I am shocked how my weigh in went this week. Last week I had Red Lobster and went over my points a few this week. ^_____________^ Hopefully my official WW weigh in Tuesday will be as positive.

[CeCeLee]

I know what you mean. I was surprised to have lost about 4lbs last week because it's Mardi Gras season over here and I ate king cake and all sorts of stuff I shouldn't have. Oh well. Back OP this week and hopefully I'll have an even bigger loss .

Good luck on your WW weigh in!!

[Daimere]

This will be my last Tuesday weigh in. I'm really sad because I liked this leader and the people. The people are amazing. But a new job was a must and this will work out better financially and stress wise.

[Daimere]

I am so glad to see that 10 out of 13 people have at least posted in the weigh in thread. I think most of them actually weighed in, too. ^_________________^


Also, I just wanted to tell you girls about this thing called stickK.com. You make a contract to yourself that you will lose weight, eat better, stop smoking, exercise, anything. You can have money on the line or not. I don't have money on the line but I might start one at the end of March if my cleaning habits don't change. If any of you want to join, I'm on there and I'm daimere. My first stickK results were positive. ^_^ Although I really think stickK might be the only way I start cleaning better. I would hate to lose money to my boyfriend. lol

I just did my healthy shopping for the week. ^_^ I was so upset that they did not have the live active cottage cheese I LIVE on. Grrrr

i'm sooo excited!

boo the first week is when i'm getting my wisdom teeth out but i hope not being able to exercise will be cancelled out by the not being able to eat =)

you guys can call me cass, its nice to see everyone so excited. i really think this is going to be an awesome team- we'll kick a.ss in this challence

[kisskiss]

hey girls
so I'll introduce myself to Team apple/
I just turned 22 last month. I've been as low as 235 last year, but unfortunately I have not been sticking with my plan (last month was pretty horrible in me exercising )
but im trying to get back on track, and lose some weight before I graduate in June...

ummmm think that's all for now... Go Team APPLE !!

[Daimere]

Hello, kisskiss! Once you get back on track, you will never want to leave! I just got back on track after being off for 9 months and love it. ^_^

Hey, Cass! Good luck on the wisdom teeth. I was sick last week and didn't stay on plan as much as I wanted, too.

[CeCeLee]

Daimere, I just went and joined Stickk.com. I think its a really great way to keep me accountable. Thanks for the suggestion!

[Daimere]

UGH. TOM is here. Hopefully my weigh in will be decent tomorrow. If not bigger weight loss next week...which would be better than normal since I will be waiting till Saturday. Although I still haven't decided if I want to do Saturday or Sunday weigh in. Hmmm

[Loraloo]

Ugh, I'm sick again. This is crazy. I NEVER get sick. Like once every couple of years kinda deal, and now this is the second time in the past two months. I just started a new night course for chemistry so I'm wondering if I'm just feeling a bit run down from the extra hours, but hopefully I'll get used to it, rather than just be run down all the time. It's only been a week, but it's tuesdays and thursdays 6:00pm - 10:00pm. Oh yeah, and I work 7:00 - 4:00 every day. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIRED!!!!!!! I'd planned on exercising today and going to a kickboxing class tonight with my brother I hope I feel better later!!!!

Good luck this week everybody!!!!

Heather88 - You found 30DS on youtube? Thats awesome I have been wanting to try it but not so sure about the $$$.

kalikat003 - I am in such a similar situation to yours. I have about 20 lbs and am at my highest weight since I can remember. I also calorie count. Its nice to have someone I can totally relate to in the group.

loraloo - You've got the excitement and energy girl! I know thats going to make all the difference in your progress. Hope you get to feeling better!

dcslm - I can totally relate on the busy. Maybe you can give me some pointers for how you do it. I have been slipping...

macky - I second the looking hot in spring/summer clothes lol. I am going to Vegas at the end of April and want to rock that swimsuit.

Daimere - Woot woot on the 50 lbs lost! Your an inspiration...I will weigh in at lunch and post it

Cass - Nice to meet you!

star2be - The "Merideth" plan... love that

cecelee - 4 lb loss after eating cake? I so need to be on that diet lol

kisskiss - Lets get you smokin hot for graduation girly!

As for me...

Let me start by introducing myself. I am 27, married and living in Wyoming. I am a wedding photographer that covers all of Wyoming and Colorado as well as working a second job while we save $$$ for our first house. My schedule is crazy hectic and I travel a lot for work. I enjoy running, swimming and eliptical training. My preferred method of weight loss is calorie counting combined with steady workouts.

Last night I bombed ladies. Girl scout cookies were delivered and I ate enough for a small army. I did manage to make it to the gym though. Got a quick run in and then 15 flights of stairs. Better than nothing but I know it only negates 1/2 of the cookies lol.

I am really excited about this challenge. I need to get back on the wagon. Let do this!

[Daimere]

Feel better, Lora!

Stephanie, sometimes those dreaded cookies win but get back up and try again. Don't give up. ^_^

[UglyFatFriend]

Hey ladies, so excited to be on Team Apple!!! I am starting 30DS today as a matter of fact lol. And just moved my dusty old treadmill in from the porch so i have to look at it every day .... good luck to everyone!!!!!

[Stephanie Osborne]

UFF - Drag that treadmill out of hiding this is going to be your month!!!

Ok ladies so far so good. I managed to avoid said evil girl scout cookies at lunch. Everything has been OP and I have even recruited my husband, father in law and niece to go to the gym with me this evening.

Long story short I was just in the beginning stages of running and absolutely loved it. I started out running 30 seconds and being terrible winded lol and got up to being able to run about 14 minutes straight. I was increasing the duration by a minute every time I went. After that I would run/walk the duration till I hit 30 minutes.

WELL it has been quite a while since I last ran. I got a quick run in last night that was crazy hard. Tonight I am going to give it my all and see if I can assess where my running endurance sits currently. I wish I could just pick up where I left off... After that I am planning on swimming for a half hour. Need that bikini body by Vegas baby!

[IcassiopeiaI]

stephanie, amazing job on the running. i'm always so impressed with people who can RUN

but the girlscout cookie thing. man. good job going to get your workout in but i remember a campaign they had a few years ago where the billboards had the girls looking up at the camera like holding cookies up for you and the caption said 'resistance is futile'

too true
