explained it before. I use 'SpreadPro' ... a program similar to Excel really, only more simple to use ...

Thanks, Butter(fly) and Mimi. The problem when you do this is you try to be good 100% of the time at first .... and you try and you try, it's really hard, I'll never be in the 21 day club, a red day usually slips in, lol ! sometimes it's not even possible to avoid it, when there's a party or a speci...

bluebunny27

Good point, Renee. When you fail, it feels bad of course. But then the very next day you are back up again, 2 great days straight and all is forgotten. I like that. I have more control, I know if I fail I can make up for it easily, that's what I just did after a tough time on saturday and sunday. I ...

21 !! 21 !! 21 !! (Crowd chanting) ;-) Awesome last minute save, Renee !

You can basically eat those ...

Fantastic ! 21 days is a long time without any downfalls. I'm doing very well today, in control ...

Yes, I like the planning in advance too ... Good work, Butter. ;-) It's like on my Habitcal, I usually plan it one week in advance and then I adjust the green/yellow/red squares based on what has been going on ... Once I am at the end of the week I plan the next week as well ... Cheers ! Marc ;-)

bluebunny27

Awesome work, Berry !

Anyway, you have a lot of discipline to achieve this so you should be proud.

bluebunny27

Yeah, when you shovelglove, the first few minutes don't seem so hard .. but then .. wow ! You're definitely sweating by the end of the 14 minutes ... or more. I usually do around 18-20 minutes per session with a 14 pound sledgehammer.

Ok, not a lot of time today. 5-16 Guests are expected later ... so my plan for the day is to avoid a red day basically. Guests often make it harder cos' there's more food available, people drink a bit of wine and beer, that sort of thing. It's easier to follow a diet and exercise routine when you li...

Butterfly, you set the goals you want to reach ... I know I wanted to set a goal that was not years away but since I had about 85 pounds to lose I thought it should still take at least one year.

Hey, thanks Nichole ! 5-10 pounds shouldn't be too complicated ! ;-) You can even split it if you want. Lose 2 pounds per month and in 5 months you are done.

Thanks, Butterfly ! ;-) What I usually do to get started is select a date ... and that's the day I begin the program, no excuses, no delays ... This time I picked nov. 1st 2008. You have to be 100% motivated to do this on your own when you start though, then you stick it out ... I would find it depr...

Hehe ! Well, all I know is I only tried twice to lose some weight and both times I did it on the first try, I don't quit once I have decided to do it. In the early 90's (1990 ? 1991 ?) I lost 35 pounds within 100 days and now I've lost around 61 pounds in 6 and a half months. My mistake after the in...

Good point, Savita. I know in many countries people make their own yogurt all the time (Sometimes, it's not called yogurt of course, but it all starts with milk, a starter, and a bit of heat) They make it outside when it's hot enough ! In north america we are more used to going to the store to buy y...

Yes, I made yogurt for the first time yesterday actually. Went really well and now I know how much time is required for the milk to heat up to the right temperature in the microwave. I made a regular yogurt container 's worth, 650g., it should last me nearly a week. It turned out real fine too. It's...

Everybody's different ... some people fall multiple times, others none. I know when I have my mind set on losing weight, I don't quit until I am done. If the regular NO S is too hard, you might want to tweak it a lil' bit ... changing some of the rules as I did so you can handle it better ... You ca...

Yeah, I'm alright ! It was a bit too extreme for my taste though. My friend said that he hadn't slept at all the night before so he was really tired and got enraged by the other motorist's behavior (Which was stupid of course, but I would have honked the horn briefly at the most, not for 2 seconds s...

Good work Renee ... Tulips ;-) Hey, Happy Mother's day to you ! I've been doing alright except for last night where I had too much wine and also .... chocolate. I was involved in a pretty severe and intense road rage incident as a huh ... witness. I was ridin' SHOTGUN in the car that was cut off and...

bluebunny27

Hey, thanks ! Yeah, I'll be a lil' more quiet about my personal methods since they are not Pure No S. I'm not doing it by the book, not because I don't think it works by the book, just because I want quicker results of course. The toughest part for me is usually to get started in a direction, once I...

Any time I see a system/diet where you have to order all sorts of meals and powders I am 'turned off' right away. I'd rather cook my meals myself ... 1st, I love cooking ... nothing too fancy, just good home cooked meals, typical stuff you know ... ;-) 2nd, I know what's in it too since I prepared i...

Good work with your weight loss, Dave. Impressive results are always inspiring ! I never used that brand you mention, I'll investigate, thanks for the tip. Yeah, I read that you can't really have problems with artificial sweeteners unless you take really large doses of course ... well, apparently it...

I never had any almond milk ... thanks for the tip, I'll investigate this a bit more to see if I can have a daily sip of that ...

I saw the product at the grocery store earlier today, never been tempted to try it .. until now.

Cheers !

Yeah, all sorts of plans ... most of 'em won't work because you don't eat normally ... No S and its variations, that's the best plan. I mean I was watching a program last night, a documentary that was on TV in England recently ... a heavy set woman was trying to lose weight, I think she weighed 280 ...

Hey, thanks JessDr. Nice to see you had those ideas already ! :-) I am even thinking of starting making my own CHEESE at home, apparently it's not that hard either ... lol ! Somebody stop me ! The mad scientist ! ;-) Bread, bagel and pizza dough coming up ?? Cheese : http://tinyurl.com/dcup87 This s...

Nice to have so many different opinions ... I guess I shouldn't feel too guilty about adding one more teaspoon of sugar in my coffee ... if it's not sweet enough with just one ! I'll stir a lot, good idea. :-) I usually put half 2% milk and half 'Coffee mate' in the cup. (A lil' bit of both) I know,...

Oh, I was researching some really healthy food the other day and someone mentioned 'Wheat germ' so I checked it out a lil' bit more and today since I was at the grocery store ... I looked ... and found it ! Wow, this is a super additive you can use in plenty of different things, yogurt, cereals, etc...
