  • I hope we did win the weigh-in, but I'm trying to buckle down so we make week 2 a good one also! I may lose as much week 2 as I did week 1 since I struggled in with TOM and stuff a week ago!
    Hope all you ladies are doing well.

    Angela-How do you decide what calorie range to use? I assume with a range that you calorie cycle. Has that worked well for you? I'm getting down to the point where I feel a little more restricted with food and I just want to know how to handle it best. The scale is moving again, but I stalled out earlier in the month and it was frustrating!
  • Go Red Team! We kicked some week 1 butt! And congrats jessicado22 for being the individual biggest loser!

    *oh, results have been posted in case you didn't get that
  • WTG RED Team on winning Week 1!!!! Keep up the good work!

    Thanks Diva! It is good to have you back in the challenges!
  • Way to go guys!!!!

    MsPerception, I have found that this works so well for me.. I had a lower range earlier but then after I added exercise I stalled out and it was driving me crazy after losing 10pnds steadily for a month... but when I started to look at the facts I realized that with the exercise I was doing, I was still probably not getting enough calories and my body didn't respond as it wasn't getting enough food for the energy I was expending... here is a great way to figure out your calories needs http://www.freedieting.com/tools/cal...alculator.htm#
    I hope it works for you..
  • Angela-Thanks. I checked out that website and got some good info. I may try calorie counting/cycling for a month and see what happens. I honestly have never done that, but it's worth a try if I stall out again!

    Congrats, Team on the Week 1 win, and in large part to our double digit losers for their amazing losses!! WOW! Let's make Week 2 another Red victory!
  • Greetings Friends!

    Sorry I haven't been able to post as much as I'd like...but I do try to keep up with the thread reading. Things are going well for me. I am loving this season of TBL and just started a weight loss competition with my sister so I am highly motivated! As far as the rest of my life goes...meh...things are up and down and I seem to be highly emotionally sensitive lately. Not sure exactly what's going on but hopefully it will blow over soon. The good thing is that living healthier and feeling better about myself puts me in a much better frame of mind to deal with things. Well, I'm off to work now but I hope everyone has a great day!
  • Happy Thursday everyone.

    Scale said 194.6 this morning. I'll take it. I'm not sure how much I will lose this week now that I am back on solid foods, but as long as I keep my calories in check and get my exercise in I should do alright. Got my walk in this morning and mapped it out so I can log in all mileage.

    My Mom left yesterday so I am now on my own for another week and a bit until DH gets back. I plan on unpacking 100% of the stuff and finding a place for it all. So I am off to do that! Have a great day!

    Thanks Monte!
  • We are off to a great Start REd Team way to go!!!!!
  • Woohoo!!! Way to kick butt, RED TEAM!!

    We need to make Week 2 count as well!

    I've been MIA on these threads as well. Darnit! I'm going to be traveling this weekend (but will have access to a scale since it's my parents' house, hehe), so I'm going to be on serious guard duty to make sure I don't gain. I'm hoping I maintain 157 because that would be 2 lbs down from last week, woohoo!!

    Have a good day ladies!!

    WOOHOO!!!! Thank you MonteCristo! I am so happy! I know everyone on the Red Team worked so hard. Jessicado22, I hear you are the biggest loser of the week congrats you total deserve it.

    I totally agree, that was very gracious of Diva. I just thought they had switch people again. Angela as you might know Diva is on the 3FC Pep Squad, she would have made an awesome Red Team Cheerleader. I was sad that the Blue team got her.
