[cruisingfor5]

Thank so much cruisingfor5! I will shop this weekend for ingredients. I gained 9 pounds on my cruise this month!:eek: Some serious water weight cause in a week I lost 6 pounds! Lol These smoothies will be a help getting fruit and veggies!

Here is another 1 of 30 I have that I really enjoyed.

 

Lemon Lime Detox Smoothie

 

1 Frozen Banana

1 Lime, peeled

½ Lemon, juice only

2 Oranges, juiced (if you put the whole orange in your

smoothie will be bitter)

2 handfuls of Kale, Spinach or other greens

Cruisingfor5, thank you. That one really sounds good!

 

Hey Diane, Michigander here also. Yes the weather stinks. Wish I was back in the Caribbean!

[cruisingfor5]

I would be happy with pound a week also. This week I stayed the same but better than going up I guess :)

I am down 2 pounds this week. I will take that!

Hello!! I would love to join this group. :) I'm trying to lose 25-30 pounds before I cruise in September. I managed to lose 2 pounds last week, I did so good with my eating and exercising. This week I put it right back on, so now I have to start over :(

I am happy I found this group to help keep me motivated for the next few months. It's nice that we all have close to the same goals here :)

Welcome Andrea.:)

How is everyone doing this week?

I'm down 1.5 lbs this week. I have really stepped up my workout 45 min on treadmill doing between 3 - 4 mph and inclines up to ten. I'm trying really hard to walk for 5 min jog for 1-2 min then walk. working out really really hard with my bowflex and free weights for other 30 min. I also have been going to yoga every week I'm really enjoying it.

Tryed on all my 12 for dress and they are all to big:)

Whats everyone else doing for workout?

Down a pound this week, I lost 6 last week so I will take it. I need to get more exercise. I am walking brisk 3 days a week so I want to up it to 4 times and raise the time to eventually get up to 45 minutes. I mixed it up with weights and aerobic dance. Next week I think I will add in some Wii Fit. Doing better with the veggies and fruit partly due to cruisingfor5 sharing her smoothie recipes. Good luck to all this week! Cindy

I would love to join this group.

We're doing a 15 night Hawaiian cruise in November and I would love to be 50 pounds lighter.

[cruisingfor5]

WTG on the weight loss! Myself I walk briskly with my sister every night for about 50 minutes in the freezing cold.LOL. I really need to start doing some weight training again. Chocolate has got the best of me this weekend and with Easter coming up I need to start being strong.

 

Welcome always cruisin!

My husband and me are doing a cruise in November for my 50th birthday. I have lost a little over 20 pounds so far and would like to lose an additional 35 pounds.

 

Can I join the group?

For sure you can join the group! And great job on the 20lbs.

 

I am starting a new 30 day green smoothie challenge tomorrow. They e-mailed me my grocery list and going to stock up on all the supplies for the first week. Looking forward to the daily recipes I receive. Always do better with my weight loss when starting my day with one.

[mountainbreeze]

I started the Atkins diet TODAY! :) I bought all of the ingredients to follow on of their menu plans for the week. It cost more than I wanted to spend on a diet, but if it works I'll be happy.

 

I am doing 40 minutes of Zumba a day, and I'll try to add more ecercise as I go.

I'll come back and update as I go

[cruisingfor5]

Started my day with my first smoothie of the 30 day challenge. Wasn't bad but wasn't my favorite. Just got in from a two hour hike with my children. Slow but moving. DD shared a couple of pieces of her Easter candy but I was good and stopped there. Now making myself a peach tea.

 

Day 1 recipe

 

1 cup coconut water

1 banana

3 kale leaves

hand full of parsley

1 inch cube of ginger

1 tbsp chia seeds

Day two green smoothie

 

2 cup blueberries (I use frozen)

1-2 cup coconut water

handful of parsley

1 cup kale or spinach

1 tbsp chia seeds

 

Followed by a very large salad for lunch. Trying to resist all the Easter goodies in the house. Need to start losing if I want to meet my goal.

[mountainbreeze]

Sounds like w are all doing good! I've done 3 days of the Atkins diet along with 40-60 min of zumba a day. So far I have almost lost 3 pounds. I hope I can keep the momentum up........so far so good! :)

 

Keep up the good work everyone!!!

[cruisingfor5]

Good job Andrea! Down a bit this week but not as much as I would have liked but I will take it. Heading over the border to Detroit for a hockey tournament for the weekend. Usually not the best eating when at these things but a whole lot of fun :) Hope everyone has a great weekend.

[aniemi51]

Well- I went on a short cruise (4 day) over the Easter weekend. Total damage done - up 3 pounds, but we had a lot of fun. I am back on plan without any trouble so hopefully this will come off easily. Now that it is maybe getting warmer I can get out for walks more and get things really moving!

[vickieonacruise]

Hi everyone. I am cruising in Oct 13 as well. I want to get rid of 50 lbs at least. I'm taking my daughter and would love to look good in photos with her. I am ashamed to admit that I do not allow anyone to take pictures of me due to my weight. I went on my first cruise last year and was horrified when I was caught in some photos. I actually cried when I saw them. My problem is that I work 3rd shift and travel for work. I need someone, or a lot of someones :D, to buddy with to help me get through this journey. I do have the ability to cook in my hotel rooms and can also make smoothies. So...got room for one more?:o
