I'm with ya, and I'll be back once finals are over tomorrow!

Yep, I'm with you! We have exactly 5 weeks until the next challenge begins. I think we should rock the weight loss and bring in the new year on the right foot. Who's with me?

I'm with y'all! Let's keep it up!

Hiya Everyone!
Welp, ended this Challenge with a resounding THUD-- . . . wishing everyone all the best in the next 5 weeks and on into the next challenge - it's been so great getting to know everyone and I'll be following along on your/our journeys.

thanks for starting this thread!
I ended the challenge with a 2 lb loss this week....takes me into the 170's..which is fabulous...but I am overall somewhat disappointed with my efforts over the last couple of months. I could have/should have done better...and I need to stop all of the 'little' cheats! Easier said then done!
Congrats to everyone for sticking with it, exercising more, loosing weight (however much), and being an encouragement to each other!!

Well it's 77 degrees here today and I'm loving this Indian summer in December! If it was this way all year long I'd be a very happy / skinny woman!

I woke up with a killer migraine this morning. I came to work and was all nauseated... then I got sick. Note to self: don't drink OJ when you feel like :

Thankfully that spell has passed and I'm all better. I got on the scale the other day and I was way up... like 8 lbs. I'm sad that I'm gaining... but I'm glad its not effecting the blue team. That would really hurt them for the final week. I'm hoping I can get back to 191 before the next challenge and that most of it is salt and water.

I can't wait to move in January! I've been looking at paint colors and loving the weekends I watch HGTV. I've decided on a light creamy color in the bathroom with a metallic gold ragging as a top coat. It's supposed to give the room a Roman bath feel, and if you know me, I love me some royalty feeling. My "fitness" room is going to be a green, cause thats the color of energy, so hopefully it'll give me some!

Oooo my favorite Christmas song is on... its Celebrate Me Home by Kenny Loggins. Not to Christmasy.... but its fun to sing in the shower.

Well I'm going to go review what I have to finish for physics and then work on the baby quilt I plan on selling. (It was supposed to be for my nephew but I didn't get it done in time and he'll be too big for Eeyore soon.) (PS: If anyone wants it let me know.)

I'll be heading out to buy the Biggest Loser's prize sometime this week.

PPS: Elvis - Blue Christmas is on now. <3 that song too Elvis rox my sox.

Hi everyone,
I will defiinitely be checking in here. I'm doing WW. I find it is better for me to post my menu the day after. I change snacks and meals based on how I feel that day. I had so much fun with this challenge. I lost myself a little bit along the way but overall I am extremely happy with my results. I hope to continue to lose throughout the 5 weeks we are on break. If I instead maintain that is fine too.

Hi ladies. The black team already knows, but I recently got engaged and I'm getting married this spring. My official wedding date is May 30th. We're doing a destination wedding (eloping) in Hawaii. Obviously, I now have a very set date for my goal weight. 130 by May 30th. The next TBL wave will definitely be an important one. But, in order to be certain that it's not too difficult of a goal to reach, I HAVE to stay on the wagon over the holidays.

The last two days weren't good because I participated in a cookie exchange yesterday. I made 9 batches of cookies on Saturday night and my dinner ended up being licking the batter off of spoons, knives, my hands, etc. Then, I went to the cookie exchange where my dinner consisted of 2 mini quiche, 1/2 cup of taco dip, 5 mini egg rolls, about 3 cookies and tastes of a few others. THEN I had 5 more tiny pecan tartlettes (sp?) as dessert.

BAD, Amber, BAD.

But today has been very good. And, I'm supposed to be doing my Hustle Up the Hancock practice tonight. Yay for stair climbing.

Hello Ladies!

I was not in the last challenge, but am planning on participating in the next one. I just wanted to pop in to say hi! About a week ago, I started exercising more frequently. I was down 2 pounds this week which brings me back to my pre-Thanksgiving week. I've got a couple of Christmas parties this week, so it will be a challenge to stay on plan or get back on plan very quickly after my parties.

I'm excited about participating in the next challenge and getting to know you ladies better!

Hi ladies - I just wanted to stop in quickly and say congrats to all on the challenge.

And... I'm done my undergrad!! YAHOOOO! I just got back from handing in my very last paper.
