Nella-I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Its hard when someone so young passes away. How is your SD doing?

Diva- Congrats again on the new home. Sounds like theres so much to do before the big weekend. I think its important for kids to learn the value of a dollar. Matt maybe upset now but eventually he will thank you for it.

Thanks Dream. I've been meaning to say good luck to ya with the new hours and all, but I've been so caught up in everything. I'm sorry gf. Forgive me???:hug: I hope it's going well.

Also thanks everyone for the encouragement. It takes a village to raise these kids...in this case, an online one, lol!

Hi everyone!

Thanks so much for the encouraging words. :)
I'm here for a mid-week check in. Hope everyone is doing well. Biggest Loser was crazy last night! I also watched Jay Leno afterward, and the 2 that went home are looking good! (I won't say who they are in case you still haven't watched it. :))
Have a great evening everyone!

~Suzie :turkey:

:cheer3: :goodluck: everyone! :cheer3:

So instead of sitting on the pity pot and continuing on a downward spiral, today is a new day and week.:) I feel much better and I'm gonna kick it up a notch and lose that elusive 5 pounds.

Rant over!

p.s. I lurve you Echo and Diva:hug::hug:, and Ms. Retire, you will forever be my inspiration and role model:hug:

awww lurve you too Mercy!! thats so good to know that i helped in some small way! :) well done for you for dusting yourself off!

thanks for the sweet message :hug:

lol at pity pot ! lol

Nixmom, may I also extend my best wishes on your upcoming nuptials. I'm sure your day will be perfect in every way.

Diva!!! A new house for you and you're first. I'd be excited too. And I'm sure you'll do well in the work place. Don't underestimate your abilities.

Echo, you finally broke out of the 160's. YEAH! Sometimes it's a waiting game.

I lost a pound this week so I'm another pound-a-week person. That's what I usually lose and I'm happy with that. That would be 200 pounds in a 4 year period if you want to put a bit of perspective to a pound a week.

Thanks Isabella!!! so sweet of you! :hug:

well done on losing that pound! think about it. thats 3500 calories!! which is alot. and you did it :)

nicely said Isabella, I agree - suzie, stay ! i've had a couple of down weeks, but stick with us . you will get there, we're all allowed to have off weeks from time to time. i know i have plenty of them myself!

I have also been working my arse off, due to out of town company coming in for my mothers 82nd b-day on Thursday. Whatever it is, I will take it:D

THATS BRILLIANT Mercy!! oh i'm so pleased to hear that!!! :celebrate: woohoo!! 2.5lbs is freaking fantastic!!! you broke out of the 140s!! way to go :cheer: :cheer:

Thank you for the pm. I miss you too and Echo and Isabella and everyone! We've been going to the new house a lot and packing some things. No exercise but I am watching the calories and I am sore from all these moving activities. LOL! We are just cleaning, LOTS OF RAKING, fixing and moving some things slowly up until the big move that will be Thanksgiving weekend. So many things ya have to do and we are trying to fix it to where Matt can stay in this school here rather than having to transfer to a new school his last 2 yrs. But he HAS got to start working, saving for a car and driving this summer so he can drive himself. Both Jess and I will be working in the opposite direction, so if he wants to continue in this school, he has to make it happen. I don't think that's too much to ask of a kid that will be 17 this coming summer. Do you?

aww miss you too Diva! :hug:

all that you described IS exercising, its FUNCTIONAL training ;) using your whole body! good job ! :cheer:

Nella, congratulations on getting into the 160s! i saw you join the 160s thread! way to go!! :celebrate:

and on a sad note, sorry to hear about the funeral :( that is so tragic and heartbreaking

Must go surf some food sites and eat vicariously. :D

lol indeed we are, blue is the colour of cool and patience, i reckon.

lol at you surfing food sites, haha if i did that, i would get hungry and want to eat it and obsess over it

90 calories for a small bag of chips is absolutely fine! me love potato chips :p

Sorry I didn't get the results done today. I couldn't figure out the spreadsheet but I heard back from Monte Cristo on how to do it. I will have the results by tomorrow night.

