I'm here! I'm here! Please don't beat me with the wet noodle! Yesterday was a busy day, not to mention sorta stressful...but it's over now. hallelujiah! I slept like a rock that's for sure, felt so good to crawl into bed!

Muse, I am so sure you will see fabulous blood work! You are doing amazing, wow, 35 lbs!!!! I can't wait til I can say I've lost that much!

likenoother, gosh, sorta sounds like you'll be "scary person" soon. J/K! I am certain that you will do very well with your plan during all this stress, you already know what lays ahead and you sound totally up for it!

Ann, good golly momma, you did have a day didn't you! I say a rest definitely is needed, hope its a good one!

Bridgette, aw hon you did wonderful IMO! You hung in there with food and water and that is major important. Life just happens sometimes, but the best part is we get new beginnings all the time! You're a star!

shygrly, ahhhhhhh a sauna. Now that's what I call relaxation! Great job on the 30 min.!!!

Melissa, hope today is going well for ya! You are rockin this food thing to the max, and hey, all that bike riding too!! Glad the picture thing went good, and I know the girls looked beau-T-ful!

Okay, well yesterday was sorta a bust with my plan...I ate terribly and no exercise. About the only thing I did right was drink all my water. I think I've found my footing again today and am feeling very optomistic. I had to really dig deep last night while thinking about what a bad off plan day I'd had. Plain and simple, I'm an emotional eater and I HAVE to find another outlet to not let that take over and ruin all my progress. No one says I have to be perfect, but at the same time, if I wanna be successful I have to try and keep trying no matter how many times I have to keep getting up from falling down.

I've got myself armed with yummy foods for the day, what am I sayin....I'm eatin like a freaking queen today! LOL Ohhhhh, and you should smell these breakfast "cupcakes" I've got in the oven...who needs MickeyD's!! I've got a rumbly in my tumbly that's for sure!!! The rest of my day is planned carefully to make sure I get my workout in, amongst all the many "mom" duties I have. My youngest DD comes home from camp this afternoon so I am very excited! she's been gone for 4 whole days! However busy today, I WILL get that exercise in, I WILL eat right, and I WILL make today a RED WINS day!!!!!

dene71-has computer issues so is excused

The week is almost over ladies, and your team would like to know how you are doing! Please take a moment to be sure and check in. You've got to post your weight so why not talk to your team too...it was one of the Red team requirements remember! We really really want to hear from you and support you in your weightloss journey...thats the point of being on a team challenge!

I didn't mean to scare anyone (wink, wink)! I just like to give people fair warning. I can already see it coming out in some of my posts. I need to reign it in a bit. I've had a really good day so far with staying OP. Working on my 2nd bottle of water with one more to go. I really doubt exercise will happen. I will weigh in Monday morning about 6am. I think it will be a good one!

See....I just went out after posting in here to see what else is going on in the forum and there's another thread out there...Where is all this negativity about the Biggest Loser coming from? I'm not going to even post in there. People are just over analyzing stuff.

Yeah dont bother, we got a healthy debate going and got shut down. But, you are kicking some butt girl!!! Cant wait to see those amazing results on Monday!! Just so ya know...takes alot to scare me LOL!!

~melissa

Hi! Ladies!

I wrote a post this afternoon and responded to everyone's comments but somehow it didn't make it on here. oh well

Tomorrow is weigh in day for me and I was wondering if anyone has something particular that they do before weighing in. You know like a last chance workout like they do on the show. Do you eat before you weigh in lol those type of things.

I have stayed on plan the majority of the time this week. I was so proud of myself yesterday. My husband and I went walking around the lake and when we came to hills I ran up them instead of walking A very big thrill for me. lol

I just found the top reviews at the bottom of this page, how neat

Muse how did that doctor appointment go ! Good I hope

Hun e. b. What debate ? Dang , I miss everything Good job on the bike riding there lady

likenoother I love your name by the way. There's negative talk about the biggest loser show what? No , don't tell me lol I love that show

Hi veggie lady glad your back on track.

Sugar N Spice You know what makes a winner? When they fall they get right back up and try again! That my friend makes you a winner!

shygrly Good job on the walking and I'm jealous of that sauna


Dream710 eatting within your calories and drinking your water is half the battle . Good job on that

mariposita Wow! It sounds like you moved around quiet a bit today! I bet you got more exercise than you realize. Hang in There


Well, I'm going to have to get off of here and get some exercise in. lol I hope I didn't overlook anyone. If I did I'm sorry!


God Bless the red Team

Hey Red Team, just checking in! I bought some hand weights today so I can keep going with my exercise, w00t! I have been doing awesome with eating this week too. Went to an Italian place today for lunch and only had 1/2 piece of bread, so proud of myself! I hope everyone else's week is going well too, weigh-ins coming up!

Melissa, WTG on the bike ride chicky!!! Woo hoo for you!! Hope the homework isn't too killer tonight.

likenoother, ya didnt scare me, but thanks for the warning. My kids would swear to you that *I'm* scary tho sometimes! LOL Aw, I hate thinkin anyone is bad-mouthing my beloved BL. I read the thread and before I could respond they locked it. Drat! I chalk it up to plain ole jealousy...why else does someone have to go on and on about the success of someone else? *shrugs*
Good job with that water and exercise, I KNOW your weigh in will be fab!

just get it done, no not anything in particular I do before weigh in... about the only thing is I try to keep it a lower sodium day the day before and drown myself in lots of water. Dont know if it really helps but makes me feel better mentally. lol Oh, and like everyone else here I'm sure, always always always gotta weigh nekkid. Thanks for the chin up and motivation, I really need it in my fragile state. LOL Good luck with your weigh in, can't wait to hear!

LawMomVeronica, yay for you and all your success this week! And wow, half a piece of bread, that's amazing lady!!!

You ladies are such great motivation for me, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I had a really good day (despite feeling starved all day---darn cravings!) food wise, and water....exercise didnt really happen so much. I did an exerball dvd tho which got me workin my abs alot so all-in-all not a shabby day. Just didnt get to that elliptical like I'd planned. Tomorrow!

♥danielle

Melissa & Sugar N Spice--I'm so happy you don't scare easily. I really think of myself as a caring & fun person but sometimes...

Just get it done--Thanks for the compliment about my name. In the general chatter forum there is a thread asking people to share how they chose their user name. My answer is simple. It reminds me that regardless of how I look or feel on a particular day or at a particular moment that I'm "like no other"

Sugar & Spice and Just get it done--Well I'm fiercely (sp?) loyal to TBL and I may be overreacting a bit

Hey girls, just checking in quick before I head to bed.. I felt bad about not exercising yesterday, so I did extra today. I did a mile and half walk this morning and after work I did my pilates and my jogging/walk combo. My choices in food wasn't the greatest today, but still stayed within my calories range. I think my main problem is that I've been trying to get to the grocery store all week and still haven't made it. I best go to tomorrow we are almost out of TP.

Have a great night


Bridgette.

Good Morning Red team!! Shocker I'm running behind again!!! Just had to pop on and tell ya I am down another 4.8 !!!! Next week I'm aiming at breaking into the 230s!!!! Cant tell you how excited I am!!
