Great job Blue team on a fabulous week. Together as a team we can accomplish anything!

Awesome job, blue team! Keep up the good work...week four already...let's show red team what we are really made of!

btw...now that I have over 20 posts and 20 days, how do I become a senior membet? Guess I am suffering from "graphics" envy! Thanks for the help.

BIG BIG Congrats to weebles,Nella,Turning30 and shoupfamily for being the biggest losers this week

Dora your poem was beautiful!!!!!!!

I read the end of the last thread and now that I'm here I can't remember what I wanted to say! Maybe I need coffee first!

Well after my first 2 awesome weeks I knew it had to slow down but I didn't want to go backwards! That darn scale bounced up to 188 a few days ago and decided to stick there it seems. GRRRRRR

I hated showing a gain for the blue team!!!!!!

On the shoes I bought. Upon waking up today I do feel a bin of soreness in the calves and butt so I guess they do something! My back now feels almost 100% normal so I'll hit the exercise. Hope that shakes something lose!

Have a terrrific day blue team!

Michelle, I bought the sketchers (from Kohl's on sale and then with a 30% coupon on top so they were a little less than $50, I hadn't heard of the therashoes, so I thought the sketchers were a deal in comparison to the MBTs which are hundreds). They came right before I hurt myself so I didn't get a chance to use them. I was going to put them in my car to use to walk at school (I usually have dress shoes) and other opportunities like going out shopping or whatever after church, they are black mary jane type things that wouldn't scream out under black pants or with a skirt (look like nurse shoes).

I usually walk my dogs at home in the cemetery so I'd probably kill myself with those in about five minutes. I haven't been brave enough to try them yet. Maybe next week!

My goal for this week is ONEDERLAND. Selina are you coming with me?

Congrats to everyone on their losses this week, especially our biggest losers!

I had a pretty dreadful week weight-loss-wise, but fantastic times with family and friends at various parties and celebrations, so I think it was worth it. Back on track this morning with a 5km run which was toouuugh!!!

Feeling great! Have a very busy week ahead with job interviews and such but am determined to keep my calories down and my exercise up!

Congrats on another good week everyone! Is anyone else following the South Beach Diet? I started it 2 weeks ago, and have lost almost 9lbs in the first 2 weeks following Phase 1 where you eat very few carbs. Today I am supposed to be starting Phase 2 where you add healthy carbs back into your diet. I am so tempted to stay on Phase 1 a little bit longer to keep losing quickly. Anyone else tried this? For the most part we (my husband and I) have been eating low-fat dairy and lean meats along with salads and veggies. But no whole grains and no fruits, so I know its not healthy long-term. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Congratulations to weebles,Nella,Turning30 and shoupfamily for being the biggest losers this week!

I am back on track this morning. Boohooed about my lack luster past weeks last night on the old thread. Feeling like I just need to suck it up today and do what I know I need to and deserve to.

BIGMID - You are not alone in the ho-hums, but that was yesterday. Wanna be my accountability partner and get here every day to check up? Lord knows I need it.

I gained this week... as a matter of fact I have gained this whole challenge so far (not suprisingly) but I am changing my ways a headed to join some challenges and log my food!

Lets go ONEderlanders! I am pushing full force to stay under 200. Hit 199.8 BLECH! Off it goes this week though. Maybe I need to pay for bootcamp one more time after all..... hmmmm

Hello people. A BIG Blue congratulations to Weebles, our Biggest Loser and our runners-up Nella,Turning30 and shoupfamily. Fantastic job, ladies.

I had a run-in with Christmas cake last night. Yum, yum but oh so bad. I guess it was latent Christmas eating. It's all put away now so it's safe.

Anyhoo, let's make this a good week whether we win or lose.

Wow! Great job all!!! Thanks for all the kind words!

Nixmom - Glad to see you on the boards!! We've missed ya! Now get back out there, drop and give me 20!!!

Mercy - I could never put you to shame!

Turning30 - I've thought about doing SB for a while. I just keep forgetting when I go shopping and buy rice and potatoes, lol.

Dayone - Good Luck with the job stuff!!

Thinner - It will even out. We all bounce around.

Isabella - A little bit of cake isn't so bad. You've worked hard and can't deprive your self of all the yummy stuff!
