  • Good luck to everyone this week! I will be without internet on Tuesday/Wednesday this week because I will be flying home to the states. Then I will be on vacation July 1st-7th. I will find some kind of internet wifi so I can keep posting and I will be able to calculate the weigh in for next week.

    Good luck ladies! Let's make this a good week!
  • Good Morning

    Shan, Have a safe flight and fantastic time in the states

    Congrats to aclai for being the biggest loser!!!

    Wow, i can't believe i made it through the weekend without any cheats/slips. I plan on eating a little something on Wednesday for dinner, dh is taking me to see the new twilight movie(so excited) so if i can just make it to then...hopefully with a loss for the week.

    Hello to everyone! Have a nice day!!
  • Way to Go aclai!

    Tonight I am going to see Sting at Chastain Amphitheater and hubby and I are invited for an Italian dinner with friends before the concert. This is going to be tough. Of course I want to lose weight but homemade Italian food, I don't think I want to let that opportunity pass me by either. I've got an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other.

    misspriss-Have a fun night out at the Twilight movie with your husband. Très romantique!
  • Thanks ladies. It was really nice to have a good loss this week since I didn't do too well between challenges and at the start of this one. I had a job interview today. It seemed to go pretty well and I get good vibes from the company, so I hope I get it!

    Terapet- Have fun at the concert! Chastain is such an awesome summer venue. I say use portion control and enjoy a nice dinner with your friends.

    Shan- Enjoy your trip home!
  • Good job Aclai!

    Hope everyone had a great weekend.

    Tweaked- I agree with Aclai, portion control is key, don't deny yourself!

    Shan-safe travels & have FUN!

    Gotta run & pack for camping
  • Well, I missed the weigh in deadline, but I was planning on taking a freebie anyway, so I didn't miss out too much. Started back full force yesterday, and am heading out the door to the gym right now. Things will look better next week!!
  • How do I sign up for the challenge is it too late?
  • Finishline- It is too late to be an official member of this challenge as we are already 5 weeks in. Look for the next challenge sign up to be posted towards the end of our current challenge (sometime in August).

    Thanks ladies. I will travel safely. The bf and I are leaving in 6hours to head to the capital before I fly out tomorrow. Take care ladies!
  • Sting was awesome! The Italian dinner was great and turned out to be relatively low calorie. My friend should open a restaurant. I consumed more alcohol calories than I planned so I will really have to work on that.

    I need to get packed for the trip today. Tomorrow this time I will be somewhere on the interstate in Tennessee. I hope to get to the Y tonight and then probably will not have anymore formal exercise for a week. My only plan for the week is to journal the calories and keep my eye on the prize. I really don't want to gain weight while on vacation. It is so difficult to take off.
  • Im off to the lake again today! Im hoping for a job sometime this week... and tonight at midnight im going to see the new twilight movie YAY!!
  • Hi Red Team,
    I just wanted to come over and say hello while Shan is away from the internet. It sounds like you have been busy and doing so very fun activities. Good job on staying motivated while out and about.
    Keep up the great work you guys have had a couple of really good weeks.

    Shan84 - I hope you have a safe trip home
  • Hi red team.

    Shan-I hope your flight went okay, WELCOME back to the USA!

    Aclai--Congrats on being our biggest loser last week.

    Monte-

    Terapet-Glad you had a good time at the concert. I LOVE Italian food too
    Have a good time on vacation, they are always hard for keeping on track but you have come this far you can do it!

    2phatinvictoria-good luck on your job and have fun at the movie tonight.
    The lake again? LOL I live in the land of 10,000 lakes so you would think I would be on one also. Do you live on the lake?

    CanadaMel- Have a good time camping.

    MissPriss- Way to go on no cheating through the weekend and have a good time at the movie.


    And for me- yesterday, I was on track for food but not exercise, I was up at 3:00 AM helping my husband get gone for his 2&1/2 hour ride back to work for the week... I wouldn't have to get up but he has told me that he likes that I do ,
    and well you know....I love him so I do...
    I was so wore out after working all day yesterday I didn't get any exercise in...

    Today I'm on plan, it was a short day for work. The weather is good for walking so me and the dog are going for a good hike around the town. ROFLAO- I just mentioned a walk to the dog and he's going CRAZY! He is good for me Gotta go . Talk at you all later.

    Keep on giong! GO RED!!!!
