A yes...that evil monster the scale. Okay so I'll let you in on a secret...SCALES ARE FOR FISH!!! So dont let that hunk of parts get to you! Our bodies fluctuate so much hour to hour, day to day. Once a week at the most is all you need! I saw a tip somewhere that you should put a sign on the scale that says "is today (insert weigh in day here)? If not...STAY OFF!!!

I exercised today!! I did the basic plus workout of t-tapp and then 20 minutes on the treadmill run/walking 2 minute intervals. I'm pretty proud of myself because for some reason I've been resistant, lol.

Sugar N Spice
Raven--I like her as an individual. She's not in the tabloids like the rest. Hannah Montana..not so much. With these stars today it has to be hard. My friend at work says its hard to explain to her daughter why Lindsay Lohan looks like she does in some of these pictures they show.

I really think it is going to be a great week!

I had a gain this week! I don't know what is up, on Friday the scale said 255, then on all weekend and on Monday it was 259!! What is up?! I was on program all week and exercised 6 days out of 7. Can't wait for my Jillian DVDs to get here for some good a$$ kicking!

Eh, it happens... Is 6 out of 7 unusual for you? Did you do workouts that cause delayed onset muscle soreness? If so you're probably retaining some water for repair especially if you've just amped up the frequency/intensity. It's days like this its sometimes good to look at measurements instead of pounds. :)

1. What is your favorite weightloss tip?
Do it for yourself and only for yourself, because if you do it for others you are less likely to keep it off. Oh yes and gum.

2. Where would your dream vacation be?

I would love to go back to Hawaii. It was a blast, but maybe the Virgin Islands.

3. What is one thing you succeeded at last week?

I fit in all my exercise and water.

4. What is something you struggled with last week?

Controlling my portions. I just need to learn to put my fork down.

5. Who is your favorite fictional character?

Salem on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. He is just a scream.

6. Are you a city girl or a country girl?

A little of both. Work in the city, live closer to the country.

7. What is your favorite thing about Autumn?

Carving pumpkins and the beautiful colors.

8. Do you have any pets?

1 dog named Gary.

9. Which is better? 70s or 80s?

80's

10. What color are your toenails right now?

Natural color with a coat of clear polish.

Weighed in this morning and I'm down 2lbs, thats better than I thought I was gonna do. This is also measurement week for me so I'm hoping for big results! I ate clean today, drank my water and then some, and got in a couple good workouts. I even did the dishes, dusted, and did some laundry :carrot:.

Have a great night.

Bridgette.

No I don't journal. I really should start though. I've been floundering since I hit my "goal" weight in August and gained back a bunch. I need to find focus again.

I ran again today. Not as far as normal cause bf was with me. He is always like "I can't run with you Amber. You run too slow." ...
Just because your ran 6 minute miles when you were a 120 pound 14 year old doesn't mean you can do it 80 pounds, 9 years and no exercise later. :p I kicked his butt! But I'm still proud of him for getting out there


CONGRATULATIONS to everyone for their losses this week!!!!!

Alright you guys are just amazing with your support today!! I'm too exhausted and have spent entirely too much time on the computer doing homework today so I hope you'll all excuse my not doing personals. Oh except WAY TO GO Bridgette!!!! Excellent loss for the week!

I exercised today!! Tried to talk myself out of riding my bike to campus because it was ominous looking of rain, but i decided to just suck it up and do it anyway. And it didnt rain!

I had the most amazing dinner tonight! Chicken fundido. I've given up making new menus for the family so I try out a mini version just for myself first and if they like it then I'll make it another time for everyone. Well tonights dinner went over so well I had 2 little birds, one on either side of me, begging for more bites! This was a dinner we used to order all the time at our favorite Mexican place in Phx and have missed it terribly since moving here. I think I finally figured out the recipe...or at least something close! And totally on plan for me!!

Okay time to go veg out and relax! I'll be on quickly to post results in the morning but then off to classes all day! I'll check on you in the afternoon!! Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!!

Good Morning Red Team!!!

Well we lost the weigh in by .03% I think it was...so close!!! We had 3 people not weigh in though and that can hurt us so PLEASE! Be sure to get those weights posted by deadline!!!

I'm off and running, typical tuesday!! Have a lovely morning everyone!!!

And remember...even if we didnt get the numbers we are STILL Winners!!!

~melissa

Good Morning Red!

Aw, man we were soooo close this week! Oh well, we'll get 'em next week, right?!

LawMom, sorry about the whacky scale. :dizzy: Have you been eating anything higher in sodium the last few days? I know that always gets me! Hey, a pound is a pound tho, you should be proud! :carrot:

Bridgette, congrats on your 2 pounds! :dance: Hey, when you're done there, ya wanna boogie your way here and help me clean? ;) Maybe my kids would keep it clean if someone else cleaned it first! LOL

Melissa, WTG on the bike ride!! Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies when it comes to talking ourselves out of doing things. So glad you ingored it and went!!! Dinner sounds yum, but then again, I'm always hungry these days! :D

Ladies, have a wonderful afternoon. I'm off to Costco and to get Halo3 for dh :rolleyes: Hey, while I'm talkin about Costco, anyone have any super finds that they'd like to share w/ the rest of us? I love that place! :D

Don't forget, our exercise challenge with the other teams has started, so make sure to log those minutes in the new thread Chellez started for us!!

Rock on!!! :dancer:
