Purple Team "Bridging the Gap" Chat Week 1
 

GOOD MORNING PURPLE PEOPLE!!!! I'm ready to knock a couple or three pounds off my weight by the end of this month. Who's with me???? Come on gals and remember Christmas isn't the only time you can taste and eat food. All things in moderation this year.

Have a good POP day. Catch you later.

MS. Retire, good morning!

Congratulations on your weight loss, you are now skinnier than me:D I will be with you every step of the way, I want to lose that last five that was my goal for the year. Started out at 157, wanted to reach 135 but, those last 5 pounds:devil: do not want to come off.

I am totally on board for losing 3lbs by the start of the new challenge. My goal is 162 by Jan 1st.

Hello ladies .... well I was in the red team , always quiet . But like I am getting better whit my english ,I am trying to chat a little more.

So my last WI was 146.6 on friday but them I WI on monday and was 150.2 , I can't belive what a two days off can do ,I did well yesterday and today I am at 149.2 so going in the right dirrecion.

My goal for december was 143 , but like I am breastfeeding my 3 months baby is hard to lose the weight because you can not go to low whit your calories in order to keep your milk suplied . So I will just love to be on 145's by new years.

I am doing WW , and I was eating 31 points so this week I am trying 29 to see what happen.

See you around .......

Hello ladies. My goal by New Year's is to be in the 200s so I'm looking to lose 10lbs in the next two and a half weeks. I've been down and out with swine flu this past week, but I'm ready to get going again. Thanks for keeping me accountable!

Have you already posted your starting weight in the sign-up thread? The deadline for the signup thread weigh in is December 29th.

The challenge starts the week of January 5th, so your week 1's weigh in will be due the following Monday, January 11th, by 11:59pm EST.

Thanks Monte!! i appreciate that. will put it in my diary.

yeh i put in my starting weight for now, incase i forget to put it in there before the deadline , dont want to miss out on the challenge. but if i remember will edit it on the 28th december, so its more accurate. is that okay? i've put a reminder in my diary. but over xmas i might forget or not have access to the computer.

thanks again :)

You're welcome. I think it is a good idea to go ahead and post your weight in case you forget. I'm not sure when Angela (CapeBrentonChick) plans to start gathering the data, so when you edit your original post you might want to send her a pm, just in case she has already pulled in your info.

Hello
 

WE WON! THE RED TEAM WON! :woohoo:

OM Gosh I can't believe I took Biggest Loser! :woohoo: I couldn't have done it without the support of the Red Team! Antonia, KimL1214, Angela, Shan84 and Ms Perception :hug: thank you for your support and encouragement! And thanks to all the Blue Team members for thier well wishes.

Hello Purple Team!

Thanks Monte! i appreciate that :)

good idea about sending Angela a pm, I will do !!

thanks again :)

aww thanks Angela!! you're so awesome to go to all that trouble ! i appreciate it!!

WOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Igetfit, i just saw your current weight, omg that's AMAZING!! you have lost so much weight that is really incredible!!! Well done again !!

are we going to have a purple team challenge this week :)

ps btw, monte i liked you challenge you posted for the red team a couple of weeks ago, i too am big in calculating and stuff like that hehehe. i love number crunching hehe

Hey purple team. Well I'd loooove to be in the 230s by Jan 1, but I'm a pretty slow loser so my main goal is to get under 245 (my 2nd mini goal). I'm expecting to reach that this week. The following week I have a lot going on, in addition to Christmas, I have a friends bachelorette party and wedding and my sister's birthday. So I'll be quite happy to maintan or gain less than 1 pound that week!
Congrats to both teams' biggest losers and runner-ups!

Aclai-I, too, am looking to kinda hold on weight-wise right now. I have a lot on my plate right now and don't want to stress about anything for Christmas.

I debated not joining the challenge (this and the Spring one) since I'm near my goal (which changes as I go, I might add). I have since decided I have room to lose at least another 6-10 pounds after the new year. I hope Red will still have me (if that's where they place me) and take my smaller losses. I'm prepared to be strong over the 3 Christmases I have remaining and hold my weight steady (at least). I'm extremely pleased with how things have progressed so far this month. I've managed my way through 2 birthday gatherings and one weekend in my home town for family Christmas #1 with a loss to show for it. Life is good! Time to finish strong for 2009.

I want to be under 250 by new years. That is around 12 pounds...I am striving for it but will be happy if I can get real close given the time of year.

I am sorry! I just saw the new Purple team weigh in thread. I went ahead and posted weight. Hope that's ok. Will try to come later and post. Gotta get Christian ready for school!! :dance:

Gooooo Purple!!!!! :cheer: :cheer3:

Hugs! Selina :hug:

My thoughts on changing the weigh in day are this: for me, I forget to do things on the weekends. I'm not online much because we have too much going on, so it's possible I would be out fairly quickly because of this.

