One day I will be thin enough. Just the bones, no disfiguring flesh. Just the pure clear shape of me, bones. That is what we all are, what we're made up of and everything else is just storage, deposit, waste. Strip it away, use it up. <33

Important Bulletins

Sorry I couldn't update yesterday girlies. I've just been crazy busy lately. Don't worry I'm not going to abandon you again - I'm going to keep up with daily updates or at least every other day updates if I can't get around to it on a certain day.

Ok, so your extra 10 points were earned from eating at least 3 different fruits veggies / making a thinspo collage. You were supposed to have done both of those things by today. If you did one, give yourself 10 points. If you did both, give yourself 20 points. You all did wonderfully on your collages by the way - they're beautiful.  Tomorrow's extra 10 points can be earned by doing 300 crunches. Good luck lovelies!

Once again, my site has been updated. I'm glad to see that it seems like you all are enjoying it, please continue giving me feedback.

Yesterday's Topic was Everything You Need to Know About Exercise.

Exercise is obviously a crucial part of weight loss. Not only does it help you burn calories and speed up your metabolism, but it will help tone and shape the muscle you have, making you look lean and fit. Plus, exercise releases endorphins in your body, elevating your mood and making you happier...and who doesn't want to be happier?

For your convenience, I have gathered several websites to help you with your exercise. Yay!

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/exercise/HQ01676 << Lists several motivating and convincing benefits as to why you should exercise.

http://www.seventeen.com/health/train << Go here to watch several different types of exercise demonstrations. Work those abs, boost your energy and get a toned body right in time for summer!

http://www.annecollins.com/exercise-calories/index.htm << This site has a list of hundreds of common foods and drinks and tells you just how much exercise you need to do and of what kind in order to burn off what you ate.

http://www.caloriecontrol.org/exercalc.html << This site allows you to enter your weight to find out how many calories you personally will burn doing a given exercise.  

http://www.fitday.com/ << Finally, you can use the FitDay site to help track your progress, list your goals and keep a journal of what you're doing in relation to your weight loss.

Enjoy!

 

Today's Topic is Make the Perfect Salad.

Salad is a food many of us indulge in, because it's low in calories and full of negative calorie foods we seem to like so much. However, salads can get bland and boring if you're eating the same plain salad every night.

First off, if you're going to have a salad - avoid cheeses and croutons. It defeats the point of having a salad if you're just going to pile extra calories on top.

Second, contrary to popular belief, you can use salad dressing. Forget those plain, dry, lettuce only salads you see many people eating. Most Fat Free dressings contain about 60 calories per every 2 tablespoons. Use 1 tablespoon, and that's only an extra 30 calories. Fat Free Raspberry Vinaigrette Salad (very tasty, I use it on my salad) contains a mere 35 calories per 2 tablespoons. Use half of that, and that's practically nothing. And now for the big whopper. Wish-bone Salad Spritzers contain only one calorie per spritz. You can fully dress your salad for a small amount of 10 calories, or you can opt for less and have practically no calories, but yummy dressing on your salad nonetheless. Cool, right?

Finally, if you want the best salad possible - make it yourself. Bag salads tend to be full of pesticides and add more vegetables in than you might really need. Just grab a head of lettuce and some low calorie salad, and maybe a few carrots or two and you're set. A wonderful, low calorie dinner!

I have 314 points for the entire span of the challenge thus far (I recounted three times because I'm anal like that...lol)

But honestly I get so, so discouraged because right before the challenge I lost 6 pounds really quickly and now since I've started the challenge I've lost 1 pound.  I'm plateauing so hard and it's just crushing me.  Oh well, I'll keep on fighting, It can't possibly last forever.  it's just really getting to me.

Your site is looking great! =)

Thank you for all the awesome websites about exercise and such.  They'll help a lot.  I already use fitday!  I love that website!  Fantastic, and it's heaps easy to use.

I've lost track of the every 5 day thing so i'll just post my points since the last time i posted them which i think was only a couple of days ago.  I'll let you know once i count them up.  Sorry about losing track.

my points for the last five days are 118. My total points for the whole challenge so far are 272.

It's so disappointing. I lost 10 pounds easy at first, and now not only am I plateauing, I'm gaining because of being on vacation/under constant supervision. It's so awful

I can't believe people actually take that thing seriously.
Torturing yourself should become a contest, a game nowadays ?

No, really. Girls who will follow this kind of madness run into their own death, often without noticing. How can you support that?!
