Hey team- just a quick check in before I head to bed. I've been out most of the week, a lot of sickness here, both kids and I have been sick all week. I haven't exercised much but I've been staying on track with the calories and drinking plenty of water. Ok I'm off to bed everyone have a great weekend!


:turkey: Happy Thanksgiving to those up North!

Hey everyone!

I think I can FINALLY get back to my normal routine this week!! And really start trying to lose weight. I was really nervous about relapsing for a SECOND time being sick.


But good luck with weigh in tomorrow with everyone!! I think I'm going to go read more of my TBL book :)

Hey girls! Crazy week ~ I haven't even posted here yet!

Gonna have to catch up with everyone later. Things on my plate this week have been:

• Finding out I'm gonna be an aunt!
• Kid weekend
• Loading up FH to send him to Idaho deer hunting
• Getting prepped to start my bootcamp tomorrow!

Hope you all are staying on target. I ate like a fool this weekend, but ended up down a little bit. Strange. So off to weigh in, and I'll be back soon to see whats going on in your fabulous lives!

Feel better Dream. I used to have kitty named dream.

Hey Blue Team! :cheer3:

Today was my weigh in, and I'm happy to report i have a 1.1 lb loss! :goodscale

so all that calorie counting and calculations paid off lol. i am especially pleased, because i was nervous i would either gain or not lose anything at all, cause i've been quite sick this week, with a painful sorethroat, and so i wasnt able to work out as hard as i would have normally. so i'm very happy with 1 lb loss :) :broc:

even yesterday my scale hadn't budged, so yesterday i was beginning to doubt myself, but still kept pushing onwards... it was only today that it finally moved!!

total calorie deficient this week (6 days) from both foodwise and exercise was 6619 calories =so a predicted mathematical loss of 1.89 lbs loss and in reality, i saw a 1.1lb loss :)

i'm also very happy, that my BMI is now 25!!! yippeee :) and i broke through the 160 barrier!! i just have to maintain it this week and keep going!
I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone on the blue team! without you guys, i wouldnt have had the motivation to keep pushing myself and stay on track and be motivated to lose the weight!!

THANK YOU!!!

Go blue team!!! :cheer3:


starting weight was - 160.9lbs
current weight is - 159.8 lbs
pounds loss = 1.1 lbs
percentage weight loss = 0.68%

good luck everyone for your weigh in tommorow!!

taking the day off tommorow, to run a couple of errands and treat myself to a cinema trip, havent been for ages!! :) so looking forward to that. and now i have even more reason to treat myself , i had said to myself when i reach a bmi of 25 i would treat myself some what :)

Hi Blue Team,
I hope all is well and the week went great for everyone. I am being very bad now and I just copy and pasted from my entry on the Oct weight loss challange. I would just repeat myself anyway so here it is. I hope everyone has a loss this week...Good Luck!!

Hello again,
I'm back from my conference and it was very good and lots of new info. I called the store when I got back and the lab is still standing so all good there too. I gained at Whistler on the last couple days, I was so good and avoided all desserts for the first 2 days and then gave in for the last 2. But I was good and only had 1 each day.
When I weighed in when I got back I was up 2.2lbs but this morning for weigh in I actually lost that and more for a total loss for the week of 1.4lbs:carrot:

It was not to fun coming home to the snow here in Calgary though ugh I'm just not ready yet. I can take the cold but the idiots behind the wheel are another thing.

I went to my brothers today to celebrate Thanksgiving and I did well with the eating but I did bring home a small piece of pecan/pumpkin pie for later. I told myself it was okay and tomorrow I have to decide if I want anything (to go out) for my birthday. I really want to go to the cheesecake for...you guessed it cheesecake but luckily for me I have to do laundry tomorrow and I may just be to lazy to do both

Well that's about it for now I still haven't caught up on all the posts yet so no personals. Sorry about that. I hope you all have a great day and Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians.

idealmuse-Welcome to onderland!!! Great Job this week!:carrot:

Morning Everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. I fought the Swine Flu in Matt all last week and now I am running a fever and feeling unwell myself. I am taking LOTS of vitamin's and trying my best to fend it off, I am about to go back to bed but wanted to check in.

Keep up the good work everyone!

{{{{{{{{Echo}}}}}}}} I hope you're feeling better gf. Miss you!:hug:

{{{{{{Mercy}}}}}}}} Miss you too gf! I hope all is well!:hug:

((((((((HUGS Blue team))))))))))))) :hug:
:dust:

Ugh. I get a big ole FAIL for this past week.

pick up & dust off, right?

:hug::hug: to you!!!!!!!

I hope you feel better soon, you are missed here:). I have been working a lot these past few days, so I haven't been around.

You take of yourself okay? The flu isn't something that you should play around with, drink your fluids, get your rest........:D

I didn't have the greatest week either(dieting wise). I know I just about killed my knees doing the 30 day shred, I had to stop exercising on Tuesday or risk a greater injury,but I was able to hold on to my weight from last week.:)

I am going to start exercising again today, but cut out some the moves that make my knees scream. I hope it works, I actually missed exercising this week:D

ECHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Missed you too this week:p

Happy Birthday Bigmid!

Right!!!!!!!! Liz, I'm a Liz too, so know that we are Liz squared, we both can get back on track this week:D

Sorry Guys-just remember I didn't post my WI yesterday, so needed to take a Freebie. Need a few more hrs added to my day. Hope all is well, and we all, will be having a great week ahead. Will try to post when I get home from work, which I should be leaving for now. Take Care

OH NO Diva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope it's not the S word??!?!

:wave: Hi, everyone! I have missed like a week here and have gone through a real turning point in my life. I was so pressured by everyone at home whenever i would workout or cook my own healthier meals that I had just made up my mind not to do it now and just look after my family. this is what happens every single time I try to lose weight, I feel like I don't have time and put it off for "when everyone doens't need me so much."

Well, it hit me yesterday that there is never going to come a time when everyone is not depending on me because I take care of everyone and put them before myself and they know that! SO, I decided that I am NOT doing it again! I sat my hubby down and told him I will be exercising and I will be making healthier meals and if he doesn't like what I cook he is free to make himself something else. He was okay with it, mostly because he is going back in the truck today and won't be here all the time anyway.

anyway, I feel this brave sense of confidence and power that I didn't have other times I tried this. I have officially put myself first and it felt realy good!

I'm not going to try to catch up here completely, but wanted everyone to know I am back and feel stronger than ever :strong: I feel I have turned a corner of some sort where I finally decided I am doing this, it is MY time, and everyone else can just get in line behind me with their needs and wants. I have never, ever done taht before, but I am right now.

Great attitude. I had the same kind of week. It started on Thursday and I just couldn't get myself to stop eating horrible things. So I am up a lb. this week. But here's to a new week and a new attitude!!;)

I pmed u. You didn't miss weigh in you have to weigh in by 11:59 pm est tonite. So unless you need one you don't have to take it.:D

Hooray for you! I think that is probably most women's story or at least most mom's story. We give all we have (and we r expected to, at that) until there is nothing left for us. So glad you came to this realization. If you don't take care of you first it makes it really hard to give you all to anyone. Glad you are feeling empowered!

Hello ladies!!! Had a very busy weekend helping my parents, so I haven't checked in much since Friday.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend! I'll check in more after work, just wanted to say - GO BLUE TEAM!!!
