I have won little things. It seems that I get lucky with drawings. You know free CD, etc. But what I really want to win is the darn lotto. Of course I don't play, so that may be the reason. Maybe I should start writing Ed McMan(how do you spell his name?).

Congrats to everyone for week one. And thanks for the encouragement. It did feel wonderful to get into onderland. Woohoo. Never going back to the 200's.

Have a wonderful day!

Good afternoon everyone,


Congrats to US for being the biggest losers this week. I hope your all having a great day. I am trying to get in here more and post more to get to know you all better. Be back after supper. Off for my walk. Bye for now.

Cathy in Canada.

Hello all! just wanted to POP in and say congrats on our first week! We Rock!

I'm back from Boston, and had another off-plan day yesterday But today I am being EXTRA good to make up for it. Hopefully this week will be better, though I have a bunch of drinking events that I know are going to be trouble. At least I have my half-marathon coming up on Sunday! I'm so excited about it, and that will definitely burn a ton of calories

Melissa - I LOVE working out during the show. It always makes me go a bit harder/longer/farther when I see how hard the contestants are working! Tonight's plan is an hour on the elliptical and then a half hour of resistance training for my legs. And then some time to just veg and enjoy watching

Terapet, welcome! We're glad to hear from you.

Yello - hope your muscle gets better soon!

Everyone - congratulations on us being Week 1 Biggest Losers! Now let's see if we can shut everyone out for week 2 as well

Laura I'll be ellipticalling with you!! I had only planned on going for 30 minutes but who knows maybe they'll inspire me to push on!

Well I won't be working out during the TBL...I'm on my way in a few min. I made a big pot of turkey chili today, and I'll be eating that while watching TBL!LOL! No for real I will do some ab work during the show, but the show has been 2 hours lately, and I won't being doing that much ab work I've had a good day today. So far my eating has been OP and I've got 3 loads of laundry done, my kitchen sink scrubbed out, and my dinner for the rest of the week made. I'm the only one in my house who will eat chili, Joey every now and then will eat it with me, but seemings how he just asked what the weird looking stuff in the fridge was I don't think he'll be joining me tonight!LOL! I'm just going to work on cardio tonight. That boot camp video did a lot of squats and what not, so I don't think I could handle weights tonight. I have to fit in 2 days though this week of strength training to meet my goal, so tomorrow will be a weight day! Well I should get my butt moving. Have a great evening ladies~

Laura- Welcome home...did you have a nice visit? Your half marathon is this weekend? WOW, that is really cool!

Melissa- You go girl...work it out tonight...Do you work out at a gym, or home? Our gym has tv's but it's all sub-titled, so I don't like watching it.

Cecilia- Hello...

Mom23BC- Congrats on making it to onderland! That must be an awesome feeling Keep up the hard work!

Cathy in Canada- Enjoy your walk~

Terapet- Welcome

Barbara- We love when you chat with us, come talk whenever you can.

Okay for real I need to get my butt out the door already...

Tina...I gotta go to the gym to do running but I also have an elliptical that I can use at home. The TVs at my gym are tuned to a radio station so you just tune your headset to that radio station to hear whats going on the TV...doesnt work if you've got an ipod though LOL. I hope you had a GREAT workout!! enjoy that chili!

Thanks Tina!

Congrats to everyone! Way to go team!!!!!!

Question:
Have you ever won anything before? Tell us about it!

Yes. I have won several small things, raffle prizes like tools and hotel stays and the like. My biggest win was a trip to Disney World from Sears. They flew us to Orlando and paid for everything for a week. It was awesome (except for paying the taxes on it of course). My kids still talk about the trip

Hope everyone has/had a great day! Way too busy at work for me (but I did manage to get in my resistance band and WATP workouts)

Congrats team!!! Hopefully this week I'll contribute by actaully losing, however, it was a TOM week, I can't wait to see my number!!! Later, ladies!

Cats
I got the Walk slim system this morning. Can't wait to try it. Another one to add to my Leslie collection. Have to say I love her chatty attitude and like the workouts best that have people in them with her.

Yep I like her chattyness too. I talk back to her.

Hi everyone. I have had a decently good day eating-wise and I am planning on doing some cardio during TBL (I am a West coastie). I did weights this morning and it just wasn't the usual groaning and sweating I am used to, so I want to see some calories burned.

I had my body fat analyzed today. My body fat percentage has only dropped 2% since October - my trainer looked a little displeased. But, I was off plan all of Nov-Dec and gained 10 pounds, so I actually have lost 11 pounds since she last weighed me, so instead of fussing over a measly 2% drop I am going to focus on dropping another couple percentage points for the next test at the end of February!

Congrats to us---now back to exercising! Let's do it again next week!

Good evening Red team!! Just had to come tell you I stuck to points today, i've even got 3 left over so i can have some dove chocolate if I wanna!! Yum! Plus I did my elliptical for 30 minutes while I watched TBL, it was rough! But I did it!! I think I'll sleep like a baby tonight!