But, on second thought- if you do want to change it, I can just change my weigh ins to Friday, that way it meets the deadline. No harm no foul. Plus, I've been wanting to change my weigh ins to Friday anyway, because those darn weekends do me in, lol.

I like the idea of a Sunday weigh-in because it make the week all neat and tidy in my head (if that makes sense to anyone). But it doesn't really matter. I weigh in and post on Saturday anyhow.

Happy Wednesday Purple Team, hope everyone has a great day!

Well need to get ready for work-hope to see you later!

Ladies, don't forget about the Santa Says challenge. Lets get moving!
http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/bigg...challenge.html

Been shopping all day. Lots of walking and waiting in lines. Oh my, that's Christmas in the stores, hahaha.

Must go check out this new Santa challenge.

i spent some of my afternoon jumping on our new trampoline with DS....didn't wear my HRM though....but i got on it this afternoon after we got DD from school and wore my HRM then and jumped for 10 minutes - was a 164 cal burn ;) so i just used that number to help figure the 40 minutes i was on earlier with DS....so overall a great cal burn ;) now to make dinner and fluff the tree for decorating later ;)My parents are coming into town early next week, so we're excited to have them here for our Christmas celebrating :) and will have another christmas in Jan after the hubby gets home :) yippee!!! counting down till his homecoming ;)
i seem to be holding at between 147-150...so hoping i can get some of the belly flab gone before hubby gets home (have gained back the 20 lbs i lost before he left in Feb)....wanna look good for homecoming celebration :) lol

Be careful all you icy weather people!!

Morning my new Purple Team mates,
My goal is just to keep motivated. I found when I don't sign on, post weights, activities ect. I don't do anything! But, I would love to see onderland sometime in 2010. Don't know what the usual weigh in date was so I'm going to exclude my 2 cents from the poll ...for now.
Hope everyone has a great day!

wii weight this morning 232.4 (46-42-44)

We had rain yesterday and don't have any snow left.

I must confess I had a potato chip melt-down last night. Ate quite a few but not the whole bag. DH had bought 3 bags when I was gone and there was one left in the cupboard. We were at his mom's last night and I tasted some she had there and that just started me off when I got home. I got on my bike and did another hour of peddling trying to counteract the effects of the chips. What's with the chips anyway? They aren't that good and I could have a handful and be done with them but no, I had to tunnel through the bag....sigh....I had a little, itty bite of fruit cake after lunch today and I was totally satisfied with that. Wish I could do the same for chips. Oh well, a few years ago I'd have bought in about 30 bags to get me through the two weeks of Christmas. I've come a long way from that. I'm not buying any chips this Christmas. Anyone who wants them had better buy their own and keep them out of the cupboard! I jumped on the scales this morning and I'm up a pound but I don't know if that has anything to do with the chips. I'm using my scales now again and it may just be the difference from DIL's scales and mine. Should have weighed when I got home to make a real comparison. Anyhoo, enough of that subject...too late now anyway. :D

Mandy, so glad you'll have your parents with you over the holidays. Not as good as having your DH home but pretty close. Wow, I didn't know a trampoline burned so many calories. Wish I had one now, haha. I'd probably kill myself on a trampoline as I'm a #1 klutz (MIL always tells me I'm clumsy).

Angela, I've noticed over the past couple of years I've been on 3FC that members from Cape Breton have overly harsh winters. Not that we don't get our share on this side of the pond but Cape Breton seems to get more storms. Be careful girl, especially on the ice. Hope you have on your snow grips by now.

Have a good day everyone and take a few minutes for yourself during this busy time of the year.

Good morning purple people! It's a good morning here anyway. I've had my healthy breakfast and gotten my workouts in, so I can "play" on 3FC guilt-free for a bit. :D Today should be a nice day. I have some cleaning/organizing to do, but then I should have time to relax and maybe even read a bit before picking up the kids from school. We'll see how it goes...

Good afternoon ladies. Well, I had to weigh in early this week and it went really well. Kinda too well, like I'm scared it's all going to come back at any minute. The past few weeks I've done okay, but I haven't been doing great. My exercise is half assed, my eating could definitely be better, but the weight is just melting off! Not complaining, just nervous. Waiting for the other shoe to drop I guess. I lost 5 pounds in 5 days. It doesn't feel real.

ACK! No fair. Somebody bring me a wet noodle! :p I've lost 5lbs in the past 4 months. :mad: LOL. Really I'm very happy for you. :carrot:
