Welcome back

Congrats Pammy!! I love that you said you're "normal" again.

I joined the biggest loser challenge, which I think is the kick in the pants I need. I'm a team sport kinda person, and without the pressure of a team depending on me, I am the master of rationalizing little snacks here and little snacks there. It just can't happen anymore. How am I ever going to reach my goal if I don't change?

I can't do the BL challenge, I'm just too...I'm a team player, but I'd just feel so pressured that I couldn't let anyone down...I'm psycho sometimes.

Back down to 188.2. My body likes to friggin yo-yo. TOM is almost gone, today's the last day, and I've been exercising and staying at 1400 calories, so hopefully tomorrow I can see 187 (maybe, maybe ).

This treadmill is really helping me. Last night I wanted to watch TV, so I just walked while I watched TV - I watched some of Barry's speech, then flipped to MTV and then I caught up on my magazine reading. I also got up this morning and did C25K W1, D2 - after next week I won't have class, so my schedule can be fairly normal for a few weeks, and I'm hoping to really get into the hard part of that program before Christmas.

Oh, did you ladies all leave me for the BL challenges

I'm down to 187.2 I think it was a combination of TOM weight and actually starting to exercise. I forgot to eat breakfast yesterday (idiot) but I did make up for the calories before bed, I was just so darn starving.

Yay Stella! I didn't leave! Well, I am in that challenge, I just don't usually chat in this thread hehehe :3

I managed to NOT gain weight during Thanksgiving....YAY! I weighed last night.

Cakebatter - yay for no weight gain!!!

I'm still here also.
I saw that a lot of people were joining the BL challenge, but I think this challenge is working well for me so I don't want to mess it up.
I weighed this morning and it was a shocker number, so I don't want to post it unless it happens again tomorrow. I'm running today after work and I'm really excited!! I find it amazing that I love it, when I used to despise it. haha
How is everyone's day so far today? Feeling good?

Yay Cake!

I'm doing okay. No exercise this morning, but my knees and shins are bothering me, so I might just do some crunches and stretches later tonight.

My ex roomie is coming over for dinner tonight, and I've mapped out my calories and I can have steak, veggies AND a glass of wine. So excited

I like wine way too much.

I'm still here as well, so no worries Stella
I've never watched BL so I don't really know how it works exactly, but I do know that I don't lose as fast as a lot of other ladies here so don't want to take the risk of becoming stressed and dieting unhealthily just not to let others down. My plan is to finish this challenge, and then move on to a Valentine's challenge, then Easter and so forth.

Star - I don't do yoga anymore, but I might start doing it on the Wii Fit. Tennis killed my knees and my ankles, but I think it was just me walking at night, then running the next morning that made them a little sore. They feel okay now, but I don't want to push myself.

Sana - that was exactly my thought on that. I've seen a few episodes of the BL (not a fan) but besides the point, I didn't want to let the team down.

hey stargzr- i had a similar experience this morning. i had to rub my eyes and look at the scale again (seriously!) because i was so confused. i will see if it maintains for tomorrow... then i'll post. i was confused because i've been eating like CRAP at work (i had no time to eat last night and ended up eating chocolate for dinner... my stomach was so angry at me) and i didn't go to the gym tuesday or wednesday. sigh. i am off to the gym now though so no more slacking off!

I'm still here too!! I'm hoping this will be a better week for me, I have been working out and drinking tooons of water!! Good luck to you ladies this week!!

stargzr - I get the fit channel too and I just love it!!
