Way to go everyone for the great loss! Over 100 pounds is amazing! I'm staying on plan this week and doing everything I can to not binge! It's going to be tough but i NEED to stick to it! The last few weeks I do great all week till Friday and then something switches, I binge, then get mad at myself and get back on track. Without that binge I know I'll have much better weigh ins on sundays!

Hey Everybody!

It was GREAT reading everybody's posts this morning!

Congratulations to our team for winning week one and to our biggest losers: Erin, Shay, and SMSDreamer! Great job ladies!

Courtney, Peanutt, & Shay - thank you so much for responding to my questions. You guys rock.

Angie - BIG HUG! Way to stick with it!

I love hearing the stories behind everybody's names. The "mugsy" in my name is because when my husband was teaching me to shoot a gun, I picked it up very fast. He started calling me Bugsy - like Bugsy Malone. This was when ebay was first getting started and we tried to make our user ID bugsy, but it was taken, so we changed it to mugsy (because my first name is Mindy). The "gg" part of the story will have to wait for another day - it makes me blush.

I had a big ooops day yesterday - CELEBRATING! But I'm back on track today. This coming weekend is going to be hard. We have a big dinner to attend on Friday, my son's graduation and grad party on Saturday. Eegads!! This is going to take planning and willpower!

Happy Monday Ladies! I'm going to do my best to stay on plan this week. I've been maintaining for the last two months, so now it's time to get back on track and start losing again! So weekly goals, get to the gym at least twice! (hey it's a better then nothing!) and keep on track with a healthy diet!

What cool ways to get a screen name! I am loving reading all of the tales! :)

I just got back from the treadmill at work. I spent 30 minutes on there and walked 1.5 miles! :)

I hope you are all having a great day so far!

I got my screen name when I was younger, I used to always go on all these chat boards with random names, and one of my friends came up with MiZTaCCen, pretty much meaning mistaken and it's always stuck with me. Something I could never give up simply because it's different and I'm always getting misunderstood.

Hello everyone!

Ooh can I join your team as an unofficial member? I have been in the hospital for the last 2 months and missed the sign in. Arrgh! That's ok. I'm feeling much better and really could use the pick me up.

hope everyone is well. Happy Monday!

Anyone is welcome to join as unofficial members. The more the merrier!

I love reading all the tales about your usernames. I wish mine wasn't so generic. Haha. Shan is my nickname, short for Shannon, and then 84 the year I was born. haha. Wow, I need to work on my creativity.

Hope everyone had a great Monday. On to Tuesday here in SK. Taking a box to the post office today to ship to Denver. Countdown is on at 34 days until I am on my way to the states. So excited! The bf is now in Nepal hiking for the next 17 days. Then he will move to India before he comes to the states to join me for a 3 week vacation with my family. My mini goal this week is to stay on target with food and to up my exercise. I desperately need more cardio. And I do have the time.

Side note: My little Ladybird class (of 3 and 4 year olds) have their school assembly this coming Friday. I have been teaching them sign language for the past four months. I just know they are going to do an awesome job and look so cute doing it!

honey, wb as a "member" it might be unofficial but you're definately family!! YOU TOTALLY ROCKED the last red challenge. I never knew you were in the hospital and am so glad you are better now. So glad to have you around again. I am trying to get motivated again, last time was so much fun, for awhile, and then I just never got my head back into the game of it. I wish you all the success!!! I know you can do it! hugs, susan

My username is pretty lame- my first name, first letter of my last name, and my sons birthday. It's been my username for most things since I had my son 5.5 years ago. I need a new one to include my little girl now too!

Congrats, Red Team. Losing over 100 lbs is fantastic. I really appreciate the congrats from you also.

My screen name is a shortened version of a nickname I had growing up. I will never ever ever share the actual nickname. I use this username or some version of it on other forums too.

My week is quite busy as usual. I normally weigh in on Sundays but will weigh in on Friday because I am headed to Richmond this weekend with my Special Olympians. They are feeding us so I hope I have healthy options or just food I enjoy.

Hi all....

Well done .... it does feel good to be on the winning (losing) team!!!:carrot::carrot::carrot:

And well done to the biggest of our losers ;)

Hope we can keep it up ...

My user name is my initials and 3 is for my 3 girls :) .... hardly original ..

Shan .. I have a friend who taught 4 year olds in Korea for a few years ... she loved the kids .. but thought they put too much pressure on them in general at an early age ??

HMM3- Korea's overall education system is that way. Intense with a captial "I". However, I teach at an international school so my class is made up of foreign children whose father's companies come here to work on shipyard classes. Our school is not open to Korean students, only students who have at least one foreigner parent. I don't run my class like the Korean kids class though. :) We have loads of fun!

:cheer: WELCOME BACK!!!! :hug::hug::hug:

I hope you are feeling better now. I had no idea you've been in the hospital! I'm so glad to see you back here though!



GOOD MORNING RED TEAM!!!!

I did something that (for me) is very unusual. I brought with me the last piece of Easter candy to work. It was a Cadbury Creme Egg...my favorite Easter candy. But I decided that I should toss it instead of eat it and try to work it off. So...it's sitting in the trash can now. I am eating strawberries and a banana instead of that for breakfast. Throwing out candy and favoring fruit instead? Yep...that's different for me! But it's a step in the right direction.

I'll be hopping on my regular treadmill at 11:30AM when I go on my lunch break even though I am in a skirt again today. LOL! :woops: Time to work that butt-er off!!!!

I hope you all have a great day! :)

CourtenyDaisy Good job throwing out the candy I don't know if I would do the same that takes some serious will power.

I have been doing really good with my food choices lately but I am slacking on my exercise so I really have to work on that.
