Okay.... so I had a bit of a play and came up with this..... :)

What do you think? I'm going to print one out and stick it on a red workout T-Shirt :) You can buy iron on Fabric Transfers that you can print out on your printer at home ... and they're pretty good.

If anyone else is interested, the link to the big version is here....

If you all hate it, I'll run away and hide.... :lol:

Very cute, Kerry! edited to add: I may have to print off a couple of copies. One for the front of the refrigerator and one for next to the tv/exercise dvds!

Me too, Shelby!!!!!! :) I'm loving it already. I feel soooo good when I'm OP, so why is it so hard for me to stay there??? lol

Wow...did it really take me two hours to catch up on this thread? Indeed, as a proud product of the KY public school system I think that is a true accomplishment. <just kidding...I love my "Old KY Home" and would rather be there than here>

I must be psychic...as I work on computers 60 or so hours a week, I tend to take weekends off from the tech world so I didn't find out what team I was on until this morning...and what do I have on? A RED sweatshirt.

HAPPY TO BE ON THE RED TEAM ! ! And I am sure that this post takes up a whole page on its own...hehehehe

OH - and love the bracelet idea...just not too jangly, as I am not all about the BLING !

love it....i might put that on some workout shorts or sports bra or something ;) lol i love pink, so dont have much red ;) in the wardrobe :D LOL
got my son down for a nap...so need to get my fitness on now before we have to get DD from school at 3pm....i have the tv on fittv....and its bellydancing now..but hubby's coming home and i dont dare try that while he's home....

i just made the big version of that as my desktop background of the laptop...so whenever i'm on the computer (i.e. ALWAYS!), i'll have a constant reminder :)

Holy crap the thread moves soooo fast :lol:

I just did that too :D I thought nothing would ever make me change my Roger Federer background :lol: But, I guess I was wrong :)

haha.. i can't believe i'm part of a team that has hit five pages already! this is so cool.

Vanetta- you're sister's name is vanessa? that's so cute!

so i'm trying to do my part and i google "red bracelet" and the first 3 sites were kabbalah sites! [not that there is anything wrong with kabbalah, but yeah, i was like, wow, that was NOT what i was looking for ;) ]

and oh yeah!

must haves

def coke zero or diet sunkist or diet dr pepper or diet barqs
laughing cow light
tofu shirataki
eggs
tomatoes
egg beaters [it totally seems like more egg than it is!]
lettuce
ken's salad dressing sprays
pure protein bars and shakes -- they actually taste good!

yep, i love me some food! ;)

I dunno Toni, Danielle (red team member) actually met Bob a couple of weeks ago and she says he is EXACTLY as they portray him on the show. I think this last season they tried to make him out to be mean. Everything I've read so far in his book leads me to believe he really is a genuinely loving caring man.

OH! I LOVE that!i'M Soooooo snagging it! :)

OMG Kerry!!!! that is so awesome!! I LOVE IT!!! Is it okay if I post it on my blog page?

Joy....so ya love those tofu noodles huh? I can take them for a little bit but then the texture starts to gross me out. I suppose thats how I keep the portions in check huh? LOL!

This week and next are super busy for me... but I promise I'll read a few threads here and there, and once I have more time, I'll try to keep up with more of the chatter. :)

1. What would you like us to call you?
May (it's my middle name)

2. What eating plan are you using?
Right now... whatever I can grab on the go that isn't TOO terrible for me. :lol: I'm a calorie counter when I'm less busy, and tend to eat fairly low-fat.

3. What is your favorite way to exercise?
Running (find me in the C25K threads!), videos (especially kickboxing, step, and the FIRM), and tennis.

4. What is one area of weightloss that you struggle with?
I LOVE CANDY.

5. What is one area of weightloss that you excel at?
I find exercise to be a nice "me time" where I can put away Student May and Scientist May and Wife May and just enjoy myself... so I do it at least a few times a week

6. What is your short term goal?
I'd like to exercise 24 days in May.

7. What will you reward yourself with when you reach that goal?
A CD or book.

8. Best weight loss tip?
Be conscientious! Keep track of food and exercise in some way, weigh in often enough to stay accountable, learn all you can about eating healthy and exercising safely.

9. Bob or Jillian?
Jillian

10. Tell us a little about yourself!
I'm a student, finishing my Masters degree in 2 weeks, and going into a Ph.D. program in the fall (2 weeks after this challenge ends!). I have a husband, no children yet (probably some day). No pets right now, but I have a passion for fancy goldfish. I like video games, football, fantasy novels, rock music, and Will Ferrell movies. I'm terrible at crocheting, baking, and volleyball. I could give you fun facts about myself for days. :D

You can do whatever you like with the picture ... that's why I made it. I might be breaching all kinds of copyright though... ;) ... so if anyone asks... it wasn't me....

:eek:
