Welcom Sugar!!!

Lori---Your Welcome!!! AND LOOK AT YOUR HOT SELF IN THE NEW AVATAR!! YOU GO GIRL!!

Shan---HOLY COW 100 LBS!!! THAT IS FANTASTIC!!! Will they even recognize yoU!?!?!?! Do they know you have been working so hard to lose it? Or will it be a total surprise!! That's just awesome!!!!

KDM- They know I have been working hard to lose it. I sent my mother a picture of me at 65 or 75 lbs down and she said she probably would not recognize me when I get off the plane. So I stopped sending her pictures that way the additional change will be a suprise. I'm really excited about visiting home for a few months but really nervous because it will test everything that I have changed about my life here in South Korea. In South Korea you have limited access to bad foods so its easy to make good choices, and personal trainers and gyms are way cheaper here than in the US. So I'm just hoping and praying that I can make it through the 2 months well. I want to stay on plan with my calorie counting and my exercise and even hope for a 25lbs loss while I'm home for those two months. So we will see very soon how it goes.

That's another reason I am so excited to be leading the red team for the biggest loser challenge because I will be leading the team during my time at home so it will help keep me on track as well.

Well I'm finally down to 107.1, lost a half a pound. I had 1100 cal. today. My husband and i are trying to do more things together, we are going to the buffet on Monday for lunch. I really need to lose more weight by then so I don't freak out when I step on the scale the next morning. lol

I'm in! My goals:
1) 10 pounds
2) eat more veggies
3) activities three times per week (swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, walking, etc)

233/210/140

Hey Ya"ll!!!
I'm pretty (brace yourselves) EXCIIIIIIIIITED!!! I put on my TSPs this morning and they are looking better and it hasn't been two weeks yet!! I know by the 16th they will be looking good on my dangerous curves. I bought a couple of outfits to show off at work!!! I can't wait until they see me.

We went to the mall and walked for about two hours. I was really tired. I don't think I had enough to eat and didn't get all my water in. I'm adding that to my goals for this challenge. I will drink two liters of water a day even on the weekends. I'm still dealing with TOM and having unbelievable cravings (salty stuff, sweet stuff, just junk). I've been winning so far but that's thanks to my hubby. He says he won't let me do any damage because I've been doing so well. He's so sweet. This is one of the reason's I love him.
Lori - LOVE LOVE LOVE the new avatar. You are working it girlie!!
KDM - You are loving that 30ds and I told you it would get you some results. I've been trying to talk my husband into the Insanity videos. Here's to hoping.:crossed: You know what I just thought about...I'm going to do 30DS everyday and see how "shredded" I'm gonna be at the end. I like it.:D
Shan - WOW 100lbs. That is so AWESOME!!! :high: Was it all calorie counting?
Fruitlady - I know last time you went to the buffet you got in trouble are you sure that's a good stop for you and hubby. How bout bowling, shopping or something like that? :dunno:

WE are going to have fun this challenge. 31 days of hard core pushing to our goals and doing all we can do to make it happen. :cheer2::cheer3::cheer2::cheer3: Let's do it!!

For all the newbies, I'm usually pretty hyped because this web site has been so instrumental in helping me get as far as I have and I want to continue to inspire like I've been inspired.

Ok... So got on the scale to weigh in yesterday and I was down 2 lbs!:carrot: After not having a loss the week before I was so excited. Puts me at 203 so by goals

1.) lose 5lbs which would put me in ONDERLAND! and I would meet that goal over a month early.
2.) work out atleast 5 days a week.

Also just wanted to say thanks to everyone that is so welcoming to the newbies:D

beachlover~WOWZA~SO CLOSE TO ONEDERLAND! & Congrads on that 2 pounds lost! So Proud of u!

KDM: thanks and :congrat: for your arbor day goal.

Lori: I can totally understand your situation with your mother. I will travel to my country in June and I will see her after almost 10 years but I know that she will talk about how fat I am and how she can't accept fat people. I think that the pressure for the travel may be slowing down my progress. :hug:

Beachlover: :congrat:

Is it too late to join? Cause I am totally psyched!:carrot:
Its funny because this morning after I weighed my self I set a goal to be in the 180s by June. I have just under 9 lbs to go. My other goal is to exercise more, aiming for 3x a week.

Thanks guys!

Shan- That is so exciting about your mom. I haven't seen mine since I started in Jan until the beach in July and she knows I am losing but hasn't seen any pics. Apparently though my sister (who lives with me) told her how good I am doing. I am excited to surprise her and the rest of the family!

I'm not going to set a goal weight for memorial day, but my goal is to do 30DS everyday, at least until I'm used to it, and as I get used to it, tack on some more exercise each day to that. I'm going to keep track of what I'm eating, and not allow myself to be tempted by the bad foods I used to enjoy. (Except for the one night a week that my boyfriend takes me out to dinner.) Even then I'll still eat sensibly.

I came to say HAPPY SUNDAY to all!!!

Tink2lose: :welcome: never is too late!

Lostintaticx: I should copy some of your goals in order to achieve my goal weight for this month :goodluck:

What does DS stand for when someone says "do 30DS everyday?" Sorry for the silly question, but I don't know all the lingo here yet.

TXMary2: 30 DS I think that is 30 day shred a Jillian Michaels workout DVD.
