Biggest Loser Challenges - Red Team Week 4 Chat Thread

Here's a new thread for everyone. Hope you all are having a good week thus far.

Good Tuesday to you all!!!

WishI would have had more of a loss this week, but I have been somewhat off plan, not exercised enough and TOM hit hard Sunday night. Well I sure am full of excuses today. Anyway enough with that. My plan this week is to start walking again and get back to jogging and to not eat anymore chocolate. This summer I was so on plan and since it has cooled off I have just lost my way. I need to get back on track ASAP. I can not stop now!!!

Mommyofsix-Funny how the cold weather or change in weather makes us want to turn to comfort foods and laziness, huh? I have been fighting the same things!

Glad to get on with this week. I'm trying to tweak my food to accomodate some new info on what works for me. It's a bit of a challenge, but it certainly does have me really examining my food lately which is probably a really good thing!

Wow, is it week 4 already!? Things are going well - my exercise tends to all be outside - I prefer to walk and jog on every day that I possibly can. The weather has been great for it, but sunset at 7:10 is starting to be a bummer. The time change is coming soon and I may have to join a gym soon just so I can at least hit the treadmill on the days when I can't get outside.

Had TOM last week, but since having an ablation back in May it's almost non-existent and doesn't seem to wreak near as much havoc on the scale as it used to. Yay! Would *highly* recommend it for anyone with heavy or long cycles, provided you are done having kiddoes. It's the best thing I have done for myself, maybe ever. :)

Had my first NSV this morning. Am wearing an outfit today that I bought just two months ago. At the time it really was a snug fit and I was a little self conscious in it. I'm wearing it today it feels like a great fit now. Looking forward to it moving over into the "too big" category, but for now, I am enjoying that I feel good in it.

Hope everyone has a successful, on program week!

tinabinab - :carrot: for good fitting outfits, that is always an awesome feeling!! NSV, especially clothes ones always make me very happy :)

I had an awful day at work yesterday, but I didn't cheat...and I really wanted to, so I feel pretty good about that. Didn't get any exercise in, but am planning to this evening while I'm watching biggest loser :)

I'm looking forward to the show tonight. I just need another boost of positive weight loss inspiration. I've been POP and feel good, just all the rain and cold here makes me want to snuggle in bed all day!

IgetfitNStrongforme~ Wow! You must have really needed the sleep! I don’t know about being the Biggest Loser, thank you though!

Bette k~ Have a great week also!

Cape Breton Chick~ Congrats on 0.4lbs!!!

Mommyofsix~ No stopping, less chocolate, more moving, you can totally get back on track!!!

Ms Perception~ Is everything okay? I’m psyched for the TBL show tonight too!!!

tinabinab~ Congratulations on your NSV!!! I can’t wait to start fitting in smaller clothes!

shea5~ Great job staying on track!!!

So we hiked into the woods again today and I noticed that I really trekked right in and didn’t have any issues with feeling tired. There was a lot of jumping and wandering through random tree branches in attempt to avoid the mud. I admit that I used last night as my cheat night (since I do both my weigh in for here in the AM and official WW weigh in on Monday), where I just kind of eat whatever I’ve been craving for the past week, but it appears that this may be the last week where I can! YAY! I am actually happy about this as our weigh in at work for our work TBL challenge is now Tuesday mornings. School is structured enough so that if I can make it through Tuesday day, then I should be okay by Tuesday night. Rambling, yes, good day so far, so I’m psyched! I just need to keep the momentum going through work tonight!!!

I can get back on track you ladies are so right!!! I am excited about the show tonight too. It always inspires me to try harder.

Amy - you can do this. I know you can. Look at what you've accomplished so far!!

Kim - I'd love to go hiking. Sounds like fun. So glad you're in the right frame of mind to knock it out of the park this week.

Congrats on the NSV tinainab.

And congrats on the losses to all of my team. You all inspire me. I may not be on here as much as I'd like but when I do lurk and check in I always read what all you've written and take it to heart.

Be back later.

Kiml1214: I wish I lived near a forest II could hike in, it sounds like heaven. Where I live there is just lots of concrete and buildings........

