Biggest Loser Purple Team Week 17 Dec 27 -Jan 3

[CJK]

I didn't see a new thread for this week, so I hope no one minds that I'm starting one now.

Happy Holidays everyone!! How is everyone doing? I have actually managed to hold my own! I've kept up with exercising and portion control on the most part. I did really blow it one night with the sweets (a buffet of CHOCOLATE is too much to resist!!), but the scale seems to tell another story. I may even be down one pound which boggles my mind. I'll wait to see what happens next Wednesday before I get too excited though! ;) Of course, I'm heading to a party in a couple hours so we'll see how that goes!

How's everyone else doing?

Hi CJK. Thanks for starting this week's thread. We will know how I did when I weigh in a couple of days. I wore myself out getting ready for Christmas and I have been catching up on sleep. Christmas day I went to bed at 8PM and last night it was about the same time. I woke up this morning not being able to swallow since my throat was so sore. I couldn't even make it through a yoga routine this morning since I couldn't breath. Maybe tomorrow. I am just sitting here drinking a cup of tea and picking up my knitting. Yesterday I spent a lot of time on the computer sending email birthday cards to my sister. She moved out of state in the last few months and this is her first birthday not around the family. It was also her 50th so I sent her 50 email cards yesterday. It wasn't too bad until I found out about 40 cards into it that I had her wrong email address and I had to start all over again. I hope she liked them.

I hope to get back into exercising tomorrow but I may stay up late tonight to watch Rutger's play in the Texas Bowl. I hope they show the halftime show. MY ds's girlfriend is in the color guard (Interestingly enough his very first girl friend also plays saxaphone in the band and yes they all know each other)

CJK congrats on doing so well this crazy week.

Hope everyone is doing okay. Let's see what next Wed brings. I wish that is was going later into the month than the 3rd. My last party is on New Year's Eve.

I just had to reply. What a sweet gesture. I'm sure your sis loved them, as well as the unknown reciepient of 40 or so greetings.

I hope you're feeling better soon!

Donac: I agree with Alaskamom, how very nice of you to go to all that trouble to give your sister a special day! Are you feeling better now?

I'm doing well. I had some DELECTABLE candy cane cheesecake at the party I went to the other day. I was easy on all the rest of the food so that I could indulge a little. The scale seems to be cooperating, so I think my plan worked! I'm trying to plan my food for tomorrow so as to allow a couple glasses of champagne. I haven't had any champagne for months.

I hope everyone has a healthy and happy New Year's Eve as we all get ready to start the new year off right with healthy living!! :goodvibes

Hi everyone. I am feeling some what better. My eating has not been as good as it could be and I am nervous about weighing in next week. We'll see next week. I am bringing veggies to a new year's party tomorrow night so that should help.Have a great night everyone.

Happy New Year Purple Team

Happy New Year!!!!!!! :cheer2: :woohoo:

How was your party last night Donac? We opted to stay home last night. With all the parties we've had this holiday season, we welcomed the break! Dh is still fighting a rather nasty cold anyway. We did ring in the new year with some champagne though. It was nice. :cloud9:

Is everyone ready for the final weigh-in on Wednesday?? ;) I'm nervous about it with all the food we've been eating (and will eat tomorrow - yes, another get together with friends!).

When did this challenge officially begin? I joined the challenge late (mid-October), so I'm curious to know how much weight I've lost since the actual beginning of the challenge. I bought a little red dress yesterday which I wore in my "after picture" yesterday. I'm not really at my ideal goal yet, but for the sake of this challenge, I took an after picture.

Let's go Purple team! We have 2 days left of this challenge to make a difference and then it's onto a healthier, happier new you in 2007!
