No I haven't seen any of that, how cool! I did find a little notebook & pen that had Biggest Loser and Bob on it tho somewhere. LOL It doesnt' surprise me that the shipping is so much. I still can't figure out why people feel justified in ripping us off for that! We should revolt I tell you! lol

♥danielle

Danielle If you go on NBC and then click on for the biggest loser if you scroll down look off to the Left side and their will be a little box with it was the soundtrack and click on it and you can view all the Biggest loser stuff . They have hats , shirts, Hoodies, the book, video, Pen and notebook, cookbook, calorie counter book, and more I emailed them becasue it says you can pay by check or money order and all it does when you enter all the info is want a credit card number. so we will see.

I looked SC up and the lady that is doing that has only lost 9lbs. Is any one else keeping track of their state?

got to get some other stuff done before bed I hope to check in before I go.

Good Morning Ladies,

Geesh, I definitely did not get in enough water yesterday. I was incredibly thirsty last night so I drank too much too late - then yep, couldn't sleep because I was up all night 'going'. I really am not enjoying getting older! LOL

Danielle - You are just too funny. I love it. The Jillian Michaels dvd is called FRONTS (I'm pretty sure) lol. It works all 'front' muscle groups. It was a good workout.

Amanda - I've never heard of Harvey Walden...I'll have to check it out. CONGRATS on the renewal! We renewed our vows two years ago (at 15 years)...DH surprised me at our daughters baptism. He had it all arranged. It was very nice.

Sara - No, Jillian didn't do the Yoga Booty...she is the old trainer from Biggest Loser. Sorry about your shoulder!

Stacia - WOO HOO on that 4.3 miles! You go girl!

Bonnie - 4 pounds! Happy Dance:carrot: That's great! We will definitely be taking it all in on our trip. We're planning 30-45 days...we'll see.

Melissa - Yep, that bad day is behind you. I'm glad you didn't let it turn into a series of days! Good job getting it back together.

I have to run Ladies. Let's make good choices today!

Good Morning Ladies, Boy not much going on here lately. It is so nice that today if friday. The weather is sooo nice here today high is only going to be in the mid 70s I cut the AC off and opened the windows . I hate being all cramped in a house. Nice time to air the house out.

Got a phone call from my step daughter last night and they are having some of the same problems with the step son who was staying with us. I am sooo glad it is them and not us.

Got to get busy Iam going to take this day to get some cleaning done.

Good Morning everyone!! Its friday!! This week went by WAY too fast! I didnt make it back yesterday to do personals, after my stint at the school working on fundraiser I was dying so I took a pill and OMG!! Out for like 2 hours. So I dunno if those are gonna work. I was really tired yesterday though so that may have contributed we'll see how it goes today. I've got classes all morning then back to the school to finish up first and kindergarten.

Tomorrow we have this big party to attend for grandpa's 90th birthday. My inlaws are throwing it. any of you who dont know my inlaws and I dont like each other...AT ALL! Except grandma and grandpa I love them! Will be interesting to say the least because i do not plan on putting on my Mary Sunshine face at all! I know that its not very good for me to do that, but these people are the most vile, diabolical, shaddy people you could ever know.

On a good note I had a fantastic day yesterday, got more than my water goal in! Would you believe I completely forgot to do my official weighin today!! And i'm already down 1/2 a bottle of water so I'm not gonna do it now, I will in the morning though!! Airhead! LOL!!

Stacia..you are doing so great!! Little gym sounds fun! I remember when mine were little ones, they are so independent now its sad! I hope you are a little less sore today and can get that workout in!! keep up the good work!!

Amanda...hows it going? Got a little more energy today? I hope so!! You are such a good person for going out of your way to help production when you dont have to. Even giving up some of your weekend. 50 more days!! Doesnt seem like long at all does it!! Have you started dress shopping?

Danielle...I'm glad you are starting to see what the rest of us see when you look in the mirror. You are beautiful! Thats a great moment you had yesterday, more of those to come! How'd WI go today? How many leaves did you rip off!! Can you believe I forgot?!! What a ditz!! LOL!!

Bonnie..you scared me! LOL!! I had to research your sons condition but nope, doesnt sound like my pain at all. Thank goodness! I'm rooting for the blue team too, I just love Bob so I gotta. I missed the first hour of BL this week so I didnt see the blue team being cocky but I agree with Danielle, Bob is instilling that win it all attitude in them. You are doing so great!! Putting up some amazing losses!! Keep it up girl!!

Melody...Good morning!! I usually have the same problem with my water, i do it too slow early in the day. Something we gotta work on! LOL!! Keep up the good work!!

I know I'm missing a bunch of people...hello to you all!! Anyone heard from Aqua? Have a wonderful day everyone!!! Be good to yourself! This isnt an easy battle to fight but it is a winnable battle! We can do it!! One choice at a time!!

