Biggest Loser 4 Week 1

[PRINCESS VIJA]

ETA:
Has anyone signed up for that biggest loser - help the country lose a million pounds thing?

No, I haven't, thanks for the reminder though, I will have to go check it out. I did sign up for Oprah's million viewer challenge. I got one email from them, but nothing since? and I was dissapointed they didn't have anything on their show this week regarding weight loss.

Hi Everyone,

I think I'm doing pretty well so far. I've been making better food choices and following my exercise routine. I really wanted to jump on the scale this morning but I talked myself out of it. I will wait to weigh in.

My favorite exercise is Yoga. I actually look forward to doing this one. Although I love how I feel after any type of exercise.

Talk to you all soon.

 

[UrsulasShadow]

Thanks for the list, Vija! Now I see my buddy hasn't even posted on this thread yet, so I have no info on her...have to go on the other threads looking for her, I guess. Oh, lilygator.....

Funny story - I went to Panera Bread to get some soup for lunch and asked for a baquette (sp) to go with it. I get back to work and they gave me an apple. I guess they knew I was doing the Biggest Loser challenge and did not need that bread.

Favorite exercise? I like my elliptical and my Tae Bo DVDs, I also enojyo working with my hand weights.

My husband id something a bit stupid last night though He left his work boots on my scale..they were wet from the snow...now the scale won't come on. HOpefully it will dry out and all will be well. lol

Question of the Day: What exercise do you really enjoy doing?

I like to walk, and I can walk a lot. I'm awful at DDR, but it gets more fun as I do more of it. I wish I knew how to do more sporty stuff, so I'd be better at it.

That's it for me, for a bit!

 

[UrsulasShadow]

Oops, forgot to post my favorite exercise...the elliptical machines. I can go on those for hours, without hurting my knees. I also love those circuit training machines, esp. the leg ones that you squeeze your legs together. I'm up to 130 lbs on that one.

 

[AlyssinWonderland]

Okay, favorite excercise? I like walking/jogging on a treadmill watching a buttkicking movie! I love to swim. I used to really enjoy weights but it's been a LONG time...

Yay! I got a buddy! Thanks for all your hard work guys!

 

[r3ngels]

Hummm my favorite... I like tennis, walking, and going to the gym.

 

[winniedapooh]

QOTD...I love to walk. Prior to knees being shot I loved to do areobics. I got a buddy, recognize the name will check to see if they have posted yet.

Question of the Day: What exercise do you really enjoy doing?

Next?

Really, I love intensive exercise. Intervals. Sweat. Honestly. I'm lucky that way. I smile when Oprah's trainer goes on how she hates every minute of it. Why oh why am I overweight then? Well two things:

1) My body wasn't accepting it for awhile when I had emotional issues. Ie. I would get sick right after. Immediately. No immunity. And it suddenly stopped relaxing my body. Stressed it out. And I would get/do get so frustrated. And of course stubborn. All or nothing type of girl. Unfortunately. Ie. won't pare it down. Either do it or be sick.

And

2) I'm sure I fuel my body a tad too much

I loved tennis. I gave it up. I don't know why. At one point you would find me for an entire day at the courts.

Next? Tomorrow?

Dona, in lieu of a question I would love to see pictures of anyone who wants to do that. I just learned on the "lookalikes thread" to post a picture and have become photo happy. Also, enjoyed placing a face to a DISname.

 

[lisaviolet]

I love the villains as well.

Me too. I love the Halloween parade. Ursula makes me laugh with glee.

 

[lisaviolet]

the pole dancing is just for her...not for her man...he though...just sawed off their old swingset in the backyard and is looking at renovating their bedroom

 

[lisaviolet]

Vija - thank you so much for all of your hard work!!!

Ditto. Thanks to the four of you for all your time.