I am just relaxing now that I have had lunch. I had a great morning volunteering and tomorrow I have the exercise group with my ladies, we had so much fun last week, I am sure tomorrow will be just as much fun. I can't wait for TBL tonight; I want to see what happens with Tracey.

I feel very badly for Coach Mo because he seems to be a man of honor but is so tore by trying to be a supportive team mate to clearly an unstable woman. I don't think Jillian should have dressed him down at the weigh in that was very wrong. Both Bob and Jillian should have pulled him a side for a private talk. Coach Mo is just caught in the middle, and it's not fair.

Well ladies--finally got my old PC out of torage o I can get online without having to use the tiny screen on my ipod until my laptop get fixed. Good news i that my horrible neverending period finally did end (after 3 weeks of torture!) I should have a good loss this week to help our team this week...after that I am not sure if TOM is going to come back a it is due, or if it will leave me alone to make up for it's lovely 3 week visit. I am hoping for the latter! Well, hope everyone is doing good and the scale i treating you nicely!

Hey gals, results are into dixie now so should be up soon!

Down 5lb on my week 4 weigh in.:D:carrot::carrot:

Nicki

ps I know I don't chat a lot but I'm 100% committed to the Red Team.:hug:

Motivation is challenging as the weather gets cooler. I felt I was getting ready to hibernate this past weekend and am fighting the feeling again today where our high temp will be ~35 f, brrrrr.

The good thing is the dog always needs a walk no matter what the weather is like and he won't take no for an answer!

We're heading out of town for Cdn Thanksgiving. I'll work hard at staying OP though it's tough avoiding crap food while on the road.

Have a great week ladies!

KimL-Yep, I'm feeling good! We just had a few days where the sun was not shining, it was rainy and I just REALLY wanted to snuggle up and read a book and do NOTHING else. I did eat OP and get my exercise in, so I handled it well. Today should be a little nicer, but then we're supposed to get more rain for the rest of the week. That plus the colder temps, have me wanting to hibernate, like CanadaMel! Heehee

Nicki-Way to stay committed and have such a nice weigh-in!

Igetfit-I also like Coach Mo. So glad he can stay. Tracy, on the other hand....my DH just keeps saying "She is SO unstable!" the whole show. LOL It cracks me up that you used those same words. They really sum it up though. I, too, wish I had some place a little closer to hike around here. When we move, we'll be closer to a state park with some nice hiking trails which I fully intend to take advantage of next spring-fall.

All is well here. My new running program is challenging me with some new drills which I feel good about. I'm a runner now, I might as well become a better one, eh? Food has been OP and the scale is cooperating little by little. I'll definitely take it, though. I often struggle mid-month with cravings (giving in to them, that is) and TOM stuff, but I want to make this month different...See if I can't stay more consistant and see decent losses every week. I used to not struggle with cravings so much the first 6-8 months or so of my healthier diet, so I'm not sure why it seems harder now. Maybe it's my mindset, getting closer to goal and thinking I "deserve" stuff more or what?! Anyway, I'm clearly still a work in progress!

IgetfitNStrongforme~ You should see where I live… we live in the middle of a national forest and have seen more wildlife there in the past few weeks then in the last year. I also feel really bad for Coach Mo also and I have to say my dislike for Tracy really increased last night as she is either really that stupid, or really is messing with people. Either way, not a fan of her AT ALL.

jessicado22~ Did you go to the doctors or anything to find out what was causing it?

Nicki54~ Congrats on 5 lbs!!!

CanadaMel~ Good luck staying OP!

Ms Perception~ The rain has really been hammering us as well.

Today was a little ridiculous as far as weather was concerned as we were right on the lake shore and the rain and wind were 35+ MPH and the rain was horizontal. The kids didn’t want to stay and I really didn’t want to stay either. I’m really tired right now but have a doctors appointment so I can’t just go home and nap…

I agree with all of you I feel so bad for coach Mo. He looks so put off when Tracy speaks. That first episode when she got hurt. I felt so bad for her, but now, I think Jillian wants to smack her in the face when she gets that look and how does she continue to loose all that weight????

Canada Mel- Happy Thanksgiving to you and the rest of the red team that lives in CAnada!!!

KimL- I assume it has to be the same weather pattern but this morning I thought the rain was going to break through our bed room window, it was raing so hard and sideways it was not a pleasant experience. I will say it is beautiful here now at about 3pm so maybe that is coming your way too.

Igetfit- I live at the foothills of the smokey mountains in Tennessee. There are so many great trails I love to hike just do not get to the mountains enough!!!
Hope everyone is doing well and staying on plan. Lets keep loosing Red Team!!!!!

Igetfit-I also like Coach Mo. So glad he can stay. Tracy, on the other hand....my DH just keeps saying "She is SO unstable!" the whole show. LOL It cracks me up that you used those same words. They really sum it up though. I, too, wish I had some place a little closer to hike around here. When we move, we'll be closer to a state park with some nice hiking trails which I fully intend to take advantage of next spring-fall.

Growing up we lived near the wildress, I miss it so. I know they keep saying that Tracey is unstable and it weird because I keep saying that to everyone she is unstable. I should work for the Producers. LOL

Boy you guys are so lucky. Rain oh rain, we are in the middle of a three year draught, and you live near a lake as well that does sound like heaven. You must live in the North East or South East, I hear they are having a lot of rain, I wish God would send some our way.

I agree with all of you I feel so bad for coach Mo. He looks so put off when Tracy speaks. That first episode when she got hurt. I felt so bad for her, but now, I think Jillian wants to smack her in the face when she gets that look and how does she continue to loose all that weight????

Coach Mo looks like he's a little scared of Tracey. I hate that he has to have her as a team mate and is causing a chasam between he and the rest of the house. I am also pived at Bob for being rude to Coach Mo, when he hurt himself, Coach Mo really works very hard and deserve a little more respect.

Tracey damaged her muscles from extreme exhaustion during the first chanllenge. One of the things she has is called Rhabdomyolysis it is the breakdown of muscle fibers resulting in the release of muscle fiber contents (myoglobin) into the bloodstream. Some of these are harmful to the kidney and frequently result in kidney damage.

Causes
When muscle is damaged, a protein pigment called myoglobin is released into the bloodstream and filtered out of the body by the kidneys. Myoglobin breaks down into potentially harmful compounds. It may block the structures of the kidney, causing damage such as acute tubular necrosis or kidney failure.

Dead muscle tissue may cause a large amount of fluid to move from the blood into the muscle, reducing the fluid volume of the body and leading to shock and reduced blood flow to the kidneys.

The disorder may be caused by any condition that results in damage to skeletal muscle, especially trauma. It's very dangerous, CPK levels being so high means her body is still eating its own muscles which I believe makes them worry she could have a heart attack or kidney failure.

hi! :wave:

i ran tonight, 1 and 3/4 miles. i was going for 3, but then i just lost steam. i don't think i had eaten enough before hand. i tried to look online for nutrition for runners, but i haven't found anything good yet. i need to be on this though, i have my first race next sunday!

Hey Ladies!!! I hope everyone is having a great week so far... I want to say so sorry that I am not as "on the ball" with personals as I wish I was... but I want you all to know I read them all and think of you all! I am going to try to be better with getting the personals in. :grouphug:
I am happy to report that I saw another dip on the scale this morning so it pushed me even harder to get in my workouts today... I feel great this week.. strong and confident in success.. I love those weeks!! haha
Will check back in tomorrow.. g'night everyone!

:wave: girls!

Sorry I've been MIA. I started a second job on Monday so I've been kinda wiped out. I like it alot but I'm afraid that I might lose it. :( Got to get up at 6am so I've gotta go!

:grouphug:

Good Thursady morning to you all!! Hope everyone is doing well and eating right. I have not been to off this week. Just need to continue to get in my veggies. I am taking a 1/2 day off work today to take the kids to the mountains to go hiking so I am very excited about that. I am not sure which hike we will go on but I am looking forward to some exercise. I must thank you ladies all the hiking talk got me in the mood and the kids seem very excited about it too.

:coffee:

hi all! today is cross training - some bike time, and weight training. All after class, though. :)

Hi all, sorry I have been MIA. Had an awful eating and exercise week last week so I took a freebie. I'm still not 100% back on track but it's getting better. I'm refusing to weigh until Monday so I don't have a total meltdown haha.

Good news is I finally got in and got a new script for my ADD meds, so my dependency on caffeine just disappeared. No more Coke and Pepsi = less junk being put in my body! I am much happier to be back on track, although it will probably take a few days to regulate in my body.

Well I am off to do more homework - my classes are killing me this term! I'm planning on walking this afternoon after lunch to get in some exercise. Maybe I will go dust off my weights too!

hi everybody hope this week goes well for all of u im a bit off track this week .......i really wanted to be near 200 im 212 right now so lets see how this month ends .......i need to go grocery shopping for my dieting .....
anyways i hope u all stay on track and dont forget the water good luck

Hey everyone, sorry I've been gone for a while. This week and next week are midterm weeks for me, so I've been EXTREMELY busy with school. I completely forgot to weigh in on Monday so I took my first freebie week. Hopefully things will die down a little bit next week.

Who won the weigh in?

Who won the weigh in?

Just waiting on dixie, I'm guessing she's just got a lot going on. The weigh-ins are in, just awaiting posting. I'm sure they will be up soon. :)

Mommyofsix~ I felt bad for Tracy when she got hurt also, but damn, now I can’t stand her. I also thought the weather was going to break yesterday morning… and then a huge wind and rain storm hit and I got flattened by a tarp. It was AMAZING. Hiking sounds fun!!!

IgetfitNStrongforme~ I live in Vermont, so we get a lot of extreme weather. Meaning it can be extremely hot, extremely cold, extremely dry, etc. all in one year. Makes things interesting.

dcapulet~ Awesome job!!!

Cape Breton Chick~ Yay for seeing a dip on the scale!!!

cakses~ Yay homework, woohoo… I feel for you… Your body will love you for not drinking as much soda!

rosetta~ How did grocery shopping go?

zoochick777~ Good luck with your midterms!

I had a really good day yesterday, although it was insanely long. I had to be at school for 7, stay until 4:30 for an IEP meeting, and then work 5-9:30 at the restaurant. I have switched over to either having teriyaki chicken or chicken stirfry at the restaurant as I know their beef is super fatty and I know red meat is not super good for you. I am thinking about trying their broiled sole this weekend as I have been told to start eating more fish… catch is… I don’t like fish, so is sole a good one to start breaking myself in with? About to head out on our hike…

Who won the weigh in?

I think we did. :carrot:

ya im also waiting for the who-won-this-week thread its friday today dixie must be busy

I think we did. :carrot:

You must have done another spread sheet? You are the Red Teams tekkie! :woohoo: We won! :broc:

I am so glad I am out of school. I worked full time and went to school it was a rough 4 years. I have always wanted to visit Vermont at Christmas. Every year you'll see photos in the magazines and it seems so perfect with all that snow. Yes I love sole it's very delicate, are you going to cook it at home? I have tips if you are and want them.

Hi Red Team, happy Friday. I am back to 194, yes I had to peek at my weight to keep myself motivated. I'm super bogged down with homework, housework (still unpacking, putting up curtains, etc) and my son's therapy is now 5 days a week so that's taking up a lot of time but I am doing well with eating. I just need to make time for exercise. It's always hard to start up a new routine, but I am going to make good choices this weekend and force myself into an exercise regiment before October is done and I am still a couch potato!

No time for personals, but I hope you are all doing well and have a great weekend!

IgetfitNStrongforme~ The restaurant I work at makes a broiled sole which always looks and smells amazing, so I was thinking of trying that. Vermont is amazing in the winter usually, especially where I live now (on one of the mountain ranges with higher elevation).

cakses~ Congrats on 194!

School is over and I am ready for the weekend! Have a great weekend everyone!!!

I fell off the wagon and ordered Thai food for lunch; I won't go over my calories if I don't eat dinner. I am mad at myself because I haven't had delivery in I think almost a year, I have yummy food to eat at home so I am not sure why I ordered it. It wasn't that great, and now I feel just gross... I feel like I polluted my body. I have been eating only organic whole foods and cooking everything myself, following the "You On A Diet" menu plan from the book. And last week I ate 3 organic chocolate bars, for dinner, I can't explain my actions. I am feeling weird, and vulnerable now that I am getting closer to my goal.

