  • receipe?
    Quote: I've been a bit bored with baked chicken. I'm a pretty plain eater, I usually just put some garlic and mrs. dash on it. So to change it up tonight I stuffed my chicken with sun-dried tomatoes, light feta, and some kalamata olives. It was SO good!
    That does sound yummy, can you please post the receipe?

    MonteCristo: Can you please post what the results are for last week as Dixied only posted Blue Teams, which I think you gave to them. I believe Dixied went back to her sick bed.
  • IgetfitNStrongforme~ You should still see some good weight loss at 1600 calories!!!

    Aclai4067~ Sounds like your running intervals might be at a perfect level right now. Could you post the recipe you used with the chicken as it sounds amazing! I have never stuffed a chicken before, so I am a little clueless…

    Where is everyone? We tried the low ropes course out behind our school today, so my thighs are kinda sore right now as I really had to put a lot of effort into staying on the wire… Have a great weekend everyone!

    I just woke up! I stayed up late until 3:00 AM watching Star Trek, I am such nerd! LOL What's a low ropes course? Yeah 1600 calories is okay but I just wish I could do what they do on TBL campus but then again they can't escape can they! LOL MONTECRISTO"S evil twin JILLIAN chains the doors! So have you been thinking up some challenges for us when you take over?
  • Sorry about the lack of results, I will have them to dix tomorrow. It's been a busy week (and somewhat bad) for me.
  • Red Team Spirit
    I have noticed that no one posts much anymore on the Red Team Chat Thread because they post on other threads, we seem to have lost our team spirit. We may have won 3 of 4 weigh-in's but there is no real team support much anymore.
  • I'm here posting everyday even if just saying hello to anyone who might stop in to read the thread. Sometimes feel like I'm talking to myself. But hey, I also recognize many people are really busy during the week. I just happen to have a lot of time on my hands and tend to spend countless hours throughout the week reading posts and replying to some as well. I hope everyone is having a good weekend. It's Saturday night here in SK. I did not make it to the gym but I did get a fitness video in tonight as well as quite a bit of housework. Tomorrow morning is my weigh in. I'm at least hoping that I lost enough to get back to where I was two weeks ago. I took a freebie last week because I gained. Hoping to have some good news to show for the week.

    GO RED TEAM!!
  • Hey everyone.. it has been a crazy two weeks for me and my family.. but things are going back to normal.. kind of.. just waiting now to hear if my nephew will need surgery one his left shoulder, the ortho surgeon says if it does not knit back together on its own soon we will be headin to the OR.. he took a clean but very hard hit in hockey last weekend... He is 14 and a tough kid... doctors said he barely flinched when they were trying to push the break close enough together to strap him up... and they said grown men usually scream... so I am wayy proud of him!

    So.. I went ahead and joined the local gym yesterday.. I have never been find of it but as I feel like I have been getting lazy with my workouts videos at home I figured I needed a little bit of variety..so here goes.. lol

    Kim, you had asked me if I had a nice vacation.. and I did.. I spent some time with my mom and dad which I haven't had a lot of time to do lately so that was nice, as well as got a shopping trip in.. which made me personally very happy.. my bank acct. is not so thrilled.. lol

    Shannon, I want to thank you for all of the hard work you have put in to our team.. I hope we will still see you frm time to time...?

    Good Luck to our new Team Leader... I know your gonna rawk it!

    Have a great Saturday Ladies... and great Saturday night to you Shan.. lol
  • Weigh-in day today. I'm down on my home scale this morning, and going to WW in about 45 min to weigh-in. It's cold as frick here. Yeah, I'm sure even colder up north, but 49 degrees is unacceptable to this southern girl. I can't wait to move to warmer climates (yeah, Georgia is too cold for me). So it looks like today's planned outdoor activities will be swapped for some gym time. The temp is supposed to come back up later in the week. But still, this is just reminding me of the challenge to come with winter ahead. This is the hardest time of year for me, not just because of all the holidays, but because the first hint of cold makes me want to hibernate!
  • Have had a super busy week so sorry I haven't been on more. Even right now I am getting ready to run out the door again, ugh! I have managed to stick with working out everyday (except for this upcoming weekend) despite my schedule though, so at least I can be proud of that. Had to weigh in early today as I'll be gone for the next few days....and I still showed a 6 lb loss for the week!!!!!! I am in shock as I had so many weeks recently with only a few pound losses or even gains. So woohoo! Anyways, I hope we ladies rock at this week's weigh in!
  • Hello
    Well I wrote that post because I wanted people to know that each memeber of the Red Team is needed for support of their fellow team mates. We are all in this together. I understand we are all busy but if team members are only posting on other threads it would be nice to spread the love to the team thread as they say.

    Shan84: With that said I still can't believe it's saturday night were you are, always a day a head. I just woke up and now I am part awake at the computer. I have a good feeling about my weight loss for us this week, I know a bunch of of slipped last week including me. I saw that you were finally going to bite the bullet and go to the gym in Korea, how was it, please tell us? I feel your pain with the housework!

    jessicado22: I undersatand busy believe me, and you have a newborn bady I think. I saw the photo of you with the beautiful bady, is it yours? I know I saw you were one of the biggest losers of the week again, fat just seems to melt off of you, I wish it would for me. I am very proud you are on our team.

