Biggest Loser Challenges - Week 4 Blue Team Challenge

Alright y'all--so this is the temptation challenge week! :devil: I know all of us have at some point or another gone off plan and indulged in something we shouldn't :corn: while trying to lose weight only to see the scale go up because of too much sodium, too many calories, etc. :dunno: Then we have to deal with the inevitable feelings of guilt and "was it worth its?". But think how amazing it'll feel to step on the scale knowing you're going to do AWESOME!! :carrot: So this week, the challenge is to stay PERFECTLY on plan--not a bite or drink of anything you're not supposed to have--and to drink your recommended amount of water EVERY SINGLE DAY! :hungry: Let's watch the numbers on those scales drop as we are conscience of what we eat and drink this week (planning ahead when necessary :write:) so we don't sabotage our own selves!! :goodscale: I know we can do it!! Here's to huge numbers of weight loss this week for the Blue Team!!! :cheer3:

I will be out of town this week, but my plan is to stick to the South Beach Diet Phase 1--lots and lots of salads!, and to drink at least 64 ounces of water every day. Good luck everyone! :D

I definitely need this challenge!! I've been within my calories and having at least 800 calories deficit each day, but the scale went up 2.2!!! I didn't make the best food choices last week (even though in my calories), but this week I'm back on track. I'm going to load up on veggies and lean meats. I have been swearing to start SBD, but maybe I'll join Bigsexy and finally do it this week.

We can do it girls!

I am definitely in for this week's challenge!!

This is an AWESOME challenge Bigsey!!! I love it!!! thanks so much bigsexy!! ps you look super hot in your avator picture!!

My plan is to stay below my BMR (basal metabolic rate) of 1800 calories.

On the days i exercise, I can eat between 1600-1800 calories.

on the days i am resting. my calorie intake should be 1200-1500 calories.

I want to lose at least 1 lb this week, so thats a calorie deficient of about 600 calories per day. so either need to burn 600 calories and eat 1800 calories, or eat 600 calories less.

i'm not well this week. so need a couple of day of rest, so will be careful with my food intake.

my aim is to drink 2.4 litres of water.

Great challenge! I am going to be away next Monday, so I'll have to weigh-in on Friday so I need to be perfect with my diet/exercise in order to see a loss.

ooo! This is good - I'm going to have to use my Bikram Yoga quote to get through this one; Use your English Bulldog determination and your Bengal Tiger strength.

I don't have a intense diet plan - I just avoid added sugar, pay attention to amount of sodium, make sure to eat lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, veggies, no fat dairy, etc. I drink mainly water, tea, and coffee! This week's challenge will be good because last week, I had a few too many "junky" snacks... so back to being POP!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monday: did not cheat :) My water intake could have been much better tho...
Tuesday: no cheating! Drank a bit more water but still could improve...
Wednesday: ate with no cheating - water not so good today
Thursday: Ate beautifully - but still struggling on getting that water down but had more than I did Wednesday
Friday: POP
Saturday: POP during the day but on my night shift indulged in some snacking... not bad stuff but not particularly good
Sunday: Thanksgiving! I allowed myself to have some pie :)

Well I already screwed up before I saw this. :(

Well Diva you and I are together to start on plan tomorrow and make it through the rest of the week. I didn't plan my lunch well enough and overate in hunger when I got home...

Tomorrow is another day!!

Well I already screwed up before I saw this. :(

:rollpin::rollpin: You are my twin sister separated at birth:D

Well, yesterday was a wash. Darn marshmallows! And, I forgot to drink my water. So, I'm starting today. My goal are to eat healthy. No refined foods. No sugary treats. I'll also drink at least 5 glasses of water each day and exercise for at least 30 minutes.

Awesome! I really really need this challenge. I was just contemplating what cheat to get on my way home. Now it will be NOTHING!!

GO BLUE!!!

Okay, I vow to stay OP. 1100 cals and under 100 carbs. Now some of you guys know I have Dland on Friday, and I'm so sorry to admit that that day will probably be a ruined day. But I'll try to make up for it by running/walking the back bay loop around here - 12 miles! on Sunday - that's 1020 cals burned, woot!

I need an intervention on my obsession with chik fila ice dream cones. One opened up by my work and I've been going there almost every day for a 170 cal cone. :(

I need an intervention on my obsession with chik fila ice dream cones. One opened up by my work and I've been going there almost every day for a 170 cal cone. :(

lol okay :drill: let me !! muwahahahahha :devil:

i'm chanelling Jillian Michaels.

"dont even THINK about getting an ice cream cone!! and if you have to, walk in a different direction to AVOID even seeing the store!!! and if you get the ice cream and actually eat it. you are to then hit the gym or workout TWICE as hard and burn 500 calories!!! now drop and give me 10 pushups!!!"

hehehe that was fun :)

okay now i'll be nice. :flow2:

"you are only allowed to have the ice cream if you can budget it into your allowed calorie intake for the day...

if you're allowed to eat 1200 calories a day, that means you have 1030 calories left for the whole day to play with !! and eat from
calories is money baby!! maybe you can tell yourself you can have a visit to the ice cream place, once a week"

okay i just googled for what it was, i want one now !! lol!! hehe i feel like ice cream. but i wont cause i have already done my calculations for calorie deficient today and cant be bothered to re do them hahaha. and plus havent done any exercise and i got a cold.

Haha, thanks lady!

Yes, I totally do add it into my calories for the day, and it fits in, but I mean I just don't need those 31 carbs! I should forego them, but it's so hard! They are the best ice cream in the world! Or froyo, whatever it is, it's super thick and delicious!

My plan is to stay within my calories and workout every day this week. Monday was a wash for me but I am been good the rest of the week so far.

Bev

Well I wish this was up before I left for my conference (well the result would most likely be the same:o) I was good for the first 2 days there then kind of bad for 2 (not horrible just kind of bad) and then good and OP and on water when I got back. So I went up 2.2lbs in the 5 days I was gone but then lost that and then some so down 1.4 for the week.
Great challange.

I'm actually impressed with myself, I managed to be POP with my calories. I lowered my intake to 1200-1400 to re-boot my system, and apparently it worked. I drank my water every day, sometimes more than 8 glasses.

Hope everyone did well also!