~melissa

Coming in super duper quick. On my way to wake the kids, so gotta be fast. I wanted to tell you guys that I lost 2 pounds! 2 leaves are off my tree!!!

Will be back for personals after errands this morning!

Be good ladies!

Danielle

Happy firday everyone!!!

Yesterday was not such a great day. eh. But that is okay right?? I was eating this salad from trader joes. I thought all was good with it, I swore I checked everything out on the back of the box before I bought the darn thing. So I am sitting here eating it, and all of the sudden half way through it I decided to look at the back of the box.... um 800 calories. WTF?? Its a salad! I threw it away. :o Last night I had a couple cookies. I have been doing great in the sweet department. I have errends to run today, but then I am going for a walk and doing either Core Secrets or Windsor Pilates at home. I dont usually make it to the gym on fridays, so that will work out great. I need to go get more slimfast too.

Melissa, I know what you mean about ILs. I think we might have the same ones. ;)

Danielle, yay on the two pounds!!! That is great! Keep up the good work hun!

Melody, I hate hate those nights!! I have to cut myself off from drinking water at like 7:30 or I am up all night long peeing! Its a nightmare! And this reminds me to go get a water right now!

Ladies, Have a great weekend! I will try to pop in, but we have a lot going on this weekend. I think Carter is ready for his big boy bed! So we are going to go look at those. I have also talked DH into going walking with me on the weekends on the beach. YAY! Okay, gots to run!

Danielle

:bravo: On your weight loss. Thats great.

I have noticed that my favorite jean shorts arent killing me any more.:carrot: :carrot:

got to run

Hi Ladies....

It's been a while, but I've been hanging out in Setback Central Station.

1) My 40 mile walk is off as I was told this week that I have a stress fracture in my foot. I'm very sad about this, but I suppose there's always next year.

and 2) I've been sick with the stomach/regular flu all week. In fact, today is the first day I've been at work. It's been fun, sexy times. Grrr.

Anywho, I have a ton of work to do, but I wanted to give a great big hello to all the newbies and a great big hello to all the oldbies! I'll be checking in this weekend!

Liz

Danielle - WOO HOO!!! Great Job!

Good Afternoon all!!!

Danielle!!! WWWWOOOOOOFREAKINWOOOH! LOL! I'm so happy for you girl! You stuck to it and you kicked some butt this week!! 2 leaves bite the dust!! Did ya burn em? LOL! I'm so proud of you! You did so great!! Keep it going!

Stacia...800 calories from a salad!! Oye!! Could have cheeseburger for that! Good lord! Did it have nuts and avacodo on it or something? Good thing you looked LOL! Awww...the big boy bed! I remember my girls moving into those, they seem so little in that great big bed, then again they seemed too little for the crib too LOL!! I hope you guys find something great for him!!

Liz?...do we know you? Ah yes the naked train rider!? LOL!! Well hello there stranger its GREAT to hear from you!! Time to get on that train though! You can do it I know you can! And we'll all be right there cheering you on! I'm sorry to hear about your foot and that you've been so sick!

Alright everyone!! I hope you have the best weekend!! I'll post my loss for the week tomorrow...notice I said LOSS! lol! Yes I'm confident! Be good!

~melissa

Thanks guys for the cheers! Feels really good to be edging away from that darn 250 mark. I NEVER want to be there again EVER in my life. :no:

Melissa, my leaves are "sitting" at the bottom of my tree on the 'ground'...the kids want to see the leaves there to keep track for me. LOL I hope you have a great turnout for the fundraiser for as much time as you've put in! Those people should be kissin yer feet lady!! Can't wait to see how many leaves you've dropped this week. I bet it's alot!

Bonnie, I hope you are enjoying your weather. Nothing I love more than having all the windows open and having that breeze come in. So refreshing! Of course, with the bonehead neighbors we've got, may not happen. What, with all their cigarette smoke and floozies.....:rolleyes:

Melody, yeah the Jillian dvd's I have is a 2-disc set: Full-frontal & Back in Action. I haven't yet completed these yet. Today was the day you were leaving, no? I hope you guys will have lots of fun! How often will you be checking in with us? Oye, the water thing can be so disruptive in the middle of the night! I've been drinking oceans of water ever since my first son was born 13yrs ago, so I'm pretty used to it now. Water was what I craved most thru all my pregnancies..weird. I swear I just "go" in the night w/out even waking up because I am still slugging water at 10pm. LOL

((Liz)) How's my nekkid train rider today!! We've missed ya lady, it's awesome that you're here today. I am so sorry about your walk being cancelled!! I know how hard you worked for it, but I guess on the plus side, look at how much great training you got! You're right next year will be there, and you will be alot lighter by then! I hope you are feeling better, the flu stinks don't it?! I am finally not coughing anymore, it's been 3 weeks! Stay well, and look forward to hearing from ya this weekend!

Stacia, how ya doin chicky! Wow, that really bites about the salad, what in the world was in there? I hope you were able to get your workouts in today, you're doing so well with all that!!! Awww, big boy beds!! I remember those days, I cried. LOL Speaking of beds tho, we were just out shopping this morning for a new bed for my son....no baby anymore, he'll be 14 soon!

Well, tonight is casino night in our household. :D My kids love to play poker & blackjack and my hubby's the dealer. It's really a hilarious sight to behold, they all get so rowdy. But we're doing it up big tonight. I printed out invitations for the kids for a "private party" with drinks & food. Needless to say there will be lots of goodies that I need to keep my fingers out of! I really need to stay strong, gotta keep that momentum flying right now.

♥danielle

Hey ladies,

okay so nothing really new. ive had the stomach flu the past couple of days...not my best moments but its all good. i'm going on a 2 day fast so hopefully that will get everything back in order.

Amanda-thats so cute ya'll are getting married again. its so sweet!!!

Melissa- good luck with the inlaws and hope the doc comes back with some good news with an easy treatment plan!!!

Danielle- Congrats on the weightloss and the poker night is soooo cute. More families need to do things like that. I almost never did with my grandparents. the only time we ever even really sat together was in the car or to eat on special occasions. it kinda sucks not that i look back on it!!!

AlaskanMelody- lol thats not age chick. I do the same thing. I have to have a water cut off time. ive gotten up 6 times in 1 night before and i'm only 20!!!

Liz- hope you feel better!!!

Well like i said tomorrow is the 1st day of my 2 day fast and then starting monday my butt is back in the gym. everyone have a great night!!!

Brittni

Jest wanted to stop in for a few . Things here are going ok. Havnt made the water goal yet but I have been doing good on the eating. I will catch up with all you tomorrow.

Hello!!!

It's soooo nice to be at home on an early Saturday morning. No one even in production is working this weekend. I think they're just about caught up. Thank God! :tired: :faint:
I woke up at 6 this morning and I was not able to go back to sleep. Perhaps it's better for me to just stay awake. Have some coffee, straighten up and tackle my Callanetics. I can't wait to buy my dress. Right now my 20s (and 18ws) are too loose and my 18s are too tight. I am thinking of just being brave and buying a sz 16 dress. I think I could get into it in 7 weeks.

Liz - :hug: So good to see you! I'm sorry to hear about you're having t0 sit the walk out. Don't let it get you down too much. I hope you feel better soon. Stomach flu.... Not too pretty. Take good care of yourself, lady.

Speaking of the stomach flu... Britt, you had it too?!! How did it happen? Was it an email from Liz?! :lol:
Take care of yourself too. And don't push too hard. :hug:

Oh no.... I just hugged both of the flu ladies. I wonder if I'll get sick too? :( :shrug: ;)

Danielle - Congrats on the loss!! :bravo:
If you and hubby get to renew your vows with Elvis you've GOT to post pictures. You can't do something like that and not share it with the rest of us! :lol:
Casino night sounds fun by the way. I love the way your family does things together. It's so, so important.

Melissa!! 2.5 pounds less on the doctor's scale? That's gotta be a first. I always weigh 4 - 5 pounds more at the doctors. I'm glad your weigh in was like that. These things can be really stressful, can't they?
I don't think you have to put on a happy face for your in-laws. It's just too stressful. Just be you. Enjoy the grands' company, but speak your mind when you need to. You're not wrong for that. Or just avoid the nasty in-laws if it's possible. You're no one's whipping post.
Are the anti-inflamatories helping you?

AlaskanMelody - Harvey Walden is the deranged drill sargeant on Celebrity Fit Club. Although he's been rather tame this season.
I hope your trip got off to a great start!

Bonnie - Our workout queen!! How are you today Your Majesty? :)
Congrats on your loosened shorts! That's a major accomplishment.
I haven't been tracking the person from Michigan. In fact I forgot to watch the show. :( I'll have to get on the ball next week.
I'm glad to hear that your daughter's needs are being met. So many people can tell you stories of going through school and being labeled as lazy or disruptive. But all along, they had an undiagnosed problem. It's good that she's getting help while she's young.

Cartersmama - I know about those sneaky calories in salads. By the time we're done with cheeses, dressings, croutons and avocados a salad can have a ton of calories. I've found that salsa and low fat sour cream is a good dressing substitute. If you're eating your salad with seasoned meat, you can get away without dressing. I would skip the croutons and go very easy on cheese. If at all.
I can't begin to tell you have many times I've gotten up to use the restroom in the evening. I've just accepted it as normal at this point.

Well, Ma'Ladies, I'd better go. I'll check in later. Have a great weekend everyone!