    Aclai4067:
    I am a southern girl as well I feel your pain with the cold. Hey are you going to post that receipe for the stuffed chicken breast you made with feta cheese and sundried tomatoes? I know I and Kiml1214 would love to have that yummy receipe.

    Angela: I am so sorry about your nephew, I am going to be praying for him. Did you and your family get to enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner?

    Shannon: I just wanted to thnk you again for all your hard work. I hope also you check-in with us. I am not sure if you are still are going to be on the team, are you?

    Kiml121: Good Morning my friend! I am being a lazy bum right now. What are you up to? I was thinking about you when I saw the Barefoot Contessa make Lemon Sole it looked so good. If you want I will get the receipe.
  • MonteCristo~ Thank you for posting those results!

    IgetfitNStrongforme~ A low ropes course is a series of wires that attached to large wooden beams. The beans are too far apart for you to be able to get from one to another without the help of others. We’re trying to get our students working together more and we have to start with the low ropes before moving onto the high ropes course. Every team needs a little kick in the butt every now and then so don’t feel bad for posting that! Recipe sounds interesting, I'm willing to try it...

    shan84~ How has your week been? Think you’ll see some good stuff on the scale tomorrow?

    Cape Breton Chick~ Sorry to hear about your nephew, I hope he heals okay! How was your time at the gym? Good to hear you had a good vacation!

    Aclai4067~ How did your weigh in go?

    jessicado22~ 6 lbs. is awesome!!!


    Congratulations to all our biggest losers! I unfortunately woke up this morning with a sore throat and feeling pretty icky. My parents have been in NM for a little over a week, so I’m hanging out at their house today to make people think that someone is actually staying here… hence the reason why I have access to a computer. I went to Rent-a-Center last night to check out computers, but while I could afford the monthly payment, I would end up paying 4X what the computer is actually worth in the long run. I think I’m just going to try and get my desktop from college fixed up and then just save up for a laptop. A nap sounds really good right now…
  • Hey ladies. Lost 3 pounds this week. woot! I am battling with the idea of when I'm going to bite the bullet and start wearing jeans to weigh-in. I've been wearing light skirts and dresses all summer. So today given the weather I wanted to wear jeans of course and thought they couldn't hurt that much. So before I walked out the door I stepped on the scale in my jeans. I was up 2.5 pounds... I took the jeans off, my weight went right back down. My jeans weigh 2.5 lbs! I was not about to let my pants negate this week's hard work at my weigh-in so I changed into a dress before I went. I'm going to have to start wearing pants eventually, but I wasn't ready to take that hit this week.

    Jessicado- you're doing so awesome!
    KimL- hope you feel better soon

    Stuffed Chicken Recipe- (it's super-easy, I don't do complicated)

    One 3oz chicken breast (apprx. 110 cal/3 points)
    2T California Sun-Dry brand julienne cut sundried tomatoes w/ herbs (45 cal/1 point)
    1T President brand fat free feta cheese (40 cal/1 point)
    5 large kalamata olives, pitted (45 cal/1 point)
    Garlic powder [optional] (calories not listed, sorry)

    Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut olives into 3 or 4 smaller pieces. Crumble feta cheese. Cut a pocket into the side of the chicken and stuff the tomatoes, olives and feta inside. Pull the pocket closed the best you can, it will probably gape some. Sprinkle some garlic powder on top if you like. Place chicken on a non-stick cooking sheet and bake for 18-20 min.
    Double as needed for multiple people/servings
    * 240 Calories/6 WW points per serving

    I usually serve this with green veggies such as snap peas or broccoli to avoid adding points to the meal.

    Yikes that long rope course sounds very hard to do! The recipe does sound really yummy. I am sorry you are feeling under the weather. I say stay in bed drink lots of tea and have some chicken soup and watch old movie or whatever you like that is my prescription for you feeling better. As far as computers Dell has some killer deals and plus I bet through your school you can get some sweet deals!

    Congrats on your 3 lbs, I know how hard you worked for them! And thanks for the yummy recipe.

    I received this PM below from BlkBarbie25 and I wanted to share it because I want her teams to know what she is going through so we can all support her. She was our biggest loser last week and yet when she stumbled she feels unworthy. We are all worth it, to take back our lives and to be happy.

    Quote: i keep falling off the wagon and i didnt want to be a bad influence
    That's what we are here for to support each other. Please don't go hide when you fall off come and talk with your team mates. You are not a bad influence, believe me. Just remember that you lost 8lbs last week, you were our biggest loser! Did you read how Shan84 and I were complaining to each other a couples weeks ago that we fell off the wagon, she had beer & some other things and I had 3 chocolate bars one day and Thai take out another. Today I had a chocolate bar, I just never seem to be able to resist them a day or two before TOM. But I got some great advice from my team mates, which was to have 1 chocolate bar because if not, I might eat 3. One bar I can work into my calories three bars are half my calories for the day. There is a reason why Shan84, myself and MonteCristo post our food everyday one we can see how many calories we are eating, two accountability and three the support we get from each other to stay the course.

    I want to ask you one more question; if you were to fall down on the ground would you lay there on the ground for the rest of your life? No, of course not you'd get up no matter how many times you fell and if you needed up up you'd ask for it. Please take your teams hand and get off the ground and walk on.
