Hey Danielle,
Have you tried your WATP video yet? Let me know how you like it?
Love

OK, ladies, I did not post my weight in time because I thought today was Sunday! Luckily I just realized it's Monday, because I have an interview this afternoon for an internship in the fall.

Anyway, I was the same weight all last week, but today am down a pound, so I am thrilled with that.

Gotta run and make sure I have clothes etc. ready for this afternoon, then go buy gas (which I sincerely wish was not so expensive!!) but I'll be back later.

Have a great day everyone!

LOL...gas not expensive! Long gone are those days I'm afraid! I hope it wasnt too bad for you Ann! Way to go on another lb gone!! You are doing so GREAT!

I've been doing great today with food! Eating very healthy and if I get a little hungry I've went for fruits and veggies. Not sure what I'll get for exercise today, missed my walk this morning because it was pouring and now the wind is out of control. I'll get something in though!

Hope everyone else is having a great day too!!

I apologize if any of you got multiple reminders, 3FC kept telling me attempt was denied when I clicked send.

Way to go this week Red team losers!!! Danielle, Shelby and hrbabe!! You girls kicked some butt!!!

Happy Tuesday Gang!

What a rough few days I've had at work! Getting ready for inventory was pure heck, not to mention torture! LOL Long hours and being abused by management because of their stress is not my idea of fun at all. I've come home the last 3 nights absolutely wiped dealing with all that garbage. So glad its over!!!

Wow, can you believe me, the Biggest Loser for the week! Holy cow!! That feels pretty awesome though, I won't lie! We still gotta kick some butt though, blue team is demolishing us. We can do it, we have lots of fight in us still! Right????????? Right!!!!!!!

Love, I haven't even cracked the case on my new dvd yet! I've been way too busy with work, but hopefully some time today I can if I don't have to taxi my kids around all afternoon. I'll let ya know how it goes!

Lindsey, great to see ya chicky!! Have you and DBF found anything yet? Ahhh, to be young again, I loved new adventures like that when I was younger! Hope you had a great time!

Melissa, I hope you're accomplishing all you need to at home. I know you, once you get a thought in your head you just run with it and work like a fiend to see it through! Sore muscles & all! lol Still eating good & all that stuff?

Charity, I hope you've enjoyed your time with family. I miss mine so much! Hey, no worries about weigh in's okay???? I, for one, am super glad that you've stuck with us no matter what!

Ann, how did your interview go???? Gas is incredibly spendy, isn't it? And of course I've got the gas hog from haides! I've named my car PIG for that very reason. LOL I hope things went as you wanted them to and you nailed your interview!!

Well alright chicks, time for me to get busy around here. I've got errands to run and was just informed that I need to affix my "mom's taxi" sign on my car! Looks like it's gonna be one of those days!

Make today the best!

Wednesday already! This week is just flying by! And everyday gets just a little better I think. I did cave last night and have some fries, we made burgers for dinner. But I did get in a really nice bike ride. I had a little victory. When my girls and I take a certain route we have to go over a bridge that goes up over the railroad yard. Its a steep hill and last night I was able to ride my bike to the top and not get off and walk it up. I was huffin and puffin and my heart was pumpin but MAN did it feel good to make it all the way up!

anyone watch Shaq's Big Challenge last night? I hate when they do set stuff up for drama like the kids working out. As if we didnt all expect the kids to just goof off when they were supposed to be working out. I'm really hoping for these kids to win, so scary!

Danielle!...you are so incredible!! No more fries for you either right? Right back on track, cant let those 6.5 slip away. We are going to do this, this time!! No looking back! I hope the taxi service wasnt too out of control for you!

Alright red team...off to have a fantastic day in the park with my girls! Where is everyone else?

~melissa

Happy Wednesday Red Team!!!!

It's so quiet here again, hope everyone is just out enjoying the sunshine and family time.

Melissa, have a great time with your girls today! If it weren't so flippin hot here we'd be at the park too. In our case we'd have to be there at 6am just to have decent weather....like 85! LOL You know what I'm talkin about! Good job on the bike ride!!!! I bet you felt like a million bucks when you got to the top, huh? Yay!!!!

