Here we go .. heading into Week 8!!!! Will be looking forward to seeing who is still with us when I get home tonight .. hopefully its all of us still .. but will wish those well that have left us this week and hope to see them on the boards still

Great job for sticking it out all those that are still weighing in .. regardless of their results ... WE CAN DO THIS!!!

Another week down, 6 more weeks to go. My goal is to get into the 140's this week and I will do it!

[Nightkatt]

My goal is to get comfortably into the 230s lol ... been playing with the 240 for weeks and I want to say BYE BYE!!

Great day today .. managed a good workout .. have also booked in for the PT session tomorrow .. .and then the vibra fit session on Thursday ... plus another workout on Friday before work .. going to try to get more focused on the exercise this week .. ... day at a time ... week at a time ...

Can't believe it's a new week already! Only 2 weeks until I go on holiday, need to make them count! Well done to all the losers yesterday

[Novus]

Happy new week, everybodee!!!

The scale is driving me bonkers since I've started running. I used to see a steady decline, at least a teensy bit every day. But now? Agh. I hit 169, and then it jumped to 170.2 and held there for FOUR days. Then 168.8 for THREE days straight with a drop to 167.8 on Friday. Now it's up again and has been 169.2 for three days. I get it....it's the exercise....but still. Maddening.

I've got my food and exercise all planned out for the week and am hoping desperately that the scale will be down on Friday for official weigh-in day.

Oh, and my photo shoot is Saturday. So excited!

Good luck to everyone in Week 8. And here's hoping our results from last week will be super positive! :

[Novus]

And also....I switched from tracking on sparkpeople to My Fitness Pal since it's so hugely popular. There are definitely some things I miss from sparkpeople but overall I'm liking the change.

I'm Novus175 over there, if you have an account and want to add me.

[MissSMcC]

Novus yay for your shoot on Saturday, can't wait to hear how it goes! I have sent you a request on mfp, my username is same as here for anyone else that fancies adding me.

Unofficial results for Week 7. (I was curious so I figured it out and I just figured I'd share.)

Biggest loser: dangerouscurves76 (-2.0, 1.30%)

Honorable mentions
Dahlia55 (-1.7, 1.03%)
Novus (-1.2, .71%)
MissSMcC (-1.0, .42%)
kris2008 (-0.5, .33%)

Total team loss: 2.8 pounds (Maybe. I was kinna confused how to calculate this.)

And I'm pretty sure no one was eliminated this week!

[kris2008]

Thanks Novus and good luck with your shoot on Saturday!

[Novus]

Goodness. We're even quieter than usual this week!

I planned to run this evening but the rain started earlier than forecast. I went out anyway and did 1 mile. Better a little than none, right? I definitely learned I don't like running in the rain, though.

The photo shoot has been cancelled. We're going to try to reschedule.

I had a great report on my quarterly performance review at work today. Yay.

That is all. Where IS everyone?

[Nightkatt]

Hi everyone .. sorry .. its been a busy week .. I keep getting called into work so had to cancel BOTH of my trainer sessions this week .. grrrr .. still .. the extra money will come in handy coming into winter with the higher power bills lol ..

Novus thank you for posting that for us .. I will look into how to get the official ones up. Unfortunately Rated has had to withdraw due to other commitments, so if you can give me a day I will have everything caught up once I have the spreadsheet sorted out

Will be back asap before the weekend for sure

[MissSMcC]

Novus that's a shame about the shoot, hopefully you will be able to reschedule. Nothing much to report with me, I'm starting TOTM so hopefully it won't affect my weigh in too much. It's cold and rainy here today, has been really hot the past few days. I won a competition that a band I like we're doing on Facebook, I won a one off picture disc vinyl of their latest single, so excited to get it in th post

[Nightkatt]

Let me know your thoughts or if you prefer just a shorthand of the top 3-4?

Hugs all .. weigh in tomorrow for me .. hopefully I have done better for the team this week than I did last week

[Novus]

I like seeing the numbers like this Nightkatt! I always figure my own numbers like this and it's nice to see the side-by-side comparison with the other team members.

I am a bit confused on your numbers for Dahlia55 (which I noticed because it's so different from my calculation).

Week 6: 164.9
Week 7: 163.2
Loss = 1.7
You have it as 1.8?

And for percentage...
1.7/164.9 x 100 = 1.03% (loss/previous week's weight X 100 = percent)
You have it as 0.23?

I could very well be wrong. I suck at math. But thought I'd mention it in case you want to double check.

[MissSMcC]

Wow that's great thanks Kat!
