Blue Team WOSC Week 10 Chat
 

Congratulations to our biggest loser this week..dayoneagain! and the runners-up Mercy, IconisedGhost and Gracie. Well done.

Got in a walk today. Hurray. I'm on the trot again.

I'm here. Hugssss!! Just been working our butts off, well me and our friend we hired, pruning everything in our back yard and raking behind everything for two days straight, put out boxes of stuff for trash as well as 18 bags of dead grass, leaves, vines, limbs, etc, and ate only once a day! LOL. Didn't drink alot of water tho, not alot of anything, was too bzy so that may make it where I don't lose as much as I was hoping. But I better have lost some. One of the days I went out to rake at 11am and didn't look at a clock til 430. LOL. Then went back out for two more hours to rake. It better help me lose!! Also did get to do 30 mins on tmill two days ago too. :strong:

Congrats to Dayone!!! Wow!!! And Mercy and IconisedGhost and Gracie!!! :carrot: :broc: :cb: Way to goooooooooo!!!!!! :dancer:

I have tons of paperwork to do since worked outside this wkend. So better get to it!!! Still haven't heard about our boys. Keep us in your prayers!!! :angel:

Bye for now,
Selina :hug:

Good morning ladies!

Congrats to our biggest losers this week and to all who lost!

I'll be back later today! It's spring break for my oldest son but youngest ds still has preschool this week, so I'm going to drop him off and spend some alone time with older ds. He's thrilled.

Congratulations to Dayoneagain for an awesome weight loss!

To us who have lost:carrot: and to those who didn't, today is another day.

@ Retire, I'm catching up to you and with the extra 2 weeks we now have, I just might:D

just checking in...you shouldn't see much of me until after Thursday, I have a Greek midterm to study for. Gaaah!

YAY!!!! Congrats Dayoneagain!! And Mercy - you rock girl!!!! Iconized ghost and Gracie - WAHOO!

Great job ladies!!!

Woo! Finally a little success :D Congrats to everyone for their losses and staying committed to our team. This group is the best support for me - I really enjoy checking in with you girlies!

Feeling good and hoping to get another few pounds off this week, although I am SERIOUSLY STRESSED with college work at the moment :dizzy:

Yes!

ACK!!! Good luck! I bet you'll do awesome!

A LITTLE success???? You rocked it girl!!!!

Congrats to our biggest losers this week!

My scale is back to cooperating and giving me numbers I like as of this morning! I'm not sure what happened last week as I was showing a 5-6 pound GAIN for most of the week and TOM is no where in sight. I knew right along that it was not possibly anything other than water weight (I didn't eat 5 pounds worth of extra calories), but it was so frustrating. I did, however, lose 1 in. off my waist, .5 in. off my hips, so something mysterious happened while I was water logged. Anyway, that's why I had to use a freebie! I'm hoping that means this week will be a good one!

Congratulations losers!!!

Sorry I've been a little absent, had a dream last night Seth was alive again, just to have him disappear again. This is so hard. I know God has a master plan, but I just miss him, don't want to let him go.

Weight is pretty static, body likely trying to conserve. Thanks for letting me vent. Keep up the good work.

Dora

I think the scale is finally moving in the right direction...it's amazing how eating more food does that! Hope all the blue team has a wonderful Tuesday...the sun is actually shining here!

Good morning beautiful ladies!!!

Just a Hi Hello and hope everyone has a great day!

Allergies are getting the best of me, so my workout was shorter yesterday. I only ran 1 mile and then did some weights/ ab stuff. I forgot my water too, I can't run with out taking a sip of water now and then to wet my throat. SO it was an all around not the best workout I've had. But today is a new day and it's going to be warmer outside, so I think I will try running outside again.

Good luck on your test:)

Thanks Chica:hug::hug:

Not a little a LOT! Congratulations!:carrot:

Ars, not eating enough is why I had stalled in my weightloss. I now have one day of eating what I want and bingo, the weight is starting to come off again.

Huggs to you:hug::hug: Dreams are a way of healing and I'm sure it will happen again, but you are right about the master plan. Just go with it.

Yep, eating more sometimes helps!

Just popping in quickly to say hi! My inlaws are taking the kids for the night, so DH and I are going on a date. :D We are going out for dinner, then will probably come home and finish prepping our basement for drywall. YIPEE! HA!

Everyone has been quiet!

Echo....where are you? Haven't seen you around in while!

Weigh day seems to be fast approaching and I'm looking forward to it! I am still POP food-wise and feeling good. Very stressed up about workload at college and upcoming job interviews, but I think it's positive stress? I have got absolutely no exercise in at all for almost 2 weeks now as I don't feel I can plausibly concentrate on my work, healthy eating AND exercise. Once this week is out of the way I plan to get back to the gym, especially as I am supposed to be running a 5km fun-run on Sunday 21st!!

Red Team totally kicked our butts last week losing more than double the percentage of weight than our team AND it's their third week in a row, so we really need to stick it to them on Sunday!! Forgive my competitive streak :D

Have a great night with the hubby, babygrant!xx

Congratulations to our biggest loser this week..dayoneagain! and to the runners-up Mercy03, IconisedGhost and Gracie. Great job ladies!!!!:carrot::carrot:

Soon2BeFitChick - that's a lot of leaves do you have a ranch or just a huge lot with lots of trees leaving presents? I'm sure you'll notice that in your next weigh in.

babygrant - I hope you had a nice time with your oldest, have fun on your date and wow drywall....that sounds exciting..lol

weebleswobble - good luck on your midterm

dayoneagain - apparently stress agrees with you or at least with the scale.

CapeBretonChick - good luck on day 2

ars - the inches loss is the most important loss so make sure and claim every inch - you've earned it.

doragone - hang in there:hug:

mageorge - I love to see the sun. Good for you for losing now that youve up'd your calories.

Nella - good luck with your allergies I hope they clear up soon

Mercy03 - :wave:

Hello to anyone I may have missed.

I know that I haven't been on as much as normal. I am in a bit of a funk and can't seem to break free of it.
I put on 3lbs in one day (saturday lots of yummy food) and I am now doing double workouts and I have only dropped .2 of the 3 I gained. So you see you can put on 5lbs in a day/weekend at least I can. I was with 3 other people ate less then them I put on 3, my mom only 2 and my one friend put on no extra weight. I can look at food and instantly gain.
That's not why I am in a funk though. I know I would put on a little. The funk story is boring so I will spare you all the details.

I hope you all have a great night.

Hey Bigmid, I know it's a cliche to say that we all have ups and downs, but we do.

Just know that you have the power to change your life at will and if you chose, tomorrow is a new day and we are here for you:hug::hug:

Had a good date night with DH. Ate too much food and payed for it afterwards with a stomach ache. :( But it was so nice outside that DH and I went for a walk for an hour and a half.

It's only 9:36 and I have another few hours before I'm to pick up the kids and I miss them like crazy. :(

I have my big test tomorrow and I'm so nervous I can't eat. I think I'm going to go in a little bit and get something from subway. I hope they still have chili.

I've got to "keep my strength up!" Tomorrow I'll get a breakfast sandwich and a skinny latte from Starbucks before the test. :)

I can't wait until this test is over, it may be my last test of grad school. After this is over, nothing but papers (I like papers!).

Good luck weeble! We'll all be thinking of you and sending you good vibes!xx

I keep wanting to snack in the evenings, but thankfully the thought of weigh day is keeping me from having anything. Gonna break out the sugar free jello in a minute for The Biggest Loser. :D

Ugh, I am fighting the cravings big time today. I could eat and eat and eat, pretty much anything. But I won't.

Well Well, look who's back:D

I hope you are feeling better Chica:hug::hug:, miss your postings.:) As for the driving lessons,good luck, you will have your drivers license soon and all of Europe will be just a drive away/

Hello everyone. Glad to see our "missing" team members again. I know it takes some effort to post everyday and some days I miss, too. I'm doing well this week and working back into walking every day.

Hope everyone is doing well today.

awwwww thanks so much Mercy, you are such a sweetheart!!!!!!! :hug:
thanks for the well wishes and encouragement!

Thank you Isabella, and you are so right :) good on ya on the walking :running:

Awww, what about a big glass of water or a cup of tea or some sugar free jello?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm A little quiet here today! So, I hope you all have a good and productive day and keep up the good work.:)

I am so stressed that I have a permanent headache and all my muscles are sore from being tense for the last two days. Hoping this will all pass along with my deadlines on Monday. Still POP which is good, and looking forward to my weigh day tomorrow. It seems to have come around very fast! I really hope I'm out of these bloody 190s!!!!

Just wanted to come and say a quick hello. The internet is slow and I won't type to much I don't want to lose it all.

Mercy03 - Thanks, I will come back around eventually
Echo - Hello and welcome back glad the lesson are going good
babygrant- glad you had a nice dinner out and a very long walk
weebleswobble - how did the test go
ars - lately I just want to eat too and I'm not even hungry- just bored and angry. Hope it passed for you soon
dayoneagain - enjoy the jello and the show, hope the stress goes away soon and if you want out of the 190's you could just give them to me. That number just won't come
retirdone - glad your walking again

Hope you all have a great day

It's a rainy day here so I've plunked my butt in front of the sewing machine and have been hemming pants, making snack bags, and was trying to finish up the princess dress for my neice until the sewing machine crapped out on me. Grrrr. I love to sew, but hate to tinker around with the stupid thing trying to get the stitches right.

I haven't ate much today...but haven't done much either. If it stops raining I'd really like to go out for a walk. If not, maybe I"ll just stick the boys in their rubber boots and go out anyways! :p

Hi everybody, the test went OK. I have a really good GPA (3.8) but I said to my friend going in that if I got a C on the test I would be happy, she felt the same way (it is a HARD test and a HARD class and a HARD professor but my favorite one). Our teacher generally grades on a bit of a curve, so I figured I would at least get a C on my own. We got done, and we were kinda chatting afterward. Everyone kinda gave a sigh of relief. I had said the class before that I had cried a bit in frustration while studying, so I said, "Well, at least nobody cried." And then my friend busted into tears. She thinks she failed.

I felt really bad, both because I said "at least nobody cried" and because I'll probably get better than a C and she probably will get a D-, and I'll have to tell her what I got (we have a full disclosure thing going on)

Just checking in! It was a lovely day out today...and I had to work through all of it! I even had a meeting during lunch hour. I keep a folding chair in my car trunk for days like this, and if it weren't for that meeting I could have sat in the sun for an hour and relaxed or taken a nice walk. Oh well, another day.

My terrible cravings are better today, thank goodness! I hope everyone is doing well! Have a nice night!

I'm here! I'm OP. I miss you guys... :( I have been staying very busy. No, no ranch here. Just 9000 sq ft of yard with a few trees but raking it all pulls up dead grass too so half of it was that! and limbs from the crape myrtles, sp?? Anyhoo, thanks weebles for the info on my maters, they are growing bigger! I either put my little fan on them some or even blow on them when I walk by them, lol. Or open the window when it's nice. Hasn't been real sunny or warm so hate to put them outside yet. So far I haven't lost any weight this week but figuring I may have put on a little muscle? :D

I am going now to watch Survivor. I love Russell and Rob etc and gotta root for them!! Imma walk on the treadmill, been busy all day so it's almost 11pm and mayyyyybe now I can exercise! LOL! :woops:

Been at baseball for 3 hours. If I didn't wanna watch my kids play I'd go walking the whole time but I can't! I must see them! I see people walking but I can't miss my babies playing!! :bb:

Ok, take care, big hugssss!! :df:
Selina :hug:

I hate sugarfree jello, but there are just some nights where the constant niggling for food just won't go away. My logic is that if I tell my brain 'it's jello or nothing' then it'll either shut up or put up with having something I find average. I think this makes me sound like a crazy person...


I love this :D



weeble - Way to go on doing good on your test! It's a shame your friend found it so hard, but I guess someone has to be on the lower end of the curve... Try not to feel bad for saying what you said. After one of my exams in January I came out and said to my friend (who's birthday it was) "Happy birthday! I got you a nice easy exam! How did you find it?" and she burst into tears on me.... awkward. She is always getting higher marks than me (and actually got a distinction on this exam in the end anyway) so I just assumed she'd be coming out happy. Whoops.


ars - Hope the cravings stay at bay! My head won't shut up this week and just wants sugar, which is starting to get very hard to ignore...


Soon2B - Missed you! Getting exercise in at 11pm is some serious dedication!

Hope everyone is feeling great!xx


I weighed in at 188 this morning, woo! Down 3.5 lbs this week! It has been so tough to stay POP through all the stress of work, essays, interviews and family gatherings but I have somehow survived it all. More stressful situations next week, so I hope I can keep this momentum up! :jig:

Angela, I bet you lose later. When I did those two solid days outside raking I stayed up 3 lbs for a week! Now I'm down again and down .5 lbs for this week so far. Finally. So don't worry!! You are doing great!! :cp:

Thanks, Dayone. You are inspiring me!! I can't believe you are down 3.5!! OMG!! I would love that!! I just did 15 mins on treadmill and did arm and leg exercises bc was watching Survivor with dh this morning. If I'm held captive by tv then I'm SURE using that time to exercise!! I feel good tho! So yay!! :strong:

Did get to do some last night too while watching American Idol. Yay, my faves are still there!! :dancer:

We heard some good news on our boys. Our worker talked with a supervisor and said they don't see why we can't get them asap!!! Everything seems to be in order and just waiting to talk to another higher up today. We are going to Fiesta TX Six Flags in San Antonio with the kids and Seaworld this next week so hopinggggg they can go with us!!! (Still leary because they've said this before but we can always hope!!) :bb:

Ok, gotta go! Lots to do, hugssss!!

Selina :hug:

Dayone--too funny about the birthday test. People are funny and it's so hard to read them...thanks for thinking of that experience for me. She and I had a talk later on and she assured me that I couldn't possibly have known, she was trying to hide it...and she had had another midterm the night before and was just completely strung-out from taking two tests. I just told her I felt so bad for "setting her up"....poor sweetie.

AF is here.....4 days late and worse than ever. :devil: Haven't ate much today because I'm too nauseated and my exercise today is walking from the couch to the washroom. Laying on the couch with a hot water bottle. :(
