I saw that in the 300+ group they are doing a biggest loser challenge for Jan. 4th to March 29th and I thought it would be fun to do something like that if anyone is up for it! We could either do that same time frame or something different and post our weights once a week.
Let me know what you all think! :)

I'll join you too. I always need a motivator, I've been feeling blah here lately,so count me in!

Good Luck everyone,

2ndChance09

12-28-2008, 11:54 AM

Yay more people!! Feel free to post your weigh in dates when you want!

I think the new season starts Jan. 6th but I am not totally sure on that. I can't wait for the new season, I get so motivated from that show. I watched most of the last season but stopped watching after all the drama with Heba and esp. Vicki so then I didn't watch until the finale. Hopefully the next season will be drama free.

Ok here are my weigh in dates, it so happens that my weigh day falls on Tuesday because I started the "metamorphisis" sp? on Tuesday 12-9-08. :D
I'm going for 26 pounds, that's 2 pounds a week. ;) Thanks for the info on biggest loser too! I missed the Vickie drama, but I did catch the finale, they looked so different!

LuvMyMr

12-28-2008, 09:45 PM

Me too! In fact I just told my mom that I am doing the challenge and she is going to help me babysit more in the evening so that I can work out! I just found out that the park nearby my house, less than a mile away, has a lovely walking path that one time around is one and 1/4th miles. I plan on starting tomorrow as I love walking and it seems to relax me. My husband has put a lot of music into my mp3 player and I just bought new tennis shoes so I am ready! I hope to work up to five miles by at least February 2009. Once I can use my signature I will be posting my weight loss, miles, etc. This is gonna be fun! :carrot: :hug:

I lost close to 100 lbs once, then gained back 60 lbs, and back down 20 again. According to the news, no one is looking forward to 2009 but I want this to be my year for Onderland.

January 5th- 318.8 lbs to start

** EDIT: I've decided to change my goal and try to be at 163 by March 26th! Whoo, I'm feeling motivated and optimistic today! 163 puts me at the top of my healthy BMI range. I realize this is very ambitious and if I don't make it, I won't be disappointed, but it gives me something to strive for!!

Starting Weight, Dec 31st: 196lbs

Jan 1st: 196lbs -- -/+ 0
Jan 8th: 192lbs -- -4lbs
Jan 15th: 191lbs -- - 1lb (5lbs total) I was totally down at 189 yesterday...darn TOM

I also planned out my workout so that I can get off a few extra pounds when I weigh in on Monday! hee hee. :D I will be posting my weight Monday morning after I come back from working out.

Hey Everybody, so here's the bad news: GAINED 5 LBS

Had my little (putting it mildly) temper tamtrum - had a huge breakfast, workout and I am officially back on track...it's amazing the clarity "sweating" brings...

I vow to everyday enter all I consume on Fitday, eat my dinner by 7. I will only weigh myself twice a week (at least till the end on Jan - than only on Sundays).

I will post my measurements at the end of January...I was out of obese and into overweight - still feeling the sting of that reality...

This is an important weigh in for me because I haven't been 270 anything for more than two years!!! In fact when I was with my ex boyfriend I was 275 and haven't been lower since. I am definitely going to stick to this and get BELOW 275!! Maybe even next weigh in! I am estatic right now!!! I am so proud of myself. :encore:

Thank you and I am! I love the new confidence I have now. Yesterday hubby and I were having a nookie session :p and I got up, nude with the lights on!!! He could see me but I didn't mind!!! First time in a very very very long time. I used to tell him to leave the lights off or would run when he went to turn the lights on to cover myself. He would even tell me before he would turn the lights on because he knew I liked a prewarning so that I could cover up. Sad isn't it and he's my husband. I have come a long way. Last night I stood butt naked letting it all show and didn't care! Woo hoo! :lol:

I will weigh in on Tuesdays! Thanks!

Ya know, I'm not doing so great! On Sunday when I weighed in I was at 264 and today I'm at 266 and honestly...(really) I didn't cheat! I don't get it!! The only difference was adding exercise (which shouldn't make me gain weight as I can't build muscle in a few days) and I started taking a fibre pill. I will hang in there until next weigh in and if I don't start loosing more than I'll have to re-evaluate what I'm doing and make some changes if necessary.

Does it happen to be near your time of the month? I know that I have major water retention around that time.

Are you drinking a lot of water to flush everything out? Also this might be TMI but if you haven't had a good BM in a few days that could show up on the scale.

I thought about my "time" but to be honest (and slightly ashamed) I don't mark when it's coming...it's just an (un)happy surprise so I am not sure, it doesn't FEEL like it's been a month already but time has a way of flying.

No, I don't drink as much water as I should...so that's a great point. I really TRY but often don't make the time to flush myself properly so that could be a huge factor.

