Biggest Loser 4 Week 10 -- CHALLENGE POSTED pg 2 post #19

[cobbler]

I am still around, but no weight loss. I swear I feel like I am shrinking but I just am not seeing that scale move.

I hope it is the building muscle in my legs from this running because I am about to go crazy!!

Mandy,

I'm sure it is. But are you eating enough? You may want to check this. Keep up the running.

I can not say enough about taking measurements. THIS is where you truely see the difference and in the end what matters. If you are losing inches who cares if the scale moves.

Hey everyone, FIRST I am reporting in for ohMom, she has had a minor family crisis and will not be checking in on WISH for a couple of days. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE send prayers for her and her family. I know she would appreciate it. I will post a challenge for us this coming week, and help out until she is back.

Hang in there Molli!!!!





I have been very MIA and promise to change that! I am now officially a Godmother! Today was the Christening and it was a beatiful ceremony. And I did great with the buffet and desert table. Very proud of myself.

I also did pretty good with the phone interview. I have to still discuss with them about scheduling a regular interview, first I needed to crunch the numbers she presented me with. I am excited to proceed and hope they still want to interview me. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Wow, quiet today.

I made 2 of the new recipes today--one was great, one was a disaster! Now I have to figure out how to post and cross post them...

Prayers going out for Molli and family.

Did my last chance workout and I'm proud of myself - did my first 4 mile WATP!

The scale was showing a slight gain this morning so hopefully this will at least knock it down to a maintain or maybe even a loss for the weigh in tomorrow.

 

[whgrn]

OK, so did everyone here starve to death or something??? Only 12 posts since Friday, and 4 of them are from me!!

Oh no, I killed the Biggest Loser thread!

Sure hope y'all come out of hiding tomorrow after weigh in!

Anyway, here's my 3rd new recipe (and it was a HUGE hit here tonite!)

Stuffed Peppers (from SparkPeople.com)

3 bell peppers (color of choice--I used red)
1 cup cooked rice
3/4 pound ground turkey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup onion, chopped fine
1 can diced tomatoes
Small can tomato sauce
1 T EVOO

Cut the tops off the peppers, rinse and remove seeds and membranes. Put a small amount of tomato sauce in baking dish--enough to cover the bottom. Stand the peppers up in the dish. Saute onion in EVOO, add garlic and saute, add turkey and cook until browned. Add rice and tomatoes. Stuff into peppers. Bake 30 minutes at 350. Top with shredded cheese for last few minutes if desired.

I have had a couple of bad weeks.....I have just struggled. And as usual not posting and bad weeks go hand in hand for me. HOWEVER.....I did call and reactivate my gym membership tonight and am planning on getting up bright and early in the morning. I'm hoping for a maintain tomorrow....but if it's a gain I won't be surprised....mad at myself....but I am the one who has put everything eaten in my mouth the last week and I'm the only one to blame. But my bad week is OVER and I will be journaling again starting tomorrow. Good luck everyone with weigh in tomorrow!!
