Between the BLs (Biggest Loser) Summer Challenge 2010 Part 1

[Rose&Mike]

this is so exciting rather than look at 'food porn' i am on the weight loss challenge.....WE CAN DO THIS!!!! I have 8lbs to go......i keep reminding myself so I don't slip.
Keep up the good work everyone!!!

Too funny. I have worked out so much since January, that instead of drooling over food pictures, I find myself mentally calculating the amount of time it will take me to burn it off. Works almost every time!

SarahMay--I love seeing that 100lb clippie. I get a smile on my face everytime. So exciting!

Awww, thanks! I have to say I have a pretty big grin on my face when I see it too! Amazing what a year can do!

I can't even look at it, I get so darn hungry!!! And I sure don't need help eating!!

Wow this thread is active already!! Tomorrow's my big 5k - we went and picked up our packets. DD is determined to do this even with her Seven's flaring up...I'll just wrap her up tight and see how she goes. She says if the sweeper gets close to her she's going to scream and run from them.

How cute! I hope she feels good tomorrow. Good luck on your 5K!!!

You know you can't get rid of me! I am in. I hope I can lose 27 pounds this summer. That way I can have my 50 pound clippie! That would be so cool!

 

[pintamino]

Can I still sign up?

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

back from DC! Had a blast but I'm ready to get my butt in gear.
We did loads of walking, doesn't look I lost any weight but I'll way in again tomorrow morning.
My heel hurts a lot though. I was going to buy the the shape ups but I was concerned I would fall so I didn't get them. I'm glad I didn't because the stairs in the Capitol and the Library of Congress were so worn I had a hard time staying on them in the first place.

I will be getting my shoes this week though.

I hope I can get my heel squared away and ready to go for the beginning of this challenge.

Absolutely!!!

Well, when I get in the "I want something really bad for me" mode, I drool over WDW food porn and menus. I'm putting all my eggs in that 1 week basket. Have a great time this week!

Good luck to you both!

Glad you had a good trip! Hope the heel heals soon!

Is LuvBaloo the weight keeper for this challenge too? I need to send my starting weight.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Wow...I'll I had to do was sign up for this challenge and I already lost two pounds!


Amazing what NOT having french fries and a visiting Dairy Queen daily can do! Packed my lunch three out of five days and cooked dinner (or ate leftovers) five out of seven. Now I still had a few meals that I wouldn't actually consider 'healthy eating', but I'm getting into the swing of things.


Regarding french fries: I've decided, because I love them so, that I will have one serving a week from my favorite place and make it an event. I'll go there on the weekend, by myself, have an order and a diet coke and savor every one. They make them for me exactly the way I like, and pretty much no one elses fries can live up to them. No more mediocre fries!

Thanks! And thanks Taryn! We did it - didn't get swept!!! Woo hoo! I was slow but not as slow as I thought I would be, finished around 57 minutes. DD ran the last part and can hardly walk now. But we did it!

Thank you!!! I actually held dd back, she could have had a quicker time, but she did keep me going. If she hadn't been there I think I would have quit. I love my girl!! DH did it with us too but he ran it (after he made sure dd and I wouldn't be offended).

I'm a drop out from the Loser 9 challenge, but I'm going to sign up for this again. Hope to lose 20 pounds during the challenge.

Thanks to all of you who put the time and effort into running this challenge.

I think that is a great plan, Jackie. This is supposed to be something that you can live with the rest of your life.

Hooray for you doing the 5K today, jennz!

NCRedding! Nice to see you here!

pinkle, there are some instructions about how the challenge works in the first post of this thread that you might want to review. You can also check out the spring challenge thread that is still going while we wait for the final results.

We'll make the official move to this thread before Friday so stay tuned and stay healthy!

Thanks, Lisa, for already putting me in for this challenge! I just spent the last long while this afternoon catching up over here--can't believe it's already 8 pages long! Looks like this one will move quickly too

I'm excited to start on Friday--I decided to 'take off' Friday and today--and am up 2 lbs already... so I'd better stop this and get back on track... going to follow pjlla's shining example and put together a plan for the next week... and also look to Tigger's posts to remind me to exercise - and exercise and then exercise some more... once I have earned maintenance then I can back off--but til then there's lots of moving to be done

This looks like a great group so far I must say that I am rather excited to see so many from the events board--since at some point during this challenge I am hoping to be down enough weight to possibly begin the C25K--still way too big to do that to my knees or ankles (the 2 places on my legs that feel the most pain). So I know I'll be able to get some great advice from you all as I start that process that right now really scares me almost to death. But I heard a wise woman (Mary Ellen Edmunds) once say that you should do something every day that scares you half to death... so I'll be working up to tackle that one

Have a great week as you prepare for what will be a magically disney-filled weight loss challenge. I look forward to getting to 'know' you this summer.