AND totally laughing over here 'cause the BM thing crossed my mind since it's probably PART of my problem. But I can't admit that 'cause it would finally prove that yes indeed I AM full of s%*t!!! :D

Thanks for the suggestions...let's hope it works itself out in the end. Hee hee!!! Here's hopin' for a better Sunday!! :carrot:

I ran down by the beach last night. I was supposed to meetup with some other people but due to horrible traffic, I was really late. I wound up running by myself for several blocks, thinking I would run into them but then I realized I was running up the wrong street and got freaked out. SO- I cut across to the right street and ran all the way back to the cars only to discover that they still weren't back yet. I waited for them so they would know I came! Well, I thought I had run so far but it turns out that I ran just over 2 miles total. :( I am in training right now and I really needed to do at least 3.

Seeing as I weigh religiously, I know I'm already down 1.5lbs. Hopefully that sticks or goes down even more over the weekend! Darn weekends always screw me up. And Sunday night is my mom's bday and we are going to the melting pot! YUMMMMMM

I weigh every day as well and I'm down almost 2 lbs ;) Now knowing that my period is coming sunday or monday I'm expecting to hold steady or go up a tiny bit.

Staying on plan. More cravings than normal (and more grouchy/sleeping/achy than normal too) but not faltering on my course :)

I am doing very well! I have been working out twice a day all week and I plan on doing it again today! I love that my hourglass figure is coming back!! Boy that has been gone for a loooooong time. :D Even last night after I ate a meal of brown rice and veggies and felt like I was going to burst, I held up my gown and my figure was still there. That has not happened since before I had my second child more than 7 years ago! It has also made me realize that I was doing so bad before. I was heavy for so many years and I spent so much money eating all kinds of the wrong things. Fried this, smothered that and I blew through so much money and I let myself go so bad and when I was thinking about it I was near tears. Even if I hadn't found this forum, I know I can never ever go back to that life every again. Those years were the most miserable of my entire life and I thank God that I woke up and got my s*** together and started getting healthy and doing the right things for my health and well being.

That is great that there are so many people doing so well! I need to follow your lead! I am having major pms and have felt tired and sluggish this week and have slacked off a bit. I am going to stay on track today though! I am going to take my girls on a walk in a bit and that is always a good work out. Pushing a double stroller with a 2 and 4 year old is hard! I also want to do my exercise video tonight. I am still hoping for a loss this week but at this point I just hope I haven't gained!

I keep editing my original post for my weigh ins but I just wanted to say "wahooooo!!!" 'cause I'm down 3lbs this week!!

Yesterday I was down 4 but than I had Chinese food for dinner AND I had too many snacks last night...shame, shame, shame :o .

BUT I'm okay with that 'cause I enjoyed it and I didn't eat nearly as much as I would have before I started this journey. I had a small plate and made myself a big salad to go with it. Four months ago I would have piled my plate and likely had seconds. :dizzy: . So I'm celebrating this small victory, that I allowed myself a treat (and avoided a huge binge) and acknowledge the consequence SO I'll pick myself back up and move on.

Have a great day everyone!!

My starting loss seems huge but it's because I have hidden food allergies. Not life-threatening but when I eat them, they make me retain a lot of water. So when I stop eating them, the water weight melts off. It'll slow down after a couple of weeks. It is a good motivator to see that number there, though!

I just weighed in and I have lost 2 more lbs this week so I am down to 200! I am very excited! I am not sure how I did it since I didn't do too well with eating this week but I exercised a lot and drank a ton of water so I guess that helped!

Aunt Flo had me sidelined today. I worked out, finished at 12 and went back to bed until 4:48! The cramps were out of control and I was near tears. I hate her but you know how that is. She will be gone in a few days and watch out for my next weigh in because I know I have lost weight before she came. I have on a pair of pants from last week that were loose and today I had to put a pin in them to keep them up! Now I want Sunday to be here because I know I am going to do really well. I always weigh in heavy when she is here, usually up to 5 pounds but I am happy that I have a weight loss. Still doing very good with my diet. The day before she came I had bad cravings but I found a big ice cold glass of water helps a lot. So does fruit when I want sweets but I am happy with any kind of loss with Flo visiting so I am happy. :carrot:

Sorry to hear about your bad week! Glad your kiddos are on the mend.

As for giving up sweets I just don't - I work them into my plan along with oranges, apples, and bananas which aren't "sweets" but help give me healthy sweet like substances.

I eat Skinny Cow Mint Ice Cream Sandwiches (140 calories -I think- and it's a HUGE Ice Cream Sandwich) and a square or two of Lindt 70% dark chocolate with chili oil for 50 calories a square. I also use whipped cream on fruit for a wonderful 100ish calorie snack. I don't want to give up sweets for life so I had to find a place to work them in.

