OK, someone start a bodybugg rental business.

What is a bodybugg?

I can't wait for it to be over either. I'm seriously thinking about dropping from the weighins. I probably won't though, but a girl can dream can't she?

I am SO VERY, VERY glad to hear that you are coming to accept your body. Work on the maintaining for a while and see what happens in a few months. Without stressing about losing you might be pleasantly surprised what happens.

Vix--- I completely understand about the layoff. DH was off for 8 months last year. I was a mess.

I am ready to hide my scale as well. I'm trying to work up the nerve to just go to once a week weighing for the remainder of the challenge. Obviously weighing daily isn't working for me.

The Wii is the one game console I want. Like others though, no money for it now.

You buy them, we'll rent them.

ok this morning i am offically pissed.. i have been good all god damn week and for what... to gain 5 ****ing pounds.. OMG i could scream.. fine i had 2 weeks without a decent workout. i was still doing aerobics and the trampoline though and walking i did about 900 minutes of exercise last week . i stuck to my calories.. why the **** am i now 272 again.. is this the stupid number my body wants to be.??? i just dont know.. why i bother.. I track my food i exercise and for what to gain weight.. what the **** is wrong with my stupid body.. arrghh .. i tell you what this better be some freak water weight or something or im just gonna quit... why bother if im gonna gain and loose the same 5 pounds.. i have done this since febuary.. i have dropped my cals i do heaps of exercise and i drop to 267 for a week then go back up to the same ****ed up weight.. i am so angry right now..

I had to look up bodybugg too - it's a tool that you wear - I think like a wristwatch that you set up to read the calories you take in and the calories that you burn with another online component to help get you losing weight. It is a bit pricey.

also, amouse I know! I am losing/gaining the same 3 or at least what seems like it - so I can only say stick with it!

amouse: I do have something odd to ask you on a completely different subject, I saw the Australian National women's basketball team play and my friends and I are wondering about their uniforms. Could you tell me how they get their uniforms on? They are a dynamic team.

HI All, I read all the posts, and just want to say that the BF and I are doing better today. Maybe he is doing a little better than me, he has a better attitude. I am still just pissed and angry and sad.

Sorry to be a drain, not going to do personals now, but know I read everything that you have said and appretiate it much.

Good job keeping up the chat today ladies! =)

Oh man, Im so sorry. Gaining weight after having a bad week is one thing, but when you are totally OP and doing everything you can and still gain weight...that is FRUSTRATING. Im sorry hun. :hugs:

Hello Blue Team:

I am writing from the Mill Casino in Coos Bay, Oregon, they have free wifi. DH and I are here for a couple of days for our anniversary. We just had a buffet meal, which included a little off plan food, but I came right back to the room and did my WATP 4 mile express. For a person who didn't exercise before, I'm finding I really don't like to miss it now. Something LS says on the tape that seems to be sticking in my head lately is that fat is stored calories, calories are stored energy so you can't get rid of the fat without burning up energy. Since I've been exercising, weight loss has been more even. I feel better and I can tell I've lost inches. (Next measure in less than a week). Well that's my health and social update, except the garden is doing well as is the landscaping in the main yard, nursing work is enjoyable and I've started building my driftwood fence.

Amy - so sorry about your weight fluctuations - though you may not be eating enough. I'm doing the small meals (300 calories - high protein) 5 times a day, which usually goes over 1500 up to 1700 sometimes, but I'm losing every week. Don't starve yourself, like the title of the book I'm basing this on, do this: Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (they like protein).

Vix - What can anyone say? I know it's cliche, but so true . . . When one door closes, another opens. Be patient, have faith.

Anna - you're so fortunate to be at goal!!! I know it didn't come easy. You and Jo give me inspiration all the time. Thanks for that.

Dee - glad to see you back

Rhonda - I too will miss the challenge, it has helped me so much. But I am stronger in my determination now so I can manage on my own, just don't want to. Guess I'll try to find another challenge, you?

Angie - ditto on the new avi - you are looking cute and fresh.

Well, since I blew the money I had set out for gambling this day, I guess I'll cuddle with hubby and watch some B movie, or . . . something.

Dora congratulations on your anniversary what a great way to sepnd it i bet its alovely place your staying at too


Linda i have no idea about the womens basket ball i dfont follow it.. i dont like any competitve sports watching them anyway.. rather be playing them then watching.. except little kiddis soccer with my son in the team then i love watching lol



im done im over this.. im gonna give up ....



ha.. i think not.. lol .. i am calm rational and have my head screwed back on once more after throwing a huge hissy fit ripping my head off and spitting down my own neck.. lol yeah i was really pissed .. but im done..

So i decided some of this weight has too be poop and you know what i was right.. today so far i have stuck to just fruit and veg.. and it did the trick.. i have pooped more today then i have the rest of the whole week .. and im now 270.. i will see tommorow how much i actually weigh since that was just after i had lunch.. so not overly accurate..

part of the weight has to be fluid.. from my workout yesterday .. and they other part i suppose is a bit of muscle and a bit of fat.. lol grrr.. i will find out becuase im gonna take my measurements in the am and find out once and for all.. muscle or fat.. lol..

ok i just did my measurements all are the same as last week except my legs which are 2 cm smaller

Dora -- that sounds like such a nice anniversary and I love hearing how exercise now just "fits" right into your life. Well done, you!

Hi everyone, I only have a second--too many meetings today!

BUT, wanted to share that I am down 1lb again! YIPPEE!!! It's slow, but it's coming off!!!!

How is everyone doing?

Not much going on at my end. I'm just glad it's Friday. I've been OP and working out although not as much as I'd like to. We got back from our mini vacation last weekend and have been struggling to get back in our routine prior to our vacation. Of course I had some ankle injury as well which did not help. Now I'm slowly getting back on the workout wagon and by next week I should be fully recovered from whatever is making me slow down.

Add me to the list of Wii Fit. We want to buy it but unfortunately it's proving to be a difficult product to find at the moment.

Dora, congrats on your anniversary

Vix, I really hope things workout for you guys. Our wishes are with you. I'm sure he'll find a great job soon.

Amy, girl I'm glad you're not giving up. I know it's frustrating and annoying as **** but the key is to keep at it

Angie, cute picture

Anna, it's really nice that you're happy with your body right now. I have a long way to get there. I'm sure it's an amazing feeling.

Tawnya, I remember reading about the bodybugg on one of the threads on 3FC and this person loved it. She said it was one of the best purchases she'd made. I looked online and it was just too pricy for me at the moment. I'm happy with my HRM for now. I know bodybugg is different. I guess it comes down to whatever works for you & how much money you want to spend

Mj, woohoo!!! That's a lb gone forever

Guess who ran 3.2 miles today? ME! I have been killing myself trying to get to three the past 10 days. 2.3, 2.7. 2.0....all over the 2s, but I just could not get to three.

BUT TODAY I DID!!!!

Have lots of inspiration to share, but the kids and I are going to see the Alvin and the Chipmunks at the IMAX for a buck--what a bargain!

You are AWESOME! Way to go!!


OK .... How do I use a freebie? I have never used one yet. Is it too late? My weigh in was this morning. I am up .2 of a pound. Not alot...but I dont want to bring my blue team down any. So, what do I do?

On your weigh in post where you would have put your weight just write that you would like to use the freebie. Chelle will take care of the rest.