It was a rough day as I attended a funeral for a friend of my SD. She fell ill last week and died within 24 hours of being at the hospital. Very sad and unexpected as she was healthy teenage girl otherwise.

My condolences to you and the girls family.

Thanks to everyone on the blue team for the comments, rants, well wishes and:hug::hug:

Good morning Blue Team. I'm back from my walk a bit early today as DIL, Baby and I are going shopping in town today. I'm supposed to be in the shower right now but here I am, hahaha. Baby isn't ready and neither is DIL so I'm safe.

Today I'm going to try on a pair of Earth Shoes at Walmart. Actually, they're ankle boots and look so comfortable to wear with jeans when shopping, etc. DIL wants a pair, too so we'll be headed in the same direction. I'd also like to find a pair of sneakers/walking shoes that are winter proof. Most of the shoes have mesh tops which not only let in the wet but the cold wind goes through them as well. I've been looking for a while now but my search has been in vain so far. If I find a pair that looks suitable they're too narrow and if I find a pair that are wide enough there's something digging in. You know the story. Wish me luck today. :)

Echo, I do obsess over food but it's safer when it's only pictures and not the real thing. :D

It's a cold but sunny day here. Hope everyone has a good day whether on plan or off.

Good Morning Teamies!!!

OMG! I can barely contain my excitement for life right now! I was up singing & Dancing in the living room @ 6:30 a.m just thinking about my 1st Christmas in my new HOUSE!!!!! That counts as exercise right? :D hehe!!!! Loving life right now!!!!

Isabella - you have more restraint than i do, i would start to crave foods hehe

Diva, aww bless, so happy for you!!! you deserve it! its such a lovely thought! i love your positive spirit. life is good! :celebrate: *does the brocoli dance with Diva* :broc: :broc: boogey on down sista!!

well blue team, i am super excited today! my heart rate monitor arrived today, and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! didnt take me long to set it up and its totally comfortable to wear!! and really motivated me and inspired me during my workout.

i did jillian michales 30 day shred levels 1 2 and 3.

i love my polar f7f! it tells me how many calories i'm burning, and what percentage of my HR i am at, its awesome, its my new shiny toy hehehe. i love it!

my stats from my workout is as follows:

jillian michaels 30 day shred level 1 2 3
total time = 1 hour 25 mins

total calories burned = 703 (45%fat)

time spent in light zone 30 minutes
time spent in moderate zone = 32 mins
time spent in hard zone 22 minutes

time spent in the zone: 151-169 bpm= 22 minutes.

max HR achieved = 88%
average HR = 72%

i know jillian says that we should workout at 85% of our maximum heart rate, that is tough! most of the time i was at around 75% but yah i could feel it when i was at 85% i'm so happy that it arrived today!

i was actually looking forward to working out so i could test it out hehe :)

Echo - You are some kind of machine!!!! All 3 levels!?!? I haven't finished level 3 yet.

I am going to get myself one of those Polar HRM for myself for Xmas. I can't justify the cost of it right now. Ugh, I guess I better get my butt in gear and do some exercise tonight. I totally failed on it last night. It was pouring rain and I'm cranky from pre-TOM crap, so I crocheted instead. Lemme tell you, I burned some serious calories doing that! Maybe like 25, lol.

Hey Gals!

I've read up on everything, and I'm so sorry about the loss of a family friend (never good, but so much learning and experience comes from it) and congrats Diva on the house!

I'm losing my motivation to jog and need to be screamed at. I just can't get out there. I have a 5K in Dec and I need to be able to run the whole thing in 30 like I used to, but I'm just... not doing anything about it! What is the matter with me!?

Also i have a mini rebounder so i do all the cardio stuff on that, to protect my knees. all those jumping jacks and jump rope, slightly easier on a rebounder, cause of no impact. i have a bad knee, so i have to be careful. and i dont go very low on the lunges either.

awesome you totally should treat yourself for xmas!