If you want to cut down, try really savoring that sweet treat when you get it - I eat my chocolate very slowly. And if you like mint ice cream those skinny cow sandwiches are a life saver.

I would also like to thank 2ndChance for starting this challenge, its great!! And you are SOOO gonna be in Onderland by next week! I'm so excited for you!

...how are we picking the winner? Just like they do on the show? The percentage of weight you've lost from the start to finish?

Do they do it by percentage or by total pounds? Percentage would make more sense because someone who is 180 is not going to lose as many pounds as someone my size. But I always thought they did it by pounds. I should really try watching that show - when is it on?

I just wanted to throw out a "Congrats!" to everyone who went down this week! YAY!! My TOM starts later this week, so I'm not sure if I'll see a loss or not on Thursday, but I'm so glad that everyone else is doing so well!

I've decided to do a little TOM Challenge for myself. We have a fully stocked cookie jar downstairs and usually I can just bypass it and move on, but the week before TOM, it just calls to me and I usually end up caving and eating cookies all the time. I'm challenging myself to stay completely on plan during this TOM. That means no extra snacking or sneaking cookies! If I can work it into my points for the day, then I'll have it, but otherwise, no! Argh, it's gonna be hard, but I'll come here for support!

And I am so gonna make a Biggest Loser ticker. Great idea girls!

I love my Wii fit!! I use it for exercise every morning but I am starting to feel like I need to up my workout. I do the 10 min hula hoops (advanced or expert I can't remember) and ya, um...that's a long time to hula!! LOL!! I feel your pain! I do the boxing but try to keep with the intermediate cause the footwork on the advanced totally messes me up!! LOL! I do the step aerobics (intermediate I think) and I run on the spot for the island distance run but not the island lap (I've done it twice but it's really hard! LOL). I've tried really hard to get into the yoga and strength training but all the talking in between and the pauses with rating drive me crazy...I just want to move from one pose to the other so I guess I'm too impatient.

Hey everyone! I really wanted to weigh myself but so far I haven't and am trying to hold out for my weigh in day (Sunday). I can't wait to see if I have lost this week, I really hope that I have!

BTW is anyone watching the new season of TBL? I think it will be a good season. Are there any favorites so far or anyone you don't like?!

2ndChance09

01-16-2009, 07:54 PM

^wow great job with your weight loss! WTG!! :) I also like this season and think and hope it will be drama free. I know what you mean about last season. I got annoyed because I think some people on the show lost sight of why they were really there (to lose weight and get healthy) and forgot what an amazing opportunity they had that most people would kill for!

This group is wonderful because they are so supportive! When they all helped Dan up the hill I was teary BUT when he didn't see great results on the scale despite his hard work...I did cry...along with almost everyone there. And when the brown dad went to bat for why Dan needs to stay and what will happen to him if he went home...I really love them...it will be a great season!!

01-18-2009, 08:20 AM

Getting close to weigh in day, I'm a little nervous, to be honest. I had such a great loss last week (9 lbs, which I know, most was water) I feel like I'm guaranteed to have no loss, or even a slight gain, since I went off plan one day this week. Anyone else feeling dreadfor that second week wackiness?

week #2 - Goal - 30lbs

weigh in dates:

jan 17: 238.8 - down .8
I had a really good week, so I was surprised it wasn't more, but a loss is a loss!

Good luck this week everyone!

Could someone please make this a sticky thread with just the weigh ins? It would be a lot easier to navigate that way. :) Then we could have the other conversation threads (like they do on the exercise board).

I'm off to the City today, my son is getting his surgery on Tuesday, we had to put it off because of the -50C weather and my van popped a steering fluid hose when it was that cold the day before we were supposed to leave. So now I leave today. Wish us luck and I'm more determined than ever to stay on plan.

I lost one lb this week, I was hoping for more but the good news is that I am back in onederland so that is exciting for me! I am going to push hard this week and am hoping for a bigger loss!

QTestRDH

01-18-2009, 02:40 PM

Congrats 2ndchance! I knew you'd be in Onederland this week!! I hope I'm not too far behind you!

I had a great week, which I'm surprised about because I ate kinda crappy because I was PMSing BIG time! So I indulged, and yesterday I finally got my period so the craving disappeared. The best news of all is, I hopped on the scale today and I'm down to 217!! Thats a loss of 4lbs. I must've been retaining water this week and dropped it the minute I got my period! Woohoo, I'll take it!

I hope everyone else had a great week!

rodeogirl

01-19-2009, 05:38 AM

Lalique - I've been bouncing up and down all week too - I'm hoping tomorrow will be a bounce down, lol. I think I'm retaining more water than normal due to TOM and all that walking I did over the weekend. But who knows. My body has a mind of it's own sometimes.