I really need to get it into gear today. Yesterday was a very lazy day for me, I couldn't seem to wake up all day long. Errands weren't too bad yesterday, I actually said no to a couple places because I was just too tired and hating being out in the heat. 114 degree heat really does something to your motivation when you're tired already. LOL I just wanted to get home to my a/c and have a cold bottle of water.

Everyone have a lovely day and please, come by and let us know how you are!

Hi everyone!

Well, things have been really busy for me, but I wanted to try to catch up a little.

First, congratulations Danielle, Shelby, and hrbabe for your losses this week! And Congrats to Amber and Love for hitting a new weight "decade!"

Second, for Love, here is the recipe I use for eggplant parmesan. http://www.recipezaar.com/28094.
Sometimes I dip the eggplant in egg whites and then in Italian bread crumbs before I bake it. It gives it a nicer texture, I think.

I had a great interview for my internship hours during the fall term. I need to do this to complete my certificate for the paralegal program I'm in. Last month I already lined up some hours with this great family law practitioner and his partner who does wills, trusts and probate, and these new hours are going to be with the superior court conflict counsel. I think it will be really interesting. I am nervous about the going to the jail to interview prisoners for their bail hearing info part of the internship, but I'm sure someone will show me the ropes at first. All the rest of the duties should be pretty good and the chief counsel (guy who interviewed me) is a great lawyer from what I hear. Luckily a friend who knows him warned me that the guy has really weird hair (exactly like Donald Trump!!!) so I knew not to stare.

We have had really hot weather here (in the 70's.) Seriously, I really feel for you guys in the truly hot places. I do not like that at all and when you write about it I just feel so glad I'm not experiencing it.

Well, I'm off to fold laundry and get ready for my class tomorrow. Everyone, have a great evening!

P.S., I forgot to say, I finally watched some of the Biggest Loser shows this week! I don't get around to watching a lot of tv, obviously. It was really inspiring, and I hope to catch more! Plus I got to see Trainer Bob. Wow!!

Good Morning Red team!! My girls and I skipped the park and went straight on to the lake yesterday. It was so beautiful, we had a really nice time until we went to pack up the car and got attacked by mosquitos! No bike ride for me last night. Its going to be another HOT one today but no lake since I've gotta take dd to the orthodontist...good times!

danielle....that heat will take it all out of you every time! I hope you managed to get something accomplished in the cool!

Ann...Isnt bob something! He's just such a special man, and not just because of his looks. Your work sounds very interesting! My dd is expressing alot of interest in law already. Enjoy that cool weather!

Have a wonderful Thursday Red team!! Can you believe the weekend is almost upon us AGAIN! This summer is going to fast!

~melissa

Good morning, Red Team!

Melissa, I'm glad you had a good day at the lake, and hope going to the orthodontist isn't too bad! Bob seems like one of those just genuinely nice and caring people (from what I can tell on TV anyway!) They sure are few and far between.

Well, I'm off to clean my neighbor's house today. It is huge and I always get a workout doing that--it takes me 4 hours! I am taking a coke zero (my treat) and some veggies with me so I don't get too hungry while I'm there. I think I'm going to make pizza for dinner tonight. I have gotten everyone converted to whole wheat crust, they don't even notice it now.

Hope everyone has a great day. The weekend is almost here, then the 4th!

Have a wonderful day ann!! I wish my neighbor would come clean for me LOL! Sounds to me like you are planning on having one successful day!!! Way to go!!

I slept horribly last night, it was so hot in my room even with the fan on, I just couldnt get comfortable. So I have a feeling today will be a lazy day, not that every other day isnt LOL!

So since the challenge is almost over it would be really nice if the Red team came out and talked a little about the ups and downs they faced over the challenge. I'm curious if anyone plans on going the next round. I am! My hope is that people will stay more committed and active with their teams if it is going in conjunction with the show itself.

Have a great Friday Red team!