TOM has moved on and I am sitting at 179. I never thought I'd see that number but it is sticking. I am hoping to lose a few pounds this month. Sept. was not good, hopefully Oct. wil be better. I am looking forward to seeing 175.

I've totally fallen off the wagon this week. It's not that I ate badly all the time, but I made some poor choices and I was not motivated with my exercise this week. I only got in two workouts. Usually I am up and moving all day at work teaching, and this past week we had 3 days with no students so we all had to do desk time. I let myself sink into a strong lack of motivation. One day the boss brought in pizza for everyone for lunch. Granted I only ate one slice, but still I didn't really need it. I also had one night's dinner I made a black bean chili loaded with salt and cheese. To put the knife in further, I went out for Indian food and drank 3 beers (which I have refrained from drinking for almost a whole month so I don't know why I started to do it the other night).

I'm sorry red team. I've totally blown my weight loss this week. So I think I'm going to take a freebie this week and try to get my head screwed on straight for next week. Thanks for letting me vent and be honest with myself and with you all.

Must be one of those weeks! I am not "off the wagon", but I can't seem to lose anything to save my life. I mean, last night I had my "cheat meal" (pizza and a little ice cream, not terrible since they were reasonable portions), so I knew today I would be up a touch...no big deal. But today I ate OP and drank my water and all, yet I think tomorrow will show me even more up...UGH! Well, 'keep doing the right stuff and it will come off' is my new motto. I have meals planned for the weekend so I don't cave to my dissappointment and eat something unhealthy. I hope I can stay on track and post a decent number Monday!

Sorry I haven't been chatty lately. My weight seems to be back down, my official weigh-in is tomorrow. I'm just kinda nervous that this drop is just TOM (yeah, I LOSE weight at TOM). But I did finally get a workout in after being so freaking lazy lately. I ran/walked for 30 min, did weights for 15 min, then had work for 3 hours and swam when i got off. I was in such a good mood today and i really think it's because i exercised. I need to get in the gym more. I never feel like going when I'm stressed but it ends up making me feel so much better! Hope everyone else is doing well. Have an awesome weekend!

Guess I was right about my weight only being down due to TOM. It's now exactly back where it was earlier in the week. :(

Dixed hasn't posted last weeks results, I hope she is okay. Can anyone check on her?

I ate Thai food and had 3 chocolate bars this past week, so please do not beat yourself up. Just get up and run on. Because let's face you will drink beer and eat Indian food again, so run on. I to love cheese in the chili I make, so I measure out either a 1/4 cup or a 1/2 cup of cheese, this helps me keep the calories in check. You are doing great, so please don't let the Indian food slip derail you. :hug:

Hi ladies!

For those of you who have had slip ups, please don't beat yourself up. And to igetfitNStrongforme please eat dinner just make it sensible. Your sugar levels get way screwy when you skip meals and it's actually worse to skip even when you've had a slip up. Please eat :)

I am having an off week as well, but mine is with exercise. I can't seem to get my butt on the treadmill or out the door or anything. It's driving me crazy! I am very busy right now with my school load and every afternoon my son has ABA therapy now and I either have to keep my other son upstairs and entertained or I am asked to be downstairs to participate. It's from 3:30-5:30 every day which used to be a time for me to do homework, so I have had to move my homework to mornings and guess what I used to do then? LOL. I need to start going to bed earlier and waking up earlier I guess and forcing myself onto the treadmill. I work best with a schedule or pretty much the same thing every day, so I guess that is a project for the weekend - write out workout/homework/cleaning schedule and start using it!

Anyways, I hope everyone is doing alright. It's starting to get chilly over here and today is the first dull day we've had since last winter. I guess I should be greatful we had an amazing Fall until now with very little rainy or cloudy days. I'm off to go clean as my in-laws are coming over to visit tonight and they've never seen the place which means they'll be looking in all rooms haha. I swear I clean every week and I am always amazed at how dirty things get that are cleaned on a regular basis!

Hang in there girls, we can do this even with mistakes made along the way!

There must be something going around on this forum, because I've been totally UN-motivated to exercise. I have no idea what it is. I enjoy playing tennis and taking a walk and I told myself when I started this summer that I was only going to engage in activities that I found fun. Well, I still find them fun so what's my problem? I'm losing so I'm getting complacent. Before, I had the drive to get past 160 and be in the 150s again (I feel like I'm "thin" if I'm in the 150s because I haven't been here in OH so long!) and now that I'm comfortably in the 150s, I'm self-sabotaging. I'm happy that I've learned to control my food portions enough to eat what I want but in moderation so I don't feel starved or anxious about upcoming social events. Grrrrr!!! I just need to kick my butt and get out there!! :mad:

:hug: to everyone off the wagon. Let's get back on!!! WE CAN DO IT!!! :carrot:

So I posted in the wrong thread earlier.

I am down today so I am hoping for a good weigh-in tomorrow. On my other threads I posted my mantra. NEVER QUIT!!!

Things go really slowly for me and I can get aggravated, but I just keep going. I never thought I would be in the 170's, not in a million years. But I am. If I can do this....ANYBODY can. Really!!!

It's a miracle I have lost 1.4 pounds this week, after the Thai food and 3 chocolate bars. This only proves I would have lost more without cheating. I think something Sunni said is true the closer we get to our goal we become complacent or nervous because I won’t have anymore excuses………

Still concerned that we don't have results from last week's weigh in. Hope the blue team leader is ok.

Still concerned that we don't have results from last week's weigh in. Hope the blue team leader is ok.

Yes I am concerned as well, can anyone check to see if she is okay?

I will email dixie tonight and see if I hear something back. I'll let you all know if/when I do.

weigh in tomorrow morning... we'll see

:wave: girls!

I hope you had a great weekend! Mine was so-so, I was a little depressed last night because I missed my friends back home but it led into a NSV: I permed my own hair for the first time! :dance: And it actually turned out okay, a little wavy and my ends need to be clipped(see photo), but alright! I'm just tickled about conquering something that seems so simple to everyone else. Now I just need to get the hang of wrapping my hair and I'll be straight. :D

*Sorry for the huge pic, I don't know how to make it smaller. >.<

I also lost 1.2 lbs this week. But I was looking at my WI calendar and TOM is due soon. I want him to come now so he can't screw up my next WI but I doubt that will happen. :dz:

:cheers: to a fabulous week for everyone! :grouphug:

IgetfitNStrongforme~ It’s good that you had those feeling about polluting your body as it will make it less likely for you to fall apart again. No worries, everyone slips up every now and then, the trick is getting right back with it. Congrats on 1.4lbs.!!!

shan84~ That’s what freebie weeks are for! Go a little easier on yourself, just get right back after it and you’ll start feeling a lot better.

Aclai4067~ I love the exercise high!!!

cakses~ I feel you on having a hard time getting a good exercise routine. Maybe we can kick each others butts into gear.

Sunnigummi~ :kickbutt:

mtiger~ Congrats on your loss!!!

JasonsLea~ Congrats on your loss!!! Your hair looks great!

Ms Perception~ No worries! If you stay OP, you will see the numbers you are looking for!

This weekend was a little rough. I was really good food wise, but definitely went overboard with the drinking Saturday night. I had a lot of fun, minus the jerkface guy. I have my official Weight Watchers weigh-in tonight and the school Biggest Loser weigh in tomorrow morning, so lots of numbers flying through my head as my weigh in for here is by my new scale. Have a great OP day!

No loss this week,, didn't expect much since I had a bad cold and haven't exercised at all.. Today I started some exercising again, did Pilates, that's soft.. If I feel good I'll take a run tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get a loss next week.

I lost 1.2lbs! :carrot:

I actually went up this week. Started out going down a little eacdh day, then about Thursday, every day the scale went up a half pound. I'm REALLY hoping it's pre-TOM, but anyway it is what it is. Sorry guys!

WTG on the losses this week ladies! :carrot:

Mrs.P ~ :hug: I hope it's preTom too!

I'm feeling a little hyper right now, really happy! I hope it lasts for the rest of the day! :goodvibes

KimL1214: Thanks for the words of wisdom. I am back on that horse! Sorry about your rough weekend, but I am sure all your hard work will payoff. :hug: I forget to ask did you try the sole at the place you work?

