I'm glad you got things worked out and are feeling better today gf.
Sounds like a really good plan. Mine is very similar.

That's gonna be me next week when it's Dude's (FH) B-day and there's NO way I'm not having a piece of that cake I ordered today! NO WAY! I'll just have to walk 2 hours that day too!!!

I'm so sorry to hear that about your Mom. Hang in there!

eusebius, Shinynew, Everyone!

Hi everyone

This is my first BL challenge so I am very excited! It looks like we have a great group

Dixied, I can't even imagine how much work it must take to set this up, so thank you!
Nixmom, that is wonderful!
Fauxtini, so sorry about the divorce
Diva, I plan on exercising at least 5 days a week but am aiming for 6. I count calories and watch my sugar grams and sodium mg's.

everyone. We can do this

Hey Blue Team!

I've been reading all morning, but I've been doing TBL Thread "housekeeping" so this is my first team post today.

In answer to the question about my plan.....survival. At this point that's all I'm promising.

Abby - I'm sorry about your situation. We've missed you on here. I see you on Facebook but it just isn't the same.

eusebius - That's a heavy-duty exercise plan!

Twilightwing - mmmm, pie. I know I'm going to screw up your name at some point and call you Nightwing. (just a random DCU fangirl moment)

**Yes, it's true. Sometimes the decision of which team to put you on is based on your username, the team you root for, your avatar, or location. But other than that, it's completely random. **

Kris - Congrats! When's the wedding?


Gotta go, boss is paging me.

Thanks for the hug Diva.

My plan of action is to get back walking, biking, circuit training and weight resistance (started walking on Monday), and count and log calories on fitday (started that on Monday also). That usually works for me.

woohoo!!!! i'm so excited to be on the blue team! i dunno why, just sounds cooler!!

go blue team!!

a BIG Thanks to Dixie for all your hard work!!! awesome to have you as our team leader!!

and lovely to meet my fellow team mates!!

time to kick some serious butt!! hehehe

i agree with Diva, nice to see some friendly and familier faces in this team!

what kind of challenges will there be? what kind of form do they take? like exercise stuff?

this is my first BL challenge, and i love the show! so happy to be part of this

congrats Nixmom on the engagement

twilight nice to see you here! love your avator. lol at Dixie saying she might call you nighttwig, haha thats so funny

retiredone sorry to hear about your mom

i have a really important exam on the 28th sept, so i wont be able to do as many personals as i would like. but will definately check in once a week.

i think i will do my weigh ins on sunday, just to be on the safe side.

but everytime i work out, i will be pushing myself harder for the team!

good question Diva ! my plan is to do a combination of southbeach/gabriel method/paul mckenna's 4 golden rules. and to do p90x.

a big shout out to all the blue team members. we rock!!

I just put up a poll. My brain is fried from overtime, I'm not inspired to think up a new challenge on my own yet.

dixied- nightwing works lol.. as long as the 'wing' is in there somewhere, ill answer to it

Diva- i totally understand about bday pies and cakes.. sometimes ya just gotta lol... but as long as we work off most of it and only indulge once in a great while... it should be okay lol.

Echo- thanks about the avatar.. i have brown eyes and use that same avatar on my myspace.. my daughter says she always feels like im watching her when shes on her page lol...

went to costco a few mins ago and walked around for about an hour just lookin at all the stuff i'd love to buy.. i could spend 10k in there no prob lol... still need to work out to my dvd, but just had lunch so gonna wait a bit... other than TOM it's been a good day so far.. stayin in my calories and drinkin plenty of water and unsweetened tea hope things are goin great for my fellow bluebies

hehe i love polls!!! thanks!! nice poll they sound great!

-

you're welcome Twilight. i love the sparkly bit in the eyelashes so pretty hehe.
I shall call you Twilight, cause I love the film/books hehehe

I am doing this for the third time. Twice before I got sidelined and couldn't finish... Once I pulled a muscle in my back and was having spasms and the second I had to have surgery and didn't get the program finished before I went in... Third times the charm right?? It is a great program though!

Thanks I have been around and mostly lurking. I need to kick my weight loss into a higher gear now. Its been too slpw for me. But I'll take it!

My plan is to track my calories - everything that goes into my belly will be recorded! I also plan to focus on lots of fruit and veggies with protein while limiting my carbs. I plan to finish the C25K program - I run (well jog is a better word for it) Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday is to the gym to use the elliptical and I must start doing something with some weights.

GO BLUE!!!!!!!!! This is actually my school motto (where I work)

Oh I forgot to ask a question that I have... Do we use the weight we reported when we signed up as our starting weight??

Echo- Twilight works havnt seen the film nor read the books yet myself, but will have to check it out one day soon..

i see youre from london? i lived in Stafford for three years... and even tho i shouldnt want it cause of the calories, i miss Chippy lol.. we just dont have the same over here lol

Yes.

It took me 2 or 3 tries to finish the C25K. I finally finished when I ditched the podcast and used my own music. Now I run almost everyday. Usually 3-6 miles. I will be a year in Oct since I started and sometimes I still can't believe I'm a runner.

Twilight - What DVD? I was doing a lot of DVDs when I started out.

As for the Plan of action question.... My plan is continue using my bodybugg (basically just calorie counting) and really keep up my activity level. I'm training for my 15k on Nov 1st (glad to see a bunch of c25k people here!) and continue working on my biking and swimming over the winter for the longer Tris next summer.

That... and my plan is to also work on my nutrition content more. Less junky stuff and much more whole grains and vegs.

Plus maybe some strength training? Looking at working in the Chalean Extreme DVDs.

Hi everyone -
Another first time BL Challenge participant!
My plan for success is stick to my WW diet, use my Sensewear and I just started the P90X DVDs.

Hey blueies... so nice to be back in the challange and in the right colour too ... lol hiya to all the newies... and the old newies i didnt meet .... im Amy and im in Australia ...

i have had a full on year since i was last in the challenges.. but somhow still managed to loose another 20 pounds.. despite all the b****hit ... so im pretty happy .. ( my sis went nuts, my friend murdered an old lady on my street, my son got nightmares becuase of , my cousin died. mum went nuts,,, nan died.. mum went more nuts ) all while my hubby worked away 4 weeks work 1 week home.. but its all settled down..
