Monday morning weigh in: 147 lbs. Loss since last week: 3 lbs. Also, I found out why I had such an urge to snack yesterday night. For fun I started counting my calories and found out I had only eaten 1250. I thought I was right on track but I was a little off it :). So I took another slice of bread and went to bed.

Morning ladies! Weigh in for Monday morning: 212 lbs. 2lbs loss :)

Well done on your 3lbs loss Elwing! That's great :D

Off to get my car fixed now, have a great day everyone!

Good morning!
SW: 128
CW: 125!!!!!
GW: 118

3 lb loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats Anti and Elwing!!!!!!!!!:carrot::carrot::carrot:

good morning all! congrats on the weight loss! i am down to 293, up one from friday, but down 2 for the week. i think tom is right around the corner. not sure what else could have happened, stayed on plan and exercised. i'm happy though, it's another 2lbs i will never see again! again congrats to all! starting another week!!

this weekend i was doing some thinking about my weight loss and the goals i have for myself. right now i feel like maybe i want to focus on just getting to 199. then i can see where my body is at and see how much further i want to go. so i am changing my goal (is that allowed?) to 199 for my final weight. at that point i will stop and re-evaluate.

I don't know if it's allowed... I think it is more practical if we do not change our goal weight during the challenge. I mean, of course you can decide whatever you want according to your goal weight, apart from any challenge. But the calculations become a bit complicated if everyone does this. Do you mind very much if for challenge purposes I keep using your old goal weight?

Also, I saw that spikedpunch has not posted here since 19 november and hasn't posted anywhere else either. I'm going to post our team's weight without her data, I don't think it's very likely she'll show up in time for the weigh in (and if she does I can always edit).

We're equaling a nice 2.5 lbs loss per person this week girls! Way to go :). I believe (but I can be wrong) because Jessie and I are quite close to our goal weight such a weight loss counts even more for challenge purposes.

Today... learning, because of test tomorrow. I'm going to aquarobics again tonight, hoping not to half-drown this time. I forgot to reply, but the purpose of the exercises of last week was not to put your head under the water. I couldn't do them without going under though. And I wasn't the only one :) I hope it'll be better today. I'm going to eat something new tonight: couscous! I'll keep you tuned on how it tasted.

Stay strong, and speak to you soon! I'll be posting our numbers for the week now.

it's fine to keep my goal weight the same for the challenge. i've got no problem with that!

i do seem to have a problem today though. i've been doing ww since the end of september and have been pretty good staying on plan, especially during the week. today it is cold and rainy and i'm just blah. so, co-worker wants me to go with her to rosthchild's (a local place with sauces and dips and crackers and pretzels and all sorts of goodies) to get some stuff for thursday and then we are going to get lunch (subway). at rosthchild's they have samples out, so i was sampling, not too much, but probably more than i needed to. i'm going to say about 5 points worth (that's probably a bit high, but it's what i am going with). then we go to subway and they have these new flatbread sandwiches. they don't have the nutritional info., but the guy said there is nothing fat free or even low fat about them. it's chicken, provolone, spinach/artichoke dip (1oz), and veggies. he said the flatbread alone is 250 cal. not sure how many points total, but i am guessing it's b/t 10-13. then i had a macadamia nut cookie on top! what is my problem!!! the whole time i was thinking, i shouldn't be eating this, but i just kept going. and the sandwich wasn't the greatest (not worth the points) and the cookie was old. so i'm going to get my head back up and we are going to have taco's made w/ turkey meat tonight, i will just have a taco salad, no chips, no tortilla. jillian and leslie better be ready, it's on tonight!

Motivational thingy: I believe we have made one of the best losses of all teams last week. We can be proud of ourselves! Jelbb is probably going to make a pretty graph one of these days but still. It was an awesome week (but I, for one, don't believe I will keep losing 3 lbs every week :D).

Me is back from aquarobics and it was great. Sometimes I feel like I'm not really pushing it there but it was definitely hard this time. I believe I was one of the most enthusiastic people, which felt great. I also solved the riddle of those exercises that made me go under last week. We did them again but this time with the support thingies around our arms instead of legs. That... made it so much easier to keep balance and not swallow of breathe water. The teacher also thought of this exercise where we actually had to put our head into the water. It was insane :). I suspect him of finding it fun to make us look silly. He always only picks the odd moves when people are watching, and then he has this exercise that creates very big waves because everyone is doing the same thing at the same time. If his smile got any bigger during that exercise his face would probably split. Oh well, I've had my exercise for today, and a great meal (salmon with stir-fry and spicy noodles... mmm). Now I'm getting off 3FC and on my study books because I have this big & important test tomorrow, bah.

Oranges---- WE ROCK!!!:carrot::carrot::carrot:
If we keep this up, we will surely win. I just went and saw mostly everyone's weight loss and we have the most (AND WE ONLY HAVE 4 PEOPLE!!!!)

I am seriously so proud of us!!! I can't believe how well we all did!
Elwing- I laughed when i read you said the instructor's face would split!!
Jmb- 1 slip up won't spoil the week and you didn't even slip up that bad. I have been there and I hate wasting calories on food that is sooo not worth it. I have done it more times than I care to remember! IF you work hard this week, I think you will have another loss!
Anti- Keep up that motivation!

I will not be having a 3 lb loss this week.. not with Thanksgiving! I won't be able to work out 6 times this week either!:( I am motivated to make good choices for turkey day. IF we can keep up such amazing losses, we will own this challenge!!!

Ok so we don't have the most but I think for 4 people, we have by far the most!!!! I am so thrilled. I am very nervous for thanksgiving.. but I feel different about it this year. I have this love/hate relationship with food. It controsl me for some reason. I dont know why I let it control me. I am determined to make this thanksgiving different! I don't need to eat all the goodies! There will be many more thanksgivings and sweets and treats in the future. Oh well... :p:dizzy:

Ok i get a signature now!!!! I saved it and previewed it and like the way it looked, but it hasn't appeared on my old posts!i am trying it out now!!!

sorry... i've had a horrible week. :( It's been insanely busy with work and school. just popping in to say that I only lost a pound this week: I'm at 179. Hopefully now that all my projects are finished for the semester i'll be able to participate more.

Thanks for posting! I'll edit the post in the central thread in a few hours.

I just wanted to say congratulations guys! Great win!

Oh WOW! We've all done SO well this week ladies! Well done!!! Looks like we're #1 on Jelbb's chart at the moment! :carrot: I'll do my best to keep OP and have an even bigger loss next week once TOM's out the way :dizzy:

I've just finished breakfast of porridge and a fat-free yogurt and for lunch I'm having a tomato and cucumber roll, watermelon, a banana and 2 satsumas. Tonight I think I might have low-fat roasted vegetable pasta with some kind of tomato based sauce.

My Mum gave me a great cook book the other day called Fitness Food so I'll have to try out some recipes in there. It tells you how many calories are in each portion too, which makes things so much easier :) The chilli squid with asian salad sounds too good to pass on :D

Well, time for work! Hope you all have a great day and well done again everyone!
