Yeah I just updated it to Ft. Lewis because we moved on post in November. I never changed it - whoops! I love it here. Are you still in the Army, or did ya get out?

Glad everyone is doing well. Dot started today so I am not feeling to well. Not use to not feeling well lol.

Morning everyone. I haven't been around much the last couple of weeks, but I'm really hoping to get to know you all a bit better.
My first weigh in was a complete disaster. It's that time of month and I'm bloated like crazy. I feel really bad for bringing the team down, sorry ladies.
A question, if I lose weight next week, do I subtract from start weight, or the previous weeks weigh in?
Best of luck to you all, you are doing so great!

Phew! I just got done reading all the posts I missed. Some of you did really awesome last week!

Tomorrow is another day, so I am not going to focus on all the screwing up I did over the weekend. I ran two miles tonight to hopefully counteract some of the sweet and salty junk I ate...does this happen to anyone else? I get like this twice a month, once for TOM and then 2 weeks later when I ovulate. It's like having PMS twice. YUCK!!!!

I am going to add in a few extra cardio sessions this week to hopefully kick my own butt out of this plateau funk I have been at for a while. I can't wait to tell you guys when I am UNDER 200!!!

We're the BIGGEST LOSERS this week! Congrats, fellow teammates!

:grouphug:

I'm tired and getting sick...ugh.

:congrat: Red Team on being the biggest Losers for week 1! Wooohoooo! :carrot:

Alright Red team, you heard it..we were the biggest losers this week! Yay us!! So on account of our victory our Question of the Day is...

Have you ever won anything before? Tell us about it!

Good Morning Red! I'm so excited that I'm not sore at all from running yesterday. I had to watch the video again this morning just to make it real. I cannot believe that I actually ran!! LOL! And I'm even happy about it! I love this Million Pound Matchup, it makes me document things so I have proof!

So here is my answer to today's QOTD: Yes I've won a few things. Nothing major though just little things here and there. I won $50 on a lottery ticket once. Last week I won the radio station trivia for tickets to a game. And in Junior High I won a place at the State Science Fair!

Off to start my day, first day of class then I've got a meeting with the principle at my oldest's school....I'm taking on the parent group *flex* LOL!

Have a great day Red team and congrats!!

Congrats Red Team!

Sorry to be out of the loop lately. My entire family has a nasty bug and I just cannot seem to shake it. It is very frustrating because I want to workout, but there is no way that is happening until I can breathe right again. I hope you are all well and stay OP this week. I am trying really hard to keep my calories right since I cannot get much exercise. I am still hoping for a loss this week.

No, hubby got out and we left there in '99. His dad died suddenly in '97 and he came back here to take over the family business. He was a UH60 pilot with the medivac unit there.

Good morning ladies! OMG we had an amazing loss as a team this week. I have to say I knew we did good, but I didn't realize it was going to be that good:) I'm so proud of all of us. I think as a team we are working well together so far. Way to start off the challenge! Let's keep it rolling and see if we can take week 2 also;) Great job everyone!

Tamicka- Great job girl...that was an awesome loss :)

Melissa- I was nosy and went and took a peek at your other site, and I want to tell you how proud I am off you. You felt like at times your lungs were going to explode, and I like how you kept saying "but they didn't" with a smile. You just looked so happy! I'm really proud of you girl! Keep it up!

Cassie- Get some rest, and hopefully you can fight off getting sick!

Rennie- Feel better hun...a nice heating pad and something warm to drink always helps me:)

Timkerbelle- Welcome
Have you ever won anything before? Tell us about it! Honestly I can't remember anything that I've ever won...I will have to think on it though and see.

Have a great day ladies...the kids go back to school today!!!YAY

I made a little banner that the Red Team can add to their signatures or their avatars. I didn't want to make it too big cause I don't want anyone getting in trouble!

Good morning Cathy:)

Hello All!
My usual official weigh in day is Monday. I weigh in at work because we have a doctor's scale here and it's more accurate and consistent than mine at home. Since yesterday was a holiday here and I wasn't at work, I did my challenge on Friday this week. I was up 1.5 pounds. Well, I went ahead and weighed this morning for my usual weigh in just to see how I'm doing. I was at 177.25! That weight marks my lowest weight in the past 2 years! :carrot: It is also below my bumper weight! 179 can still be my bumper weight as long as it bumps me down instead of up!! ;) This is also 3 days in a row that I have exercised when I got up in the morning. Already on track to meet my 2nd week goal!!

I hope Cassie, DK, Rennie and anyone else who isn't feeling well gets to feeling better very soon! While it's hard to go full force when you're sick, try to stay as close to on plan as possible!

Yello - sounds like photography is a hobby of yours. I would love to become better at taking pictures. I have been having problems with taking pictures in focus. I have a new camera and am not sure if that's the problem. I am a scrapbooker too so I take tons of pictures to try to get some good ones. My sister calls me my nephew's own paparazzi! :)

Melissa - Way to go on the exercise.

Cat - it's great that you are not letting a weekend of screwing up deter you! You can do it!

Timkerbell - we love to have you post whenever you get a chance. Melissa can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can just post your weight each week and they use excel to calculate the lost and %. It's a week to week competition until the end, so I believe if you want to indicate how many pounds you lost then you figure that week to week.

Take care everyone and have a great healthy day!
