You can do this Charity...and you are SO worth it!! I'm glad to see that dh is recommitting with you as well! This is a hard battle and the more reinforcement you have the better of you are going to be! Have a fantastic day today!!

I'm here and still working out and working on eating well. Had some off plan meals over the holiday week but no major blow outs! The girls are in art camp right now so that means almost 2 hours in the car every day for a while, then staying in town hanging out waiting for them. So my schedule is sort of messed up, but I'm going to figure out some places to walk while I'm waiting for them today.

I am committed to making the last push this week! Hope everyone has a great day and keeps going step by step. :cp:

Ann...I saw you were down another lb!!! Way to go!!! Good luck with those walks!! Art camp sounds like fun, my girls would really enjoy something like that!!

Hey everyone!

I'm staying at my parents' house this week, babysitting my younger brother and the cat while my parents and other brother are in Austin visiting UT. I am happy to report a good loss this week of 3.4 lbs! I'm totally shocked. I haven't lost over 3 lbs in quite a few weeks. Hope everyone else is doing well! Let's all make a really great effort to make this last week of the challenge our best yet!

-Lindsey

Way to go Lindsey!!!! That is excellent news! Keep up the great work! You are doing so GREAT!! Such an inspiration to us all!!

~melissa

Thanks Melissa!

WTG Ann and Lindsey! You guys rock! Keep up the great losses!

Well, I finally got my new bike, yeah! However, I went to ride it today and the brakes are not working properly. I will have to wait for dh to get home and look at it. I suppose I could do it, but I have lots of work to do :)

Keep up the great work everyone! Only 1 week left, let's make it a good one!

LOL Charity..go figure huh! My brakes arent right either and I ride anyway, lets just hope I dont have to stop REALLY fast or I'm going over the handlebars. Just need my back ones tightened. I'm so excited for you to get out there and get some rides in!!

I totally forgot it was results day! Better go do that! I have an awful feeling we lost some more teammates.

~melissa

Hello ladies!

Well, I blew it. I totally forgot to log my weigh in for last week and that makes 3 freebies. Not that my weigh in woulda made a difference, I was exactly the same as the week before! lol But still... I really wanted to finish up this challenge with ya'll. I will however, be here to cheer on who ever is left!!

Everyone going to participate in the next challenge???

Lindsey, congrat's on being our BL again! You've done an amazing job really sticking to your plan and always having a continuous loss. You're amazing and I have no doubt that you will accomplish all your goals!!

Aw, shucks, you guys! 'Twernt nothin'... *shuffles feet*

Thanks for all of the kind words! I really needed to hear them today since DBF's dad is being a jerk, basically acting like a fourth grader and talking about me behind my back. You'd think he'd have grown up at least a little bit by the time he's 42, but I guess some people never do.

Hearing all of you makes me really want to get my bike out and ride! I still think I'm a little ways from getting there, though. I don't want to pop the tires... hah hah. When I do start riding again, I think I'm going to invest in one of those seats that has the adjustable gap in the middle, so that it acts more like a seat and less like a thong... haha. I've heard great things about them. I can't quite remember the brand name right now, but it'll come to me eventually.

Danielle, it's great to hear that you're going to stick around to cheer us along! I'm in for the next challenge, and hoping everyone else is too!

Well, guys, I think it's time for me to get going. Talk to you all later!

Danielle you arent going anywhere woman! No sweat about missing the WI...this thing is almost over..but we WILL be doing another in conjuction with the show and I for one cannot wait!

Lindsey...congrats on being the biggest loser!! And for meeting your challenge goal..that is FANTASTIC!! You are so right some men NEVER grow up!

Way to go on the win Red team!! Lets do it again for the finale!

~melissa

:bravo: Lindsey, you big loser!!! You are doing so great! And you cracked up my kids when I read them the comment about the thong-like bike seat. I have a more old-fashioned type one on my bike, and that's uncomfortable enough as it is. Bike riding makes me sooo glad I'm not a guy.

I bought a WATP video a couple of days ago at Ross and I just did it tonight and boy, I really loved it. The moves are so simple, but it really got my heart rate up! This is definitely going to be a regular part of my routine. :carrot:

OK, have a great night everyone and keep on going!

you know leslie really is amazing with those WATP tapes. I've got a couple that I used to do with my girls last summer, I should pull those out!

~melissa

How's it going Red team? Are we going to win this week? Everyone sticking to their plan and getting in their workouts?

~melissa

I'm having a bit of a difficult time with eating. I bought some Luna bars on sale and I think eating them is throwing me off as far as kicking up my cravings--even though they're all "natural" and have lots of protein, I think it's affecting me. So there's something I learned. Could be my hormones going nuts too, as far as the cravings, I can't really tell.

Working out is going great--I did WATP again today and I really am feeling it. I'll be glad when I'm more used to patterns and can put the mute on, cuz the music is not too thrilling IMO! ;)

Way to go on those workouts Ann...what do the Luna bars use for sweeteners? for me that is the big thing with spuring cravings. If its sweet I start craving. LOL...the watp I'd have to do with the sound off too not so much because of the music but because I cannot stand the banter with the people in the background...bunch of dorks! LOL!!! Keep up the great work!! I hope that eating part comes back around again!
