I well and truly fell off the wagon. Back up to 196 and out of the BL Challenge - what an idiot.

Starting again....dayoneagain. SIGH!

Sorry to be a disappointment girlies - I'm sure I'll crack this thing one day!!

Hi, I'm 197.0 today! So I hope to have a nice loss this week, woohoo!! Haven't had much appetite lately. Guess that's good! LOL.

Hope things are good with you all. I am good. Lonely tho. Dh has been working alot. This weekend I'm working with my son on his science fair project. He is in first grade and we are partners! Too fun! He is doing a color changing experiment. We practiced and it worked so just have to work on his display board, etc.

And also this weekend Imma work in my front flower beds. Have to go buy tons of mulch and do weeding and all that. Two plants I had there froze because I didn't cover them this winter so sad about that. One my MIL gave me and one my Dh gave me for our anniversary. So sure hate that. But my MIL's is trying to come back and so going to remove rest that's dead and gonna watch dh's to see if it might come back. It has before.

Ok hugs!
Selina

Hey girlies! I hope you all are hanging in there during this final week!

I am a bit bummed right now. I was supposed to go see this band tonight that one of my co-worker's husband plays in (their first performance in like 30 years), but everyone from work who was supposed to go has baled. I'm rubbish in situations where I don't know anyone, so I'm staying home. Times like this make me wish I was more outgoing! My confidence just isn't there yet.

I am OP otherwise. Not looking like I'll have much of a loss this final week though...when I checked the scale yesterday, I'm only down .4 for the week. A loss is a loss, so I'll take it and hope for a bigger loss by Sunday!

Good morning everyone

I am working all weekend, hope it helps with my weight loss, I have stalled again, I think I need to start exercising everyday again.

I can't wait for the summer challenge to start, new challenge, new motivation

[Bigmid]

Hello ladies sorry I didn't post yesterday took to long getting ready in the morning I guess. Last night when I got home I colored my hair (went back to blonde) so now I look very bleached out. But had to do it to get rid of the brown next week it should be safe to color it a little darker blonde. Then I went downstairs to exercise for an hour. Well keep your fingers crossed for me I need to lose another .2lbs by tomorrow (and have todays weight stick) to make my goal for the challange.

babygrant - Thanks I hope I can do a mini vacation soon too. Good for you for being back on track that calorie smart thing sounds neat and all for $5.00 you can't beat that price.

Soon2BFitChick - How was the sock hop it sounds like it would be really fun for the kids. I hope you get your big loss for the week. the sience experiment sounds really cool and it's pretty neat that you get to be your sons partner. Good luck with the plants coming back. Hope you get to spend time with hubby soon.

dayoneagain - you are not a disappointment you are living life and it throws us alot of curve balls. Keep with it you can do this.

ars - did you end up staying at home or did you go out to see the band. You are right a loss is a loss so be proud of it.

Mercy03 - sorry you have to work this weekend but if it helps with a loss it will be so worth it. I too have to exercise everyday now in order for anything to happen.

Angela - How is Gats?

Echo - Did you find a car yet?

Hello to everyone else on the Blue Team

I have to say that "just being overweight" but wearing a size 10/12 and being "no longer obese" is pretty dang annoying. LOL.

congrats weebs.... I just hit the big-old you're only overweight and not obese too this week. First time in 18 yrs!

[Bigmid]

Congratulations Idealmuse on hitting the overweight catagory

As of this morning I am down 3.2lbs so that is 20.2 for the challange. I can live with that even if I needed the two extra weeks to do it. According to the Wii I am 20lb away from normal.....yeah!!!!!!

I hope you all have success today. I am off to make some 1 pt muffins

[Catsgetnhealthy]

Hello everyone~
Well I missed my goal by 8lbs. But at least I lost during the challenge and that's what is important. Had a hellish week this week but stayed OP with eating and working out. Can not wait til the next challenge to get going!! Really helps me stay the course. And I promise to be more vocal!!!
Great job everyone!!!!

[Echo]

Hey Blue Team!
its been great being part of the blue team. i've realised if i'm not counting calories or watching my calorie intake, i gain so quickly ! so tommorow is a brand new day and i'm going to get my weight under control. i realised i really do have to watch my calories otherwise gain pounds so quickly. i did exercise 4 times this week. but wasnt so strict with the calories. so hence showed another gain (sorry team!)

Bigmid- thanks for your kind comment regarding my running intervals

and thank you for your sweet words about missing me, so nice of you! and you should definately do the C25K its great! good luck with it!

no not found a car yet, thanks for asking

good job on the exercise and FANTASTIC work on losing 20.2lbs this challange, thats amazing!!
well done.


Thanks Selina! yeh i agree running outdoors is so nice in the weather. although am sure to slap on high SPF!! i read that you must make sure the sunscreen has filters for both UVB and UVA.

i really admire how you are giving so many babies a loving home. you are amazing!!! and congrats on hitting 197, thats SUPER!

Sorry to be a disappointment girlies - I'm sure I'll crack this thing one day!!

we are both in the same boat!!! i hear ya!! i must be the only member of the blue team, that GAINED like 6lbs, so bad of me. but like you, tommorow is a brand new day, and i'm setting myself a 1 month target to lose 5lbs. i'm going on holiday on june 1st. so want to lose the pounds i gained. and get down to 155lbs again. i've realised i really cant just eat whatever i want and how ever much i want and just exercise, to maintain, i really do have to still count calories.

Ars- i'm sorry to hear you're missing out on the concert. i know how you feel though, i can be like that sometimes too.

Mercy good luck with the summer challenge! i know you will do great. i cant join though myself cause i will be on holiday. but i wish everyone luck !!

congrats Idealmuse on your new BMI status!

congrats cats on losing 8lbs.

well you girls have certainly inspired me, to get my butt into gear and start my weight loss journey seriously again.

going to take baby steps again and take it one day at a time.
just joined a daily weigh in thread. which i need to keep myself accountable.

Thanks everyone for being such great team members! really was great being on the blue team. I wish everyone success on their weight loss journey.
hope we can all keep in touch

shout out to Mercy!

Thanks Angela for being a great team leader.

best of luck for the summer challenge everyone !!

Hey ladies.. sorry I have been MIA... I am starting an online course tomorrow.. Developmental Psychology 1 and I have been head first in the the course materials all weekend. My Gats is doing much better.. lets hope that continues when the meds are gone... he had a bad urinary tract infection.
If i do not get everything posted tomorrow morning I will post them in the evening when I get home from work.. The next 7 weeks (the length of this course) is going to be kind of insane for me so I ask that you please bear with me!
have a good night everyone and God Bless

[Mercy03]

Hello to everyone else and Congratulations to our biggest losers IdealMuse
Muffentop, Bigmid, babygrant