MonteCristo: I am very proud of you, YOU GO GIRL! :carrot:

Shan84: I get to see your food and exercise journal everyday, so I know how hard you work and that you are a SUPER STAR! Next week will be better. :hug:

Ms. Perseption: You know it has to be TOM, next week will be better. I always have to remember that it's a marathon not a spirit.

Theresia: Being ill means you are probably retaining water, as I keep saying next week will be better.

JasonsLea: Congrats on your loss this week and BTW you have the most beautiful skin!

Sunnigummi: I am dittoing my friend KimL1214... :kickbutt:

Aclai4067: I find it so hard not to exercise now because of the high it's rather addictive..So I am with you I love that high! . :D

cakses: If you can just start with 30 minutes of walking everyday whether it rains, shines, earthquakes, snowstroms or floods, it will become a part of your life and like I was saying to Aclai4067 it will became addictive. So hears what I gave to Sunni, I give to you :kickbutt:

The more time that passes I am convinced that food journaling is helping me lose more weight because I can see what I am really eating and the support is awesome as well. I have today off, I went in to do the daily bread reading and prayer and then I went to the market and then came back home to get in my PJ and watch old movies, it's a perfect day! I can't wait for tomorrow episode of TBL, I wonder if it was Tracey who got that golden ticket :D

P.S. I guess no one has heard if Dixied is okay???

theresia~ Starting to exercise again will give your metabolism enough of a boost so you should see a loss this week.

MonteCristo~ Congrats on 1.2lbs!!!

Ms Perception~ I’m sure it’s pre-TOM, look how close you are getting to goal! You should be wicked proud of yourself!

IgetfitNStrongforme~ I did try the sole and unfortunately came to the conclusion that I really still do not like fish. I ended up taking it back into the kitchen and having them make me chicken teriyaki instead. I’m going to try it again, and keep pushing myself until I get to where I can at least stomach the taste, plus I think they cooked it wrong as it had a very strong metallic taste to it… Sounds like you have had a great day!

So I’m getting concerned about dixied also, as it does not seem like her to just not be around without letting someone know that she needs coverage. I’m planning on hitting up the grocery store here soon as I’m worried if I wait much longer, I might be hungry when I go and end up wanting just about anything and everything I walk by. Planning on salad and chicken for dinner tonight!

Yes it shoudn't taste of metal, have you tried shellfish? It's high in zinc and protien and very low in calories. RangerChic sent Dixied an email last night, I do hope she is okay. Have a snack before you go shopping. I like to have an ounce of walnuts with an apple, takes the edge off. Sounds like a great dinner, I never get tired of chicken.

Hi Blue Team,

The Red Team is concerned because no one seems to know if Dixied is okay. Can anyone tell us if she is okay?

Igetfit

i know i was thinking the same. i hope she's okay ! she must be super busy. does anyone know her or heard from her? or can contact her. i checked on her profile page and she hasnt logged in since last weekend i think.
i just sent her a pm. hope we hear from her soon. and that she's okay.

Echo was the only one who responded to my inquire on the Blue Team chat thread regarding Dixied, so maybe someone on the Blue Team knows if she is okay.

I'm also worried about Dixie, hope someone hears from her soon...

Just posted my WI - up a lb! Wah! We went to Great Wolf Lodge over the weekend, so my eating wasn't 100% OP, but it wasn't THAT bad either. I was hoping all the stair climbing, walking, stair climbing, swimming, stair climbing etc was counteracting any less than stellar choices I made. Did I mention the stair climbing?! My knees are still aching from it all. It was a ton of fun though - we even defeated the dragon at the end of the MagiQuest game. Too cool!

Working towards a better WI next Monday. I'm looking forward to the episode tomorrow - wondering who gets that darn ticket... hmm :) Hope everyone has a great week 5!

No word from dix yet on my end...

Also, I need to find a replacement myself as of the end of this month to lead this team. As of the week of November 1st, I cannot be the team leader anymore. I love everyone, I'm just so busy and November is only going to get more so. So, if you are interested, please drop me a PM. This would start as of the compiling of the weigh-ins from the week before, as Nov 1st is a Sunday. Thanks everyone.