Stick with it and we'll see a loss next week!

kiki100

01-19-2009, 07:37 AM

Down 2. But bodies do weird things! I was down to 257 (which would have been a big celebratory WOOHOO 'cause that would be 50lbs for me) BUT my TOM is coming and I haven't had a BM in a few days (it's TMI I know...sorry) so I see the scale go up. I hate that. I agree with Rodeogirl Lalique, you'll see a loss next week!!

For me this is a huge lesson in why I should only look at the scale once a week. It can be a bit obsessive for me and instead of celebrating that I've lost 2lbs I'm bummed because it should have been 4. The scale can be pure evil.

:D

Good job everyone!!

For those of you that are gaining or keeping at the same weight don't be hard on yourself. For one thing I know that whenever I am nearing that time of the month I gain a lot of water weight and even if that isn't your case the important thing is that you are checking in and staying accountable and that is very important for staying on track! I am proud of everyone here for commiting and trying so hard. We can all do this!!! If anyone ever wants to pm me to chat I would love to, I think coming on here and talking to people helps so much with motivation!

You are all doing so awesome, keep up the good work!!!! :)

Hope everyone is still doing good. TOM has arrived, so I hope I can lose the water weight before weigh-in on Thursday. Right now I am showing a gain grrrrr! And I have stayed op for the most part only had one maybe 2 days that I went over my points in the last 2 weeks.

2ndChance09

01-20-2009, 07:12 PM

This is prob. a dumb question but what is TOM? I have heard people on here talk about it and I never know what it is lol.

I just got back from a walk with my girls. It felt good. Oddly enough I haven't been very hungry today. It is my 3rd day of no smoking and I thought it would be tough with eating but today I haven't felt great and just haven't been hungry. I have been drinking lots of water and tea though. I am still hoping for a loss this week, that would be a major feat with quitting smoking in the same week. I can hope anyway!! :)

Hope everyone is doing great!!

rodeogirl

01-21-2009, 12:38 AM

Tom is hitting me hard, aren't there laws against that?

I am craving all kinds of food the past two days. I'm going to ride it out for now but I may bump my calories up by 100/day if this lasts after TOM hits the road.

Baileysmomma

01-21-2009, 08:55 AM

Its going to be a long 'on the road' day for me today. DS has to go to the Dr., then will have to go to the hospital for blood work. I do much better when I am home all day. I will need lots of willpower.

KimL1214

01-21-2009, 09:40 AM

Baileysmomma~ Whoa 5 miles, AWESOME! Good luck today!

2ndChance~ It took me forever to figure it out too...

rodeogirl~ I’m lucky, when TOM hits I feel so crappy that I don’t like to eat and tend to drink TONS of water.

I made some weight watchers chicken tortilla soup last night and it is amazing! I’m sharing it with my colleagues at school today as we are starting a new thing where a few people make different healthy soups every Wednesday and share (today is the first one, so I signed up to get it out of the way).

purplecrush

01-21-2009, 10:57 AM

Sounds like everyone is doing good!!

2ndChance09- good luck on quitting smoking! I hear it can be terrible :)

Yesterday I ended up walking 6 miles! I did 2 miles at home [gotta love OnDemand] and walked the track with a friend I havent seen since grade school. We ended up walking 4 miles! Needless to say, my legs are sore...but in a good way!!

Then came home and watched BL and was very disappointed :(

2ndChance09

01-21-2009, 12:20 PM

I didn't see last nights episode, I am going to watch it today!

Well I am still doing well with not smoking but am still not feeling great. I am sure by the end of the week I will feel better. I know it is harder for me because DH is continuing to smoke a lot. Anyway I am going to do my exercise soon. I haven't weighed myself yet this week. I am really trying to stick to weighing once a week so I don't get obsessed with it but sometimes I like to weigh myself mid week just to check in and see how I am doing. For awhile I was losing 2 lbs a week and I hope to get back to that. I know that will mean really sticking to my food plan though and exercising every day!

Hope everyone is having a good week!

Yay! I hit a 10lb weight loss (total) today! I'm excited because I didn't think this week would amount to much because of my nephew being over (and him having a sweet tooth and wanting beignets and smores) and a 1lb gain on Sunday. I started calorie counting on Monday and I guess thats what made the difference! YAY!

I weighed in a day earlier because I have school tomorrow from 8am-8pm and I know I will be sllleeeeppppy!

Great job Cece!

Really bad weigh in last night. I gained back 3.2 of the 4.8 lbs. I lost last week. I'm starting to get used to being and feeling sick so there really is no excuse for me not to be moving more. I just need to plan in more rest time for after activities, but there is no excuse for me to be inactive and eating cruddy food. There is no way that gaining my weight back could help me get better, losing weight might though. I really need a kick in the butt and some support, but I feel like everyone at home is more concerned about how sick I am then how I am doing with my weight loss. I wish they could see that gaining weight just makes me depressed and I'm sure does not help my illness.
I'm rambling...
