Hi Turtles, here's the spot where we can post our weight outcomes for the week. Best of everything to us all!!!!
Judy
234.6/189.8/thinner :cool:

The Turtles Biggest Loser Challenge:

I am totally up for the competition so just to recap so I am sure I understand:

• Exercise 3 Times a Week
• Eat within our points/calories
• Give support to the group
• Keep a food journal
• Try 1 new meal/recipe every week (on plan)
• Drink our water
• Make a personal weight loss goal to have, and the end of the show will be our target date

Weigh in and Challenge update for the first week for Princess:

Weigh In: I was down .4 lbs (Not what I had hoped)
Exercised: 3 times
New recipe: Crockpot Chicken Parmasen
Checked in and posted on 3FC each day
Journaled each day & drank my water
I ate within my calories most days but went over on a couple but over all I think that I did much better this week then I have in a long time.
I ate out a total of 5 times plus had a birthday celebration in there too LOL - but I did my planning and made the best choices I could so even though I am only down .4 lbs I was not too unhappy with the week in general.

Weigh In: I was up 1.8 :(
Exercised: 6 times
New recipe:I didn't :(
Checked in and posted on 3FC each day
Journaled each day & drank my water

I stayed within my points for the week. I ate my weeklies and part of my activity points but not all. I ate about 1/2 of them. I guess this week I'll try not eating any of them, and see how that goes, or maybe I'll eat them all. I don't know what to do....I'm running tomorrow 11 miles, so that's going to be a huge chunk of points. Any advice is greatly needed!!

okay so I decided to weigh in today even though my official WI are Mondays( at home as I'm doing this online)

Weigh in : down .6
Exercised : everyday
New Recipe : I'm making Turkey Salsa burgers tonight
Checked in and posted on 3FC each day

At the rate I am losing weight it is unlikely that I will hit my overall weight loss goal for this contest but I am not going to change it, will just use it as a lesson as to how my body is changing and also reset my expectations so that I don't get discouraged.
