wkgirl I love your glasses!

Karla- Your babies are too cute! I must agree with Heather I love your glasses, so spunky:)

Diva- Sorry to hear about Jess's tires. Just think of how toned and tight your rear is going to look with all that bike riding though!LOL! Hang in there girl...this to shall pass:)

Dang, wrong side of the state ;) I used to bowl in Minot quite a bit back in high school. ;) Man did I hate that drive!

Thanks Cat!! I appreciate it!! I'll need all the luck I can get to run this thing ;)

Congrats on starting the running!! I started up a few months ago doing the C25k program. I'm not as far as Muse is on running for an hour, heck, can't even do 20 minutes straight yet, but I'm getting there! I started running when I weighed around 245 and am now at 230 so it is doable ;) Keep it up!! I know you can do it!

Woo-hoo!! That's awesome Vanetta!!


Hope everyone has a great Monday evening. My son just went to the gym with a friend and the friend's dad who also recently started running...I should go join them ;) Have to change first and get the VCR going to tape House for the hubby.

I have been 100% OP today! Woo-hoo
I wasn't yesterday and the scale says I am up 3 lbs. but, I'm sure it was just the salt from eating out. I know that I didn't eat an extra 3500 cals.

I wi on Saturdays so I will be good until then so I can show a loss.

Hey ladies, been busy lately. I hope everyone has awesome weigh-ins this week!! I have a wedding to attend out of town this weekend which always presents healthy living problems. Hope to stay OP for the most part though. Bonus is I get to go to the beach :carrot:

Shy - this happened to me in my first challenge. I bought a new scale that was 5 lbs off from my first scale.
I actually put 2 tickers in my signature. ONE with my "corrected weight" and one with my "challenge weight".
If the scale is off by 5 lbs., and you are 1 lb. higher, you actually lost 4 lbs. - your challenge weight should be 138. This is only fair. For you AND for your team. Don't short-change yourself with your progress. You STILL LOST 4 LBS!!!!!

Two ticker's aren't that hard to maintain, and are what is fair.

Just my two cents worth - you DESERVE credit for those lbs. lost!!!!!
WAY TO GO GIRL!

OK, off my :soap: now.

Hope everyone else is doing GREAT! I'm down .4 today :D

Let's ROCK the challenge this week!

i' m OP today!!! and i worked out!!! woohoo!

i guess now that i have an actual PLAN it will be easier to stay OP! duh bjeweled!

hopefully i can help us out on this weigh in

Just checking in. Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day!!

I am trying to get a bike ride in tonight....we'll see. Hope everyone has a great OP day tomorrow!

Okay I'm so behind with everyone I'm sorry!!! I started out reading and now I'm being asked to take care of my children...the nerve of them! LOL!! I just wanted to answer one question about starting another challenge after this week ends...ABSOLUTELY!!!! We can do a RED WINS for a week or I can dream up a new one! We'll definitely do something!

Okay tomorrow morning I should have some time to myself to catch up!!! Have a wonderful night Red team!!

everyone's been so quiet today....hope everyone had a good day. i had 85 minutes of exercise but went over on my calorie allowance...but i plan to do better tomorrow.

wow...i posted about it being quiet and after it posted it suddenly showed me all the posts form today....my calendar was off on the laptop and i changed it back to right date today...maybe thats what;s throwing things off...like i click on the beach hopping week 3 thread and it shows 2 pages from there (and my post wasnt there) and after i get into the thread it suddenly shows 4+ pages...too weird.....

weighed in again this morning after a weekend of decent eating and am down to 144.2 lbs - loving the scale now ;) lol

Well I am caught up, and didn't have the best day today. Ate too much, stressed too much and exercised a little but not enough. Tomorrow will be better, and on that note I am off to bed to get more sleep than last night!

i'll go back and read the other 2.5 pages i was missing earlier....but need to get to bed now. its already after midnight and that alarm will be going off at 7am to get our daughter to school. then it's workout time with the girls after kids get to school and lots to do - plus hubby should be home in the morning form 24 hours duty and will be sleeping for a while. might see if he can keep the kids so i can go get the dog from the vet in the afternoon (he's getting neutered in a few hours).

Counting
I hate for the team to lose the weight loss. For me it isn't that big a deal. This is where I am and this is where I go forward from.

My Week 3 Check-In:

Hi ladies. I did MUCH better last week and lost 3 pounds! I didn't do too well today though. It was pretty hectic and we ended up having pizza for dinner and chocolate covered peanuts for dessert :o It's okay though, I'm not discouraged and plan on doing well tomorrow.

I'm bummed that I weighed in late this week though, that means I lose one of my freebies. Oops.

I'd like to say I'll be more available this week but it's finals so who knows. I'll try though.

Good luck this week red team!
