Wow...so much energy and motivation here! I'm also looking forward to the show tomorrow. DH and I have watched pretty much all the seasons and now I've got my mom interested in watching occassionally too. She's also wanting to drop weight and get healthier.
I'm reminded to update my blog since there's actually someone reading it. LOL I haven't been super OP the last few weeks and now I feel like I'm getting back to old form...ready to lose the rest of this crazy weight and meet my new body! I'm within 10 pounds of being "normal" on the BMI chart...can I get a WOOT WOOT!? I've never been very normal in any other way, but this I will gladly accept!! Today was an excellent OP day. Tomorrow will be the same and I will make my team proud!

Go RED!

Reddies,

This Wednesday is my first day with my walking group I started for homeless ladies I volunteer with. I am so nervous and excited, 37 ladies have signed up for the group. Please say a pray that everything goes smoothly. I want to motivate and inspire them to take back their lives (health), and exercise is a great place to start. They are being feed spiritually now it's time to work on their temple.

Can you please post all the members of the RED team again, I understand there we additions? Thanks

Hi red team,
It looks like there is a lot of pep in here this challenge.
I had a great weekend as far as being fun, and I wasn't the worst on my eating, but Ididn't keep track of anything, and I went to a buffet on Saturday night with a big group of people from the faire. I ate my fruit during the day and found some eggs for breakfast on sunday. I wove baskets both days, and got to talk to people and have a great time. I was close enough to hear some good music and reconnected with some friends I haven't seen for a while. Next weekend I'm going to put one or more baskets up for silent auction and try to make some money. I bought some new reed today, one batch was space dyed, it's so pretty with shades of blue, purple, green and black along it. I'm going to do that in a twill, it should look great.

My WI this week so far was off, partly because I didn't drink enough water over the weekend, (BR for workers was a block away and I had no one to watch my stuff) and TOM started today ( I'm glad it waited till after the weekend.)

Hope everyone has a great week

Hi Red Team!

I'm still recovering from surgery but on the crazy liquid diet I'm on I lost 6 pounds in the last week LOL. Guess it will be a great kick start once I am eating normal food again and exercising.

I was in a ton of pain all day and so sore from the neck up. I'm feeling a little bit better now though. I'm off to bed! Have a great Tuesday everyone!

I have been looking for this thread....I know DUH! I was like well we aren't supposed to post in the Challenge thread...hehehe

I did absolutely awesome yesterday! POP and 7 miles ran! Woo hoo! And I even thought about our BL Challenge on the way to the gym, which got me a little more motivated! SO here is to another day of awesome! I hope everyone has a wonderful day full of loses!

BTW - [B]MSPERCEPTION[B] You look Fabulous!!!!!

Morning all...I'm new to the site, but am on the Red Team. Go Team! Can someone explain "the rules" to me. Do we weigh in Tuesday or Wednesday mornings and post it? Is there a thread explaining things?
Ok, off to day 1 work out. Good luck ALL!

Weighins are due by 11:59 p.m (eastern) on Mondays, week one being due 09/21/09. Basically you post your weight in the weighin thread (you'll need to make a post to keep track of all your weighins in the TBL Fall 2009 - Red Team Weighin thread, and then update it each week. Then you need to post in the weekly chat threads.

CakeBatter-Hey! Thanks for the compliment! I remember bumping into you in the monthly challenge threads a few months ago I think. 7 miles! Wow! That's great! I only run 2-4 miles per day 4 days a week. Someday I'd like to work up to more miles per day, but for now, this is enough. I'm adding days, though. I was doing 3, now I'm on 4, and by next month I hope to be doing 5 days per week of running. Anyway, keep up the good work!!
KimL-Yeah, I keep forgetting I'm getting closer to goal since it still feels a long ways away. WTG on the hikes! Hiking is so great since it's tons of fun and an excellent workout!

Yesterday was pretty great for me too. I lost the "weekend weight" and I'm back to my ticker weight. Now it's time to get serious and see what I can do for the rest of the week, month and year! Plus, I'm really looking forward to the season of TBL starting tonight!! I almost forgot and made other plans, then I realized it and told DH I couldn't go with him to the volleyball game! LOL I don't have Tivo right now or I could've done that, but I like seeing it "live" anyway.

I will look into this and re-post tonight or tomorrow... unfortunately, I'm having some computer issues right now.

Enjoy the new season of The Biggest Loser tonight everyone, I know I am looking forward to it!

I am so excited. I just got back from the grocery store and DIDN"T buy chips. I bought apples and bananas instead. Oh yeah, I'm drinking a glass of water right now. This is progress.

WOOOHOOOO!

I can't wait to get home from work, eat a super healthy meal and work out during the show!!! I am so excited to "meet" the new players. It is going to be an awesome season!
