Morning ladies;

I just posted my LOSS, WOOOOO HOOOOO!! Can you say 160's NEXT WEEK!!!!!!! The scale angels : answered my prayers OK and PUSHIN THAT TRAIN didn't hurt either

Those of you having a harder week, just keep pushin that train . . . WE CAN DO IT!!!!

Bad choices, hard weeks, injuries and TOM will come and go, but pushin that train is forever . . . . GOTTA MELT SOME BUTT-ER, YOU CAN DO IT . . .

UP AND AT 'EM RED TEAM!

Hey Courtney--So what if you slid down the mountain a bit. Glad to hear you're just jumping back on the train and chugging along with us.

Desidoo--Where are you? How are you feeling?

Rainbow--Come out, come out wherever you are!

Shan--Thanks for keeping the thread flowing, the numbers crunching, and being such a diplomat.

Shades, Charlie & Mel--Seriously, next week can't get here quick enough. It sounds like it's been kind of rough for a bunch of us in feeling sluggish, making good choices, etc.

MadameButt-er--It's only because of you that I'm headed to gym right now to burn some calories. I need to combat that excessive goo you keep dripping down on me in your workout post.

To the rest of the team...a motivational quote of the day:
Victory belongs to the most persevering.
Napoleon Bonaparte

LET'S DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like it was a tough week all around here at the Red Team. for everyone....we'll keep pushing that train and stay on track through next week!!

I didn't get as big of a whoosh after TOM as I was expecting BUT I did pass my 20% of SW lost goal!!! I'm still adding a loss of 2 lbs of buttery goo to the team total this week.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and staying warm!

Good Morning Wonderful Red Team!!!

I just wanted to check in and let you all know that I am alive. Very sore but alive. The lump ended up being bigger than they thought at first. But it and it's 7 little friends are now gone.

I am not allowed to do any exercise, lift, bend, nothing until my stitches come out next Friday. So I will be here cheering you all on this week. CHOOOOO CHOOOOO

I see there was alittle drama action while I was gone. WOW....Flash back of high school there for a moment. I just have to ask. I understand we are all working towards the same goal here but isn't there two teams? Wouldn't that make this a competition even if it is friendly?? I mean I don't know about you but I like competition. It pushes me farther. No one posted anything to hurt anyone else's feelings. Rainbow made a mistake and posted on the wrong thread. A few of us thought it was funny. I personally thought the posting on the wrong thread was funny because I have done that in the past. Then you think crap and try to fix it. No big deal. Get your panties out of a wad. If you take offense to something as small as this then wow....I can't imagine what you are like in real life.

I know for a fact Rainbow feels terrible and has been really depressed over this. She said she will not be posting as much and well personally that pisses me right the **** off. So if you get offended over something as stupid as what you did. SHUT YOU CAKE HOLE put on the big girl panties and deal with it. Instead of yappin your mouth which none of us want to hear. Goto the gym and work out. That is what were here for. Lose the weight and take a big glass of shut the **** up!!!!!!

Live my BFF Rainbow alone!

Anyway I am off of my soapbox. If I'm sorry but I have been here fuming over this since yesterday. It is not cool to make someone depressed and cry because she made a mistake. Especially when that someone has been out biggest cheerleader. She loves us all and wants us to all succeed.

I am very proud of you red team and keep up the great work. I am in alot of pain so I am off to take a pain bill. Sorry to sounds like a *****y bee. Pull that train red team!!!!

Dora....
you have missed COMPLETELY... WHY they were laughing. they nor me, were laughing AT the blue team...they were laughing at ME for making the goof.

Seriously, i do not for the life of me understand how this got so out of hand!????

I posted a CHEER to MY team...i was THANKING them for not only inspiring the red team, but also inspiring the blue team...as even your own blue team member said...

i was cheering them on to another successful week...like i have done in the past, as this is after all 2 teams....all trying for the same outcome. to lose weight and become healthier and more fit.

i did not realize it was even on the wrong thread...until jaytee pointed it out to me...jaytee, reading innocently both threads...was taken aback by my error...and believe me, if i had known at the time i could delete a message i would have deleted it right then and there...but i didn't know that, which is why i left the next post, saying, sorry, i posted it on the wrong thread. i even messaged jacky saying she could delete the message, as i wasn't aware that i could....i thought only the leaders could. now, i have learned how to delete, so i have deleted the wrong posting, and any other posting...i will not post on the blue thread anymore.

jaytee and desidoo...were LAUGHING AT ME...because i was panic-y thinking, crap how do i fix this...so they were laughing at my attempt to make good.

THAT IS WHAT WAS SO FUNNY...AND THAT IS WHAT THEY WERE AMUSED BY!! ME....MY ERROR...AND MY FEEBLE ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE ERROR.

i said to them...happy i could amuse...like a dog with my tail between my legs...OUT OF JEST!!! because they were laughing at ME.... SHEEESH....i felt like crap already...and i was like, GEE THANKS, HAPPY I COULD AMUSE...meaning, crap, this aint happy...how do i fix this post!

BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND THAT FACT!!

i don't even understand WHY anyone has their feathers in a fluff. i did remove the posting, i did apologize, and still you won't leave it alone.

well no worries, i won't bother YOUR BLUE TEAM ANY MORE!!

thank you desiree, for having my back, you are a sweet heart.

now, maybe we can all just forget about it and move one...

and oh dora, maybe you could be GRACIOUS and REMOVE your nasty accusing post...because you are accusing 3 people of something they never did...which was treat the blue team in any mean spirited way AT ALL.

Desidoo---Uh...could you pass those pain pills around?!?!?! Glad you're back, I mean exceptionally glad you're back! I'll happily pull your portion of the train this week!

Hi team!!!! Trying to get some reading in to catch up!!! It's been a rough week with a tougher week on the way. I work at an elementary school and we go into bargaining next week so I can feel the stress eating coming on. I am going to pack myself some healthy snacks for those late night sessions and get my walk/runs in. I am here in spirit but posting might be tough!!!! I hope everyone has a big loss week!!!!

Rainbow - We love you girlie! Don't stop posting on account of others who may not able to handle an error. Remember, we absolutely love your posts here! You are so inspiring and your liveliness really adds a lot to our team.

RAINBOWSMILES ROCKS!!!!!

Rainbow I just wanted to let you know, you are a huge inspiration! Even though I am on the other team, I read both threads to find inspiration. You are an awesome cheerleader, and even when you are inspiring your own team, your energy and positive outlook helps motivate me to stay on plan. I hope this accidental posting, and some of the reactions doesn't cause you to post any less as DesiDoo mentioned... that would be a real shame. Like Courtney said, You rock!!

Good luck with your weigh in Red Team, and keep that train moving!

Sorry guys, I gained a bit this week. Almost didn't post and just take the freebie, but decided to own up. Hope I didn't mess up the team's numbers too much.

11 freebies used this week and 8 eliminated as official members.

Please don't forget to weigh in each week. You don't have to wait until Sunday to post your weeekly weigh in. Come on team!

I'll be back soon to post new threads for Week 5.
